The Austin Mining Company, OF
which p. T. Farnsworth OF this city is
general manager, will erect q mill OF
90 to 100 tons capacity on the prop
erty, located near Austin, Nevada. II
will be located at the mouth OF the tun-
mel, which is now in 5000 feet. and
will be driven 1900 feet further. The
ground Of the company is a perfect net
work Of veins, about 20 having been
cut thus far by the tunnel. All OF these
show pay ore, and will be developed
when the tunnel is completed. The
tunnel is one Of the longestin the west,
and will tap the main vein at a verti-
cal depth from the surface OF 700 feet
and a depth Of 1900 feet on the vein.
The property produces a high grade sill
yer ore, the values ranging from 20
to 5000 ounces.--Salt Lake Inter-

PugiIistic Swapping Turtles.


Two months ago a crowd of coal
miners near Newport took two snap
ping turtles to a cockpit and forcing
their jaws open poured whisky down
their threats. Then they were turned
loose on each other, and about $500
was wagered on the fight, with the I'M
derstanding that no decision would be
made until one of the snappers gave
up or was killed. The turtles fought
iercely, each tearing his antagonists
head and neck with his horny beak
until one obtained a grip on the others
ripper. After q brief but Intellectual
struggle to break his antagonists hold,
the turtle whose flipper was thus
caught seized the other by the neck.
Aside from a saving motion there was
no further demonstration for several
hours. The crowd OF miners watched
them from early evening until long
after midnight, when the turtles, each
retaining his grip on the other, were
placed in the cellar Of a deserted house.
This was two months ago, and since
then neither Of the snappers has shown
any signs Of weakening his hold upon
the other, and the bets have not yet
been declared of.-Rochester Times.

Pointer dogs can always be trained
to steal. Many of them are natural
thieves without training, and any OF
the species can be taught. There is a
dog Of this kind in northwest Wash
ington. He will pick up anything he
can find around a yard or outside Of a
store, but his speciality is ladies' pock-
etbooks and handbags. When he sees
n of these, he grabs it and runs, al
ways succeeding in getting out Of sight
before he can be captured or followed.
No owner has ever been seen, hence
no complaints have been made at po-
lice headquarters, but there is but little
doubt, ii it were possible to follow the
animal, that it would be found that he
has been carefully trained as a purse
snatcher and that he takes his booty
home to his master. He seems to be
aware that he is doing wrong, jumping
fences and lodging around houses
when running ~away.--Washington

There was a general walk-out at the
Hale 4 Norcross last Saturday after
noon. The underground force to a
man threw up their jobs and left the
mine. The reason given for the action
Of the employees were a dislike 10 the
new superintendent, Ii. w. Tanger-
man, who they refused to work under.
The force, including William Pearce,
the foreman, are 21 in number.
AT about 2 o'clock in the afternoon
President jeremiah Lynch, Directors
Mcdonald and Krause and Superin-
tendent Tangerman visited the mine
for the purpose OF going through the
underground levels under escort Of ex-
Superintendent Ryan, who was to turn
the mine over to them. When they
reached the works, prepared TO de-
scend, they we're met by Foreman
Pearce.
He said he could take the party to
the station but the men would not let
Tangeiaan go through the mine. Mr..
Pearce then descended the shaft and
the men came to the surface. The men
all resigned their places. No one OBJ
jectsd to any member of the party K
cept TanRerman going through the
mine. They declined to let him pass
even as a visitor. This action created
considerable stir.-Virginia Chronicle.

SELECTION OF SCHOOL TRUs-
TEES.

The Reno Gazette of the 18th instant
has the following: Since We paid q visit
to the High School We are more i'm
pressed with the importance Of exer-
cising great care and excellent judg-
ment in the selection OF School Trus-
tees. Nothing in the way Of public
service comes as near reaching u
respective firesides than the men cho-
zen to manage BUR public schools, I'M
less it be those appointed to teach the
rising generation how to shoot, and
we desire to impress on the community
the importance Of a wise selection. To
all those who think that the teachers
are paid too great salary we also wish
TO say, that too great q salary is out OF
the question when we come to employ
teachers trusted to mould the minds OF
our children. So much depends upon
the name in which the work is
done that some teachers are better
worth one thousand dollars per
month than others are six bits. A
competent teacher must be endowed
with all the nobler traits Of character
that lift her head and shoulders above
the masses a good teacher must be
born one, then fitted for the trust by
years Of patient training and educa-
ton, and then it too often happens that
a mistake is made in the selection.
Our public school system is as good
as any on the coast and much better
than in many places. The trustees
have wisely engaged the services of in
structors in special work, such as pen
manship and dra wing and in vocal
music, and the public money cannot
be expended better than in giving our
boys and girls a thorough and practi-
cal education, thereby the better fitting
them to become useful members OF So
ciety, and not drones in the hive Of
human existence.

BIunts the InteIIect.

The School Board of Santa Ana, CAL,
found that for some reason the boys
in the public schools were not nearly
so proficient in their studies as the
girls and an investigation a insti-
tuted to discover the cause-whether
the boys were being neglected by their
teachers or whether q lack Of discipline
was chargeable with the fact that the
boys we're not doing we'll. The inves-
tigation was had, and it was found that
80 per cent OF the boys between the ages
OF IL and Is years who attend the pub
lie schools smoke cigarettes. The in
vestigation did not require to be pushed
any further. 1t is sufficiently we'll
known that cigarette smoking blunts
the intellect as well as undermines the
constitution.

