The following are two OF the connect

quin Valley railroad after leaving Cal
ifornia. Following are the surveys OF
the Salt Lake, Los Angeles and Pacific
railroad, the route then runs to Rest
ing Springs, through F~orty-nine Can
yon to Crystal Springs. Nevada being
crossed, the line will enter Iron county.
Utah. and according to n plan, reach
Eastern connections at Denver. Ac-
cording to another proposition, how
ever, the road will run to Milford, and
thence by an extension OF the Utah
Southern to Salt Lake City and Ogden,
where all Eastern connections may
also be obtained. The Salt Lake City
route will probably be followed, as the
Mormons are now in the possession OF
rights OF ways and terminal facilities
through all their country, and better
terms may be made with them than
by the Denver people.

SCIENTIFIC TuIEyERY.

II the reports regarding the stealing
at the Carson Mint are true it was con-
Quoted on the most scientific princi-
pies. Silver bars we're galvanized with
copper and made to do duty as gold
bars when inspectors from the Treas
ury Department were sent to examine
the Mint. Those spurious bars bore
the brand Of the Assayer's Department
and passed for the genuine article when
placed on exhibition among gold bars.
Some Of those bars were melted about
two months ago and their fraudulent
character was discerned and reported
at once to the Treasury officials at
Washington. An investigation fol-
lowed, the full results OF which have
not yet been made public. Secret Ser
vice Agent Harris, however, made a
discovery which has been given to the
public. He finds that the gold pieces
coined at the Carson Mint during the
past eight or ten years contains a
greater percentage of alloy and less
gold than coins made at other minis.
1t seems that the adroit thieves were
not satisfied with substituting bogus
genuine gold bars, but debased the
coins which they minted.
IT.. ~- "
the thieves who were entrusted with
the refining and coinage of gold and
silver at the Carson Mint has not yet
been made known. 1t seems that sci
entifc thievery had been carried on
there for years, and it is probable that
those who profted most by the rob-
berry will never be brought to justice.

Had a Return Ticket.

A story is going the rounds about a
Sturgeon May rustic who saw his first
train last Summer. He stepped up to
the ticket agent at the depot and said
that lie wanted to take a ride on THAT
ere train" The agent asked him how
far, and finally elected the information
that the man had only 80 cents and
wanted to go as far as he could and re-
turn, and accordingly gave him a ticket.
The rustic boarded the train and took
a seat next to the window. The train
started and gradually increased in
speed. The passenger jumped up and
down with calculations OF pleasure so
great that he finally commenced to
swear. A minister of the gospel, who
sat in front OF him, turned around and
said:
"Say, young man, do you know you
are going to hadesP"
The young man turned his attention
to the divine and said: 81 don't give
a d-n; I've got q return ticket. Mill

Printing In d

In India printers get 81 a month and
pressmen 81. They, as a rule, sup
port families and never strike for
higher wages. The amount seems
small, but it is about all they earn.
Fast c~ompositors are unknown. When
a printer is given a piece OF copy he
goes home and spends a week study
ng over it to decide the best way to
yet it up. When he gets down to work
he reaches for a letter, and after SHOW
ing it in place goes outside, lights a
pipe and smokes awhile, while a fe-
male attendant fans him. II the
weather is pleasant, he goes back in
the course Of an hour and puts another
letter in place. He generally lays off
a couple Of weeks in the month to rest
and shoot crocodiles, for which he is
locked a dollar. He gets up about a
galley a month on an average, with the
assistance OF two female subs under
pay, and some slave girls who work
for nothing.

Lion Against Grizzly.

In a bull ring at New Loredo, Mex
leo, a few days ago, the African lion,
Parnell, fought a terrible battle with
an enormous grizzly bear Of the Amer
lean type. The animals fought des-
perately until completely exhausted,
neither was killed. II was a bloody
combat. The crowd went wild when
twice the grizzy threw his African op-
ponent so hard upon the ground that
once, had time been called according
to the usual rules, the lion would have
been counted out. Throughout the
lion showed more agility and treach-
cry, but TO the bear must be given the
palm for stubbon, solid strength. Par
nell is owned by Colonel Boone, the
lion tanner, and is the beast that killed
his keeper at the Midwinter Fair. The
bear was larger and heavier than the
lion and q secured at New Orleans,
where he killed two keepers. The fight
took place in a large circular steel cage
twenty feet in diameter and fifteen feet
HIGH.

Not for ten years has there been
such a demand for beef cattle as pre-
walls this Spring, and as a result the
ranges are almost depleted. There is
hardly a beef steer in Nevada, south
eastern Oregon. or that portion Of Cal
ifornia lying east Of the sierras, while
last year there were fully $4,000 head
seeking a market on the west side OF
the mountains. Eastern buyers have
cleaned up all the beef in this section,
and stock cattle have gone up abouts 81
per head. There Is a better feeling
now among the stockmen than for
many years past.-Silver State.

The Ex.aeen,s Life I'm Prison.

An Indianapolis correspondent says
that a letter has been received from Q.
@. Wharton, an indianapolis man, who
is a member of the National Guard do
ing duty over ex-Queen L~iliuokalini at
Honolulu. Wharton says: THE *
Queen is a prisoner up stairs over our
barracks. She is allowed woman at
tendants all the time, and as the ma
tives are all musicians they seem to
enjoy themselves. Their time is mostly
spent in singing and dancing This is
the way the ex.Queen is expected to
pass the next five years." Wharton
says the islands are at present a poor
place for capital seeking investments,
as the opinion is general that another
rebellion may break out at any time.
In this event, Wharton says, the Jap
anese will take a hand.

every day in New York and Europe,

havinglost all he had gambling, offered
his daughter for $50, with which he

1t is often the same with the man OF
civilization. He loses all he has in
speculation and Immediately looks
around to see who will give the most

the two cases? Nothing, except that

A young man named Nathan Hurst,
who says he is a resident OF San Fran
cisco, visited the Office Of the Sheriff Of
Sacramento and told an interesting
story Of his experience on a triptoward
Virginia City on a bicycle. He resem-
bled the missing train robber some
what, and was stopped by officers thir-
teen times, until he became tired of
the annoyance and concluded to return
home. At each place he procured a

officer and went on, but he had to go
through the same experience in each
town. He left Sacramento on a steamer

There is a man in Salt Lake who
claims to have discovered a vegetable
compound that ripens" gold ore.
According to his theory ore is ripened
through the juices OF the vegetation
which grows above it. The rock may
contain many thousands of dollars
worth Of gold, but until it is ripened
by coming in contact with the vege-
table juices it is not discovered by as
says or otherwise. According to this
genius, by treating gold rock with this
solution the bearing capacity is in
creased at a ratio Of about $4,000 to
one Ore that goes only a trace, after
being subjected to this treatment will
mill s17 900 or SIS, 900 per ton. II this
theory proves tangible. gold will be
demonetized sure.-Moiave Miner.
