Gifts 10 the Library of Congress for the year
1872 have been very numerous. 1t is only since
the library has moved into the new building that
II has received gifts Of any Importance. but now
that valuable collections be safely cared
for there has been some inducement to persons
either TO give or lend their collections. thereby
rendering them very useful by giving pleasure
and instruction to the public One of the most
novel gifts received recently is thirty-n vol

the Pail language, printed in the Simose alpha

nent Buddhists. These books have been recently
placed exhibition in one Of the galleries with a
collection OF rare old books and bindings which
embraces some of the best examples Of the book
binders art produced in England, France, Ger
many, Holland. Spain and Italy, from the middle
OF the sixteenth the close of the eighteenth
century. Among these is little volume bound
by lie Gayon in 1852. which bears the arms of

the library of the great Foscarini, Doge Of Ven
Ice The style Of most Of the ancient bindings
Is armorial, their cover designs being composed
OF narrow conventional borders and the insignia
OF either the owner the ruler in whose
reign they were bound The cover to a Roman
nissaI dated 1865, is an exception TO this rule
Of simplicity, it is an example Of the most
elaborate binding done in that early period In

Armenian binding of 1920 All of these are in
an excellent state Of preservation, and even the

A Valuable Discovery.

Yesterday Mr.. e &. Humphrey, who
is visiting in this city, brought a
piece OF turquoise to a local jeweler
for his opinion on the specimen. As
soon as the piece was shown it was
pronounced the real article and il has
about the most perfect color IN that
particular jewel that has ever been
exhibited in this section Nj Hum
phrey. who owns an interest in the
mine that the specimen came from
was agreeabiy surprised at the opinion
OF a number OF experts who took 8
look at the gem. The mine is situat-
ed near Crow Springs on the road TO
Tonopah, and from the work done on
the claim it looks like the turquoise
mine will mean about as much as
some OF tne famous mineral deposits
in TOnopah. The specimen chat was
brought TO this city for exporting has
been sent TO san Francisco where il
viii he thoroughly tested. f'or the

fact the modern admirers are looking
for, is found in the specimen maj has

10 inches. Even the wind failed to
blow to any graf extent, the total
movement being only 1907 miles, the

Expected Delay Is Ex-
pePienced In the Operation
OF the Bic Plant.
Shaft Must Be Re-Timbered or a
New One Sunk Without
Further Delay.
No Ore Is Being Raised and the
Mill Is Shut Down for
T the Present.

Operations IN the Chairman mine and
mill are again practically At ssand-
still, with thousands Of tons of good
ore.in sightin the mine and the mill In
readiness to treat IT alta big profit.
1t was realized last week that the
shaft was on the verge Of caving In and
all the men were accordingly withdrawn
from the mine With the exception Of
those employed In the new drift. No
ore is being raised. II being decided
that 1t ls no longer safe to attempt to
operate the skip, ana as result the
mill will be idle until necessary repairs
are made.
Only few days. previous to the shut
down still another big body of ore,
carrying values Of more than s10. was
discovered between the 100 and 200 lev.
els, and the ore now In sight Is sufficient
to have, kept the nill in operation for
an indefinite period.
The difficulty which has just arisen
has been expected for long time. and
more than a year ago it was decided to
sink new working shaft on the west
side OF the eulch, in the vicinity OF the
new mill. However, nothing was ever
done in that direction, and as the nec-
essary timbers for repairing the old
shaft are not now on hand. and there Is
likely to be some difficulty in getting
them In tho near future, the date on
which the operations will be resumed In
the mine and mill is uncertain, but 1t is
safe to say the delay will not be pro-
lonRed one.
During the shutdown cleanup"
will be made In the mill and some nec-
essary improvements effected In the
tramming OF the ores from the hoist.
When work b resumed it is expected
that everything will run more smooth
ly and the ore will be handled more sat
isfactorilly and economically.

The bad feeling which has been
known to exist for long time between
Governor ler and Francis G. New

Copper Flat Shaft.
P.J. Kelly, who had shoulder dis
located by the falling of pump In the
Copper Flat shaft few weeks ago, was
the victim Of another accident on sun
day morning last, and the reports
which first reached town were to the
effect that he was horribly msngisd.
It seems that work had been suspend.
cd in the mine to permit the miners to
attend the funeral OF the late Geo. P.
Paul, and Mr.. Kelly went down on the
cage for the purpose Of baling out the
accumulated water at the bottom. The
bucket was attached to the cage and
when 1t ueared the board which had
been placed across the shaft just above
the water level Mr.. Kelly gave the sig-
nal to stop, and was just stepping out
when the cage lifted, the engineer
understanding from the signal given
that the cage had dropped too low
MIR. Kelly lost his balance and was
caught between the floor OF the steel
cage and timber, receiving bad
so ueeze across the abdomen, but for
tunately the cage was stopped before
he was cut in two.
The cage then lowered a tribe and
the unfortunate man attempted to draw
himself on, giving another signal to
the engineer, but he was so badly
bruised and suffering such pain that he
scarcely knew what he was doing.
Again the cage went up and again Kelly
was caught between the floor aud. the
| timber this time across the legs The
engineer felt the resistance and lowered
again and finally the injured man was
brought to the surface.
Drs. Davis and Richardson were bott
sent for and after careful examination
had been made 1t was found tha
no bones were broken. and Mr.. kell,
is now able to be about with the aid o
crutches, but he will keep weathel
