ANOTHER ICE PERIOD.
A Predicted Result of Cutting the Isthmus
 of Panama.


 of Panama.
 "The best scientific authorities pre- dict dire effects from the cutting of a canal through either the Isthmus of Panama or Tehuantepec. The late George R. Marsh said of this that "a new ice period might be occasioned by the withdrawal of so important source of warmth from the northern zones, and Sir John Herschel wrote: Were the Isthmus of Panama broken through there is TO doubt that the whole climate of our island Great Britain) would un dergo most notable deterioation.' The sum of $9,000,000 has been voted by the legislature Of the state of New York for improving the Erie canal sys- tenn; the Hennepin canal has had $1, 100000 spent on it, and work has stopped until new appropriations can be made. Matt Quay is using his influence for the construction of ship canal from Pitts burgh to Lake Erie, to cost SIG, 1000, and ship canal from Philadelphia to New York, besides advocating the ex- PSHuICuic ol foo,ooo,ooo Ill csLudllAlIlS IHe Ohio and Mississippi rivers. One of the most stupendous of these engineering works is the Chicago drainage canal, now in progress, which is to cut the divide which bars the way between Chicago and the Mississippi river. The distance is only 30 miles between Lake Michigan and the Illinois river, and one can easily see the startling nature of union of the great lakes and the father of waters"

A Periodically Humorous Story Told of
 Cumberland Mountain Farmer.
 A writer in the Detroit Free Press tells pathetically humorous story of a friend of his, Jack Negly, Cumber' land farmer. The writer had lent Jack a few dollars, with which to buy par of steers, and had received from him many visits of apology; for Jack was an honest man. and did not enjoy being in debt.
 He was a renter, and at least every other season he was occupying a diff ferent farm. By my advice, he had moved the year before into an entirely new field, a dozen miles from his usual haunts, and I had not seen him for several months. When I did see him, at last, it was by accident as business called me into his neighborhood. As I rode past his place he hailed me from the corn-feld and came out to the fence.
 "Hello," exclaimed. 'sIs this your farm?"
 "Yes, and I jist come over to tell you, colonel, that I'll be ready to pay part of that claim uv your'n afore long," "You must be doing well?'
 q think I'm doing fust-rate, and I'm powerful obleeged to you, colonel, fer headin' me this way"
 "Tm always glad to help, if l can"

 Are you making any money?"
 Jim's face frightened perceptibly.
 'No, I ain't, colcnel," he replied, hope 1 fully; but I'm losin' it slower'n l ever done in my life afore." It struck me as rather odd at first, but upon reflection I concluded that Jim might have reason for his hopefulness

INDIGNANT CITIZENS.
Two Gypsy Girls Released From Jail
 by Crowd of Tempeites.

The city of Tempe is in a state of warfare and the citizens are after the municipal authorities with a ven geance. It all started over the arrest Of two gypsy girls aged II and 15. re- specrlVely. The girls are of party of Brazilian nomads who are canned at Tempe.
 The gypsies are a peaceabIe lot and did nothing to bring them within the reach of the law Friday morning however, the daughter of Constable Fellows, with few companions. went into the gypsy camp and either ac- cldentally or with intent threw some manure and sand into a batch of dough that one of the gypsy girls was mix ing: This aroused the ire of the gypsv girls and they used some hot words and the oldest girl grasped a whip and chased the intruders from the place.
 The Fellows girl complained to her father of what had been done and the officer arrested the two girls. They were brought before Justice Spafford and the oldest was sentenced to pav a line of S15 or be sent to the county iai1 for the period of fifteen days. The youngest girl was not sentenced, but was in the city jail awaiting trial The oldest girl was placed in jail with her sister, but during the day the story got abroad and a body of indignant citi- zens went to tIhe constable and de. manded the jail keys, which were given up and the citizens then marched in a body to the jail and threw open the doors liberatinp the pir1c
 The citizens of the Tempe precinct have been complaining against the numerous petty cases brought before their police court which if brought be- fore a jury would end in the discharge of the offenders in four cases out of five.
 A demand is to be made on the board Of supervisors to investigate the justice court of that precinct.

A MODERN MINE.
Electricity Supplies the Power of the
 Cooperative Mining Go.

