Ely DISTRICT. - The Ely Record
newspaper, which has reached its sew
enth number. dated last Sunday, re-
ceiyed this morning, is now published
by Holland Il Simpson, showing con-
siderable improvement, editorially and
geographically. The publishers MI
nounced that for one week before the
election 1t would be published daily.
OF the mining business and prospects
in Ely district, of which Phoebe city is
headquarters, the Record says:
Never in the history Of silver mining
have the people of a mining district
had so much to incite than to action
as have the people of Ely district at
this time. More mills are needed, it
is true; those nov running arc not
capable of crushing an eighth part OF
the ore that can be mined from the
claims now developed. The new ten
stamp mill belonging to Ely. Ray
moud Il Nee Is nov crushing % tons
Der day of ore from the Burke mine;
while the Pioneer five-stamp mill, be-
longing to Ely & Raymond, crushes
10 tons from the same mine. The ore
yields by mill process an average OF
Sll7 per ton. The Meadow Valley
mill is steadily working, crushing 10
tons of ore each day, from the Meadow
Valley mine. What the ore yields per
ton we are not Informed, although we
know it is over 800.
Every claim that is being worked
shows fine bodies Of high grade ore,
and gives the assurance that Phoebe is
to be one of Neyada's largest and most
prosperous cities.
Work has been resumed OH all the
leading mines, and the dumps are all
full of ore that would set the jewellers
OH the Comstock crazy If they could
see that kind of ore coming out Of
some of the old mines that have so
long given character to Washoe.
II Is useless to particu!arize where
all the mines or claims are OF true fis-
sure veins. each showing ore from the
surface to the lowest workings that
will work by mill process from 300 to
-, 900 per ton. Bad weather, poor
house. political excitement and want
of office help. force lis to be brief this
week.

WHAT A Boy OrGRr TO BE.-At

a boy is capable of taking care Of him
self out Of doors. He ought to I've able
TO drive Il horse, to climb the highest
tree, to swim Skillfully. to carry a gun
safely aud use it Alright, to be OF sncn
a manly disposition as not 10 provoke
attack. or if wantonly assailed, to have
such q courageous way Of using him.
self as that the same miscreant will
not meddle with him tho second time.
Nimble of hand, quick Of foot strong
of loins, patient Of fatigue, loving OF
action for mere luxury. This Is the
boy that the pious mother finds it hard
to train Christianly; and when to this
outward freedom is added the self
control which true religion gives, he
will grow up such 4 man as the St lte
needS-as good men honor-as true
women fervently love.-Beecher.

4. PIECE of ordnance, it Is stated, Is
now in course of construction at the
Woolwich (Englandl foundries, which
will surpasS all previous attempts at
building large guns. This piece Of
ordnance weighs thirty-flve tons, and
will be capable OF ~discharging \ solid
p~rojectile weighing 700 pounds, and n
hollow she'll weighing much more.
The ordinary cartridge Is to contain
80 pounds Of powder, and the battering
charge will weigh 40 pounds. The
gun will he rified with nine grooves,
the twist increasing so that the ball
will revolve once in passing over every
100 inches. The velocity of the shot,
it ia calculated. will reach 1,2U feet
per second, and the range will extend
to 5000 yards, or over five miles. 1t
Is, however, agued that as the limit of
sight is ut most 5000 yards the range
Of a gun beyond that distance Is Of
small importance, except when firing
at very long objects. Two vessels OF
war now building in England, it Is
announced. will be armed with guns
of the above description. and will be
protected with armor plating IL to Is

drawn ont of n corral and left for the
hogs to eat, they all got \ portion and

Mr.. Crittenden, the victim, Is we'll

the she devil, Mrs. Fair, who kept the
Tahoe House In Virginia city in 1864,

saving, "You son Of -, you have
been the ruin Of both me and my
daughter" drew n Sharp's Householder
and Shot him through the breast, in
ilicting what is supposed to be a mortal
wound. She fired but n shot ; but
instantly passed the pistol-a new one,
evidently never before used to a
friend, who attempted to throw it
overheard, but was prevented. She
was arrested by Crittenden's son and
the Captain Of the steamer, and given
in charge of Captain Kentzel, Of the
IIarbor Police, at the wharf. She is
now In Jail awaiting the result of the
wound inflicted. Crittenden is at his
home. The surgeon Is searching for
the ball. Mrs. Fairs first husband

actress. ,
1t Is reported that Mrs. Fair had
| threatened long since that if Crittenden
ever brought his family baSk to live
with him She would kill him. She shot
ut him ut 33l Kearny street some years
since, but did not hit him. His sister
