GOOD Gold Prospects.

E. J. Ruby and Jack Richards
are now at work cleaning up an old
shaft on the claim owned by the
King brothers in Gold Canyon.
The shaft is about 20 feet deep and
shows good pay gravel from top to
bottom. The men at work are now
using windlass to hoist, and are
washing out about 50 day apiece.
There is a tunnel about 100 feet in
length running towards this shaft,
but it is yet about $50 feet from the
shaft. 1t is believed that there is a
channel back of this tunnel that is
rich in gold.

Keep in the Middle of the Road"

Side tracks are rough and they're hard to walk,
Keep in the middle OF the road;
Though we hav'nt got time to stop and talk.
We keep in the middle of the road.
Turn your backs on the gold bug men,
And yell for silver now and then;
If you want to beat Grover, also Ben,
Just stick to the middle OF the road.
Don't answer the call of gold bug tools.
But keep in the middle Of the road;
Prove that the West was mt settled by fools,
And keep in the middle of the road
They've woven their plots. and woven them i'll,
We want WEAVER who's got more skill,
And most we want a silver bill.
So wen stay in the middle of the road.

THE proposed international Mon
etary Conference is to be held at
Berlin, where silver was de-
monetized before John Sherman
succeeded in perpetrating the infa-
my in the United States. This
augurs ill for the silver cause
Journal.
What pitiable farce is this In
ternational Conference! All the
acts of craftsmanship done by the
President in the last four years are
wiped away by this act of calling
an International Conference, to be
held Ia BERLIN, to establish ra-
ito between gold and silver for
AMERICAN coin. But two free
coinage men to represent this count
ry in the conference, the balance
to be led by the beef-eating British
ers and the beer-guzzling Dutch.
Great God, what a display of Ameri-
can craftsmanship is thisl Grovel-
ing at the feet of two nations that
should come to us for capitulations.
American citizens, is not this
enough to make Christ arise
from the dead and set the
world on fire? And still they tell
us that Harrison is friendly to sill
yer! How can any intelligent man
believe such rot? Let us tell you
what, in our mind, this Internation-
al Conference will amount to. In
the first place they are already
talking of changing the ratio be-
tween gold and silver from 16 to 20
or % to /. This done, and an
iron-clad agreement entered into by
the three or four nations interested
for period of ten or twenty years,
and where is your silver for that
length Of time? 1t will simply
settle the silver question in favor of
Wall street and London for the
time that may be agreed upon, or
until the people of this country
openly rebel againt the government
that is making America home for
millionaires and tramps only.
This International Conference is
likely to be second in iniquity only
10 the crime of 1878 demonetizing
the white metal.

Vice President, will be in Virginia
City next Thursday evening to ad-
dress the people on the political
situation. They should receive a
rousing reception. This is the first
time in the history of the State
that candidates for these offices
have thought enough of Nevada to
visit her. Cleveland never visited
this State, and when Harrison was

How to Learn to Sing.

Lung power and capacity may be won- derfully increased and strengthened by constant repetition of the syllable "ah" on the three or four notes in the middle register of the voice; that is, the three or four notes which one sings most naturally and with the least effort. Let the pupil get one note clear cut, round, full and musical; then from that note as a starting pointlet him go up and down, gradually working out the huskiness from the adjacent notes and sounding them until they become pure and reso- nant and can be delivered without strain or effort.
 Let him work systematically and. above all, avoid the pernicious trick of learning ''pieces" by rote or by ear. His first effort should be to increase the purity and range of his voice, and to that end he should, as suggested above, use the broad syllable "ah" only for time, and on no account should he try to sing an air until he can do so under standingly, with full knowledge of musical notation and perfect command of his vocal urces.-Demorest's Mag aZine.

 | Suddenly orders reached there from Richmond asking for soldiers to help de- 1 fend Manassas against the Grand Army of the Potomac under Mcdowell. Wheat snatched up five companies of recruits, many of them respited iailbirds, and reached Bull Run just in time to play the hero's role. His men were fresh, were i fancifully got up and were from faroff l Louisiana, that had it's own "bacon" to ' look after, and was very generous to hear the Virginians' appeal.
 1 Wheat called his men the old Dominion Guard, as the situation suggested, but one of his companies carried banner having picture of lamb under the legend, "As gentle as"-. The men styled themselves Tigers" and in the fight at Bull Run the whole battalion initiated the terror of the junglein fierce and reckless onslaught and resistance. The men went into the fight as Wheat's battalion and came out as the Tigers, never to shake the name Wheat was in his element "Beaure- gar'," the idol of the creole population, gave him a place of honor. Before the battle opened he crossed Bull Run stream alone on a scout and spied out through the bushes the Union columns trying to steal a march on Beauregards camp. His bat talion was afterward deployed as skir- mishers in the ambush, where the head of the Union columns were treading confi- dently along the woodlands expecting a surprise and an easy victory.
 The Tigers first encountered Burnside's brigade, and made havoc in the ranks of the Second Rhode Island regiment. Their rifles brought down Col. Slocum and Mai. Ballou, and scores and hundreds of their luckless followers. Wheat was shot through the chest from side to side, the bullet coursing both lungs. The sur geons told him he must die. because there was no case on record of recovery from such a wound "I will put mine on record" he declared hopefully, and lived to fight another day.
 Beauregard praised Wheat for nipping the Union assault in the bud, and the Tigers, with the Black Horse cavalry, car ried off the sensational honors of the field. All Dixie rang with their praises for months.
 Wheat was on hand to lead his men in Stonewall Jackson's campaigns in the Shenandoah valley in the spring of 1862 He went with the valley army to Rich mond, when Jackson's forces united with Lee in breaking up McClellan's lines on the Chickahominy. In the first assault on the Union batteries at Gaines Mill, he was instantly killed at the head of the storm ing party, where his tall. massive form made shining mark" for bullets.
 Wheat carried in his pocket book of devotions given him by his mother, and before daylight on the morning of his death he aroused his officers and read them the Prayer for Joyful Resurrection" After reading the "ration of the day." as he called 1t, he made few remarks, punctuated with tears, and then mounted his horse and rode off to battle with the notoriously widest and wickedest body of men in the ermy.

