A Boys strange Adventure.

Says the Marysville Appeal: A man
named Miller, living on the mountain road
between Tayloryille and Susanville, has an
eight-year-old son named Peter. Some four
or five inches of new soft snow had accu-
mulated on the ground, and, boy-like, little
Pete proceeded TO make a snow man out OF
the first snow of the season. AS evening
approached the little fellow was missed and
search was instituted. Leading from the
steep slope Of the mountain was the track
OF a huge SNOWFALL, gradually increasing
in width. On following the trail over the
brow OF the slope and at a point where IL
pitched directly into the deep canyon, they
found the huge ball resting in the soft
boughs Of o recently fallen tree. A faint
voice was heard calling mamma" The
parents found the little fellow almost COM
pletely enveloped in the SNOWFALL. with
only a breathing hole left to mark the spot
whore he was entombed. The parents had
a hard time in freeing their little one, but
the task was finally accomplished, and they
breathed much easier on finding he waf
but little the worse for his perilous jour
ney. He said in attempting to stop the
ball from rolling it knocked him down, ran
over and picked him up. and it was all he
could do to fight the NOW from his face Of
the ball rolled on. Had the tree not stop
ped the ball. the boy must have been
dashed to pieces in the canyon below.

Accidents a Comstocker.

Last Saturday afternoon, about 2
o'clock, the well.known Comstock mer'
camille and real estate citizen, j. @,
Hampton. had his right leg seriously in
jured. Says the Enterprise: He is hav'
ing the roof Of the Cooper's Hall building
r~eshingled, and went up to see how the
work was progressing. A plank used fol-
a staging broke beneath the weight OF
himself and two carpenters, and he
dropped five or six feet into a gut
ter formed by the junction with the
roof Of an adjoining building. Some
how his right leg got caught into an
unfavorable position beneath his goodly
weight. physically as we'll as socially, and
the smaller bone, surgically known as the
fibula, was broken about five inches above
the ankle. One OF the ligaments of The
instep was also ruptured. He bossed the
Job of transferring himself from his
roof and awning eminence, sliding down &
ladder, with plenty of willing assistants
safely to the sidewalk, and was then taker
home to his residence in triumphal pro
cession seated on that same ladder. Hsmp
ton took his misfortune like a philosopher
but his attending physician, DR.. Collins
says il will make him pretty lame fol

America Gains n Great Horse.

81. Blaize, the stallion recently boughi
for August Belmont in England at the
reported price Of $40, 900, arrived In New
York last week on the steamer " Holland
st. Blaize is q rich chestnut in color,
stands sixteen hands and half an inch in
hight, and is finely proportional. He has
a white strip in the face, and his left legs
are white. the forward one nearly to the
knee and the hind one nearly to the hook.
There is also q ring Of white about the
coronet Of the right hind foot. st. Blaize
is to be put at the head of the Belmont
breeding establishment at Lexington,
Kentucky. He is a son of Hermit, the
Derby winner in 1867, who for years
headed the list of winning English sires.
st. Blaize won the Derby In 1883, and is
the only Derby winner sired by q Derby
winner that has ever left England for
America. Although bred for speed on
both sides, he is not what might be called
a sensational performer.

1t appears that ex-Judge Clough, who is
we'll known in Eastern Nevada, and who
was recently deprived Of his Judgeship in
San Francisco, is again in the enjoyment
of good health and IL evidently determined
to follow up the proceedings commenced to
unseat Judge Levy, his successor. To a
San Francisco reporter last Saturday he
said that II Attorney General Marshall did
not begin proceedings by Monday against
Judge Levy. he should, by his counsel. at
once apply to the Supreme Court for a writ
Of mandamus TO compel Mr.. Marshall to
take the desired action. Speaking of the
petition for the writ of quo warranto, he
said that the facts set forth in 1t were so
strong that he did not see how the Attor-
ney General could refuse to proceed. and
that his friends had urged him to publish
1t, but that he did not think it best to do
30 until it was produced in court with the
other papers and testimony in the case.

