Wonderful Strike of Gold Reported
in the Great Sheridan Tunnel.

A telegram received from Telluride, Col.
says: Telluride is ablaze with excitement
Flags are flying, men cheering. and every
body is off for grand holiday. The great
Sherman tunnel has struck the vein and de-
veloped a large body of ore of very high
grade. The tunnel was commenced In No
Vember, 1887, and has been run $500 feet at
q cost of nearly $500, 900.
Manager Waters says that calculating on
a basis of what the mine has done in the
past, this strike puts SIS, 000. 900 in sight.
The ore struck by the tunnel carries brittle
silver and copper, and runs high in gold.
There is no such mine in the world. The
vein is owned by the Sheridan Company for
5000 feet linear on the surface It has been
developed the entire distance and has pro-
duced nine-tenths of the output of San Mi
gueI County for the past eight years.

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.
News About the Various De.
partments at Washington.
Secretary Window Lectures the
Worlds Fair Commission.

Secretary of the Treasury Window. has
sent long communication to the Executive
Committee of the National Worlds Fair
Commission in Chicago calling attention to
the lavish expenditures for salaries of Off
GERS and expense of the committees. He ad-
vIses- curtailment in every possible way if
the commission expects to get through the
year without large deficiency
The Secretary. states that of the 81 500
OOO appropriated, $4OO,O 600 must be used in
the construction of a Government building,
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1891, there is
appropriated $4,000 for the expenses
of the commission and the uses of
the Government Board OF Control.
TIE Government Board has estimated that
it will need $50 600 leaving $50 900 for the
commission. The Secretar," then shows
that in salaries FOR officers and other ex-
penses the commission has disposed of
$4,000 OF this $50, 600, leaving only $40, 900
for expenses for the rest of the year.
The Secretary concludes by calling atten-
ton to the fact that the salary list for the
next three years of officers and employees al
ready appointed amounts to one-seventh OF
the entire amount fixed as the limit of ex-
penditure, and he reluctantly approves the
sections OF the bylaws providing for these
salaries, with the caution that great care be
used in making further expenditures.
President Palmer said, in reference to the
report, that he would give up his salary and
that, II the commissioners did some cheese
pairing, Congress might get ashamed and
grant another appropriation. In the mean
time the work would be done by bureaus.
The national commission would direct the
enterprise and the local board foot the bills.

the manufacture of the Whitehead auto
mobile torpedo in this country the Navy De-

rather curious reason that they LASTED

We remember hearing q matron OF the
olden times tell story OF the two boys
of one Of their neighbors. They had
begged OF thoir mother that they might
lay aside their leather trousers and hav
pair made OF domestic cloth; bat 3
their entresties were IN vain. She
would girs them no other encourar~-

leather vas worn out they should IA
psir OF homespun.
They endured for long tine tbe vev-
