Mining statistics wan,ed.

Sheriff O'Neill has sent the following
circular TO miners of the county:
SIR:-Having been appointed special
| agent of the Census office for the col
| lection of the statistics relating to gold
| and silver mines in Yavapai-county,
pr, sent you blank in which you will
find certain questions on this subject,
which trust you will take the time
| and pains to answer as fully and COM
pletely as possible. Ia urging you TO
do this, can only call your stteation
to the necessity OF every man having
the mining interests of the county at
heart to DO al he can to give the werld
as full insight into eur great mineral
wealth as possible. On its mines Yava-
pal county must rely for its prosperity.
They constitute the foundation on
which every other industry in the
county must rest. To develop them
capital must be secured; to secure CAPT
tai, we must show what is and has been
done in the past, and thereby demon
strate what, with meney, can be done
in the future. No better means or
methed was ever presented 20 do this
than through the present census The
facts and figures that you furnish will
be published and given to the world
under the authority and direction Of
the Nation itself, and will 60 directly
into the hands OF the men who control
the mining capital of the world, aud on
the impression made on them by the
returns of Yavlps county, as COM
pared with other sections, will depend
what consideration cur mines will re-
ceive at their hands. II We show a
small production of gold and silver,
and lack of interest in our mining in
dustry generally, We will be passed over
for sections that make a better show
ing. 1t remains with you and your
fellow miners. OF Yayapai county to say
which il shsll be, SO "get in" and rustic.
II you cannst 6ll the blank like
Heidelburg professor, do it as we'll as
well as you can. Only get move on
yourself, and make an effort, and as the
returns have to all be in by July LIST,
the sooner you do so the better.
Hoping 10 hear from you at once,
am, sincerely, yours, w. o. 0'NErLL.

THE sANDALwooD BUDDHA.
Of the Astor library and Col. Robert q.
Ingersoll. 1t represents the god in al
attitude of contemplation under the Bo
tree on a pedestal formed by the coils Of
a serpent. This is said to be symbolical
of the subjugation Of the principle Of
evil. MI. Oppenheimer gives the follow
ing as the history of the statue:
IAN Alsatian traveller, while on the
island Of Ceylon about ten years ago, en-
tered one of the many temples Of Budd-
hism there and secured this statue OF
Buddha. 1t stood in a niche in a some
what obscure corner Of the temple, and
at a favorable opportunity, when the at
tendants were not looking, the Alsatian
quickly removed the statuette from its
resting place and concealed 1t beneath
the folds Of his coat. The larceny was
committed at the peril of the travellers
life. Had detection followed, the Alsa-
tan would have been put to death in a
cauldron of boiling oil, that being the
penalty for the mutilation or surrepti.
tious removal of Buddhist idols. The
Alsatian, however, escaped, and subse.
quently presented the idol, together with
other ~curiosities Of Asiatic origin, to hii
sister, . Mrs. 8. Friedemann, then living
in Zurich, Switzerland. From the Friede
mann family 1t passed into my hands
During the five years that I have had the
statuette I have submitted 1t to a mum.

nounced it a genuine bit Of ancient OH
entail carving, and have expressed M

He Sang Of "Home, Sweet Home."
Everybody has heard the beautiful
song Home, Sweet Home" and nearly
everybody knows that it was written by
John Howard Payne, an American Of
genius who had no permanent abiding
place, and knew little Of the home joys
he so touchingly celebrated in verse.
For this reason the letter given below is
Of general interest. It is one of q num-
her recently found in an old cedar chest

time. The letter is dated Oct. 90, 184e,
is addressed to q Baltimore lady and
reads:
