Dtirivian inforninl Interview yesterday SeiWary Itoggeii Htild that tlio New York salt makers assured the committee that with surface brliru of 510" gravity the stilino Holds of Nebraska should prove a bonatua. At Syracuse the brine aver ages 7 < j ° , but the niodo of nuinu- lactttro is very expensive , niul the margin of prollt small. Xone of the companies are making any inonuy ex cept on the higher grades of table Rait , and a patent , article of largo cube pack- Ing. The cheap grades from Michigan monopolize the western market- * , and in the. east tlio product of the immense de posits of rook Kill iii Wyoming county , New York , has seriously affected , the market. " 'I he ehlef trouble at Syracuse is said to be tlio maintcnaueo of "blocks , " as the evaporating shells are called , pipes for thu transportation of the brine , etc. At present only a small number of the "blocks are running , and as : t consequence the revenues of the slt'to have been sprmnsly diminished. AH in Nebraska , Iho wilt basin Is owned by the atato , and the brine is furnished to the various companies til a royalty of ono cent on every bushel of salt made. The income Irom this last year was $70,000 , , and the expense of pumping , supervision , etc. , $ i > 0,0'JO. ' At Warsaw , in Wyoming county , a large deposit of rook salt has been found , anil u strong brine obtained by pouring fresh water into the wells , puddling U vigorously , and then pump ing it outlor evaporation. A large shaft is now being sunk , and when completed the rock salt will bo mined like coal , and then ground. It i.s tlio opinion of Iho Syracuse men that n .similar deposit of reek salt exists near -Lincoln , and the brine in the basin comes trom Irish water Mowing over it and working to tlio sur face. They as.-ert Unit it tins brine is of thirty degrees gravity at the surface it will bo much stronger 100 feet down. They .suggest that wells bo sunk nnd the matter thoroughly tested. One point urged by those who have an itching in terest in tlio "development" of the saline lands hero is that they can be worked without , an expensive plant , us no "blocks" or anytliing of that nature will be re.ipdred. ' 1 he board is now advertis ing tor bids for ninking a test well , and the pi OjR'sals will bo opened on thu ' 'd inst. 71IK LINCOLN STOCK VAltUS. About twenty-live of the principal stockholders and oll'icers of the Lincoln Stock } ards company , visited the plant yesterday and assisted in the formal opening of the new hotel and exchange building , the occasion being celebrated in Mi.o atylu by Landlord Hall , who on- tnrtuineil the visitors at. dinner From Secretary ( iillepMit , who sat at the HIE : niuu'.s right hand , the following informa tion concerning the company was gath ered : The idea of organising thu cor poration lirst took deliuito shape in April , IBS I , when niter assurances ot cooperation tion and good fellowship on the part of the Omaha company , the Lincoln Stock Yards company was born , the parents being John Fit/gurald , presiilent ; John Uiliespio. secretary ; J. I'I I lout/ , treas urer , and J. H. ( JonIling , superintend ent. The capital stook was placed at $1,000,100 , and ono quarter was paid in , the chief inventors being residents of'Lincoln. The company bought 0iO uere.s of land northeast of the city , for a town site , and then took a rc4l until the legislature- , when through the assist ance of Senator McShano and the Dong- las county delegation , a lease of 010 acres of stiite land , adjoining the town site , was voted and other noeo&aiiry legislation ficcurcd. Thu yards wore opened for business September JM , IbtfTi , and during thu lifhtthirty days 1UO cars of stock wuro received nnd Bold. The business has grown until to-day lliu Burlington & Mis souri has abolished all Its ( ceding slit- { lout , and Is turning nil stock shipments into the Lincoln yards. The demand hero at present is exclusively tor feeders , but negotiations are pending with custom men for the operation of beef nnd sheep slaughtering IIOUF > OS , and two pork imekuriort , Contrary to ( ho common idea there is competition , but no oppo sition in this businenH between Omaha and Lincoln. The desire of the managers of both companies is avowedly lo work together BO as lo inako good markets for the shippers , nnd break thu solid stream now Mowing into Chicago. This is thought , can best be accomplished by maintaining jardw at Lincoln and Omaha , both , on the principle that com petition invites trade. uirv aiders. The llrst. mawiuerado party of the sea son will bu given nt lliu city hall this livening. Mrs. Alfred Keen.S and sister have gone on a three months' ' visit to friends atl-'ort Scott , Kansas.

