THE FUNERAL YEsTxRDAY.-The flu
neral of Campbell, Griffin and Currau,
the three victims Of the terrible accident
of Monday morning in the Yellow jack
ct shaft, took place yesterday afternoon
between 3 and 4 o'clock, under the aus
pices of the Gold Hill Miners Union, in
conjunction with the relatives and
friends Of deceased. The three collins
were borne on separate hearses from
Theater Hall, and escorted down Main
street by the Gold Hill Miners Union,
who turned out to the number of over
three hundred. The body of Mr.. Camp
bell was conveyed to the NJ. E. church,
and the other two to the Catholic
church. After the appropriate services
the collins were again placed in the
hearses, and the mournful procession,
composed of the Miners Union on foot,
and the relatives and friends of the de-
ceased in carriages and on horseback,
moved out to the cemetery south Of
town, where the three deceased miners
were laid each in his last resting place.
To see three hearses together in one
funeral Of such an extent was indeed II
solemn sight which we hope never to
witness again in Gold Hill.
CHANGES AT WELLS, FARGO & Co.'s
Billy Crandall the ever active, trusty,
energetic and good looking, is this day
placed in full and complete charge Of
the Stage Department at Wells, Fargo
&,,Co.'s office, Virginia, while Bill yHale,
who has occupied that responsible pc.
si,ion heretofore is placed in command
Of tho Express Department. Both are
gentlemen of known ability, experience
and integrity, and the public will agree
with US when we say that the appoint.
ments are as judicious as could well
have been made. Notwithstanding
their elevated positions, each will still
respond to the name of "Billy," when
pronounced by particular friends, and
both will continue to drink with the
reporters just the same and rs often rs
heretofore.
OvERHAuLryG.-The old Chollar works
are,being overloaded and put in working
Once the engine and machinery
are in proper condition, ore will be
again hoisted through the old shaft
from sections Of the mine on levels be-
low that contain a large amount Of low
grade ore. The company hoisted much
ore of this kind through the old Milton
shaft-one thousand tons Of which Is
now lying at the Sapphire mill, Gold
Hill, ready for crushing; but where
they now intend working is moro con-
v~enient to the old Chollar hosting
works.
A LITTLE CAprAIS.-We happened to
be riding with our friend Kelly Of the
liquor store uext to the Virginia Post
Office, the other day, and be had stopped
his wagon on G street for q few minutes,
when the driver Of q passing quartz
team sung out to him "drive up a little,
Captain I" Now Kelly isn't exactly a
Colossus, but it was amusing to see him
straighten up to his full hight as he
drove off. "Dam the f%eller," said he,
"what does he mean by { little Cap.
,ain?' cuss him, I'm rs big as he is.
He called me Captain, though, and
that's not so bad ; l like that"
NEVADA FouSDRy.-Mill or mining
proprietors have no moral or substan-
tial RICH. to send to California or any
where else for mill or mining castings,
when they can;get just what they want,
done 10 order, and on the most reasona-
BILE terms, at the we'll known Nevad"
Foundry, just below Silver City. 1t IS
one of our most important home insti-
t~utions and should be well ~patronized.
Still DEcoaArED.-The loyal Gates
DIR. Virgil Gates-has the front Of his
we'll known drug store, on South Z

evergreens he placed there on the
Fourth of July. The motto he mounted
Mt that time also still remains: lnvin-
chile America welcomes the oppressed
Of oil Nations I"
WASTE OF WooD.-The Democracy
