Last evening the party Of ladies and
gentlemen, who left here on a fishing,
hunting and prospecting excursion to
the northwestern part Of the county, re.
turned, covered with dust and loaded
with the spoils of the chase and speci.
mems OF mineral discoveries. DIR. Han
son and DIR. Moore devoted themselves
to hunting; NJ. S. Bonnifield, Stephen
Mckinney and Joe Clark spent their
time prospecting, while the ladies
amused themselves fishing. They
Toasted on fat venison, sage-chickens
and trout, and had an excellent time.
They say they found several fine quartz
lodges, samples of which they brought
in to have assayed. and on the result of
which depends the future operations of
the party in mining in that section.
In some of the specimens gold is visible
TO the naked eye, and the lodges they
say are generally large, but their exact
locality is not given. They were at
Disaster Peak, and the prospectors
went over the line into Oregon.

Prof. Briggs makes an attack, in the
Presbyterian Review, on the revised
version of the Old Testament. He
holds a chair of Hebrew in a leading
theological seminary. He charges that
the revisers have slavishly followed the
Jewish Masoretic text, instead of seek
ing to secure, as did the New Tesla
ment revisers, correct text; and that
they have proved themselves incompe-
tent, from their ignorance of Hebrew
grammar, to translate correctly the
text as they received it.

TELEGRAPRIC NEWS.

Dispatches received from Assouan
say that Major Grenfell has telegraphed
that messengers from Gabra report that
Ell Mahdi died of smallpox on June
29th.
A dispatch from Yarmouth, England,
says: A life.boat containing fifteen
men started to the rescue of the crew
Of brigantine which was in distress.
Before reaching its destination, how
ever, the lfe.boat struck q sunken
wheel and sank. Eight of the occu.
pants were drowned. All of the un-
fortunate men were married.
The Herald's Alexandria, Egypt, cor
respondent, had an interview with
Hussein Pasha Khaliff, the former
Governor of Berber, who was presen,
near Khartoum at the time Gordon was
killed. He says there is no truth in
the report of the Mahdi's death. The
idea of Gordon having escaped from
Khartoum is preposterous.
A fatal fight occurred near the John
son ranch in the Indian Territory. on
Saturday, in which Chickasaw Indian
named Ward was killed and two COW
boys named johnson and Campbell wer,
wounded. The quarrel arose over the
ownership of drove of cattle.

The Austin Reveille says of the coal
mine, OF which mention was made in
the SILVER STATg week ago:
Several Lander county gentlemen
have discovered coal mine near Lewis
in this county, which they believe to be
q very promising property. The coal
burns freely and the ledge has fine,
healthy look The locators propose to
prospect the property aud make it q
profitable investment if it can be done. "
Now, the SILVER STATE learns that
the mine is the identical one on which
j. A. Blossom and others spent several
thousand dollars some years ago with.
out finding anything to warrant fur
Their expenditure. A coal mine any
where near the Central Pacific Railroad
in Nevada would be very valuable

Citizens of Humboldt county our prison

go to your homes and stores armed and
equipped for robbery. yea murder!
Look at the foul murder committed at
Paradise Valley, the murder OF Mr..
Scott. Where is the murderer? Why,
he is waiting the slow action of the
law. By and through keen. shrewd
manipulation OF the law justice is
cheated Of it's victim, humanity is
outraged; good men killed with impu-

that we unite aud form a county COM
mittee for the protection of our lives,
homes aud firesides, aud to see that
justice is meted out to the lawless, and
order and good government maintained
in our county. Who will take the
initiative? Keep this ball rolling; don't

A Cholera Preventive.
BIG MEADOWS

Some forty years ago, when it was
ascertained that it was much easier to
prevent than to cure cholera, number
Of eminent physicians drew up pre-
scription, which was published in the
New York Sun and took the name OF
the "Sun Cholera Mixture. 1t has
been in use for over two-score years,
and found to be the best remedy ever
devised for looseness OF the bowels.
rs ingredients are well known among
all the common people, aud it will have
no prejudice to combat; each of the ma
terials is in equal proportion to the
others, and may therefore be COM
pounded without professional skill. and
IA the dose ia so very small, it may be
carried in a tiny vial in the waist-coat
pocket and be always at hand. 1t is
equal parts of
Tinct. opii, tiuctureiopium.
Capsici. red pepper.
Rhei co rhubarb.
Menth pip &c peppermint.
Campho camphor.
Dose. ten to thirty drops.
In cases Of diarrhna, take a dose of
ten to twenty drops IN three or four
tablespoonfulls Of water. No one who
has this by him and takes it in time
will ever have the cholera. This rem.
edy has been thoroughly tested and has
been used with excellent effect both in
army and navy. for summer complaint
and camp diarrhea.

The Supreme Court of Illinois lays
down the principle that the sale of in
toxicating liquors is common-law
right of the vender, and in this respect
like the common-law right to sell any
thing else. The Court added that it is
competent for the Legislature of any
State, unless restrained by some pro-
vision in the Constitution thereof, to
subject the traffic to regulations or
wholly abolish the right of sale as it
exists under the common law. This
view has repeatedly been taken by the
courts Of this country.

This gun weighs about ] 800 pounds,
and is precisely the same design as the
ordinary cannon. There are ten cham
bers that revolve in the barrel proper,
and each chamber has an independent
lock- The main barrel is eight inches
in diameter. The size of cartridge used
is that of the ordinary 45 Government
rifle caliber. Each feed drum contains
240 rounds. The firing is done by
operating crank; the cartridge is ex-
ploded by hammer which works with
such rapidity that 100 shots are fired in
minute. The movement of the gun
can be adjusted so as to make it either
stationary or oscillating, and the gun
practice either scattering or centrifugal.
At 700 yards the Calling gun has been
known to hit l2xl5 feet target 1896
times out of 400 shots. At 200 yards
4l3 out of 500 shots have struck 9x25
feet target. To show the rapidity with
which the gun can be worked, the time
occupied in coming to action front from
trot and firing is ten seconds; Timber
rear, mount and off, thirteen seconds.
