A UEE SNAKE.
It Has More Lives than n Pro
verbal Cat.

IL Has More Lives than the Pro.
verbal Cat.
In North Carolina there Is q reptile
known as the joint snake. When attacked
it flies in pieces, each piece taking care Of
itself. A darkey attacked one of them the
other day, and to his utter amazement il
broke all up, each section jumping off in a
different direction. In the course Of an
hour he returned that way and was utterly
amazed to see il all together again except
the tail-piece. After waiting a few minutes
he saw the tail coming up to join the body,
taking sharp, quick little jerks. 1t came
nearer and nearer until within a few
inches of the thr~ee-quarter snake, when it
gave a sudden jump and hitched on in its
place, with a fuss resembling the
popping of a cap. The darkey knocked it
to pieces several times, and each time it
came together again. He carried his
too far, however, in throwing
the tail part of the snake across the creek,
Just to see, he said, show long it would
take it to catch up;'' but it never caught
up. The snake, with its three joints, was
to the house, where a new tail is
beginning to grow to replace the lost one.
A gentleman who knows much about this
singular species says a head will grow ON
the detached trunk, and there will be two
snakes instead of one.

FIRST SHIPMENT.
MT. Cory Starts to Contribute Bull.
ion.

~ ~ ~
The Mt. Cory mine, IL miles west of
Hawthorne on the Carson q Colorado
railroad, Esmeralda county, has made it's
first shipment of IA bars Of silver and gold
bullion, weighing 1.740 pounds and
valued at $40. 729 80. When the fact is
taken into consideration that the work 80
far done at the mill has mainly been ex-
p~erimenting and adjusting the numerous
pieces of machinery, this shipment, says
the Walker Lake Bulletin, is a large one
and the parties Immediately interested are
justified in feeling satisfied with the result.
Everything is now in fine condition and
there will be no more delays other than
those OF a nature to be expected in so
large a mill. From this time on regular
shipments will be made. The bullion is
800 fine, thus proving beyond a doubt
that the teaching process is the best that
could have been adopted, as it was pre-
dicted that, on account OF the character OF
the ore, ii would not be possible to get it
more than GOO fine. The mine is looking
we'll and new developments of ore are con-
~tinuaily being made. The base Stag, con-
sisting of copper and lead and carrying
silver, will be allowed to accumulate at
the mill until there is enough to make q
carload, and no shipments of less than
that amount will be made.

$3.50 for ssTex VS.

Sheriff Taber of Elko offers this reward
for the capture of "Tex" (J.J. Smith,, who
escaped from the County Jail Thursday
night. The Independent says that on
going into the Jail Friday morning. the
jailer observed a hole in ''Tex's" cell door
that a person of the prisoners size could
get through. Further examination re.
vealed q hole in the outer wall of the Jail
on the east side near the foundation,
through which the prisoner had evidently
gained the open air. After cutting through
the two-inch flooring of the cell, the pris-
oner removed a few rocks lying between
the timbers supporting the floor, thus
making a passage through which he easily
crawled to the outer brick wall. An open
ing through this was easily effected. The
only implement left behind was one jaw
of a pair of shears, but others were proba-
bly, employed, as, owing to the position of
the jail windows, a friend on the outside
could pass implements inside during the
day without much danger of detection.

also, q complete stock Of mining imple-

themselves whether or not they are able to
get on top in the sharp competition that
now prevails in Eureka.

A sTRANGER DROPS IN.
He Raises n Row that Nobody Car
Account For.

