take in parties to share with them,
taking care to hold the controlling in
terest themselves, and drawing from
such parties all the cash they can
squeeze out OF them. Thus by work
ing for six months on the streets of
San Francisco they draw out thousands
OF dollars from the pockets of the un-
wary, portion of which is spent in
the partial development OF the mine.
As the time arrives for taking up
the bond and paying for the mine,
they usually ask the owners. for more
time on the bond. Ii time is not Civ

which to hold possession, and as a last
resort will declare the mine worthless
and leave it in apparent disgust. If
they have succeeded IN fleeing their
city dupes enough to satisfy their greed
they will drop the mine for good; 9TH
erwise thoy will send man to the
owner, also stranger, who will offer
about halt what the mine is worth,
provided the other party fail to take
up the bond.
This is only one way out of many
which have come under the observa-
ton of the writer. Many aheyplans
are adopted by mining sharps in the
manipulation of bonded interests. all
of which retard the development Of
mining property and proves an en-
barrassment to miners and prospectors.
The prejudiced reader may think
that this is written by one who has q

who have. Such is not the case. 1t
is the wish of the writer to correct an
evil that is doing more to retard the
development of mines than anything
which exists in mining affairS.-Cor.

A Communication from Crystal.

CRYSTAL CITY, Colo. Nov. 20, 1854.
Editor PlLoT:'
l came to Sco6eld in 1880, and have
been here ever since, and have seen
the ups and downs of the camp.
When first came here l thought my
stay would be short, but after looking
around for some time and. finding it
was very promising mineral district
| concluded to stay awhile, satisfied
that some day we should have a -four
iShlng mining camp. Times were bet
ter in 1880 than since, because excite
ment over mining property ran high
all over the country. Everything in
the shape of vein or spur was taken
up and every man thought he had his
fortune'in sight. Time changes things
and great many Of the pioneers of
Rock Creek became disguised and left
half believing that holding and work.
ing prospect holes was safe way to
reach the poor-house. A few Of US
remained and our confidence in the
camp is growing stronger every. day.
But few who came in here had any
money, and those who lad were nearly
all tenderfeet and soon busted up leav-
ing their man without pay for their
work. There are still some OF this
class who are holding to their property
but they are like the sick man IN Pal
estine, waiting for someone TO throw
them into the pond. The mineral is
here in abundance, the only difficulty
was, they thought the mineral should
be on top of the ground, like apples
on top of a'tree, and by the time they
found out their mistake their money
was gone. Nature is oeceitful, she
hides her treasures where they are not
to be found by single generation.
The greatest difficulty we have had
to contend with, has been and still is,
in one instance, our low grade ores;
and in another, our great distance
from a smelling point and the lack OF
facilities for Gre transportation. A
large proportion of the mines here are
owned BY poor :prospectors who are
like the rabbit every beast is after
them. The prospector is the legiti-
mate prey of all the balance of man
kind, smelters and mining sharks
included; nevertheless, he Is the found
alton ofthe prosperity of the great and
glorious West. We congratulate the
county upon having such man as
Mr.. Mofat in the smelling business.
We do better with him by from thirty
to sixty dollars per ton, than with the
Pueblo smelters. We are glad to hear |
he has the notion to put up a smelter
on Rock Creek; we warrant he will
get all the ore he can treat.
We hope to see the present hne
weather continue all winter.
Yours respectfully,
G.. D. G..

instant, before the reptile could re-coil,
the coyote had him by the neck and the
life was shaken out of him. In about
three minutes more the snake was in the
digestive apparatus of the coyote. At
least l saw him torn to pieces. and when
I arrived on the spot there was every ev-
idence that he had been eaten. Gentle
men, am done with the subject and
thank you all for your unruffled atten-
ton.
PARH II. CANTO II.
Il desire gentlemen of the Clabber
Club" remarked the gentleman from Al
ALBANIA, ito say, briefly and in view of
the lateness Of the hour, that there is a
wholesale misunderstanding about the
rattle-snake. He is a game snake, Of
course, but my observations have been
that if he can have time to crawl into a
bush, or in between stones, he will do so;
and there, cOiling himself into a pile
from which he erects his head and tail
he will usually, but not always, work his
rattle vigorously; but he will always in
such cases be ready to strike, rattle or no
rattle. I say ito strike, " for snakes do
not bite, in any proper sense; they strike
like a ENTHUSIASTICALLY big end foremost,
and the singer, instead of being the lash
point, is two sharp slightly hooked fangs
in the roof Of the snakes mouth, well
forward, under the point of his nose.
Now the snake, when cooled up, is
somewhat like a steel watch-spring-
when he chooses to be-and, also, he has
a twist-and-untwist motion in his power,
whereby he can throw himself out
straight. This ability to straighten him
self instantly, in any direction, is about
| all the springing or jumping power [
have ever been able to get out of him; on
level ground or down grade of course he
might do a little better; upgrade vice
versa. The instant after a snake strikes
he is helpless until he can coil, or partly
coil, again.
With these remarks, which have felt
were necessary to establish the authenti-
city of my friends coyote story, I now
suggest an adjournment"
! The motion received a loud second
in Mohican, from the Dutchman, who
had been slightly disfgured at the skat-
ing rink the evening before, and then,
with that large ripping smile for which
it is famous, the chair fetched its jack
knife rap that dissolved the assembly.

j. w. s. Perry, superintendent of the
borax mines, brought 20 Cinnamon from
San Francisco the other day to work on
the mines near Death Valley.
The bonanza King mine of Providence
Mountain, has paid $4,000 dividend
for April last This makes S75, 900 for
the last three months. Some OF the Los
Angeles stockholders feel very comfort
able at the way this royal mine is pay
ing out.
Lieut-Gov. Daggett, who has been ia
Calico for several days left on the west
bound train Wednesday. Mr.. Daggett
looks tired. His arduous labors in be-
hall Of the people during the legislative
session have undoubtedly proved Sc
we're draft upon his vitality.
A meeting of the citizens of Daggett
and Calico should be held and some step
taken to secure public roads, II is only a
fow days since the roads in Deep and
Oriental cahons were heavily damaged
by the rain and had to be repaired by
individual parties who had TO use the
road and pay their taxes as well.
The financial crash in New York has
sent its influence to Calico, and Wall
street has been extremely ngitated for
several days. The sudden departure oi
George l.. Bailey for regions unknown
has made several OF our merchants aud
money lenders to go over their book,
carefclly and see il the departure oI
said Bailey would in any way effect
their business, the result so far is ex
tremely unsatisfactory.
