oRr THIEVES CAUGHT Some time a.

the house at the South Aurora mine, and
no cline was had to the thieves. At yari-
ous times since, select ore has been
taken away, the whole worth in the vi
cinity of three or four hundred dollars.
On Tuesday evening, n of DIR. Good
fellows little girls, and a playmate,
started to 90 around the house. and
suddenly came upon n man who was
emerging from the side p~assage-way with
a filed sack in his hands. The children
were scared, and screamed, and a Mr..
McMichael who was on the opposite side
of the way ran over to see what the
matter was. The man with the sack
made some suspicious movements, when
Mr.. McMichael asked him what he had
in the sack. He admitted 1t was ore,
and on examining it, MIR. Mem. discoy-
cred that it was ore belonging to him
self. He and DIR. Goodfellow at once
arrested the man, whose name turned
ont TO be Bigelow. A search of the
cabin where the thief resides disclosed
the missing ore of the South Aurora,
and another arrest was made of a man
in whose cabin other stolen ore was
found. As there has been considerable
Of this kind of thievery going on in the
mines and ore-houses in the vicinity of
Treasure City, DIR. Goodfellow and Mr..
McMichael are determined to prosecute
these eulprits to the full extent of the
law. IL does not take many sacks Of
fine selected chlorides to amount to a
snug sum, and US ore-stealing has been
heretofore looked upon as among the
rare crimes, fine selected specimens have
been allowed TO lie around very loosely.
and offered a better speculation for
thieves than they will probably find it in
the future.
PIcSIc CELEBRATION AT SHERMAN.-A
mass meeting of the citizens of Sherman
town was held in DeCook's Hall, Tuesday
evening, to consider upon some mode of
locally celebrating the Fourth of July.
Z. J. Butler was called TO the chair, aud
after some debate II was decided that a
picnic, with appropriate exercises, should
be held, commencing at four O'Clock in
the afternoon, so as 10 enable the citizens
of S~hermantown 10 participate in the
Hamilton celebration and return in time

CoMIcALrTIEs OF A STAGE LANpISe.-
W. b. Crane, agent Of the New York
Life, returned here yesterday on the
stage. The usual crowd had gathered in
front Of Wells, Fargo a Co., and among
them many of the insurers lives. As
they were indulging in a hearty shake,
the drive threw to Crane the heel OF a
boot, which had worked of during the
ride. As Crane recognized it, one Of his
friends congratulated him on only losing
his heel and saving his sole. This fishy
joke was n success. Mccormick, how
ever. piled Ossa upon Pelion, 10y grayely
informing the man who dealt in lives
that Hamilton was a dangerous place for
unheeled people 10 come to. Crane
rushed to his office, and doubtless tried
another policy.
Tux PoooSIp AND OTHELLo.-We un-
derstand that these consolidated mines
are about TO be actively worked by an
Eastern Company, who have effected the
purchase of a two-thirds interest in
them. Some of the parties to the pur.
chase arrived Yesterday, and others are
expected at Elko Immediately. c. A.
Low, the representative of the original
owners, stopped over at Elko for the
balance of the party. These mines were
submitted 10 the Chicago excursionists
who visited this place last year. They
thought very fayorably of them, and the
company was organized and the purchase
arose out Of their report and representa-
LONESOME of them taking interests IN
the operation.
A HosT OF LADIEs.-The Fourth of
July Committee have appointed every
Lady we can think of in White Pine
county on the committee TO decorate
the car of State. The list comprises the
names of SO ladies', and with this COM
bination of taste and decorative origin
atty, we ought certainly to have a
car of State this year which will surpass
in magnifcence and design any festival
display heretofore witnessed on this
Coast.
CHEAP FORWARDING MI FRE1GHTING.-
The %irrepressible Elder, Of Elko, is deter
mined to have his share of business.
He has o put his charge for forward
in from Elko down to one dollar per tun;
and the freight charge from the railroad
to Hamilton is only one cent per pound.
He offers excellent advantages for the
shipment of ore and bullion to San
Francisco or the East for working. See
his new advertisement in to-day's NEWS.
QUEER THING TO ADVERTISE Some
body advertises the loss of a set of teeth.
We have often known men to lose a set
OF teeth; but they were always so effect
ually lost that the owner would never
think of advertising for them. Demo
cratic primaries are good places to lose
teeth, either by the retail or wholesale.
The FIRE DELEoATEs.-The Board of
Fire Delegates held a meeting last even-
ing and appointed A. p. earle as an aid,
with the Grand Marshal's consent, to
represent the Board. The Board de-
termined not to parade as a body, but to
TURN out with their respective compa-
MES.
MINE SOLD AT EUREKA.-We learn that
the Buckeye mine, near Eureka, and be-
longing to some Cornish boys, has been
sold to VIM. M. Lent for $65, 600. There
is large amonnt OF ore on the dump,
which is not Included in the sale, as the
owners of the mine refused to sell it with
the other property for less than 800, 900.
