SILVER PEAK.

Id. BULLETIN This, the last OF
1877, sets me ia reflective mood,
and | feel like looking back and
chrenicling the doings in the Peak
for the year aud summing up the re-
suits. The Spring gave great prom
Use, the Summer indicated fine crop,
but killing frost early in the Fall
blasted all hopes. No sale of mines
was made, no work is being done on
the Blair mines, and it looks as tho
they will lie idle until the Klondyke
is worked out before they are sold or
worked by their present owner. II
it wasn't for John Chiatovich this
camp would be deserted. His mine
is yielding well, the ledge is large
and rich, he employs men to pack,
haul, and smalgamate the ore aud,
in SO doing, keeps the camp alive.
Louis Leidys mine is the only
other that amounts to anything and
that is good one, and is being de-
veloped now as niue should be.
All the rest of the work being done
in the mines amounts to nothing.
The reported disturbances in the
sun is pronounced fake by the sci
entists of the Peak. Professors
Wasson and Higgs and Senior Pogo
nip Chief of the weather bureau)
have examined it through quartz
glasses, smoked glasses and beer
glasses, and they pronounce the sun
all right. The astronomers are try
ing to give the sun black eye, so
as to increase their salaries.
The school children gave an exhi-
bition on Christmas Eve that was
credit to both them and their teach
err, Miss Bradshaw.
The stolen records of Montezuma
have not yet been returned, and the
miners will prosecute the man who
took them. He is we'll known here.
The morning after Christmas Chat
ovich's office and boarding house
caught fire, and nothing but the alb
sence of wind and the efforts OF the
men from the mine and in town saved
a large loss. There was a pile of
dry wood OF about 500 cords on one
side, a corral full of hay on the other
and if 1t had not been for hard work
there would have been a great loss.

The DunnonteIle Mine.

We are informed that the Dumon-
telle mine, on the west side of Mt.
Grant, is proving to be a valuable
property. The ledge is three to four
feet wide aud the ore mills about S35
per ton. A small mill is working the
ore, but it will only crush half ton
a day, and there is large lot of ore
waiting to be milled. The present
water supply is insufficient for a
larger mill, but plenty water can be
procured by tunneling near by. Min
ers who have been working in The
mine several months say it is one of
the best-looking mines in the county.

WOMAN AS a MbHoUT,
This Views Of One o. the Driver. o
Elephants.


This Views Of One o. the Drivers o.
Elephants.
She can do her best work in the world
oy turning her own talents to account
TO smooth the path of man whom she
can sway and who has all the possibih-
ties before him. So when the woman
does her utmost to Use her brain in
his interest, TO attend to all tiresome
details, so as to leave him as free as
possible from petty cares and worries.
Then the man can concentrate the
whole of his energy in his work, and
the woman's ambition Is yicariously
satisfied, She watches the friend,
brother and husband, and feels, with
a half-amnsed complacency, that but
for her his end would never have been
attained. And this eternal watching
and criticism develops in woman
greater power of knowing what men
will do in particular circumstances
She has seen so often before that par
ticular circumstances have particular
effects in determining the actions of
the workers. In the stress and hurry
of the fight the man is not conscious
which way the action is tending. He is
absorbed in doing the duty immediate
ly before him. The woman looking on
ooolly can say to him: See, this line
OF conduct must lead to this and this
consequence; you have only to take adj
vantage of it and your success will be
assured"
II Is therefore because woman is es-
sentially n looker-on that she is SO in
valuable as an adviser to man. To many
great man the advice of an Egeria,
even an Egeria of an obviously inferior
intellectual caliber to himself, is almost
essential. She can watch and weigh
the motives of his atlveraaries, she can
calculate the probable effect of his own
actions, and still more of his words,
she can eritieise his past decisions aud
indicate the best chance of success in
the future. In fact, to be a woman is TO
to be a mahout-a driver of elephants.
The goad with which she steers the ami
NAL is in her hand, but yet she knows.
as according to Mr.. Rudyard Kipling
every mahout knows, that some day,
sooner or later, the great beast will
get beyond her control and may turn on
her with a terrible punishment for the
insult of having kept him in subsection.
For the ultimate force in life, physical
strength, is against the woman as it is
against the mahout4-London Specta-

STAGE STORIES.
A Love Tale.

