_ NEVADA CITY, CALIFORMIA.
‘The methods in vogue among the
ancients for the development of
mines were, according to the Arizona
Daily Star, vastly different from
those in use ‘nowadays. For instance, in the country south of Pres.
cott the descent of shafts were
made by: means of* notched logs.
~~ ‘These were from twenty to thirty
feet long, extending from level to
level. The logs or ladders were
climbed by the sure-footed miners,
the Aztecs, and more recently by
the Indians, who were engaged in
the dislodgment of the precious
mineral. The ore was placed in
raw-hide bags contaiving about a
half bushel, thissame being rested
upon the back whilst it was held in
position by straps extending across
“the shoulders, united in front and
fastened through its own weight
upon the forehead. If amine were
overflowing with water, the troub!eeome fluid was removed ia these bags
in the same manner as. the ore, by
“the miners tediously climbed the
-notched poles, and. whose notches
answered the place of wider steps.
The ore was removed in s manner
almost as tedious. Fires were built
against the walls of the mine, and
as their surface became calcined — the .
incinerated portions were dislodged
by stone hammers. The smeltiog
was equally as cumbersome, being
effected with charcoal and bellows.
Yet mining was profitable under
these crude methods,

How It Would Work.
The ditch hnes of the mountains
are owned by various hydraulie ming .
ing companies who in some instances
tind a market for the surplus water
they do not need for their own use.
Quartz and drift mines and ranchers,
buy of them, and the receipts from
this source Pay 4 portion of the cost.
of keeping up, the property. We
have in mind one company that thus
disposes of a larger per centage of its
.. Water than anyother, reserxing-only
about half for its own use. It pays
out an average of $40,000 a year for?
Jabor and material in maigtaining
its canals, flames and dams and other
appurtenances. It realizes only half
that amount from sales, but by using the ba'ance of the water in vite
own mines is able to make a fair
profit. If to-morrow the company
should be compelled to suspend hydraulicing it could no longer afford
‘to keep the water rupning; as the
receipts from sales would be but
half the cost of operation, This
‘would shut off the water supply of
all its patrons,.qompelling them to
suspend work, This is another il-.
lustration of the exteut!to which the
hydraulic mines are the mainstay of
this part of the State,
The Lord's Eggs.
One Sunday morning an old Mor* muu whose wife was sick, attempted
to cook a breakfast upon his own

pantry, which he proceeded to fry.

“Did you get them in that earthen

Emma Abbott, the prima donna,
is going to bring a libel suit against
the Grand Jury which recently met
in Denver, Colorado, and among
the edi.ors of the Tribune for libel‘mutit thes quotes the libel:“Deacon John Evans (meaning
thereby the said John Evans) will be

lass. He (meaning thereby the re
Sebo Evans) wouldn't miss the
ehamber scene in ‘Fra Diavolo’ for

Emma Abbott's libel case lies -in
the manner whi¢h the Grand Jury
in the indictment refers to the ‘*bedchamber scene.” : Thus: =

Mike Owens, a miner, shot and
killed P. I. Traver, a merchant, in
Gandelaria, He was tried in. Aurora
anil acquitted. After being released
Owens went to Tombstone. A few
days ago he was in a saloon in Tombstone taking adrinkof liquor, when a
stranger, well mdunted, and carrying a carbine and the latest-improved six-shvoter, rode up to the
front of the saloon, dismounted and
entered. As soon as he saw the
Candelaria murderer. he remarked:
“Ia that you, Owens?’ At the
same time he drew hia revolver, took
deliberate aim, and sent a ball crashing through Owen's head. The
stranger quietly walked out of the
bar-room, mounted his horse and
rode away. Nothing has been seen

Howto Secure a Fortune with OZONE.
A test package of Ozone,containing a sufficient quantity to preserve one thousand dozen
eggs or other articles in ton, will be sent to any applicant on receipt of $2. This
package will enable the applicant to pursue any line of tests and experiments he desires,
and thus satisfy himself as to the extraor linary merits of Ozone asa Preyervative. After
having satisfied himse!f, and had time to look the field over to determine what he wishes
to do in the future—whether to sell the article to others, or to confine it to his own use,
ar any other line of poliey which is best suited to him and to his township or county—we
will enter into an ment with him that will make a fortune for him and give,us
food profits. We will ave exclusive township or county privilegés to the: first responsible applicant who orders a test package and desires to control the business in his locality.
The man who secures control ef OZONE for any special territory, will
enjoya monopoly which will surely cnrich him.
Don't let a day pass ur-til you have ordered a Test Package, and if you desire to secure *
an exclusive privil we assure you that delay may deprive you ef it, for the applicatons come int» us by scores every mail—many by telegraph. -“‘First come first served
