SLEEPING IN THE CoRnAL,-Billy "

SLEsPISG IN THE CoRRAL.-Billy Will
son, Of tho Carson stage line, is out at
White Pine, running a fast freight line
to Elko, and making money. We read
n letter from him, yesterday, to George
Alfred Gray, who has charge of his
business. Billy says White Pine is the
richest country out Of doors, but it is
not n pleasant section to live in ut pres
ent, there being no accommodation nor
comfort, and he has become homesick
for Carson, where "Nau and Pussy -
are living, and where home is. At White
Pine Hamilton he says he has had to
sleep in a "corral" Ohc parlor next
under the roof, whore from fifty to one
hundred and fifty lodge, ever since he
has been out there. Hank Monk IS
driving his stages for him. without
the comforts of home, what good IS all
the money a, White Pine?
P~norIrARLE OsE.-Owins to the pres
cnt much reduced prices of milling, low
Grade ores which could not formerly be
worked with profit eau now be made TO
Weld q good revenue. Ia the Justice
Iudependeut mine, lower Gold Hill,
large bodies of this character have long
b.eu known to exist, and under the su-
perintendenee Of W. n. Lect it is now
being brought to light. Since our item
of II few days ago announcing work
having commenced on that mine, the
shaft has been pumped out, for the first
time in three or four years, and proper
" repaired 10 the bottom, a depth OF
$50 feet, and q new safety cage put into
operation. Tho company intend sink
ing the shaft deeper soon, and drifting
into the ledge rs zach 100 feet deeper Is
attained, thus opening out tho mine Tor
extensive and profitable working. Bod
les Of high grade as well MS low grade
ore will doubtless be developed.
DRIFTING FOR THE LEpGx.-At the
dspth Of 700 feet in their new shaft the
Ophir Company are about to commence
drifting west for tho ledge, leaving n
sump or pump well in the shaft, below
that level, Of 20 feet. The explorations
in the old workings Of the mine did not
develop anything good below GOO feet,
but this TO0-foot level may. We hardly
think, however, that any now extensive
and rich bodies of ore can be looked for
ut that point in less than 1000 feet
deep. This drift, however, may furnish
some indication Of what sort OF n Ledge
may be expected below.
FoR BsvrRAGEs.-Call at Theater
Hall saloon, kept by Finch Il Meredith,

spiritual drink, such rs will warm up

Clarkson, whom everybody knows as

tempt even Il Good TemplHr.

festival and ball Of the Methodist Church

tributcd so literally to this good cause,
