says: The bank robber who was shot
here yesterday by his pals, after he had
grievously wounded the cashier Of

have on his person 81 800 Of the booty.
A letter was also found on him addressed
to Stephen McKee, 9O2 Hickory street,

The gang is supposed to have been the

ABOUT PoISoNS.

A Pomona Papers View OF an Interest
ing Subject.
A party of Pomona gentlemen, sage
the Progress OF that city, were chatting
the other evening, when the subject of
rattlesnakes and their awful poison
came up. The discussion became inter-
esting. and was productive OF investga.
ton the next day concerning poisons
and the curious action they have upon
animals and human beings under GER
tain conditions.
Few persons know that many poisous
that have deadly effect when applied ex-
ternally have no effect internally, and
vice versa. Thus the most deadly snake
venom can be swallowed with IMMUNITY.
the juices of the stomach presumably
decomposing it and rendering it harm less.
Many experiments have been made to
prove this. On one occasion recorded by
the famous Won Humboldt, one person
swallowed the whole of the poison that
could be obtained from four vipers with.
out suffering any bad consequences. In
the same way the poison from the en-
venomed arrows of Indians can be swal-
lowed with safety, provided only that
there is no wound on the lips or inside
of the mouth. Fontana, who, in 1887,
published book on poisons, remarks:
'Being reduced by contradictory evil
dence to the necessity of testing the
venom myself, did so. but not without
repugnance, and shall advise no one to
try it in gayety of heart lest he should
happen to have some excoriatior on the
tougue--a circumstance not always easy
to determine. | could find no taste in it
except OF very ineipid liquor"
Among all people the sucking of the
wound has ever been considered the
most effective remedy of immediate
application for snake bites. In Africa a
cuppiDg instru ment is employed in emer
gencies of the kind to draw out the pois-
oned blood. The ancients followed the
same methoc, and when Cato made hil
famous expedition through the serpent
infested African deserts he employed
savage snake charmers, called Psylli, t.
follow the army. They performed man.
mysterious rites over men who were bit
ten, but the efficiency of their treatmen
appears to hsve consisted in sucking the
wound. A vivid notion OF the intensity OF
cobra's venom is given by the experience
OF DR.. Franco T. auckland. He putt rat
into cage with snake OF that species,
and it was killed after plucky fight.
Upon examining the skin OF the dead
rat Immediately afterward he found two
very minute punctures, like email needle
holes, where the fangs of the cobra had
entered. The flesh seemed already to
have mortified in the neighborhood of
the wound.

Gently receded. From appearances the
man had been dead about week. He
had evidently drifted a considerable dis
lance. His hat and the greater portion
of his shirt were gone. The scant re-
mains OF his sh.rt showed it TO have
been red flannel one. He had on u
pair of blue overalls and pair OF fine,
cslfskin boots, ne,rly new, and of the
cowboy style. The body had been out
of the water for two days and was con-
siderably decomposed and badly swollen.
We could see, however, that he had
been large, strong man, weighing close
to $50 pounds. His face had been round
and full and he had evidently worn
light moustache. His forehead was high
and his hair dark in color.
Although the smell was extremely Of
fensive, we ripped his pockets open
with the hope OF finding something by
which to identity him. In his pockets
were found portion OF a copy OF the
San Francisco Chronicle. dated May 10.
1894, pocket knife and $475 in silver.
That was all. The money was given to

Big Mine Transfer.

The 15.stanp mill at Picacho has been
sold to Chicago capitalists, says tho San
Diego Union. j. M. Mendevil and Col
n. X. Allen made the sale, says the
Yuma Sentinel. The former named
gentleman ia the agent for the owner of
the mine, namely, Dewitt G. Jsnines of
Florida, N. Y, and the buyer. Mr..
Snider Of Chicago, was represented by
Colonel Allen. Mr.. Snider, with party
consisting OF four other gentlemen, will
arrive here the fore part Of next week.
1t is said they will add Is more stamps
to the mill, and will commence at once
on their arrival putting the mine in rum
ming ORDER, and expect to start the mill
up in few weeks. We are informed
that the property sold for $125, 900.
Mr.. Wallace, hydraulic engineer of the
Picacho placer mines, came to town
Tuesday and left the following day for
San Francisco. The stockholders, we
understand, nave been quarreling
among themselves of late as to how the
mine should be worked. Mr.. Wallace
said there WAS plenty of gold there, but
the way things had been conducted of
late it was liable to remain undisturbed.
Mr. Wallace has the reputation of being
first-class hydraulicking engineer, but
ever since his connection with the COM
pany he has not been allowed to go
ahead and develop the property ecien-
tifically. He said he was Disguised with
the whole outfit. and as long as the
stockholders continued to quarrel over
the m after there was no use for him to
try to do anything at their mine.

