CARRYING GOLD DUsT-In talking with the messenger this afternoon, 6 reporter was told of some of the pc culiar plans that have been adopted for carrying dust from the mines into town. He said, to avoid suspicion the dust Is sometimes wrapped up in an old grain bag and thrown into a water bucket, hung beneath the mountaineer's wagon; or it is care. lessly thrown into the bottom of the wagon in some straw where robber would not think of looking. But this method is seldom adopted these days. The dust is consigned to the pro- lection of the express agents who lock it up in their box and send it off under the guard of heavily armed messengers.-Butte Record.

Population of the World.

The present population of the whole world IS estimated at 1,524,- 100000. The area of land is 52,000,- GOO square miles, so that were the land divided equally among the total population, each person would have one-fourteenth ofa square mile, or about forty five acres. Assuming the first man was croated 5000 years ago, the average duration of human life thirty three years, the population of the earth would have been during the whole time 258,909,O9O.9O9. which would allow about one-eighth of an acre to each individual. All who have ever lived during the past 5000 years conld have been buried side by side in She State Of California.

A Scientific sTester."

E. B. Brown has invented an cleo tric apparatus for detecting and To- eating minerals. which is a wonder
 ful instrument and a marvel of SCI ence. It Is a small electric machine with small points at the ends of the positive and negative wires. These points beng held near together and over a piece of mineralized rock, give 6 constant succession of sparks when passed over mineral of any kind, but a barren rock does not effect them. If the ore extends through the rock continuously, the machine will show it by holding the points on opposite sides of the rock. It will show whether the rock carries mineral or not, and also the comparative quality of the ore. If one pole is placed in contact with ore in any mine, and the other pole applied to a supposed ex
 tension of the vein, it will show at once whether 1t is the extension or not. What is called static electricity Is used, and the theory is based on the conductivity of metals for cleo
 tricity. Copper and gold give dis tinet fames-copper a greenish flame, and gold a purple-while silver, lead, iron, etc., are white. This machine, if it can do what is claimed, will prove of incalculable value to pros pectors, as they can test any float rock or specimen and tell in minute whether it carries mineral, and whether much or little. The ma- chine can be carried on the back. like aknapsack.-Denver Enterprise.

A Sentence For BIaspheny.

In London, on March 10, 1883, the case against the editor, proprietor and publisher of the Freethinker, for a blasphemous ibel,-a case which failed recently in consequence of the disagreement of the jury-was tried again at the Central Criminal Court, before Justice North, and resulted in a conviction. The Christ mas number of the Freethinker for 1882 was, as Is admitted on all sides, very gross and indecent attack on the Christian faith, illustrating, in the form of coarse and blasphemous pictures. as we'll as letter press, the views Of tie editor as to the ridicu lousness of that faitb. There was 50 doubt Us to the resp possibility Of Air. Foote, the editor, 2Ir. Ramsey, the registered proprietor, and Ar. Kemp, the printer and publisher, for the appearance of this number. The re suit was that MT. Foote was sen- tenced to one years impris onment, Mir. Ramsey to nine months impris- onment, and Mir. Kemp to three months, for the offence. The scene in court was painful in the extreme. Foote called out, My Lord, I thank you; it is worthy of your creed" There was a storm of hissing. and there were loud, ironical cries of ''Cbristianp' "Christianw while one woman was carried out of court in a swoon.
