NEWS OF THE MINES.

which experienced an excitement" be- tween lSoo ana 1871. yielding over million dollars. in that time. The creek has been now, California men have taken hold of the best of the old territory and arranged to work the large amount of territory on the scale and by the methods which have made California famous for its successful hydraulic working of placer ground. A large amount of money will be invested in this operation, and according to the Vic IOrla COlonlSt, IL means new era for Omineca.
 At a meeting of the California Debris Commission last week nine applications to mine by the hydraulic process were considered. On account of the dry sea son but few permits have been applied for during the summer and fall. Since the Caminetti law went into effect the com mission has licensed 30S hydraulic mines and rejected S2 applications. This is ex- cluslVe Of the nine under consideration.
 The manufacture of powder is, oddly, enabling the copper mine at Spencerville, Nevada County, to be busily worked The ore contains 50 per cent of sulphur and Is Stege in the manufacture of sulphuric acid. For several months a number of teams have been busy hauling the ore to Wheatland where 1t is shipped by rail: About SOOO tons have been so shipped since last spring
 The Columbus Mining Company has been organized at Coulterville, Mariposa County. to work group of six mines on the mother lode in that region. The com pany expects to develop number of properties. Two of it's mines are the La fayette and the Eureka No. ?, which were profitably worked to a depth of 150 feet until the shaft was destroyed by fire in 1872. Since then they have been idle.
 The La Porte Gold Gravel Mining Con- pany has completed restraining dam 40 feet high on Rabbit Creek, near the town of LaPorte, Plumas County, and will be ready for extensive hydraulic operations before long.
 Work in the new deep shaft and hoist ing works at the Kennedy mine has be- gun. The Improvements planned at this great mine are extensive and notable.
 According to the Colfax Sentinel a rich strike has been made in the drift mine of the Gold Run Gravel Company near Gold Run. A 600-foot extension of the old main tunnel has encountered a body of very rich blue gravel. The buried chan nel is 150 feet wide and the gravel Is taken out for five feet above bedrock. The com pany owns 12,000 feet of channel, which Is now tapped at the lower end. The fu- ture will see the development of a great property.
 The Argonaut, Amador County, has paid tenth dividend, making a dividend record of S200,000 in ten months. If the Argonaut were at Cripple Creek the blow ing about 1t wouldn't cease during the night, but California, with its mines all kept away from stock boards, hardly mo- tices such home records.
 Indians have run into some good gravel ing to the Sonora Union-Democrat. and the bucks and squaws are cleaning up'' for the first time in their lives. Their mining operations are very primitive.

DIR. PEPPERS DILIGENCE.

Perhaps more than any other man in Philadelphia the late pr. William Pepper possessed the rare faculty of doing sev- eral things at once and doing them all aged to keep them busy even during office hours when dozen patients were wait ing to see him. It was no unusual sight to see him emerge from his office, and during the time the next patient was making his way to the inner sanctum Dr. Pepper would stand in the doorway and dictate letter to one of the secretaries which might concern one of the many public works in which he was interested. Back into his office he would go to discuss symptoms and make an examination of his patient, and when the door opened down perhaps a portion of an article for medical paper or advice to other phy- sicianS by whom Dr. Pepper had been called in consultation.
 Another remarkable faculty possessed by the eminent physician was his ability to sleep whenever he chose to lie down. He worked on an average eighteen hours a day and when he began to feel the ef- fleets of fatigue he would lie down on a couch or a sofa and be sound asleep in a minute or two. A nap, or ten minutes would suffice for several hours work to follow It is related of him that on one occasion he called to see man suffering from some disease and. finding him asleep, the doctor lay down by his side and was soon fast asleep also. Cautiously cated perfect regularity at meals for his patients, he did not himself observe the rules he laid down for others. He ate when he found time. and his meals were often extraordinary combinations. He was once seen lunching at the Broad tween roast beef and apple pie.-Phila- delphia Record.

