The White Pine news. [volume] (Treasure City, Nev.) 1868-1906, 1873-02-01


since, a young man well known in town
and an expert on ice, received a call
that his talents were required in another
section of our common Country-possi-
bly, to give some new ideas to the sanity
crowd that gathers in Brigham's taber-
nacle : or seal unto himself a number of
wives in the Mormon city. B. it as ii
may, our young friend lost no time in
making preparations for the change; and
being well known and quite popular,
there was no lack Of protfers of pocket
pistols to cheer him on his way. But,
like the man who would not take a drink,
but would take another piece of ran
berry pie our friend would not take a
bottle, but he would take a box of ci-
gars;' and. had the numerous friends
who wished him well at parting. or who
proffered the little bitters, have acted on
his suggestions, the cigar market would
have been overstocked for the entire
season. Fortunately for the tobacco
dealers in Brigham's doninions, there
was but one friend Of our friend who
could see it, and that one only after Il
sigh that was worth the price Of a box of
cigars 10 hear.
EPSON SALrs.-A counterpart of the
coal oil ball-with the exception that no
charge was made for tickets-came off
here Thursday evening. A private but
very select party had gathered by invita-
ton at the house of some lady friends,
and were enjoying themselves hugely,
when, after partlking of n Widespread
supper. there were several who expert
enced most peculiar feelings in that part
Of the body to which one of orr most
learned medicos gives an outlanlish
name. As several were affected the same
way at the same time, il was snrinised
that by some accident poison had found
its way into their system; but before
medical aid could reach, the effects began
10 be apparent: and on examination it
was found that epson salts had been
used in both bread and pastry. More
than probable it is fortunate all around
that il happened, for the consequences
generally of night banquets are n severe
headache or something Of the sort the
next morning; but our friends had moth
ing of this. Their heads, consciences
and stomachs were all clear.
ALL FULL.-Eyery lodging house in
Hamilton is filed to repletion, and many
turned away to seek shelter aud n nights
rest as best they eau. Many people are
returning here from other places. Es-
peeiaily is it noticeable the number who
come this way from u neighboring town
Of Eureka. There is plenty OF room
here. and soon will be plenty of work for
n much larger number than are here Just
now. At this time of the year there APP
pear TO be some who regularly travel, not
knowing what to do; but, after roaming
sever the country some months, they
bring up again in old White Pine, which
Is more like home to them than any
other place.
LEFT AN IMpREssIoS.-A very sweet
but solid little angel, while doing some
extraordinary p%irouettes at the Rink, n
night or two since, made a miscalcula-
ton of distance and came down with
such force as to make an indention in
the ice. The place where the mishap
occurred was, during the rest of the eve
ming, held in the greatest veneration and
affection, and it was seriously intended
to erect n monument over the spot, to
prevent the cruel water from obliterating
all marks connected with the memory OF
this charming affair.
RATrLER-After many ups and downs
mostly downs of late-Rattler has
changed tactics, and is laid away for
n while Mt the Hospital. He will come
out n new man, and means to show that
he still has the means and the way to
bring some OF his valuable mining inter
ests to the surface again.
