Gypsum Mine TO be Worked.

The Dayton Times says that an in
dustry that will put another piece of
property in Lyon County on the tax
list is about to be inaugurated. The
immense deposit of gypsum lying ION
the Carson river near the Mound
II ouse is to be worked. This material
will be mined and transported to the
mill at the stone quarry on the river,
where it will be ground into a condi-
ton fit for use for stucco work, etc.
The deposit is but short distance
from the Y. & 7. railroad, and the
material can be landed at the mill at
very little expense. It is believed
there will he quite demand for the
pulyerizsd gypsum in this state for
tertiliz'ng purposes.

Miners Return From Alaska.

Miners Return From Alaska.
Some 200 miners returned from the
Alaska placer mines on the Yukon at
Forty Mile and Birch Greek on the
steamer Bertha which arrived at San
Francisco day before yesterday. Most
of them brought down gold from their
washings, and a majority will return
next season. None brought large
fortunes. The most that any one had
was 80 pounds or about $40, 900. One
of the miners gave the following in
Formations regarding placer mining in
Alaska
'sAn outfit costs $500 or $500 and
the season is only about three months
long, SO enc needs rich gravel to make
expenses.
Wages are $40 day and ground
that pays So or $40 day only will
not be touched. Lumber costs $40 a
thousand. 1t costs $40 hundred
pounds to get freight from Circle
City 80 miles up Birch Creek to the
mines. The mines being worked are
the shallow placers along the creeks
and at all times of the year this is
frozen at least within two feet of sur
face.
There were in the different creeks
this season about 1000 men. OF course
a large number of them did not make
anything, and would not advise any
one to go there next season to look for
work. There is considerable rich
ground to be found, but men should
go in prepared to meet with failure
for a time.
'tThere has been no prospecting
done for quartz, although there is

temporary and, If possible, a permanent
sort. Then the lawyers would so succeed
in tangling things up that the wires would
remain overhead for many months and
maybe years to come, while the public
would wonder what an anti-overhead wire
law amounted to, and would jeer and point
the finger of scorn ct the municipal au-
thorities. But it really seems as though
the rulers of the city of Cleveland were
in earnest when they told the electrical
companies to remove the Instructions, so
they did not follow such precedents as
other cities of prominence-notably the
national capitalized provided for the
guidance of all well-governed communi-
ties. No, indeed; those Cleveland folks
simply started a big gang of men at work
with axes and other instruments of de-
struction. and in little while there were
poles to burn and wires to throw at birds
scattered all over the streets of Cleve-
lard AS result of this primitive but
effective effort to give force to a law, the
companies are now putting down conduits
with all possible rapidity; something that
would hardly have come to pass for gen.

From the Philadelphia Press.
The Treasury Department is just rush
ing business on the big post-office build
ing in Washington, for which an appro
priation was made five years ago. The
Washington Star reports that the number
of men at work on the building has been
increased to eishty-four. AS there are
Only twelve men at work on the new coast
defenses at Willets Point. n. Y, there
seems to be a discrimination in favor of
Washington. At the "hustling'' rate
which Secretary Carlisle is pushing things
on the post-office building it may be COM
pleted by the end Of this century, but the
Willets Point works will not be complete ed
until the end of the next century. AS New
York cannot be defended without modern
Notifications at Willets Point it should
