ARSENIC AND AMMONIA.
Remarkable Contrast in the Effect of
Two POisOns ON the Complexion.

The slow absorption of many
poisons changes in some more or
less modified form the complexion,
but arsenic and ammonia show their
effect about as quickly as any. The
popular belief that arsenic clears
the complexion has led many silly
women to kill themselves with it in
small, continued doses.
1t produces a waxy, ivory-like
appearance of the skin during a
certain stage of the poisoning, but
its terrible after effects have become
too we'll known to make it of COM
mon use as cosmetic.
The effects of ammonia upon the
complexion are directly opposite to
that of arsenic. The first symptom
of ammonia poisoning which ap-
pears among those who work in am
monia factories is discoloration of
the skin of the nose and forehead.
This gradual extends over the face
until the complexion has stained,
blotched, and unsightly appearance.
With people who take ammonia in
to their systems in smaller doses, as
with their water or food, these strik-
ing symptoms do not appear so soon.
The only effect of the poison that is
visible for a time is a general un-
wholesomeness and sallowness of
the complexion.
Many people are slowly absorbing
ammonia poison without knowing it.
The use of ammonia in the manu-
features has greatly increased of
late, and it is unquestionably used
as an adulterant in certain food
preparations. Official analysis have
plainly shown its use even in such
cheap articles of every day con-
sumption as baking powders. The
continued absorption of ammonia
in even minute quantities as an
adulterant in food is injurious not
merely from its effect upon the COM
plexion, but because it destroys the
coating of the stomach and causes
dyspepsia and kindred evils.
Professor Long of Chicago is
authority for the statement that,
if to fifty million parts of water
there is one part of ammonia, the
water is dangerous.

Mason Valley BoOming.

The people of Mason Valley are
displaying a sagacity and energy in
the matter of developing industries
and institutions within the commu-
nifty that are bound to push the val
ley into the front ranks of progress
sive boroughs. The latest move in
the onward march is the proposition
to establish a first-class Academy.
A movement better calculated to
advance the interests of the valley
or one more indicative of prosperity
would be hard to find that the de-
sire and the ability to increase in
tellectual activity and extend educa-
tional advantages.

"A smart Dog.

Bill Slingerland, who is hauling
wood from FL Dorado canyon, has
a shepherd dog that performed re-
markable feat last week. While
driving up the canyon last week Mr..
Slingerland saw in the road some
distance before him a very large
bird. He set the dog upon it and
before the bird could raise high
enough to get out of the way the
dog caught it. 1t proved to be a
large eagle, and the dog and bird
fought savagely until Slingerland
came up and dispatched the latter.
The bird measured 6 feet and 6
inches from tip to tip of its wings,
and was sold to a Chinaman for
$3.50, baked eagle being considered
a delicacy by the heather Chinee.

George M. Beatty, who was shot
by w. w. Booth on the oath of last
June in Candelaria, died in San
Francisco last week Friday. He
died from the effects of a surgical
operation for an aneurism of the
femeral artery, which was caused
by the bullet which entered the
right groin, rupturing the outside
coating Of the artery. He was a
native of Dublin, Ireland, and aged
about 2S years.
Since the above was put in type
it appears that there is some doubt
about the death of Beatty. 1t is
reported that he sailed for his home
in Dublin without having an opera
ton performed. He refused to pros
ecute Booth, and by some it is
thought that he is really dead, but
circulated before his death the story
about going to Dublin to assist the
man who shot him, and against
whom public feeling is very strong.

Nevada Tobacco.

We were made a present of a pa
per of Nevada grown tobacco this
week. The weed was raised by Mrs.
Morrison on her little ranch between
here and Silver City. The plants
grew to be about four feet in heighth
and the leaves on them are immense.
The tobacco had no curing but is
smoked just as it comes from the
dried leaf crumbled up. 1t has a
very fine flavor in pipe but is not
strong enough for the average smok-
er. If Tobacco can be cured in our
climate we do not see why a tobacco
crop would not be a profitable thing
for some of our farmers to raise.

Fell i'm the Ditch.

Last evening a couple of Cornish
men from Virginia drove into town
and into Barton'sstable, where they
tried to do circus business with the
pony and cart that they'drove: The
stable man had some words with
them and finally they left and be-
gan to sample the beer about town.
1t was not long before the schooners
overbalanced them, and in this con-
diticn they drove into the Rock
Point race near Mr.. Pursley's place.
The larger of the two men was
thrown into the water and soaked
from head to foot, while the smaller
one fell on the land. After this ac-
cident the latter went to bed and the
former took a drink of whisky or
two to warm up on. It was not
long before he was in fit condition
to lick any man on earth, and he
thus declared himself. After roam
ing about until nearly midnight he
managed to fall through the large
glass door in the Odeon building,
and he was then arrested by Deputy
Dreyfuss and landed in Jail. The
horse and cart were taken care of at
Shaw's.

returned to Dayton last Sunday with
her son George. The lady is suffer

not expect that she can live this

cisco, came up with her last Sunday.

A Duel at the Dusap.

The Douglass Mill Co., is building
large dump to hold tailings on the
reservoir below Sutro. The first of
this week Chinaman and Antoine
Rose, a Portuguese, employed in
scraping tailings on the reservoir
had misunderstanding about some
trivial matter, and they agreed to
fight to a finish. The weapons used
were long handled shovels, and the
way in which they clashed showed
that neither of them are novices in
the art of welding these weapons of
warfare. Several rounds were
fought, and the combatants were
just getting in some good work when
the boss came along and called time.
The numbering of the American
language was the only damage done.

High Wind.

Last Saturday a terrific wind
storm visited the lower end of Ma

to the Lovejoy estate was blown
partly onto the G. & c. railroad

place, was engaged this week to go
out to Wabuska and make repairs
on the structure. The damage was
not large.

A Sinking Trick.

The first of this week several Of
the employees of the Douglass mill
were engaged in moving an old vault
that it was necessary to dispose of.
A Chinaman was one of those en-
ployed in the work, and by some
means or other he fell into the vault.
He says it was the fault of one of the
white men, and that he was pushed
into the vault, but the boys say it
was his own clumsincss that caused
the mishap.

ago the. Assessor of this county
raised the companys property in

worth. The Company came back at

the assessment reduced to the figures
made by itself by threatening to
raise the water rates in Silver City.
This year the Company was raised

proposes to raise the price of water
