ScnELL CREEx.-This famous locality
bids fair to induce a grand rush Of for
tune hunters in chat direction during
tho coming season. It Is one OF the

vada, and will give n good account of
Itself before next Fall. The White
Pine Ne,cs of Friday says:
Schell Creek Is looming up for a
heavy hand in the Spring changes.
rho prices Of lots In Shelburn are
going up, and sales lively every

An interesting account of the dis
covery Of q new Moablte stone In the
ruins OF Medeba, fifteen miles north Of
Dibon, In the Holy Land, was pub
lished In the London Times Of January
18th, and has been quite extensively
copied in this country. 1t was claimed
that the stone bore very important
inscriptions, almost Identical In form
with the Sinaitic letters, and yielding
the following result: ave drove them
away-the people Of Ar Moab at the
marsh ground. There they made n
thank Offering to God their King; and
Jeshuren ~rejoiced as also Moses their
leader" A comparison Of these words
with Numbers xxi, 1915, 2l-20;
Joshua Kill, 0, Is, l6; will show
striking condolences, making 1t ap-
pear that "Ar Moab Mt the marsh
ground" is the same as the "city
which Is In the midst Of the river" or
on the delta formed BY the two rivers
which flow into the Arnon. Few
papers have noted that the Times Of
the next day published a statement
that the story Of this interesting relic
was a hoax. Such, however, Is tho
case.

DAsrNRDLY OUTRAoE.-The Grass
Valley Republican Of March 10th has
the annexed
On Friday night, David Rogers, a
miner, narrowly escaped death for
daring to state that he might use giant
powder. The circumstances of the out
rage are as follows: Rogers, who is a
~peaceable, industrious MINER, and has
worked ut the Eureka for years, was IN
DAVIS saloon at the time. VIM. Hoar,
who Is a miner, was there also, and in
the course of n conversation asked
Rogers if he was going to use giant
powder. Rodgers answered that he
would use giant powder If the rest Of
the shit did, or something to that
effect. Upon this, Hoar, who IL a tall,
powerful man, struck Rogers a trc-
mendous blow with the butt end Of a
billiard-cue on the head back OF the
ear, and laid the skull bare for about
two inches. Rogers bled p%rofusely.
The wound was found to be a severe
one, but will probably not prove fatal.
The deed was cold-blooded, murderous
and cowardly.

NEW STRlKEs.-The excitement re-
garding the new discoveries made In
the north part of White Pine Mluing
District, and about one mile from tho
city limits, Is undated. Rich specl-
mems Of ore are on exhibition from
the Silver Plate mine, showing rs rich
as any ore ever found In the district.
This mine Is in a formation Of slate
and limestone. with well-detlned foot
and hanging walls, showing a ledge
four and q half to six feet wide. In
every foot made ahead the ore i'm
proves. The mine has been self-sui-
tanning since operations first COM
menced. The ore at first was Of q low
grade, and from several crushings
made of ore obtained in sinking, the
owners realized about 81 per day
hardly enough to pay the expenses OF
provisions aud tools. A few days ago
the ore-body changed In character and
gradually increased In grade, now
showing n body Of ore that will work
$3.50 per ton ut the mill. Six neil are
employed at present, and about ten
tons of ore are extracted daily. Thore
are three owners In the location. Adj
Joining this location is the Silver Owl
Company. The location Is 600 feet In
length, owned by William N. Osborne
and others. The company Is sinking
a shaft on the ledge In ore of the sane
character as the Silver Plate worked
In at the same depth. The prospects
for finding rich ore at a greater depth
are good. The length of the mine Is
1000 feet. Next adjoining Is the Sill
yer Central, recently located. The
owners are sanguino Of finding a de-
posit Of ore equal to the Silver Plate.
A force of men will DO put OH imme-
diately.-Vhte Pine Ne,cS, March Sh.

EZRA MARSH, Of Newark, n. j., has
Just completed n black and gold hearse
for the use of the royalty in Havana
that probably excels any manufactured
in the world. The hearse has n full
sized oval frame and plate glass, the
body with round end with bent glass,
seat with movable hammer-cloth, the
exterior ornamented BY torches and
angels Of gold, surmounted BY six gold
urns Of artistic style. The lamps, hub
bands, whimletree-bands and all met
ais, including pole-trimmingS, were Of
orolde and plated with gold. The in
terror Is t~astefully upholstered in black,
white and gold. The mound is Of rose
wood and mahogany, and elahorately
mounted in gold. Inside curtains,
with spring fixtures, that shut the
coffin from view when required. The
order was for the best hearse that
could be built In the United States,
with no limit to cost, which was $4,000,
as it was to compete with one OF French
manufacture, rejected for the one above
described.

