were incorrect. The truth is, We are not
particularly posted as regards horse flesh,
and accepted rs correct the statements
of persons who appeared to be familiar
with the terms of the approaching race.
Parties interested in the matter at Sher-
mantown, have addressed us a note stat
ing wherein we erred. Accordingly we
hasten to correct. The match is made
between Miller's Wild Bill and the
Glencoe Colt better known as the
Ellison Horse SO says the note to
which reference is made. Wild Bill is
backed by parties residing in Sherman
town, and the Travis Bros. 90 their
money on Glencoe. A forfeit of 5000
a-side has been deposited in The News
Office, and the match ia made for $1,000
$500 aside. The race il to conn of
three weeks from next Saturday.
Briefly, the foregoing is, we believe,
about the way turf matters now stand in
White Pine. We will cheerfnlly make
additional corrections, however, If any
are needed.
Our on BAL.-We promised consta-
bic Martin yesterday that we would say
something in his behalf relative to the
late robbery in which he has been impli-
Gated. His version Of the affair is TO the
effect that he was called in to suppress
the disorderly conduct of the men who
afterwards caused his arrest. He further
says that he knew nothing of the miss
ing money ($140) until the day follow
ing the occurrence. II was then, for the
first time, that he heard that the men
whom he officially squelched had alleged
that they were robbed. He further says,
that he will be able to establish his inno-
cence beyond pe~radyenture. when tho
matter comes on for trial. His bail was
fixed at 81 900, which he promptly fur
nished. We are very much ayerse to
doing any one Al injury, and hence we
have presented Constable Martins side
Of the case-hoping that, il guiltless, he
will have no trouble in establishing II by
competent testimony.
WoMAs's RIGHTs. the election held
in Treasure City, on Wednesday last,
some three or four ladies' voted for Min
ing Recorder, just, as they expressed it,
for the novelty of the thing There
was but one candidate in the field, and
the Judges of the election therefore
thought that no harm could result from
receiving the votes Of the fair creatures.
After all, We very much doubt whether
there is anything in u mining laws
prohibiting female suffrage, if the right
should be insisted on. Battle Mountain
and other localities bearing sanguinary
and suggestive names. may now hide
their diminished heads; for to White
Pine is due the credit of first according
equal political rights without regard to
sex, color, or previous condition
FmE BRIcK.-We were yesterday shown
n sample of fire brick manufactured by
Mr.. Anderson, eight miles north of
town, on the Egan road. The brick are
made from a combination of clays found
in the locality named, and from all APP
pearances possess the requisite heat-re-
sisting properties. The Wieland fur
mace is now lined with the new material,
and thus far it has been found to work
admirably. 1t is beliyed by some Of our
smelters that in the new article a cheap
and durable lining for furnaces has at
last been discovered. Samples of the
brick can be seen at Judge Baron's store,
South Main street.
ANNUAL ELEcTfos.-The annual cleo
ton for District Mining Recorder was
held in Treasure City on Wednesday
last. l.. P. Tenney the former Recorder,
had no opposition. and consequently but
little interest was manifested in the re-
suit. Accordingly, but few votes were
polled. Mr.. Tenney is al obliging gen.
tleman; is an efficient officer; and we
are glad of his reelection. We believe
no effort was made at the meeting to
amend the District laws. Our miners,
we presume, are still waiting for John
sons decision in the case of the Happy
Jack vs.. the John Dare.
cHEAp CLOTHING Two s%harpers,
passing by the name Of Jamison X Rat
tican, have lately been selling cheap
clothing in this city. They professed to
be representing a large Eastern manu-
featuring establishment, and sold suits
cheap enough to make a mans head
swim. They left yesterday, by Wood
ruff 4 Ennor's Eureka coach, and when
matters were summed up it was found
that they had bilked about half of the
town-in unpaid bills. A. T. Byrne, the
well-known oysterman, followed them
for a bill OF $40.
ACCIDENT PROM FALLIso.--A little
daughter of Mr.. Duran, residing in
Steptoe Valley, fell from q wagon a few
days ago, sustaining some painful
bruises. Fortunately no bones were
broken. and the child will speedily re-
cover.
DuLL.-We feel like ~apologizing 10 our

in this issue. TO be candid, but little
TRANSFERRED besides, we are mentally and
physically subsequently, demoralized.

issue.
