The Fine Nut Excitement

An old-hme mining craze OF smal scale has been created recently at Pine Nut, in Nevada, and considerable ex citement has been caused in eonse quence. 4 "rush" is said to be ir progress, and miners are hastening tc the district from every direction. The most glowing accounts are published of the alleged existence of lodges and pockets that fall just short of being solid gold. and the stage has already been reached when the moldy phrase "a gecend Comstock" is to be heard. The plain facts, siited from a mass of delusiye verbiage, are that an old pros pector who has been working on a grub stake for eight years has sunk shaft and run q tunnel, winch he keeps carefully closed and will on no account allow any one to inspect. He claims to have taken lot of gold out of il and exhibits few specimens. He can take out 5000 day, if he desires, so he says, but is quite willing to sell out for $50, ,0O0.
 A boarded-up hole in the ground and a handful of nuggets that may have come from anywhere within thousand miles are pretty poor foundation for Q mining excitement, yet those are the salient facts in regard to the Pine Nut diggings. It Is no wonder that the larger portion of those who have hur- ried to the district bear indubitable evidence of belonging to that large class expressiyely. if not euphoniously, designated astender;eet. .-S.

aontrai America Gold Fields.
\ recent dispatch from Granada, (

\ recent dispatch from Granada, Cen. trai America, says: The famous placer mines of Priuzapolka have again start. ed the gold fever throughout Central America. Gold nuggets weighing from six to thirty-eight pounds, 22 karat. fine, were lately found there. A Mica. raguan soldier, stationed at the mines, discovered a nugget weighing eighteen pounds, winch he sold nt Leon for 2,So0 pesos. Senor Cebezza, who has come from the mines, has with him rich specimens of nahyc gold. He says there are numerous pockets discovered in all directions, obviously caused by a volcanic upheayal ol the lower strsss throwing the gold 10 the surface, the excessive heat melting the gold, causing it to flow over the ground like stream of lava. He states that this district. which is near Bluefelds, is destined to become as celebrated as the bonanza mines of California. He is about to send Il2 flores of gold to the United States mint to be converted into United States eagles. Other miners propose doing the same thing. It seems that the land enyironng Prinzapoika for nearly 80 leagues in circumference Is a rich primeyal pasture where numerous wild cattle graze. This breed of cattle origipatcd from thoroughbred stock brought to Jamaica from England and taken to Mosquito coast by the Maroone who escaping West Indian slavery sought aud found a safe refuge here.

Worlds Columbian Expedition.

The Electricity Building, on which work has been started and is going on rapidly, will be completed about De cember 1st. 1891. The demand for space now aggregates something over POO, 000 square feet, and in addition to this there have been received numerous preliminary applications no. defining exactly the amount of space reouired.
 Many Of the applicants for space have given many interesting particulars what they are going to do, also in some cases stating the amount of money appro- priated for their exhibits, and in no single case has this been less than Sa000 SucE figure as this shows the size and scope that electrical peo- pie intend giving to their exhibits.
 It is estimated now thu, with the present space required and that called for in the preliminary applications the latter being made or very mod crate basis, at the time of applying, as the partiee were not informed that the space would be gratis-the entire Elec- tricity building and portion of the Machinery Annex will be completely filled. It is, therefore, highly proba- ble that some means will have to be devised to provide additional space, as the department of electricity will mske determined effort to give every one ample facility.

senator Yes, ou the War and slavery

Senator Vest in speech at Moberly, Mo, recently, said; The great issues of the war were secession and slavery. Rhe war settled these issues for once and forever. The war was inevitable the people of the. South and the people of the North could no more pr6vent it than we could the color of our hair or of our eyes. It descended to us direct ly, as if from the law of heredity. This generation was not responsible for the war. It was inherited from our fors- fathers. Yirginis, when it vas a colo ny of Great Britain, said it did not want slavery, but King George III. said they must have it, He wanted to please the great lords to whom he had given great tracts of land. The More lands and tho Albermarles wanted them to til their vast acres, and New En- gland'soon fell M with the wishes of cid England, when they found they could make money by exchanging New England rum for slaves and selling the slaves to the people of the South, It was remarkable that nothing is said in the Constitution of the United States about slavery, though framed by slave holders. But instead the very slave holders put words in i. which pro- claimed that all men are born free and equal, etc. Slavery was an error that after generations had to atone for and wash out in blood and tears

