SPECULATION BUSTED. Six thou
sand pounds of salt pork, purchased in
the East by the General Government to
fill the orders of the politico-religious
Indian Agent OF the Shoshone and Piute
tribes, was yesterday sold at auction to
pay the freight charg on it. OF course
the Indians could have had no use for it;
it might have been exchanged for sugar,
which they they would have appreciated.
This pork, like the fimsy blankets be-
fore referred to by us, was directed to
sc. r. Cobleigh, Phoebe Now, where
is "Cobleigh?" "Cobleigh" was the
assignee; the pork was not directed to
any agent of the General Government,
and Of course "Cobeigh" is the man
who must proceed against the freighter.
We congratulate the agent on the loss
falling on the Phoebe assignee-on the
pork having bean sacrificed in Sob
leigh's" hands before it was delivered to
the Government Now, who will make
up the loss of that 5000 pounds of pork
to the Indians?
DEATH OF DR.. G. G. FoLTz.---Dr.
Charles g. Foltz, native of Speier, Ba-
varia, and former resident of Phoebe,
died in San Francisco on the 18th inst,
Of liver affection, aged SO years. DR..
Fotz left this city for San Francisco, on
account of failing health, about three
months ago. At the time of his depar-
ture he was County Physician, and re-
signed the position to make the trip.
His loss is deeply mourned here. A pri-
vate letter in regard to the sad event says
HE has had the best of care and attend
ance; but his case was hopeless. The
post mortem eXaminato on revealed the
presence of three assesses in the liver,
besides the original one, which had com,
pletely healed. He showed the greatest
fortitude throughout, and passed off
without struggle"
ANOTHER NEVADA INvENTIoN-PATENT
GRANTED. Alexander D. Rock, now of
Bristol district, this county, formerly of
Hamilton, White Pine, has been granted
patent for an improved railroad track.
1t consists of bearing pieces of peculiar
| form, on which the rails lie,
joined by jointed rod with tran
verse braces By means of this in
vention the bed is kept steady and firm
on loose, sandy or soft ground. The
whole is of cast-iron, very simple in con-
struction, and held together by screws.
1t is road-bed and track superior for
permanency and cheapness, and is not
liable to get out of repair. 1t promises
to supersede the present mode of track
construction.
Discovery OF ASBESTOS. Some pros.
pectors from Washington county, Utah,
report the discovery of asbestos in con-
siderable quantities between the Meadow
Valley Wash and the Santa Clara river,
about hundred miles southeast of here
that is, we think it is asbestos, from
the description given. Asbestos is much
used in the manufacture of tire-proof
house roofs, and gloves and cloths made
OF it are capable of resisting the action
of fire. It is cheap and abundant
If we have asbestos deposits they vii
be unavailable as source Of wealth
until railroad communication is con-
summated.
