! A dispatch from Eovils Lake says
that novel opium-smuggling scheme
has just been discovered. 1t is being
worked on the border north Of there,
whereby tho United States government
is losing big money in dutics. Parties,
it is alleged buy old oxen for S. or $40.
roll opium in lead or tin foil balls, force
these down tho throats of tho oxen,, and
drive tho loaded cattle across the line,
valuing tho owen at noxt to nothing.
They drive on till the oxon give out.
when they cut their throats. extract the
opium balls and ship them east as
merchandise. Two old oxen alone are
said to have carried over enough opium
balls in this way to have saved the long
headed buyers 8280O in duty. The
balls are placed over tho palate aud arc
thus swallowed whole. Whom the
paunch is attorward cut open. they
como out perfectly sound. Two broth
ers are said to have made $4,000 in
this business in short time.-(irand
