There is blind spot in your eye
that is not sensitive to light, a part Of
the eye with which you do not see. The
following are directions for finding it,
and may be new 10 some people: Shut
your left eye, and with your right one
look steadily at the cross below, hold.
ing the paper ten or twelve inches from
the eye.
X O
Now move the paper slowly toward
the eye, which must be kept fixed on
the cross. At a certain distance the
other 6gure-the letter O-will sud-
denly disappear; but if you bring the
paper nearer it will come again into
view. You may not succeed in the ex.
pertinent on the first trial, but with a
little patience you can hardly fail; and
the suddenness with which the black
spot vanishes and reappears is very
striking.

Death From OverheatIng.

James Littleton was taken suddenly
i'll. in. the Sutro tunnel last Saturday
night, with cramps in the stomach.
Nothing was thought of it at first, as he
had several attacks before. Matters be.
coming serious. however. medical aid
was summoned from Virginia City. but
it was Of no avail. As soon a. sthe
doctor arrived he said the unfortunate
man could not live. MIR. Littleton ex.
pited Sunday morning Vt 10 o'elock.
Deceased was 4 native OF Ireland, aged
iorty-rhree years. He leaves wife and
FIVE children. He was a member Of
Lucille lodge, No. 8, A. o. U. W.; al.
50 was a member of Silver City Miher's
Union. The funeral took place Monday
afternoon in Virginia and was very
largely attended. All the carriages to

The Antelope Mime.

Judge Seawell has begun operations
on the Antelope mine, in Aurora, which
is one Of his claims in that camp. A
tunnel 900 feet long has now been
inn through. solid rock, and the ledge
struck at depth lower than ever before
worked. The tunnel is in good condit-
ion, having an iron track, car, etc., and
a blacksmith shop at the mouth. This
mine once paid largely and the indica.
tons are that it will again prove a pay
ing property.

Increased Rates.

Three-fourths Of the people who had
determined upon going to New Orleans
during the coming Winter, will now
feel compelled to relinquish the idea.
1t has been published all over the Union
that the railroad companies had deter
mined upon common one cent a mile
first class fare from all parts Of the
country, to continue during the Expo
sition. 1t seems now this was entirely
too much generosity for them. At a
meeting of the general passenger and
ticket agents held in Boston it was re.
solved that SI4o be the fare from San
Francisco to New Orleans, tickets to be
good for only thirty days. II was
thought that tickets from Reno would
cost about SIS at the most, for the round
trip. At the price fixed it is doubtful
if SO persons 60 from Nevada. At a
fair rate a great many more would GO.
