turned last week from visit to Salt
Lake.
Frank Martindale arrived from
Carson last Tuesday. He will run
the engine in the Wilson mill when it
starts up.
AL. Helm met with serious acct
dent in the Wheeler mine last Tues
day. He thought his chute was emp
ty, and went up in it to sweep it out
preparatory to running ore through,
and when about half way up an ava
lanche of waste rock and earth that
had been fast there came down upon
him, completely burying him. He
managed to move his right hand lin
which he held his candlestick) high
enough to make breathing place,
and in that way saved himself from
suffocation. He was buried there for
four hours, and only when his part
ner came home to supper was he
missed, aud search commenced. He
was carried home and it was found
that no bones were broken, but his
legs were numb and useless, and al
though the men worked with him all
night they did not oucceed in restor-
ing circulation, and he was taken to
Yerington on Wednesdays stage for
medical treatment.
Miss May closed her school on tn e

]. W. Wilson has laid pipe line
from the spring about mile above
camp and will use that water in con-
centrating the tailings, which will
save the expense Of pumping water
from the mill, as there is good flow
of water with heavy pressure. Work
has been seriously delayed on account
of the stormy weather, but they ex
pect to be working tailings before
the end of the month. A load OF lum-
Der from Antelope Valley will arrive

More Suspects.

The Carson News says: The fact
that q number Of detectives are still
lowering about the Carson Mint has
led many to believe that more arrests
will be made. The detectives are try
ing to find where Jones disposed of
bullion, and it is rumored the iron
will strike in Gold Hill or vicinity.
Some of the Government officials
have a theory that there are yet
seven or eight bars of mint bullion
secreted somewhere that have never
been converted into coin.

John Poole and D. L. West. The
purchasers were DR.. G. B. Pfoutz
and c. L. Wilbur of Salt Lake City.
and the price, $40, 900, was paid in
full.
J. A, Waddell started out for the
southern part Of the county yester-
day for the purpose of placing guide
boards in position, in purs lance of a
contract with the Board of County
Commissioners. The contract was
let to A. Summerfeld, who sublet it
to Mr.. Waddell and George Webster.
Webster will put up the boards on
all roads in the northwestern part of
the county and Waddell will cover
the balance.
The bicycle craze has struck Haw-
thorne. Jim Lotlrop has an anti
quated machine and for the past
week all the young men in town have
been practicing on it. On Monday
last Johnny Miller ordered seven
machines for the following persons:
J. D. Lothrop, J, H. Miller, J. E.
Adams, S. M. Summerfeld, O. D.
ingalls,, G. P. Mengel aud Ben Ros-
enthal. A number of ladies are also
contemplating the purchase of wheels.
Our slumbering village was star
tied by violent changing of the fire
bell last Friday at midnight. The
cause of the alarm was the burning
of the cabin south of Earl's corral,
belonging to M. Caravantes. 1t seems
that Caravantes, who had been in
dulging in too much firewater, made
a fire in the middle of the floor to
keep warm by, as is his custom in
the hills. Before he was aware of it
the fire had caught the walls. The
cabin and contents were destroyed.
THERE is every reason to believe
that the wave of speculation which
for some time has been sweeping
westward from Europe has at last
struck San Francisco. During the
week an excitement broke out sud-
denly on Pine Street, which has been
gradually increasing with the steady
inflow OF money to the market. The
advance was due in the first instance
to strike in the Chollar portion OF
the Brunswick lode, following upon
the important development of ore in
the Occidental. Chollar has been the
king pin of the market, and its strong
and steady strides to the front have
brought other stocks up at a rate
which has surprised the bear element
as much as any one else in the bust
ness. 1t is now said that work will
again be taken up in lower levels of
Con. Cal & Va, where considerable
ore is available for extraction. There
is every indication of lively times
ahead on the street in the near fu-
ture. Francisco News Letter.

