The Latest From the Centennial Blue Gravel Mine. — Virginia City Chronicle : Secretary James of the Centennial, on Monday reveived a letter from,Superintendent Richardsf stating that he has started another side drift, 1800 feet in from the mouth of the’ main tunnel, At this point the gravel.is much less cemented than in the first side drift, and shows coarser gold, This drift is in about twenty feet and making good progress, the ground working very favorably. The San Jose mine, adjoining on the South, has a fine deposit of the same gravel, which is paying well. The Centennial tunnel is 2600 feet long.

Science recalls them, As we preceive life from the material plane, it is an emerging from sonfé unknown source of consciousness enseuled within matter; of the response, from a definite cycle ef time, of the organism resulting from the combination to certain fdrees, some known and unknown; and the fiscal withdrawal of con sciousness to its impenetrable haunts, followed by a dispersion and recombination of the material elements with which it, had been associated. This is a generalization which will apply equally to the life of man, er of a single all; to the life of a molecule, or that of a planet or sun. What this unknown source may be, investigation will determine, : ‘In the thoroughly scientific spirit I say before I accept the hypothesis of evolution, I must have satisfactory proof,” Rev. Mr, Hobart writes, What does he mean by “preot”?, I was told, and not many years ago either, that the ‘‘moon was made of green cheese,” I believed it then. I don’t What proof have I that it is net? T also believed that a whale swallowed a man to prevent hii from drowning. I den’t believe it now. What proof ? The Rev; Mr. Hobart ridicules Prof. Le Conte by writing: ‘It seems to some of us like a feat of intellectual legerdemain to propose to bridge that yawning chasm by the statement that evolution isa universal law and afiomatic.” And right here is where he exposes his total depravity of acquired knowledge, commonly called ignorance, of this universal law which is axiomatic to the unbiased and reasoning mind that will in. vestigate, The students of evolution do not claim that their theory is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, notwitbstanding Mr. Hobart’s statement to the contrary. But what these men are doing is arriving at the truth.
