WHITE PINE ITEMS.

Through Wells, Fargo & Co. we have
rece.red the Inland Empire Of the 22nd
and. 23d inst.-wbich are the earliest
deliveries of White Pine papers we
have noticed. From Thursdays issue
OF that paper we extract the followi ing:
! A reliable correspondent at Shermantown
| furnishes us with the annexed account ct a
Masonic gathering in that burg " The Ma
sonic fraternity held table lodge in the
Monitor Saloon, on Monday evening, April
| 10. A large number of the Masonic Asso-
citation were present. Nearly every nation
ality represented. The best of feeling
predominated, wine flowed freely, and all
seemed happy. Toasts were given and re-
sponded to by different members. Among
the most notable were the responses by Ma
ior +. A. Sherman, Master of ceremonies,
Elder McGrath, Mr.. Garland and others.
Elder McGrath responded to n toast to Ire
! land in very eloquent manner, which elici
ted much applause. Major Sherman re-
counted some incidents regarding the press
of the Pacific coast, which were veil re-
ceivei. The fraternity here all remarked
| that they enjoyeda pleasant evening, and
the exercises were kept up until late hour,
full justice being done to the excellent table
Set DY oupUlla, OF t1c -hOHltOr. We
hope he may live to set many aore and to
enjoy them as well IS he seemed to on this
occasion. 1t is impossible to notice all the
speeches, toasts, etc, but suffice it to say we
had splerdid time, and hope to have many
more such"
We paid visit to the Eberhardt yester-
day, and had the pleasure of the company of
Captain Frank Drake and Superintendent
Bicknell to show us through the mine. We
shall this morning only say that as much !
ore has been taken out as can be worked by I
the capacity of our mills. Ehe tunnel has
reached the upper level and the next level |
is being opened rapidly as possible. The |
mine looks splendidly. The lamp of ALA |
youth such cave of riches. There are
about thirty men employed altogether in the
mine, bnt the ore extracted (about 400 tons)
is SO far ahead of the capacity of the mills t
that there is a pause in the labor under
ground. We shall in another issue prop
erly record our very satisfactory observa-
tiqns n this extraordinary mine.
From the Empire of the 23l inst we
clip the following:
Yesterday, in certain saloon in this city,
a man slightly inebEiated saw gentleman
enter the SALOON where he was, and hav ;ag
was seized with desire for blood, and in
fit of frenzy he seized a huge deringer in
the back pocket of his pants and drew it
partially out, cooking it at the same time.
AT this juncture he discovered that the indi-
ridual whom he was about to slay was not
his enemy, but stranger. The saloon be-
ing iull he advised to put up the wea-
pom, and in attempting to do SO discharged
he piece in the rear pocket of his pants.
fhe scene tha.foilowed was beyond deseriP-
ion. Men rushed for the street, climbing
over one anotheElike stampeded cattle, every t.
me thinking each moment was his last.
After the house was cleared the would-be- t,
,rave was discovered standing in the centre
If the room with the entire seat blown from
lis pants, while scarcely drop of blood 5
circulated above tha waistJ land Of his pants. L
t will cause him to- think Of his latter end. :
Last evening billiard match was played /
It Luce's saloon between Wallace Nvrigh.
nd Livermore, of 1000 points, 4-ball carom -.
anne, crotches barred, for 500 side. The
aloon crowded with spectators who
unused themselves by makink remarks
bout the game and crowding in on the
layers. The game was won bv Livermore,
tho scored l,00l points to Wright's $50, '
.iVermore winning by 27o points. The
anne consisted of l0l innings each. Liver
,ore'. average, 9 91-lO0; Wrights average,
23-l00; three largest runs made by Liv-
rn}ore, ll3, %, 72.;. three largest runs made 4
y Wright, 55, IS, 81 We do not deem this !
ame worthy any praise considering the
layers. tits owing, perhaps, to the atmos-
here.
We understand the citizens. of Treasure T
ity have contributed $1,000 towards the
lpport of the hospital in this place. There I.
no place in the State where a hospital is X
,oie needed than in White Pine. Not that CT
.ere are many sick here, but that there are
undrsds Of persons among us-who have no
ne to look after them if sick. Everyone
carried along by the whirl- Of excitement,
nd never stop to think Of the sufferings of
,eir fellow men,, Let there be comfarta-
e place provided. and if we have no one
occupy it, there will be no harm done, and
,ould We be visited by any contagion or
,idemic, we will have suitable place for
e sick. i
