How THEY DO 1T IN WHITE PINS
Treasure City, White Pine, might be
called rather a young community, just
vet; but although young, we think
il will pass muster among the smart
peoples of the world. Most of those
who have been there a few months have
their eye teeth cut, and lind time when
not busy hoeing their cabbages, to cut
the eye teeth of other people-eveu old
acquaintance recently arrived. Every
body along the !ine of the Comstock
ledge knows Bob Apple. He is init
mately connected with the history of
our earliest and most energetic mining
developments, and recently left the su-
perintendency Of the Sierra Nevada niue
to 60 to White Pine. He is apparently
now al Treasure City. John White,
writing from that rural locality, under
date of February llth, says: Bob
Apple is a smart mau-very smart for
Sierra Nevada folks heavy on "plung-
ers," but this is a plunger's element.
Bob wanted real estate das is is"
"das is Isl" so he rushed round TO find
some greenhorn who didn't know any
thing about the big future of White
Pine, or the prospective value of lots in
Treasure City. He would save brokers
fees, and all that sort of thing, you
know, aud " dell you some dings." He
found his man. He found him working
On q lot on Union street, yesterday. Bob
was in a hurry ; asked him what he
would take for the lot. Five hundred
dollars" says ~greenhorn. Gifts you
four hundred" says Robert. Sold, y
says greeny, as he got his coin. Bob
wanted more real estate, and rs greeny
had any amount of il, why they got
"jolly, or and Bob, for the ,rifiing
sum Of $1,000, became the owner OF
three lots in the Hottest city east or
west of the Rocky Mountains. Twas q
big days work and Robert, strokiug
mis- chin very complacently, exclaimed :
"Sho, | makes dirty tousand dollar in
doc monts." Aud the crowd envicd
Bob his prophetic knowledge and bust
ness capacity. Some said it was
money that made money" and ga
man couldn't buy anything in Treasure
City and lose by the operation" The
fame Of Bob had preceded him here,
and all now agreed that he was II
smart man all except one of our
William B. Astors, who wondered cx-
ceedingly how it was possible for one
man to buy three lots IN Treasure City
in one day. And he was inquisitive
accordingly, and DOT convinced the
"smart man - that there was "a mis-
take somewhar." Robert wanted the
police force. Money IS King, so he got
not only the police force, but several
specials 10 search the city. In the
meantime, greeny /" wanted peace or
to make a piece" so he went down TO
that quiet suburban town, the resort Of
White Pine millionaires and milliners-
Hamllton-and vas calamity fighting
the tiger, when the myrmidons of the
law pouncei upon him, and extracted
from him nearly SOCIAL he had left in
coin and valuables. To-day, in the
Courtroom, they will try the case /:
Estate Of Nevada VS.. Greeny." 1t will
take the jury several hours to decide
which is Greeny.
liz DUMPED THg CARs.-Superintend-
ents Of mines meet with all sorts OF
queer characters to deal with, and find
plenty Of opportunity for the exercise OF
patience and forbearance. Smith, who
was experimenting II mine-no matter
where-was standing near the mouth of
the adit tunnel one day, when one Sny-
der came along and asked for Il job.
"Well, what can you do best asked
Smith. "Auytiug you wants, boss !;
you shoost tell me vat you wants done,
OATS all. rs u miner, | is, pet yer
life" "All right, then you see those
FIVE loaded cars there in the mouth OF
the tunnel just run EN- out and dump
EN-. "Dump en- you say? Vot,
out dere?" eyes, you dam fool down
into the r~aviue; don't you see where
the dump is? thought you said You
was a miner" "All right, boss |
s'pose you knows your own business
pest /; it's all de same to me. | does
it," Smith had occasion to leave for 1"
short time, aud when he returned, there
stood Snyder, with his paws hitched up
on his hips, looking as complacent as
ANYBODY would who knew he had done
things up to order. "Veil, boss" says
he, cooking his head smartly over one
side, sshas you got any more of dem lit
tie yagonsP" ."More? hell! what the
devil have you done with them that was
here?" "Doue nit EN-? Wy shooSt
did vot you told me; | dumped EN-
over der dump, helvnrds down der can
Won, dirt, shtones and all. Oh PEGS
a miner, pet yer life" Smiths soul
was too suddenly appreciative Of the lu-
dicrous idea and the individual before
him TO do the swearing adequate to the
occasion /; so, after contemplating him
for a minute in silence, he asked,
whats your Nance "Snyder.'
"well Snyder, just you take this four
bits and 60 buy a couple OF drinks, ana
drink EN- both yourself. Git! dam
Won, git /! and il you ever come within a
mile of here again I'll break yonr
cu,sed head. Git Snyder left.
Sr,LL SHUT Dowy.-The miners still
remain shut down amid the lower re-
gions developed by the lmperial-EmPire
shaft. They are said to be still in the
cas-, clay wall of the ledge at the l.lOO-
foo, station, and just through it at the
.I,OOO-foot station. That clay wall must
be a terrible tough or thick one. Now
for tho black sulphurets and wire silver
Colcord still continues reticent. aud we
suppose will until the Trustees conclude
to lie, the cat, or rather the men, ou' OF
the bag. All are mercilessly left to eS-
asperats themselves with aggravat'ng
eonjectures regarding the Developments
made or about being made. We saw
one chap silly securing a bnckettul OF
the water coming from the shaft last
evening. Going to have 1t assayed'
probably.
