| THE DARDASELLE COMPANY have COM
menced work again upon their claim. When
the work was stopped, some two weeks since,
it was thought that the water would rise so
high in the shaft that it would be impossible
10 do any more work until machinery could
he erected; but as the water did hot fill the
shaft within one hundred and forty feet Of
| the ton. work was resumed by drawing the
water out to the depth of $50 feet from the
ton. and thern planking the shaft, making it
almost, il not quite, wat.r-tight. The main
norton of the water coming from the drift at
the bottom of the shaft, is (by this plan) eff
fectually stopped; so that now they can run
a drift at the depth Of l75 feet, with but lit
lie water to trouble them. They have now
cut through the side of the shaft, and have
started the drift. We yesterday, in compa-
nv with the President, slowed ourselves into
the bucket and were lowered down, dO,cn,
into the cavernous depths, reminding us Of
that other trip, which is to be the final fate
be host Of able representatives from
Washoe thronging that do,oaioaa course
We were well paid for our trouble BY wit
Messing the perfect work which has been
done upon the shaft. We do not hesitate TO
say that there is not better built shalt IN
the Territory. We only wish there were
more such shafts, and not so many prospect
ing holes, hcreabouts. ..-..
BAcuus AND Mars There must be a
close alliance between these two Gods A
"sorer" that can't take a "nip" is rarity,
and he who takes many nips and long, Is apt
to be one day nipped by the recruiting officers.
Every day one or more blue. clad fellows from
Fort Churchill are arraigned for intoxication.
Two of them were so served this morning,
and Judge Leconey ordered them back in
custody Of their officers. Nobody Is hit for
the army but soger."

ment to the view"
Z SrrrID.-A man went to bed, in Virginia,
tcther night with lighted cigar in his mouth,
and soon afterwards his wife woke up to find

with smoke. She put the flames out. The
husband ought also to have been put out-in
the gutter.
