GoING TO WHITE PINE.-Our friend
II. NJ. friedrich, tho we'll known aud
popular ~jeweler at Virginia, leaves for
Treasure City next Tuesday in order to
establish q branch Of his business at
that place. His new store will be OPP
Posite Wells Fargs & Co., on the princi-
pal street, in u fine business locality.
friedrich is n of the most enterprising
men We have in the State-cyer willing
to assist in the development of II new
district or locality ever though h;
comes out u heavy loser, as in E1
e~elsior. We wish him the best of sue
cess at White Pine, or wherever else he
may be.
ALL QUrEr.-Everything continues
quiet at the Yellow Jacket, Kentuck
and Crown Point mines. The shafts
are still closed, and will probably be
opened on Monday next, in case the
controlling powers are fully satisfied
that the FIRE is extinguished, and
the reopening can be effected without
risk. Some little gaseous steam or
SlTphS atllL lsSuCS hOh SsS CIV"
Jacket, but none from the other two
shafts.
SIERRA NEvADA.-The large body Of
rich pay ore recently developed in the
surface workings of this valuable and
well managed mine still continues to
look as well rs ever, and will hold out
for many a long mouth. Tho mill is
steadily working, and the yield of bull
lion will be fully as good this month as
it was last, judging from present indi-
cations.
STREET TRANSFORMATIONS GAL
lsgher has caused a decided improve
ment in Main street at various points,
especially in lower Gold Hill, during
the last day or two by the hauling Of
numerous loads Of gravel and waste
rock and filling up the deep ruts and
uneven places.
WEAruER.-It has been inclined to
be u little stormy for the last day or
two. This morning there was about an
inch of snow on the ground, but it did
not last more than hour or two 1t is
getting too late for much winter
weather.
SUNDAY SCHOOL CELgBRATIoS.-Let
| all connected with the celebration OF
ST. Johns Sunday School, Gold Hill,
bear in mind that it was postponed from
Sunday, the llth instant, until further
notice.
SHUT DowS.-The Rhode Island mill,
Gold Hill, is shut down at present, and
will continue so probably until its regu-
lar supply of ore from the Crown
Point mine can be obtained again.
MuYIFIcESr.-A letter from John
White, at Treasure City, states that
they will probably raise about $4,000
out in White Pine for the Gold Hill suf-
fcrers.

The Oarlist Revolution.

In Spain, until lato years, the Salie
Law prevailed. This was derived
from body of laws framed by the
Franks in the fifth century. By the
sixty-socond paragraph of this law fe
males were excluded from tho sucoes.
sion to the crown. Males only could
inherit the throne. ,t IA,
Ferdinand VII, of Spain had no
male heirs. Through tho instrumon.
tality of his wife, Maria Christina. he
issued tho Pragmatic Decroo, royok.
ing the Salic Law, and dying in 1888,
he bequeathcd his crown to his daueh.
ter Isabella.
Isabella was proclaimed Queen,
with hor mothor Christina as Re-
gent.
But Ferdinand VII, left brother,
Don Carlos, who claimed that the re-.
vocation Of the Salic Law was with
out authority, and that he, as the
next male in succession, was tho true
and lawful King of Spain.
This was the signal for civil war,
The two parties wcro known as tho
Carlist and tho Christina parties. For
seven years this strife desolated Spain
and deluged it in blood.
Finally the Cortcs confirmed tho ii.
tlo of Isabella as Queen and bunished
into exile Don Carlos and his princi.
pal supporters.
Since then little over a quarter of
century has passed. Isabella is in
turn fugitive from tho dominions
lately under her sway. She has
becn 1oIhroucd by her people.
And now against tho new Govern
ment, instituted undor q Regency in
Spain, Don Carlos, tho son and hoir of
the Don Carlos of 1888, asserts his
claim to the throne.
The Carlist question again is pre-
sented for solution.
At the last accounts Don Carlos
had crossed tho frontier. -Four
thousand of his troops had arrived at
LA Nlanche, while the Government
forces were marching to the scene Of
action.
