NEVADA " AND W o GROWING.
Mr.. G. Osborn, who keeps the lower
hotel Of Silver City, went East a short
time ago, taking with him about four
tons of wool produced by himself from
ordinary sheep pastured In the Walker
river section. He took 1t to Providence,
Rhode Island, where he found no diff.
ficulty in arranging for a sale Of 1t at
reasonable rates, aud has just returned
to Silver City. While absent he Wis
lied the famous stock raising place
known as Moreton Lodge, Guelph,
Ontario, Canada West, where he Dur.
chased six sheep Of the celebrated
Cotswold breed, one q pure blooded
buck from England and the balance
descendants. Among the meritorious
peculiaritles of this breed are their dis
inclination to ramble or stray of, they
are large, often weighing over 400
pounds, and when matured, they pro-
duce the finest wool in market, which
Is used for making delaines and sim
liar fine fabrics. They yield from four
teen to twenty pounds each at a shear
Ing. Specimens of this wool, Is inches
long, and fine as silk, are now In Mr..
Osborn's possession, which can be seen
by all interested in such matters.
Such an item as this We take infinite
pleasure in recording, for it shadows
forth what may n day become one of
the principal sources Of prosperity for
our young aud thriving State. Our
sage brush hills are not half so sterile
as they look, and sheep thrive espe-
cially well among them, finding plenty
Of nutritious bunch grass, white sage,
wild peach and other herbs and shrubs,
OH which they feed and browse, keep
ing In good condition the year round.
We hope to record Osborn's triumph
ant success In his sheep raising and
wool growing enterprise at some future
day, and also to hear Of others going
and doing likewise.
FuRNITURE.-Recollect that money
saved is just exactly as good as money
earned. This idea may we'll be appre-
GATED by those who had their houses
destroyed by the recent great fires in
Gold Hill and Dayton, and who are
now engaged in rebuilding and refur-
nishing the same. By reading the adj
vertisement Of the San Francisco
Auction Store, No. 20 South Z street.
| Virginia, Wilson Il Brown, proprle-
tors, they will understand where and
how they can save much acceptable
coin in their purchases of flrni-
ture, bedding, carpets, etc. Their stock
Is very extensive and excellent to
select from, and they claim to sell
cheaper than any other house in this
State can or will.
LADY BRYAN BANKRUPr.-The once
famous Lady Bryan mine, in Flowery
District, has fallen into an abject state
of adversely, judging from the notice
in bankruptcy published In our adver-
Using columns to-day. 1t Is something
quite novel to read about a mine full
Of bullion thus taking advantage Of
the bankrupt law to shuttle off its
mortal liabilities. Perhaps, however,
this may prove n glorious good thing
for the Lady Bryan, and when rid Of
all its impeding Indebtedness 1t may,
under new management, be brought
out as a paying mine.
For DISTRICT ArToRNEY.-J. A. Ste
phens is duly announced In u adver-
Using columns to-day as a candidate

the citizens Of Gold Hill and Virginia
as a man possessed Of the requisite de-
gree Of capability and moral integrity
for filling this important Office, and, If
elected, all know that he will fill 1t
creditably.
