One of the silver Senators has made con-
vert 10 the gold standard in an unexpected and
rather startling manner The statement crop
ped out that Judas betrayed the Savior for 30
pieces of silver, and the Senator got a letter
which reads:
DEAR SIR: You stated that Judas sold
Jesus Christ for 30 pieces of silver. have
investigated the record and found all the
authorities agree on this astonishing piece of
treachery having been accomplished by the use
Of silver. Count me out in the future. ! am

Everything continues to look f1atter-
ing at the Poorman mine on War Eagle
BY recent careful surveys it has been
proven that the rich ore vein cut in
the Belle Peck tunnel is on the Glen
brook ledge, instead OF, as f rst believed, /,
the Oso. The Oso is estimated to be
still 45 feet further east, and crosscut
will be made TO ind it after the vein
they are now on has been drifted so
fet further, to reach the dyke known to
cross at that point. From this point it
would be reached directly under the
point where the rich ore was taken out
of the Oso tunnel by Sommercamp and
Hicks several years ago. The Glenbrook
vein, they are now on, stands perpen-
dicular while the Oso pitches west.

Secretary Carlisle and the New York
gold bugs now boldly announce that the
country is now permanently placed on a
single gold standard basis. They have
accomplished what they set out to do,
and all their hypocracy about being
friends of silver is now revealed, al
though it was plain enough to the real
friends of the white metal from the be-
ginning. One consolation silver pro-
ducers have, although melancholy
one, is that every cotton-producer in
the South and every wheat-grower in
the West who stood in with the gold
bugs, is worse hurt than the miner. An
ounce of silver now buys as much wheat
or cotton as it ever did, even if it don't
pay more than 55 per cent as much on a
mortgage or bond held by the pluto
Gratis.

Besides the boast that idaho produces
almost every mineral heretofore known
to science; also diamonds, emralds. ru-
bies, saphires and opals, now comes the
report from the Smithsonian Institute,
at Washington,t that variety Of ore sent

metal unknown to scientists, which they
have named Powelte, in honor of the
gentleman at the head of the geological
survey in this state. Verify the won

Recently it has been discovered that

When the magnificent water powers,

region, shall have been harnessed to dy-

light, heat and power when our mines

ment, we can laugh at the balance of
the world, and the people of the East
ern States, whose knowledge of the
i
bilities, is as limited as the narrow con-
fines of their state boundaries, will learn
that the strip of land east of the Alle-
gheny mountains is not the United
States, but only very small integral

We were yesterday shown a letter
written by well known Caldwell gen.
tleman, giving his opinion of the new
gold saver. He says be only spent a
short time watching the machine in OPP
Grafton. They were running at the rate
of about six tons of gravel per day, en-
ploying seven men. a steam engine and
a dynamo. Granted that the bar runs
$3.50 per yard (; that they were saving
every particle of gold, they were maxi
ing considerably less than one dollar
day per man, counting quicksilver,
fuel and use of water at nothing. There
was too big flourish made over this
wond erful machine months ago by the
Portland gentlemen who own it, which
made us suspect it would turn out just
as this gentleman describes it.

Dogs as smnegIsrs.

In the Netherlands dogs used to be
trained by smugglers to cross thefrontier
laden with parcels of lace, at night. A
quick-scented dog was despatched ahead
of them, who, when he smelled custom
house officers about, turned back and
warned the others, who lay concealed
behind bushes or in bitches till all was
safe. At the end of the journey the
leading dog showed himself alone, nor
did the others come up till a whistle
was given by the consignee to show all
was safe.

wardtnr or cholera.

Persians have many rites which the
superstitious believe are efficaclous IN
averting attacks of the cholera. One
of the most popular of these is that OF
passing under the Koran. Two elders
stand opposite each other, holding be-
tween them scroll of the Koran
wrapped in sillSen scarf. Under this
swinging talisman the peasants pass
one by one and then go home, con-
vinced that the cholera will not be able
to touch them.

Mr.. w. r. Eckxrt, the eminent con-

say about DeLamar invention which
was described in the NUGeET last sum-
mer, and in which Messrs. James Joyce
and Joseph Francis are interested:
SAN Francisco. Oct. %, 1893.
THos. H. OxNAm, Eso.-Dear Sir
Knowing of some of tho difficulties in
getting good pipe wrench, which will
be simple and at the Same time adjusta-
BILE to different diametsrs of pipes to be
found around mill works, can say that
after q careful examination of your in
vention feel that great many of the
difficulties heretofore experienced have
been overcome by it. The addition of
the chain gives it greater capacity
than any other wrench l know of, and
it should be an exceedingly useful in
strumsnt.
Very respectfully yours.

Are Women Honest.

In a recent San Francisco paper
piece with the above title was
noticed.
The. case was tested by two re-
pOrters by dropping purses in va
riOuS places on the street so that
they could be seen by ladies pass
ing.
Out of eight cases only one was
found where the lady tried to
find the owner and four out of
five where gentlemen tried to find
the loser.
Annie Laurie, a lady correspon-
dent, says in replying to.the piece,
that the ladies as rule are more
honest but a fat looking pocket
book with only fifty cents in it is
of more temptation to them than
fifty dollars is to man, as the
women seldom have much money
and that the temptation is toe
great for them to resist.

Were laid emblamed upon shelf.
