A BLACKING MINE Lyon county
Times gives the following account of an
other valuable ~ discovery in Nevada
It will be strange if Nevada does rot yet
turn out to be the boss producer. She kas
already shown that her mines are numerous
and rich, and almost every kind Of metal
has been discovered within her boundaries.
Sulphur mines, mica deposits, salt and bo-
rax marshes have also been discovered, but
the latest discovery, and the one which
will throw all others in the shade, is
blacking mine. In the lower part of Ma.
son valley there is small lake, known as
Mud lake The reason the lake was given
this name is because there is hardly ever
any water in it, and the bottom is soft and
muddy. When there is any water in the
pond, which 10 in the early spring Of the
year, it has been noticed that it was very
black-about the color OF black ink-and
the people have often wondered what was
the reason CT this. LAST week Albert
Thompson, who has been . resident of the
valley for come years, was passing the
pond, aud noticed that it was dry, the
warm weather having evaporsted all the
water. He noticed that the ground
that had been covered by water was
very black, and thought it a good
time TO examine into the p1atter and see
what colored the water Taking his shovel
he broke the eruzt that had formed or top,
and found beneath a soft, jet black,
doughy substance. He dug hole few
feet deep, and WAS convinced that the stuff
went down. Upon leaving he took with
him a chunk of the slay to experiment
with, and molding it into small cakes set
It in the sun to dry, thinking it would make
| sort of black chalk. When dry the
cakes very much resembled thoss small
cakes of stove blacking tnat are sold in the
stores. In fact, they resembled the black.
ing go strongly that the man wet one Of
the little bricks, and rubbing it on the
stove, applied the brush. The effect was
marvellous and with a slight amount Of
labor the old stove was made to look like
new piece of furniture. Mr.. Thompson
has made location of the lake, and is
making preparations to put up small
dry kiln. The manner of preparing this
blacking will be similar 20 that of brick
making, and it will doubtless be but 9

Several residents of Bear river valley
have addressed letter TO the Secretary Of
War, in reply TO that addressed TO the
same official some days since by General
Rosecrans, relating TO the action of the
Secretary in withholding tho appropriation
made by Congress to improve the naviga-
tion of the Sacramento river.
The Bear valley people seem TO construe
his letter, however, az proposition TO do
some work on the rivera 80 the end that
hydraulic mining might be continued. The
Bear valley people hit the problem squars
in the face Ia the assertion that the debris
must be retained in the mountains and
canyons, out Of the feeders of the rivers,
or be carried on ta the bay. The first they
declare impracticsble, and the second they
Justly regard az too sseepingiy destructive
to merit consideration. II the first
method-thst of cohfining the debris in
the mountain gulches in such way that
rise in the streams cannot reach it,
is impracticable, as the Bear river
people assert, there is an end
TO serious discussion of the ques-
tien. Any other method is not for = mo.
ment to be thought Of. The using of the
river beds ss sluices to carry the debris to
sAC Oay Ac PhOySSA~iOb AtO 5SuE ySfdbI SAA
consider. The bay 10 worth more TO the
State than the whole mountain range,
mines and all. 1t must be preserved ct
whatever sacrifice Of interests in the mines.
The valleys which the slickens threatens
to overflow might be paid for by the State
and abandoned as the bed OF deposit for
tie mines but, even il this were doae,
they would form only temporary barrier
between the mines and the bay. The only
dam proposition worthy of consideration is
one looking to protect the valleys from de-
hris already moving down upon them. As
a means BY which hydraulic mining may be-
continued, they are not to be thought OF.
They are tco palpably inadequate to the
end in view TO be serionsly considered.
The valley lands wonld not be worth
years rental with such vast deposits Of
slickens held in restraint abcve them No
man could place his family en- land so men-
aced. or invest his money IN improving f.

Exciting Scene at the Altar.