The following, from the Globe Dem ocrat. IS a sample of the wild tales tele- graphed to the press abroad "Both Indians say that early Thursday morn ing hundreds of volcanoes, thirty miles distant, suddcnly became very active, throwing up quantities of lava and black smoke. The volcanoeacontinued to increase the violence of the upheaval until the noise at distance of thirty miles was simply deafening. The air become progressively heavy and breath ing wos difficult. Many of the infant Cocopah Indians were asphyxiated. Suddenly crash of thunder and flash. ing lightning cleared the atmosphere. Then the river became agitated and arose with rapidity wliich was fright ful Tie Indians hurried buck to their homes. the tidal wave following them on, swallowing their cattle, horses and fields of grain, driving them to the mesa, over 100 feet abopts the bed of the river, and the spray from the an- gry waves even then reached them. Then came the earthquakes, when every man, woman and child was thrown down, many being fatally injured. With cries of terror they tried to arse; but failed. Several perished horribly as they fell into the great Assures in the earth.

fao lereo Earthquake not so had as Res
 ported.

Some meagre details of an earthquake
 in Sonora and Lower California reached
 Yuma ten days ago, but that country is
 SO prolific in shakes and tough yarns
 that little attention was paid to them
 here. It was not long before word was
 sent to San Diego by the Yuma cores pondent of the San Diegan that the
 Colorado river was running into crev-
 ice made by the earthquake. 1t was
 at once telegraphed to San Francisco
 and the two great deilies thore kept the
 wires hot with orders to their cores pondents here to find out what there
 was i'll 1t. The correspondents armed themselves with large assortment of red paint of bright hues and went Co work. Their efforts knocked the well
 known correspondent of the Denver
 News completely in the shade He i simply wasn't ''in it. :"
 From a number If persons who have arrived from Lerdo and also some Co., eopah Indians who have come in from Lower California it has been learned that the temblor of July 30th was very severe. There are only a few white inhabitants on the Lerdo tract and the property 10 damage is slight People and animals were thrown down by the shocks, and some stock was killed A great noise accompanied the shocks and in some places there were thunder storms. One or two small hills and bluffs on the river are reported t0 have been thrown down. Small cracks and crogices opened in the ground. As to the effect on the river the reports are conflicting Nobody has seen fhe arev- ice into which the river was said to be pouring Only about one quarter of the stream is running to the gulf, tho balnBCC going on to the desert The river at Lerdo must therefore be small stream. Some say the water dis appeared for few moments and then came bsck. This IS not improbable, as the same thing happened to Owens river in California during tke grea, earthquake of 1872.
 The shock was undoubtedly much harder in Lower California, west of the Eiyer. The, only reports 50 far have been brought in by Coeopah Indians, and their language seems inadequate to describe the phenomena One thing is certain, the Indians are so scared that there is much doubt whether they viii go back, as they say another and 1 harder shake is ,o come.
 4 tidal wave of considerable height came np the river from tho gnlf The ordinary tides of the Gulf of California are 50 feet, and the highest known tide was B feet These gulf tides are the i third highest in the world. The wave came ID as far as tue colony or about | 70 mllas from the gulf. The time i usually required for the tide to traverse the distance is or 10 hours. Ii is to say whether any lives have been lost or not Three men who f were down the river have not been heard from.
 The Chronicle has organized an cx- petition to explore the county and we may expect to hear something more definite on its return. Yuma Times.
