NEVADA STATE ITEMS.

The town presented quite lively ap-
pearance last night, many persons being
in from outside towns and camps. The
amount of stock talk heard in every
saloon, public house, shop and on every
street, was enough to have rendered
peaceable easy-going Granger from one
of the Middle or Eastern States, raving |
maniac or dwelling idiot About |
every two rods one came upon n man
who was Just saying-"Didn't tell you |
so? have said so all the time. l knew |
they would be up to-day" Another
would say-"Dealing in stocks with these
rings OF brokers is just like playing |
poker with q man who knows both hands
and sees your cards before the draw"
They haven't got id thing in the
Ophir," says one man, and the next
says: They have it awful rich in the
Ophir," and both men have information
from the most reliable source imagina-
BILE. Men, women and children are
talking stocks and nothing but stocks

of about two inches. The accident will

FURNACES IN OPERATION There are a
present seven furnaces in operation il
the district This time last year onl,
one or two were in full blast. Tn,
weather so far has been quite favorable
and it now seems probable that we ma,
get through the Winter without any ser
ious interruption in the mining business
which is OF course the paramount interes
of the district. Ii the mining interes
. prospers, all other branches of industr
, and business must necessarily flourish il
q corresponding ratio. With the mine
: in all parts of the district looking an,
J yielding better than ever before, we ma
reasonably hope to escape the dull time
which characterized this section durin
the two preceding Winters.
