Joe Douglass Bonanza.

Virginia Chronicle: The large bank o.
tailings on Six-mile Canyon Greek, neal
the Carson river, is estimated to contain q
least 500, 900 tons. These tailings arr
owned by J. M. Douglas Of Virginia City
and were saved up by turning the water o.
Six.mile Canyon Greek into immense reser.
voirs. As fast as these filled up and set
tied, the tailings were shoveled into q pile
and the creek turned again into each empty
reservoir. This process was carried on fol
years while the mills on the Comstock and
in Six-mile Canyon were crushing ore and
working tailings, the water of the creek be.
ing then heavily charged with sulphurets.
The tailings thus accumulated are said to
average nearly So per ton. Four years age
Mr.. Douglas purchased the large mill in
Dayton of the Lyon Mill & Mining Com
psny, and built q narrow gauge railway,
six miles in length, from the mill to the
reservoir. An 8-ton locomotive. called the
"Joe Douglas" now hauls the tailings to
the mill, which handles 140 tons per day,
with a force of 10 Cinnamon lat ST rs per
day. and five white men. The mill is run
by water power. Although running for
three years on these tailings, it will take at
least seven years more before the material
is all disposed of. When turned into bull
ion ID is calculated that it will net the
round sum of 81, 000, 900.

was taken with q second attack, which

lmfned TO support cleveland.
UTICA, N. Y, Oct. 23.-The friends of
Roscoe Conkling in Utica and Oneida
counties are actively employed in this
campaign against Blaine as the managers
Of either Democratic or Republican organ
izations. Their opposition to Blaine was
at first individual, but the freedom of
speech which marked their public utter
ances has resulted in perfecting the forma-
ton Of an Independent organization led by
the most prominent of the e~x-Senator's
admirers. At the outset it was believed
that they would content themselves with
scratching the Blaine Electors, and it was
not expected that they would become en-
thusiastic Cleveland men. but they are
now outspoken in the Governors behalf.
Within three or tour days they will issue
q manifesto that cannot fail to have 9
powerful influence upon the wavering
and timid. Private sessions are daily
being held here in Pythisn Hall,
the leaders being Lewis Lawrence,
Judge VIM. H. Comstock, ex-Surgeon-
General Wm. H. Watson, Assistant Astor-
ney-General Charles Jewett and VIM. J..
Bacon, ex-Justice of the Supreme Court,
VIM. Blake and John E. Brsndege, ex-As-
semblymen Benjamin Allen, Alfred Allen,
Henry D. Pixley and other men of wealth
and influence who have been Republican
workers in every campaign for many years.
They decline to give any particulars Of the
conference had this evening, but it is said,
upon good authority, that the manifesto
will be ready by Saturday evening. II will
be sigued by fully 100 gentlemen, who are
widely known throughout the country and
Central New York. 1t is known positively
that the number of Independent Republic
cans in this country alone, who will vote
for Cleveland is fully 1900. Little sur
prise need be occasioned if the announce
ment is soon made that Senator Conkling
will deliver an address to his neighbors in
this city. that will place him squarely with
them in their support of Cleveland and to
battle against Blaine.

HANGED BY A HAIR.
RECLAMATION Of the WasieIewsky
GaIIOws Gear.

0bhhO"s "ChE
60 many inquiries have been made re-
esrding the manner in which a single hair
was made to suspend the murderer Was
islewsky, hanged at San Jose on Friday,
that this explanation is given: The gal
bws-trsp ON which the condemned stood
had double doors, swinging from the
center to both sides. These doors consti-
tuting the trap, we're held in position, SO
AZ TO form a part OF the platform of the
esllows, by q spring bolt. This bolt was
sprung thus, opening the man-weighted
trap, by the falling Of a fourteen pound
weight. This weight was suspended by a
small cord which came up to the rail on
the gallows, back Of the condemned. The
cord, instead Of being at once and simply
fastened, was wound around q barrel "
which might have been q short section Of
the large end OF a broom stick. This
"barrel was lying in q horizontal posi-
ton, paralelled with the rail, and held a
few inches above it by upright supports at
either end. The cord holding the weight
was wound around the barrel
until the resisting power of the friction
almost held the weight. This "almost,"
was arrived at by previous experiments,
until it was reduced to such a fine point
that the additional strength Of a single
hair was enough to suspend the weight; or,
move properly, prevent the cord from slip
ping. One end OF the hair was fast
sned to the cord and the other end to q
screw driven in a barrel. When the hair
was cut the cord slipped around the barrel,
the l4.pound weight dropped 10 fee.
springins the trap-bolt, aud Wasielewsky
shot through the opening. 1t is said that
Judge Belden, who tried W~asielewsky, sug-
gested this peculiar scheme Of r~etributive
justice, but the details were worked out by
Sheriff Branham. The hair which was
used came from a lock Of the murdered
woman's hair in possession Of her brother.
The bare statement that the murderer was
dropped by the cutting of a single hair Is
calculated to make one gasp in trying to
swallow it. but one need only remember
that a single man can hold an ocean
steamer against the tide, with a hawser
wound enough times around q pile, to I'M
derstand the resisting force of friction.

Virtue hath set her crown on thee,
Our President that is to be.
Truth from a thousand voices cries
Ever our champion, honored, wise.
Fervent in spirit, just. upright,
Ordained our leader-the true Knight.
Rich In devotion to our cause;
Challenging oft unrighteous laws.
Lifted above the common herd:
Evil in tongue and false in word,
Vile in their hearts the ha IN to work,
Envy and Islander around them Turk.
Let the blasphemous minions jeer
And SCOT and rant in language queer;
Never can words of vile disgust
Destroy a loving peoples trust.
Theirs is thu infamy and shame;
Hate cannot harm thy glorious name.
Ever around the peoples choice
Shall true men gather and rejoice.
Envy shall hide in humble pain,
Love shall enjoy her own agsin,
In the millennium that is near.
No pstriot shall have cause to fear.
Established wrongs will win their ears.
Safe is the nation where you lead,
Armed, to the war on reckless greed,
Rallying oft to the battle cry
Every man to do or de;
Boldly we'll follow your command
Onward to victory, through the land,
Shouting from Oregon to Maine,
Hail to our chief, James G.. Blaine.
