There is a promising field open for
young physicians in South Africa. Ac-
cording TO a letter received BY the Lon
don Telegraph from a lady who PROBES.
ses TO know South Africa we'll, the
openings for good doctors are numerous
and inviting. She says: 1.-THE scarcity
Of medical men in South Africa is very
great, and their numbers are very in
adequate for the population. l am
speaking Of Cape Town, johannesburg
and Bsrberton. There seems to be no
reliable o%culist. optician or dentist in
either Of these places. A lady who
has recently gone to johannesburg
with her children, writes that people
residing there and requiring an optician
must 20 to Durham. All who can al
ford it come home to have their eyes
and teeth attended to, and, as this is
expensive and inconvenient, many
suffer much pain and injury. Many
ladies endure the fatigue oil travel and
come to England when they require
special care, rather than place them
selves in the hands Of the doctors at
present available. / understand the
mortality in Johannesburg is appall-
ing. Many are there quite alone, and,
having no M to attend them in sick
ness, go to the hospital, where they
usually die. l should state that the
patients are not admitted free, but pay
about $40 weekly. 1t seems to me
most strange that this state Of things
should exist, especially as there are 80
many doctors here who complain Of q
scarcity OF PATIENTS"

The Salt Lake Tribune Of a recenl
date says: Two men bearing between
them a small parcel walked into the
National Bank Of the Republic and
placed it upon the desk of Cashier
Knox and he began to strip the wrap
per from il. This accomplished a big
yellow bar Of gold went into the vault.
The bar was weighed in at a less than
$40, 200. and that amount was placed
10 the credit Of Tom WINNER and A.
Nebeker Of Payson, the gentlemen who
brought in the bar.
Cashier Knox undertook to learn
from his customers what mine had pro-
duced the bar, but failed. as they were
not prepared to divulge more than it
had been procured from a property in
Yellow Pine District, Nye county, Ne
vada, and that in a primitive way they
had milled it from the ores that showed
free gold in considerable quantity. The
run through which the bar had been
obtained said Mr.. WINNER. had been
q trial one, and it having been demon.
strated to his satisfaction that "a dis
trict that promises to come forward as
a rival Of Cripple Creek has been dis
covered" They would say nothing
concerning it until after January LIST.
1t is not unlikely that the property
is near that in which Hon. A. G..
Campbell and others are interested, in
Yellow Pine District, and that the OBJ
ject Of Messrs. WINNER and Nebeker
in Withholding the particulars Of their
discovery is to acquire additional terri
tory. Cashier Knox pronounces the
bar as pretty a specimen Of fine gold
as ever passed through the bank.

A young lady had her trunk hauled
to the passenger depot last evening to
have it checked. Baggage Master Sam
pie. aided by his assistants, got the
trunk on the scales and found that il
weighed slightly less than 800 pounds,
and as the requirements are that no
piece of baggage weighing over 25O
pounds can be checked, the young lady
was in a dilemma. The time was toe
short to allow repacking, and Miss -
was compelled to trust to n OF her
friends to box the trunk and forward
it to her by freight. There was con-
siderable good-natured comments on
the heft Of the piece OF baggage. Ger
tainly a woman car get more in a small
trunk than most men can in q four

Conner Mines sold.

George Lovelock, of Lovelock, has
disposed of the White Cloud copper
mines in northern Churchill, near the
Humboldt line, to IN Eastern company
for $4,000. The money was paid over
to Mr.. Lovelock at the Bank OF Nevada
last week, says the Reno Journal, and
he decided the property to the COM
pany. This is quite a little plum for
Mr.. Lovelock and will enable him to
take things easier. He is one OF the

timers, has had his ups and downs.
He has been engaged in mining 80
years and has made and spent several
respectable fortunes.

Slept Twenty Years In . Coffin.
1t is seldom that a man dies in a cof-
fin, but that is exactly what old Bar
ney Frickers of Alliance, o., did when
he finally gave up the ghost in the
Fall of 1890. For more than 20 years
old Barney had been haunted with the
idea that he was on the verge OF the
grave. Every evening he declared
that he would never again see the sun
rise. He constantly brooded over his
queer h~allucination and eve allowed
himself to go to sleep without being
carefully prepared for death and burial.
Every night he robed himself in his
grave clothes and solemnly laid down
in his coffin and passed the night firm
ly believing and probably hoping that
for him the day would never dawn
again. Finally death came; but, grim
and sly as he was, he did not find old
Barney u~nprepared. The coffin in
which this queer old character had SC
often awakened disappointed was Of
his own make and was said to have
been a curiosity in itself, being liter
ally covered with all kinds, patterns
and sizes of allegorical carving.-St
Louis Republic.