Keep Your Month shut.

The Family Doctor says that this
is the secret Of avoiding colds. The
man or woman who comes out OF an
overheated room, especially late at
night, and breathe through the mouth,
will either catch a bad cold or ~irritate
the lungs sufficiently to cause annoy
ance and unpleasantness. II people
would just keep their mouths shut and
breathe through their nose, this diff
Guilty and danger would be avoided.
Chills are often the result Of people
talking freely while out Of doors just
after leaving a DON full Of hot air, and
theater-goers who discuss and laugh
owe the play on their way home are
inviting illness. 1t is, in fact, during
youth that the greater number of man
kind contract habits or Inflammation
which make their whole life q tissue Of
disorders.

shrtnkage fn Beef Cattle.

A Nevada stockman who has been
experimenting and taking notes says
beef cattle driven twenty-five miles
without water will shrink fifty pounds
per bullock, allowing feed and drink
at the end Of the journey before weigh
ing. A bullock driven five miles and
allowed TO stand two hours without
feed or water will not shrink any. A
bullock driven fifty miles and allowed
to drink frequently during the drive
will shrink twenty pounds. A bullock
driven twenty-five miles and allowed
to drink frequently during the drive
will not show shrinkage, il allowed to
eat and drink for three hours at the
end OF the drive. A bunch of GOO
pound bullocks driven fifty miles with
care and allowed to drink frequently
on the drive, and at the end allowed
to eat and drink for six hours, showed
fifteen pounds shrinkage to the ami
NAL. This, however, was the result OF
careful handling.
The Reno Gazette says the foregoing
figures were obtained by actual exper-
iment.

CRIPPLE CREEKS BLACK EYE.

A gentleman who resides at Colo
RADIO Springs, and is thoroughly famil-
lar with conditions in Colorado, in
forms the Salt Lake Mining Review
that a combination Of untoward events
has checked the Cripple Creek boom
and given the district a black eye. The
output has fallen off to half a million
a month since the first of tho year,
whereas il was expected to be gel a
million. The Portland mine, paraded
as one OF the wonderful dividend.pay-
ers, has passed its March dividend,
owing to an accident that closed the
property down early in the year. Many
leases expired on the first of the year,
and the leasers left the properties in
such shape that immediate production
was impossible. Then the wildcat min
ing stock boom has diverted to the
stock exchanges money that would
have otherwise been expended in de-
fOiophhb ptOrpCStos bpceuioeOio hoNc
discovered that there is easier money
to be made in selling worthless stocks
than in buying and opening up new
properties. The capitalization Of many
million-dollar companies is based upon
claims located miles from the mineral
belt. in an unbroken sea Of granite,
where there is not one chance in ten
million Of striking an ore body. There
is distress and more restitution
in the town Of Cripple Creek than in
any other city of similar size in the
United States. There is no work for
half the miners who have been at
tracted to the camp, and the appalling
death rate from pneumonia is largely
due TO the weak physical condition to
which the men have been reduced by
starvation and exposure. OF course
the present adverse conditions will soon
be removed, and il they result in
checking the wild frenzy Of the specu-
lators and removing some OF the evils
of the " BOOM" Cripple Creeks path
way to a permanent and stable pros
perity will be cleared.

All About ms

The quarrel among Salvation Army
leaders appears to have originated
mainly in an order from General Booth
to transfer to England money raised
for relief work in the United States.
This cause of the quarrel indicates the
necessity Of national organization.
General Booth illustrates the position
Of the newly-made wife who took an
early opportunity to inform her hus-
band that she and he were one. but
that she was that one. General Booth
proposes to command an international
army which knows no national allegi-
ance, but claims the right to draw upon
other nations to keep the army in
England in funds.

To MAKE neath certain.

In Germany the view obtains that
the execution of criminals should be by
some means more certain than the
electric chair. DIR. E. Cuhmann. a
celebrated chemist, suggests the use
of carbolic acid. According to his plan
the criminal would be carried to a cell
which can be filled n~oiselessly with
carbolic acid in gaseous form from floor
to ceiling. When the gas reaches the
delinquent's mouth and nose it causes
instant paralysis Of the lungs and I'M
consciousness, and life departs without
previous pain.

The State Of Manhattan.

A New York paper seriously advo-
Gates a division OF that State. 1t is
declared to be the only way by which
the city al secure the precious boon
OF self-government. The proposition
is to cast the city off from the State,
the interior to be known as New York,
the city as the State Of Manhattan. 1t
will be a somewhat hazardous under
taking. The city Of New York left to
itself might float over to Europe. Its
relations with European countries are
much closer than with the other States
OF the American Union. Its newspa-
pers, with a few exceptions, accept their
public policies from England. But
with all its faults, New York at heart
is a great American city and should be
taken in hand by some Home Mission
Society. President Cleveland in his
recent speech omitted to mention New
York as a promising field for reform
works. f. Bulletin.

Cattle Quaranuued.

1t was reported last week that cattle
from California for Eastern shipment
would not be allowed to enter certain
Eastern markets and II shipped would
be placed in quarantine. The reason
for this order in the East is said to be
owing TO the fact that in a recent ship
ment from California diseased cattle
were found. A shipment was to have
been made from this point Of cattle
from the northern part Of California,
but the idea was abandoned on receipt
OF the news that they would not be re-
ceived and they were unloaded and
turned out in Long Valley until more
definite particulars ran be a%scertained.
II the report is true that quarantine
will be enforced against cattle from
California II will affect this market ma
