A Premium on Gold Dollars.

A correspondent writes to the Phila-
deIphia Press: Yesterday had Occa-
sion to purchase gold dollar, went to
the mint and to receive one had to pay
$1:25 for it.. Is this right? Does the ex-
ira quarter 60 into the pocket of the en-
ploye, or does the government receive
ftp" One of the officers of the mint who
wss asked about the matter said that
they had no gold dollars on hand for
general circulation, and on account of
the heavy pressure upon the mint for
other coinage on government or private
account, Superintendent Snowden could
not undertake the manufacture OF any
at present. What are called proof
coins, he added, were struck every year
from polished dies on a hand press for
cabinets and coin collectors. The extra
25 cents was charged to cover the ex-
pense of manufacture. This also yields
profit, which is not large, the work be-
ing done as a public accommodation.
The receipts are paid into the United
States treasury every quarter, accOmpa-
MED by detailed account of all the
proof coins sold. Proof silver and minor
coins are only sold in sets. but gold coins
can be bought singly at al advance OF
twenty-five cents each above their NOM
inal value. The only gold dollars that
can be bought at the mint are the
proofs, which are 81 % each, and can
not be sold for less.

Gold in his Eye.

Philadelphia Press: Twenty-six years
ago Samuel G, Simpson, who was then
employed in Dubois jewelry factory, was
cutting piece of gold from breast-pin
when the piece suddenly flew upward,
cutting deep slit in his eye. Although
the accident was not painful, the sight
of the injured organ was destroyed. The
piece of gold was One.sixty-fourth of an
inch thick and of oval shape, Its great
est diameter being about quarter of an
inch. 1t could not be found at the time
of the accident and was supposed to
have been lost. Three weeks ago MIR.
Simpsons eye began to give him intense
pain and became greatly swollen. For
relief he applied Abroad poultice, which
was frequently renewed. When he re-
moved the poultice yesterday he was as
tonished to find clinging to it the piece
of gold which had cut his eye more than
quarter Of century ago. No one had
supposed that the missing gold had en-
bedded itself in the eve, and the discOv-
cry was as great surprise to the pa
tient as to his friends, The sharp edge
of the gold had cut its way downward
and came through the skin just below
the lower eyelid.

Huge Oysters and Gigantic CLANS.

Did you ever hear of the joke some New
Workers played on famous fish dealer
of London awhile ago? No? Well, let
me tell you about it. This man, Of
course, was familiar with oysters, but
had never seen any of our champions; so
some of the friends to whom he brought
letters determined to show him what
could be done in this country in the way
of oysters and clans. l believe there
were about twenty at the dinner, and
after the soups the door was thrown open
with bang and with much confusion
two walters appeared bearing an enOr-
nous plate upon which were dozen Oy-
sters on the half shell. Each one was oyer
thirteen inches in length, being the ia
nous Long Fox oysters from old Point
Comfort. One would have served man
for three meals. The dish was finally
placed in front of the astOnished fish
mOnger, who anxiOusly inquired if it
was the custom of one man to eat so
much and so many. He was answered
that it was, and was gravely Informed
that they would give him an appetite for
the clans, with which the walters were
now struggling. They were the cele-
brated GrOducks that have been quite
lately discovered on the northwest coast,
and You can imagine the effect when /
tell you that each one was over foot
long, eight inches wide, and some were
ten, and all weighed from six to eight
pounds. A dozen of these steamed were
placed before him by the two men.
Eye don't expect me to eat all this, do
YEP" he shouted.
"Eat it?" retOrted the chairman, "why.
bless your soul, that's what we take to
give us an appetite for the dsviled clam"
and at that moment three walters came
in bearing the shell of the great clam
known as the Fridacna, an East Indian
clam. The one valve that the men
brought in weighed two hundred and
fifty pounds and was filled with lobster
salad. This was lifted upon the table
that creaked and grOaned again. This
finished the Englishman. He pushed
back his chair, and nobody knows what
he was going to do or say, when all
hands burst into fit of laughter, and
being jolly fellow he saw the joke and
joined the others and accepted it.
The shell, that weighed $50 pounds,
was borrowed for the occasion, and when
complete weighs $50 pounds-each valve
about $50 and the meat about thirty
pounds. The experiment has actually
been tried, and it was found that the
meat would afford meal for forty or fifty
men. So il you went claiming in that
country one find would put you on your
feet. The shells are mostly used In
churches, where they are utilized to hold
the holy water, and the reason they are
so rare is that it is extremely difficult to
to take them from the coral reck, into
which they bore or fix themselves. They
are almost covered up and the byssus, or
rope of attachment, as it is called, is SO
strong that it requires an ak to sever it,
and when you consider that you are
working under water and have to do 80
at low tide only you can see 1t is quite
a difficult piece Of work to get them.
Hence the price of shells alone is high.

