The following is an extrrct from O
letter to an Indian in this town. II
was written by Johnson Sides the
Piute chief and the Indians here are
inclined to believe in the prophet:
"Jack Wilson, at Mason Valley, the
big prophet, says he can raise the
wind, level the mountains down, and
make it rain and big storms come
and destroy the earth, and everything
on the earth, whenever he wants to-
and make new earth como and the
dead people must be born over again
1t is no mistake. He sees it himself
AS plain AS the stars in the heavens
IL the big prophets of the indians
don't believe what he says he will &c
preach to the white people. They
have got bibles and understand and
will believe what he says, and who
ever has ranches he will give them
rain and sprinkle their grain fields SC
they can raise everything that they
want and have lots to live on. He
hopes they will appoint committe
to raise something to live on.

J. w. Graydon's invention has for
Its object to enable shells loaded with
large quantities OF dynamite to be
firod from ordinary guns with the
usual powder charge. The improve.
ments consist mainly in subdividing
the shell charge into a number OF
small portions or pellets, each con.
sisting of a small quantity Of dyna
mite inclosed in flexible envelope
OF parafiined paper. A further sub
division OF the charge may also bs
effected by means Of partitions, per
forated or otherwise. In order t.
prevent the dynamite from becoming
fred by the heat generated by tn,
explosion OF the ordinary propelline
powder charge in the gun, the shell
charge is entirely surrounded by al
envelope Of non conducting material
such as asbestos cloth.

According to lie Genie Civil, DIR.
DuJardin- Beaumetz recently exhib-
tied at the Paris Academy of Medi-
cine a new alimentary substance
fromentine which is obtained
from wheat by the aid of special
millstones. Fromentlne is the en-
bryo of wheat reduced to flour and
deprived of the oil which it contains.
The substance contains three times
moro heterogeneous substance than
meat, and strong proportion of su.
gar. Thus, the amount of nitroge-
nous matter in it is 81 per cent, while
that of the richest meat, mutton, is
but Il per cent, and the proportion
of digestible substance reaches 81
per cent of the total weight. Hence
it would appear that 1t might adyan.
tageously replace powdered meat as
a concentrated food. 1t can be used
for making soups, and even for max.
ing biscuits, the taste of which would
not be disagreeable. The wheat
germs employed are by-product ii
the Schwietzer process of manufac
turing -four which can be kept fol
. long time without deteriorating.

The New York Herald publishes
three columns cabled from Paris re-
lating to the copper conference. The
amount of copper held for money ad-
vanced to the syndicate is about
$4,000 tons, of which about 10000
tons is in Paris and the rest in Lon.
don. The principal Paris holders are
the Bank Of France and the Roths,
ohilds, and Barring Brothers are the
largest English holders. The Rio
Pinto company insisted that the
American mines should send only
twenty per cent OF their copper tc
Europe. The Calumet & Hecla com.
pany would not agree to that, and the
conference broke up without fixing q
price. Subsequently Colonel Liver
more, representing the Calumet 6
Hecla, drew up proposition that the
selling price of copper be fixed a
$45 per ton. The directors of the
Bank of France recommended the ac
ceptance of the proposition, and if the
Others do not agree to it copper will
be put on the open market and sole
for what it will bring.

Medical men IN general are prob
ably not aware that in France the
doctors claim on the estate of a de-
ceased patient has precedence Of all
others. Even the landlords claim for
arrears Of rent must yield to the doc.
tors fee, The courts have decided
that as it Is an imperative right Of
humanity that the dying should have
the necessary care and treatment
such attendance should be paid for
before all the other debts. Such a
law in this country would be hailed
with satisfaction by the doctors, and
q similar provision for the undertakes
would delight that profession.

There is no question but that the
newspapers of any town or city may
be made the most effective possible
agency in its development and pros
perity. The effort and influence OF
either individuals or organizations are
at best but spasmodic and transient
but the newspaper works on steadily
and necessarily. The individual agi.
tator reaches only comparatively
limited field of opportunity-only
those to whom the particular effort
may be extended-but the newspaper
reaches out in every direction and
carries its influence to hosts of un.
known and unsupported watchers oil
opportunities.

CHALLIs MESSENGER: The Custer
mill has again closed down, and how
long it will remain idle is a question
not known. Some think it will start
in month or so, while others place it
at longer period of time. The clos
ing down of the Custer mill and
mines will throw large number of
men out of employment. For seven
years the Obstetrics have had the
pleasure of listening to the dropping
stamps of the Gen. Custer mill, and
their being hung up will make the
camp very quiet. 1t does not seem
possible that these works will be idle
for any length of time, with such a
splendid ore body in sight as the
Lucky Boy now presents. Miners
who have been at work on the Lucky
Boy tell us that it has l6-foot ledge
Of ore that assays from $50 to 800
per ton in gold aud silver.

The guns of the new torpedo boat
Vesuvius were tried near Philadel-
phia on April oath. The adjust
ments of the firing valve, which have
caused considerable delay, had been
satisfactorily made, and it only re-
NAMED to prove that two hundred
pound shell could be thrown to all
ranges inside of one mile and at the
rate of one in two minutes. Three
dummy shells were fred successfully,
the range being little less than one
mile. The fourth shell was differ
ent from those first fired, being a ten
inch sub-caliber hollow cast iron
she'll, weighing 500 pounds. 1t was
placed in the middle gun, and when
that gun was fired, the hollow cast
shell Immediately went to pieces in
the gun. The brcech section of the
gun was badly wrecked and consid-

Heavy Guns and proiectiles.

The heaviest guns now in service
clads Duilio, Italia, Dandolo and Le-
panic, of the Italian navy. Those
vessels each carry four 103-ton guns,
besides bristling secondary battery
of Hctchkiss revolving cannon and
quick firing guns. 1t may be inter
esting to know that these iron-clads
cost between 100000 and s4,800,-
900 apiece. Still our new iron-clads,
the Texas and Maine, are not far be-
hind, since they will cost s3,4O0,OOO
apiece.
The projectiles of the heavy guns
of modern ordnance weigh according
to the caliber of the gun. A projec-
tile for one of the 80-ton guns on the
British war-ship InfexibIe weighs
100 pounds. And yet Krupp can
excel this weight. He has expert
mented with $500 pound projectiles
which are feet 10 inches in length
and 20 inches in diameter. Krupp
has also designed 300-ton gun,
which will be so feet in length, have
q diameter of II inches, weight OF
powder $50 pounds, and projectile
weighing 5000 pounds. The range
of this mass of metal will be twelve
miles. For the l00-ton gun the pro-
jectile weighs $500 pounds, and the
range is nine miles.
