To SETTLE TIrIE.-According to the
Inland Empire of the 18th instant, there
was an interesting cast before the Dis
trict Court Of White Pine County, under
the title Of The Original Hidden Treas.
ure vs. The Rathbun Mining Company.
We understand the suit was brought 10
settle title. The trial will doubtless
prove interesting to the defendants, who
are reported to have paid the nice little
sum of $500, 900 in gold for their Hid
den Treasure mine. It would seem that
that sum ought to have secured a title
without q blemish.-Rtess Rirtr Rereills.

PARTICULARS OF rHE DEA-u OF TREAS

TO Controller Parkinson, we are permit
ted L extract the following You are
aware how i'll he was when you left. He
grew weaker, aud on Wednesday was
scarcely able to walk, even with the use
Of a cane. Thursday he kept bis room,
and in the evening suffered greatly from
pressure in the region of the heart.
The clerk Of the hotel says that the
waiter was summoned at about 9 O'Clock
to get a pillow The was in the habit Of
taking q pillow in his arms and leaning
over on it. il seeming to give relief to
his pain by it, pressure), and also to
summon a physician. But q few miu-
utes elapsed before his return with DR..
Letterman, when he vas found on the
floor dead. An autopsy has been held
to-day, and his death attributed to
"pueumonia and enlargement Of the
heart" the heart being double the nat
ural size. His immediate Nevada
friends, n. A. II. Ball, Senator Haines,
Gillig and others are experimenting
the arrangements for his funeral. And
so has passed from among US our geuer-
Gus, noble hearted friend, whose kindly
nature endeared him to US.
BURaLARs.-The most persistent, re-
peated attempts at burglary continue TO
10 made nightly. In one instance no
less than FIVE efforts wore made on as
many nights within ten days to gain ad-
mi.tance TO the residence of n Of the
citizens Of Carson. Not less than half a
dozen other attempts ut house breaking
in different parts of Carson are reported.
And strange indeed it is that no clue
can be obtained to the perpetrators OF
any Of them. Not even q suspicion
seems TO rest upon any individual, that
we are aware OF In several instances
persons engaged in the attempts have
been seen, but they escaped recognition

HEwS TiMBEE.-An immense lot Of
heavy square timber is being brought
into town from the lake. 1t is deposited
near the depot grounds, and is owned
by the Union Mill and Mining Company.
Its transportation to Virginia awaits the
completion of the Virginia and Truekee
Railroad. 0ne lumberman furnishes

large contracts.
ACCIDENTAL man named Lawrence,
was yesterday severely cut by a circular
saw, at Ash's old mill in the canyon
west Of Carson. The wound is just
above and across the elbow. So we are
informed by DR.. Thompson, whose pro-
fessional services were obtained in dress

A WONDER.
Discovery of a subterrnnean Basin

Discovery of a Subterrnnean Basin.
from the st. Paul Pioneer, Aug. ST.
On Saturday afternoon last, while the
workmen were engaged in digging down
tho bluff near the foot of Chestnut
street, for the grade Of the St. Paul and
Sioux City Road, they made a curious
discovery, the full nature of which wo
are, as yet, unable to explain. The
bluff at that point is composed partly
Of s~aud-rock, and the work of leveling
it is expedited BY blasting. On Satur-
day afternoon a heavy blast was cx-
ploded, when, what was the surprise,
not to say CONSERVATION, of the work
men, to see a huge portion Of the bluff,
fully seventy.fve yards Of the saud-rock,
suddenly sink out of sight, instead OF
rolling off below, as formerly.
Hurrying to the spot, they discovered
an aperture or assure about ten feet
wide, which, on c closer EXAMINATION,
proved to be the mouth Of Al immense
cavern, under which was q lake Of pure
crystal water, cold enough to chill n
man to death in n few moments. We
paid a visit to this natural wonder yes.
terday, and arc indebted 10 Mr.. Thomas
Marshall, tho foreman Of Messrs. Lang
don L Carpenter, who have the contract
for grading on the road, for all the in.
formation in regard to it in his posses
sion. He has experimental to find the
depth Of the water, but so far without
success. As far as the eye can roach,
which is only some 20 or 80 feet on each
side, the cavern and water extends, and
its full extent is left entirely to c~opjsct.
ure.
Some 400 feet above the mouth of the
cave there is q small stream or spring,
of the purest and coolest water bubbling
up, which evidently is an outlet Of this
lake, showing that it extends that far up
the bluff, at all events.
Tho prosecution of the work in dig
cling away the bluff for railroad pur-
poses, may develop something further
that will lead to a knowledge OF the di-
mansions Of this apparently limitless
and bottomlcss Lake. 1t 10 located d.
rectly under the dwellings Of a number

Love at Seventy.