Sweet Butter Fifty Years Old.

New York Sun: Fifty years ago the
Jupp family, famous butter makers of
the Hudson Valley in those days, lived
on the farm now occupied by James Me-
Chesney. Mrs Jupp always packed her
butter in peculiarly shaped jars, and be-
fore sending jar to market always low
cred it into the well where she left it
submerged for several hours to harden
in the cold water. One day in 1884 she
lowered jar into the well, and the
fastenings which held it broke, and 1t
sank to the bottom. No attempt was
made to recover it. A few days ago
Farmer McChesney was cleaning out
the we'll, which had become, for the first
time in its history, almost dry. when he
found the jar. In taking it from the
well he accidentally knocked it against
the wall and broke it. There were
about two pounds of butter in the jar, as
solid and sweet as when put up fifty
years age. Both jar and butter are now
On exhibition at the McChesney farm.

ANOTHER STRIKE.
The Cycicps Shows Eighteen Inches Of
Steel GAIena.

Judge Lawrence came in Saturday
evening, to inform his partners of the
new strike he recently made in the
Cyclops claim, situated on the Bullion
divide, about halfway between the
Narrow Gauge group and the Wolf
tone mine. 1t consists Of Is inches
of steel ga!ena, which is evidently
high grade. The new strike was made
about 400 feet away from where the
Porter Brothers made their strike a
shor. time ago, and on the same ledge.
1t is therefore probable that the ore
body is continuous from the Red
Cloud-w which is the name of tie Porter
Brothers claim-to the Cyclops. The
Red Cloud ore carries an average of
1875 ounces silver and G5 per cent

YESTERDAYS STORM.
1t Wac the Scverest known Here-The
Telephone Lime Badly Damaged.

Telephone Line Badly DamAged'
About l o'clock yesterday afternoon
the severest rain-storm ever known
here visited this valley. For a full
hour water poured down in thick
sheets, varied bya severe hail storm
that drove everything to cover, and
by many severe shocks of lightning.
Several times during the storm flames
were seen dancing up and down and
around the switch board in the TINES
office, while peal after peal OF thunder
was heard in rapid succession. The
line was repeatedly struck, but one
shock is worthy Of especial mention.
Dropping on the wires at Friedman's
store, it followed to the corner of
Main and Galena, where it must have
met a commencement, or some other
obstruction, as there was VIVID flash,
and the current continued along the
line to a point about half mile out
of town, where 1t grounded. As it
did so a column of flame shot up IN
the air to the highth of 300 feet or
more, followed by column Of dust.
This was seen by many persons, who
ran out to see where the lightning had
struck, and Y. r C!ohccy, who was
coming down from Ketc!.un, said It
was the most vivid light he ever
saw. Though distant half mile, it
nearly blinded him. Several teams
on Main street started to run. but
were caught; and number of people
in the postoilice, thinking it had beer
struck, rushed to the sidewalk. Par
ties who visited the place where the
lightning struck, say there is large
hole there.
The telephone line was badly dam
aged. The line to ketchum is en-
tirely unfit for use, while about twent,,
, telephones in HALEY are disabled
Some eighteen hair-wire coils on thu
