The White Pine news. [volume] (Treasure City, Nev.) 1868-1906, 1873-03-08

A Coon MovE.-After the Bank Of California
closed its business here. merchants and others
were left entirely destitute of means to effect
transfers of money except by sending coin. This
hardship will soon be remedied, as we are In
formed that a banking association has been
formed, and will soon be In successful operation
at the place formerly occupied by the Bank Of
California. Certainly this was a much needed
move, and one which our people will appreciate.
The gentlemen composing the association are
among our heaviest capitalists, and the enter
prise cannot but prove remunerative in the high
est degree. A mistaken impression seems to pre-
vail among outsiders regarding the amount Of
monied transactions now going on in White Pine.
The large companies operating ON Treasure Hill,
Eberhardt, Robinson, and Schell Creek, are all
employing more or less men, and disburse con-
siderable amounts Of coin monthly. Then we
have ranchers, stock men, and a large population
of merchants and business men generally, who
are continually turning money by transfer, trade,
etc. That we need u bank, has been shown by
the promptness with which the association was
formed. Az soon as 1t is In successful operation
we shall publish the names Of those interested
and advertise their business.

UNCLE DAs.-Travelers over Woodruff 4
Ennor's road, between here and Eureka, will
remember Uncle Dan Arbour, who keeps the
station at Maryland Wells. To those who are
not acquainted with the aforesaid, we will say
substantial, solid meals that at Uncle Dams.
Every guest is greeted with . smile and always
made welcome here, and no Introduction Is ever
necessary. The host is not a strict temperance
man, but on the contrary has a well-stocked bar,
with " fourteen different kinds Of bitters." We
have passed many a jolly hour at Uncle Dams.
and can commend him to the patronage Of all
going his way.
FRozEN TO DEATH From Mr.. williamson, a
gentleman just in from Steptoe Valley, we learn
that David Bothwiek was frozen to death, at
the head of Butte Valley. In the Egan range Of
mountains. This sad occurrence TRANSFERRED
about two weeks ago, and the circumstances are
as follows Deceased left his home In search OF
stock. and, during the heavy snow storm, lost
his way. A dog which accompanied aim was
also found frozen stiff by the side OF his master.
II 10 said the Thermometer stood Ii degrees be-
low zero, and many cattle were also frozen in
the same locality. Mr.. Bothwick was we'll
known here. where he has 3 brother.
EBERHARDr AND rrs suRRousDIsGs.-Since the
unfortunate burning of. the splendid 6O-stamp
mill at that place. but little activity has been
Stanford mill started up ON ore from the English
e~onpany's mines, and will be run steadily from
this date. The tramwAy IL in excellent order,
and a constant supply Of ore is continually pass
ing between mines and mill. II In riimored that
\ new mill will be erected on the SIGHT formerly
occupied 10y the English company. which fact
will add much to the prospects Of that section.
A FINE SrocK.-A visit to p. Steler's hne
jewelry establishment reveals the fact that no
cause for complaint can be found by the most
fastidious, either rs regards the extent Of or
taste displayed In selecting the stock. In an
item last week wa mentioned the removal OF Mr..
stcler, and Inadvertently spoke of his h wing
removed to the room above Coins clothing
store. We should have said store above COINS.
next TO corner of Hamilton street. A visit to
the establishment will we'll repay parties dcsir-
Gus Of purchasing Jewelry.
A MATTER or ISrEREsr.-In accord with the
mining law made by Congress, all mines and min
ing locations must have q specified amount OF
work done upon them before the 10th day Of next
May, or else they viii be considered M aban-
doned and subject to relocation. As there are
many valuable properties around and about
White Pine, 1t behooyes the owners to stir them
selves and do the requisite amount Of labor upon
them, which Is of small amount, either pecuni-
arily or otherwise.
ALMOST A RusAwAY.-On Wednesday last two
spirited horses attached to q sleigh, going down
Main street. took fright and were making a clean
sweep. having deposited the occupants. a gentle
man and lady, together with robes. cushions,
etc, in n snowbank near at hand, when our
friend Steve keogh, at imminent peril 10 his

currenee was of such short duration That but
few people witnessed the brave deed.

attention TO the new advertisements in .to-day's

our friends must take the will for the deed. with
the additional assurance that we shall always
take pleasure in making allusionB from time TO
time of those various branches Of business. one
thing il made apparent by this rush Of adver.
tising, and that IL the fact of the peoples faith
in our future.
