Periey,s ranch in the Steptoe Valley,
wnere ne already has some fine blooded
animals, including Durham bull of
hlgh-strain OF blood. He has added 40
acres to his enclosed ground, his entire
farm asgregating thousand acres.
Forty acres are in barley, which promises
good yield. 1t is gratifying to see such
interest manifested in the agricultural de-
velopment OF Southeastern Nevada, and
we hope Judge Perley's example will in
duce capitalists to embark in the same
branch OF enterprise. Though money
may be made faster in other pursuits, it
Is the safest and surest of all investments.
Drunk AND DIsoRDERLY.-Tlme has
failed, after long years Of experience, to
impress upon old "Uncle jim" the fact
that tarantula juice always "biteth like a
serpent and stingeth like an adder'-or,
II he has been sorrowfully impressed
with the fact, he has so far lost self-con-
troll that he insists on being bit and
stung, over and over. Yesterday he was
again on the rampage, challenging the
whole town to mortal combat, when he
wasn't able to walk straight enough to

omcial duty to cage Uncle jimmy" and
he will to-day say all he can in extenua.
ton OF his drunk and disorderly conduct
before Justice Stoutenburgh. "A quiet,
inofenslve man when not in liquor"
ANOTHER Bold LITTLE RoBBERY.-The
proprietress of a Main street lodging
house was surprised yesterday morning,
ON entering one of her rooms, to find that
one OF her transient dodgers had de-
camped, carrying with him all of the bed
he had been sleeping on over night except
one mattress and the bedstead. He had
paid for his lodging the night before, very
cneelfully, and retired early, to prepare
himself, doubtless, by good, long

the Floral Springs Water Company, ar
rived from Santa Clara county, California,
by Sundays coach, and will stay with us

FIRST FRUIT OF SOUTHEASTERN NJ.
NADA.-Mr. A. Leman, of Snake Valley,
his ranch being about hundred miles
north of Phoebe, is extensively engaged
in fruit raising, and will this summer be
able to exhibit the first apples and
peaches produced in Southeastern Ne
vada. The young fruit on some Of his
trees is maturing splendidly. These
bearing trees are three years old. He in
tends to greatly extend his orchard the
coming fall, being satisfied that fruit cul-
ture in this country can be made sue
cess. Mr.. l.. also has some fine straw
berry beds, and the berries are now ripen-
ing.
The beauty of mineral specimens from
Bristol district is generally remarked.
We were last evening shown ore of sur
passing attractiveness; on base of |
sparkling crystalized copper were yari-
colored lime crystalizations of great |
brilliancy. the formations being of inter.
esting and symmetrical shape. The
Bristol ores are eagerly sought for the
establishment of cabinets, and we are
inclined to believe it would pay to ship
them, to be disposed Of for that express
purpose.
A THEORY BUSTED. Yesterday we
overheard a couple of homemade savants
discussing the cause of the saline char
acter of the water in Great Salt Lake. !
Said one, well, it's my opinion that
there's an underground connection with
the Pacific ocean, and it's filed with
water from the Pacific But" said
the other, salt Lake is 1000 feet high'r
n the ocean; what do you think of that"
''Think of it? why think it bursts my
theory all to h-ll!'
BRISTOL DIsTRIcT.-The smelling fur
mace has shut down for want of ore; and,
correspondent says, lore is not taken
out because San Francisco men choose
to play the dog in the manager. >" There
seems to be no doubt of the richness of
the Bristol ores. II freeze out game"
is being played, we hope the instigators
will come out of it so affected in reputa-
ton as business men that they will never
again be able to figure in mining enter
prises.
DEPARTURE of A. B. O'DoUaHERTY.-I
Mr.. A. B. O'Dougherty departs on this
mornings stage for Fillmore and Salt
Lake on important business. He may
visit the kanarra coal mines before he
returns. John O'Dougherty, Mr.. A. B.
brother, is operating very extensively in
the Sewer country. and We have heard it
intimated that the latter's trip is con-
nected with important local enterprises
about to be inaugurated.
