The Beautiful Appearance of the Tn'
 terior of Nevada Cavern.


 terior of a Nevada Cavern.
 On the north side of the Osgood range of mountains, about four miles east of Eden creek. there is natural cave of quite large dimensions. It is in the limestone formation and has the appearance of an old worked=out mire with its stopes, raises and Winzes. It is almost impossible to ind the entrance. as it is covered with growth of underbrush. The first thing that 3 person notices is a small creviee ir the rocks, but as he erawls into the ereviee on hands and knees he finds that it widens as he goes down About fifteen feet from the entrance a man can stand up and walk down the gradual incline, which is at about 60 degrees. At a place thirty feet from the mouth there Is a raise some thirty feet high and drift forty feet long. The sight which meets the cave seekers gaze at this point is most beautiful On the ceiling large stalae- tites hang in clusters. and the walls are decorated with crystals of lime tn- termingled with drops of water, giving It the appearance of being set with millions of diamonds. Farther down the cave widens until a chamber is reached which is over sixty feet across and over fifty feet high. There are numerous other passages or cayerns. and on the left there is a passage big enough to admit the body, that opens into a second chamber which is about twenty feet across and ten or fifteen feet high. h the main chamber, some twenty feet high, can be seen the open ing of another chamber, but as there is no timber near 10 make ladders the upper cavern has not yet been explored There are, no doubt, other large chambers which could be found were closer exploration to be made. Stalactites and stalagmites can be seen in all directions. Water is dropping continually, and the light of a candle shining upon these crystals and drops of water gives the cave Q very en- trancing appearance. This cave is the home of the wood rat, and there are indications that there might be thou sands of the little animals which make this natural wonder their home.--Win- nemucca Silver State.

U is not anticipated that the coming census will show more than a 20 per cent increase in the population of the United States for the decade. Immi- grafton has been small compared with the previous ten years, and the birth rate is declining. The increase from 1870 to 1880 was over 30 per cent. Im- migration during the first half of the next decade was enormous, and yet the Porter census for 1890 showed an in- crease in the ten years of only PAS per cent. H. T. Newcomb, a statistieian of the agricultural department, estimates for next year population of "A .480. .o00, which would be an increase over 1ss0 or less than 19 per cent.

His story is so full Of details that prove the mans profound understand ing of what he is talking about, that one remains equally amazed at the brute's power to dissemble and it's in tended victims insight into the would be murderer's character And yet, from a psychological standpoint. an elephant never gives any other such in- dication of mental power as is exhib- tied in it's revenge. That patient. watchfuI, implacab1e hatred, often pro- voked simply because a man is in at tendance upon another animal (for 1t is the rule with tuskers to detest their next neighbors), speaks more conclu- sively of a high intellectual guide than all stories. true or false. that have been told of their ability. Such coneentra- ton and fxedness of purpose; such careful, unrelaxed vigilance; such per- feet and consistent pretense and, when the time comes, such desperate. unhesi- tating energy as homicidal animals ex- hfbit, are more impossible without an irregular development.

MORE TROUBLE
PLEASANT HILL ACQUITTED.
The Jury Deliberated Four Hours Before
Bringing in q Verdict-A Murder Case.

The case of the United States vs.
Pleasant Hill, accused of violating the
postal laws, came to an end Saturday
night after occupying the attention OF
the district court for an entire week.
The arguments were concluded late in
the afternoon, and at $40 o'clock Judge
McFfe finished delivering his charge to
the jury. The latter after being out
about four hours returned a verdict of
not guilty.
The district court this morning took
up the territorial criminal docket, and
the first case called was that of Tomas
D%ominguez for the alleged murder of
Clemente Gutierrez. District Attorney
Gortner appears for the territory and
W. H. Pope for the defendant. The
case is In old one, wherein it is alleged
that on June S, 1895, the defendant and
the deceased quarreled and the former
killed the latter with a rock by striking
him on the back of the right side of the
head. The entire morning was con
sumed in the effort to secure a jury.
The case of p. A. Loughran vs.. T. E.
Curtin for damages was called this
morning. Both parties agreed to waive
a jury, but as Judge McFie declines to
sit during the case it was passed for the
time. The plaintiff also agreed to waive
u jury against District Attorney R. c..
Gortner.

REFUSE IN THE RIVER BED.
An Abominable Practice Which Should Be
Ahated.

TO the Editor of the New Mexican:
Santa Fe, N. M, September 17.-Dear
Sir: The winter season is approaching,
and with it the danger from outbreaks
or smallpox n other epidemics. In
Colorado, sporadic cases of smallpox
v occurred all summer, and there is
great danger of the disease being car
ried into New Mexico. The main weap-
on against the pest is thorough clean
illness. The city authorities should see
to it that back yards and cesspools are
cleaned, and above all should prevent
the dumping of refuse in the Santa Fe
river, which is a common practice of
late. The city authorities are not doing
their duty if they do not have the river
bed cleaned and prosecute to the full
extent of the law all those dumping
refuse into the river and river bed. In
no other city would such a course be
tolerated, and why should it be in a city
which is the capital of the territory Of
New Mexico? Let the city set a good
example in sanitation, and there need
to be no fear of smallpox Or n other
epidemic disease this fall.
