Mining in Nevada County.

A correspondent of the Nevada City
Transcript, who has been all through
the mining districts of Nevada county,
reports the mining outlook there very
encouraging. He says: There are four
great quartz lodes in Nevada county,
the first or lower one beng the North
Star and the Allison Ranch lode, on the
west side of Wolf creek. Next comes
the Eureka Idaho lode, from foot-wall
to the Lucky and Cambridge mines,
with it's series of rich ore shoots, many
as yet hardly touched, notwithstanding
that these two great and rich lodes have
produced in gold in forty-eight years
$1O5, 748, 407. Then comes the Provi-
dence-C Champion lode, from Town Talk
to the La Suerte, which has produced,
excluding Gold Flat, $72, 900, 900 in gold,
great portions of the lode remaining
untouched and unexplored. Many of
the mines now being prospected will
vet compare favorably with the great
Providence and Champion mines. All
that is needed is capital intelligently
applied. OF course there are hundreds
of mines, and some good ones, too, out
side of these great lodes scattered
through the county.

The nearest point ofl railroad is Hes

bounded on the east by the.Balck Hawk
mining district, one andson the west
by the Ord mining district and the east
branch of the Mojave, which finds it's
headwaters in the mountains of the
Holcomb valley mining district. Tho

ridge of mountains sloping toward the
Mojave and the north line of the Hol

victoria's Favorite Pose.

Soon after the birth Of the Prince of
Wales, Victorias picture dandling the
infant heir to the throne on her knees
was displayed in shop windows
throughout the land. 1t was received
with enthusiasm. Something of the
motherliness of this royal woman
touched the hearts of her people and
Victoria, quick to see the hold that it
gave her upon them, has maintained
the practice of presenting them at
regular intervals with a photograph Of
herself dandling something in the
shape Of descendant upon her knees.
First her own children, then her grand
children, and later still her great.
grandchildren all have served as ties
to bind her more closely to her sub
jects.

An Ugly Missile.

Lord Salisbury still keeps as SOU
venir in a cabinet at Hatfield an ugly
looking stone of over a pound in
weight, with which the window Of
carriage in which he was seated with
his two daughters was smashed at
Dumfries on the evening Of Oct. Fl,
1884. His lordship had been delivering
a series of political speeches in Scot
land, and in the streets there was an
attempt at rioting. The occupants OF
the carriage were, fortunately, unhurt,
but the ladies took the missile home
with them.

The pulpit Of little Eastern church
has long stood just enough to one side
of the platform to disturb the congre-
cations sense of proportion; but any
protest met with quick rejoinder
from the aged minister. The wife Of
the sexton, taking matters into her
own hands, says the Church Econo-
mist, moved the pulpit toward the CEN
ter an inch week, and gained her
point, though it took time, for the old
doctor never noticed the difference.

When millionaire dies in these lat
ter days people who hear what the
amount Of his fortune is are apt to say
that conditions are changing and that
such things will not be possible fifty
years from now. And yet it is safe to
say that in spite of changed conditions
and new methods in business and in
dustry, there will always be men bold,
self-reliant and aggressive, willing to
take and give blows, who, when they
die, will rank as millionaires, just as
did the men who began their life ca
reer a generation ago. The estate of
the late George M. Pullman is esti-
mated at $25,OOO,OO0 and it is not so
long, as we measure time nowadays,
since he first began to accumulate that
wealth. The methods by which some
Of it was gained may be criticised, and
yet they were the methods that almost
every man in whom snere dwells q
spirit of restless activity would adopt.
The spirit of money getting is not con-
fins-e to the business man, and al
though moralists may declaim against
it from an abstract standpoint, it has
developed enterprise and stimulated
industry, and welded the great body
Of the people closer together in the
bonds of common interests. 9th
CT fortunes have been left by men
in this country at the magnitude Of
which the world has wondered. They
have been the slow accretions of gen.
erations The founder of the family
made lucky investment, just as men
do to-day, and bought land with the
proceeds, and as city was built up
and it's commerce began to grow, that
real estate grew with it, and no burden
was attached to it's care, and after a
time it represented millions, and the
heirs drew princely income without
having lifted hand in toll and with
out ever having set their nerves STIR
ring in the fierce battle which so many
men have to fight. This class Of for
tunes may not be heard of much in the
future, but the fortune that is made by
hard and unremitting work, by keen
judgment and Ly the ability to take
advantage of existing conditions is still
possibility. And, after all, one can
not help admiring the man who takes
ventures and risks, and whom failure
cannot daunt, rather than the man who
has simply inherited the wealth with
which he dazzles the world.

Are we not entirely too fast? Is
speed to be the end of our efforts, or
only a means to something vastly bet
ter? 1t is well to do work quickly.
But is it so If we are only to keep on
working? We should say not. 1t Is
not through booms and deals and rec
ord breaking alone that the kingdom
of heaven is to come to man. If in
crease Of speed enables us to achieve
more in a given space of time it should
also enable us to have more leisure for
the enjoyment of that which we have
achieved. If it mean more wealth 1t
should mean more rightful use Of
wealth. If it mean more work 1T should
also mean more pay.

Ger VS.. Halpern (Ark.), SO L. r. A. 120,

unloaded But theNfae--that the person
