experienced hand at the business, hal
undertaken to navigate II cargo o
lodging house furniture out to White
Pine. On starting out the other day
he hitchcd the tongue Of the "back'
action to the brake bar, under the for
ward wagon. As might be expected,
the team had n terrible hard time pull
ing the load along G street, and at the
north end of town he called II friendly
tcamstcr into consultation, swearing
that he believed 'twould kill every ID
animal in the team at this rate, before
he got 10 miles out. He never saw q
wagon pull so hard. Explanation fol.
lowed, the thing was properly arranged
and he drove on without further diff.
Guilty. If he gets through with that
load all right, nobody else need hesitate
to try the trip.

LOOKING FARTHER EAST FOR IT,
Parties are prospecting for tho north
end of the Coms.ock ledge beyond Vir'
cinia, some distance cast of where it
has heretofore been supposed TO run,
being convinced from the present known
dip OF the ledge that it trends in that
direction, passing east OF the Catholic
Cemetery. Time and labor will decide
whether they are correct or not. May
they encounter rich chimneys Of black
~sulphurets and wire silver.
