Picnic at Inskip Station.

There was a good turnout of the mem
bers of the Second Presbyterian Sunday
school yesterday at their picnic, at Inskip
Station. Although the clouds looked
threatening early in the morning, they
soon disappeared, and pleasant day was
the result. An abundance of refreshments
was on the ground, and the little folks en-
joyed themselves thoroughly, and there
was nothing to mar the pleasure of the oc-
casion, with the exception of fall sustain
ed by little girl, causing some slight
injuries. The picnic will long be remem-
bered, especially by the younger members
of the school, and will doubtless prove an
incentive to them to continue faithful in
their attendance, in anticipation of SIM
liar happy occasion next spring.

Mr.. Geo. w. Baxter of this city yester.
day received through Hon. Horace May
nard from the War Department an ap-
pointment as cadet to the Military Acade
my at West Point. He is son of Col.
John Baxter. There were several appli-
cants for the position and notice was given
for an examination before 1t. T. T. Thorn
burgh. U. 3. A, last week, but no one but
Mr.. Baxter appeared, so the appointment
was conferred upon him. 1t is good selec-
ton and we predict that the appointee will
pass creditable examinations and reflect
credit upon his family and city,
The Annapolis appointment was given
to V. 8. Nelson, son of Hon. Thos. A. r.
Nelson. There were several applicants for
this position and Hon. J. NJ. Thornburgh
decided to hold a competitive examination.
The committee was Lieut.. Thornburgh,
Profs. j. X. Payne and Hunter Nicholson
Mr.. V. s. Nelson was awarded the NOM
ination by the committee We do not
know the youngman buthear him spoken
of as bright and promising. We hope
Knoxville may find in these two young
Representatives to the Army and Navy
officers of whom she may be proud.

COMMERCIAL.

Il s".@~~
GRA1N.--There is very unsettled condition
of the market, and tbs almost an impossiblity
to give quotations in grain. There is large
fleet of boats at the wharf and the city is stocked
with produce. Buyers and sellers are vainly
| endeavoring to establish settled price, but up
| to the time of going to press, no settled figures
have been agreed upon. There is a general de-
cline in all kinds of produce which is in some
degree owing TO the market below being stocked
as well as this place. The late heavy rains have
caused rise in Powells' river and in conse-
quence large fleet of boats arrived here and
mand for produce below. The wheat at the wharf
is principally composed of mixed lots, and all
that has been sold was of that class, and brought
| from 81. 40 to $1.50. Some of the boatmen hold
back with the hope of forcing an increase, and
it is almost useless to attempt to givequotations
but those below are as near as we can gather
which are, however, liable to change BY this
morning.
FLoUR-The market is really overstocked,
and prices range lower There is also an un;
sellers seem unwilling to take buyers figures
We give quotations of last sales made, but will
not insure them to hold good to-day, as figures
on flour, as we'll as wheat are liable to change
momentarily.
OATs.-There is no special activity in the oats
trade, and We are forced to quote them rather
dull.
CoRN-Last sales reported for shipping pur-
poses, Sc cts. for milling purposes at 60 cts.
Eggs.-Quite number of eggs have been
thrown on the market yet there is not much
activity displayed. They are rather dull at
quotations
BACoN-The bacon trade is quiet and firm.
There is a fair stock in market and sales are
readily made at quotations given below.
GRASS SEED.-Western quotations in grass
seed show downward tendency, but with pres
cut shipping facilities the market here IS likely
to remain at present figures.
The following are the quotations of leading
articles:

AN IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.

It has long been our wish to speak Of the dis
covery Of stone coal at Pancake, but we have
refrained from doing so, fearing that q premA-
ture epOse might injure the prospects of the
owners Of the property. Now. however, that the
fact Of the existence Of good coal In quantities
has been demonstrated, As we are informed,
beyond q doubt, II has become q matter Of public
interest to all people. The mine where this
valuable discovery was made is situated on the
Pancake range Of mountains, fifteen miles from
Hamilton. In the immediate vicinity of J. D.
sullivan's old station. Some four years ago the
latter gentleman. then living on his ranch ct the
place mentioned, thought he could trace indica-
tons Of the existence Of coal. and at once CON-
menced sinking q shaft, which he finally aban-
doned. until Col. A. Lewis. an energetic mining
gentleman. well known in White Pine and
vicinity. in company with Fred Barrows. were
attracted 10 the spot. and. becoming convinced
Of the presence of coal at that place. entered into
arrangements with Mr.. Sullivan to IN
work on the same. Col. Lewis at once proceeded
East. and after considerable difficulty succeeded
in interesting some parties there In his enter
prise, and work has been prosecuted steadily
since. To the gentlemen now engaged In the
development of this valuable property is due
great credit for their persistent efforts against
much opposition from practical miners and
theoretical scientists, who never acknowledge
the presence of anything until some other parties
make discoveries then they know all about it
and declare that the formation of the country
proves Enthusiastically the existence Of the article
sought for. Science is well enough. but had
Col. Lewis and his companions listened to
advice from its d~evotees. they would never have
made the discovery Of marketable coal in Pan
cake range. No doubt can possibly exist Of the
value and extent of the mine, a., we are informed,
that at a depth OF 200 feet a vein OF four feet
eight inches has been exposed. which can be
readily extracted. The locality wherein this
discovery is made renders the value Of the prop.
erty greater from Its contiguity to the smelling
furnaces Of Eureka, and to the valley through
which the line Of railrosd is proposed to be
built. When all arrangements are complete .
large forcepf men will be set at work on this
mine, and we can confidently expect to see coal
In use. both for domestic and smelling purposes.
The owners Of the mine are naturally much
elated at the prospect before them. and. with
much truth. believes that their possessions ex-
coed by far the richest silver mine In Eastern
Nevada.

N AT

We were favored with . call from DIT. Brooks,
9 gentleman largely engaged in mining interests
in Robinson District. from whom We CLEAN
several items bearing upon that section. The
doctor is conhdent hat the camp IL surely but
slowly making Its immenss mineral wealth
known to the world. and regards II only . CUES
ton Of time when It will take rank among the
richest mining sections. The Brooks mine, In
which he Is interested. is showing splendidly,
having Il shaft down sixty feet In . continuous
body of milling ore of high grade. Being but .
short distance from the Hayes mine. the present
appearance proves It's ultimate worth. Many
men are engaged developing their various prop
critics, and all are working with an abiding faith
in the future of the country. One great detri.
ment to the prosperity of the camp Is the present
want Of facilities for reduction purposes, there
being only one ANAL furnace there, which has
never yet proved decided success. Il seems 10
us that. with the experience obtained from
smelting ores In Eureka district, the represents.
tives Of the Canton Company could erect fur.
naces which would produce bullion at as rapid
. rate as Ia the case In the former place. No
fault can possibly be found with the quality or
quantity OF ores ~ Robinson, ~ al varieties
appear to exist. including soft carbonates mixed
with gslena or free rock at for milling. How.
ever, the people there are promised soon to have
. mill erected by the Hayes Mining Company.
and. we are informed. as soon IS negotiations
now pending below are completed. the work OF
construction will commence. A fair trial Of this
enterprise must develop the fact that the ores
are susceptible of treatment by eitherthe process
of milling or smelling. and when the bullion ia
produced from the workings, then may the
district anticipate the lively times 30 long hoped
for. A mine may be good. may be rich and the
ores assay well but the best criterion and the
most convincing proof to purchasers or specu-
lAtors is the production Of silver In bars. Until
that contamination ia arrived at, no hopes need
be entertained of a lively camp.
