Mr.. MATHEY, the gentleman who was
here some timo ago canvassing the
proposition for the introduction of gas in
this place, returned from San Francisco
yesterday morning, his wife accompany
ing him. He informs us that the pro-
ject hangs fire for a time, owing to the
reluctance of his associates to embark in
the enterprise until it shall have been
demonstrated that the Pancake coal
mine is capable Of furnishing the re-
quisite coal for gas purposes. Mr.. Mathey
will, in few days, make a personal ex-
animation of the coal deposits in Pan
cake Mountain. He is satisfied himself
on the subject, but his associates seems
disposed to move more cautiously. He
now estimates that the proposed gas
works will cost $50, O0O.-T Eureka Senti.

rora mines, the White Pine News says:

and the work being done is daily expos
ing other and larger bodies. Our oft re-
peated predictions seem certainly to be
approaching nearer sure confirmation
than ever before imagined, and we have
now no hesitancy in saying that much

On Sunday there was a little exhibit
ton at the Tabernacle not set down in
the bills OF that menagerie. A Saint
from over the briny deep followed a
priest who had been sent abroad to
preach the Latter.day doctrine, and in
his spiritual moments had taken advan-
tage Of the sister OF his English brother,
and seduced her. The object Of the
brother visit to this country was to take
revenge on the priestly seducer, and on
Sunday found him at the Tabernacle,
when he proceeded to chastise him in a
summary manner, but was interfered
with before he had got in many good
licks.-[S. l.. Tribune, Is.
