pyRNNtp LAKE, Nevada, which has no
outlet is nearly forty miles long by from
fifteen to twenty miles in width. 1t has
an elevation of 1000 feet above the level
of the sea- and Is 2,247 feet lower than
Lake Tahoe, the principal source of its
main feeder. Great Salt Lake, on the
castcrn side of the Great Basin, is the
only larger lake ON the whole plateau. 1t
Is seventy miles long by about thirty
wide. The elevation of the Great Salt
Lake is also about 200 feet greater, which
shows as do many other things, that the
grand interior plateau has slight iucli-
nation or dip to the westward, and also to
the southwark toward the Colorado river.
Lake Tahoe is smaller than Pyramid Lake.
II is only thirty miles long by from eight
to fifteen miles in width. Pyramid Lake
is larger than the Dead Sea, which, accord
ing to the surveys of Lieutenant Lynch,
i tribe over forty miles long, with an
average breadth of only eight or nine
miles. 1t is much larger than the Sea of
Galilcc, which is only sixteen miles long
and five or six miles wide.
THE statistician of the department of
agriculture writes: I'VE certainly eat
more pork than England consumes of
beef: after duplicating the allowance of
that prime article in the British nation;
and we far exceed the French quota of
all meats III pork products alone. and sur
pass by still larger measure every 9th
er continental country. Iowa, Missouri.
and Kansas have larger numbers of swine
feed. Indiana and Illinois have as many
as Austria and Hungary. and, with Ken
tucky and Ohio, more than all the swine
of the German Empire; and Tennessee,
Arkansas, and Texas more than the num-
bers in France. The wonderful elasti-
city of this industry is worthy of notice.
As with corn there Is never a famine or
a glut; small crop will suffice; a large
one only makes greater abundadce and
lower prices. In both cases the main
consumption is at home. No good patriot
can wish to export corn from the Miss
ouri to Liverpool at a cost of % cents
for transportation of bushel, that may,
perhaps, be bought for 20 cents, when
pork or lard can be ssnt from the farm to
the same market for a tenth of its home
value"

Among those who went out to the
 Dragons yesterday, to warn settlers against the Apao hes were Ward Priest, Bill Humphrey, Aleck Jordan, Charles Tribolet, Si Bryant, G. F.. Goodfellow and Jap. Ward Priest and Mehanreturned last night at I2 o'clock from Granite
 Springs. They did not see the wounded
 man, who IS at Sorrin's wood camp, but learned that his wound is not fatal. It seems that there were about twenty Iu. dians in that vicinity, and the presump- ton is that they ran off considerable stock from that neighborhood. One of Hilton's fine mares was found dead, the Indians having shot the animal through pure deviltry. Dr. Goodfellow and sev- eral other men went direct to Sorrin's camp, and nothing has so far been heard from them. Late last evening twenty \ five soldiers passed Granite Springs en-
 deavoring to strike the trail of the hos.
 tiles, and these gentlementhink that they will succeed in overriding them to-day

Birthday Party.

Master Willie Dunbar celebrated his tenth birthday yesterday, by giving a party to host of his little friends, and judging from the noise and laughter oi the happy little ones, they must have en- joyed themselves amazingly. Amongst the many pleasant little faces present. we noticed the following: Bertie Childs, Mollie Bauer, Eddie Tarbell, Emma Ashmun, Edith Goodfellow, Minnie Bauer, Joe Stumpf Emma Bauer, Brent Tarbell, Eddie Burns, Clara Stumpf, Frankie Bauer, Francis Stampf, Eddie Bauer, Ethel Hughes and many other joyous youngsters. Life has it's joys and its discords, its sunshine and its sorrow, but the sweet and joyous life of child hood comes nearer to the pearly gates of Paradise than ought else in this world of ours. We trust that life's pleasures and its joys may be spread out before our little one and Gods care be extended to him forever and forever.

The Mount of the Holy Cross.

In the portfolio of Mir. Longfellow soon after his death, were found the fol. lowing lines, written by hin in July, 1879, but not made public uni recently: In the long, s'eepless watches of the night A gentle face-the face of one long dead Looks at me from the wall, where round its
 head
 The night lamp casts a halo of pale light. Here in this room she died. and soul more
 white Never through martyrdom of fire was lead To its repose; nor can in books be read The legend of life more benedight There is a mountain in the distant West That, sun-defying in its deep ravine' Displays cross of snow npon it's side. Such is the cross wear upon my breast These eighteen years. through all the changing
 scenes
 Aud seasons, changeless since the day she diee.

INDIAN MURDERERs.
They Gan Be Tried by the United States
 and Hanged,


 The two Indians, Kagama, alias "Pae' tah Billy" and Mohawaha, alias "Ben, now confined in the Alameda county
 ail under indictment for murder, have gained national notoriety. They belong to the Klamath tribe and to the Hoora Valley reservation, in Humboldt county. They were accused of murdering another Indian, named lyouse, alias ike" The State authorities declined to prosecute because Congress in 1885 passed an act giving the federal courts jurisdiction over the crime of murder and other offenses committed by Indians, whether upon whites or Indians, upon the Indian reser- vations within the States and in the Ter ritories, whether on'or of reservations. Accordingly Kagama and Mohawaha were indicted in the United States Cour, and brought down for trial. D. Red- ding was appointed by Judge Sawyer to defend them, and on demurrer to the in dictment the constitutionality of the act of Congress was raised. Assistant United States Attorney Henry C. Db- ble, who had chaege of the case for the Government, presented the matter in an elaborate argument before Judges Saw yer and Sabin. The question being so important, those judges certified divis- ion of opinion upon the constitutional questions involved to the Supreme Court. Attorney. General Garland di- rected that Judge Dibble's argument which was reported, be written out fol use in the preparation of the case in the Supreme Court. Mir. Bedding went t' Washington, and the case was argued and submitted about March Ist. Tho decision was rendered Monday, and en- tirely sustained the validity of the law. The prisor srs will now speedily be tried.
 This decision IS of more importance to the Territories than 70 the States. Judge Dibble, who some years ago lived il Arizona, has taken deep interest in tn, subject of Indian depredations. In one of the outbreaks of the Apaches he had a brother killed by Geronimo's band. The readers of the Examiner will re- member the open letter which he then addressed through the Examiner to the President. It was printed and com mented upon throughout the country. Il was in that letter that the suggestion was first made that that this band of Apaches be apprehended and confined upon some island. That course was subsequently recommended by tile Commissioner oi Indian Affairs and the Secretary of the Interior in their reports to Congress.
 But now the courts in the Territories will have ample authority to punish h. dian murdereis and robbers, and it may be that in the future the local govern ments will be able to deal with the trouble more effectively than the army has done.--S. F. Examiner.

. Quite an excitement was caused in town yesterday on receipt of news that a woodchopper known as "Dutch Charley" had been shot yesterday morning, by Apaches, in the Dragoon mountains. He was shot in the neck not fatally. A number of our citizens at once armed themselves and went out to warn set. tiers. It seems that the hostiles have again made sweep around the troop, and come in behind them.

The gentlem m who enjoys the distnc- ton of being "nearly as dirty as Bill" was anxious to join the party that went out after the Apaches yesterday. He was, however, prevailed on to stay home, as it was feared that his presence might enable the Indians to scent the party from a great distance and thus give them an advantage.
