Adelaide Eei'sOu's Photographs. From Uncle Bills" New York Letter.
 In one of the many Broadway
 windows in which the faces of
 beautiful actresses are displayed
 either for sale or to force atten-
 ton to other com nolltips, a variety
 of photographs of Adelaide Nell son have just been arranged. "The
 fact is,'' said the man who had
 revived this lovely but almost for gotten beauty, ''that we aim to change the pictures often, and no fresh loveliness has lately been disclosed on the American stage.
 Last winter did not bring out single beautiful new face for the footlights to shine on. Some of the old ones held over we'll enough for stage purposes, but for photographic beauty they were played out. That Is why 1 have gone back SIX years to Nelson. No other face has yielded so much profit to the photographers" He might have added that none has been more valuable to its poSsessor.  She rose literally from the gutters of London for no other reason than her beauty and the mind to utilize it. Through assiluous eff fort she became good actress, but 1t was her face that made her fortune, not only baclu5e she ex
 bibiteI it adroitly in acting, but she never lost an opportunity to have it portrayed for public ad
 m;ration. The photographer had only to invite her once to his gallery. From here to San Fran
 cisco she faced the camera on every possible occasion. She had a collection of over six hun fred diff ferent portraits. She did not exact any percentage on the sales, but stipulated for free supply in case she liked the picture. These she gave away broadcast, and yet in a manner to impress the recipient that he was singu- larly favored individual. The dra- matic critic of her time who did not get one, with her autograph and perhaps sentimental hne written on the back, was excep- tional indeed. These writers are apt to be ofish to actresses as q matter of professional decorum, but that made no difference to the fair schemer. The mail served as sufficient intercourse for the bestcwal of these fayors.

GeI. 1EIles' Report.


 Gan. Miles, c)nnlll,r of the military d,plrt Of ths Ms souri, in his report to the Aliu- tant General of the army. says that before the trolbie New NJ xxi co was pandemoninm, the haunt of outlaws, with the Indians crowded into bad camps; but the control of the military has stopped the issuing of 2.00O more rations than the Iudlans needed, saved S100, 900 q year to the Government, and driven off the outlaws. The Territory is a block in the path way of clviiiz .tion and perpptn ates barblrlsm, costing hundreds of thousands of dollars to main tain between 60,000 and S0,000 h. dians. It is capable of support ing many millions of white peo pie and ought to be opened to set tiement, with land enough re- served to the Indians to give each a farm. They can be made self sustaining. He urges the carry ing out absolutely of all promises to the Indians. The report con cludps with the recommendation that private soldiers be discharged after five years service with the rank of second lieutenant, provi- ded they pass rigid examination.

Invading the SOIthcrn Pacific's
 Territory.


 Territory.
 The atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe and Atlantic & Pacific Rail ways seem determined to free themselves entirely f o,n the die tation of the Southern Pacific, and are rapidly extending lines to all important Southern Pacific points. These roads. when they purchased the Mojave Division of the South ern Pacific and entered into an ar rangement for the use of the lat ter's line from Mojave to San Francisco. expected to be treated fairly by the Southern Pacific and be allowed to interchange business for Pacific coast points at the same terms as the Southern Pacific itself enjoyed. But the latter has sought to embarrass the Santa Fe and Atlantic & Pacific whenever an opportunity afforded, and has taken every advantage 1t could to prevent those lines from cpmpet- ing with it on even terms for Pa cific coast business. Tie Santa Fe and Atlantic < Pacific, finding there was no hope of obtaining fair and just treatment from tie California monopoly, are now placing themselves in position that will soon enable them to as sume the offensive against the Southern Pacific and give them a dose of their own medicine. The San Diego extension, from Mojave to San Diego, upon the construc tion of which the Santa Fe and Atlantic & Pacific have been en- gagged for some time past, will be completed next month, which will enable these roads to reach San Francisco by steamer from San Diego. entirely independent Of the Southern Pacific, giving them at the same time an opportunity to mako whatever rates they choose from the Missouri River to San Francisco. Not content with ther San Diego outlet to the Pacific Ocean, they now propose to at once invade the choicest territory of the Southern Pacific. They propose to build line from Wa terman, the junction of the Allan tic < Pacific, via Riverside and Ar lington, to Los Angeles, the dis tributing point of Southern Cal- iforliil. lie right of way for fonr ffths of the line has already been secured, and no trouble is anticipated in getting the remainv der. The road will pass through tho richest fruit section of the State of California and will un- donbtediy divide that profitable trade of which the Southern Pa clfic has heretofore enjoyed q mo- nopoly.-Ex.

