of .'plumed warriors of the desert"
with spears and other savage toggery,
mounted on their frey untamed mus
tangs, and chasing n small drove Of
cattle which they have apparently
run OF from some emigrant train. An
Indian campoody, or village, Is to be
seen on the plain, q mile or two of,
and in the far distance is q blue noun
tain range which might border the
Platte river. The picture Is q very
creditable one, and attracts consider
able attention. crowds Of Piutes fire.

street to discuss Its various merits
with animated interest. Rather a pc
culiar sign is to be seen over Nh office
door farther south on the sane street.
II is half rs broad as it is long, is gild-
ed most all over instead of painted,
and narrow, queer styled big letters
on it read, "Winsong, Chinese Physi-
gian." \ little blue codicil, like 4
postage stamp stuck OH one corner,
says "Cure all Desies," while a SIM
liar one on the opposite corner por-
trays a sort of gypsy hat looking ar
rangement which certain straddle-bug
looking Chinese characters probably
describe to be an apothecary's mortar.
HEAVY CASTING. - The Gold Hill
Foundry, conducted by Taylor & 20.
rs n cooperative association, is capa-
Bile of turning out immense castings

dry in the State of Nevada. The half

mating pans flor which he has recently
received n patent) passed the NEWS
| office at noon to-day, from this foundry,
OH its way to SiS-mile Canyon, to
Parks mill, and its weight was $3.50
hounds. This was the smallest half OF

seventy-iive pounds-the muller, cor

BUYING OFF OProsrTIoN.-The story
that tho managers of the Gold Hill
lottery propose buying up the tickets
in all the other lotteries on the coast,
in order to squelch opposition and have
the whole field to themselves, Is a pure
malicious fabrication, gotten up for
effect by the other lottery companies.

rate, being eagerly sought for and p9r-
chased at par. There VIII be no raise
In the price Of them just at present.
