the travelling public unless it possesses
good hotel accommodations. When We
speak of hotel, we mean n structure of
commanding appearance, and with accom-
modations such as will leave the faded
traveller nothing to seek after when once
he alights from the coach on his arrival.
After weary ride of two or three DAYS
by stage, the passenger first requires
something of a stimulating nature to
revive his dropping energies he requires
food to recuperate his enfeebled frame :;
he requires good cigar after dinner to
soothe him and make the after-dinner
hour pass pleasantly he requires also
comfortable quarters, spacious and well
ventilated rooms, where he may entertain
his friends and visitors, and when the
labors of the day are DER he requires n
comfortable bed, where " natures sweet
restorer y may afford him that rest so
essential to proper prosecution of the
labors OF the day following. The APP
pearance of good hotel cannot fail TO
give the newcomer n favorable impress
sion of the town. But, unfortunately,
Pioche does not possess such hotel as

friend, or in sheer despair implore some
stranger to inform him where food and

Will not starve or be compelled to take

restaurants the wants of tho inner man
are amply provided for, and comfortable
lodgings are to be found in many places
in town. But what we complain of is
that there is no hotel in its broadest.

or two persons with the energy and the
necessary capital to build a first-class
hotel, then perhaps joint stock COM
pany might be formed for the purpose of
erecting hotel to accommodate the trav-
cling public. Who speaks first
PERsoNAL.-Mr. II. J. Mann, well
known as an engineer and mill man in
Virginia, White Pine and other places in
Nevada, arrived from Wallapai few
days since, and purposes remaining in
Phoebe. Last winter he went to Walla.
pal, where he found that the ore was
being worked wet, with very small re.
turns. Owing to the presence Of base
metals, not exceeding 40 per cent. was
obtained, and sometimes not over 20 DE,
cent. The mill was then changed to a
dry crusher, with two reverberatory fur.
naces, by which means from 60 to IS per
cent. of the pulp assay was obtained.
Seventy tons had been crushed in guam
titles OF five tons or less from different
mines, and the results showed from
$50 to $500 per ton. The mill was run
ming on rock from the Rosebud mine
when Mr.. Mann left, and he thinks it
will turn out 5000 to the ton. A 10
stamp mill, with Stedefeldt furnace, is
much needed in the Wallapai District
A 5-stamp is yielding handsome return
on the capital invested, and with an
increase in the number of stamps there
can be no doubt that the yield OF bullion
would be much greater, without mate
rally adding to the expense OF working
the ores.
DOMESTIC IMPLICITLY. - Night before
last, while vending our weary way to our
lodgings, the stiffness of the night was
disturbed by the shrek of a woman. We
thought little of the matter at the time,
but yesterday learned that a man and
wife having had some difficulty, the
wife went to the house of neighbor
the husband followed. Finally an Officer
was called, and he went to the house
finding the door closed and the inmate,
refusing to open it, he burst it open
arrested the husband and lodged him il
Jail. Yesterday he was prevailed upor
by interceding friends to plead guilty
which he did. and nominal fine wa,
levied upon him.

tune recently to lose one of his feet. H,
