A report reached here during the

John Huntoon, cashier First National
Bank, showed US a quantity of mica
taken from his mine in Indian Valley,
from which pieces four by six inches
could be split of. The sample shown
US was taken ont near the surface,
where the ledge is broken up. There is
no doubt but that Mr.. Huntoon has a
large and valuable mine, and deep de-
velopments will show a large vein of
merehantable mica. We congratulate
MIR. Huntoon on his good fortune, and
hope he may realize q handsome suM
out of the mine.
The hoisting works and mill of the
Gold Hill Mining Company, at Quar- z
burg, were burned down last Saturday
evening at o'clock. The fire is
thought to have originated from a spark
which ,mmunicated to the roof, which
bling very dry soon spread over the en-
tire building. The mill was one of the
l..rgest in the territory, 25 stamps. and
viii cost $50 900 to replace it. The loss
is serious one, both to the owners

A party Of prospectors found sad
die, blanket and gun on Warm
Spring creek the other day. From ap-
pearxnces they had been there for
sometime. They were found at the
crossing of the creek. The prospectors
are of the opinion that the owner met
with some mishap-was probably
drowned in attempting to cross the
creek during the high water season.
This is dangerous stream to cross dur
ing high water.
Postmaster Silsby received, the other
day, the following letter of inquiry
from the Consulate General of the
United States for the provinces of Que
bee and Ontario. It is dated Montreal,
July 10Th:
The sister of one Robert Watson de-
sires to ascertain the Whereabouts of her

will include coffee and cigar. Sometimes
members of the house or senate give lunches
in their committee rooms, and sometimes
they bring ladies down below and serve them
up very nice lunches. Tom Bayard, the pres
ent secretary of state, gave lunch to Mrs.
Langtry when she paid her visit to the Capi-
tol, and the event is now one of the reminis-
cences of the restaurant. Bayard has always
been fond of being with actors, and he paid a
great deal of attention to Henry Irving
when he was il this country. He is a good
liver, and it is said that he prepares the
terrapin which he gives al his dinners with
his own hands
The basement of the Capitol contains
q great number of committee rooms,
and in some Of these rooms docu-
ments are piled up by the tens Of
thousands Just outside of the law library,
which is a low vaulted chamber filed with
many thousands Of law books, are the columns
designed, l think by Jefferson, which have
their capitals made Of ears Of corn instead Of
acanthus leaves. 1t may be more appropri-
ate to this country, but they are by no means
SO pretty as the pure Corinthian pillars Of
the front porticos Few people note the
curiosities of architecture which are to be
seen way down here under the dome. There
is a row of columns Below Statuary hall
which have capitals modelled after the to-
baceo plant and the thistle, and above you
may find other columns which have capitals
of corn leaves, tobacco and magnolias. All
throughout the basement of the Capitol you
will find ornamented rooms-rooms which
stand as a monument to congressional
extravaganza Away down in the dark
ness are beautiful paintings which but
few eyes ever see and which have cost the
government thousands of dollars. On both
the house and the senate side OF the Capitol
there is a bronze staircase leading to the first
floor. Very few people ever see either Of
them, yet they cost S22, 800, or over S11 600
apiece In one of the committee rooms there
is collection of oil paintings, Illustrating
life among the Sioux Indians, and in the
house committee on agriculture are frescoes
by Brumidi Hundreds of thousands of dol
lars have heen thrown away in the art
decorations Of the Capitol The whole build
ing has cost for construction alone more than
S15,O00,0 ,000 and I suppose the art works
would run this figure up much higher Scat
tered throughout the great building are
beautiful things hid in dark corners and there

One Of the most curious places in this great
basement is the crypt. which is in its center
and directly under the massive dome. Below
this crypt it was intended to have buried
Washington, but Martha Washington OBJ
jected and his rem aims were left at Mount
Vernon. The dome which rests over you as
you stand here weighs more than 5000, 900
pounds, weight, il deed, which Is more than
the human mind can easily comprehend.

hardly weigh 800 pounds. Twenty-Five thou

nm ebony waiter stands and serves raw
oysters, hot soups and other articles to great
men who prefer to stand while they take
their snaeks The other rooms have tables,
with white cloths upon them and good table
furniture. You take your seat look over the
elaborate bill of fare which the colored
waiter in his white apron hands you, and
give your order It comes in nlomeat from,
the kitchen below, and while you ar0
eating you look with curiosity ON the scene
about you. Congressmen in twos and threes
are sitting all around Jon. Most Of them ara
eating voraciously, and If you look closely
you win see that one or two members from
the back counties use their knives to convey
the food TO their mouths, and, In manner,
lap their soup up from their spoons. There
is Perry Belmont, dark-faced and sour-look-
ing, eating plate of raw o5 sters. and at an
other table Tim Campbell is Nnching with