The Industrious yelIoVlam,ner

William R. O'Neill, of the Pacific
vinegar factory, roticed a yellowham
mer industriously at work one day re.
Gently on the siding of the factory
building. Mr.. ONeill watched the
bird for some time, and inside of an
hour it had cut q round hole two or
three inches in diameter through the
inch planking. Mr.. O'Neill is not a
mean man, and if the bird cared to
make its home in his vinegar factory,
why, it was all right. Next day, how
ever, he noticed that the yellowham.
mer was engaged on another hole.
cts for q back door," thought the
owner Of the building. But after it
had finished the back door it cheer
fully went to work on the other holes,
probably for windows. BY the time
there were fifteen holes in the side of
the factory Mr.. O'Neill concluded,,that
the yellowhammer was taking liberties
with his property. So he obtained
permission from the Chief of Police to
shoot it. For a whole day the office
boy and Mr.. O'Neill's brother banged
away without feazing the little bird,
and it was finally necessary to employ
on expert marksman to bring it down.
The marksman charged fifty cents for
his services. and Mr.. O'Neill also lost
the best part OF a day mailing boards
over the holes IN the planking. Port.

Crippled, But Lively.

Il is q we'll known fact that nature
makes partial amends for the loss o.
one faculty by strengthening those
444t to MS. The loss Of sight is fol-
lowed by an extraordinary acuteness
OF the sense of sound. There are
several blind men well known about
New York who thread the crowded
sections Of Broadway with apparently
as much ease as those who can see.
They go about fearless Y, ignoring the
dangers of cable a trucks and
trolleys without even t le assistance Of
the -~fitional dog, tt ,sting wholly in
the soura of the stal1, on the pave
ment.
There ish cripple who hdsnts the
vicinity Of seventy-frst street and
First avenue, laypaAling himself on 8
crude little board on wheels by mean
of his hands. His wIthered limbs are
twisted up beneath him, useless from
birth. But his powerful arms take the
place of both legs and feet. He can
roll along through the crowded
thoroughtares, across the streets, and
dodge the trucks and trans with
astonishing celebrity and certainty. He
is known to the entire neighborhood,
and he is practically the boss of the
ward. People seem to have much re.
spect for his Judgment on their various
affairs, and he is consulted as often as
a Tammany leader. Sometimes the
street urchins attemrtto take liberties
with him. They never do it twice.

his board on his hands, with a leap
like that Of a kangaroo, and grabbing
a boy by the leg and shaking all the
courage out of him, which has earned
him the respect of the knowing ones.
He can whip a man of twice bis size
and weight. All he wants is to get his
enemy within reach, and it is done.

Too Strongly E~pigrammatic,

"Epigrammatic sentences are inter-
esting, but there is such a thing as be.
ing too strongly epigrammatic," said
K. +. Barnett, Of Louisville, at the
Shoreham. 81 was going into Louis.
vile from Memphis. On the train was
a white haired old lady, with whom
chance drew me into conversation.
We became quite friendly, and she
told me that she was going to visit her
son, whom she had not seen for two or
three years. He had written q few
weeks before, asking her to visit him
at Louisville, naming a certain hotel.
She arranged her affairs as quickly as
possible and went. At the depot she
was greatly disappointed not to meet
her son, and I accompanied her to the
hotel, it being the one I was in the
habit Of patronizing. [ took her to
the parlor and volunteered to find her
son. The clerk had not seer him, but
gave ne letter for the lady. As soon
as she read the first line she tainted,
and l hurriedly sent for a physician,
picking up the letter. The first para.
graph was: My Dear Mother: I am
now in the penitentiary.' I was
shocked, but read further. The next
paragraph said: i have a good posi-.

Electric Piows.

The most popular forms of electric
plows are the small fitting plows adapt.
ed for private farming purposes.
These are provided with two pillow.
shares on either side, while in front
of these is q forocutter, which pre-.
pares the ground. The plow is made
entirely OF steel, and IS SO strong that
it is powerful enough to cut burrows
to the depth of one foot in the hardest
kind of soil. The pillow is also pro-
vided with an ingenious arrangement
of underground iooseners, which fol-
low the pillow and loosen the sub-soil
to a depth OF sixteen inches, but with.
out turning it Vel. An electric mo.
tor is mounted on the pillow frame.
The speed of these plows may be in.
creased indefinitely merely by turn
ing the switch on the electric motor
to a higher peg. In ordinary soil
these plows have developed the speed
of a little more than 25S feet per
minute.

THE WEEPING WOMAN.