The Boston correspondent Of
the Springfield Republican tells
the following
Half century ago two young
people-youtfh and maiden In :
country village-loved each other.
Unkind fate prosecuted them and
denied the legitimate reward of
mutual affection. Both married
and lived in widely separated
towns, children grew up around
each, and the cares of life came ND
on them; but the spark of that
early love still burned in both bo.
SONS. Once in great while they
exchanged letters. At last bis
wife died his children grew up
and left him, and he was LEFT .
lonely old man, poor and comfort
less. This summer her husband
died. As soon as the blessed de.
funct was comfortably put under
the sod, the widow packed up her
goods and started for the home of
her first love. She arrived one
afternoon and was directed to his
house, but Its master was absent
Nothing daunted, she went in
and sat alone till he returned. In.
agine the meeting of tender old
creatures of seventy, who had been
faithful to each other through fifty
years. She remained in his house
a few days then they were mar.
red, and the neighbors say that
never did humanity afford such a
similitude to two very sentimental
turtle doves as In the welded bliss
Of these absurd old people They
are living now stepped in happi-
ness, it would seem, and no doubt
believe in the maxim "Better late
than never"

Laziness in Bible Reading.

The following confession and
prayer by Rev. DR.. Thos. Fnller, it
is to be feared covers the case of
many others beside himself:
lord, | discover an arrant lazi-
ness in my soul. For when l am
to read chapter in the bible, be-
fore l begin it, | look where it end
eth; and if it endeth not on the
same side, | cannot keep my hand
from tnrning over the leaf, to
measure the length thereof On the
other side; if it swell too many
verses, | begin to grudge.
"Surely, my heart is not rightly
affected. Were truly hungry af-
ter heavenly food, l would not
complain of meat. Scourge, Lord,
this laziness of soul. Make the
reading of Thy Word not pen
ance, but a pleasure upon me-
Teach me that as among heaps of
gold, all equally pure, that is best
which is biggest, so may | esteem
that chapter in Thy Word best
which is the longest"

THE WINTER SHOWS.

Over the mountains the -wreaths are
drifting,
Hanging their garlands on laurel and pine,
Robing the fields with an exquisite beauty,
Bending the feathery sprays of the vine,
Falling like down on the breast of the river,
Crowning the maple trees over the way,
Drifting along on the winds to the southward,
Hiding the vessels far out on the bay.
In the red sunset the snow-fakes are shining,
Snow-drift on snOw-drift, and curl upon curl
Flashing back colors of exquisite brightness,
Diamonds and rose-leaves and mother-of-pearl;
Softly, ye snow wreaths, dropover the hillside.
Where in still slumbers the weary ones rest,
Where by pine-tree my mother is sleeping
Tenderly lay your white folds on her breast.
Soen shall the spring time break over the noun
tains,
Over its beauty no cold winds shall blow;
Frost shall not breathe there to wither the
flowers,
Never again shall they hide in the snow;
Eye hath rot looked on that spring in its beauty,
Songs of the serAphs shall welcome its birth;
Come in the beauty and glow of the morning
Spring time eternal dawn over the earth.

Scarcity Of Names.

Mark Twain, writing from
Hartford, complains of the Eastern
custom of tacking on handles to
the names of towns. He illus
trates by saying:
! Right here in one nest we have
Hartford, and Old Hartford, and
New Hartford, and West Hartford
and East Hartford, and Hartford
On-the- Hill, and Hartford-around-
generally. 1t is the strangest
thing-this paucity of names in
Yankee land. You find that it
is not a matter confined to Hart
ford, but it is a distemper that
aflicts all New England. They
get a name that suits them, and
then hitch Distinguishing titles to
it and hang them on all the villa
ges round about. In this connec-
tion they'tell a story of a stranger
who was coming up the Connecti-
cut river, and was trying his best
to sleep; but every now and then
the boat would stop, and a man
would thrust his head into the
room. First he sung out "Had-
dam!" and then "East Haddam p
and then 'Haddam's Neckp and
then "North Haddamr' and then
"Great Haddam!" Little Had
damT "0ld Haddaml" "New
Haddam~ "Irish Haddamr"
"Dutch Haddam !" "Haddam-Had
dam!' and then the stranger
jumps out of bed all excited, and
says; 'I'm a preacher, full of
grace, and forty years in service,
