Vein Formation.

Professor Joseph lie Copte sums up
the conclusions of a paper on the
"Genesis of Mctalliferous Veins"
which is based on the examination of
phenomena of neutrality-suspicious.
by soltataric action in Nevada and
California, by saying that "subterran-
can waters Of any kind, but espec-
tally alkaline, at any temperature, but
mostly hot, circulating in any dircc-
ton, but mainly up-coming, and in
any kind of water way, but mainly in
open assures, by deposit form metal
liferous vein. 1t is evident, therefore,
that the form, appearance and mode
of occurrence of veins must be in
hnitely various, but the mode of for
nation is substantially one.

THE LINE TO KETCHCM.
Men Set to Work Upon 1t this Morning.

Men were set to work this morning
digging rost-holes for the telephone
line to ketchum. The Is coils Of
wire, $50 brackets and insulators and
other material that will be required,
was ordered three days ago, by tele-
graph, and is already on the way here.
AS the contract for the poles will be
signed in a day or two, there will
probably soon be nothing in the way
OF an early completion of the line.
AS previously stated in these COL
umns, the telephone line is already
completed to Main street, Bellevue,
and in few days the instru.
ments will be in place in that town,
and the Bellevue Hailey-Bullion cir.
cult then completed.

Colonel E. A. Wall, superintend
ent OF the Bullion, Eureka, and Ba,

IN this city, last evening, from his has,
OF operations. In an interview will
Chronicle representative this NOR.
n'ng, the Colonel stated that work wa.
being actively pushed in all the Bull.
non mines, and the general outlook
was OF the most encouraging char
acter. Altogether about $50 miners
are employed in the camp, apportioned
as follows:
AT the Bullion (owned by the Wood

AT present nearly all the ore pro.
duced by these mines is shipped d.
rect to Omaha for reduction. and
though contract has been entered
into by the Maytlowcr Company to
sh'p a hundred or rwo tons to the
Salt Lake smelters, there is little pros
pect OF any considerable amount Of ore
beng diverted from Omaha to Salt
Lake for treatment. Unless the COM
ing winter should prove to be an IN.
usually severe one, shipments will be
kept up regularly from the leading
mines Of the district, and where prop.
critics are so located AS to make the
shipment of ore an expensive matter
during the winter months, in such
dead work will be prosecuted and
everything got in readiness for a large
output in the spring.

the death OF B. NJ. Du Rell. He, will
Mr.. Gary, his partner, left Butte a few
Gays ago for the Ceur d'Alene mines
Arriving sixteen miles below French
town last Friday week, Mr.. Du Rel
began to suffer from cold, which
enoed III a severe case of pneumonia
and the two men turned back. The,
were taken in at Peter Shatfer's and a
physician called. The day following,
the patient was removed to French
town and everything done for him
that could possibly be done to relieve
his sufferings. But he gradually grew
worse, and on Tuesday morning fol.
lowing he died. He made verbal re.
quest that whatever he possessed be
given to his mother. He had money
and drafts in his possession to the
amount of $3.50.
Mr.. Du Rel was pioneer of Ore
gon and Idaho, a man of strong will
and indomitable energy, and one who
had met with many 1ps and downs,
and made and lost several fortu oes
The earliest recollection of him is
when, in the sos, he owned a sawmill
which was floated from town to town
along the Columbia river, on a flat
boat, and with which he made consid.
cradle money, supplying a great deal
OF the lumber with which the small
towns in the vicinity of Salem, Ore
gon, were built. Later on he came to
Idaho, settling at Ruby City, in Owy-
hee, and engaging in several bust
nesses, such as saw and flour mills,
and running fast fret ghtline between
Cmatilla, Boise and Silver City.
In 1864 he moved to Boise CITY

lay stands as the finest residence in

With reverses, however, and went to
Iontana to build himself up again,
Quite recently he engaged in the gro
cry business in Butte, but being
'urned out, went to Deer Lodge to
ngage in the same business, and had
ust sold out to go to the Cnur d'Alene
mines, when death overlook him.
The deceased was about 81 or So
ears old, and had his life insured for
$4,000. This was, however. all hv-
othecated. His mother and son,
'ho reside in San francisco, will there
ore not receive any of it.

Stop the Music.