"Sbould women wcep?" IS the topic
of discussion by the readers Of Woman,
a London publication. One contrltn-
tor puts in a most emphatic "No! The
crying woman, it is maintained, is out
of date-she belongs to h 4 q and
sos, not to this end OF the century.
Woman was then Il submissive slave
and mar the righteous ruler. Now all
is changed. The new woman is here,
and she rules; therefore she should not
cry.
In the opinion Of another writer, a
woman should cry, provided she does
so "noiselessly." eff her face begins
to swell. all walls should cease, and she
must not sniff, gulp or otherwise make
IN object of herself. If she does all the
pathos OF her crying is gone" Tue
idea is thrown out that style" in weep
ing should be cultivated; for there are
several forms Of weeping. Some
weep alone to their pillows in the dead
OF night" This, it is held, is a mistake,
because it makes the weeper old and
ugly before her time and does not do
anybody the slightest good.
Then there is the woman who is cry
Ing at every opportune and inoppor-
tune moment. That is bad form in
weeping. The "whimpering style, with
a grievance, usually found in the past
middle-age lady" should be Stunned.
The worst form Of all is the "red-faced
cry of temper" which usually asserts
itself in IN injudicious stamp Of thu
beautiful arched Trilby and ends in a
general stampede of the assembled
multitude.

WHEN WASHING THE HAIR.

AS a hair wash and tonic the lemon
has no rival. For the former purpose
4 large juicy lemon should be cut in
half, the head dipped into a bowl of
water, from which the chill only must
be removed, and the water made of the
same temperature as the air-and the
lemon rubbed and squeezed vigorously
among the roots and along the length
OF h hair. Soak and rub the head
well in this bath, and then rinse
thoroughly in fresh water of the same
warmth. If well dried at once with
energetic toweling there will never be
the smallest danger of cold. No SOAP
Is needed; the acid Of the lemon abso-
luteiy removes all grease and dust, and
the hair. after such a bath, is soft.
glossy and clean. This lemon bath
once a week will have the most bena-
hcial effect upon the hair; stimulating
Its growth, delaying the coming Of
grayness and make it beautifully
pliable and polished.

Trans ,o'ortation OF Bank Notes.

United Estates Treasurer Morgan
has issued a circular revoking that of
November II, 1898, which required
the charges for the transportation of
National bank notes to the Treasurer
of the United States for redemption,
under the act of June 20, 1874, to be
paid by the senders. In explanation
OF this action, it is said at the Treas
ury that, under the present arrange
ment, the banks at the Eastern money
centers are constantly receiving re-
mittances in National bank notes from
the country banks, and as these notes
cannot be used as lawful reserve, the
Eastern bankers are compelled to send
them to the Treasury for redemption
at their own expense. They complain
that this arrangement entails an un-
just burden, which should be distrib-
uted among the banks of issue. This
view is shared by the Treasury officials,
and hence the new order. Hereafter,
at the end of the year the cost of
transporting National. bank notes to
the Treasury for redemption will be
charged against each bank of issue,
according to the amount of it's notes
redeemed during the year.-Washing-

In DOtiticaldebate,


Sweet tho song OF the thrush at dawning,
When the grass lies wet with spangled dew;
Sweet the sound of the brooks low whisper
Md reeds and rushes wandering through;
Clear and pure is the west winds murmur
That croons in the branches all day long;
But the songs unsung are the sweetest music
Andthe dreams that die are the soul OF song.
The falrest hope is the one which faded.
The brightest leaf is the leaf that fell:
The song that leaped from the lips of sirens
Dies away in an Old sea-shell.
Far to the heights Of viewless fancy
h souls swift flight like a swallow goes.
For the note uGheard is the birds best carol
And the bud unknown is the reddest rose.
Deepest thoughts are the ones u%nspoken,
That only the heart sense, listening, hears:
Most great joys bring q touch OF silence.
GREG 6st grief is in unshed tears.
What we hear is the fleeing echo,
A song dies out, but n dream lives on;
rose-red tints Of the rarest morning
Are lingering yet in a distant dawn,
Somewhere, dim in the days to follow
n far ava in the life to be,
RAISING sweet. is 4 song of gladness-
The splrlt-chant of the soul set free.

That never rise from the harp unstrung.
We turn our steps to the years bevond ms,

Flowers Grow On an IsIand's CiniIer.

When the island volcano Krakatoa.
at the northwest end of Sunatra.
blew up thirteen years ago. destroying
over a hundred thousand lives, every
vestige of vegetable life was de.
stroyed. An observer after the erup-
tion found that what was left of the
island was red hot. Four years later
a naturalist found that the ashes had
cooled enough to allow plants to grow
and that 246 different species of
plants had started up, the seeds for
many of which must have been blown
across the surrounding water.
