STOLEN SWEETS THE SWEETEST
But Sometimes it is Not Very Safe to
Steal Them.

Van Gill is white man about &c
years old. He has been working at the
Southern freight depot, coupling ears.
He was in love with Dora Caudle, a
young woman of the other half. He
wanted to do something to ingratiate
himself into Dora's favor.
So when he found the men at the de-
pot putting some packages of Royster's
candy into box car, it occurred to
him that he might easily steal one
and take it to his "baby." The candy
was about the last thing put into the
car, then the door was closed and sealed
but not locked.
That might Gill went back, broke open
the car, stole a fifty pound box of the
confections and took 1T to Dora. Re
ioicing in the wealth of sweetness show
cred upon her. Dora distributed the pea
nut brittle, buttercups and molasses
candy around among her friends.
Her generosity caused inquiry. In
quiry developed some of the facts, and
these led to .Gill's arrest, trial and bind
ing over to court in 500 bond by the
mayor Being unable to give the bond
Gill is now in Jail.
Thomas Burwell was also sent ON to
court for the larceny of FIVE dozen eggs,
John West, colored was given twenty
days on the roads for vagrancy.

DRAINING THE COMSTOCK,
New System OF Pumping Proposed to tn,
World

World.
The movement toward drainage and
resumption of deep mining in the Com
stock, Nevada, lode received Il material
advance last Saturday. says the Min
ing and Scientific Press, when, at n
meeting in San Francisco of the exec
utive committee of the Comstock
Pumping Association. contract was
ordered made with the Risdom Iron
and Locomotive Works of San Fran
cisco with intent to drain the water 800
feet below its present level. The agree
ment is to supply machinery for such
proposed drainage, the plant TO be
placed in a station on the Sutro tunnel
level of the &. x G. shaft. For such
drainage the contractors are to receive
$4,000, in six equal installments. No
water exists in the Comstock above the
1000 (Sutro tunnel level. and that will
be used ms the base of operations. The
contract involves the furnishing of APP
paratus with daily pumping capacity
of 100000 gallons from the CONSOLE
dated shaft into the tunnel, and its OPP
erations till the water is lowered 5oC
feet below its present level. Payment
is contingent upon the lowering of the
water. The method proposed is by q
water jet working under head of
1900 feet, discharging through a con
tracted throat, the vacuum produced
by the pressure and velocity of this
water carrying a continuous stream
up from the flooded levels TO the Sutr,
tunnel, through which 1t is to flow.