as possible and work is also being done
on the drifts above. The WINES are
being sunk equally as fast as the shaft.
In word, the Brolze ia opened up in
splendid shape, and its appearance
from day to day lie cheering in the ex-
IRENE.
Ne learn from Crescent that the mill
st that place Is now running and that it
Ia doing it's work in most satifactory
manner. The mining property in that
camp is looking well.
Charles Stewart and Don Craig have
leased part OF the Boomerang and will
work it together with the portion of the
Webster that they have been working
for some time. The property is looking
splendidly.
MIR. Patton says that there will be re.
newed activity around the main shaft of
the st. George. This will complete the
list OF leading properties on which work
is now being done, not one of them lying
idle. Whether Mr.. Potion and othsrs
have purchased the mine or whether it
has been leased or bonded has not yet
been made put bio. Sufficient is it for us
that work is to be commenced.
CampbelPs property continues to i'm
prove. much to the satisfaction OF all
concerned. for when ons's prophecies
come true the prophet feels satisfied.
And as the truth Of the prevailing and
expressed opinion that the Boomerang
would be better at 400 feet than any
whore above has been proved. people are
feeling much better. The largest force
ever employed there is now at work,
and there is runner that more men are
To be added. The mill is working most
OF the time under the government OF
Dick Rich, that gentleman having &C
cepted the position OF superintendent.
1t is probable that the mill will com
mence very soon to run day and night,
as the water in the mine is inc-eas /,
very rapidly-so fast, in fact, that the
miners working in the main shaft are
commencing to swear like pirates be-
cause of the cheerful sound OF wate' as
it coolly trickles Down the back. Very
little ore is ON the dump, as the greater
part of the force is doing development
work, only ore enough being taken out
to keep the mill running.

calculations to lay more, from the dig

that there was some rich mine in the
San Francisquito and now at last, it has
been found. We congratulate the finders

The Carbonate Mine.

The Carbonate mine at Orc Graude
Queer Of high grade gold ore. says the
San Bernardino Times-Index. The gen
eral run of the mine ia gold and silver,
the ore taken, both metals, being Of a
very satisfactory grade. The phenom-
email gold ore occurs in separate bodies
in the vein. The first was encountered
at a depth of about 100 feet and created
considerable excitement at the time.
After it was worked out the shaft was
sunk to the depth OF about 200 feet with
out encountering another. In the
meantime the owners could not
agree and the working of the
mine was unsatisfactory and finally
was stopped. A few months since
one of the owners, Hebe Robinson,
leased the property from his partners
and went to work alone by himself in
the bottom of the mine, 200 feet from
the surface. After working some time
his confidence was rewarded by striking
another pocket of that fabulously rich
gold ore. He has already taken out $1,000
from the narrow streak. He takes out
the ore and pounds it up in an assayer's
mortar. There is also more metal than
quartz in it, and it all clings together
aud he picks out the pieces OF rock and
then melts the metal down. That is his
milling process.
This property is only mile from Orc
Grande, close to the Santa Fe railway
and is very easy to work, and has con-
siderable ore that will pay to work, and
may yet make that place a fourishing

"SHARK POKER.

Some Rules for tho Press Clut
Dovoteess
The following rules for playing
"shark" poker were compiled by thu
late President Arthur, aud are pub.
lished for the sporty boys of the Press
club:
One-Don't buy half as many chips
at the start as the other players. The
expectation Ia that you will win, and il
you lose 1t is better that you borrow or
''owe up"
Second-Nevsr ante up until some
one tells you to and then say you have
and stick to 1t. which will generally
pursuade some one else to "come in"
twice. This rule, though an excellent
one, must be followed with discretion.
Ii practiced too often it is liable to pro-
duce unpleasant feel ings.
Third-Toward the end of the evening
it is always better to lowe up" your
ante "for q minute" than to "put up
as the winner of the pot frequently for
gets to charge up the debt, aud none oil
the other players will remind him, as
they wish to do the same thing.
Fourth-When the credit system be-
gins to creep in, as it generally does
about the middle of the ga me, you should
lowe up" if possible. and bet chiefly
against those who put up" This ia
one of the most important rules. To
win in cash and lose on credit is the
greatest secret of successful poker play
ing. M
Fifth-In dealing always observe the
bottom card, which You can easily do
before the cut. Then by noticing how
thick the cut is made you can tell if the
card goes out. 1t may help you in the
draw. ..,...,... ~. 4.
Sixth Keep q sharp eye on the dis.
cards. They may be OF service II your
draw is not satisfactory.
Seventh-When yeu are Sin luck''
watch your opportunity. From time to
time put some of your checks in your
pocket without being seen. This will
enable you to lowe up" il luck turns
and will prevent the others from owing
you.
Eighth-When anyone wants to buy
more checks and you have plenty, get
them to buy of you if possible in prefer
ence to the bank. It enables you tc
conceal the amount of your winnings
and, besides, the bank may not be able
to pay up.
Ninth w hen you are "chipping OUT
for drinks, etc., put cigar in your
pocket every once in while. You are
sure to be 80 much ahead of the game,
and they come in very handy, even
when you don't smoke.
Tenth- Never permit anything to
make you forget for moment that the
whole object of the game is to save your
own money and secure somebody else's,
and let everything you do, however
trifing, tend to this desirable end.
Elevsnth-When the game 10 over i
you are ~ winner deny it entirely, or fix
the figure as low as possible; if you are
lossr declare you have lost twice az
much as you really have. This rule il
never departed from. The money LOST
at game OF poker always foots up foul
times as much as the money won.
