The Black Prince is a mine that has not been worked for ten or twelve years, except that required by law, and in so doing a tun‘nel, was run in the hill some distance. Mr. Hothersall concluded not to spend any money on the tunnel but started a shaft in the creek, where there were no indications of a ledge. When the shaft was down abont fifteen feet a quartz vein of about two feet in thickness waa uncovered. A blast was putin and some of the quartz thrown out contained some of the finest kind of leaf gold specimens, and the ledge presents a very fine appearance. Now inetead of doing sufficient work to hold it Mr, Hothersall will push the development ahead to ascertain the full valye of his lucky strike. If it continues tu look well machinery will be put up forthe successful working of it, and a large number of men will be employed. The Black Prince is situated in the same group of mines that are now doing so well—the Providence, Mountaineer, Merrifield, Wyoming and others. Mr. Hothersall is a hard working man, and has paid out a great deal of money in prospecting, and his hosts of friends rejoice to know of his lucky find. Rich Strike. The new quartz mine which was recently discovered on Selby Hill promises to be a valuable one. The ledge was found about two montlis since by Ayers and two crushings have been had which yielded about $l4perton. The ledge is now about two feet thick, On Monday afternoon a blast was put in the ledgé and nearly‘every piece blown out showed more or less free gold. Some of the specimens which we saw were very rich, The ledge can be traced for about a mile, and quite a large number of locations have been made during the past few days. A great many years ago Selby Flat was one of the liveliest camps in the State when work was wholly done in gravel mines. Now that rich quartz has been struck in that vicinity it may yet assume its pristine glory. a tial Another One. The Grass Valley Union says another quartz mine has been discovernear Nevada City. That same statement will be made for years to come provided prospecting is continued the same as it has been for the past few months, There are hundreds of as good ledges as any now being worked that remain idle for want of capital to develop thew. This section consists of one vast network of quartz ledges, and we expect to hear for years to come that ‘“‘another quartz mine has been discovered near Nevada City.” Thereis not a better field im the world for prospectors . than this section offers. ~ Going to Washington, T.

The owners of the Texas quartz mine are highly elated over the continued bright prospects of their mine. They got in one set of timbers below the water level, and the ledge looks fine.

One of the saddest accidents that has occurred at Grass Valley, says the Tidings, for many years was the one.on lat Saturday night, in which young James F. Tierney received injuries, by an accidental explosion, in the Empire mine, from which he died in halfan hour. The particulars of the accident, as near as can be ascertained, are as follows: Tierney had just put down a hole in the face of the No, 11 drift, and retarned to the mouth of the drift for giant powder to charge the hole with. He obtained his powder and was ‘about to return to charge the hole. Mr. Kinsman the shiit boss, passed him plosion, and Wasley and Bray, on their way to the stopes, ‘had just left him. He was at that time by the powder box, with a giant powder cartridge in his hand. Messrs, Was. ley and Bray. had proceeded but a little way when they heard the explosion, the concussion of which knocked them down. As soon as they could regain their feet thay rushed back, and found young Tierney prostrate upon the bottom of the drift, crushed and bleeding. His clothing was torn completely from his body fremthe waist up. A large hole was cut in his breast, where a piece of rock roust have entered; the skull wae broken in at the frontal bone, and a cutin the abdomen let out a considerable portion of his bowels; while the skin was burned from both his hands, and the entire front portion of his body sprinkled with fine pieces of rock, and was powder burned. When fonnd, he was atill alive, but unconscious. He wascrying out for his sister Maggie to ‘‘please come and help me, I am falling.” The cries of the poor fellow in his. insane wailings were pitiful to hear, and strong and tender arms bore his bleeding body to the surface. Dr. Jones was quickly summoned, and just as he arrived the young man died. The doctor says that either the wound on the head, or the ones in the chest or abdomen, were fatal. As Tierney was very near the powJgler-box the explosion set off the remainibg cartridges in the box. There is no knowing what caused the explosion, butin all probability it was produced while capping the dynamite, James Tierney had been working in the Empire mine about two years His father was employed there, and baving became sorely afflicted with rheumatism, James asked to take his place, which the managers granted, and he has held it ever since; gaining the contidence and trust of his employers and the love and esteem of his fellow workmen. He was a sober and industripus young man, and being of a genial and happy disposition he made friends wherever he might be. He leaves a father and mother and several sisters and brothers to mourn their great loss, If the profound sympathy of this entire community goes for anything in this, their hour of sorrow, their grief will be lightened.

