Wind Worthless.

That intelligent traveller in SCuth AT
RIGA, Mr. Burchell, says that in the dry
season, when the thermometer frequent
ly stood at SO degrees in the shade, he
often witnessed small whirlwinds which
drew up pillars of dust, and these pass
ed rapidly along, carrying up every
light substance to the height Of 100 tC
400 feet.
Professor Smyth, while at Tenerife,
noticed this cu-ious effect: A small
whirlwind passed close to their tent and
seized upon the end Of a roll Of blue
cloth that was hanging out of chest,
unrolled it, although it was 40 yards
long, and carried it up into the sky SC
high that it looked like piece Of rib
bon. There it sailed slowly round in q
circle, accompanied by some hats, caps
and other smaller matters, after which,
descending leisurely, it fell about 4Ot
yards away. Notes and Queries.

defendant to plaintiffs petition in the
case of the Peralta Land and Water Com
pany VS.. E. Z. Shaffer, Auditor. The case
is one in which the law of 1895 in reference
to the redemption of land sold for taxes is
brought to test.
Plaintiff company alleges that it applied
to the Auditor on September p, 1895, for
an estimate OF amount required to redeem
a large number of lots sold to the State for
delinquent taxes for the years 1889 to 1892
inclusive, and providing for redemption
under the laws existing, and in force, at
the time of such sales.
Auditor Shaffer, the petition AYERS re-
fused to furnish the estimate upon the
ground that he considered the act approved
on March Is 1895, relative 10 redemptions,
as being the only act in force under which
such redemption should be made
In his opinion, however, Judge Puter-
baugh holds the act of March % to be re-
troactive IN It's effects, and that it clearly
increases costs and penalties required for
the redemption OF land from tax sales
made prior to its passage, and, in so far as
it does this, he holds the act to be in
valid.
Auditor Shaffer, it is understood, has
been instructed by Attorney General Fitz-
gerald to appeal from the decision in order
to make test case. The law involved al
fects property in the State TO the value of
hundreds of thousands of dollars.

completed. After running a year a con-
troversy arose between the Champion and
Providence companies as 10 their north
and south lines respectively, injunctions
and counter injunctions were resorted to,
and work was suspended in the mine for
nearly year. About year ago the mine
started up again. The case in court has
been decided in favor of the Champion
Company, an appeal taken. and final ad-
judication is expected during the present
month.
Many years ago the Champion Company
began acquiring adjoining land and
claims, and have persistently pursued this
policy until they now own what might
fairly be termed mineral kingdom, en-
bracing twenty-three claims, aggregating
450 acres of ground, and being more than
a mile in length on three important lodes.
The most important acquisitions have
been the Mortified and Wyoming claims
and works of comparatively recent date.
The three lodes are known respectively as
the Merrifield or east lode, which is in
formation locally called granite; the con-
tact lode, between granite and slate; and
the Wyoming lode, wholly in slate. On
the surface the lodes are parallel, at a
uniform distance apart, all dip the same
way at about the same angle-30 degrees
all carry heavily sulphureted ore of very
nearly the same character; the Wyoming
averaging per cent sulphurets, the Merri-
field per cent and the Champion 6. The
Wyoming ore is slightly richer in free
gold. The sulphurets run from $50 to $l00
per ton, being quite uniform as to value
The Merrifield vein is 500 feet east of the
Champion; the Wyoming is 400 feet west
of the Champion.

Probably the beSt-poSted man as to its
value and characteristics is Fred Zeitler,
superintendent and general manager of the
Champion mine. Mr.. Zeitler's acquaint-
ance with the contact dates back some
twenty years, and his experience with its
dips, spurs and angles during that period
has been intimate and varied. Many
other men have firted with the "old
lady," but have been more or less incon-
slant, and have finally cast her off. Mr..

ated to-day than ever. He ENORMOUSLY

The Champion was first known as the
Irish mine, some twenty-five years ago.
The first work done was on what is known
as New Years tunnel, commencing ct
Deer Creek and following in on the vein.
This tunnel was continued at different
times until it attained length of 5000 feet,
the depth from the surface at its termna-
ton exceeding 500 feet. 1t has always
served since as a drain tunnel for subse-
quent workings down to its level.
The FIST mill was erected on the prop
erty in 1885, having ten stamps. These
were run continuously and prohtably I'M
til ten years ago, when new mill of
thirty stamps was erected and a chlorina-
ton plant OF four tons per day capacity

to be richer bigger and better in every way
than ever. 1t is visible on every thorough
fare in Nevada City, in the Improvements
completed and projected. 1t is visible in
men faces, which are animated with hope
and confidence, instead of being marked
with dependency, as was almost uniYer-
sally the case less than five years ago. In
single month the Champion mine has
paid ont 1874 600 for labor and material in
Nevada City, not including the money
spent Tor necessary supplies from below.
There are five working shafts on the
Champion claims, two being on the con-
tact vein two on the Merriheld and one on
the Wyoming. Run at their full capacity,
500 tons of ore per day might easily be pro-
duced. The principal work being done
now IS through the south shaft of the
the old mill and the new. This shaft is
now down 1900 feet, and the lowest level is
the 1900. Slopes are opened up and ore
IS being extracted from the 200 level to the
1000 level. At the 1000 level the ore chutes

from two or three feet to sixteen feet of

often several inches thick. At the 1900
level the largest of these ore chuteS is now
beng opened up and is apparently going
to be larger and stronger than ever.

The Black Kingdom.

One of the agents of the American Bible
Society recently related the following ex-
traordinaiy incident OF his trip through
Franklin County, from which he had inst
returned. There is small farming COM
munity up there among the hills, some
what remote from the regular routes of
travel, and which is known in the vicinity
as the "Black Kingdom"
The Bible agent visited this neighbor-
hood and walked up into the dooryard of
the first house. There seemed to be no
one at home, but before he had time to
knock at the door he was surprised and
startled by most teroclous and unex-
pected attack.
A big Plymouth Rock rooster came at
him like battering ram, with lowered
bill and Tapping wings. The Bible agent
recovered himself and kicked out franti-
cally at the enemy. Luckily his foot
struck 1t in the breast and over went the
rooster. But the fierce old clatterer was
up and at him again like flash.
This time well-directed kick sent the
bird rolling over and over. But 1T gathered
itself for another rush and the Bible agent
seized hoe that was leaning against the
house and raised it on high. This some
what daunted the rooster. 1t stopped
short, raised itself on its toes, gave utter
ance to three defiant crows and then re-
treated in good order with stately tread.
The Bible agent found that there was
nobody in tie house. AS he continued on
his way he soon met some men in the hay
field. He shouted out: ''Look here, il you
don't look out for that rooster of yours
he'll kill somebody or get killed himself "
At this time the men almost rolled on
the ground with laughter. One of them
came up and explained that the boys had
