PIUTE sUGAR CROP

llth.-Buena Vista John, a steady
and reliable Piute, informs us that the
Indians are now engaged in harvest
ing their sugar crop in the Big
meadows, three or four miles from
Lovelock. The natives have gathered
there from Austin, Walker river, Vir-
ginia City, Carson and other points
in the state The crop is abundant
this year and some of the natives
have gathered as much as twenty
sacks of sugar. The sugar is like gum.
1t exudes from the cane and hardens
in little humps on the stalks. When it
hardens it is easily separated from the
cane by threshing. There are two
grades of sugar, one. of which is al
most pure white, and the other is of
a brownish hue. Some of the Indians
cut the cane and thresh it, while 9th
ers shake the stalks and catch the
sugar in baskets. Those who ex-
pressed doubts of sugar cane being
indigenous to the country growing on
the lower Humboldt can now satisfy
themselves as to the truth of what the
Indians say about it by going to the
Big meadows or getting an Indian to
give them a sample of the sugar.

HAY BURNED AT REBEL CREEK

10th.-A hundred tons of hay be-
longing to the Snapp brothers at sReb
el Creek was burned night before last.
The hay was stacked on the meadows
about four miles from Snaps station
on the Idaho road, and in plain sight
of the house. As there was nobody
camped in the vicinity, the origin of
the fire is a mystery. The loss is con
siderable, as there is no hay for sale
within 20 miles of the station.

last evening. Who can explain the
cause of this? The mine is said to be
looking well and the company s mill

There is evidently a movement to

men are looking for a place to build
the new main post Office of New York.
The post Office department has al
ready chosen the site at the new
Pennsylvania terminal; II has been
paid for, and the plans are being
drawn for the building. But prior to
the final passage OF the bill authoriz-
ing the building a resolution was
passed by congress appointing a com
mission, to consist OF the postmaster
general and the chairmen of the two
building commissions. to go to New
York and make report upon suita-
BILE location.
Postmaster General Cortelyou, In
his annual report, stated that since
the site had been chosen he had not
called the commission together and 1t
was thought at the post office depart
ment that 1t was all over. But a con-
gressional commission must perform
it's function, new postmaster gen.
eral has succeeded Mr. Cortelyou.

cepts. Last year, knowing that the
station was soon to be completed, the
street railroad officials asked for
right Of way to the new station. The
committee was ready enough to grant
1t, but the officials of one traction com.
pany objected TO something which the
officials of the other company wanted.
and as a result Of the fight action was
postponed for year, and now Wash.

The street car companies are out

ed, and the upshot OF the whole thing
will be that the Directing company
will gain nothing, for the point which
1t fought Is now counted as lost, and
the ground plan has been laid for fu-
ture objection to franchise extensions.
The walking Washingtonians are
angry enough to make certain that
their memories will hold on to the
present grievance for years to come.

wise there would be double reason for
the present cry for more room.
Former Senator PETER OF Kansas,
who at one time. largely perhaps be-
cause of his picturesque views on peo-
pies rights and because of his equally
picturesque whiskers, was much In
the public mind and eye, practically
lives in Washington. He Is engaged,
1t is understood, In the nothing less
than herculean task OF making an In.
dex for the Congressional Record. 1t
is said that Mr.. PETERS patience is
equal to his soultrylng employment.
Former Senator Stewart, Silver"
Stewart of Nevada, is in Washington.
He is as white as the snow on the top
of his Nevada mountains, but despite
his S0.odd years he is as strong appar-
emily as any tree that grows below
the mountain timber line. Former
Senators Blair of New Hampshire and
Thurston of Nebraska are practicing
law In Washington. The list Is too

gazing upon the untouched viands,
utters snort of rage. Finding his
lady love still cool to him, Mr.. Barnes,
In very desperation, goes to shooting
again.
The crew. anxious to see his skill,
toss bottles into the air and throw up
potatoes for his unerring bullets, and
every time the American puts pellet
into one of them he wishes sardonical-
ly 1t was the heart of Cipriano Danella.
This seems to make his aim very true,
and his success Is so astounding that
the crew raise cheer as he puts one
bullet through two potatoes thrown
into the air at the same time as they
cross each other in their flight.
The reports of his pistol floating
over the placid water reach consid-
cradle distance. At all events, they
and the cheer excite some comment on
a little felucca that has been sailing
an almost parallel course; apparently
very fast craft, 1t draws somewhat
nearer.
Attracted by this, Enid turns her
sharp eyes from the pistol shooting
she has been watching languidly and
suddenly exclaims: why, it's the
lateen-rigged fishing boat we saw in
the harbor of st. Tropez yesterday
afternoon"
Are you sure?" asks Barnes, with
some concern in his tone. as he ceases
his target practice.
Certain" replies Edwin, who has
put his sailor eyes upon the craft.
THAT felucca's got a peculiar cant to
her mainsail I'd know anywhere" To
this he adds: Il wonder where's she
bound, to the sardine fishing off Cape
Corso?"
At this information the American
gazes very unpleasantly toward the lit

Mental PHOTOGRAPHY.

A member of the Photographic So
ciety has been trying the new mental
photography which has been making
some stir in Berlin. This local ex-
perinenter took blank Photographic
plate into his dark room, bound II to
his forehead and for 80 minutes con-
centrated his thoughts on the face Of
a close friend OF his. The developed
plate, which he says is the identical
one that he bound to his forehead,
shows, family, traces of face that
has many points of resemblance to
that of his friend. Such, at least, Is
the opinion of some who have seen
the plate. though others declare that
its markings are indeterminate and
look like nothing in particular. The
point raised by the experiment is
whether or not an image on the hu
man brain can be photographed. since
tbs x-ray can secure an image OF the
arteries of body or OF something In.
