Superintendent D. L. Gilmore in
forms US that the mill belonging to his
company will soon be ready Tor action,
having been nearly completed. The
first run will be made upon the ores OF
the mines belonging to the company,
and splendid results are anticipated,
the rock being Of high grade. A suc-
cessful run Of this fine mill Will rem
dor the future of Robinson District
certain beyond the possibility OF u
doubt, and cause all Increase OF popr-
lation and add to the circulating Of
coin, an article sadly needed there
now. Mr.. Gilmore Informs us that Mr..
Hitchcock Is making an elegant JOB OF
the mill, and that, when completed, 1t
will prove as reliable and efficient rs
any on the coast.
The tailings mill. located In Sher-
mantown and owned by j. b. Osborne,
has been sold to the Eberhardt & Au-
rora Company at Eberhardt, and will
continue to be worked under their ad.
ministration, The property Is oer-
tainly one of the most valuable In
Eastern Nevada, and will be a remun-
eratiye Institution to Its present own
ers. Mr.. Osborne, informs us that In
q run of fourteen days 5000 In bull
lion has been extracted and shipped.
This Is certainly good showing, and
one which Ia argumentative Of the
profitable returns OF the property.
Dan Morris has started a line of
stages from here to Troy, and now
makes weekly trips. From him we
learn that the magnificent mill Of the
Troy Silver Mining Company has
started up on ores belonging TO tho
company, and the prospects are fiat
tering for a long and remuneratlve
run. In our View It is only a question
of time when this property becomes,

ent Davis Is a man Of energy and prac-
tical knowledge as a miner, and will

Tho Inmates Of Mrs. Troxler's lodg-
ing house, on Commercial street, were
suddenly aroused before daylight last
Monday morning, by the report OF q
fre-arm discharged In one OF the
sleeping apartments Of the house, and
the alarm was augmented by the dis
coyery that a ledger named Allender
had been struck In the back OF the
neck by a bullet aud severely wound
ed. Ii was found that G. +. Grafton,
the occupant of the room adjoining
that OF the wounded man. had been
attempting to crafty a morbid curios-
ity regarding the intricate construc-
ton OF q big pistol-or mountain how
itzer-that had lately come into his
possession, by pulling back the ham,
mer and looking down the ~touch-hole.
Whilst thus lsudably engaged In the
pursuit Of knowledge, the ordnance
was discharged, the ball passing
through the partition which divides
the rooms, striking Allender as stated,
lust missing the jugular vein. The
wounded man was carried to the Coun-
ty Hospital and has received every at
tention from Dr. Meiga County Ply
sician.
The ground selected by tho author
lied committee as the site Of the State
University buildings, Is the plateau In
the northwest portion Of the city linn
its. The location Is a good one |; the
ground being upland will furnish a
much more substantial foundation Tor
a heavy building than could be OBJ
talned on the bottom land upon which
a greater portion Of the town 10 built.
It has also been fully demonstrated
that sage land Is better adapted to the
growth Of trees and shrubbery, such as
should adorn the grounds surrounding
an institution Of this %chaIacter, than
the cold grounds Of the bottoms. The
plans and drawings Of the buildings
are now in the hands Of the committee,
and should 1t be built In accordance
with the design shown us, 1t will be
much the handsomest building IN East
ern Nevada.
We learn that the Cosmopolitan Ho.
tel has been purchased from j. Treat,
its former owner, and will, OIL tho 18TH
instant, be closed tor repairs. 1t Is the
intention Of the present owners To
overhaul the entire building BY the Isl
Of October, when 1t will DO opened tc

An ARRAY occurred last evening, In

of a game OF cards allied with a super
abundance Of whisky. 1t appears that

minated In the shooting OF Grant ny
Sylvester. The bullet from Sylvester's
pistol, a derringer, entered the lower
part Of Grants left jaw, SCATTERING
about threc-fourths OF tho bone In q
dreadful manner. 1t Is the opinion Of
DR.. Wixom that Grant either swal-
lowed the ball or spit it out, as he was
unable to find any traces OF its course
further than n slight abrasion OF the
roots Of the tongue. The doctor does
not consider that there Is any lmme-
diate danger of n fatal result but the
wound Is OF a very painful nature.

Durability Of Matter.

Let US dissolve a gralnme OF resin In

then pour the clear solution Into a
large flask full OF pure water. and
shake It briskly. The resin Is preclp-
itated In the form Of an lmpalpaole
and Invisible powder. which does not
perceptibly cloud the fluid. II, now,

flask, and let the light strike 1t either

pears sky blue. Yet, II this mixture
of water and alcohol, filled with res.
luous dust, IL examined with the

quantity OF this gus In a receiver,

and sends a bright ray Of light through
It. At first nothing Is visible. But
very soon, In the path Of tho lumin-

color. 1t Is because the gas Is decom-
posed by the luminous waves, and the
invisible particles of sulphur, set free,
decompose tho light In turn. The blue

produced. The particles composing
this cloud are still, each by itself, in-
