A Great Tunnel Scheme.

The Hartman Syndicate, now con.
trolling the Central Pacific railroad, is
about to construct a great tunnel
through the Sierra Nevada mountains,
thereby shortening the road many
miles and doing away with the snow
sheds and the interruption to traffic
encountered on the Summit division.
The tunnel will be twenty one miles in
length and will be tapped by air shafts
at intervals throughout its length. A
tunnel boring machine will be used in
the work aud nearly five years will be
taken TO complete it.

New Phoebe.

Phoebe, Nevada, is the one mining
camp on the Pacific coast that has had
its ups and downs hundreds of miles
from railroad. IL is now to be con.
nected by rail to the outer world and
the camp will surely take on a boom
such as 1t never dreamed of before.
The ore Of that camp has been wonder
fully rich and at the bottom of the
deep shaft good values in gold we're
being obtained at the time the mine
was shut down, years ago. The water
at the 1900 foot level was beyond the
control of the pumps then in use and
it was considered mex pedient to spend
the large amount of money necessary
to put in big machinery to handle this
great water volume. Now that mater.
ial can be cheaply obtained the mines
will be reopened and we may expect TO
see that camp enter upon most pros.

Tonopah Mines to be Stocked.

There was method in the booming of
the mines of the Tonopah country as
these mines are to be placed on the
stock market. There are only few
owners of stock in the company, and
as the mines are said to be netting the
company 30,000s a month it looks to
the casual observer as though the own
ers were throwing away twenty dollar
gold pieces. But the before taking
talks of the owners are to be taken
with few grains of saline matter. Ex-
perts who have visited the mines claim
that the ore zone is very limited in ex.
tent, aud the owners of the mines,
especially the Mizpah ledge, may fear
that it will pass out of the pay within
few hundred feet. No mine owner
was ever known to throw away good
thing and in stocking the Tonupah
mines it may be inferred that all the
big tales of the immensely rich ore
bodies were highly colored delusions.

Tea and Coffee Consumption.

From the London News.
The relation between national character
and the favorite national drinks would
form an interesting subject of speculation
1t might. for instance, be discovered that
be of more domestic and reflective ana
stolid temperament than one devoted equal
ly to the consumption of coffee. Some in
teresting statistics published by the board
of trade throw a good deal OF light upon
the comparative popularity of these TWO
most important of the non-alcoholic beVer-
ages With regard 10 cocoa, in spite OF
the advertising battle waged over the sup
ply of that innocent beverage, reliable sta
tistics seem to be wanting, and tea and
coffee far surpass cocoa in Importance as
an article of commerce and in popularity
as a drink. The consumption of tea in
this country, We find, exceeds that of all
the other European countries and Of the
United States together. In 1884 the tea
consumption per head in this country was
five pounds. Last year this rose to nearly
six pounds.
Even in Russia and the United States
the next largest tea drinkers, the consump-
ton does not reach one pound per head
while the Frenchmen cannot manage more
than one-twentieth OF a pound per an
mum.
Turning to coffee, We find very different
tale. Except Russia, we are about the
poorest coffee drinkers IN the world Seven
tenths of pound of coffee per annum suf-
fees for John Bull, while Jonathan re-
quires ten and one-half pounds per annum
The next largest consumers are the Ger
mans, with over six pounds a head, and
France, with over four and a half.

WANTS CUSTODY OF HER CHILD.
Writ of Habens Corpus Issued in
Favor of Mrs. SticleI.


Chief Justice Bingham of the Supreme
Court of the District Of Columbia this
morning directed the issuance of a writ
of habeas corpus commanding Hiram
Stickel to produce Frederick Stickel, a
child two years of age, before the court
at 3 o'clock this afternoon. This action
was taken on petition of Mrs. Mamie
Stickel, mother of the child. Hiram Stckel
is it's father.
In her petition Mrs Stickel informed the
court that the child had never slept out
OF her arms until last night; that it has
been sick with scarlet fever, and for the
first time since the illness was taken into
the open air the Sd instant; that it Is very
delicate, has running of the a
result of the fever, and needs the con-
slant care and love of it's mother
While she was absent from home yester-
day says Mrs Stickel, the father took the
child away, passing through the rear yard
and alley gate of the premises in doing So
unknown to Mrs. Stickel, so she says, and
has told her he intends to keep the boy,
and that she shall never again have the
custody OF the little one.
Mrs. Stickel charges that Mr.. Stckel is
not a proper person to care for the child
nor is he able to attend to it's wants on
account of it's tender age and sickly condi
ton. 1t is further declared that Mr.. Stick
ell has never properly supported his wife
or the child, they having been supported
by the mother and brother of Mrs. Stickel
In concluding her petition Mrs. Stickel
said to the court that she has suffered the
greatest mental anguish during the past
night and ever since her baby was taken
from her, and that her own health and
probably the life of the baby will be de-
stroyed if the latter Is not quickly re-
stored to her.
Attorney Campbell Darlington appears
for Mrs. Stickel.

dog towns at present twenty miles square.
Inc dog holes are not further than twenty
feet apart any place in the town. Once this
tract or land was a valuable farm, but the
dogs came into it and killed off the crops
every year until the land was abandoned.
one sure way to kill prairie dog is to pour
water down the hole of his burrow until he
comes to the surface and then shoot the lit
tie animal. But this was endless job, and
as fast as one dog was killed two were born
to take it's place Efforts have been made
TO MI up the holes with dirt and rocks, but
this was as endless job as the other AS
last resort the farmers hired little boys
and girls to stay at home and watch traps
set above the holes to catch the dogs
After while the prairie dogs became SO
smart that they would only come to the
surf at night, and then they would cut
down the corn and wheat crops.
1t is estimated that no less than $3.50 600
annually is sacrificed to these pests and
that 100000 acres of land have been made
worthless by prairie dogs.

POISON FOR PRAIRIE DOGS.
Kansas Appropriates 100000 to he
Used in DISCRIMINATING the Pests.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Kansas. which Is always discovering some
new pest. has now officially resolved to ex-
terminate the prairie dogs. The prairie
dog. it must be known. Is pest not equal
ed even by the grasshopper. which Tor
number of years made Kansas the butt end
of the universe and the land plastered
with mortgages
So when prosperity dawned upon the state
the farmers decided that the new pest OF
prairie dogs must go. The agitation against
the prairie dog was started about three
years ago and is just now receiving atten-
ton from the state Legislature, where bill
has been introduced to spend S1O,OOO III
poisoning every little dog on the plains.
In every township where the prairie dog
lives-and that includes about fifty counties
IN western KanSas-Special elections are to
be held for the purpose of choosing COM
missioner for the determination of the
pests. The poison. which is bisulphide of
carbon. Is to be paid for by the state, and
the poison will be purchased by the state
secretary of agriculture, and Will be sent
to the commissioner. He will saturate cot
ton with the bisulphide and push 1t down
the holes where these little animals make
their homes The dirt will then be tramped
down around them. and this is said to be
the last of them.
This experiment has been tried by a num-
Der Of farmers in western Kansas, and has
proved a great success. 1t invariably kills
the dogs and no other dogs ever burrow
another hole where the poison Is once
placed.
