human leg. The tibias and knee-ioints
seem well defined; but they are great
deal larger than the same class of bones
belonging to the human species of this
day and generation. Are they the re-
mains of post-tertiary men?-that's the
question. And were there giants in those
days, if they do belong to predecessors
of the present races of mankind? The
considerate friend who sends us these
curlons relics-himsrlf something Of a

Ed. RECORD: While excavating a bank
in therear of the foundry the accompany
ing bones were found, eight feet below
the 0face. An impromptu Geological
Society was Immediately formed, to COM
ment on and determine the probable pc
Rod, gender and class Of the mamalia or
mollusk. or whether they belonged to
the Darwlnian, Silnrian or Pliocene
Era. Professor McElroy, with a pro-
found archaeological opinion, said Mar

the early laborers ON the road Prof.
Sinclair says, 'gopher-holes filled with
calcerous deposit, or carboniferous de-
glutinizaton, and with this profound
opinion all happy theories and hopes of
future notoriety as successors of OAR

MARRIED. = Yesterday afternoon, in
this city, Judge Fuller officiating, wm
7. Rich. proprietor of Rich's Hotel, in
Bullionville, and Miss Mariah b. Atch-
inson, of Panaca, were united in the
holy bonds of matrimony. The happy
couple, accompanied by few personal
friends, returned to Bullionville soon
after the ceremony. The printers were
generously remembered. In clouds of
smoke from fragrant Havanas our old
bachelor typos click the type together
sullenly, as if they "were out OF luck, +"
compared with some folks, while the
| younger of them seem animated with
pleasing anticipations of some kind;
such are the effects of the happy event
on the RECORD corps. May the future
paths OF the happy couple be flower
strewn and tranquil.
Coal VS.. WooD FOR FUEL. The follow
ing, taken from the Salt Lake Evening
News of the Goth, would seem to imply
that we are about through buying, at ex-
orbitant rates, cedar-knots to run our
machinery and keep ourselves warm

lent specimens of coal from the coal
mines at or near Kanarra. The deposits
are exceedingly extensive, there being
one vein of twenty feet and another Just
under it twelve feet in thickness. One
great advantage claimed for this coal is
the readiness with which it can be coked.
The mine is owned by company who
purpose at once going into the business
OF converting the coal into coke and sup
plying Phoebe and other markets with
that article. The mine is situated eighty
miles from Pioche.''
Observation-Disclosures animated game
of football took place on Main street
yesterday afternoon. Fine exercise
good for making the shins tough-good
Tor the shoe makers-good for GLACIERS;
but it has its drawbacks: it's bad for
business men who have windows broken
bad for lady promenaders, who are
compelled to find their way along back
streets, to avoid the crowd-bad forteam-
sters with wild horses, in short, a NUS
ance to everybody but those engaged in
the game. Organize clubs, boys, and
exercise in some vacant lot in the sub.
urbs. But may be the fun principally
consists in smashing windows and caus-
ing runaways; if that's so our suggestion
is not worth a cent
ASSESSOR OF NYE COUNTY. We yester-
day had the pleasure of meeting and
forming the acquaintance of Mr.. I. +.
Morgan, Assessor of Nye county, who,
his official duties calling him nearly to
Phoebe, has come little ont of hi, way
to personally inspect the richest silver
mines i'll the world. He expresses the
opinion, after personal observation, that
they have not been over-estimated. From
here he goes to Spring Valley and Bris-
tol to assess for the Nve county treasury
property which ought to be in Lincoln
county Mr. Morgan is an old pioneer
of the Silver State, and has met many
old friends in this district.
MoREY DISTRICT. This mining camp
is in Nye county, northwest of and about
one hundred miles distant from Phoebe.
1t is al old district, which had progressed
slowly, owing to the difficulty in getting
capital introduced; but it seems, at last,
to be getting out of the woods" A fine
l0-stamp mill is being erected, and the
/ ledge-owners are sanguine of immediate
success. The ores are 80 rich that they
have been prottably shipped to Austin
for reduction for several years.
Mr.. CULyERwELL's advertisement will
show what he promises to do in the milk
line; and he has the reputation of max
ing MS promises good. Like an enter
prising citizen, he feels great interest in
| the success of the new water company,
but we are confident that has no con.
nee ion with his milk enterprise. He
keeps SO many fine American cows in his
| dairy that adulteration is unnecessary.
AN ERRoR.--We were in error in saying
the fellow convicted of whipping his
gray-haired mother at Bullionville was
sentenced to 80 days in the county Jail.
The term of his Imprisonment is $50
days; and we shall be gratitied if we hear
that this is an error, and that still an
other hundred should be added.
HoT CREEK District. This mining
district, famous in 1868, then Boosting
two mills, is now abandoned as a mining
camp; but the agricultural interests
thereabouts have become important.
Hot Creek is thirty-five miles this side of
Belmont.
INCREASE OF LIVE SrocK.-Mr. Morgan,
Assessor of Nye county, informs us that
the assessment rolls OF this year show a
large increase in live stock in that county
