How A Prospector Lost A Fortune.

As a rule prospectors fully realize the imperative necessity of frequent assays but at times those who have not long been engaged in the business rely upon the appearance of the ore and estimate it's character and value by the eye. Nothing in nature is more deceptive than mineral, in fact as a rule the beautiful specimens glittering with crystals and o f varied hue are not distinguished by their value. Upon the contrary the rusty dingy looking minerals are those that generally contain the greatest portion of silver As we write this article we we have upon our table be- fore us a sombre specimen from the St. Patrick mine of Nogales not larger than the fist, that contsins not less than SIS in silver, and quite near it splendid looking specimen of quartz permeated throughout with cubes of galena, zinc, sulphide of iron sulphide and variegated copper,in fact the latter specimen Is a thing oi beauty, but it only carries two ounces of silver per ton. These two speci mems, so different in appearance and value, remind us of prospector who in 1882, was engaged in prospecting By accident one day he stumbled upon wide cropping of dark gray ore tc which he gave no further attention not being favorably impressed witt its appearance. Shortly afterwards s more prudent companion had some O. this vein matter submitted to determi nation, without revealing the result tC others. He made location on tht claim, and before the close of 1884 tht property had yielded over $3,OOO,OO0
 We venture the remark that if one half the money that, since 1880 has been squandered in whiskey hac been devoted in the southwest to as saying, New Mexico and Arizon' would have double the number of pro ducers. Mineral is much like woman you cannot judge of the merits o either by appearances and not to b partial we will add that mans posi- ton in society cannot be gauged b. the cut of his coat or color of his neck tie.-El Paso Bullion.

IRRIGATION AND RAIN.
The Necessity of Artificial Watering in
 Spite OfHeavy Rainfall.

In commenting on Gen. Greeley's American Weather" the San Fran cisco Call says that the author evi- dently shares the notion of certain popular writers that irrigation is only required when the atmospheric pre- cipitation falls below a given number of inches. But the necessity for irri- gation only occasionally depends on the rainfall. In some countries, which would be deserts but for irrigation, there is quite heavy rainfall. Lom- bardy, which has been irrigated for thousand years, has some twenty-five inches-six inches more than Sacra- mento; there are twenty-two inches on the average in the department of the Bouches du Rhone, where every field is irrigated; some of the oldest irrigation works in Spain are in 8 region where the rainfall exceeds twenty inches; back of Madras, in h. dia, where every pound of grain is raised by means of irrigation, the an- nual precipitation is nearly fifty in ches.
 Rain unless it falls at regular in tervals and in moderate quantities at a time, says the Railway Age, is but little help to agriculture. At Madras, where twenty-four inches sometimes falls in single storm, it is nuisance to the farmer. What the earth wants to bring forth its increase is steady, uniform supply of water in small quantities throughout the season, when plants are growing and fruit is filling out. This is attained ln the eastern states and in northern Europe by a rainfall which, in the aggregate, is excessive, but which in the average is we'll distributed through the grow ing season. It Is not attained in the country west of Missouri, even in places where there is considerable rainfall, because the precipitation is not distributed and does not come at the precise time when it is needed.
 There is no part of California where the people are more in earnest about irrigation than in northern Colusa county, where they have an annual rainfall of thirty inches. Gen. Gfeely will find if he inquiries of the intelli gent gentlemen who represent his bureau in this state, that there are two classes of lands requiring irriga ton here-one, lands which will yield crops without irrigation, but which will double their yield under the in fiuence of regular supply of water say, cubic foot per second to l5l acres-during the growing season; the other, desert lands, which will yiel6 nothing at all without an artificial supply of water, either from a system of irrigation works or artesian wells.

MIND RrADEa HhowN.



The New York Sua OF Sunday has the
following report Of performance by J
Randall Brown, who gave the mino
reading entertainment in the Wesleyan
Female College, this city, in the spring
Of 1877, aud WHO is credited with having
in 1875, read through the medium OF q
telegraph wire In the Wilmington Off 70
a number thought OF by Pennsylyan'a
governor at the Philadelphia end
Mind.reader j. Randall Brown, who
created something Of Juror 10 years
ago in this city, and both preceded and
introduced Washington Irving Bishop,
sepeared last night at ths Biiou Theatre.
81 successfully did tricks Of the familiar
kind. man hid an old coin under the
right foot of . lady ia the audience =
rather the man took II TO the lady and
put it in her hand, aai she put it under
her fOo.--And then Brown, blindtolded,
found ii by contact with the man who
had hid it. The lady was dressed in red,
and while Brown was hunting for the
coin she blushed redder than her gown.
Mr.. Brown picked out man that an.
other man had thought of and won't over
q uirouitous route through the orchestra
and balcony and into the boxes accord
ing to plan secretly decided upon by
tue committee and by q subject whose
thought Brown followed. An interesting
trick was one in 'mentsl photography. y
A man in the audience was asked by the
committee to think OF some individual in
the house. Mr.. Brown took the thinkers
hand and sourriAd up and down the
aisles stopping here and there. He was
blindtolded and the running around took
abont five minutes. Then he and the
thinker mounted the platform and Brown
still blinded, deacribed the features OF
the man about whom the thinker had
been thinking. Then taking the bAndage
from his eyes he went down to the
orchestra chairs and picked out young
man in row q. The thinker said that
that was the person of whose face he had
been thinking and thereat the audience
applauded loudly.
The we'll known mock murder test was
performed with success. The last trick
was Browns reading through long wire
q number that man holding tho wire
was thinking OF. The wire reached
from the balcony to the stage. The
figures the thinker had taken wers those
of the number Of his watch, 1884. The
msn in the balcony aud Brown each had
the wire touching hun on the forehead.
