The Fatal .Accident on the c. p.

ne EhthI OEA thc -
A gentleman who was passenger on
the overland train from San Francisco
that was ditched near Cisco, gave TO a
Virginia Chronicle reporter the following
particulars OF tie accident. The switch
at Tamarack station, four miles east OF
Cisco, had been turned to allow a freight
train to pass out of the west end of the
side track to the main line some hours
before the overland train came along, and
the men had neglected to rearrange the
switch In due time the overland ex-
press, drawn by two locomotives, came
laundering along and dashed through
the side track, running off the end of the
rails at the end of the eastern terminus,
where the switch was set for the main
line, and tearing up several feet of snow
sheds. The engineers and firemen of
both engines were terribly scalded, from
the effects of which one of the firemen,
A. ]. Henderson, died, after eight or nine
hours suffering. The wrecking train
from Sacramento brought to the scene of
the wreck the wife of the dead fireman.
The dead and wounded employees were
sent to Sacramento on special train.
None of the passengers were injured.

MONTANA'S GOLDEN FLEECES
sheep Mining tO BECOME the Most
Profitable Industry.

A Montana sheep raiser has lately dis
covered that the wool of his sheep is very
rich in gold, and it is now thought that
sheep mining will become the most pro-
ftable industry in the Territory.
A man who owns a thousand sheep
averaging forty ounces of gold to the sheep
has bonanza. Uulike the ordinary
mining bonanza, the sheep bonanza will
breed rapidly, and man can increase
the stock of silver mine, and with much
more profit. His mines, so to speak, will
double in number every year, and the
number OF his gold yielding sheep will be
limited only by the extent OF his pasture
land.
The sheep mine is lar easier to work
than is any other mine. The miner does
not have to sink shaft or to drive tun-
mel in his sheep. He simply cuts off the
wool-a process easier than surface min
ing in the best days of early California
gold hunting-and separates the gold and
the wool. This may be done either by
smelling the wool in bonfire or by mix
ing it with mercury In the latter place
the gold amalgamates with the mercury,
and the wool is left as a residuum. The
mercury is afterward driven off by heat,
and as result the miner has both his
gold and his WOOL
How the gold gets into the wool of the
Montana sheep is problem. There is a
theory that the sheep in cropping grass
take a certain amount of gold-bearing
earth into their mouths, and that the gold
afterward exudes from the pores and is
caught by the wool There is, however,
no reason to suppose that gold taken into
the stomach will find its way out through
the pores If this were the case, there
can be no doubt that gold would be largely
consumed by girls anxious to dye their
hair easily and permanently. Then there
is the theory that the gold in the wool OF
the sheep has been deposited there in the
same way that gold has been deposited
in the strata OF the earth. 1t is needless
to say that this theory is held only by
persons who derive their idea of the lon
gevity OF sheep from the spring lamb of
boarding house. The Montana sheep
does not live thro ugh long geological pc
RODS, and hence god is not deposited in
its wool by the same process by which it
is deposited in the rocks.
The simplest explanation of the matter
is, that sheep roll on ground impregnated
with gold dust, and thus fill their wool
with gold However this may be, there
can be no doubt that gold-bearing sheep
are desirable animals, and that Montana
is lucky in possessing them.-Ne,c York
Miner.

He Couldn't Locate That River.

G. Washington Stills, a well-known
Idaho prospector, is arranging to go out

ruling passion will never down in these
restless old Argonauts. A man once re-
marked to forty-niner:

Georgia's License for Bachelors.

A Georgia legislator, Connell of Decatur
county, has introduced bill to make
bachelors of thirty years and upwards
pay license tax OF $3.50 a year, the
money to belong to the school fund and
to be used to educate fatherless children.
The intention of this law, which is to pro-
mote matrimony, may be good, but the
penalty is too light to secure the desired
result. A fine of 500, or short term OF
imprisonment would be more nearly
commensurate with the offence which it
is desired to punish.