4 Little Mining Philosophy.

4 Little Mining Philosophy. From the Scientific Press
 Never build a mill before you have a mine; that has been the Eastern fashion and has not been success.
 Never buy complicated machine ry when you can get simple ma chinery to do the same amount of work.
 Never base your calculations on the assay of q specimen.
 In taking down ore take 1t down clean as possible. If impossible to take down clean have 1t assorted on top. It costs as much to mill ton of waste as 1t does a ton of ore. The same rule holds good in regard to smelting ore.
 In taking down ore for shipment assort down as fine as possible. It will reduce the quantity and will improve the quality, giving the shipper greater profit.
 Keep cars, track and chutes in good repair. It saves time, money, Waste of ere and bad language.
 Keep plenty of drifting tools and picks on hand. See that they are kept ip good repair. There Is nothing so exaspefates the miner and Is less prohtless to the mine owner than msner working dull steel.
 Always buy the best quality of powder, fuse. caps, etc. It pays the best, does more work, and les sens the amount of danger in use.
 Keep hanging ground secured in proper sha.'e. Miners working where they think there is any dan ger will be in their places as Gttle as possible.
 See that shaft timbers are put in in proper shape and correctly i'll lIae 50 that in working the levels there will be less danger of an accident
 Work as many miners as can proftably be worked below and as few officers as can be got along with on top. T. R. MORGAN. Park City. Utah.

The Republican party was formed in New York ill 1855, just thirty years ago. In the elec- tion of 1855 the Know Nothings carried tue State, very much to the surprise of both Democrats and Republicans. Since then the Republicans have elected the Gov ernor seven times and the Demo crats six times. The Democrats have elected what arc called the State officers eight times and the Republicans have also secured them eight times, though tc speak with absolute accuracy portion of the ticket of each party pre- vailed ill two of these contests. During the thirty years since the formation of the Republican party in New York, that organization has given the Electoral vote of this State to its Presidential candidate five times, while the Democrats have obtained It for their eandi- d lte three times. These facts prove that for the last thirty years this has been very close and doubtful State.-Yew York Sun.

Counterfeit petec.ors.

There is very large amount of counterfeit paper ahoat, and some of it finds its way to the Treasury, when it is discovered in the redemption division. It is here that all the money sent in from outside sources is counted and examined. The counting and sorting is done by ladies and they are the most expert in the conn try. They can tell counterfeit instinctively, with eyes open or shut, and there is not bank cashier in the United States, or even among the large contingent now snjourning i'll Canada, who could compete with them in the matter of determining counterfeits. They can tell spurious bill as far as they can see it,and the mere handling of the paper is enough for them to decide upon its genu- ineness. The silk paper upon which Treasury notes are printed can only be made by expensive machinery. and it is felony to even manufacture the blank paper without due authority. Under the circumstances all commercials are printed upon inferior paper,which lends this great facility in the mat ter of detection. A guile was once taking party of visitors through the redemption division, and was expatiating upon the expertness of tie fair money handlers in this re- spect. He solemniy assured the party that one of the girls had de- tectpd counterfeit in the middle of q pile of money six inches thlck by merely seeing the thin edge of it. lam happy to say that this inl- aginative public servant has been discharged under a reform admin is;rdtion, but after all 1t was only an exagyeration of demonstrated fact. To stranger it seems more like diableri than the possession of trained vision, and delicate sense of touch in the detection of counterfeIts.
 These female experts receive S15 a month for thelr services. They do nothing bnt count from 9 in the morning until 1 in the after noon, and their hands move with a rapidity seldom acquired by the most expert bank clerks. But they make no mistakes. A miscouht ur a counterfeit overlooked comes out of the wages of the one making the error, and two or three mis- takes a month would wipe out a girls salary, as some of the bills handled are large. The drawback of the position is the poison absorb ed by the continuous handling of money. The backs of all Treasury notes are printed with a pigment which consists. chiefly of Paris green. Small particles of this substance are absorbed, and in a year or two the girl who my have entered the Treasury smooth skinned and healthy finds herself d victim of lissitu le, and with her haals anl fIce broken 0 It in m lignant sores. E lcn employee is furnished with q sponge to moisten the fingers while counting. A new one Is supplied every morning, an1 by evelia : its c)ior will hive chln 5a1 to a dull black by the action of the p)lsol. Not wlthstanliny this dra yblck there IS never any difficulty in filling vacancies.

Trout.Fishins Without Hooks.


 From Virginia City (Nev.l Chronicle.
 The famous fish. picnic which John Skae. the former millionaire, gave at the reservoir of the Vir- ginia & Gold Hill Water Company one day when he was on the crest of the wave of his prosperity was a queer one. Every Comstocker of any importance at all was in- vited, and there was champagne for everybody who wanted 1t.
 This reservoir is a mile or two back of Virginia in the hills, and is reached by the oll Ophir road, which winds along the mountain sides Washoeward like a red ser bent. Every guest did his own fishing and dil it without hooks. The reservoir was stocked with Eastern trout, the little fellows showing black and red spots on their backs and sides. They were and are to this day very numerous and surprisingly tame. 4 handful of crumbs thrown into the water will bring hundreds of them rush. ing to the surface toward the food.
 The poles furnished Skae's guests were laths, the lines bits of twine about two feet long. At the end of each line piece of tough beef the size of hickory nut was firmly tied. The instant the beef struck the water scores of trout made for it, and the angler would jerk them ashore l,y their own teeth before they could let go. The privilege of fishing in the res ervoir is s.'arir gly granted, for any one armed with this simple tackle can land a dozen in three minutes. Hundreds of pounds of trout were caught by Skae's party and cooked on tbe spot.
