The town of Carlin is the home of
Susie Raper, the famous Lady Gay
Snanker and female bu~ccaneer Of the
ssgebrush. Every now and then the
citizens of that place are treated to q
little fun by the fair damsel. Susie
has no superior in boldness, dash and
intrigue, if any equal. No yellow
covered book ever pictured her equal,
if all accounts are true. Susie Is as
pay and as festive as any female
frcubadour who ever trod the noun
tains under the blue sky of Italy.
Possessing a natural and graceful ap-
~pearance, q keen eye, quick intellect,
4 tongue that swings on a pivot, she
can make up to represent any charac-
ter, and has ability enough to execute
any deep-laid scheme. The Mazeppa
chief Of a gang Of land pirates, she
boasts of her power to command, at q
moments warning, their assistance to
execute her wishes, however unlawful
or diabolical they may be. The expo
rience Of the dungeon taught her no
lesson, as it was hoped it would have
done by her lovers. On Friday last q
valuable race-horse of hers, named
Humboldt, was attached by Constable
Brophy to satisfy a butchers bill, at
Mineral Hill, and brought to Carlih
without her knowledge. On learning
the fact, she went to the stable where
the horse was kept and coaXed the
groomsman to allow her to lead him
into the yard to see If the animal
would recognize her. No sooner was
she out than she sprang astridc OF
Humboldt and started for another
stable, claiming possession and threat
ening the officers with destruction If
they attempted to retake the horse.
She was finally captured, after q lib
cral exhibition Of her we'll moulded
eXtremities to the greedy street gazers
In her Menken ride through the town.
The horse was place in a secure posi-
ton, and Susie left with. curses OF. her
lips.
The best evidence Of improvement in
times Is the increase of money circula-
ton. Both of our banking houses re-
port an increase in their transactions
during the past ten days. One house
alone passed over its counter, OH Mon-
day last, 81, ZOO, which is quite q
respectable days work for q town like
Elko. There is no difficulty in ncgo-
tiating loans ut fair rates If parties can
show cause and put up tangible col
lateral.
Two men were arrested oil Monday
II suspicion of being connected with
the robbery Of Beachy, Wines & Co.'s
stage, several days since. The case
will be investigated by the next Grand
Jury, which will be in session next
Tuesday.
Two hundred and thirty pounds Of
bullion came In by Beachy's stage last
evening from Mountain City. This is
tho second shipment from the Argcnta
mine during the past week.
Oppenheimer & Co. received this
week $1,000 worth of gold dust from
Mountain City. The diggings are pan
ming out well. The present estimate
OF tile dust taken out daily at that camp
Is 5000.
II. NJ. Elder 6 Co. bought thirty
ounces of dust yesterday, from indie
pendence Valley, paying$l per ounce.
Quite a crowd Of Chinese miners are at
work there. y
The Mondays stage from Mountain
City brought in 300 pounds of fine bull
lion for Wells, Fargo q Co., from Ar
genta ore, worked in the Reinhart ~
Drew mill.
The Presbyterian Church in Elko is
being erected as fast as possible. 1t
will be ready to run in the interest of
the gospel in about two weeks.
A large quantity Of crushed ore from
White Pine is lying OIL the depot plat
form, awaiting shipment below.
