A Wonderful Producer.

The famous DeLamar- mine in
Nevada has been wonderful pro-
Queer, and during the past year has
made great record. The property
is owned by Capt. DeLamar and
H. A. Cohen. The Reno Journal
gives the following interesting facts
about this wonderful mine:
The output for the year Is esti,
mated at 100000 by many. and
it is safe tosput it at over $2,OOO,UO
The production since the new mill
was completed has averaged 7,OOO
tons per month, and the average
value fixed by those best acquainted
with the ores of that district at
over $50. 1t is understood that
the capacity of the plant is to De
increased early the coming season
to double the present tonnage, ana
should that be done the earnings
will be increased to great figure.
1t is claimed by many that the out
put of the DeLamar is greater than
any single piece of property in the
West, and that we're the record ex-
posed it would. compare with that
which has been set by the Utica.
More than one effort has been made
during the year to purchase the
property. and it il known that 3d.
100000 has been refused for it.

"Reminiscences of the Comstock.

The acquisition of sudden wealth
and the idiotic uses to which it can
be put were never better illustrated
than during the palmy days on the
Comstock lode, says the Western
Mining World. A well.known writer
says that when the free-handed Cal
ifornians led in such laviehness the
few old-timers who were fortunate
enough to ''strike it rich" soon
caught the pace. One of the most
noticeable instances recorded was
that of Sandy Bowers who owned
ten feet on the Comstock. A wash
erwoman in the camp owned ten
feet adjoining. Bowers married
her, and in a year or two, their
ground proving to be the heart OF
the surface bonanzas, they became
extremely rich. Bowers began in
1861 to build a stone mansion,
which finally cost him half a mil
lion dollars. While the contractors
were at work on his house the we'd
ded pair went to Europe where they
spent three years. Before they left
Bowers hired the International hotel
and gave banquet to nearly the
whole of Virginia City. Every
luxury that San Francisco could
furnish was ordered for the occasion.
At this event Bowers made speech
that was long quoted on the Com
stock: "I've had powerful good
luck in this country, an now I've
got money to throw at the birds.
There aren't no chance for gen.
tleman to spend his coin in this
country, an so me an Mrs. Bowers
is soin' to Yoorup to take in the
sights" Sandy continued to throw
his money at the birds. He died
in 1868, the mine ceased to pay
and Mrs. Bowers, reduced to poverty,
became widely known as the "Seer-
ess of Washoe," the most popular
fortune teller on the Comstock.
Mems heads were continually in
the clouds; they saw network Of
silver beneath their feet and the fine
strands widening into solid wedges
of ore. No metaphor can exagger-
ate the prevailing delirium. Men
were drunken with the wine of sud.
den success, and scattered their
money broadcast. A superintend-
ent filed the water tank With cham
payne for his guests at wedding.
Another mining man put door han
dies of solid silver thr oughout his
houee. The works, Offices, resi-
deuces aud stables of officials were

THE FIGHT on DUBOIS.
Republicans Trying Their Best to Beat
Him on Account Of His Bolt.

The Republican National Com
mittee, aided and abetted by tn
Republican Senators in Congress
says a Washington correspondent
of the St. Louis Republic, Jan. 18th
is bending every energy to defeat fol-
reelection to the Senate Dubois in
Idaho and Squire in Washington
The two Senators, previously Re
publicans, bolted the action Of thu
t.Louis Convention, and supported
Mr.. Bryan for the Presidency. The
Republican managers are now seek
ing by every means in their power
to punish them for their independ-
ence, and, although there is no
chance of electing Republican Sen
ator either in Washinton or Idaho,
the Republican National Commit.
tee and the Republican Senators
are doing their best to get a pliable
Populist. The effort to defeat Du-
bois began soon after the election,
and is continued. There is an agent
of the Republican National Com
miltee at Boise City with ample
funds, it is understood, to carry out
the wishes of his employers.
Mr.. Dubois, next to Senator Tel.
Ter, has been the sorest thorn in
the Republican side in the Congress.
He is bold, aggressive and able. He
was the first Of the free coinage Re-
publicans to bid defiance 10 the
Eastern leaders of the Republican
party, and the first of them to de-
clare his intention to leave the Re-
publican party if the gold elemen,
controlled it.
II has been whispered around in
Washington for several days that
the Republican Senators expected
toe have a Populist elected from
Idaho. The alliance between the
Republican Senators and the Pop
ulists of the Idaho Legislature seems
to be an unnatural one, but the Re-
publicans are willing to make
heavy investment to secure The dis
comfture Of Dubois. The report
that the Republicans were struggling
to elect Popuiist in Idaho was
confirmed this evening by the fol-
lowing dispatch received by the
Republic correspondent:
"Boise City, Idaho.-To O'Brien Moore,
correspondent St. Louis Republic, Wash
ington. Your dispatch to the Republic
is absolutely correct. The Republicans
will elect Popullst here.
FRED T. DUBOIS.
From this it would appear that
Senator Dubois anticipates the fate
that awaits him. He does not say
that the Republicans are trying to
elect Populist, but says that they
will. 1t is understood that what
ever Populist is elected through the
influence of the Republican Ma
tiona! Committee he will pied Ct
himself to vote for the Republican,
tariff bill.
