BRIRR HEARD FRoN.-Brier, formerly
Of Gold Hill, and late local on the
Inland Empire, has been out prospecting
the last few weeks in the big mountains
south and east Of White Pine. He
writes to that paper that he has struck
it the biggest kind; that he has found a
ledge of solid chleride and is just as
rich as he ever wants to be; also very
lousy. He goes on to say: We pros
pected for several days without luck;
indeed, we had no luck until We got
'~grcybacks;' then, ye gods! we struck
it rich.' Now, as far as Brier is con-
eerned, his being lousy is no sign of his
being rich; quito the contrary. The
first time we ever saw him he was try
ing to scratch his back against an old
sycamore in Santa Clara Valley, and
cursing the tree for having such u
smooth bark. He was the ~lousiest man
in Como, and was chief in that respect
ut Excelsior. He was aflueut only in
graybacks-not greenbacks-while here
at Gold Hill. lie breeds lice. He is
never without Thorn, and always had a
big thing" he was born in July, and
according to the latest planetary prog.
nostications no man born in that month
n ever make a cent out Of mines.
A~PpRopsIArs PREssNrArIos.-At the
regular meeting of the Gold Hill Miners
Union held last evening, A. A. Putnam,
foreman Of Liberty Engine Co., No. l,
presented through tho President Of the
Union, T. A. Atkinson, q very neat ban
ner staff, appropriately surmountsd by
a handsomely carved pick, shovel,
sledge, etc., implements Of the miners
Fourth of July, when the miners turned
out in the procession, under their re-
spectire foremen, those from the I'm
perial mine bore at their head these
same set Of emblems, made for the oc-
casiou by Mr.. Putnam, then head car
psnter at the Imperial. Putnam has
kept them ever since, until last evening
be presented them to the Union. A
vote of thanks, pennsd in ~acknowledg-
meut, will be found in another column.
Il 10 q very appropriate present, and will
DO highly appreciated, the more es-
pecially as the miners do the celebrating
vi ING r OuEku, uONouhl ~
require all their tools to do it with.
A FoRruSs SrcuRED.-very few per-
sons who have not studied tho system
of endowment policies in life insurance
can realize how small a sum spared
from their daily earnings will secure
them a snug little fortune in five or ten
years hence. Most men throw away
money enough on whisky, tobacco, etc.,
every day, to pay up the premium on u
policy Of thousands Of dollars. Every
mans duty, however, is to get his life
insured in some shape or other, n we
know Of no better inducements than arc
held out By the Pacific Mutual, whose
advertisement csn be seen 10 another
column. Daniel NJ. Gloster of Gold Hill
is travelling agent for this excellent COM
papy.
CosvsxlESr.-Hamptou's bus line,
between Gold Hill and Virginia, nari-
gated by those two experienced horse
engineers, Doug. and Brown, is partic-
ularly well appreciated just about this
time. II is well worth W bits to
ride inside, cool and comfortable, out
of the way of the hot u and dust, or
even mounted on the hurricane deck,
ENJOYING the gentle summer breezes
and the rural views surrounding. Two
bit, are saved by every ride, in the way
Of shoe leather, to say nothing Of avoid
ing much disagreeable sweat and eSer-
ton.
TIE CAUSE Or Ir.-Tbe reason Of the
Reno stage With railroad passengers
from the East arriving yesterday morn.
ing at Virginia four hours behind time,
as we ascer,ained through the telegraph
operator, was that the trains were all
DELAYED east of Reno. The embank-
ment of the railroad had been washed
away by a sudden torrent of water
down a canyon, caused by q water
spout, or rather a cloud-burst. Consid-
cradle of the road was displaced, and
the engine of the psymaster's Car ran
OF the track. No one injured.
RAISING AND LowEnISe.-The water =
being raised from the north shaft E the
Yellow Jacket mine at a very lively rate
to-day, as q second org tue was SET W
work this morning in the north CON-
psr,ment Of the shaft. The water is
lowering 10 the shaft at q rate corre-
sponding to that at which it is being
raised out of it, but it viii be some
weeks vet before the water is all out, as
more OF less repairing aud fixing con-
stanuy has to be done. Each tub holds
100 gallons.
SENT Up. Carr, the fellow who
drugged q drunken man and afserward
deceived him into the rear room of n
saloon on South G street, Virginia,
three or four evenings ago, and robbed
him, was yesterday on trial before Re-
corder Livingston, found guilty and
Sued STA. No. having the cola. he was
sent to the county Jail for 81 days.
Cheap enough.
SuppSx DsArH.-Miehael Burke, we'll
known BY a large circle of friends and
aco~uaintances, in Virginia and Gold
Hill, was taken i'll OF the 18th instant
at White Pine, and was removed to the
County Hospital, where he died sud
denly shortly after arriving. Deceased