H. M. Merriwether, president of the Cooperative Mining and Milling com lpany, came in from his mines yester- day evening and reports that the plant will be ready to begin operations on August, IT, says the Journal-M Miner. This plant is situated on the west bank of the Agua F'ria river five miles east of Rumble Bee, and is perhaps the most modern in the territory Every thing is run by electricity, which will also furnish lights for the mines and the camp. The power is obtained from the water of the Agua Fria, which is run for 7,65O feet through 15-inch iron pipe to Felton water wheel. The vertical head at the water wheel is POP feet This wheel runs a 5O-horse power dynamo and a triplex Dow pump.
 The electric current is carried up the hill on 0000 wire, which weighs three 1ourths Of pound to the foot, where it is delivered to big motor in the mill house, and a small one at the hoist. All the electric machinery was furnished by the Westinghouse Elec- tr1cal Manufacturing company and is of the most modern type. The pres ent mill consists of ten heavy stamps of Fraser and Chalmers make with sil- yer plated copper plates and concen- traitors. The company expects to in crease its capacity as rapidly as the circumstances will warrant. It will also add plant for treating the con- centrates from its own and other mills as soon as thorough tests can be made, SO as to determine the most ad- vantageous process.
 This company owns numerous other mines in this territory on which de- velopment work is proceeding regular ly. They expect to invest a large amount of money here. if mining proves profitable. MT. Merriwether IS also president of the Big Four Gold Mining company which owns the well known Belcher mine in the Big Bug district This company will not be- gin active operations until after cleo tlon. They wish to know just where they stand before investing any more money.

IRONY OF FATE.
1t Pursues Two Eminently Respectable
 Ladies Who Could Not Agree.

Ladies Who Could Not Agree.
 Not long ago there were two ladies stopping at the same boarding house. They were single ladies, be it said, and both highly respectable. But for some reason, says the Minneapolis Times, known only to themselves, they couldn't get along," and matters went between them from bad to worse till they quit speaking"
 They both got tired, of course, living in the same house with mortal enemy, and finally both determined to move Arrangements were made, and, as luck would have it, both moved the same day. Lady No. loaded up her house. hold goods in the morning, and in the afternoon a drag pulled up and car ried away the trunk, shawlstraps, and other effects of lady No. 9.
 Lady No. 1 was just composing her self to view the surroundings of her new lodging place, when a wagon stopped at the front door and began to takably feminine. She sized up the trunk and went downstairs, filled with a horrible suspicion, to interview the landlady.
 Her suspicious were true. They had moved into the same house.
 There is no more to the story. Of course, they should have made up their differences and lived in peace and char ity ever after. But they did not. Lady No. never got her trunk inside of the house.

Cruel Examiners.

A reporter for the Cincinnati Trib- une lately overheard dialogue be- tween two suburban gentlemen.
 How did your daughter pass her ex- animation for position as teacher?' asked the first man.
 "Pass!" was the answer. "She didn't pass at all. Maybe you won't believe it, but they asked that poor girl about things that happened before she was born."

The Water Lily.

Several specimens of water lilies have the very curious peculiarity of bloom ing all day and at evening closing their blossoms, and, by retracting the stem, drawing the four entirely under water. There is no more singular fact in the history of flowers than this oddity of the water lily.

Recount Ordered.

At sitting of the District Court
at Winnemucca on November Odd,
Judge Cheney granted the applica-
ton for writ Of mandamus to COM
pei the Board of Commissioners of
Humboldt county to recount the
votes cast for Justice of the Peace of
Winnemucca, The application was
made by Joseph Rougon, who had
been defeated by G. W. Rutherford,
the latter having received five more
votes than Rougon The District
Attorney had advised the Board that
a recount could only be had in case
of a tie, under the law of 1889.
Judge Cheney held, however, that
the law of 1889 did not repeal the
old law of 1879. providing for a re-
count IN case OF majority of less
than ten and that both laws could
stand. The Board will therefore have
to recount the votes cast for that
office.
The above case is similar to that
OF R. H. Wright and J. H. Miller,
opposing candidates for Clerk and
Treasurer of this county. Accord
ing to the returns Miller was two
votes ahead, and Wright applied to
the Board for recount. The Bard,
acting on the advice OF the District
Attorney, refused to recount tha
votes. The matter will probably be
brought before Judge Mack for set

A Big Enterprise.

One of the largest undertakings in
the lumber business which has been
inaugurated in recent years is now
being prosecuted by the Sierra New

which is owned by the Hobart estate,
under the SUPPLEMENTARY of J. B.
Overton of Virginia City Prepara-
tions are going forward to clear over
50, 900 acres of virgin timber land

ifornia. This timber comprises the
cream, so to speak, of the Sierra
Nevada Wood aud Lumber Com.
pany's possessions, a portion of which
situated on the shores of Lake Tahoe
was sold to the Tahoe Lumber ano
Flume Company last season. Should
the market be active in the future
and the demand for lumber continue
it would take % years to dispose O.
the product of these So, 900 acres.
One OF the largest and best equipped
lumber mills on the coast is being
erected at point 8 miles south Of
Truckee, and a narrow gauge rail
road has been built from Truckee in
