Railroad News.

+. J. Robinson, resident engineer OF
the b. & NJ. line, was in the city yester-
day with his crew, measuring in the
tracks on River avenue. The graders
are at work all along the line and by
July l5it is expected to have the train
running into Hot springs.--star.
A. w. Gere, of this place, departed for
Merino. Wyoming, on Saturday, to join
a B. G. NJ. party going out on a two
months tour of observation in the north
west. The party goes out under the di'
rection of resident engineer M. w. En-
sign, and it is believed that 1t Is the
object to look up favorable route to
the pacific coast. The party, four in all,
were to leave Merino on Monday, and
are expected TO be out about ninety
days.
Arrangements were this week per-
fected for the building of union pas
senger Gepot on the lot almost imme-
diately in front Of Roots drug store.
The railway grade at that point will be
thrown over into the creek several feet
thus making more room. IL Is the in.
tention TO commence the construction OF
this depot building within short time
and when completed the B. & NJ, will
have built to the city and consequently
trains over both roads will arrive and
depart from this depot. 1t is the inten'
ton of the b. & NJ. people to maintain q
seperate depot, both passenger and
freight on grounds already selected south
of the plunge bath house.

Mining Items.

Charles Monroe. Hill City tin miner,
formerly resident of this place, passed
through on Tuesday with small party
Of prospectors from Hill City, with q
complete prospecting outfit en- route for
point, near BakerviIle, about twelve
miles south east Of this city, where they
will search for silver galore upon lo-
cation previously made by one of .he
party and where fair surface indications
would seem TO warrant further develop
ment. The CHRoSicLE hopes they
may strike 1t rich.
THE SILVER CAMP.
Reports from the Squaw Creek Silver
camp are still of the most favorable
character. The shipment of the ore is
being continued, which fact alone, not
withstanding the disposition of the
owners to keep the public in ignorance
as to value of the product, may be &C
cepted as conclusive evidence of its pay
ing character. New discoveries have
recently been made near the original
find which show palable indications OF
value, among which, the Nickle Plate, a
well defined lode, carrying large quanti-
ties Of galena, and discovered by Cyrus
Cole half mile north of the Spokane is
most prominent, and is believed to have
much merit. The ore is white quartz
and shows galena in quantity, and gold
visible to the eye without the aid Of a
magnifying glass. Two claims adjoin.
ing the Nickle Plate, owned by Messrs
King, Mckee, McMullen and Tarbox
also contain ore corresponding j..
quantity and quality. Work is beina
continued in the drifts in the Spokane
where the orc is reported richer than
that found in the shaft, which is being
shipped out at the rate of three cars
per week.

FAMILIAR SAYINGS.

Some Of Them Traced Back to the Writ
ers Of Ancient Times.
After all, the newest authors are the
Oldest In this new edition Granular
Quetshens'1 we have familiar sayings
traced away back to Greece and Egypt
A new author by the name of Pilpay
figures in this edition. He was Brah
min, and he lived several centuries be-
fore Christ. Writing in some early dia-
lect Of Sanscrit, he deliberately, and
with the most horrible heather deprav-
itv. stole some of the best sayings of
Herrick, Shakespeare. Butler. Cibber
and others. He was bold enough to APP
propriate such modern sayings as What
is bred in the bone will come out Of the
hesh." Possession is the strongest
tenure of the law" and SO on. Hesiod,
who wrote in the seventh century be-
fore Christ, was another of those an
tique plagiarists. Theognis, Eschylus.
Sophocles, Euripides, Plautus, Terence.
and many others were great suppliers
of modern familiar quotations Every
time you say: Hence these tears" 1.-THE
flower Of youth" II do not care one
straw" with presence of mind" or
any one of several other things equally
familiar, you are simply quoting Ter
ence, who died one hundred and fifty
nine years before Christ. All the way
through he is as modern as Mr.. Howens.
Here is one of his sayings, and after it
is quoted nothing more need be said:
"In fine, nothing is said now that has
not been said before"

"A Fruit That Cannot Ise Dlstin suished
from the Product of the Hen.

"A Fruit That Cannot Ise D1stin s,uiShed
from the Product of the ucn.
Among the many curious things in
the plant world, such as flowers that
eat flies, the Holy Ghost plant, that
bears white dove in its petals, and
others equally interesting. there is none
more curious than the solanum gatat-
rum, recent addition to Golden Gate
park conservatory. says the San Fran
cisco inquirer.
This plant bears hard boiled eggs for
fruit. At least the fruit resembles a
hard boiled egg with the shell taken Off,
as nearly as a truly egg can.
There are three eggs on the par K
plant-one as large as 4 pigeons egg,
another the size of a turkeys product
and the third is about five and a half
inches long by two and half wide In
color they are identical to the blush
white of the cooked article of hen pro-
duction. The laying plant was the
great object of attraction in the coEserv-
atory and groups Of people stood
before it all day, wondering what it
was and whether the fruit was good
to eat.
Gardener Monroe received it about a
month ago from Mr.. Silverine, of Ben
icia. The plant belongs to the solanum
family, in which are included the po-
tato, the tomato and the deadly night
| shade. 1t is first cousin to the purple
egg plant, an article of food extensively
sold in San Francisco markets, and is
equally as palatable and nutritious.
| The blossom is small, of rich purple
hue and when the flower drops off a lit
tie white egg is seen. This grows to
about the size of its cousin, the pear
shaped eggplant of commerce But the
white variety preserves its perfect egg
shape in all stages of its Development.
| It thrives in the open air wherever
the purple plant grows. and IS cult
waited in the same way. Another varl-
ETY. of the same family bears a golden
yellow fruit, but the white variety is
| the only one in which the fruit is of the
ovoid form.
| When pressed between the fingers the
white fruit is found to possess the same
soft. elastic feeling as hard-boiled egg
| The interior is filed with cells and
small seeds. like the purple plant or the
/ tomato. 20
Aside from its utility as an article OF
] food it is priced for itsrarity and beauty
The plant stands about two feet high
and has broad, soft. oval leaves of dark
green. o

INDIAN summer is here with all it's
charm of yellow sunlight. still air and
hazy skies. 1t is the fifth season of the
year and by far the most delightful.
Nature puts on her brilliant hues of
red, yellow, scarlet and vermillion, and
a great blaze Of beauty bursts over all
the land before the dull dead winter
transforms the beauteous tints to dark
and somber shades. These are dreamy
days and days Of day dreams. In all
science the wonder has never been ex-
planned and the bazv, lazy charm Of In
dian summer is mystery. Railways
comes in the last days of October OF
the first days of November. but no man
knoweth the cause of its coming. The
early colonists of America thought the
haze to be smoke from the great prairie
fires started py the Indians, and hence
the name Indian summer.-Ellsworth

According to the latest advices the
production of rain by artificial means
is going on in India as well as in the
United States. The collector of Cud
