4 Rich SrRIzE.-A rich strike was made
In the lower tunnel in the Delhi mine on
Friday Of last week. About eight months
ago the Delhi company, seeing that the
rock in the main tunnel must soon give
out began running tunnel 200 feet lower
down the hill, expecting to strike the ledge
when in about 800 feet. In this they were
mistaken. In the meantime the pay ore
on the main level gave out, and the men
were put to work in the Puzzler claim.
LOCO feet west of the Delhi. and the mill
has been kept running on rock from that
claim for several months past. On Wednes-
day of last week the men driving the lower
tunnel at distance of 700 feet eEcoun-
tered 4 stringer which assayed $3.50 per ton,
but il was soon lost again. On the follow
ing day it was again found, and on Friday
second stringer was encountered, which
assayed $500 per Ton. These stringers have
now joined and form ledge q feet wide
which width increases as the work is
pushed forward. As the mill is situated
200 feet above the tunnel, some means will
have to be devised to get the ore to the
mill. 1t was the intention of The company
some time ago to move the mill do Hn below

or a trainway built we are not advised

a portion of his time in the field, and
has studied more than any other
artist the scenery of the Sierras. His
most recent field study was in Yellowstone
Park, the river scenery of Idaho and the
mountain scenery of Colorado and Wyo-

of the most gratifying kind. Mr.. Carlson

The VELOCITY OF LIGHT.-Tho Cleve-
land experiments of Professor Nicholson
indicated the velocity of light to be $780,
653 kilometers per second. The Washing
ton experiments Of Professor Newcomb,
using only results supposed to be nearly
free from constant errors, gave 299, $50
kilometers per second, difference of but
kilometers, or about Al miles. These
experiments are held by scientists all over
the world to be of far superior precision
to any others yet executed No other ex-
periments gaze such satisfactory results as
those simultaneously carried on by Pro-
fessor Newcomb at Washington and Pro-
fessor Nicholson at the Case School at
Cleveland. Professor Newcombs finally
concluded result is that light travels in
vacua at the rate of 299,860 kilometers, or
1892 miles, per second, with a possible
error not exceeding 80 kilometers, or 10
miles. -Casiond PiaindedIer.

is needed than the remarkable progress
made by the pupils in the six months of

frank to say that this progress has been
paralleled in but very few schools in the
country. Mr. Jackson is widely known in

adjustments and to call the attention of all
that are addicted to the use of profanity to
