The method by which opium is man
ufactured is interesting to observe, al
though a sickening odor pervades the
atmosphere and will cause a novice to
become deathly i'll. The balls Of crude
opium are slit open. moistened with
water and boiled to apaste. This paste
is dried, remoistened, and again boiled,
after which 1t is strained. Il goes
through this process several times,
each time being carefully strained and
all foreign substance removed until 1t
has a rich brown color. The drug is
boiled in large hemispherical brass
cans about 20 inches in diameter. The
other untensils consist OF a bamboo
filter, sprinklers. strainers and pots.
When it is properly boiled down it is
sealed up in brass tins containing six
ounce each. The factories in China
can manufacture q better quality Of
opium for 81 so less a pound than the
factories on the Pacific coast. A good
opium cook in China is paid $40 q
month, and at Victoria $40 a month.
A days work consists Of refining two
and a half balls Of crude opium. For
each additional ball refined it is us
tomary to pay the cook 80 cents.

A Revival OF witchcrafs.

The days OF witchcraft have been re-
vived at Brazil, Ind. Two months ago
a man named Stapleton, aged go, mar
ried a Miss Johnson, aged 16 years.
Two weeks ago the wife left her hus-
band, returning to her parents. since
which she is controlled by mysterious
influences, under which she has spas
modic spells. They prey heavily upon
her, both physically and mentally.
She alleges that her husband has be-
witched her and seeks redress in the
courts. The most peculiar phase Of
the phenomenal case is that by his
black arts. as the wife alleges the hus-
band has transformed her into a horse
and repeatedly has ridden her under
cover Of darkness to a point Of exhaus-
ton. The young wife's brother threat
ened the life OF her husband, whose
son has filed a complaint praying that
he be compelled to execute a bond for
the surety of the peace. The situation
is becoming complicated and sensa-
tional.

The Grip Infectious.

Influenza is again epidemic in Eu-
rope, and seems to be most severe in
England. The doctors are agreed there
that it is infectious. 1t is severe, but
not so fatal as when it appeared some
six years or SO ago, probably because
the physicians know now how to treat
it more successfully. The dispatches
say that the English doctors are unan-
imous in advising against the use of
quinine and anti-pyrene preparations,
but advise inducement of p~rofuse pers-
piration. The disease has appeared in
the Eastern States and appears to be
slowly pushing Westward. Warning
thus early may enable the cautious. by
careful regulation of their habits and
diet to avoid it, or be we'll prepared for
its visitation.

The Division Bill Defeated.

The bill to polandize Washoe county
was indefinitely postponed in the Sem
ate a few days ago by a vote Of 10 to 4.
This disposes Of the proposition for
this session, and probably for all time.
The bill was one of the most unjust
that was ever given consideration in a
legislative body. 1t did not have the
support OF the best element Of Storey
county. The people OF Lyon repudi-
ated it and disclaimed all connection
with the scheme. 1t was conceived in
the lobby with the hope that Washoe
would expend money to defeat it. This
hope was not realized, but the bill
passed the House, nevertheless, by a
vote of II to 10, and a motion to recon-
slider the vote by which il passed was
defeated.
Well informed persons never for a
moment believed that the bill would
pass the Senate. The members Of that
body are self-respecting and are not
disposed to partition this or any other
county without particularly bene6ting
any other section and they indefinitely
postponed the bill by a majority of
nearly three to one, considering that
Mr.. Wise, who would have voted
against it, was absent on account OF
sickness.

THE IRON MOUNTAIN MINE.

From Redding, CAL, il is asserted
that the new company which recently
bought the Iron Mountain mine are
straining every energyin the prelimin-
airy work, preparatory to building a
b~road-gauge railroad to the mine and
securing q site for the great copper
mating smelter-the largest on the
American continent-which they hope
TO have in operation before the LIST Of
October. The capacity Of their plant
will not be less than 1000 tons daily I;
maybe 1900 tons OF Iron Mountain
ore. That will give a local market for

REPEAL.
The 6O-Day Limit Clause Passes
Halh H0maea.

Inc oO-Day Limht lhhuso f6sses
Both Houses.
The legislative correspondent OF the
Reno Gazette writes the following:
The Senate on the 9th instant re-
pealed the 50-day limit clause in the
Act Of the Sixteenth session, but not
the one limiting the aggregate per diem
amount for each member to $400, which
is exhausted at the expiration Of fifty
days. So the patriotic and industrious
Assemblymen who complained OF lack
Of sufficient time TO finish up their
work, can 90 ahead and labor to their
hearts content ten days longer, but
nary a sheckel from the treasury will
be forthcoming in remuneration there
for. 1t is not probable that II the Sem
ate had passed the Assembly bill, $500
claim and all, that the Controller would
have drawn his warrants for any ex-
penses accruing after the fifty days.
There is both a constitutional and stat
utory prohibition to the extension Of a
term OF Office during the incumbency
of the person elected for such term,
and as every legislator was elected for
only a fifty days term, under the Cir
cumstances no pay a be drawn be-
yond that time. In fact il is question
able, so | have been assured by lega
authority, whether this legislature can
legally extend its " term, even with
out payment, and whether any laws
enacted after the fifty days would hold
water. A resolution for a joint commit
tee TO confer in regard 10 the matter,
was accepted. and the Senate members
appointed. The Senate has taken its
position and will probably not recede.
in fact. it can hardly do so now with
any degree OF consistency, dignity, or
decency. 1t has given the Assembly
ample time in which to pass the gene
raj appropriation bill before the fifty
days are up. II can either do that or
pass the Senate bill and serve the re-
mainder OF the extended term without
pay. II 1t refuees to do either, IL will
be an acknowledgment that 1t was &C
tuated solely by the desire to gobble
ten days extra per diem. The Senate
has done all it can honorably do, and,
il through the ~cussedness Of a majority
in the Assembly, an extra session has
to be called, no reasonable person can
hold the Senate responsible Tor it.

tanned a serious fracture OF n OF her

results are anticipated. II is expected

Physicians declare that tits injurious

who have been unduly frightened by
the opinion that they must not a tlate
