In the last Saturdays number OF the
Humboldt Register, Bro. Bonnifeld
says:
We are in receipt of several letters
this week asking rs how We stand on
the suffrage question. That none may
be mistaken on this point, We state
that, judging from the general result OF
elections for the last eight years, We
are of opinion that more have the ballot
now than know how to use it well. We
have been, and are now opposed to the
extension of the elective franchise. But
if the Fifteenth Amendment becomes
part of the Constitution of the United
States, the columns of the Register will
not only be open for the discussion OF
female suffrage, as it is now, but we
will advocate it, go for i, and vote for
il, and encourage it BY every possible
means in our power, in the State OF
Nevada.
He is q gallant old pirate, that Bon
nifield.

ScARcrrY OF WArsR on TRBAsURE
HlLL.-Says the Inland Empire Of the
5,h inst:
We are in receipt Of . communication
from Treasure City, which makes COM
plant Of the scarcity of water up that
way for the last few days, and the rates
charged for the same since the intro.
duc,iou of the Illapah. The pipes OF
the Water Works have been out of re-
pair for last day or two, but concerning
the other matter complained OF, we
are not advised. Following is what
our correspondent has to say on the
subject: Treasure City has been with
out water for the last three days. The
Water Company, after Colonel Head
took his departure, gave the hauling OF
the water about town to two carts, and
now that an acciden. has occurred to
the pipes, we are not served at all. An
old shaft that had partly filled with wa
Ter from the leakage of the tank OF the
Water Company was sought by our cit
liens in great numbers, but the supply
Obtained from that source has now been
eXuauSteu. Obc VI two LIS sooS no.
found their way up the hill nave COM
PEELED US TO pay Fifty cents bucket for
water This might be excused on &C
count of The great demand for il at this
particular time, but even when the
pipes are in thorough repair we are
charged more than when we had to rely
wholly upon the carts. Formerly we
got nine buckets for the same price that
is charged for seven buckets under the
special contract system. If this order
of things is long permitted to exist it
will be difficult to discern the blessings
flowing from Illapah The people down
.houi the Eberhardt mine are compelled
to travel to Shermantown for water
necessary to meet their purposes. One
or two water carts could find profitable
employment in that vicinity. l. is no.
toriously true that we Pogonippers are
just now a thirsty people.
Nice place to live IN where water is
sold at four bits a bucket.

San Francisco. November She
steamer Orizaba arrived from San Diego.
Liverpool wheat declined one penny since
Saturday.
A woman. residing on Main street, was
terribly beaten BY her husband, and she is
now lying in precarious condition. NO ar
rest has been made by the police. Her
name is not given.
The Fair Oaks Seminary was burned to
the ground this morning. The pupils. some
80 in number, escaped. 1t was evidently
the work of an incendiary, as the carpets
on the lower floor were all saturated with
coal oil. The building is said to have been
partially insured.
TREASURE CITY, November THE Eber-
hard, Company struck new body OF ore to-
dav in the keystone cut which equals in
richness any yet found in the mine. Inc
very rich ore has now shown itself to extend
the entire width of the mine-l92 feet.
Large quantities of ore are accommodating
at the various mills. The MONDAY Com
PAW have commenced sending ore to mill.
They have about 100 tons on the dump with
a large body exposed in the new drift.
Six tons of ore from the Cicero Pasco
mine. crushed at the Monte Cristo mill,
Welded S7S per ton. The mine has 700
tons out.
Mining interests are in better condition
and the mines looking better and yielding
more bullion than at any period in the his

Two of the most important suits have been
compromised during the PAST week-the
Original Hidden Treasure VS.. the Rathburr,
and the Great Republic VS.. the Mammoth
Our principal mines are now free from lltl-

Shipment of bullion for the week ending
TO-DAY was $500 so.
ELKo. November Another new mill

Francisco, is expected to arrive here shortly.
News received from Cope by last nights

bly. Business was very good. New ioca-
tions. with good prospects, are being made
daily, and travel ny railroad and stage has
been quite brisk during the last few days.
The White Pine stages are running full.
The bulk of the travel by railroad con-
tinues to the west. Large numbers of Ger

emigrant trains, to the west. There were
IS passengers going east and l50 west, to-

FISHING WITH GIANT foWDEk.-lhe
Enterprise alludes TO our notice of the
outrageous practice of destroying fish
with giant powder cartridges and COM
ment- as follows:
Yesterday we had conversation
with A gentleman who has had some
xpertence ut this kind of fishing He
" hat while stopping at the warm
Springs, near Genoa, last Week, he
several times went out with parties OF
gen,lemeu To blast trout ont OF the Car
son the way they practice tbs ne"
mode of fishing is as follows: They take
a cartridge of Giant powder weighing
about quarter of pound, insert into
it piece of fuse, properly capped, aoou'
six inches IN lenth, then Lighting the fuse
the cartrige is THROWN into any deep
hole supposed to CO tain trout or other
Ash. After the cartridge has been
thrown into the water smoke and hub
ples of gas are seen to rise to the sur
t.ce. then in few seconds comes the
explosion-a dull. heavy report. The
surface of the water Is seen to bulge
IN and the ground can be felt to shake
| for fifteen or twenty feet back from the
water. Immediately after the expo
sior all the fish that happen to be
within circle of,tweuty-Gve or thirty
feet Of the spot where the cartridge
tell come to the surface either Filled
ou,right-or so badly stunned that II
| is some minutes before they recover
Our iuforman' says that with two cart
ridges he saw over fifty pounds of hsh
killed, counting trout, white fish and
chubs, To places after blast the
whole surface of the water would oe
covered with minnows7 from an inch to
three or four inches in length In Eiko
they are practicing the same style OF
fishing, ouiy that out there they tie the
cartridge to the end OF pole and
thrust it into the water, holding II uil
the explosion occurs. This is the most
destructive mode of fishing we have
ever beard Oft is regular wholesale
slaughter of great and small, good and
bad. Should the practice gain GROUND
it will be necessary for the Legislature
to pu, stop TO it by an Act making II
criminal offense to fish with Giant
, Powder. Parties have already been
talking Of trying this blasting process
in Lake Tahoe, where by using large
cartridges they expect to bring up hmm
dreds of trout at Il single shot.
Nobody but the most wanton pot
hunter" needs ary such law as our
ueighbor hints at; but the fact being SO
painfnily apparent that nothing but An
especially stringent statute will put q
sion to this cruel and wastesul practice
an enactment of the nature suggested
should DO among the earliest perform
.nces Of the incoming Legisiature.
