SLAUGHTER OF IL ISSocESrs.-Some

one destitute of consideration for loving
dog owners, or fearless Of canine ghosts,
must have distributed s%trychuine about
Virginia and Gold Hill last night, to
Judge by the dead dogs we Jaw IN pass
ing between the two towns this morn
ing. We counted some seven or eight
stretched out, with toes and ears stiff
fenced. ewes set and frothed mouths.
There were two iue looking dogs among
tbem-respectable, well-fed dogs, who
had evidently moved in the canine upper
circles. The others were all "curs OF
low degree" and ought to have died
long 0 A man can gaze recklessly
upon the canine victims as he passes
along, plying them but little, yet should
he happen to spy the worthless little
no-account "fyste" that has been fol-
lowing at his heels for the last year or
two-his ~favorite "Spot, "Jaek, y
"Bose" or "Kyser"-how indignant he
would be and how profane he would
wax in his Wholesale denuneiations OF
h e'mean, cowardly hound who dealt
out the fatal s%trychninc. Kill anybody's
dog but ours. Now, it really is a mean,
cowardly trick to thus clandestinely and
unfortunately slaughter the dogs.
There is no sort Of justice or fairness IN
il. There are city and town ordinance
and special enactmeuts for the aoate-
mont of canine ~nuisanccs, which should
protect all really valuable dogs; yet IL
seems that there are always, also, per-
sons existing mean.soulcd enough to
throw s~trychnincd meat about loose
for the wholesale destruction OF every
body's dog.
GETTING DowS.-For some weeks past
the Yellow Jacket and Crown Point
mines have been sinking their shaft to
n greater depth. Tho Grown Point
company at the present time are driit-
inri in the ledge at the depth OF 200 feet
from the surface, where they finds large
body of quartz, the most OF which IS
barren, although they have cut one
small strata of very rich ore, showing
tina, metal exists at that depth. Some
of the specimens we saw were almost
pure black sulphurets Of silver, and in
dictate that there is q good body OF ore
near At hand. Within = few days the
Yellow JACKIE, company will start a new
level in the south shaft at 200 feet great
or depth than any heretofore run. We
understand that the design Of the COM
pauy il TO sink 200 feet more before they
stop. which will make the Yellow jack
G, the deepest shaft in the State, by so
feet. The work Of sinking is being
prosecuted with great vigor, and before
Spr;nc opens a new level will be run at
n depth of $50 feet. The energy dis
PLAYED BY the Yellow Jacket reflects
much credit on the officers Of the COM
pany, u, they are making every effort to
show the people Of Nevada the TACT
whether the Comstock is i~nexhaustible
or not.
