RlchneßA of the Australian Gohl Fields- Men Who Made Great Furtunefl by In vestments There—First Discovered by Two Colored Men. J. F. Markos, managing editor of the Australian Mining Standard, contributes to the Engineering Mag azine an interesting article on “The Gold Fields of Bendigo.” The dis covery of golden stone on Bendigo, he strj’s, is placed to the credit of, two colored men, who found an out-I crop on Victoria bill at the end of ( 1853. They soon sold out to Mr. Theodore Ballerstedt, who in six years cleared £243,000 from their claims, while various small holders on the same hill are said to have realized £600,000 concurrently. : These fabulous figures might have been even larger if the miners had not been handicapped by the great cost of labor (£1 per day), crushing j (£6 10s per ton), and inefficient gold savers. The Ballerstedt estate on Victoria hill was bought subsequently by George Lansell, the quartz king of Bendigo, and his mines there are knovj-n as being on the New Chum line, the farthest west of the famous trio of reefs which have made Bendi-1 go (under the name of Sandhurst) famous. These three main lines of reef are the New Chum, the Garden Gully and the Hustlers. These three reefs run about twenty de grees west of north, and, roughly speaking, have been or are worked for a length of five or six miles each. Their great peculiarity is their “sad dle” formation. They exist in this form at the southern end of the lines, and occur in regular series, one below another, to all depths yet reached. The apex of the saddle is generally poor, while the legs are richer, but apparently no precise rule can be laid down as to the depo sition of gold. It runs in shoots, and a barren stretch may at any time give place to a gold-bearing patch. The quartz throughout the district is, generally speaking, of a clear white character, mottled with slate near the walls, and commonly thickly impregnated with pyrites, galena and blende, which usually occur in veins or laminations, in or near which most of the gold is found, though it can always be discovered also in the body of the stone. Many very beautiful specimens showing the rich metal protruding from the quartz are met with. Bendigo had a “boom" in 1871 to 1874, and, in consequence of the over-speculation of that feverish period, a decade of depression fell upon the district. Large numbers of mushroom companies had to sus pend wortt or were swallowed up by more powerful concerns. The year 1884 saw another revival, and now, after a further interval, the result of the splendid developmental work which has been undertaken is evi dent to a gratifying extent in the in creased yields derived mainly from new strikes of reef at great depths. There are now on Bendigo twenty four shafts 2,000 feet deep or more, the deepest of them being that of the “180” mine owned by Mr. Lan sell, a Bendigo millionaire. It is now down 2,850 feet, and cross-cuts are being driven at 2,800 feet. Should they strike a paying reef, very great excitement will be mani fested. Ten of these deep mines are now yielding golden stone. Bendigo has long since created its millionaires. The late J. B. Wat son is supposed to have taken twen ty tons of gold from the Kentish mine in fifteen years, representing a money value of £2,5004)00. One “Christinas cake” from this mine weighed 6.500 ounces. Mr. Wat son’s memory is not very highly honored in Bendigo, for all that, as he spent or invested all his wealth in and about Melbourne. George Lansell, on the contrary, is a thor ough Bendigonian, living amid the roar ot his beloved stampers, and overshadowed by the huge poppet heads of his pet mines. Mr. Lan sell was originally a soap-boiler, and if tradition is to be trusted, earnest ly eschewed mining until some scrip which had come into his possession for a bad debt suddenly brought him in rich returns. A New Telephone Appliance- A special mouthpiece for public telephones has been introduced in Germany with the object of avoiding the spread of diseases carried by the condensed moisture of the breath. A pad or a large number of disks of paper, with a hole in the middle, is inserted in the mouthpiece, and the upper disk of paper is torn off after every conversation.—Electricity. ’Twould Seem So. The English language is now spoken by one hundred and fifteen million people. And there are times, when one has something particularly important to say, in which it does as if the whole one hundred and fif teen million were speaking at once. —Boston Transcript. THE TELEPHONE NUISANCE. How a .’’an Got Rid of Neighbors Who Wanted to Vue His 'Phone. / “A business friend of mine has finally succeeded in ridding himself of a great nuisance," said Earnest F. Ed wards, of Boston, who was at the Southern, to the St. Louis Globe-Demo crat. “His office, happens to be on a floor in a building where there are a large number of tenants, but no other telephones besides his own. The re sult is ho has been for months bored to death by telephone deadbeats, many of whom have used his telephone a great deal more than he has. The nuisance got so bad at last that it was quite