AMERICAN FLAT
Mining on the Comstock Look
Up.

The proposed digging Of a tunnel
TO drain the American Flat mines, re-
calls the bonanza days Of the digging
and opening Of the Sutro tunnel.
We had "a barbacue and a big blow
out when the historic worK was begun
Mr.. Sutro got enthused and used the
pick at the starting point with such
vim that he knocked himself out before
the 10Th round,
W. E. Sharon has been chosen
and is an excellent man for the place
having both energy and experience.
The new tunnel will start at the
Alta mine, lower Gold Hill at the
and will be pushed IN a ST. aight line
to the leading mines on tie Flat.
New qualifications will he cut across
all the way, and it is entirely within
the range of probability that some
rich veins will DC struck-at any ate
they will keep a sharp lockout for
them.
Some rich streaks have been found
in the Brunswick Lode recently, both
in the Chollar and Occidental mines
Dayton has the promise of a boom
in the working Of the tailings at the
mouth Of the Six Mile Canyon.
The Peck brothers, 10y their secret
method, expect to make a rich thing
out of these cast away matters and
have enough TO run their mill for
three years.
Letters from some Of the old Com
stockers who have gone to South
Africa do not paint the conditions
there in glowing colors. Wages are
fairly good, but the necessaries Of
life are at the top notch. Shafts now
have to be sunk two or three thousand
feet before pay ore is struck, and then
the boom is about over.

Acting Secretary Roosevelt is consider

vesse! to the exclusive use of the naval
militia of the country. die considers the
naval reserves most valuable adjunct to
the regular naval establishment, and that
better means snould~ be provided for their

His recent inspection Of the militia con-
WINGED him of the pecefsity for radical
change in the present methods of drills and
exercises in order to render the men more
efficient in the duties that would devolye
upon them in the event, of war. He has
outlined plan whereby a vessel of the
gunboat class will be assigned to work
with the reserves, spending the winter
months with the southeEn bodies and the
summer with the northern, thus giving ali
organizations ample chance to secure the
benefits of training on modern vessels of

THE UNUSED RAILROAD TRACKS.
Fetftfon for Their Removal From
New York

New York Avenue.
Inc Commissioners have received a peti-
ton from citizens residing on New York
avenue, between 9Th and eth streets north
west requesting the removal of the aban-
doned tracks of the lexington and Sol
diers' Home Railroad Company on said
avenue.
Inspector Bradshaw, in passing upon
the petition, says:
1t is matter susceptible of easy proof
that the tracks in question have been in
a state of abandonment, by reason of nom
use, SO that by proper proceedings insti-
tuted through the Attorney General, from
length of time, at least, would subject
the company to a forfeiture of its right
to operate them.
They have not been used since the en-
forced removal of the overhead trolley
from New York avenue in the fall of 1885,.
In view of this, in that they fail of their
primary object in facilitating the use of
the street, it would seem that the facts
should be laid before the Attorney Gem
eral with view, at least, of compelling
the railroad company to discharge the du-
ties imposed upon it,
The case is now in the hands of the
attorney for the District.
