Last week Warden Bell, accompan-
led by J. J. Bogard, Sheriff Of Tehama
county. California, landed at the Car
son depot with Milton Sharp, the stage
robber, who escaped from the Nevada
Penitentiary about four years ago.
A large crowd was at the train to see
the noted convict. He looked cool and
u~nconcerned and climbed into the
prison wagon alongside Deputy War
den Bown. He was not handcuffed,
as he had given his word to the War
den that he would make no attempt to
escape, and Sharp's word was always
good. He was leg-ironed, however,
and in about half an hour was back in
his old quarters at the prison. His
arrival created considerable excite
ment, as he was regarded by the in
mates as the king Of the convicts; a
sort Of big fish in the puddle.
Besides he had made a successful
escape and had been away nearly four
years.
He nodded to those with whom he
vas acquainted and took his lunch.
He accepts with a quiet resignation
characteristic Of him, the fact that by
reason Of his break he loses his credits
and will be prosecuted for his escape;
for it is a crime to break out as we'll as
into . building in this State. He has
over eleven years to serve before he
will have completed his sentence

A CHANCE TO PROSPECT.

The Nevada Transcript says: A letter
has been received here from Virginia
City stating that the unemployed min
ers, married and single-mostly of the
former-are leaving in large crowds al
most daily. They realize that there
will be work for them there during the
coming Winter, and the indications
being that We will have a severe one,
they are preparing to find new homes
elsewhere. The letter further states
that over fifty miners left that place q
day or two ago on foot for Nevada City
and Grass Valley, and many Of them,
ii they fail to find employment, will 90
to prospecting in this district. II 10
evident that the mines are well filed
with men, but as to prospecting,
they will find no better field in the
world than in Nevada county. The
country is full Of quartz, and although
many Of the lodges that have already
been discovered are claimed the owners
are generally willing to allow prospec-
tors to work them IN reasonable terms,
either by tribute or otherwise. New
lodges are being discovered right along
and there is always room for one more.

EDrsoN's COMING ISvESrrox.

A correspondent Of London Machin-

esting particulars from Mr.. Thomas
A. Edison: "I am at work on an in

camera, and not only reproduce the
sounds accompanying an event, but

For instance, IL Madame Adelina Patti

put her full length picture upon canvas
SO that the expression Of her face and
the pose Of her body can be seen while
listening to the song she has sung.

reproduced the ring, the two princi-
pals, the crowd about them, the in
tensely interested expressions Of all,
the sound Of blows, the cheers Of en-
couragement and the bowls of disap-
pointment. My idea is that q man,
sitting in his library at home, may be
able to see reproduced upon his wall

The Democratic politicians and Con-

What's the matter?" "Why. I've

So it is with the Democrats. They
have swallowed Cleveland. II they

leader, they will be kicked out Of their

people will kick them out. They are

Jim Rule, an old Comstock miner,
who was Superintendent Of the Con.
Virginia mine when it was worked un-
der the Jones lease in 1881 and 1885,
is negotiating with Mackay and Flood
to be allowed TO open up the mine
above the HOO level. He says he
positively knows Of the existence Of a
large body Of good ore above the HOO
foot level Of the old Consolidated Vir-
GINA ground. He believes that this
body Of ore, If developed, will add
many millions to the bullion output Of
the property, and will enable 1t to pay
many dividends. He refused to say
just where this body Of ore lies until
the company shall have given him
permission to direct the work Of the
exploration, but he acknowledges that
he gained knowledge Of the existence
Of such a body Of ore while acting as
Superintendent. The managers Of the
mine are reported as favoring Rules

slower in taking to it thar. their En-
glish sisters, who long ago adopted the

French women, however, have gone

Mining IN Alaska.

The San Francisco Mining and Sci
entific Press says: Eleven miners ar
rived in this city from Alaska last week,
and report having had q very hard
time in the Yukon district. They Ia
bored mostly on Forty-mile creek, q
tributary Of the Yukon, 40 miles below
Fort Reliance and 100 miles up from
st. Michaels. They say that mining
in Alaska is like a lottery-some strike
it, others do not-an experience that
holds good in other countries than
Alaska. The hardships that beset
mining in parts of Alaska are undeni-
ably great. An instance is recalled by
the writer: Over four years ago he
met q miner who had come down the
Stickeen river on the ice from across
the divide, where he had been all Win
ter, with absolutely no communication
with the outside world. He first heard
OF the result Of the Presidential cleo
ton in 1888 in April, 1889. On the
journey down a heavy thaw set in, and
the ice broke up. His Indian attend
ants deserted him with their dogs.
After incredible hardship, he landed
on an island at the mouth Of the river.
Secreting 10000 Of gold dust in a tree,
he constructed q raft, and by "a hours
hard work managed to reach Fort
Wrangel, a few miles distant. He re-
tarned in q boat for the gold dust. But
this is an exceptional instance. Near
the coast the Alaskan climate is much
milder than is generally supposed.

The loss of life and property by the
storm in the Gulf Of Mexico is truly
appalling. The estimate is that 1000
lives have persisted, and that property
valued at q 1000. 900 has been swept
away. No such storm devastation has
ever been known in the whole region
either in living memory or on record.
1t was predicted early in the year that
on account OF the exceptional number
of solar spots solar activity would be
very pronounced on the earth. The
reasoning thus far seems to have been
substantiated by numerous disasters.

THE PAIGE COMPOSITION.

II is claimed for the new Paige Com
position, q type-setting machine, that II
does the entire work OF composition,
setting ordinary movable type with
far greater speed, accuracy and artistic
effect than has yet been accomplished
by any method. The machine auto
matically distributes and at the same
time sets the type indicated by the
operator, automatically spaces and JUS
tifes the matter without mental effort
on the part OF the operator. places IL
in a galley ready for book or newspa-
per, as desired, records the number Of
lines set, and I" leads" the matter when
required. All OF this is accomplished
by 9 Of positive mechanism. In
An apprenticeship of less than 40 days,
it 10 said, an operator has set S6,5l5
lens" Of solid, standard nonpareil in
eight hours. an average OF s,5l5 "ems"
an hour. These figures are wonderful
when one takes into consideration the
fact that the average printer Of to-day
sets about 700 or 800 TENS" an hour,
with his time Of distribution also con-
sidered. The machine, as has already
been said. distributes its type while it

one-twelfth horsepower. and is now
in private practical operation.
II can print" says Mr.. Paige. "a