restaurant OF tine mouse, DuJ TINS law Is broken
daily and openly. During the times Of the
temperance excitements the order for liquor
is given under the name of acold tea," and
old Kentucky Bourbon Is brou hit out in re-
sponse to this in China cups But during
ordinary times it is only green members who
beat around the bush; and / dined with an
Ohio statesman the other day who yelled out
to a waiter half across the room: @Boy,
want whisky cocktailI Quick A moment
later it was served to him in cut glass, and
noted as he washed it down that the article
was no stranger to his palate.
Your average congressman is a drinking
man, though at present many statesmen do
not touch strong liquors Senators Teller,
Colquitt, Joe Brown and Blair drink nothing
at all, and Senator Hoar never touches any
thing stronger than milk. EdTnunds likes
almost any kind of good liquor, though he
never takes too much, and Beck and Black
burn, like most of the southern senator's, are
fond of nice article of whisky.
It is hardly safe, however, for a statesman
to drink at Washington. Some men can do
it with safety, but hundreds have tried it and
failed. One of the brightest men from Col
orado ruined himself by coming to Washing
ton. He got to drinking, and liquor turned
him from a great man into great fool He
was so loved in his own home that purse
was made up for him of 1000, a few months
ago, after he had promised to stop the use of
liquors. His father at this time told me he
was doing well, and that if he kept away
from Washington he could make $1O0,O
year at the practice of law in Colorado. For
a time he did well, anu TRe papers were Iuil
of glowing accounts of his success. In his
strength he resolved to pay visit to Wash
ington. l saw him here this session, and he
had again fallen He has left the city, and
how he is doing now do not know
Your average congressional waiter is a
good deal of swell. He struts around in the
serving of his orders, and he always manages
to bring you such change for bills as will
leave a quarter or dime as fee for him
self in case you viii give it. If you don't
chose to fee him he viii say nothing, but
look of whitening contempt viii spread over
his features, and he win pose during the re-
mainder of your sitting in such way as to
cause you more agony than is represented by
the pictures in Fox's Book of Martyrs.
Your average statesman takes a light
lunch, and the richest of them as rule
spends the least on their stomachs. The aver
age senatorial lunch is crackers and milk,
and the members of ths house dine as a rule
on plate of soup or a half dozen raw oys-
ters. A lunch Of this sort costs between
twenty-five and fifty cents, and the latter

At the right is the house postoffice and cut
side of it lie great bags of mail. No body of
men in the United States get as many letters
as does our house of representatives, and the
letters received here daily run high into the
thousands Each member receives from so to
800 letters a day, and some get great quanti-
ties of papers and other documents Morrison

The postoffices of congress are built just
like the interiors of any ordinary country

glass fronts built in two walls Of the form Of
a right angle so as to shut off about
one-haH of the room, and In each wall
there is an opening to ask for letters, and
slit below in which to post them. The post
master of the house is a short, slim, good
natured, administered fellow from Indiana,
named Dawson, and he has a number Of
clerks under him. The house elevator runs
up and down this side of the Capitol just cut
side of the postoffice door. and the postof1ce
is great place for gossipping congressman,
and when looked in to-day saw Tom Reed

WASHINGTON, April 19-Some of the most
interesting scenes at the Capitol are those
which 90 on under the floors of congress
Below these floors there are two great base
ments, each covering more than three acres
of space, every foot of which is full of things
unknown to the sightseer and of interest to
him who will go to see. These Easements are
cut up into dark passage ways as winding as
the paths of Rosamond's bower, and many of
them as sepulchral as the catacombs
Directly below the house and senate is
the basement proper, and in this letter
| will deal with it alone. 1t may be in the
future 1 shall take you down into the subter-
ranean regions Of the floor below, where the
light never penetrates, and where lost man
might wander for hours without finding an
outlet. The basement of the Capitol is aOn
level with the ground. Going into it we
pass through massive walls many feet thick,
under the great porohes which lead to the
floor above and by square marble columns,
each Of which weighs many tons Every
thing Is massive, heavy and somber. The
policemen who sit at the doors have sort of
8 funereal aspect, and you feel as though
you were going into tomb instead of one Of
the busiest departments of the legislative
workshops
Inside the door you find the gas burning as
though it were night instead of midday, and
standing at the house entrance and looking
down through the corridor which leads to the
senate you see nothing but long row OF gas
jets growing smaller and smaller until the
great cavern-like hoe loses itself amid the
columns in the distance From this grand
corridor other corridors run off, and you are
amazed to find every inch of the scene before
you buzZing with life There is none of the
dignity of the floor obove. Messengers rush
to and fro jostling congressman. Lobbyists
and statesmen are talking together in that
corner, and busy little page with a nickel
badge on his coat and pile Of books almost
as big as himself in his arm, is pushing his
way through them to carry his load to con-
gresham who is speaking on the floor above
