When this division is made Miss
Helen Gould, who is a charming girl,
will be, in her own right, the wealthiest
young unmarried lady in the world. Jay
Gould does not repose the confidence in
his second son, Eddie, that he honors
George with, but Eddie is smart youth,
who can be expected to double the
amount his father gives him in a few
years. Wall street is anxiously waiting
for Mr.. Gould to make public his inten-
ton, when the lucky sharers in his
bounty will be warmly congratulated.
Russell Sage was asked what he
thought of the report that Mr.. Gould was
going to divide his property as outlined
above.
"It is all talk" answered Mr.. Sage.
"Mr Gould is well able to take care of
his property and does not intend to make
it over to George or anybody else"

doubt of the truth of the report that he
is to divide his property, and / expect TO
see Mr. Gould himself announce it in q
day or two. 1t is fact that cannot be
questioned that Mr.. Gould has made up
his mind that his days of usefulness in
business are over, and he is glad to
throw up the sponge and leave the field
TO other men. Since his ill.health Mr..
Gould frequently refers to the sudden
death of William II. Vanderbilt, and in
his conversation he betroys fear that
his own life may be cut off quite as
suddenly. To bis friends Mr.. Gould
has often said that Mr.. Vanderbilt's
plan of dividing his property before
death met his hearty appreciation, and
every rich man should do the same"

death ?" asked the reporter.

Wall street brokers are figuring up the

recalled that in July, 1882, when the air
was filed with rumors adverse to Mr..
Gould's financial standing, he had called
into his Office three well-known gentle
men of this city and had exhibited
bonds, stocks and other securities stand

which was S25, 900, 600. Mr.. Gould's for

years ago, and the general opinion places

Stage Robber Sentenced:

He received his sen- tence complacently and seemed un- moved when It was pronounced, hay ing evidently nerved himself for the erdeal. But as he was conducted from the court room to the jail he seemed ts be in dazed condition and could only muttsr twelve years-twelve years" On reaching his cell he gave way to his grief and came very near falnting. He is quite intelligent man of perhaps 26 years of age, of pleasant appearance and has not the look of a bravado or hardened crlmi- nal. He IS lame in enc leg and walks with a slight limp.

ANClllA lLGLttANAsJ
 MT. John Rarick, who has fer years prespeeted in the Granite Wash, Harqua Hala and Harcuvar Noun tains, in the former of which the re- cent great gold discovery has been made, came in yesterday from that region of country and made the Her aid office a pleasant call. MT. Rarick has been over every foot eff the coun- try in the vicinity and en the ledge where the strike was made, numbers of times, but never suspected that there was anything in it, as 1t was what appeared to be limestone ledge and prospectors, as we'll as scientific investigators, have a theory that gold and silver is never found in lime. The apparent lima ledge proved, however, te be but lime cap of two and half feet Tn depth, and immediately under it rich ore was struck. This ere IS of very peculiar nature, none being known like it in the Territory. It is what appears to be a decomposed, black, ron rock. which crumbles to pieces readily, and it is full of gold; a single piece was taken out which when broken up yielded S50O0 in gold. The ledge dips under the mountain at not more than forty degrees from the horizontal and the lucky prospectors are sinking vertical shaft on it and have cut 1t for fonrteen feet without getting through the ledge. They have located 1500 feet of thIs kind of ledge and taken S75,00O from their prospect hole.

A Novel nethod for DlsDosIns of slag.

The slag pot will from this time on be dispensed with by the Arizona cop per company Jas. Calguhoun, super intsndent of smslters, has solved the problem incident te dispesing of the slag He constructed a siuice box running frem the main Hume to smell ter No. 1, ,-from thence the sluice box runs toward the river, having about fifteen degrees fall and carrying quite a body of water. From tho hole that the .slag is tapped from conductor extends at right angle to the sluice box. The conductor conveys the slag directly from the furnace in molten state and as the fiery fuid strikes the water, which runs rapidly, the matter becomes immediately cold ana granu- lated and is easily carried to the river.

The ssaD Mines ot Nevada.

In Nevada are several deposits of mineral soap. One of these has been worked for three CT four years. The soap is sometimes made up into cakes as it comes from the mlne, but usually it is toned dswn by admixture with various otber soaps In Dakota and Wyoming are also deposits of natural soap. In regions where soda, borax, and mineral oils abound it Is only ne- eessary to brlng these ingredients to- gether and soap mine is the result. Hot springs assist materially Tn unit ing and concentrating the materials provided by nature. The soap found about hot springs IS, therefore, gem orally harder and more perfect than that produced in the dry way in and about the basins of extinct lakes. The waters of Owens and Mono Lakes are so thoroughly saturated with borax and soda in solution that the addition of any elcagrnens matter produces soap. The waters of Mone Lake pro duee myriads ot grubs (which after time become fies) winch are washed ashore, and III some places fern beach, es foot or two in depth. The oily matter contained in the grub or flies uniting with the alkal in tbe water of the lake forms deposit of soap an inch or tive in thickness each year. Thus, in the course of ages, deposit of natural soap of great depth has been built upon the east side of the alkali lakes, where the werms are stranded-the prevailing winds being from the west. These peculiar grubs are the only living things found in tEe waters of Mono and Owen Lakes. At certain seasons an insectivorOus duck, called the spoonbill, frequents these lakes, and, feeding upon the aquatic flIsS and grubs, becomes so fat it can hardly fly, Hunters kill these spo5nbil ducks fer their oil, as the grub on which they feed imparts to them a fshy taste so strong that they cannot bs eaten except by Indians, who eat both wsrms and ducks. Ducks killed by hunters and lost are some times found in the waters of the lake. All the feathers are eaten off the fowl by the alkaline solution, and the lay CT of fat beneath the skin, sn inch in thickness, is found to be changed to soap, hard as the best castillo and beau- tifully white.-Vlrginia City Enter prise.
