THE BIG BONANZA MINE.
A Smoking Hole I'm the Ground Out Of
Which Mackay Took $50. OOO, 900.

A Smoking Hole i'm the Ground Out Of
Which Mackay Took $50. OOOy 900.
I was strolling with Mackay some
years ago in Virginia City, when we
looked down a smoking cavity in the
ground that was soon lost in the dark
ness, and at the mouth of which wind
lass was slowly grinding. ''Out Of that
hole" he said, II took $3.50, OOO, 900 in
bullion" This was one of the famous
Bonanza mines, whose history all men
know. The Big Bonanza, as it was
called, and as Mackay described it to me
at the time, was a kidney" or a
''pocket" of crude ore, about as high as
the steeple of Trinity and in area as
large as the City Hall park of New York.
This ore, shoveled out and reduced,
gave the stupendous yield to which Mr..
Mackay referred, and was the founda-
ton of the Bonanza fortunes.
Associated with him were three other
gentlemen, whose names were to win a
worldwide mining fame-James G. Fair,
afterward senator from Nevada, whose
skill as mining expert had attracted
the attention of Mackay; William
O'Brien, and James e. Flood. O'Brien
and Flood had come to California as
friends in the Argonaut days, and had
like other men taken their humble parts
in the creation of the Pacific states. In
those times men who were to be major
generals in the army drove drays for a
living. Others who were to become
luminous in craftsmanship and juris-
prudence joyfully mended their own
trousers and washed their own linen.
They were partners" term that
Bret Harte has pathetically explained
i'll one of his exquisite stories. part
ners,' that is to say, friends, with a
friendship such as we who live outside
of the atmosphere of adventure which
hfolded the Argonaut days cannot I'M
derstand, and which would be but
vaguely explained if we compared it to
the love of man and woman.
Chilly was my partner once" as Mr..
Flood said to me one day in Menlo,
while we were looking at the portrait of
O'Brien; BILLY was my partner once.
He is my partner now, will be my part
ner forever"-a speech which made
deep impression, coming as it did from
the lips of one of the most resolute, self
restrained and undemonstrative of men.
Flood was the financial represer .ative
and the ally of the two young miners
who were at work on tho Bonanza;
O'Brien, the partner" in the firm, be-
cause Flood could have no interest he
did not share.
O'Brien passed away in Bonanza
times-Flood not many months since, in
Germany. He was brave, independ-
ent, reserved, conscientious man, es-
pecially charming and true in the higher
relations of life-no better citizen, no
truer friend-"in all that goes toward
the true development of manhood, the
best man have ever known" as Mackay
said to me when the hour of irrevocable
silence had fallen. 81 know only one
man in the world that can break me,
and that is Mackay." This Flood said
to me and note it as showing the strong
links which in those days bound the
Bonanza firm and gave it a strength
and confidence which were the basis
of it's power.-John Russell Young in
Munsey's Magazine.

A Sweet Revenge.
Haven't you got anything solid to eats'
said traveller, discontentedly cycling the
profusion of pies and small cakes ON the
counter Of a restaurant at one of the way
stations.
''Sball give you some beans?" said the
proprietor, with his most persuasive smile.
The traveller assented, and making short
work of them asked, "How muchS"
TWENTY-FIVE cents" was the bland re-
spouse.
What" cried the traveller; twenty five
cents for spoonful of cold beanss'
The proprietor continuing firm in his
price, the man paid it and departed.
But late that afternoon a telegram was
handed to the restaurant keeper, for which
he paid twenty-five cents. 1t ran thus:
Don't you think your price little high on
beans? TRAVELLER.

THE WEEK IN THE MARKET.

Inspector Desvergers Recommends q
Change in the Market Regulations.
Inspector Desvergers Of the Citizens
Sanitary Association, In his report of In
spectious for the week ending last night,
says that dressed meats of all kinds made
poor average in quality. Poultry, both
dressed and alive, made good average, as
did fish, crabs, clans and prawn. Green
fruits. such as melons, canteloups, bananas,
pineapples, peaches, aprioots, pluns, cher
ries and berries, made good average.
The inspector says the municipal regula-
ton which prevents the delivery of market
produce to families ON Sundays during the
hot months is a grievous hardship. In view
of the fact that fresh meats, dressed poultry
and fish cannot be carried over from Satur-
day to Sunday during summer without
becoming tainted and unwholesome for
family food, except when kept in dry cold
storage boxes such as few private families
can afford, the regulation is absurd and
its existence is an exemplification Of the
forbearance Of a people i'll submitting with
out any effort to have it repealed.

not been secured in spite OF the fact that
Mr.. Conner announced that the story that
he was unsuccessful in his efforts during
his recent visit TO New York was untrue.
The Centrals obligations maturing in
July amount to about 5000 900, the chief
item being the seml-annual dividend of the
Southwestern railroad. President Conner
said that the parties who were expected
to furnish the money have decided
to await the action of DrexeI,

what extent the advancing Of the money
depends upon the action Of Drexel, Morgan

not tell. He said the money will be on hand
in time to meet the obligations.

THE SEIZED r. g. D. CARS.
Argument for Their Release to Be
Heard Next Saturday.

Argument for Their Release to Be
Heard Next Saturday.
Judge MaoDonell has assigned the hearing
Of the petition OF the receivers of the Rich
mond and Danvile railroad for the release
of the eleven cars held under the levy of
the city court Of Savannah. for next Satur-
day morning at 10 O'clock. Hon. Pope
Barrow, A G. Wright, Esq, and Jackson
& Whatley will represent the receivers.
The hearing will be, in accordance with
the petition made to the United States dis
trict court by the Richmond and Danvile
receivers to compel the release Of the cars
on the ground that they were seized after
the appointment of the receivers.
Judge MacDonell said that the main
point to be decided will be whether a re -
ceiver appointed in the Northern district Of
Georgia has any right to collect assets in
the Southern district. A decision Of Judge
Speer in the receivership question is ex-
pected by that time and it may have CON.
siderable bearing on the case at issue.