There is an effort being made by the
newspapers, the clergy, the police and
other prominent and equally pious
branches of society, to puta stop to the
custom of charivaring newly-married
couples. The old custom is now nearly
played out anyway in the larger cities,
but in the smaller towns it is still carried
on in all its original vigor and beauty.
Charivaring consists in crowd of
friends of the welded pair accumulat-
ing at the house Immediately after the
ceremony is performed, and the guests
have traded off a lot of congratulations
for al the cake and confectionery that
had been got together for the occasion,
and with tin pans, cow-bells, and other
soul-stirring musical instruments, the
alleged friends usher the newly-married
pair into the realms of matrimonial
bliss. One cannot fail TO see that such
programme rung III on couple at an
exciting time cannot but have sadden-
ing and depressing effect on them.
When young man has undergone for
the first time in his life the excitement
and novelty of taking unto himself a
wife, and standing for half an hour IN
agony and tight boots answering the
critical questions and stereotyped cate
chism of the minister, his mind is not
in inst the mood for frivolity and non
sense. 1t is business he is not accus-
toned to. And when the worst is over,
and he slides cautiously out of the gaze
of the guests into the back kitchen to
make an effort to revive a dropping
collar. that had the starch knocked out
of it the first round, and mop off his
brow and calm his beating heart it
rather breaks him up to be called to
the front door by hearing the sad strain
of horse fiddle and the mellow notes
yelling up from broken circular saw
that is being agitatcd with u club III the
hands of stout, healthy man, and the
cheerful voice of man at the gate in
forming the bridegroom-elect that he
must order the beer or the orchestra
will break out in riot. 1t is not at all
remarkable that occasionally bride
groom so far forgets himself as to tender
thanks and the contents of q shot gun
to the bowling mob. We hope that
humane societies, and others interested
in reform, will take hold OF this matter
and push it to the bitter end, and not
let one guilty charivarier escape, and
thus put a stop to the business all over
the country. If anewly-wedded couple
must be visited by a horde of special So
loists armed with musical instruments
of torture let it be postponed for a week
or two after the couple are married, to
give them time to catch their BREATH

The Chickadee.

The chickadee, or black-capped tit
mouse, is a very small bird, with the
top of the head and throat black, be-
meath light ash color and brownish
white on the sides. This bird is uni
versaily known; it confines itself chiefly
to the woods in summer, and in the win
ter pays frequent visits to the garden
and orchard for certain insects which
are abundant in the fruit trees.
Prompted by hunger, it sometimes en-
ters our Enclosures and picks up crumbs
of bread and meat from the ground.
These little birds seem more numerous
In winter, because hunger renders them
more familiar, ard the absence of the
summer birds and the lealless condition
of the trees make them moro conspicu-
GUS and cause their voices TO be more
audible In tho greater silence that pre-
walls in this season.
We marvel n, the power of resisting
cold in birds so ninute as the chicxa-
dees; but they arc thickly clad in
downy feathers, end constantly in mo-
ton during the Cay. At night they re-
sort to the hoilows that contain their
nests, where they find warmth and pro-
lection; but in The daytime they seem
mindless of the severest cold. They
seek fatty substances, like other winter
birds; and, if piece of suet be nailed
to tree or post, tho chickadees and
other small birds will frequently peck
from it. This contributes to their
animal heat.
The benefit conferred upon agricult-
ure bv the chickadees from their con-
sumption of insects is immense. They
are exclusively insectivorous, and, being
permanent residents, their good work
never ceases. Each individual, accord
ing to computation, consumes annually
nearly 100000 of insects with their

Something lin the Red.

Judge Pitman has habit of slipping
his watch under his pillow when he
goes to bed. One night somehow it
slipped down, and, as the Judge was
restless, it worked its way down toward
the foot of the bed. After bit, while
he was lying awake, his foot touched ii
it felt very cold; he was surprised,
scared, and, jumping from the bed, he
said
"My gracious Maria, there's a toad
or something under the covers. L
touched it with my foot"
Mrs. Pitman gave a loud scream, and
was on the floor in an instant.
"Now, don't you go hollering and
waking up the neighbors," said the
Judge. "You get broom or some
thing, and we'll fix the thing mighty
quick"
Mrs. Pitman got the broom and gave
it to the Judge, with the remark that
she felt as though snakes were creeping
up and down her legs and back.
ooh, nonsense, Maria! Now, turn
down the covers slowly, while i hold
the broom and bang it. Put bucket
of water alongside the bed, so that we
can shove it down and drown it.
Mrs. Pitman fixed the bucket and
gently removed the covers. The Judge
held the broom uplifted, and, as the
black ribbon of the silver watch was
revealed, he cracked away at it three or
four times with the broom, then he
pushed the thing off into the bucket.
Then they took the light to investigate
the matter. When the Judge saw what
it was, he said:
II might have known; it's just like
you women to 60 screeching and fuss
ing about nothing. It's utterly ruined.
at was you that made the fuss, not
me" said Mrs. Pitman.
"You needn't try to put the blame on
me-"
Then the Judge turned and growled
at Maria until he fell asleep.-FdTBte,

Grinding Corn.

The Germantown Telegraph thinks
the new method of grinding corn will.
in time, supersede the old-fashioned
millstones, as it is claimed to possess
many advantages over them. The grain
passes over series of cylinders pro-
vided with fine steel pivots revolving
rapidly against fixed knives, each set
finer than the one preceding. The meal
thus made is exceedingly fine, and it is
claimed there is a saving of one-half in
power, and the machinery is less ex-
pensive than burr-stones.
