Premiums on the New Dollar Bills.

The new 81 silver certificates were
commanding premium of 25 cents the
other day The specie dealers, who
bought them in large quantities when
they first GENE out have been making
a handsome profit on them. At the
outset the premium was cents. When
it was discovered that the word tran
quillity" in the extract from the United
States Constitution in the scroll on the
front of the bill was spelled wrong
only one 81" being use-the premium
was raised to 10 cents. Then came the
news that the printing of the bills had
been stopped to correct the error,
whereupon the premium was advanced
to 25 cents.
When the last design for nickel scent
pieces was made the word cents under
the ''V" on the back of the coin was
left off. Gents" was subsequently
added, but not until great many OF
the coins had been struck off. There
is no premium on the incomplete 5-cent
pieces They are too numerous.

SALOON IN TWO COUNTRIES.
Ingenious Arrangement for the Thirst!
on the Mexican Border.

Ingenious Arrangement for the Thirsty
on the Mexican Border.
There is an ingenious saloonloeeper
who conducts place in q little village
on the border between this country and
Mexico, says the Louisville Commercial.
The village is half in California and
half in Lower California. There are
two bars in his saloon, one on the south
and one on the north side of large
room. The dividing line between the
two countries bisects the house, and
one bar is located in Mexico and the
other is located in the United States.
The proprietor pays big license to both
countries, but still makes handsome
living out of the business. He has
suspended all the way across the street
in front unique sign. On the United
States side it reads, in letters foot
high: "Your first and last chance"
On the other side, in Spanish, it ex-
presses the same idea.
The saloon is known by that name
for miles around, and many an eastern
tourist who has quenched his thirst
there will remember it. 1t is a great
resort for "cow punchers" of both ma
tions who work in that territory.
Hence many is the bloody fight that
takes place there, and few are the ones
brought to justice whose crimes are
committed there.

A NEW RECORD.
Deepest Spot lin the Ocean Nearly Six |
Miles.

Deepest Spot lin the Ocean Nearly Six
Miles.
For2 years or more the edeepestspot in
the ocean has been supposed to be to the
northeast of Japan, says the New York
Journal. There the bottom lies 4,655
fathoms down, or more than five miles
beneath the surface of the waves.
In the latest hydrogra piers report of
admiralty surveys, made by the British
government, this ocean record, which
has stood so long, is beaten, for there is
official information of a deeper sound
ing than has hitherto been made. The
deepest spot in the ocean, so far as
known at present, has been found to be
in the neighborhood of the Friendly and
Kermadee islands, in the Southern Pa
cifie. Here the maximum depth is
5,15J fathoms, or close upon six miles.
The observation, made by the officers
on board the British ship Penguin, is all
the more interesting for the fact that it
bears out the result of previous re-
searches, showing curiously enough as
it does that the deepest parts of the sea
are not far from land.
Deep-sea sounding has come of late
years an exact science in itself One GU
rious feature of it, and one which is lit
tie known, is that the leads" used have
to be constructed with especial strength
in order to withstand the enormous
pressure of the mass Of water which
bears down upon them when they lie
upon the bottom. So great is this pres
sure that the sounding apparatus in
ordinary use would be crushed.

SIAM SAPPHIRE MINES.
Value of Their Product Is in the Quantity
Not Quality.

Value of Their Product Is in the Quantity
Not Quality.
The Pailin mines are spread over an
area six miles by two, and consist of 13
mining villages, the chief of which are
Baw Taxa and Baw Dineo. These two
are more than four miles apart, but
they are joined by an excellent road cut
through the forest and well drained.
Sapphires, says the London Times, are
found all over this district; the whole
countryside is riddled with holes sunk
in the red soil down to the sapphire
layer. Formerly the stones were found
quite near the surface, but those places
have long since been exhausted, al
though the Burmese still continue to
turn over the old heaps in the firm con-
viction that precious stones grow. Now
the stones are found at depth Of from
is to 25 feet, in reddish, gravelly layer
of varying thickness up to 1s inches.
The pit sunk is usually some five feet
in diameter and either square or cir
cular. Soil is raised in bamboo bask-
cts, attached to the end of balanced
lever, and when the sapphire layer is
reached the stratum is carried to the
nearest water and washed carefully for
stones. Not more than one shaft in
three pays for it's working expenses, but
when the sapphire layer is struck the
profits may be large indeed. 1t is all
question Of luck. To dig and work out
one shaft occupies two or three men
one month. Two or three Burmese gen
orally go into partnership and hire
Laos miners to work for them and sink
the shaft at the rate of two ticals (two
shillings eight pence) per 1s inches. Oc-
casionally sapphires of considerable
value reward the miner, but the sap
phires of Pailin are of more commercial
value because of their quantity than be-
cause OF their intrinsic excellence.

DREAMS THAT GAME TRUE.
Some Wonderful Tales About Race
Horses.

Some wonderful Tales About Race
Horses.
Dreams" like girls, "are queer" and
dreams wherein horses figure largely
take rank among the queerest. In the
year eighteen hundred and nine
ty something gentleman en-
tered promising PAGER for a race to
come off some time during the summer.
He was speeding the horse on the last
of the snow, and wrote to his wife, who
was visiting in distant town, that his
prospects for q race horse were rosy.
That night the lady, although not
specially an admirer of horses, dreamed
that she was sitting in the stand watch
ing the finish of the race wherein her
husbands horse was to take part. Re
plying to the letter she said that his
horse would win the race, the last heat
several lengths ahead of a gray horse,
the only other one she saw in her
dream, and that the judge announced
good deal of amusement in the fam
lily during the months previous TO the
race. and finally when the day came
five horses started, among them being
dark gray. The dream came true
in every respect, the race being won in
three heats, and at the finish the gray
was the only one in it, the rest just
coming into the stretch; time, 2:20A
This dream I can vouch for, as 1 saw
the letter weeks before the race took
place.
Another gentleman, who was sleeping
at an inn beside the track where his
horses were stabbed, dreamed that he
saw the window of the stall containing
valuable young horse being stealth
lily opened from the outside. Then fir,
flashed and fell among the straw, re
vealing the horse in state of terror,
paving and snorting loudly. The
dream was so vivid that he awoke and
fancied that he could really hear the
horse striking the walls of his stall
He partially dressed and ran out, and
not moment too soon. Some miscreant
hands had thrown cloth burning and
soaked with oil in through the window.
This had ig'nited the straw, and in a
few seconds more the horse must have
persisted, though fortunately as it was
he was but slightly injured. d.-Trotter
