AN ALASKAN MONTF CIIRISTO.

log with him $30.000 In Alaslcn gold , pounded
out of decomposed quartz In a hand mortar ,
says the Portland , Telernm. lghteen
months ago , he , his brother , Peter , formerly an
underground man In the Richmond mine , at
Eureka , Nev. , and Henry Morehouse of
'lumnK county , California , went to Juneau ,
engaging In prospecting throughout the ! old-
bearing country In that inhospitable regIon ,
with anything but success.
Juno started out what

they resolved to he their last prospecting
tour In the cold north , unless they "struck"
somethIng. On this trip , however , great luck
accompanied them. In the mOlntalns , some I

stumbled over a quantity of decompoHed
quartz , heavily carrying gold TheIr expe-

either a "pocllet" or a ledge. Setting to

1INIATUm lA1tTllQUAICE.
Over 1,000 vIsitors from this city wit-
flossed the miniature earthquake at the Oay
dam the other afternoon , when 30,000 pounds
of giant powder were exploded Ln the bowels
of .he . great bill just below the dam , says
the San Francisco xamlner.
Preparations for the blast have been car-
ned on for some w eks. A shaft 15 feet .
deep was stink In the hut eighty feet back I
. ( from the b1ln and charges of 21,000 pounds .
were placed In drifts at the fifty-foot Ilvel :
and the remaInder In the bet m of the shaft
In the ends of the two drifts. All were united
by electric wries connectng with a battery.
A previous oxploslQn ! of six tons of powder
had torn a great hole In the hi and It wr..z
calculated that this explosion would fnrulsh
enough rock to fill the hole and make II
accessible for the dam. Two hundred thou-
Band tons of rock were to bo dlslllaced , according -
cording to the estimate of Walter Uussel ,
.
' - the eiiiinecr In chare of the worll.
At 3 1 o'clock E. S. Babcock , presIdent of
the company building the dam , fired a pistol
ns the signal to the man at the battery. The
latter stooped and the watchers on the opi i
Iloslo lull felt the grolli rico under them I
. untl tall back . TheIr eyes were glued to
the taco of the hill opposIte , which suddenly
began to squirm and emit little spirals of
dnst. 10wllers , , dylles and earth alike
1ove,1 , nlllard antI wavered , seeming to
crumble to dust , and to the vlsltcrs It seemed
us I an crt'lquako of tearful : ProPortions
was going on beroro theIr gaze
Almost instantly after the lull reared it-
eeH there came a heavy groan from the middle -
dlo of the lull apparently , not loud , but
whIch was heard miles away The mon-
ttrous mals quivered on n delicate balance
for the traction of a second , and wIth an
echo deeper nlan the below of the ocean ,
crashed Into the canyon. Instanty I sharp
cater of rocks foowed and continued for
f ten or fifteen mInutes , while a heavy yellow
cloud gathered 0"01 the canyon and hung
thero. I floated away slowlY , revealing an
; t Immense plo of earth and ! mal rock filling
' the space below the dam No large bowhll'r
were seen , all that remained of the great
maSSl3 of granite beIng small jagged rock ,
showing the tremendous shattering power of
the blast.
The ' 11 behind stood stark , and little
cracks here awl there revealed that the ox-
Illoslon had parted the bonds of d'ke antI
veins , making materIal tr a hundred feet
further Into the lull. Engineer Russell
says more than 10,000 yards , or 20,00 tons ,
hail bon displaced , and that plenty of rock
hall been provided to complete the dam ,
whlc'l will take another year's work The
dam Is now forty-five feet high and will bo

BUTT 'S PROPOSED nAILHOAD.
Very little local Interest Is manIfested In
the proposell ( railroad from Butte to San
Francisco , of which sonic Boise , Idaho men
are the promoters , and nothing I known of
It except from information sent out from
this city , says I Uolso special to the Sun
The project was Irt agitated about live ) 'earl
ago by W H Miler , al engineer , antt a lan
named nabblt. The line at that time was
surveyed from noise to lutl' , but the people
of this cIty took no interest In the scheme.
Alt effort to interest eastern capItal at that
time also lt with poor succcss , hut the Ilro-
meters kept up their efforts and claim to have
ben fairly successful
The Inrormaton from lIaise Is that E , T.
Woodworth of Denver , one of the alleged
promoters , has been In laise for a week ,
working up a bonus and a rlght-or-way , no
money to be paId until the road I completed.
Wootlwoth Bays the building of the road Is
assured , and I Is alleged that among those
interested Is 'heolore Voorhies , first vice
president of the neadlng 8Y8tel. and several
other Phiadelphia mcii , Moritz Ltpp-
man , the New York hanker : Erest I.
Iekoy , president of the Little heck road ,
and others.
The IJrOposed line Is from Butte via Silver
how to thin Idaho line near Obsonvllo ( ,
through Salmon City , and thence to the
prIncipal towns of Custer county to Atlanta '
and Rocky Bar via Hednsh lakes , down :
Boise river to that city , to Nampa or Cald- ! :
well , thence to old Camp Lyon , near Silver '
City and Delamar to Nevada , vIa Decllwlth
pass , alli on to California. : l. Woodworth
says $10.000,000 Is ready to be spent In construction -
structon work and that the only railroad (
company that Is opposing the scheme Is the
Southern Pacifc _
Ho also claims that San Francisco will
glvo a bonus of $2,500,000 , Some people have
been Itichimied to the belief that Butte
Inclned IIlef Bute , Ana- ,
cnt1 & Pacific and ! Marcus Daly are behind
the scheme , but It Is authoritatively stated
from Mr. Daly that ho known nothIng about
II. The westward route of the Butte , Ana-
conda & Pacific has not yet been planned ,
though If I Is ever extended beyond Ana-
cOlla It wm be through Idaho , but not over

proposed road Is a Burlngton scheme , but
whatever It Is , I Is news to Bulo antI to 1

