to work on the Rabbit Hole sulphur
mines and the new sulphur company
will soon be able to supply the market
with refined sulphur in quantities to
fully meet the demand for the article

these mines is pronounced by all stock
men and metallurgists to be % per cent
superior to either Japanese or Mexican
sulphur, and equal in all respects to the
highest grade in the market. The mines
are extensive, comprising 4S0 acres OF
sulphur bearing territory.-Silyer State.
A very strange and wonderful freak of
nature can be seen at the livery stable
of George Mcintosh OF Carlin. 1t is a
mule with a colt of horse species. 1t is
lust like any other colt, except it has on
both sides of the head rear the ear a
small bunch of hair which is OF a blu
ish color. There can be no doubt as to
the mule being the mother of the colt,
as she has raised the colt and shows
more than ordinary attention and love
for her offspring. The mule was running
with two stations owned by DR.. Wilson.
We have never heard Of such q case be-
fore, and if George Mcintosh will start
out with the mule and her progeny he
may make a fortune.-Elko Argonant.

Leading Republican representatives
have attacked the law on the floor of the
House, when they hid to strain a point
to do SO, and sixty odd Republican MEM
bcrs OF the House who oppose the law as
it now stands met in caucus to discuss
the best way to conduct their fight
against it. That was at least fifty more
than were supposed to be willing to be
counted as publicly hostile to the law,
and has had an alarming effect upon
those who stand by the law and have
generally beer disposed to poke fun at
all talk of fighting it.