Position.

The remark OF Schurz In his last
speech In the debate on the sale of
arms, ~ shall not 60 over To the Dem
ocrats," ETC., occasioned the following
criticism of the Illinois Staats-Z eitung:
The explanation Is so far pleasing,
In that it shows that Schurz does not
like being used as q tool of the Demo-
Gratis, if he knows it. He expects either
a repetition of the campaign OF lsts,in
which the Democratic candidate, Cas-,
was defeated by the Wing, Taylor, be-
cause there was a liberal Democratic
candidate In the field-Van Buren-or
the nomination of Republican candl-
date by the Democracy. The last al
tentative does not depend upon the
will OF Schurz, Trumbull, Sumner Il
Co., but upon the will Of the Demo-
cratic party. When the latter nomin-
ates q Republican, say Judge Davis,
Schurz will have the opportunity Of
voting for a Republican, without 60
ing over to the Democrats. Then he
can contend that the Democrats went
owe to him. This would be like the
story Of the Prussian la~ndwehrman,
who explained how a whole company
of French went over to him and imme-
diately thereafter compelled him to 60
with them as they were so much
stronger than he. Judge Davis Is a
smart, and to our knowledge a brave
man ; he was a Republican Of Lin
coins school and may be so yet. But
that he, when elected by the Democ-
racy, and q few malcontents among the
Republicans, could become anything
but a Democratic President, is another
question. He Is not the first mar who
was mistaken in the idea that he could
alter the character of an hostile army
or organization by placing himself at
Its head. The administration OF the
United States Is, in spite of all liberal
barking about the military dictatorship
of Grant. not a monarchial one. 1t Is
the Republican party which elects this
administration, and has q majority in
Congress. 1t Is the party which ordains
the measures which the President must.
execute, and in most cases he cannot
even be Influenced by his personal
| wishes or fancies. You all know the
old query /: ''Why does a dog wag
his tail? Because 1t Is stronger, for if
the tail should be stronger than the
dog. tho tail would wag the dog"
There Is another thing to which we
wish to draw the attention of the pub
lie. Will the Democracy also nolnin-
ate q Republican for Vice President?
1t would certainly be n Democrat, and
one could not be elected without the
other. Who would guarantee that the
President would live up to the 4th Of
March, 1877? Already three Presi-
dents have died while IN office, and
their death caused q political revolu-
ton. Who wishes to repeat the expo
| rience of those times?

NEW MILL.-Jones & Leinhain's
fvs-stamp mill, on Main street, has
started up on ore from the Scorpion
mine, situate in Secret Canyon. The
machinery thus far works to perfection
and the stamps crush the rock In splen-
did style. although 1t is Of the hardest
kind. The returns from the working
thus far, have resulted in giving pulp
assays rs high as 1915, and worked up

this mill in successful operation, and

ultimate success. We understand that

NOT FOR

Were it not for the astute percep-
tions of the renowned philosopher,
causing him to realize the discouraging
fact that General Grant has decidedly
the best chance for the next Presi-
dency, Horace Greeley would join
with avidity in the grand political
race for that office, as desired by his
numerous friends. The solid sagacity
of the great journalist and theoretical
farmer gives him to perceive that
Grant Is the greatest obstruction In his
way to the Presidential chair, there
fore he sets to work to remove him. If
possible, although his own chances to
succeed to that high office are no better
than those of George Francis Train,
and not half as good as those OF Judge
David Davis, the Labor Reform candl-
date. The friends of Horace who spoke
of him as a possible candidate, were
100 enthusiastic and sanguine alto
gether, and encouraged him detri-
mentally in the preposterous idea.
Horace has original ideas in the
farming line, and plenty Of them, ac-
cordingto the newspapers. His opinion
rs to the proper time to sow dried
apples, and his recommendation to
plant different kinds Of eggs in thor
oushly SUBSIDIZED ground, in order to
produce improved varieties Of the egg
plant, as we'll as his ideas on crossing
the bantam chicken with the ostrich,
instead of with the common turkey,
are all very creditable to him, as show
ing deep thought on "what he knows
about farming" but no will never have
occasion to write u book telling from
personal experience what he knows
about being President. Asa journalist,
farmer and philosopher he isa popu-
lar success, but the Presidency Is not
for Horace.
