White Pine Itcu.-

\ letter from u friend At Hamilton,
dated the 18th instant, gives US the fol-
lowing important items: Mike Me-
Cluskey was down here ii day or TWO
ago from Treasure City. He bought
himself a new wig when he was down to
SAT- Francisco awhile ago, but he finds
it one size too small, rs it don't stick on
half as well as his old one he wore in
Gold Hill. Very few people here, be-
sides ourself knew that Nike really did
wear II wig.) Mike thinks his head
has shruuk some since he has been up
in Po-go-nip, but | rather think when
he bought that wig down at the Bay he
was u little "ou his nip and conse-
q~uently his head was temporarily
swclied at the time. Mike is the same
jolly, genial, ~pot-belfed Christian that
he was in Gold Hall, aud is sparkling u
little black.eyed Dutch girl up in Treas
ure. He is always prospecting about
for hidden treasures. Just before he
lief, TO come out to White Pine he got a
bran new set of false teeth made by Dr..
Cornwall Of Virginia, and the way he
does walk through the tough old roaSts
and steaks of his region is II sight to
behold. No wonder he gets fat,er.
One hash house man who had to take
his sign down trying TO board him at
the regular rates, has been watching
his opportunity ever since TO get even
on him by stealing those teeth, but
Nike is too sharp for him and is like II
weasel-he sleeps with his eyes open
aud not his mouth.
There was the liveliest little dog fight
this morning just back Of DR.. McMeans'
Office you ever heard of, between II
sulphuret mixed newfoundland, and II
chloride colored bulldog, all about II
stale soul bone. They fought two
rounds in one hour and forty minutes,
and then laid down and held each other
ill the spectators got Disguised, aud
kicked them apart, The bulldog got
the worst chawed, aud cam of with
one ear slit. the newfoundland only
lost a tooth, which got caught in the
other dogs collar and twisted out. No
arrests made.
The richest strike | know of in the
whole district is that recorded in the
Inland Empire of day before yesterday.
1t is called the Maggie Rose, and is q
recent location in the Base Metal
Range, made by u Mr.. Mood. The
E'mpirs goeson to say that the ledge is
about eighteen inches thick, and is.
pure metallic, there being no rock in it
whatever. 1t is what is termed argen-
tiferous galena, and is well defined for II
great distance. 1t is one of those mines
that will pay well by the soelting
process. The only trouble in extracting
the silver will be to separate it from The
lead and antimony. Now the E0er-
hardt nor any other of OUT very richest
mines don't begin to be deuce high to
that. The Maggie Rose for me-this
rose by any other name han Maggie
wouldn't smell half as sweet.
| have nothing more OF great i'm
portance to add, excep: that Grier has
got n new suit. Don't know how he
managed to get it, but he hnS, aud for
the first time since he left Gold ll3ll h"
begins to look half way respectable.
He was u little the SccdicSi old hOnSier
ANYBODY ever saw before h. got this
new rig. He hasn't got So ~ 10 feel or
act natural in it rs yet; don know
where to pu; his hands. The pants are
too ,igh, across the hips, and his coat
fits him like u barley sack on i guide
post.
