49, ~

known persons made an attempt to
wreck the limited express on the Chi
cago & Northwestern railway that
passes through this place about 1879
tonight. The would-be wreckers piled
ties and planks across the tails, and
had it not been for an extra freight
going south, the engineer of which
saw the obstruction in time to stop,
there would have been bad wreck.

WOOD TURNED TO STONE,

Pecuiiar Eject the "Creeping Clay- in
comstock Lode Has Upon Timbers.
In half dozen mining offices in San
Francisco there are small slabs of hard
black wood, four by ten inches, that
always puzzle strangers, especially
workers in wood from the east These
four-inch slabs were once seventeen
by-seventeen inch timbers of Nevada
pine, and their present condition is
due to the fact that for a few We ars
they were subjected to tremendous
pressure exerted by millions upon mil
lions OF tons of earth. The fibers of
this wood are SO closely crowded to-
gether that when polished the slabs
look more like stone than wood.
All the history of the Comstock
lode, speaking recently of this wood
governed and regulated as it has al.
ways been by men in San Francisco, is
peculiar, but of all the stories in the
mines of this lode there is none more
peculiar than the Creeping clay" and
the compressed timbers. From 1874 to
1877 the Big Bonanza was worked
down to fifteen-hundred-foot level.
but at one thousand one hundred feet
the managers stopped and concluded
to drift off to the east This brought
them to position where a large pro-
portion OF side of a mountain was
pressing upon the quartz bed There
was body of ore shaped like water
melon and in size about equal to four
Palace hotels. 1t was this ore that
made the fortunes of SO many men.
There was wall running down at an
angle of about forty-fve degrees and
this wall marked the limits of the
loose earth which contained this wa.
termelon of ore, and this same loose
earth was continually moving.
Immediately surrounding the lump
of ore was clay, and this clay so moved
and crept in the natural process Of
natures action that by the miners it
was called creeping clay" and watch
ed continually. So irresistible was it's
force that nothing could stand against
it. From the even-hundred-foot level
the drift was set in toward this body
of ore. There was gallery where the
car ran along for the taking out of the
ore, and from this gallery ran the
smaller drifts. Above, below and on
the sides of these smaller drifts there
were heavy timbers of Nevada pine.
There was between the timbers space
of about, on the average, seven feet in
height and five in width. There were
square sets, and it was these timbers
that. by the action of the loose earth
around them, were so compressed that
pieces of them look more like stone
than wood Francisco Chronicle.

A few nights after we got settled, we
were Weakened by woman screaming
'murder!" 1t proved to be our next

chasing her about the back yard with
an AK. A few days later, my wife had
occasion to drop into the house of an

evenings without his permission. But

the husband and his wife got into

her husband wouldn't take her out