usual to have two visitors wait ing for each other at the ’phone. He tried various devices for a long time, but finally took the company into' his confidence and got them to give him a new number, but not to change the plate on the 'phone. He specially noti fied central on no account to connect anyone who called up the old number. The scheme worked like a charm. For a day or two the nuisance was in creased by the importunities of pa trons of his telephone and their indig nant protests when they fai’ed to se cure connection. It did not take long, however, for them to realize that the telephone was of no further use to them, and the way my friend echoed their protestations and lamentations was most interesting. He has the tele phone all to himself now, and Is not troubled inanj’ way." ANCIENT AZTEC Flttle Known Remains In the Mountain Region# of Arizona. An old-time prospector lately arrived in Prescott, A. T., for a three months' sojourn In one of the most interesting and least-known portions of the terri tory, says the St. Louis Globe-Demo crat. The wonderland from which he has returned is the country lying be tween the Mazatlan and Verde ranges of mountains. Mr. Court thinks that section contains more Aztee ruins than any other portion of America, evi dences of human habitation being found from the highest peak to the lowest valleys. In one place he found a road or street of three miles in length, -perfectly smooth and straight and sixty feet in width. On either side of the street, the entire distance, are ruins. The road was evidently built prior to some mighty earthquake, as it ends abruptly at the brink of a yawn ing chasm. He dug up and found ly ing about a great number of skeletons, which were in a fair state of preserva tion. the heads of all being alike, very large over the eyes and receding and almost flat toward the back of the head, jaws well developed, but front upper and lower teeth short and sharp. The ruins show the people to have been workers in stone, some fragments of work in turquoise being found. Every available foot of land had once been cultivated. The region, although little heretofore has been known about it, is very accessible, and will no doubt become an interesting resort for trav elers. ONE OF OMtNA‘B CITIES. Caston, Where the Plarue Cornea Fra—, •nd 1* ler*t ■tarprteinc. A line ar two from Mrs. Archibald Dunn's new book gives a striking pic ture of the horrors of life m Canton. “The circumference of the city walls measures from six to seven miles, and within their inclosure there exist one million Chinese people. I had been In many oriental cities and had smelt many oriental smells, but those of Can ton," says Mrs. Dunn, “were giants to them all. The passage-like streets are open sewers, every description of refuse being cast into them and forming con tinuous heaps on either side of the way. The water supply is raised from wells in the streets, the mouths of which are on a level with the ground, and a shower of rain, or drippings from the buckets in which they lift it must carry back the surrounding filth in away horrible to think of. Through miles and miles of these high, narrow alleys did we travel, through the most fetid, airless atmosphere that human lungs could cope with, through the most evil and noisome odors that could assail hu man nostrils, past the most loathsome sights in the shape of abnormal butcher meat —sueh as dogs and cats, skinned and dressed ready for cooking; rats, both dried and hanging alive by the tails; frogs and unnatural-looking fish in tubs of water, alive, and awaiting death and consumption.” • Uncomfortable Corean Houses* The “kang." the Corean house fur nace, renders the atmosphere of the inns where travelers take their rest, almost insufferable. It is pictured as a primitive, though effective, means of heating the houses throughout the kingdom. A small fire of brushwood is lighted in the small furnace at one side of the house, thence numerous flues under the mud floor conduct the smoke and hot air to an upright chimney or hole in the wall at the op posite end or side, and a little fire suffices to thoroughly heat a large house. Capt. Cavendish says he is not surprised to find coughs and colds common, for an indoor temperature of seventy or eighty degrees and an outdoor one of zero form trying ex tremes. Moreover, the constant warmth seems to keep alive the numer ous flies, fleas, bugs and cockroaches with which most of the houses swarm. Origin of the Chinese Cue. It seems that it was not the custom of the ancient Chinese to shave the head and wear a cue. That was a cus tom brought in by the Tartar invaders, nearly three hundred years ago, and they forced it upon the conquered provinces. The result was that many Chinese were driven into Corea, and the inhabitants of that province when they yielded to the suzerainty of the Tartars stipulated that they should be permitted to preserve their ancient dress. So the Coyeans do not shave the head, but wear their hair as their an cestors wore it four thousand years ago, a manner which is seen in China j only on the stage. PROFESSIONAL COL'D DENTISTS J A.