PURSUED BYBILLowso oFwHEAT

Six thousand bushels of unSacked wheat got loose and went on tear. It happened in the warehouse of the F. c. Ayres Mercantile Company yesterday afternoon. The scenes that followed were something similar to those de- scribed by Victor Hugo when cannon got loose from it's fastenings on board ship and rolled and reared from one end of the gundeck to another until the ship was disabled and a number of it's crew killed. Only, nobody was killed by the wheat.
 In the rear of the Ayres warehouse are four great bins, built up from the ground floor and capable of holding twenty five carloads of wheat at a time. They are substantial affairs, and once grain of wheat gets into them it is pretty likely to stay there, safe from rats and thieves, until its owners get ready to shovel it out again.
 About o'clock yesterday afternoon the company's bookkeeper, sitting in his office at the front of the building, 100 feet or more from the bins, heard a terrific ripping, tearing, splintering sound, as if the whole end of the ware house was being torn out by monster hand. Before he had time to jump out of his chair this sound was succeeded by another, rumbling, grumbling, roaring, moving noise, like the coming down of the cataract at Lodore or the approach of a hurricane. He rushed from the little box of an office out onto the main floor of the warehouse. He paused, gasped for breath and threw up his hands.
 What he saw was a giant wave of wheat flowing toward him, licking at the very heels of a dozen laborers who had been at work near the bins and who were now fleeing for their lives. VI,; Ii fNa of snapping from its crest now and then and falling in a grainy spray on the heads of the pursued. Afterward the men ran whiskbrooms down their backs to brush the tickly wheat out.
 The ocean of wheat moved onward for a score of feet or more and then calmed down as suddenly as if a bar rel of oil had been spread on its troubled waves. The bookkeeper yelled to the laboring men to stop running, pulled his hands down to their accus- toned pockets, took a deep breath and whistled.
 By and by the cloud of dust that had arisen drifted away and the bookkeeper and the laboring men could see what had happened. It didn't take long. One of the stout beams had grown weak from the burden on it's back and snap ped in two. A hundred other stout beams had followed suit. There was nothing left for the imprisoned wheat to do but to make a rush for a less confined resting place. There were 5000 bushels of it in the bin, and 1t was no wonder that it's moving caused conster- nation.
 After the dozen laboring men had re- covered their wits and gone to work again the little bookkeeper in the front office said the damage done would not exceed $50. All that was necessary to do to save the wheat was to sweep it up off the floor and put it in sacks Denver Republican.

STRUGGLE WITH A WILDCAT.

Speaking of wildcats" said sports man, "let me tell you of an encounter l had last fall with one of those treacher- ous beasts I had been out shooting along the banks of the Machias River in Maine, and late in the afternoon, when was returning to my home In Whitney vile, 1t came on to rain rain so , heavily ,, that bermans hut afforded. Being tired, l soon fell fast asleep. Three or four hours later I was aroused by growl from I saw at the entrance to the hut two of those much-talked-of balls of fire into which wild animals eyes are transformed at night. My dog was game and without any urging it went for the beast without a moments hesitation. But Grouse was no match for his wiry antagonist. and as soon as 1t could the dog broke away and ran out of the hut bleeding, torn ana yelp- ing with pain.
 7Then, the wildcats blood being up, it came in to have a tusSle with me. 1 felt for my gun, but it had unfortunately been knocked out of reach during the fight be- tween the two animals, and the only weapon of defense l had was large jackknife. This I quickly opened, and as the wildcat came near me l lodged 1t and plunged the knife well into it's shoulder. The cut made the beast furi- ous, and it sprang for me with such vio- however, succeeded in throwing the wild cat from me- but not until 1t had bitten my hand badly. The pain made me drop the knife, and on regalnlng my feet l put my injured hand In my coat pocket, and the first thing 1 felt was, box of red pepper which 1 had brought as sea- soning for my lunch.
 'This gave me an idea. and opening the box I poured some of the pepper into my hand and just as the wildcat was com ing toward me again 1 dashed the hot stuff into its eyes. Its howls of pain and rage showed that the pepper had reached the desired spot, and I took advantage of this to rush out of the hut.
 'At the door I found my gun, and then locating the beast by the noise 1t made l fired. Everything. became still. After a little while I went in the hut and struck a match. I was so scared at the size of the dead animal. which weighed fifty pounds and was 3 feet s inches long, that I put for home and never thought of the big bag of game which l had left be- hind until I reached Whitneyville." ."-New York Sun.
