Eighteenth Century Life.

These brief extracts from the letters
of Elizabeth Montagu, the queen Of
the bluestockings," throws curious
light OH eighteenth century life in Eng
land. She was suffering from SWELL
cd lip. Promptly the great DR.. Mead
prescribed blister to her back. She
writes: II am better than l was; but,
my mouth not being yet perfectly re-
duced, have got fresh blister upon
my back. Well may 1t bend with such
a weight of calamities. have sent for
my bathing cloathes and on Sunday
night shall take souze. / think 1t a
pleasant remedy" Apparently in 1741
lady could not take bath even on
Sunday night and in the privacy of
her chamber without her "bathing
cloathes." Mrs. Montagu writes again:
"NIy lip is not entirely reduced, though
l have been blistered twice, once blood
ed, and have five times taken physic,
have lived upon chicken and white
meats and drank nothing but water,
1 have suffered great disappointment
about the warm bath which am nd.
viscd to try, for the bathing tubs are
SO out of order that we have not yet
been able to make them hold water"

The ERA is in receipt of the fol-
lowing interesting letter from DR.. c.
F. Braden, formerly of Metcalf, who
is now at Mascota, Mexico:
"Mascota has an altitude of 5000
feet, yet has d mild tropical climate
with all the zones fruits and ver-
durers. The town of Mascota is two
and a half days mule-back journey
from Ameca, the western terminal of
the Guadalajara branch of the Mexi-
can central. and is about forty-fYe
miles inland from the Pacific. The
place has about 1000 people,

Fabulous Riches Of Samples from Silver
Bell Country Gives TusOn Fever.

Reports reached Tucson of feverish
activity and excitement at Silver
Bell over reported rich gold strikes
in the Silver Bell and the Silver Hill
districts. The two districts adjoin
each other.
The reports were strengthened by
the arrival of Louis Decker in the
city with specimens of rich gold ore.
The specimens which Mr.. Decker
brought in with him were extra
ordinary rich and would run about
S16,000 to the ton.
AS soon as news of the strike
reached the town of Silver Bell there
was a rush to the district, and in
few hours more than 100 claims had
been staked out. 1t is stated that
the saloons and dance halls where
the miners make merry were de
serted in a twinkling and Silver Bell
appeared for time like a deserted
city.
Just how much of this rich ore
there is in the district is not known,
but should there be any considerable
amount of it found, there will be
rush to the Silver Bell and the Silver
Hill districts which would bring back
memories of the palmy days of Bull
frog, Tonopah and Goldfields.
The news of the discovery has in
convenienced the mining companies
operating at Silver Bell, and they are
advertising for miners. 1t is stated
that when the news reached the
camp that miners who were on shift
even left their work and joined the
general rush to the new district.
Location notices soon became
rather a scarce article, and it is
stated that within d short time they
sold for 81 apiece.