The southwestern portion of the Cen tennial state is just now greatly excited over recent rich silver discoveries , which have been made nt Portland , or rather I'aqttiu camp , four miles from Oitray. To bo sure , "aSormlu is renowned lor its rich mineral deposits , but iil" ! , if re ports am true which rcnch us , and wo have no reason to doubt them , It will , in the near fulure , lead to the establish ment of a larger mining camp than Lcadvillo over was. Tlie ground 1ms not been rnrofully piospccted , examinations thus tar being mainly superficial. Yet some seven or eight locations at the present writing have been developed snlllciently to know that ore , very rich ere , Is there in paying quantities , For instance , the Pony I'vprp s. .1 new mine , already 2,1 feet one wny tind 50 feet the other , exposes solid intmn'.il that length and breadth which yields S.'i to 110 ounces silver lo llio Ion and 40 per cent lead. lead.Another Another by carload lots , 2H ( ounces sil ver per ton ; ami rill atiolhcr , lifot con tract , fromyo toi.UM ) . Advices have just reached us o [ a rich discovery on tlio new Leadvllle lode which assays ! ! l ) ( ) otincc-t silver to thn ton. This new strike is likewise in thol'ort- land district. Now , think for nn infant of a body of mineral 25\i > J feet ; worth even only 8) ounces silver , what mcasnrclm * wealth if hidden there Ono naturally concludes It. i.s not all a myth , but something real , .substantial , lasting. The o who were poor yesterday are thu possessors of mil lions to-ilny. The mines are easy of access , being lo cated below timber line , about 1,1100 feet above sea level. The ore can be mined much easier than In a higher altitude ; inasmuch as there will bo lilllo snow to interfere with the work , nnd freight wagons can bo drawn almost to theoutpiitting .shafts and drifts. The nearest route to the new Kldorado is by way of the Denver and Kin ( Jraudo railway lo Afontrosu , Passengers arriv ing on ( lie night trains can leave the next morning by stage for the minc . reachIng - Ing there shortly after dinner , llio dis tance being only 85 miles , thu road an ctisy one , and the ride exceedingly pleas ant. Portland is building up rapidly. A large hotel is in course of cnnstruojion , saloons are plei.ty and doing a thriving business town lots selling at from $05 to § 100 each. There is little doubt but the San Juan and San Miguel countries aru teeming with the piecions metal.It ! is , however , of little use for persons without means to rush into the country expecting to make a big < take , for they will bo doomed to disappointment. U e. have scores of snuh hero now. In fact thu country is alive with poor prospectors , and a.s living i.s expensive I fear there will be much suf fering before spring. What is most needed is men with capi tal to help develop the mines , build smelters for reducing tin- ore , etc. Mont- ro o , being the nearest railroad point to the silver tields , oilers special advantages for the erection of .sucii works. Conlof an excellent quality is near at hand in the hills and mountains each side of the Valley. Some of the beds are bohi" opened and show a line article for such purposes , it being unnecessary to coke it lor smelting. The outlook for eapilalisls is exceed ingly bright , money commanding an in terest of 1 } to 2 per cent per month short time and 10 to Upor cent by the year. Colorado , aside from her mineral wealth , is rich in her agricultural resources , all kinds ot fruits , vegetables and grain ( ov- pcpt corn ) producing an immense jield. Irrigation , however , is necessary. So the owner of a line ranch has a compe tence , even though ho be not tlio possessor ser of a gold , silver or coal minu. Pitn&TO.v. IJrcvltlcH.

There , it was thought , ho could obtain the bust of med ical attendance , ami-would soon pull through all right. Not so , howeyer. For honui reason , Cuneo refused to take medicine. His doctors did everything m their power to induce him to swallow the physic , but he retused to open his mot.tli and set his teeth ( irmly together. Day after day the struggle was repeated , butte to no avail. Ho would not take a drop of medicine. Finally , after lingering two weeks , he died.

INGERSOLL. How He linn Ucdiiucd His Obesity- Why He Lecture * . Now York letter to Hoston Herald : Col. Hobcrt G. Ingersoll , who is to lee- turu at the academy of music to-morrow night , will surprise nearly all his hearers and watchers by the marked change which has taken place in his personal ap pearance since lie was last seen in the metropolis. I saw him this afternoon , at the llollman house , and was greatly struck by his altered looks. U he last time I met him , seven or eight months ago , hi was very fat. indeed , and seemed to be growing fatter every day. Now , however , pretty lunch all his obesity has disappeared , anil ho is certainly no moro than what you would call a line portly tignro. His face still retains that quality of geniality and imrullled good humor which has always been its distinguishing characteristic , but Ins en tire physique has been lessened to a very marked extent. I learn trom Col. I tiger- soil that ho has wrought this change by an original svitem of dieting , base'd entirely on his own observations. He tells me that he has not followed any of the courses of banting winch have hither to. been regarded as essential to the re duction of llesh. He lias , however , mailu an individual study of suchsiibitnnccs as produce fat , and has by avoiding their usu built himself up or down lo his present proportions. He still re tains on Itis list of foods a great many ol the articles which have hitherto been regarded as certain to add to onu's accumulation of adipose th-ue , and be linds that they do not allcel him at all. When 1 askotl Col. Ingursoll it ho really felt any better than ho did when he wiis fat and round , ho laughed and said he didn't know them was any perceptible change in his sensations , excepting that hu possibly fella liltlu more inclined to be active than ho did beloro lit ! began his dietary proceedings. lie told me that he was getting rafts of letter. ; , from people all over the country questioning him as lo bin method of procedure , and lit ; added that as soon as ho could lind time ho meant to publish in some form or other a list of directions for taking oil'Mipcrtlu - ous corpulency , based on Ids own experi ence. Col. Ingorsoll will lecture a gootl deal during the coming SCIIKOII. Onu of his riend- . was saying to mo the other day hat w icnever I saw Ingersoll announced to I o lire I could bo sure that ho needed re.niv money , "lie hatjs to talk in pub- lie , " said his friend , "and under no con- ditioiiH has it ever been possible to in duce him lo contract for a icasm of pub lic speaking. He bus a private si-ercfary and whei.uv'er be wants a few tlioiisam'l dollars he sends thi.s employe over to New Vork or Hoston to engi'go a hall and put up a low lithographs annoitnco ing a speech. IngerHolI can always bu auru of drawing about if..OW ) a night in any ot tlio largo piths and of course it does not lake him long at this rate ; to pile up sulliciont money to relieve his pressing wants , lut ! as soon as hu is easy ho stops lecture ing , and doesn't taku U up again until bis monetary nll'iiir.require renewal. He could make $ 0,1)011 ) in any three months of thu winter period that ho might choose to devote to this kind of work , and as it costs him about that much to live ho might have an easy career of it if he saw the utiljty of work- ins steadily for nny length of time. Hut hu proters desultory employment , and mixes Ins law practice with bis lecturing thus earning in all a very large , though not steady , income.
