Mrs. f. NJ. Worth received from
her son in st. Louis several days ago
a specimen OF mineral wool. 1t has
very nearly the appearance of cotton
batting, but is brittle and crumbles by
rubbing between the fingers. 1t is
manufactured for use in buildings for
the insulation OF heat, protection
against frost, prevention Of spread Of
fire, deadening of sound, freedom from
rats, mice and insects, ETC., and is in
tended to be laid inside OF the walls
and roofing. 1t is also used to pro-
tect water pipes from freezing and to
refrigerate ice houses, brewing vaults
and cold storage rooms. Mr.. Worth
sent the specimen to his mother. who
he thought would be interested in it
from the fact that it is a mat of glass
fibers, manufactured from Stag, similar
to that contained in the Richmond and
Eureka Con. furnace dumps.

WASHINGTON, June 6.-The entrance
of the page with the bulletin was the
signal for a general rush of Democratic
Congressman to see the news. When
the bulletin announcing Cleveland's
nomination was received, Sunset Cox,
with true dramatic instinct, had it read
from the Clerks desk. The announce
ment was the signal for wild applause,
which was kept up loud and long. Dem
o%crats, one and all, inflated their lungs
and yelled till they were hoarse. Quite
a number Of Republicans joined in the
shouting, letting fly such taunts as "You
can't win with Cleveland and free trade"
At the White House the news came
over a private wire, put in for the pur-
pose, and was taken by Colonel Lamont
to Mr.. Cleveland, in the East Room,
where hundreds gathered to congratulate
him.

Decorating Graves.

Complaints have been made to
Sheriff Sweeney that boys are in the
habit of going to the cemeteries in the
outskirts OF the town and damaging
the graves. Last Saturday two boys
we're detected at the grave OF the
late Mrs. George Young in the act OF
getting inside OF the iron enclosure
around the tomb. They scampered
off as soon as they were discovered,
but not before they were recognized.
II too often happens that boys 60 to
the cemeteries, steal the vases and
scatter the flowers that have been
placed by relatives Or friends az trib-
utes of affection to the departed.
There can be no act of vandalism
more contemplate than the sacrileg-
ious s~poliation OF the resting places OF
the dead, which should ever remain
sacred. 1t will be a bad day for any
boys who may be caught in the miser-
able act, and we are particularly re-
quested to warn their parents that
they will be arrested and prosecuted
TO the full extent of the law.

Joe Moline, the Laird brothers and
Giles Weller, who have a lease Of the
Wide West mine on Adams Hill, have
run a tunnel 270 feet long and raised
and driited from it about 100 feet.
This work has been going on for three
months, and the openings are in ex-
cellent ground for ore, which, in fact,
carries rich ore in various places in
small seams and vughs. In one
place a cave occurred where the ore
shows in considerable quantity, but
the ground had to be cribbed and
timbered to hold it up, and more OF
the same kind of work will be needed
before any amount of exploration can
be carried on. The prospect for a pay

Tenn Donahue.
The Enterprise has the following par
t~iculars Of a shooting scrApe at Candle
laria:
On Sunday evening j. L. Callison,
generally known as Doc" shot and
killed Tom Donahue in Candeisria. For
some time there had been ill-feeling be-
tween the two men, which it is believed
arose from q dispute over q mining
claim. On Sunday they met in saloon,
and after some words and q scufle were
separated. They then agreed to con-
clude their quarrel with pistols. Don
ahue went TO q saloon and Callison went
to his house. Afterwsrd Callison com.
ing down town saw Donahue coming out
of q saloon, and said TO him Are you
ready" or something TO that import,
holding out his pistol. Donahue turned
as quickly as be could, and the firing
began. They were close together. and
the first shot from Collisions pistol broke
the hand OF Donahue, In which he held
his weapon. Being disarmed he backed
down the street. He stepped over m
thing while backing away from Callison
and fell once. However. the report Of
the broken arm is not positive. The
shot fred by Donahue missed Cauison,
who was unhurt.
Donahue kept 3 saloon In Csndelsria
for . long time, but has been out Of
business for some months. He and CAL
lison had been very intimate. and were
supposed to be interested together In
many operations. He was quite q popu-
lar man, would sometimes get on q
spree and become boisterous, but was
not looked upon as dangerous. Callison
is one OF the Commissioners Of Esmer-
aida county. He at n time worked
the ground now owned by the Mount
Disblo Company. and engaged in a long
and hard legal contest with that COM
pany for its possession. In 1881 he shot
and killed Joe Turner in . quarrel which
originated in q gambling dispute.

THANsFORMING THE GREAT sA.
HAHA.

In an article recently contributed to
the Revue des Deux Mondes, Prof. Dau-
bree traces the influence Of underground
water supplies as factors in determining
the concentration OF population and the
development of nations. He shows
that Lombardy and Venice, the extern
sive plains Of Hungary, at least half OF
the German empire, an area Of Russia
seven times larger than France, and the
great northern plain of the Chinese EN-.
pire-containing more than 100. 600. 900
inhabitsnts-all depend OF the subter-
ranean reservoirs for drinking.water for
themselves and their animals. The most
striking modern instance of the agency
of underground waters is that resulting
from the French occupation Of Algiers;
borings revealed the existence of an
underground river at an average depth
OF 275 feet beneath one Of the GASES Of
the Sahara, unproductive for want OF
water; III bored wells and 500 native
wells sunk since 1856 have transformed
the desert into fertile fields, population
has more than doubled, and property val
ues have quintupled.
What has been in other desert regions
may also be done in Nevada. Water
for irrigation is the great problem in this
State. With our grand climate and fer
tile soil, water is all that is wanting TO
make Nevada one of the most permanent
and prosperous States in the Union.