There are queer green specimens Of the
genus homo that occasionally get detached
from their anchorage in the backwoods, or
are driven from their mountain Businesses,
perhaps; and when these specimens start
out to roam there is no telling where they
will fetch up or how long they will have to
travel before they learn anything of the
big world. One of these floats, q picture
Of Uncle Sam, got into Eureka, some way
or other, some time yesterday. He pre-
scented in himself q type Of Uncle Sam, and
halls from Indiana, or possibly from the
forests OF Maine. When the rush was on,
and Godfrey h Evans restaurant was
crowded, last evening, three walters rush
ing in and out of the grub department,
otherwise known as the kitchen, and the
air was full Of orders and flying table SER
vice. the stranger stalked in with q cor
scious air. He looked as though he might
have come in to imprint the scene on his
memory for a future sketch Of the way
people eat in a mining camp. He gazed
about with a sharp and studious air as he
advanced, and nothing escaped his eagle
eye. He seated himself at a table and sus-
piciously reviewed in detail the appearance
OF every person present. after which, evil
IDENTIFY convinced that there were no monte
men or other sharpers about, he tilted his
hat on the back OF his head and awaited
developments. The walters were hurry
ing about, slamming down dishes and
yelling out orders to the kitchen, and
presently one of them came up to the
stranger: "Roas' beef, roas' pork, boil
dinner, veal pot pie, baked heart" etc., a
rod long, ratified off the waiter with the
speed of lightning and the expression of a
~phonograph. The float looked at him and
grinned. "Oh, go way" said he; "what
do yer take me for ?" The waiter stared
and went away accordingly. Presently
another came around and ran through the
same formula. SECT eaoutl !" roared the
guest, "an' femme alone, won't yer p and
this serving man also retired. The
third tried conclusions with him with
equal success, and when he went away
bafied, the stranger was seen to be mad
clear through. He arose and marched up
to the counter and said to the man at the
desk: ,'Looker herel / come in here to
git some dinner, an I can pay for it, too,
an don't you forgit it. But / don't mean
to be insulted. II you've got any grub
here, why don't you walters trot it out,
an what do they mean by yellin' of a lot
of heather gibberish In q mans ear Do
they think I'm a blamed fool? You may
go to thunder with your old hashhouse;
there's places where q man can come in
and be treated like a gentleman, I guess T.
and he strobe out and slammed the door
after him. And to this time the restau-
raut-keepers and walters havn't found out
what the row was all about.

RoIIer Skating.

We understand that Mr.. Mckay is max
ing an effort to raise a stock company to
take hold Of the skating rink property;
and, in the event Of his being successful, a
floor will be put in the rink for roller
skating and other purposes. His idea is to
put q floor down on that portion OF the rink
within the track laid off by the Gymnasium
Club last Summer and put a railing around,
leaving the other part Of the rink as il was,
for the use OF the Club. He says that a
floor can be put down in sections and
taken up in the Fall without any injury to
the lumber. This would no doubt be q
~hrst-class investment and we have 40 fear
but that Mac. in the near future will 40

and grabbed him by the throat. Bismarck
shook him OFF, and in an instant whipped
out a large knife, whereupon the scoun-

want" The pair then struck out and
have not been heard from since. These
particulars we get from Officer McGovern,

Blown to Death.

By the explosion Of a steam boiler,
on Tuesday afternoon last, at Letting.
wells mill, near Cambris, David Saur-
hammer, the engineer, was blown al.
most beyond recognition as o human
being. One of his legs was almost torn
from his body, and the other was bro.
ken in several places, while the head and
body were fearfully crushed and man
sled. OF the cause which led to the
accident nothing is definitely known,
and only surmises exist. The accepted
theory Is, that Saurhsmmer allowed the
steam to reach high pressure and the
water to run low. A young man by the
name of Chas. Bright was in the mill a
few moments before the accident oc-
CURED. He observed that the steam
guage registered some 2S0ib, and that
the water was very low. Apprehensive
of danger, he started to leave the build
ing, but before he could effect an es.
cape, the explosion took place and he
was hurled some distance from the
scene, receiving broken rib and a
severe blow on the side of the head
from . brick. His injuries, although
patnfui, are NOT oi SERIOUS nature. Az
the time of the explosion, VIM. Leffiug-
well was engaged in filing the large
circular saw and the most substantial
information he received of what had
transpircd, was the falling of the roof of
the mill, pinning him fast to the frame
Of the saw. His head pierced
the roof, inficting few slight
scratches and bruises about the face
and neck, otherwise. he escaped in
jury. The mill was totally demolished
and the ground for several acres around
was strewn with lumber and fragments
Of the boiler. The unfortunate engineer
Mr.. Saurhammer, had been but short
time in this county, having come here
from Pennsylvsnia about six month ago.
A coroner's inquest was held over his
remains by Justice Rigdon, Of Cambria,
acting coroner. but no facts regarding
the accident were ELECTED other than
these obove stated.-Saa Luis Obispo