Teachers Life Certificates Valid

Says the Carson Index: Tho statement
has gained circulation among the papers Of
the State that the recent decision OF the
Supreme Court in the School Trustee case
bad rendered null and void the operation
Of teachers certificates issued by the State
Board OF Education. A casual examina.
ton OF the Statutes Of 1886 will reveal the
fact to any one that the Act governing the
powers OF the Board Of Education ia q sep
crate Act from the one governing the cleo.
zion OF School Trustees and does not come
within the scope Of tho decision. The Su,
preme Court had under consideration the
law governing the election Of Trustees
only. This law is registered in the Statutes
OF 1885 as chapter SS. while the law defin.

A Squaw Murdered.

A private letter to the Hawthorne Bnlle-
tin from Aida Valley says: On the 30th
ultimo. near Pigeon Springs. in this
county. there was perpetrated q cold
blooded and unprovoked murder by an
Indian known as Montezuma Dick. His
victim was q squaw known as Big Jennie.
Dick placed his pistol TO her head and
literally blew 1t off. This wal the finish
or wind-up of q fandango, and the third
killing at their annual p~ine-nut fsndaugo
within the past three years. but this las. ia
the most outrageous. and we now think 1t
tim for the law to interpose and make an
example of Dick. who is regarded by the
whites as a bad Indian. and by the In
dians generally az a dangerous one.

BUTTE,

Threatened StOppagc of the Large
Mills Unless Railroad Freight Re-
ducfiOns arc Made.
Says q Butte, Montana, dispatch of the
18th instant: A cloud fell upon this city
to-day when it became known that the
owners Of the mills for the reduction Of
silver ores had determined to close down
their works on January l, unless the Union
Pacific Company shonld reduce the rate on
salt. The salt is obtained at Salt Lake.
The distance to Ogden, the shipping point,
is 440 miles and the rate SIG per ton. The
mill men have long protested against this
outrageous charge, but without avail, and
this had led to tho action of to-day. The
compact includes the Alice, the Lexington,
the Moulton and all the mills in the camp.
The announcement has had a depressing
effect on the camp, as it will throw at least
5000 men out of employment, or about
one-third OF the camp. The trafho OF
Butte last year equaled one-teDth OF the
gross business of the Union Pacific. II
the mills shut down it will rob it Of two
thirds Of this business. General Manager
Galloway has been notified of the action of
the mills.
The recent ruling Of Land Commits
sioner Sparks relative to the cutting of
timber upon the public domain by miners
and mining companies threatens to
p~aralyze the entire mining industry. 1t
practically closes the mines and compels
mills and smelters to shut down. The
prominent mining men of the Territory
have telegraphed Secretary Lamar, asking
him to suspend the operation of the rules
until they can be heard. Petitions are
being signed in every camp asking for the
abrogation of the rules. A petition started
thousand signers.

MINERAL WEALTH.
The Vast Importance Of the America
Mining Industries.

Mining Industries.
1t will probably surprise many of our
readers to know that the value of the
mineral substances taken from the
ground amounts, every year, to more
than four hundred million dollars. This
is not the selling value in market, but
that of the minerals or metals on the
spot where they are produced. The
total value in 1884 was about four hun.
dred and thirteen million dollars, which
was less by forty millions than for that
for 1888. The CHIEF items in this enor-
nous sum were as follows: Coal. one
hundred and forty-four million dollars,
the average price at the mine being only
one dollar and thirty-three cents ton;
gold and silver, eighty million dollars;
brick and tile, thirty millions; manufac-
tured fertilizers, twenty-seven millions;
iron ore, twenty-five millions; petroleum,
twenty millions; buildng-stone, nineteen
millions; lime, eighteen millions; cop
per, eighteen millions; lead, ten mil
lions. These items make up three hun
dred and lightweight million dollars.
No other substance contributed as much
as ten millions to the total, which
amounts TO an average Of seven dollars
for every man, woman and child in the
country. When we consider the i'm
mense addition made to the value of
these products by manufacture and
transportation, the vast importance of
the mining industries may be realized.
For example, the iron ore consumed dur
ing 1884 was valued at only twenty-five
and half millions, but the iron aud
steel made from it was worth, at the
furnaces. one hundred and seven mil
lions. These are figures for very bad
year. The value of mineral products
in the next year of good business will
probably exceed five hundred million
dollars. = Youths Companion.