D. the Causes. ‘feiasteee men employed in the railroad yards have been discharged, and several others in the mill and other departments received notice of their dismissal, These discharges, together with those made at Sacramento and elsewhere, lead citizens to inquire as to the causes. We have seen noreasons published, but it is understood that railroad businesa is very dull, There is littlé or no wool to ship to market at present prices, and there is no wool moving except that on the backs of the sheep. The Appealsays: About fifty million bushels of wheat are stacked up in the warehouses of the interior, to say nothing about 20,-. 000,000 bushels of barley. The railroads of this State are feeling the general stagnation in business, and are cutting down to meet it. The holding of the year’s crop locks up money, and the stagnation that follows permeates all kinds of trade that give railroads employment. The Svuthern. Pacific has been equipped at great cost to carry wheat to Liverpool, via New Orleans,.at low rates, but there is no market. But it is certain that whenever business warrants the re-employment of the men discharged they will be returned to their old places. The railroads do not invite dull times, Lively business makes the employment of as many men as poesible imperative. OE Be The English Laborer. The lot of the English laborer is a hard one, says a writer in an English journal. ‘His wages do not averge more than twelve shillings a week. He rises before daybresk, breakfasts upon his cup of teaand piece of bread and lard, and sallies forth to plow, a crust and slice of bacon for oufdoor dinver rolled in his great red handkerchief. He returns, tired and exhusted at dusk, and thus his daily bread is gained by a monotony of toil only to ke compared with a lifelong]. telling of’a rosary of millstone. If he faint by the way, or gets toward old age, his wagesavre often reduced, and in some instances he must fall back upon the poor rate, His wife’s attention is mainly occupied by home duties—in mending garments. tending the garden and preparing meals. These latter consist of vegetables and bacon, bread, lard, and cheese. _— Money Vegetation. A short time since Paul Reinsch discovered several kinds of minute plants, includig n two algae which had before been unknown growing upen coins after having been long enough in cireulation toreceive thin incrustations of organic matter, A Hangarian botanist, Jules Schaarschmidt has more recently found the microscopic growths upon paper money, even the cleanest specimens not being free from them.

There is no knowing what caused the explosion, butin all probability it was produced while capping the dynamite, James Tierney had been working in the Empire mine about two years His father was employed there, and baving became sorely afflicted with rheumatism, James asked to take his place, which the managers granted, and he has held it ever since; gaining the contidence and trust of his employers and the love and esteem of his fellow workmen. He was a sober and industripus young man, and being of a genial and happy disposition he made friends wherever he might be. He leaves a father and mother and several sisters and brothers to mourn their great loss, If the profound sympathy of this entire community goes for anything in this, their hour of sorrow, their grief will be lightened.

D. the Causes. ‘feiasteee men employed in the railroad yards have been discharged, and several others in the mill and other departments received notice of their dismissal, These discharges, together with those made at Sacramento and elsewhere, lead citizens to inquire as to the causes. We have seen noreasons published, but it is understood that railroad businesa is very dull, There is littlé or no wool to ship to market at present prices, and there is no wool moving except that on the backs of the sheep. The Appealsays: About fifty million bushels of wheat are stacked up in the warehouses of the interior, to say nothing about 20,-. 000,000 bushels of barley. The railroads of this State are feeling the general stagnation in business, and are cutting down to meet it. The holding of the year’s crop locks up money, and the stagnation that follows permeates all kinds of trade that give railroads employment. The Svuthern. Pacific has been equipped at great cost to carry wheat to Liverpool, via New Orleans,.at low rates, but there is no market. But it is certain that whenever business warrants the re-employment of the men discharged they will be returned to their old places. The railroads do not invite dull times, Lively business makes the employment of as many men as poesible imperative. OE Be The English Laborer. The lot of the English laborer is a hard one, says a writer in an English journal. ‘His wages do not averge more than twelve shillings a week. He rises before daybresk, breakfasts upon his cup of teaand piece of bread and lard, and sallies forth to plow, a crust and slice of bacon for oufdoor dinver rolled in his great red handkerchief. He returns, tired and exhusted at dusk, and thus his daily bread is gained by a monotony of toil only to ke compared with a lifelong]. telling of’a rosary of millstone. If he faint by the way, or gets toward old age, his wagesavre often reduced, and in some instances he must fall back upon the poor rate, His wife’s attention is mainly occupied by home duties—in mending garments. tending the garden and preparing meals. These latter consist of vegetables and bacon, bread, lard, and cheese. _— Money Vegetation. A short time since Paul Reinsch discovered several kinds of minute plants, includig n two algae which had before been unknown growing upen coins after having been long enough in cireulation toreceive thin incrustations of organic matter, A Hangarian botanist, Jules Schaarschmidt has more recently found the microscopic growths upon paper money, even the cleanest specimens not being free from them. He has detected seven species, including although they are rare the two new algae described by Reinsch, —_——-0-< Connecticut clegymen are advocating before the Railroad .
