INDEPENDENCE VALLEY ORE. Mr.. ]. F.
Ford who last week showed us some rich ore
from Independence, since called upon us and
gave US the results Of the assays of four differ.
ent parcels, as follows: 1907 80; Sis rs;
SIS IL; Sl20 Al. This ore was obtained from
Grand junction district, which comprises a
portion OF Independence valley. This district
is in the portion of country recently added to
Elko county, and Is destined 10 be IA rich and
prosperous mining locality. 1t is about TWEEN
ty miles this side of Bull Run and eight miles
to the north of Tuscarora. Next week we in
tend 10 give short account Of Independence
valley and its mining and agricultural re-
sources.
SHEEP RIsISG.-A correspondent, who has
an eye to business, suggests that it would be
we'll for farmers generally to keep small
hocks of sheep in connection with their other
stock. He says that sheep kept in this way
are healthier than when in large droves, and
that their keeping involves very little ex-
pense or trouble. Sheep thus kept always
command high price and their wool is cleaner
and better than when they run in large bands
Farmers in the East would rs soon think of
being without their horses and COWS as 10
carry on their farms without thirty or forty
sheep. We suggest that farmers in this sec
ton Of Nevada, where circumstances will adj
init, try the experiment.
An exchange says Mrs. Gardner, in a letter
to an Indiana paper, makes the declaration that
women carry n concealed weapon that can, if
properly used, "sway the destinies Of all man
kind" Mrs. G.. neglected to name the thing,
but probably means u woman's tongue. This
brnzen-faced woman deserves a pounding for
thus yillifying her sex. Thank fortune. the
law against carrying concealed weapons was
repealed by the last Legislature, so there is no
danger OF its 'swaying the destinies Of man.
kind to any unusual extent here in Nevada.
CoSFIEMED.-In the Supreme Court, in the
case Of CSPles vs. Central Pncifc Railroad
Company, the Court confirmed the verdict rem
dcred III the Court belOw-thc Court Of this
District. CAples receives IS, 900 and costs. In
this case the Sheriis costs amounted to $40;
they would have amounted to some 800, but
the papers, etc., being attended To by tho at
torneys interested, the Sheriff was cut down
TO the amount named. by the law enacted by
the last Legislature. however, no papers here
after can be served by any party but the Sher-
i'll or his deputies; which IL az il should be.
