LltASD ilCIE ENpDoS. ~ c'Lis
dawn to-day the Piutes of the COM
stock range, for miles north and south,
commenced cmigratirs-sGuaws, bucks
and pappooscs - together with their
ponies and all their household goods,
their destination being Walker river,
all going by way of SiN-mile Canyon
and Fort Churchill. The bucks rode
tho ponies, and the squaws packed the
furniture, bedding. grub, cooking
traps, pappooSes and other light bag
gage. The young s1uawS II boys
carried no loads, but only had TO walk.
II is astonishing what loads sowe OF
these old squaws cal pack. We saw
several of the oldest, blear-eyed, dried
up, raisin-faced, Piute SrandmotherS
trudging r~esolutcly along with huge
load-, such AS wonld have made Il Chi
maman's donkey die of envy. The
reason Of this, we suppose, Is that tho
Older n squaw gets the more furniture
and bedding wealth she accumulates
about her, while the younger ones,
not having been ut housekeeping SO
!ouy, have correspondingly loss to
pack about when the moving time
comes. AS we understand 1t, the
reason of the present exodus Is the
unusual amount of snow and stormy
weather, scarcity of wood, and 4 de-
sire 10 seek n more genial cline. The
flshin. Ia Walker river Is good now,
which doubtless is a considerable ad-
ditional inducoment TO emigration.
BOILER MISUNDERSTANDING on
the above subject being Of peculiar In
tcrcst In this region, we will state that
from 4 recent discussion and inter-
change of views upon the incrustatlon
of boilers, by many Of the master me-
chanics of the railroads throughout
the country, rs we learn from the
.hncricQH .NWEfdctUFeT, 1t was very
generally asserted that the best method
Of keeping boilers clean Is TO wash
them out once 4 wcek-not blow them
oil, as the heat required for this pur-
pose hardcns the paste deposit and
forms the scale, whereas if boilers
were washed ont after cooling, with
water in them, this paste can DO al-
most entirely removed. The testimony
OF some parties who practice this plan
seems to show that boilers can DC so
used for many years without being
troubled with scale. IL was found that
many parties practice the removal n
renewal oftubcs. In locomotive boi!orS,
qu!tc frequently to remedy the scale
difficulty, and that the blowout effected
little else but the removal OF mud.
The washing process recommended,
seems like n rational and practical one.
No I~SvIrNrIoN BALL.--Wc arc de-
sired to state that the Leap Year ball
to be given by the Young Ladies So
cial Society of Cold Ilill, at Liberty
Engine Hall. Thursday evening. Is net
an invitation ball. ~ some seem to
understand it. No one, however,
could be mistaken in the matter II they
would only take q look at tho advcr-
tisemcnt, where It plainly says, "Ad.
mission, one dollar" Most OF the
susceptible and hopeful gents desiring
to attend, however, would doubtless
prefer TO be Mistaken.