C. E. Tebbs and lo'don Jones , the artists ,
came Into town from southwester Oregon ,
loaded with a sack containing the skin of a
black bear , an animal which In life welghNI
720 pounds and measured seven and a half
feet In length , says. the San } 'rancro Chron-
Ic iiThe
The animal was run across just as the
party were leaving theIr camp . about forty
miles front Kerby. They had gone four or
live inhlo , when a shepherd dog whIch accompanied -
companied them started tb" big fellow out
of the brush The bear's dimensions were
so enormous that ho made an easy tarKet.
Jones fired first and lodged a bal In hIs
hoad. ThIs , however , hall 10 effect , and
the great bear ran down the gulch , fol-
lowed by the uteri and the dog. The latter
was so hot In pursuit that the boar turned
on him and attempted , tD deal him a blow ,
but missed , and fell thirty feet down the ravine -
vine to the bushes , where ho regaIned hl9
feet. Tebbs and Jones followed at' rapidly
ns the nature of the ground wOlld permit.
The bear turned UII the oppolo side of
the mountain , the dog after him , when
Jones fred again , hitting the animaL
near the eye , and then Tebbs hedged a
hail In the black and fleeing mass near
the head lie dropped , but arose Igaln.
Deforo he could get away , however , the
hUlter sent five more shots Into the boy
and bruin gave UI the ghost. They then returned -
turned to camp . and , getting a horse , and
placing the carcass In the fork of a felled
tree. dragged It wIth mich difficulty live
miles distant. There the bear was weighed ,
measured and skinned. The meat was gIven
to the miners , anrl ! the hunters again started
for home They say they saw no deer , but
that bear are numerous. One tiny they

Tlbbs returned to camp In search of one
while Jonc stood on guard. Son the mother
tired of the situation anti ! descended , pushing
her youngster before her. Once on the
ground she had much trouble to overcome
the curiosity of the cub , and Mr. Jones says
It was laughable to see her cuff and spank
her offspring every time I would turn to
sel what sort of creature the biped was.
The ehatEement had its effect , and mother

To belittle and sneer down puns , wit and
humor has bcen the constant effort of the
lending moralists of all ages , says the Waslm-
Ington Post , but the punsters and jovial
Jokers still survive nil thin malcious and
senseless opposition , Jonathan Swift was n
clever joker , anti said that "only they deride
puns who are unable to make them , " The
.
moral Dr. Johnson the
placed punster and tIme
pIckpocket on the same level Even ( lcton-
makers In echo of the
ary , overrlhteons
cas at society , defn a pun as a "play upon
words , " a "low all vulgar species of wit , "
etc. Atithison abuses ' liacliti

damnelt them with faint praise , Campbell
asked pardon for descending so low as to
menton tllem , and S'dney Sllh , In hIs
youthful lectures , must needs have his fling
at what ho was all hIs life minaking Sydney
was one or the best of punsters
Now , what arc the main charges aglntl
punl ? Under what pretext do self-appointeil
jndgos condemn them with so much rancor ?
"Punning Is the wIt of words , " says Sydney
Snilthm. What Is meant by the "wIt of
words ? " In one sense all wit , spoken or
written . Is such , for without words wit couh
not exIst. Amusing Ideas have minors or Iw !
merit , crolte more or less pleasure , accord-
lug ns they are expressed In good or had
words and Ilhrases. A story told by one per'
son wi be as melancholy as a price current ;
by another It will bo provocative of Infnie
mirth. Wha Is meant by murdering a good
joke , fussing the point and kindred expre-
Ions ? Clearly for the want of the best antI
proper words In tine best placos. Give an
ordinary man time facts and Ideas of n scene
of Dickens , or' n hit of Sheridan , 0' a pun of
Premitice : let him perceive , as for as possible -

force and see what ho will mallo of It.'ho -
over trIes the experiment will admit that
words have something to do wih al pleas-
antry. "On a word , " says Lllor , "turnl'

MUCH IUlOI IN PUNS.
I grIeves me much to see puns meet with
such shabby treatment as they do , when I
think of what rich all delicate humor , what
sharp or gushing wIt , nar , what true pathos
has spoken throuKh them Take , for instance -
stance , one of Lamb's punK. Ho Is chatlng
wih a party of friends over his glass of

James Buchanan , up to the time of Jackson's

became' an active democrt and ardent supporter -

In tile course of 1 year or two the president

IllS SCRIPTURAL SANCTION.
Even In tine wrltnY of St. Paul can be
found sentences of sarcastIc punning anti , of
a character decidedly amusing Take the
following quotaton for an example : "If a
man thInks ho Is omething when ho Is nolh-
lug ho deceIves hh 1self. Solomon would
have said that such a man was a fool , Paul
wat' too much of a gentleman to use that
harsh expression , but tire In\1Y of his words
carry the same "Solomon" Import
And , furthermore , thin confirmed toper
must have a share In atdln ! his quota to the
list of quips and puns. "You ought to follow
tine exumple and teachings of St. Paul , the
apostle of temperunco and godliness , " said a
preacher to his Inebriate neighbor "That Is
just what 1 do every day of my life-follow
his example , for we read In the bool of Acts
that he stopped at three taverns ! "
Now let us select a few puns and witt-

nai . Scarcely a number of that highly esteemed -
teemed daily failed to contain one or mora
of his side-epiitting puns , lashes of wit or a
Severe piece of sarcasm. Here are a few
