_ 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 hvok, He found some in the pantry, which he proceeded to fry. it was pretty hard to fry, them, but a good deal more of a job to . eat them. One mouthful was enough, and the old fellow rushed up stairs with; : “Betsy, what in thunder’s the. matter with them eggs ?” “Did you get them in that earthen crock on the top shelf just alongside the sassengers ?” ‘*That’s the place.” ; _ “Oh, John, those egg? haye been ‘under the fed hen two weeks. Theyain’t for table use, Théw's tithin’ egys, John. When I caa‘t hatch esgs out I turn ‘em over to uke Lord.” Tickerosts, _ “Your hnsband requires rest,” gaid the doctor, ag he came from the sick chamber, ‘*He will soon be well; he has a Why, that’s bad atta:k of tickerosis, * **Ticavrosia, doctor ! anew disease, isn't it?” ._ “Yes, quite new.

He (meaning thereby the re Sebo Evans) wouldn't miss the ehamber scene in ‘Fra Diavolo’ for the profit of a dozen libel suits, the sly old rooster.” Emma Abbott's libel case lies -in the manner whi¢h the Grand Jury in the indictment refers to the ‘*bedchamber scene.” : Thus: = ‘Meaning and intending thereby that the said John Evans would at-. that ‘aforesaid of the said opera im which the said female singer disrobes and enacts the part of a young woman retiring to bed .as aforesaid, meaning and intending thereby thatthe ssidJohn Evans was a person of base morais and low and libidinous propensities; they, the said Otto H,.

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.
