II is fact not generally known that
there are two varieties OF taratnl in
Arizona and New Mexico. This prob
ably accounts for the conflicting reports
about the deadly nature Of the tarantula
poison. The so-called Texas tarsntula is
by no means an agreeable bedfellow, but
his bite ia by no means fatal. The veno-
nous Texan tsrsntula, in spite Of all dis
cussions to the contrary, does build and
live In the trapdoor spider nest. There
seems to be current idea that the trap
door spider is harmless, which IL certain
iy erroneous. 1t uses no web nest, easily
capturing it's prey by extraordinary
springs.

The Daily News, in its financial article
Of "Wednesday says the continued drain
OF gold from America is grsdully tending
to the universal adoption OF virtual
silver standard. Good crops may succeed
in recovering portion OF the $60, 900 900
Of gold already exported, this year, but
every year brings nearer the time when
silver certificates will be forced into cir
culation. When the change comes there
might be rush for silver, but IL Is more
likely that the silver already coined will
suffice tor currency purposes with paper !;
therefore, the idea of an unlimited new
demand for silver il unwarranted.

The fact that u railroad is TO be built
across the magnificent country which ex
tends for more than 100 miles TO the
southwest Of Yuma, where for the whole
distance there are but very few settlers,
Is bringing that section into prominence.
IL ioes not matter particularly OH which
side OF the boundary line this land il sit
uated, it 10 the same to our Italy OF the
West" All OF that vast valley lying east
Of the main range of mountains is In our
back country. and its trade must and will
come TO Yuma. Those who have never
been and examined that great section,
rich in hundred yarities Of coil, each OF
which 10 good, cannot believe the truth
concerning it. A year or 80 more will
open che eyes OF many in regard to this
great area OF beautiful valley land which
lies adjacent 10, and forms part OF
Ynma's back country ry.--Sentinel.

Thursday morning last on the trail he :
tween Tip Top and Hot Springs, Mr.
Hiram Beck came to his death by what
WAS thought an accidental shot. The
facts are these: He had gone upon the
trail to search for his burros, taking q
rope to tie the animals and TO lead them
to the camp and also his shot gun, ex-
pecting to kill quail and rabbits. His
nephew, Mr.. Clinton Beck, remained AT
camp. The uncle failing To return within
reasonable time, the nephew went in
search OF him. Some three miles from
camp he discovered the body OF his uncle
lying across the trail lifeless. Near by
was the gun which had been discharged,
and by falling became unbreeched. The
rope could not be found. but signs iDdi.
Gated that the unfortunate man had
caught his burros. and in attempting to
mount one to ride back to camp had been
thrown upon the ground, and in falling
the gun became discharged, killing him
instantly. He was a miner, man Of
pleasant address and good manners. His
people live in Melbern, Ohio.--Gszstte.

DIFFERENT KINDS OF GoLD.--" Most
people suppose, "says an assayer, "that all
gold is alike when refined, bat this is not
the case. An experienced man can tell
at glance from what part OF the world a
gold piece comes, and IN some cases from
what part OF particular gold district
the metal was obtained. The Australian
gold, for instance, is distinctly redder
than the California, and this difference
in the color is always perceptible even
when the gold is 1000 fine. Again, the
gold obtained from the placers is yell
lower than that which is taken directly
from the quartz. Why this should be
the case is one of the mysteries OF metal
lurgy, for the placer gold all comes from
the veins. The Ural gold is the reddest
ever found anywhere. Few people know
the real color of gold, as il is seldom seen
unless heavily alloyed, which renders IL
redder than when pure. The p4rest
coins ever made were the $50 pieces that
used to be 30 common in California.
Their coinage was abandoned for two
reasons: First, because the loss OF abra-
sion was 30 great, and, secondly, because
the interior would be bored out and lead
substituted, the difference in weight
being too small to DO readily noticed in
30 large piece. These octagonel coins
were the most valuable ever struck. -

A special TO the Tribune from Boulder,
Colorado, says that Fred Albright has
found the lost vein which for twenty years
has been sought for in vain. 1t was lo-
located in Poneroy mountain, two miles
northwest of Caribou. The strike consists
OF six inch vein of almost solid silver,
and the creyice is four feet vide, good
ald strong. Rich float In large pieces
has been found which ran $1,000 ounces
OF silver to the ton. but as the mountain
ia this vicinity is covered by forty-foot
slide, IL was impossible 10 locate the vein,
although thousands OF dollars has been
spent in the search. Ore from this chute
will run from $4,000 to $4,000 ton In
value, and 1t is 30 pure that il cuts with
a knife like lead. There Is no question
as TO this being the long lost lead, and IL
is the only silver glance mine in the dis
trict. Albright has made this discovery
his life work, ana recently commenced
drifting on cross-cut tunnel, which was
abandoned two years ago by miners
looking for the same lead. After drifting
about eight feet more the ore chute was
found. Caribou 10 wild over this immense
find and mining has received an impetus
as never before.

OFFICIAL PAPER or the COUNTY.

IL Is very generally known that large
quantities OF silver are annually hidden
away In India, but il is not SO we'll known
that more lately they have been laying
away gold there. An English writer
says that considerable part of all the
gold that goes TO India never returns.
Having been obtained in the west by the
sale OF exported productions, it is retained
in the east as realized profits, wealth
stored up, and, TO moderate extent, for
use in the arts; for the rest, as repre-
sentative Of value on the credit oil which
traders buy and sell with the bills OF
exchange they issue and the book credits
they open, and settle up the differences
with the silver money OF the country.
But the vast stock OF gold accumulated
there undergoes no diminution; there is
no ebb and flow under the reciprocal
action which commerce enforces In the
case OF countries trading together on q
common metallic basis. The three mil
lion sterling or thereabout of gold bullion
which India annually adds TO her store
are, under the monetary Law OF that
country, just as much lost to the nations
Of the west, by being Withdrawn from the
general commerce OF the world, as il the
money had been lent TO a South Ameri.
