For nearly q quarter OF century
two tall towers have stood at the foot

other reaches moro than fifty feet In

and thick and they have brick enough
In them to construct several buildings
They are relics OF the flush old
days of the Comstock mining era
when Flood. O'Rrien. Fair and others
banded together and erected tho
famous Selby smelling and refining
works. There. from the bonanza
days OF 1868 TO as late as 1885. the
great chimneys belohed forth fire and
smoke. They never stopped. Wreaths
OF flame and volumes OF SCOT circled
in the air over the domes at night

and about the works carting and
shoveling orc and Stag. molding bars

In 1885 Selby county concluded to
move its works. 1t was known that
the old underground flue that con-
nected the furnaces with the chimneys
as we'll as considerable of the ground
all about was permeated with gold
and silver settings and solid metal.
On the advice OF a European expert the
company dug up the ruins. as we'll as
large amount Of soil, to the depth OF
five or six feet and transferred It by
tons to the new works ut Port Costa
There the stuff was run through the
works and it is said. realized not less
than $500. 900.
Selby & Co. did not dream that In
tho towers which were left standing
and In the million tons OF Stag and
mineral permeated soil much wealth
remained. They accordingly aban-
doned the place. The ground was
sold and nothing was thought about 1t
for a long time
Some time ago w. b. Cluff. the
we'll Unknown merchant and politician OF
this city, acquired the ground on
which the old works and the present
Stag pile and chimneys remain. 1t
consists of five fifty-vara lots or two
aud quarter acres. Meantime he
had several experts make examine
tions OF the brick towers and the sur
roundings. They reported that the
metal and black dust OF the towers
was veritable mine OF wealth and
that the grimy matter that filed the
interstices and in one form or another
permeated the brick reeked with val
liable minerals Also that the gray
Stag which had been carted away from
the blazing furnaces in primitive days
contained large quantities Of gold and
silver and should be worked over.
Promptly thereupon Mr.. Clutf secured
the silver and gold lined towers and
the debris. He is said to have paid
$40. 600 for the chimneys alone. His
object is to work them up and get the
money out Of them.

Then 1t was case OF life and death
and the keeper set to work in hurry.
He built big fire in the elephant

wrapped them around Queen.
Another man put 100 pounds OF
strong English mustard into a barrel
and mixed it with water. like any
other mustard plaster. The mustard
was then smeared on q cloth and the
monstrous p!asters applied to Queens
side.
Soon her ladyship showed signs OF
uneasiness She felt along her sides
with her trunk. stopped about con-
stantly and seemed to wonder what
was the matter. AS the mustard took
hold more severely Queen tried to tear
away the bandages and when jagged
by the keepers hook she began scream
ing like q steam whistle.
The plasters were left in position
for three hours and then removed and
Queen again wrapped in hot blankets
and dosed with whisky and quinine.
After awhile she began TO perspire as
elephants do. through the trunk and
her keeper knew that she was saved.

shine came; and when, one day, Capt.
Ezekiel Midget was seen sitting on a
wooden milking stool, smoking his
pipe, in front of the open door, the
neighborhood oil opened. their eyes.
."Jest come back from the east"
said Deacon Robbins.
"Been alvin with pashas and ef-
fendis," said John jerks, who had
once heard n lecture on the east.

Don't look much like it," said
shrewd Mr.. Munday. "He's got on

ed to signify; and there tt'nly amt
been no attempt to mend the broken
fences, nor patch up the stun walls

Capt. Midget had commanded the
Nancy Belle, fishing schooner which
cruised from Maine to Florida, and
during one of his voyages he had fall
en- in with the captain of a Turkish
vessel, and allowed himself to be
tempted into the far regions of the
golden east.
After that all record ceased, except
that nov and then ruinor fioated
back ofthe captains having been seen
by stray travellers, seated cross-leg-
ged on n cushion, smoking prodi-
gious chibouque, in the companion
ship of turbaned dignitaries and
salaaming slaves!
But of all this the captain would
bear no testimony.

said Mrs. Ostrom. "And Nathan
would just rs lief come down and live

A sharp attack of genuine Connec-
ticut rheumatism accumulated Mrs.
Ostrom's advice, and Capt. Ezekiel
made no further objection to the
plan.
"Lucy's n good creetur'," said he.

"Uncle, is - true?' Mrs. Ostrom
asked, one day.

dry rejoinder.

"What are you going to do with

Capt. Ezekiel screwed up his face.

The fame of the begum's shawl
spread all through the place. Every

to make IN regard to it. Not soul

Not Complimentary.

A certain Mrs. Malaprop, VINO
lives in large eastern city, is noted
for her skill in unconsciously embar-
RAISING other people, while she her
self remains perfectly at ease. Not
long ago she was introduced to two
sisters, young ladies who had long
been known to her by name, though
she had never met them.
"Now, my dears, she said, address
ing them collectively, with herusual
bland smile, and regarding them
earnestly through her glasses, 81 have
often heard OF the bright and
the handsome Miss Radcliffe. Now.
/ am 80 glad to meet you both,
and l want you to tell me at once
which of you is the bright and which
the handsome one!"
On another occasion she was dining
with her nephew and his young wife,
who had just set up housekeeping.
The dinner did not go of quite SO
smoothly as the young couple had
hoped, and the cooking was by no
means perfect. The hostess unwisely
began to murmur apologies, and her
husband joined in, half-laughing, with
references to his wifs's youth and in
experience.
Don't say another word, my dear
children" interrupted their kind
hearted guest. II can assure you I've
eaten great deal worse dinners than
this In the course OF my life; great
deal worse. Yes" she added, medita-
lively, "I've eaten some pretty bad
dinners. you may be sure!"
