Saved from Stampedcd Cattle.

There was q wild stampede of cattle
on the Potrero road near San Francisco,
earlyon n recent Sunday morning, caused
by the crazy antics of a steer from Fres-
no. Don Ferran Torivo and Ponchas
Sanchez, descendants of the naughty
Castilian cavaliers, who once owned that
country, were driving the band. The
Don is said to be one of the most expert
yaqueros ON the coast, and Sanchez is
not far behind him in skill. But when
the Fresno steer ran amuck through the
herd, goring everything IN his way, even
the chiyalrous Don was unable to pre-
vent panic, and away went the whole
band, "gallycahoo" ON the Potrero road,
scattering pedestrians to right and left
An old man of the name of Hender-
son, who was on his way to early mass,
was too infirm to get out of the way,
and he fell upon his knees in his fright
in front of the believing, laundering
herd. Sanchez was pretty close to the
leaders of the band trying TO turn them.
When he saw the old man on the ground
Sanchez lassoed the steer nearest TO him,
and threw the animal on his back.
Others fell over the struggling steer,
forming a baricade that checked the
stampede long enough for Don Torivo
to spur his horse forward, pick Hender-
son up, and bear him away out of dan
ger.
Torivo then rode back TO help San
chez, who was struggling with the steer
that he had roped. The lariat slipped
from the steers feet, and he made a
lunge at Torevo's horse, goring
the mustang fatally, and throwing Tor,
evo heavily to the ground. The herd
was wildly excited, and it was impossi-

and he got out of the scrape without
serious injury.

seems to have turned her hard hand
against these gamesters. The stockhold-
ers of Mont Carlo sized up accounts
short time ago and found that they were
$50, 900 short of last years business.
Only nineteen persons suicided on the
grounds during the past twelve months,
a fact which indicates that losses were
not as heavy as usual. The previous
year saw twenty-five suicides, and the
number has gone as high as sixty in one
year. The prince of the miserable little
sovereignty in which Monte Carlo is
the only attraction realizes the decline
of his gambling shop and is trying to
devise .neahs to revise its lost prestige.
He has offered to hire himself to a syn
dictate of American gamblers and sit on

vertised in the Paris papers, an expedi-
ent never before dreamed necessary. 1t

The United States Geological Survey
gives some mining statistics that show
something of the wonderful wealth of
this country, judged by the immense
mineral output for the past year. The
total value of all minerals mined in 1887
was S53S, 100000. This is 10000, 900
more than the output for 1856, and over
500, 600 greater than that Of 1885. The
year yield is not only the creates. ever
produced in this country, but is at least
500, 600, 900 greater than the output of
any other country, and, leaving out
England, is greater than that Of all

Using up the Scraps.

The utilizing of materials formerly
wasted has been frequently referred
to in these columns, and long list of
the articles made from such waste
specified. The Baltimore Sun, refer
ring to this subject, mentions three
waste materials now utilized in that
city,:
"Every resident" the writer says,
lean recollect the immense piles of
waste tin from the can shops that
used to glitter in the hollows of East
Baltimore and upon every dump in
that section a dozen years ago. The
first use of this waste was by poor
man from the North, who obtained
permission to set upa machine in
Smith & Wick's can shop in this city.
Here he bought scraps for almost
nothing, and cut out tin button stock
to send East. Atterward the stamps
for shaping the buttons were intro
duced, and the individual reaped a
large fortune from his enterprise.
The next use of tin scrap was for
smelling. The tin at first refused to
flow when subjected to the furnace.
1t was discovered that it would pay
to cut the tin coating chemically, and
that the sheet iron would then smelt
and flow. Out of this grew the manu-
facture of sash weights, and few Of
them are now found that are not made
from tin scrap. Several foundries
use all that is made. The scrap was
pounded into wads by stamping it in
large buckets.
"a most interesting feature of all
businesses using leather is that not
one particle of the leather is wasted.
Our shoe factories alone sell annually
fifty tons of waste. This goes mainly
to firm in Philadelphia, who pay 81
ton for it. A large amount is sent
to Lynn, Mass, and other points,
wherethe leather is ground up, mixed
with medium, and pressed into but
tons. The remainder that is not so
used is treated chemically, turned
into a gelatinous mass, dried, and
ground into a fertilizing dust. The
sole leather pieces that fall from the
block of the heel stamper are sorted
into two heaps. The very fine pieces
es are put with the fine waste. The
scraps, presenting a surface ola couple
of square inches, are barreled up and
sold to parties in New York or Boston
at one cent pound, where they are
put through peculiar machine. This
instrument splits the pieces nearly
through. Then it opens the pieces
thus cut like a book. Thence it is de.
iivered from between rollers, and il
large enough to be again sent to the
factory to be cut up into heel lifts.
"There is another small but import
ant industry which goes to prove how
ordinary wastes of business may bt
turned to account. This is a work o.
long standing, though not generally
known. Inevery photograph gallery
there is annually large amount o
waste silvered paper. This is al
thrown into box and is bought Of
exchanged for nitrate of silver. TIL,
comparatively small amount collected
in one gallery aggregates great mas

every bit of the tar is utilized, anC
some of the finest dyes ever known
