this morning, one or more China
men broke into the grocery and
fruit store Of L. II. McGurn, l16

$50 or $50 worth of goods, chiefly
pocket cutlery. The building was
entered 10y removing from a sash
door in front two large panes of
glass. In doing this, or in getting
in, the Chinaman must have cut
his hand or arm severely, as he
"bled like a stuck pig"

A. +. WHITE, eX-Mineralogist
of this State, returned from the
Sandwich Islands about q month
since, after q soiourn there of
some three months in search Of
health. Recently he has been
looking at some mines in the east
ern part of this State. He was in
Humboldt and White Pine coun-
ties last week, and passed through
Carson few days since on his re-
turn to his home in San LeandrO,
California. The White Pine Nears
says he took look at the Eagle
mine in Indian District, and is to
make a report to a San Francisco
company now negotiating for its

Sandwich Islands was not attain
ed; the health of himself and
wife not being as good there as
when residing in California and
Nevada.

From the Elko Independent, August 23.l
ALMOST everybody who has WIS.,
tied these mines, and returned, ap-
pears satisfied, but as must be eX-
nected, it is utterly impossible to
suit ali and occasionally you will
find n man who would not be sat
istied if he found mine that
would produce twenty dollar
pieces in an unlimited quanty,and
such a one has turned up IN the
delegation that went from Aus
tin. He returned and says ne
could see nothing there to amou, t
to ANYTHING, and he never knew
of so little merit exciting so much
comment and giving everybody
the fever. On the other mana,
where there is one man dissatls-
fed, there are twenty VINO are
highly elated at the prospect.
Nose Haynes has lumber on the
road to put up some buildings, ana
has ordered a fine stock OF liquors
