vain in Nevada.

'.No man ever led a more peculiar
career anywhere than Mark Twain did
in Nevada said Hon. 4, Q. Bates, OF
the Sage-brush state, to San Francis
co Examiner reporter,
al remember we'll when. in 1861, he
came TO Carson with his brother, Orion
Clemens, the new secretary Of the Ter
ritory Mark came along. not as a
secretary 10 him as is popularity sup
posed, but as a mere sightseer. Mark
was not disposed TO work, and never
did work to amount TO anything, ex-
cept when he went to the Virginia En-
terprise as a reporter. He put in the
whole Of his first winter looking
around Carson. and the next winter he
went over to Humboldt county and did
some more OF 1t there.
II always held that circumstances
made him. The two best stories he
ever published, and upon which no
made his reputation as a humorist, he
was not the original author OF at all.
These. the jumping Frog Of Calaveras
County and the 'Pie-Biter Of MaripO-
sa, were published years and years
before in Stockton paper by sam
Seabough, the old California editor.
'Seabough was editor OF the Stock
ton Independent, and some miners
came down from Calayeras and told
him about the miners there loading a
frog up with shot And Il was a fact.
In those days the men in those camps
would bet about anything. and ona
day they got to betting how far some
frogs could jump that they had found.
One miner conceived the idea Of filling
one OF the rival frogs with shot.
and he did II, and this frog couldn't
jump.
"Soabough printed this news, which
il was, and il was copied all around.
and long aftcrward IL came out Ia
Mark Twain's book.
I'm like manner tho story Of tho
'Pie-Biter Of Mariposa' was painted by
Seabough. A gang Of mcn had
gathered one night in tho saloon bo-
low Scabough's Office. There was
among them a man with tho awfulsst
mouth you ever saw. II was very big
and curious-looklng. and out Of his
poudcrous lower inv two teeth wcro
missing Somebody came Ia and asked
Scabough 10 90 down and take look
at him. Seabough did 80, and some
body then asked tho man what had
happened 70 his teeth. lilo said ho was
a pie-bitsr from Mariposa, and had
bitten through N many a. thirteen
pies at one time, on several occasions,
but that the last time somebody rune
In a plate on him. aud that was what
did Il.
1T struck Scabough a. an unusually
funny thing. and ho fixed Il up and
published 1t. Years after. a. have
said. after the 'Pic.Biter Of Maripu.a'
had gone the rounds Of tho press. Il

white tramp in the country is very

hands came up and reported a white
man asleep on the roadside. A
dozen of the laborers were summon

spot. He was sure enough white
tramp, and he had stretched out
for a snooze. Each negro cut a

Stewartstown Siftings.

STEW ARTsrowN, Jan. 2S.-Not seeing
anything in your paper lately from our
town and vicinity, we resolved to resume
our place as correspondent, although
Cleveland, Thurman and Reform have
subsidized for awhile, yet this little neck
OF woods still retains some Of Judge
Fleming's honesty and hope to see him
inaugurated Governor next March.
On last Monday Ernie, little son of
Jacob Fowler, aged three or four years,
while standing near the fire, his clothes
caught fire and burned the little fellow
very bad. Under the care of DIR. Bur-
chinal he is getting along very well.
Mai. w. w. John, who was Sc
verely kicked by horse three or four
weeks ago, has recovered so far as to be
able to walk about.
Reuben Robson who received injnries
over two months ago by falling from a
load OF hay is still confined to his room,
but is thought to be improving slowly.
Mrs. John Stewart whose sickness has
been heretofore mentioned in these col
umns is still improving.
Mrs. Corinda Hoard had valuable
horse to die one day last week, disease
unknown.
Quinter Stewart has returned from a
visit at his brothers, j. T. Stewart near
Burton.
G. c. Fowler is spending several days
with friends at Uniontown and other
points.
J. M. Haney is erecting a wagon shop
in connection with his blacksmith
shop.
H. a. Kelley, formerly of Easton, will
be the workman.
Messrs. S. p. and g. w. Weltner have
each purchased new sugar eyaporators,
so We editors may look for jug of fine
maple molasses.
But few removals have yet been re-
ported. We learn that s. G.. Sapp will
move into the house on Keck and -Dille's
farm.
The schools in this vicinity are pro-
crossing finely. Mr.. Echart, at Sunny
Side, gave his scholars a spelling bee
on last Thursday evening, all enjoyed
themselves very much and hope Layton
will favor us with more such good enter
tainments.

level on both sides Of she river, With
q wide area of out-crop and good
natural drainage The coal has been
measured and inspected at many To-
calities along every portion Of this
line, and also OF many of the tribu-
taries of the river The coal is found
between these two points at its max
imum thickness of eight to nine feet,
and in some places exceeding nine
feet.
1.-THE average for this entire basin
accessible from the river may be fair
Iy placed at eight feet Of clean coal,
or say 10000 tons of merchantable
coal to the acre, after allowing for
the usual waste in mining. When it
is stated that more than $4,000 of
this one coal bed is easily accessible
along the waters Of the Upper Mon
ongahela river region, and for the
most part entirely above drainage,
the immense resources Of this coal
field may be appreciated.
"The Pittsburg, or Big Vein, be-
tween Fairmont and Clarksburg,
seems to combine all the most valna-
Bile qualities Of the Pittsburg and
Connellsville beds below the State
line in Pennsylvania. The coke
made.from this bed has good height
and firmness and a bright, silvery
appearance, which makes 1t difficult
to be distinguished from the Con
nellsville coke. 1t is also gas and
fuel coal, equal in quality to the
average of the Pittsburg and Yough-
iogheny basins, and is also a good,
firm shipping coal.
"The growing demand for and
scarcity of coking Goals must render
those of the Upper Monongahela
Basin of great Importance in the i'm
mediate future, as it is the most i'm
portant part of the great Pittsburg
seam now available for development,
and it can at a moderate expense for
transportation facilities be made in
some respects more accessible to
many important markets than even
the Pittsburgh and Connellsville re-
gions.
THE ease with which the Goals of
this region can be mined is not their
least important feature, since they
are generally above the water level
and have good drainage, rendering
shafting and expensive machinery
| unnecessary
I'm the light of analyses and other
facts obtained from investigating
this region the conclusion is justified
that this coal and coke field must
prove one of the most valuable min
eral sections now open to develop
ment."

1t may be confidently relied on
that the slack water improvement in
in our river will not be completed
during the present year if those who
are doing the work can avoid it.
1t is only the known possibility of
completing this year that has given
rise to the belief that it would be
completed. But if there is any
chance to get another appropriation
there is not the slightest chance that
it will be finished.
Ithas been the best nursed job that
was ever undertaken in this section
Of country. 1t has absorbed enough
money to build dams and locks up to
the head of the river. 1t has been
getting appropriations to complete
the work" for the last fifteen years.
It has been, in short, an open and
gigantic swindle.
Heretofore our people have turned
their attention entirely to getting
the appropriations for this work
During the present year would it not
be we'll for US to turn the attention
of the authorities at Washington to
the trifiing and dishonest manner in
which the work has been conducted,
