mated to produce n force of about 10000

The mines of the old world produce
every year 54O,OOO,0O0 tons of ore, coal,
etc, of which the United States pro-
duces 1G0,000,000. The greatest record
ever made, perhaps, by any mine was
that of the Comstock in 1874, when near
ly SOS, 100000 worth of gold and silver
was taken out.

are in more danger than other trees OF
being struck by lightning. Beeches
on the contrary, are not good con-

ton to the electrical conductibility OF
their wood. Dead trees and dead wood
generally form a much better con,
ductor than living, growing woods

Stage Held UP.

Fridays Carson News says that the
stage running between Independence
and Bishop Creek was held up by
highwaymen last Wednesday. The
robbers secured Wells, Fargo & Co.'S
box and $500 or 5000 in money for
taxes bound for the county seat. 'Hhe
hold-up must have occurred about
two miles from the railroad station
and there is little likelihood that the
highwaymen can escape.
The agents at the two stations on
either side of the place where the
robbery occurred can figure up yearly
$500 that was taken besides greater
or lesser amounts that naturally
would have been shipped from other
points. This is the lirst stage rob-
berry in that locality for fifteen years
