From the RECORD OF March ISL
At last the great water project Of
General Connor has been achieved.
The working and laying of the piping
has been under tho direct supervision
of Mr.. 2. L. Shoaff, a, gentleman who
has had much experience In the con-
struction Of different water works on
this coast. There are nine miles of
piping laid, which took ten months to
complete. At this end of the works a
tank has been built by Mr.. A. De Kay,
IL By 10 feet, with q depth ofa6 feet,
calculated to hold $4,000 gallons Of
water. At present there are 10000
gallons in the tank, and superintendent
Shoaif states that with the amount Of
water now in the reservoir there is no
possibility Of the town getting short
of u supply, no matter what might
occur. He has also Q Of increas-
ing and diminishing the force Of water
at pleasure. General Conner proposes
to sell water ut two and n half cents
per gallon, which will be quite an
item to many, and our citizens will be
able to indulge in the luxury of a
morning bath occasionally, which here
tofore those with limited means could
not do.
Yesterday morning a dog formerly
belonging to John J. Monahan fol-
lowed Superintendent Thompson
Campbell to the Newton Booth mine.
Tho dog was naturally very playful,
and upon entering the door leading to
the shaft attempted to jump over q
wheelbarrow standing neal the en-
trance, and was thrown down the shat.
$50 feet deep. The men below heard
the noise OF the dog descending, and
ran into the drift. Very fortunately
for Mr.. Campbell, he was compelled
to give some orders to the men on top
before going Into the mine. otherwise
he probably would have met a most
horrible death. r. on
On Saturday morning last Deputy
Sheriff John Mccall brought two men
from Dry Valley. charged with robbing
the Meadow Valley mill Of a sack con-
taiuing los pounds Of bullion. The
name of one of the parties we failed
TO learn that of the other is E. Way.
They were placed in durance vile, and
have since been held to bail in $1,000
pncll. ".. ..I.#. "

4, JEFFERSON CANYoN.-We are told
by a gentleman recently from there
that rich strikes are continually being
made Mt and In tho vicinity of Jeffer-
son Canyon. Exceedingly rich ore
has been found In the johnson, Prus-
sian, Sailor Boy, Sunset and other
lodges. An assay recently made from
q piece Of ore from the johnson went
over $ls, 600 per ton In silver, and 1920
In gold Of course it was a picked
specimen, but we understand that the
average Is very high, very little of the
ore running under 800. The hedges
are from six inches to three feet thick,
and rs far rs they have been prospect
ed, which Is about thirty feet from the
surface, are exceedingly we'll defined.
Appearances indicate that they will
continue so to a considerable depth. in
which case Jefferson Canyon will soon
be an important mining polnt.-Reese

The SIGNAL SERvIcE.-A few weeks
ago the utility Of. the Signal Service
was questioned In Congress. In re-
Spouse the Gloucester tMass.) Adrer-
.iser remarks:
Not long since on q perfectly calm
day, with q clear sky, about fifty vcs-
sells were seen lying at anchor IN one
Of our harbors, on account OF a coming
storm predicted by the weather bu-
reau. How many lives were saved BY
this single prediction, 1t Is impossible
to say, but one such occurrence alone
Is sufficient to justify all the expense
the Government has incurred in estab-
fishing and maintaining the service.
1t has been clearly shown that, il we
had had cable communication wish the
Island of St. Thomas, and n signal sta
ton there, we should have known OF
the cyclones recent visit to the Florl-
ia coast three days In advance of its
coming, and most of the vessels which
encountered it would have taken ref
uge in time In some harbor. The ser
vice as it is already organized, is Of in-
calculable advantage to farmers and
se~afarers.

FoRDEs, of the White Pine Ne'cs,
started the Humboldt Register at Union
Vile in May, 1868, and in answer to
un inquiry Ct the Enterprise relating
to the respective claims of the Register
and Rereilis to seniority, says:
Our files are in California, so that
we cannot give the date of the initial
number of the Register, but it Is ante
rior to that of the Rereile. An effort
was made to direct the material TO
Austin while on the way to Unionville.
The first number of the Register was
issued early In May, 1868. But, for
all that, the Rereiiie is right; it holds
the place 1t claims. The paper now
published In Winnemucca has no sort
Of connection with that started in
1863. 4 hiatus occurred between the
suspension of the one and the incom-
ing of the other, and the only sign OF
continuity Is the appropriation of an
electrotype heading belonging to the
Unionville paper.

SOMEBODY, who evidently ":.knows
how it Is himself" promulgates the
following:
1t is a delicious moment, certainly,
that of being we'll nestled in bed, and
feeling that you will drop gently to
sleep. The good Is to come-not past;
the limbs have been just tried enough
to render the remaining In one posi-
ton delightful; the labor Of the day is
done. A gentle failure of the percep-
tions comes creeping OH ; the spirit Of
consciousness dlseugages itself more
and more with slow aud hushing de-
grees, like q mother detaching her
hand from that OF her sleeping child;
tho mind seems to have a balmy lid
closing over 1t, like the eye tits Gloss
ing, It's closing-'tis closed. The mys-
terious spirit has gone to take Its
rounds.

DEAD BODY FoUND.-YeSterday says
the Eureka Sentinel Of Saturday. while
two men, who had been working upon
the road, were resting at noon, they
discovered a frying pan near them.
Although not exactly Of the consisten.
cy Of ''float" rock. even though Pro-
lessor John K. Murphy might have
called it so. they discovered n dead
body by following this 'lead." The
body alarmed the men so that they i'm
mediately came to town and reported
the case to Deputy Sheriff Van AL
slime, who, in company with Mr.. Sea-
ton, visited the spot. Upon removing
the covering, apparently Of canvas, a
view Of partially decomposed human
body was disclosed, which. from rem
nants of calico, ETC., around the spot,
probably was that Of an Indian squaw.
As another body, placed similarly to
this one, was found q short time ago
near this same place, it is supposed the
Indians had placed 1t there after death.
