The strikers Acquitted.

J. q. March, Thomas Cleary, Chas.
Happier, Samuel Howard and Cum
Minis, the strikers who haye been on
trial at Carson for several days we're
acquitted by the U. s. Jury last Mon
day afternoon. The case Was submit
ted during the latter part Of the day,
and the jury, after twenty minutes
elaboration, brought in q unanimous
verdict of not guilty. The citizens Of
Carson were SO jubilant v the re-
suit OF the trial that they rang the fire
bells, fired anvils and otherwise cele-
brated. This ends the matter, and
Notwithstanding that every effort has
been made to convict the defendants,
it has proved a failure after two tedi-
GUS trials.
II was reported in Carson, however,
that il the men were acquitted they
would be re-arrested for perjury. This,
it is hoped, is a false rumor, but If such
steps we're taken it would appear that
there is a system Of persecution being
practiced, and the promoters OF 1t
ought 10 be looked after.-Reno Jour-

buried Treasure I'm Italy.

For centuries it has been the belief
OF the common people Of Genoa that
treasures were hidden in the bed Of
the Polcavera, a stream that runs by
the city. Recently a carter, in digging
for sand in the bed OF the dried-up tor
rent, came upon hidden treasure, Of
which so far coin OF the face value oil
sixty thousand francs has been found,
and the supply is not yet exhausted.
BY the Italian law half OF this goes to
the state and half to the finder. The
value OF the coin is far beyond the sum
mentioned many Of them are rare
and OF great artistic value. They are
chiefly gold, and belong TO the period
between AGO and l550-that is, the
reigns OF Louis XII, Charles VIII,
Louis XII. and Francis l., and are all
either French or Genoese. The Cen
oese ducats are specially rare and will
fetch high prices. The search for treas
ure is going on under police super
vision.

An editor of an Arizona paper is
mourning the loss Of two subscribers.
Number one wrote to ask about getting
his twins through the teething period
safely, while the other wanted to know
how to rid his orchard of grasshoppers.
The answers went forward by the next
mail, but by accident he transposed
them into the wrong envelopes, 30 that
the man with twins received this IN

Cliff Dwellers.

The report of the newly-discovered
old village Of cliff dwellers in Arizona
is not at all surprising. The region in
which it is reported to have been found
is in the midst Of the ancient cliff
dwellers' territory. The chief interest
attaching to this find is in the large
extent Of the village; from the number
Of dwellings reported, one can reason
ably hope for considerable additions to
the fund Of cliff-dweller knowledge.
This expectation is borne out to some
extent by the report that implements
supposed to be for agricultural use
have been found but the further claim
that this is the first evidence that the
cliff jewellers were an agricultural
people proves that the discovery was
not made by persons well informed on
the subject. The fact is, that grain
and other fruits of tillage are very COM
monty found in these villages, and also
the remains of former irrigation canals;
but heretofore, SO far as We are aware,
no agricultural implements. Further
details of the find will be awaited with
inter est.-Salt Lake Tribune.

On Monday Of last week S. D. Wor-

rived at Folsom. CAL, ard was handed
over TO Warden Aull. He was accom.
panied by his brother, q clergyman
from the Eastern States. Worden al
h~andcuffed, and seemed to be docile.
He sat in the bus smoking, while the
mail was being distributed. He was
thoroughly at his ease. and seemed to
enjoy the scrutiny Of the crowd that
assembled to see him. Worden seems
to have an idea that he is a hero, and
imagines that the morbid curiosity Of
the people is evidence Of their admira-
ton for him. As the death sentence
has been imposed upon him he will
not have much to do but reflect on
himself. Aside from the fact that he
will be in solitary confinement, he will
fare somewhat better than the other
prisoners.

The great bulk Of the people imagine
that the man who makes the most
money in the shortest space Of time Is
the greatest inancier. In other words,
the belief is general that making
money, as the term goes. is finance.
No greater mistake could be made,
since the idea that money making rep
resents the grand structure Of finance
is as absurd as TO contend that the fill
ing Of ones stomach represents the
great plan Of God in creation. Money
making, as a rule, is but another name
for successful scheming, for taking adj
vantage not only Of opportunities but
Of ones own kind, while true finance
teaches an open, intelligent, general
method by which, through average
care and industry, all may thrive. The
study Of finance ennobles, while the
practice Of money making degrades.-

. Atrocities.

A London dispatch says the reported
Japanese atrocities at Port Arthur are
confirmed from various sources, but it
is believed they we're due to continued
atrocities on the part Of the Chinese.
A letter to the London Times from To-
kio, dated October IA. says the Chi
nese do not take prisoners. From the
dead and wounded Of the vanquished
they shear off the heads and string
them together with q rope passed
through the mouth and gullet. The
Japanese have seen these CHASTITY rem
nants of their comrades. A barrelfui
of mutilated remains were found by
the Japanese after the battle Of Ping

A Great AlfalfA Patch.

E. T. Kellner of Phoenix, A. T.. in
a recent interview had this to say OF
his alfalfa patch:
"To show what the soil Of the valley
will do when irrigated, I will give an
example Of my alfalfa patch. l have
a thousand acres in a body, all sown
to alfalfa, and this pays me clean cash
5000 per year. Fruit has its draw
backs in caring, packing, shipping,
curing and dozens of other vexatious
details; but my alfalfa patch goes
right along without trouble, netting me
more clean cash than any other OF my
investments. Strikes may come and
go. markets may huctuate, scale and
pests may eat out orchards, banks may
burst and mines peter out, but my al
falfa patch goes on forever"

A MINE.

The Shamrock Company at Kennedy

aged s1S 80 per ton. The Union tun-
mel is in 800 feet. The vertical distance
between the levels Of the two tunnels
is 30 feet, and the ledge has a pitch Of
30 degrees, which would indicate 200
feet OF backs" to the upper tunnel.
A reporter was in the mine Thursday
and three feet Of the ledge had been
entered. The ledge next to the foot.
wall was a solid sulphuret, but the
face of the tunnel was in a sparkling
mass OF galena. II the vein holds in
galena the company will have an i'm

a smelter. or If the proportion Of quartz
in the upper tunnel continues, which
would indicate a concentrating propo-

gigs on the ground at small cost and
make a shipping concentrate worth 800

A remarkable incident occurred at