wlsn rne cres or the oppressed and the fmpulsive. Wheat had no lack of oc- cupation as professional liberator. He crossed over to Mexico to take hand in the uprising headed by Carravajal against the Church party. The scheme failed, and Wheat, loath to doff his regimentals, east lots in with the filibuster Walker, who had been his college classmate at Nash vile. Hecarried re-enforcements and arms to Walker at Nicaraugua after the defeat of the filibusters at Rivas, and while there was blown from the deck of an exploding steamer but swan ashore, taking a wounded man with him.
 Meanwhile another and more power full uprising was a ioot among the repub- licans in Mexico, and Wheat offered his sword to Alvarez, thu, champion of the l4ib- erals against Santa Anna and the church. He was appointed general of artillery, but Alvarez resigned without fight and took his well filled gold chests and his favorite officers to a peaceful hacienda far from the madding turmoils of revolution and proceeded to take a rest. Wheat soon tired of the monotony, and hearing from afar the rife blasts of Garibaldi's carbonari piercing the quiet air of sunny Italy, he crossed the ocean for chance to polish up his liberating sword once more.
 Garibaldi gave him all the chance he wanted, and he went through battle and skirmish displaying the magnificent cour- age, the rare horsemanship and the per sonal chivalry of the cavalier. He was close to Garibaldi and in his confidence, and the enthusiastic Latins cai.ed him the "American Murat." He saw the thing through in Italy to the point where Gari- baldi crowned Victor Emanuel king, and then set his face homeward to mix in the great fight of the age, the civil war.
 Returning through Paris, Wheat was presented at Napoleon's court. Soon after ward he was strolling in the Bois de Cologne with friend schooied in the op- pressive, not to say suppressive, shadow of royalty. The Empress Eugenie happened to be in the park with her retinue. and the royalist, for fear of making a break, pro posed that Wheat and himself should back off from the divine circle that hedges in the crowned pates and retire. Wheat had no lack of respect for the situation, but didn't see the need of such squeamishness and went his way with a gallant salute that brought a nod and smile in return from the proud Castilian who shared the throne of France.
 On landing in America Wheat went at once to his old chieftain, Gen. Scott, but of course couldn't agree with the old mans view of coercion against state rights, and crossed the lines to Richmond. As an ex- general of Italy and of Mexico, to say noth- ing of the other claims, he naturally ex- pected something at the hands of Jefferson Davis. He got only rebuff, and in his chagrin started for Pensacola to enlist as private in battery led by his younger brother, John Thomas Wheat He passed through New Orleans on the way, and Gen. Twiggs halted him to help organize the raw levies flocking to the Confederate camps.

COLONEL GRAHAM, OF posEY COUNTY

His Joyiess Ride in the Smoker with an
 Ungrateful Jerseyman.
 When Colonel Graham, of Posey county, Ind, left town for Trenton yes terday he put in his pocket two of the best imported cigars that he could buy. The colonel is confirmed cigarette smoker, but he always carries cigars for self protection when he travels. Since he left Posey county he has developed a discriminating nose for tobacco. A rank cigar makes him more peevish than "knees" in his trousers. There are few smokers of bad cigars who will not throw away half burned stump to ac. cept one of the colonel's good cigars, with the graceful apology that always goes with it.
 "Why, do you know" said Colonel Graham the other day, "there are no cigars in Indiana so rank as those that are smoked in New Jersey. They are the brand that will kill vegetation, and l always carry a cigar or two to give away on the smoking car. Why, it's enough to make man fretful."
 Colonel Graham's seat in the smoker was shared yesterday by man with no taste in tobacco. He sniffed contemptu- ously at the colonel's cigarette, and puffed contentedly at very bad cigar with a dark, shiny wrapper. Colonel Graham was growing seasick. He threw away his cigarette, and drawing cigar from his pocket said to the man beside him:
 Pardon me, sir, but may trouble you for lightp
 Sure, Mike" replied the man, and he handed Colonel Graham Q cigar that had just been lighted. Colonel Gra- ham carefully lighted his own cigar, and with apparent absentmindedness tossed the other out of the window.
 "Well, I'll be-
 "No, don't" interrupted Colonel Gra- ham, 'I really wasn't thinking what I was doing. Please accept one of my cigars and permit me to offer an apol- ogy. am very absentminded-at times."
 The man looked at the cigar the colo nel gave him and said:
 Looks pretty good. Better'n mine, l guess. pay three dollars a hundred for mine"
 "That cigar cost twenty-five dollars hundred, and is pretty fair, l think" replied the colonel.
 "H'm," said the man as he bit the end off. Then he leaned over and said:
 Twill you give me light nowT"
 Colonel Graham offered his cigar. The man lighted his own from it with chuckles of satisfaction. Then he leaned back comfortably and tossed Colonel Graham's cigar out of the window.
 "Why, you"---
 Don't" said. the man. "When think of the tariff on cigars go into trance, and I'm not responsible for what do. Let me offer you one of my cigars and he pulled out one of the three dollar a hundred brand and handed it to Colonel Graham.
 "Why, you"--
 "Now, don't, say" interrupted the man. This is my station, but you can get light from the man in front. Much obliged for your smoke. Goodby," and he was of the car.
 Colonel Graham returned to New York last night and announced that his system was shattered. Hereafter he will ride in the drawing room car and smoke cigarettes.-New York Sun.