Society people at Albuquerque were
enveloped in amazement on Tuesday
night, when the news was rapidly spread
through the city of a sensation attend
ing the arranged wedding at the resi-
dence of Mr.. Edward Powell. The lady
is a niece of Mrs. Powell, and one of the
brightest and most charming young la
dies ever introduced into Albuquerque
society. Mr.. A. L. Stivers, the bride
groom, is wealthy cattle-grower, the
owner of an extensive ranch in Alamo
sa, in the western part of Valencia
County. Everything was arranged for
the wedding. The wine was on ice. the
cakes baked, and at the appointed hour
Rev. Mr.. Kistler put in appearance.
The lady and gentleman soon to be
made man and wife were attired to suit
the occasion and stood up before the
minister of the gospel to pronounce
the solemn vows.
"Will you take this woman for your
lawful wifep" asked Rev. MIR, Kistler.
81 will" responded the bridegroom
elect.
"Win you take this man for your
lawful husbandp" continued the min
lister.
"My Godl 1 can't, can'tr' was the
pittful response OF the young iaoy' Wh0'
bursting into tears, rushed into an ad-
joining apartment
Ladies went to her assistance and ad-
vised with her, and the rejected bride
groom tried to persuade her to change
her determination and become his wife.
1t was to no avail. The young lady
would not change her mind. Miss
Smedley had received attentions from
Mr.. Stivers since last winter. They en-
gagged to marry some months ago. but
since then the young lady has enter
tanned grave doubts as to their compati-
bility OF temperament, but, looking on
her engagement as irrevocable, allowed
matters to proceed even to the cere-
mony, when she found it impossible to
pronounce the words that would make
her the life partner of a man whom she
evidently did not loye.-AlbtQuerQus

Bustles, shoulder.straps, Etc.

The most fashionable modistes de-
pend principally on the drapery of the
dress itself for giving the very large
tournures which are now in vogue.
There are, however, many who do not
understand arranging these intricate
draperies, and there are fiatfgures that
need small hustle in addition to any
dress, mo matter how full. For these
slight figures the newest hustles are
made of eight narrow frills of barred
muslin or hair-cloth very fully plated
on V-shaped foundation piece of the
same muslin, that is curved into shape
by strings tied across it-not by the OBJ
jectionable bones or steel hoops. If
anything more is needed, one or two
steels are put In castings across the back
breadths of the dress skirt There is
also what is called bustle-skirt, COM
bining tournure and petticoat in one,
and this, when trimmed across the foot
with founces, is worn by stout
ladies, and made to serve as the
only skirt. This has some hoops
across the back that stop on the sides,
and there are one or two muslin
founces around the foot; tapes attached
to the sides are tied underneath the
hoops to give the desired curve. An
other skirt that gives good size, dis
penses with hoops, and may be easily
made at home, and laundried there at
small cost, is also a hustle skirt made OF
corded muslin. The muslin with the
cords in bars takes the starch best,
but that with the cords in stripes
will do very well. These skirts are
about two yards and an eighth In
width at the foot, with the front and
side cores slightly sloped to the top,
and the back breadth sloped up the
middle, thus cutting it in two pieces TO
make shapely foundation for iounces
| that are placed across it. There are
| five of the fiounces that cover 1t from q
few inches below the belt to the foot,
and the lowest founce goes below the
skirt. These gathered founces are very
| full, and after being stiffiy starched
they are worn s'rough-dried''-tha is,
without ironing. Instead of a straight
belt they have a French waistband
shaped to q point in front, and made
quite large, with a drawing-strin In
/ the top. Such skirts can be bought in the
shops for one dollar, and can probably be
made at home at even less expense. The
hair pads or cushion bustles are still
put inside of dress skirts, but are object
ed to on account of their warmth. A
| plating of very stiff barred crinoline il
Q better arrangement, and may be at
tached to the belt of each dress.
Shoulder-straps similar to gentle
mems suspenders are furnished to hole
up heavily trimmed dress skirts, an6
keep them in their proper place just be
low the waist line. These may bt
merely elastic ribbons sewed perma
nently to the skirt back to be passed
over the shoulders and hooked or but
toned to the belt in front. There ar
also separate suspenders that may b
attached to any dress by the hooks tina
finish each end. These straps tranFfel
the weight of the dress from the hips Il
the shoulders, and the wearer must de
eide for herself where she can best en-
| dure this weight -Harper's BdEar.
