Powder. House Exploded.

NEVADA City, CAL, July 3d.
At 4:3O o'clock this morning, two
powder magazines, just outside of
corporate limits, were blown up I'M
der circumstances which led to the
belief that the work was done by
people living in the vicinity. One
building, the larger, was owned by
Edwin Tilley,a mining superintend-
ent, and the other was owned by
Legg & Shaw, hardware dealers
and had been on the ground many
years. Tilley recently built his
magazine, intending to use it as a
storing-place for Safety Nitro
blasting powder. Before he begun
work, the residents of the locality
demonstrated and endeavorcd to
persuade him to select a more re-
mote spot. He obstiEately refused
to grant their request, and the
Board of Supervisors were applied
to for relief. That body adopted
an ordinance relating to the matter,
which promised a remedy to petit
TONERS. Tuesday, however, the
Supervisors passed another ordi-
ance, allowing 500 pounds of pow
der to be kept in magazines that
were not insulated, and yesterday
Tilley had that .quantity placed in
his powder house. Early this morn
ing two loud explosions occurred in
quick succession, shaking the whole
town.
Both magazines were leveled to
the ground, and the brick, iron and
tin of which they were constructed
was scattered broadcast, and the
window glass in many houses was
broken. 1t appears that most of
the powder had been removed to a
safe place, enough being left in
houses to insure their complete
destruction. Nobody, of course,
knows who did the job, but public
feeling in the matter is strongly in
favor of the parties.

.'Shadows OF q Great City,

This magnificent melo-drama was
presented last evening by the
Baldwin Theater Company, in a
style never surpassed in this city.
After so many Indifferent shows
it was a relief to be treated to such
excellent theatrical fare. It is a
play, clean and presentable
throughout, of intense interest.
and backed by startling and novel
scenic effects.
George OsbOurne's Jew, Lewis
MorrisoD's Tom Cooper and Stock
wells Jim Farren, were all strong
and artistic characters which
brought out the best effects of the
play. Helen Standish was brill
liantly personated by Miss Rose
Morrison. The play redeemed the
theatrical profession in the eyes of
the Carson theatre-goers, from the
stigma of all the bad shows of the
season.

Crooked Coinage.

It is now alleged that there is
! much more silver in the Treasury
and in circulation than has been
coined by the Government, and
consequently that some private
mint must be engaged in making
standard dollars and other silver
coins Of proper weight and fnc-
ness, which can not be distin-
guished from those coined by the
Government. As this is consid-
cred possible, the Treasury is said
to have been engaged for some
time past in investigating the mat
ter. The Government, as provided
by law, buys $24,OOO,OOO worth of
silver bullion per year, and with
that coins from 100000 to 49,
100000 standard silver dollars,
making a profit on the operation of
from 100000 to 100000. A
private establishment, having coun-
terfeit dies made from proof
piece from the mint, might easily
make this or greater profit if they
could secrete themselves beyond
detection. It is believed that some
enterprising firm has run the risk,
and that great quantity of the
silver in circulation and in the
Treasury is the unauthorized pro-
duction of some private establish
ment.
AS ring, composed of a few
Mint officials who understand lad
dition, division and silence" could.
with very little risk Of being de-
tected, coin a few thousand stan
dard dollars more than they re-
ported to the Treasury Depart
ment every month, and easily get
them in circulation, it is more
probable, if an excess of silver is
in circulation and in the Treasury,
that it was coined in the United
States Mint than in some private
establishment. Perhaps the in
vestigation now being made by the
Treasury Department may deter
mine which theory is correct.

The Sierra Valley Leader says
There is work for one year for an
other artesian well borer like the
one now in the valley. Not one
failure yet. The present company
propose to charge $40 per day. and
as high as 200 feet has been sunk
with the three inch drill in one day,
There is talk Of forming another
company to buy one that will sink
1900 feet. as the one now in use
is only 800 feet capacity in depth
A more useful or valuable piece OF
machinery was never brought into
this valley, as the ranch on which a
flowing well is bored is increased
in value 50 per cent.
In this county artesian well Dor
ing costs the outrageous p,ice of
81 per foot.

Miners Wages at Candelaria.

A private dispatch from Candle

that the Mt. Diablo and Holmes
mines were shut down because the
miners refused to work for 50 per
day instead of 81, the amount paid
heretofore,
On Wednesday the Superintend
ent hired % men, who agreed to
work for 50 per day, but they were
prevented from going into the mine
by the men who had worked there
before. There is no miners union
in Candelaria, but there is said to

BOGUS BUTTER.-The New York Herald
figures from reliable statistics that one
factory in Chicago makes more pounds OF
butterine than the whole State OF
Wisconsin does of butter, which was al
the rate of $4,000 pounds week in 1884
"In addition let 1t be remembered thai
this is only one factory, while there are 1t
more in active operation in Chicago. Then
remember that in all the other cities OF
the Union the same iniquity is going or

Earning Her Living.

without permanently leaving her home.
The Spectator heard the other day Of
one instance which affords practical an
swer to the question often asked by women
who are left unexpectedly without means.
What shall do for living7 The lady
who has afforded this answer was reared
in luxurious home, surrounded by am
pie wealth, and endowed with all the re-
iinement and culture which wealth
and the best society can afford.
Nature had happily also endowed her
with that which wealth cannot afford ;
namely, common sense and she availed
herself of her advantage to 60 to cook

family has thrown her upon her own re-
sources, with one or more dependent upon
her. Instead of falling into the long line
of applicants for school-teachers' positions,
or burdening the mails with children's
stories and poems, to be rejected by cold
hearted editors. she has called her cooking
skill into requisition. She has quietly let
it be known among her old-time friends
that she will serve them in their kitchens
on occasion. When any one of the circle
in whose parlor she once was and still
might be social ornament desires to give
a specially nice dinner or tea, they send
for her. She brings her cooking wrapper
in little handbag. takes charge of the
kitchen as pilot does of steamship on
entering port, relieves the mistress Of all
care, anxiety, and concern, and sends up
a charming meal. such as less cultivated
cook could not provide. She is in such
great demand that her prices have already
doubled. Why is not this an excellent
example to be followed by any one who
possesses equal capacity and equal COM

Women must excel in order to be sue

which can turn off daily work without ex-