They were sitting together in her dress
ing-room. and yet there was no improprie-
ty about it for he had been her husband.
Out in front the curtain had just drop
ped and the orchestra was preparing for
it to lift again on the last act of East
Lynne" The scraping scenery and the
calls of the men could be heard plainly.
and once or twice he stopped to listen to
them. She was too busy combining with
deft strokes on her brow the assumed
marks of care and beauty to do more
than pay half attention to him.
Mag" he said. taking a long draw at
his cigar and then looking it over care
fully-"Mag what's the use?"
Nix" she replied carelessly. don't

he suggested. II couldn't have guessed

she answered, with animation: and then,
casting a wicked smile at him, Least

did me and that's what l wanted.
THE hell you did he remarked bland
ly. and then there was silence for mo-
ment. She was undermining her eyes and
he was tearing the wrapping from his
cigar. After second he spoke again
It's been double expenses" he said,

her but she was busy with her pencil.
You do some good work in the piece
and the Argus in Louisville gave me a
great notice for my part" he added.
Yes" she laughed, II played same
night in that town, and the weekly paper
threw a whole column at me-"
He tilted back in his chair and waited
until the final strains of music drifted in
with the call. Last act!" Then he look
ed her straight IN the eye, as II to note
the effect, and said. Got an advance sale
up to the hundred mark in Pottsville."

PRESS AGENTS ROUND TABLE

If Airline Crater who is to be seen this
Summer with the Parry Opera Company,
has one oddity in the world it is her alb
sent -mindedness. Not that absent-miud-
edness is always so unusual as to de-
serve being called odd, but in Miss Cra-
ter's case it leads her into so many
strange plights that no other word seems
to suit as well. About a month ago she
purchased fine and more or less costly
coffee pot. 1t was one of those patent
affairs, constructed with nunnberIess ap-
pendages and no end of internal mecha-
nism Beneath its mammoth structure
was an alcohol lamp of sufficient power to
boil the water and not infrequently to
melt away the various handles and other
outward projections on the apparatus.
Best of all il was built of highly polish
ed steel or nickel and shone so prettily
that Miss Crater determined that it was
more ornamental than useful and gave it
a place in her parlor that had been oc
cupied previously by a statue Of Bacchus.
Once there it seemed to have found
vocation and was used by the family as
a mixed catch-aH, what-not, wastebas-
ket table bowl, refrigerator and general
storehouse. No small boys pocket ever
held more or was Oftener brought INTO
requisition. But cne unlucky day an old
friend of the family happened in after
long absence, and a reminiscent talk was
followed by an invitation to tea and de-
lighted glance at the Iong-unused coffee
pot. An excellent meal was served, of
which the guest partook literally, and
then the fragrant brew of Brazil was
brought on in dainty china cups and fresh
from the new pot. Miss Crater explained
this, together with her skill in that branch
of cookery, as she handed the visitor
demi tasse. With a pleased smile that
parsonage raised the liquid to her lips and
tasted it. The delighted look vanished
abruptly and the coffee was put back in
place. Only its continued praise by the
hostess made the seeming victim finish
her portion, and then she was spared an
other helping but by a hurried departure.
When she had gone Miss Crater began on
the brew.
Then she faltered, turned pale, grew sick
and-investigated the patent machine. A
look at it was sufficient. Within its
closed and uneXplored interior was a col
lection such as the expositor never dream

gathered supply of miscellaneous arti-
cles that included a brass key, two spools

THE PASSING SHOW.

The undoubted theatrical event of last
week was the much-advertised and still
more taIked-of Star Gambol of the Lambs
These gentle and timorous beasts nave
been wont to amuse themselves at various
and stated periods by giving, in their met
riDolitan fold private entertainments that
have only become known through the
columns Of the dramatic Journals. Vague
and indefinite rumors were heard of the
most absurd carryings-on at these affairs
and many tales were told. the perform
ance of which should have inclined to
make the most brazen Lamb feel decided
ly sheepish. It was said that at these
affairs dignihed and 100-per-night actors

and remark: Il can imagine Nat Good

see how a. club composed exclusively of
bright men could disport itself became,
to certain extent. universal.
And just about this time 1t came to
pass that the Lambs grew tired of play
ing in green pastures. and purchased
themselves a beautiful clubhouse, with
rams head door knobs and sleeps foot
hat-racks in the hall. Money was need
ed TO pay for this, and after the organi-
zation began to realize its lack of that
scant commodity, some one suggested a
