Some weeks ago the IntellIgencer con-
tanned an editorial concerning the
Wheeling stogie, based on the account
of humorous incident then going the
rounds Of the press. in which an officer
had soothed some insane people by Civ
ing them some OF wheellngs favorite
smokes. 1t was related that the patients,
who had been violent, became quite do
Gle under the influence OF the stogies.
The Inteligencer did not vouch for the
truth OF the story, but made It the sub
ject Of some pleasantries concerning the
soothing effects of this product of Wheel
ing industry. One or two papers repre-
senting the tobacco trade seem to have
taken the article more seriously than
necessary. however, and one especially.

Not the Only Cause.

The New York Press makes the point
that the improvement in agricultural
and consequently in all conditions does
not wholly depend upon a temporary for
elgn shortage Of crops. This It proves
by interesting figures furnished by a
Lincoln, Nebraska, correspondent, as to
the increase of this years products in
Nebraska over last years.
According to the figures the total is
SIS, s3S, 800 - about SIS per capita - in
wheat, corn, oats rye. barley and hay.
OF this sum. says the correspondent.
about 81, 1875 900 Is due to u % cent rise in
the price of bushel OF wheat. But $780,
100000 Is due 90 3-cent rise in the price
OF bushel of corn The wheat rise Is
eight times the corn rise. but the corn
crop is ten times the wheat crop, or us
sOOOOO,OOO is to 100000 bushels. In
commenting on this showing, the Press
says:
Now the wheat rise Is due In large part,
though by 10 means wholly, to export de-
mand, and II may be called too great TO
last. But the corn rise must be. almost
entirely In response to a domestic demand,
and we may expect a higher rather than
n lower level from this moderate decline.
There has been n steady growth OF recent
yenrg in the expectation OF this greatest Of
American staples, hut II never reached
seven per cent Of tho crop, whereas the
wheat expectation has exceeded forty per
cent. Of tho crop The increase Is due to
demand for domestic consumption. The
course OF the demand can be traced read

Nevada's Placers.

The New camp of Gold Greek, FL
ko county, is attracting considerable
attention, and this extract from the
report of Surveyor-General Pratt
will be interesting: A property that
has attracted much attention of late
is the Gold Greek quartz and placer
mines at Island Mountain, Elko coun-
ty, Is miles north of the town of
Elko. For 26 years these claims have
been worked by few prespectors
who have taken out about $500, 900
by the old-fashioned process of sluice
box and rocker Now, that a New
York company has taken hold of the
mines, modern methods are to be in
troduced Formerly the mines could
be. worked only go to 80 days in the
year, as water was not procurable
the rest of the time and the miners
bad no means of impounding it. The
new company has $50 teams and 250
men at work digging ditch eight
miles long to connect with reser-
voir to hold 5000, 0O0,O 900 gallons,
furnishing $500 miners inches of
water every "a hours for 200 days in
the year. The placers are 5000 acres
in area, and the geological and min
eralogical conditions much resemble
those at Cripple Creek. Experts re-
port gravel worth 60 cents per cubic
yard; the gold is course and worth
$40 Al an ounce.

burg for the Panamint country, about
oO miles northeast One day last
week two l2-animal teams, loaded
with supplies, left Raudsburg for
Panamint. The lodges at the latter
place are said to be more permanent
and of better grade than at Rands-
burg.
A new town called johannesburg
has sprung up. A townsite has been
laid out and lots are selling at 800
each. Water pipes are said to be
laid through the town, but as yet
there is no water. Every conner
buys pick and the hills are full of
embryonic prospectors.
A daily mail is now running from
Mojave to Randsburg Also a tele-
phone line.
A report is current that the South
ern Pacific will build branch line to
Randsburg, and that the G. & C. will
extend from Keller, thus making q
through railroad connection. Super
intendent Laws of the G. & C. in
forms US that at present there is no
likelihood of such extension If the
mines stand the test of actual devel-
opment, the roads will be put through
but not before.

An old Lombard legend tells the story
of chicftain who asked the hand of a
neighbours daughter. Upon its being
refused him he declared war, killed the
chief who had declined the honor of be-
ing his father-in-law, and married the
girl after all. Not satisfied with this
much, he had the skull of his wife's ia
Their mounted in gold as drinking cup,
and one day, while under the influence
of wine, ordered his spouse to appear
before the assembled guests at his
house and drink to his health out of the
horrible bowl. She did SO, but ever
after was her husbands secret but most
deadly enemy. She joined in con-
spirecy which eventually resulted in the
king her husbands assassination.
