MINING UNDER THE SEA.

There is nothing new in the p os- ecution of mining under the bed of the sea-" said L. c. McElroy of Perth, Scotland, at the Windsor hotel yester- day. "I have a cousin who is now engaged in taking out coal from a mine which extends entirely ac. oss an arm of the sea, which we call firth in Scotland. The mine has belonged to the family for centuries and has been operated on large scale for more than 100 years. Early in the present century it was found that the vein was dipping under the sea, and for nearly fify years there was con- stant effort on the part of the owne! s to devise some plan whereby the coal could be extracted. About thirty years ago, I think, these efforts were successful. A shaft protected by a caisson that extends into the solid rock which forms the roof of the vcln has been sunk in the firth about two miles from the shore, and the coal is now taken directly from the mine and transferred to the lighters, the water being deep enough to permit the yes sells to come right up to the caisson.' Denver Republican.

the benefit the town derives from the operatives of the Mexican Sulphur company. The mining, or rather quarrying of the sulphuric material is being vigorously prosecuted, n fo ce of fifty men being constantly employ ed. So'nearly pure is the ore that the assistance of water is needed to ex- tinguish the flames that spring up after each blast. Even the concussion of the miners tools occasions combus- tion. Beside the sulphur being taken out a vein of pure alum two feet in width, encountered in the same de-
 posit, is being taken out, and will be shipped. The steamer Mohave will return today with sulphur for ship
 ment to the Pittsburg Asphaltum com pany's works at Ventura, Califo nia.

CONSTABLE HAD TO FIGHT.
Went to Serve a Writ of Replevin
 to Secure a Bicycle.

Jacksonville, Fla, Feb. 13.-COnsta- ble Frank Land has his own troubles and a black eye, all marking the path of his faithful footsteps in trying to discharge his sworn duty. Saturday afternoon the constable visited the house of Morris WexIer and Mary Wexler with a writ of replevin. The writ was sued out by the guardian ad litem of Lena Alderman, who wanted bicycle that the defendants had in their possession and refused to sur render without a legal battle, and it finally proved to be a physical one also. Constable Land weht to the nvuse, and demanded the bicycle. When the constable entered, Mrs. Wexler became perceptibly restless. Then the constable, seeing the unwill- ingness of the defendants to give up the property, started on search through the house, and when the con- stable finally opened the kitchen door, where the bicycle had been placed, he says that he was bounced upon by the man and woman, and was com pelled to defend himself by the free use of his handcuffs.
 MT. Land fought long and well, and like the knights of the historical nov el, struck the female only in trying to hit the male. He swung his hand cuffs in wide circles, and if Mary Wex- Ter happened to receive a blow it was all her fault, as the constable was striking at the man. The constable left the house with the bicycle in his possession.

''The experience that has beea ac- quired in these latter years has in dicated the best methods of ventila- tion and cooling. The compr5 ssed air used in the workings produces by its escape a very sensible lowering of tn 2 temperature, which can be made still lower by using saline solutions whose freezing points is as low as 20 de- grees A degrees Fahrenheit) and which will circulate through pipes along the tunnel. The removal of the debris can be affected by electric loco motives; thus the horses, which use the precious air, can be done away with. The electric light, which can be operated without contam hating or consuming the air, will also render great service; these improvements can be carried out with ease. Together with the preceding they will form a group of processes that will enable us to gain the victory over the interior heat of the great Alpine tunre's.
 Tt is very curious-almost pal Iadox ical-to find oneself, under etel nal snows, in physiological conditions an alagous to those of tropical regions. Under it's cold covering of ice, the mass of the Alps is in reality a glow ing furnace, and nowhere else in na- ture do we find such a striking con- trast between the intense cold of the upper summits and the inexhaustible source of heat shut up within the depths of the globe"

TALE OF A PROSPECTOR.

One of the myriad tales which make up the story of prospectors, their lives and their luck, was told to a party of miners at the Palace ho- tel last week by Tom Mcdonald of French Gulch, who is one of the Shasta county crowd enjoying the jubilee MT. Mcdonald has been one of the widely known mining men of the state since he got rich out of the Mcdonald mine adjoining the great Brown Bear at Deadwood, and put a lot of his money into San Francisco real estate.
