The Highland mill is paying well, as

there is more and better quartz in sight than
ever before. Last week Mr.. Clay Brown, of
the Baker ledge. East Fork, took out 2!
pounds of rock estimated to contain 500 in
gold. A friend, who is a stockholder in o, e
of our quartz companies here, is not in favor
of taking the gold (which he knows is there)
out of their mine at present, for the reason
that the Government tax is so high on the
precious metal. Perhaps he thinks green

The Government should look into this. If the
tax is so high as to close up our rich mines.

that the rich quartz mines of Nevada county
and Washoe still continue to send down a

Doubt, bringing in from one to three per cent

keep his gold in now a-days.

Brown SToUr.-The following thrilling
narrative will be immensely interesting to
drinkers of.. English beer: "a celebrated brew
er in London had in his employ fat porter
by the name of Stout. One day Stout was
missing, and they knew nothing of him for
several weeks. In the meantime his London
customers piled him with orders for more
beer like the last supplied. The brewer
was at a loss to know, in what consisted the
superiority of that particular brewing until
the beer was all drawn from the vat, when to
their horror, and no little astonishment.
they found the remains of poor Stout. He
had fallen into the vat of hot beer, and been
scalded to death. The citizens of London had
drunk him up. with the exception of the
parts not soluble in water, nothing was left
of him but his hair, toe and finger nails, and
the bones. This circumstance gave the name
to that particular kind of liquor known as
Brown Stout, which has established.for itself
a world wide celebrity, and is sold in all
parts of the civilised world at fabulous
prices.

thank them heartily. Willie u" desire, Of

al The expense Of thelocal press. The daily

receive tho. first and most cordial support
Of the people In the localities where
they are published. Each person Is most IN
tcrested in what transpires at 9als. own, doors,
and this information can be Obtained only In
The local papers. Each. person is interested
In making the journals Of his own neishbor-

done, ne shall hope to furnish to the people
Of tho Northwest newspaper giving larger

the country press can find room to print.
Thus the TRIBUNE will not, wc trust, be
