La Grippe.

A Hartford, Conn.,, dispatch says:
Reports from all the cities and towns in
the State of Connecticut show that
there haye been 10000 cases of the
grippe in the past month. A notable
feature OF the malady, which still pre-
walls with almost undiminished
severity, is the great number OF prom
inent, well-known and aged persons it
has slain. In almost every consider
able town from three oil four to two
score OF influential citizens have died
Of it, and as a rule it is fatal when it
attacks a person who is 60 or more
years old. Another important feature
Of the epidemic is the endless business
and social embarrassments it has
caused. At Hartford so many house
servants are afflicted with the disease
that hundreds of well-to-do women
have to do their own homework and
there are not enough maids to take the
babies OF the fashionable quarter out
for their daily airing. The druggists
OF the town say that the sale Of
quinine increased enormously during
December. 1t is a question who are
the buster. the undertakers or the

With this issue we are enabled to
state what We have long been wishing
to, that the Austin Mining Company
have abandoned the eight-hour or So
shifts and have resumed ten-hour
shifts at SO so. Superintendent
Earles informed us that the change
took effect with the New Year, and
we have no reason to believe but
that the change is a permanent one.
1t is good news for the miners, all Of

to work the eight hours without it,

After three years labor and after

chiefly Of quicksilver that escaped

Case of Freeze ont.

A telegram from Chicago states that
a young Swede, who had never tasted
ice cream in his life, was employed to
peal potatoes at the Leland Hotel in
that city a few days ago. The young
man got a taste OF the frozen article,
and it so tickled his palate he spent a
greater part OF his time purloining the
article from the freezers. He was so
successful in this pursuit that he ate
enough in three days to cause cramps
to set in of such a severe nature that
it was impossible to relieve him, al
though a doctor was called, and his
death is only a matter Of a very short
time. This will about freeze out any
body's tish or snake tale that can be
started this year.

There is intense excitement at
Challis, Custer county, Idaho, over
the discovery OF an immense lode OF
gold bearing ore, about six miles be-
low Clayton. The lode is reported to
be thirty-eight feet wide, average
samples from which pay sl2 in gold

been staked off for miles. What is
singular about this new discovery is,
il is said that the ore contains besides
the gold enough mercury for ANAL

gold lode has been travelled over daily
for several years, but its value was
only discovered o few days ago.

SAN Francisco, CAL, Jan. 2, 1892.
Referring to the fact that the Coast
telegraph lines have been Frustrated
for a long time and that they are not
yet in working order, the general fore
casts will be- telegraphed, and such
portions thereof as may be applicable
to the several points to which tele-
grams are sent, will be used as the
forecast on which to hoist the flags.
The general forecasts are made for
northern California (all portions Of the
State north OF the 36th parallel OF lati-
tude), southern California, Nevada,
Utah, Washington and Oregon.
The foregoing is necessary until
such time as the Coast lines are again
up, since the futility Of attempting
local forecasts with but interior
stations, and not knowing what is
developing on the Coast, will make it
plain to displaymen that the general
forecasts car alone give an idea as to
the weather to be anticipated. Very

is a reduction Of 40 cents from last
