THE -Tba hes . ,yere

O~'ercast and the atmosphere murky
during the most Of yesterday. Show
ers and sunshine alternated, the former
however having the call on the largest
number of hours between 9 A. M. and
the going down of the sun in a halo of
glory behind the Toiyabe range, while
the eastern sky was rendered beauti-
fully enchanting by subdued tints of
purple and gold radi-ting from a mag.
nificent rainbow which spanned the
horizon just above the crest OF Dia
mond mountain from the Pinto mill
at the south to Four-eyed Nick's ranch
at the north. The view was especially
mellow all round, while the invigor-
ating breeze, waited gently DER the un
dulating hills and down the resplen-
dant valleys, heavily ladened with the
fragrance of the luxuriant sage, was
just the cheese to inspire the feeling
that cen here on the ragged edges OF
the Base Range all is not vanity and
%vexation of spirit-''or words to that
effect" A few timid people may have
experienced visions of cloud bursts
while the rain was rafting down at in
~tervals. but all fear on that score must
have vanished, as if by magic, when
the rainbow of which we have been
speaking made its appearances; for
does not the Holy Bible tell us who
read it that that little joker was placed
there by the Great Jehovah as a cove
nant and promise that the world should
never again be destroyed by water
spouts? 1t is as clear as a bell at this
writing (inidnight), but it is more than
an even bet that she spinkies and shines
and shines and s%prinkles again to-
day.
CENTENNIAL SPECIMENS. - Messrs.
Stewart and Whitehill, Nevada's Cen
tennial Specimen Commissioners, ar
rived yesterday by their own convey
an Q from Hamilton and points fur
Their east and south. They will re-
main in this section several days, gath

tennial stock, etc., and we hope that
our people will afford them every IA
cility possible for the accomplishment
of the purposes they have in view
Their chief object is the collection of
rare specimens tor exhibition at Phila-
deiphia next year. The idea Is to
make u grand display of Nevada's
mineral wealth on that occasion, which
must necessarily result in benehling
the whole State. Miners, and those
engaged in mining affairs of what
ever kind, W. ii To themselves to see
that our district, the second in point OF
importance in the State, Is properly
represented in the cabinet of mineral
wonders that Is tC be exhibited from
this state. The naine of the mine, a.
well as the donor, will be- carefully
placed on each specimen. The gentle
men in question, being greatly iatigued,
VIII spend a day or two in recruiting
their wasted energies before commenc-
ing active hostiiilies. Further men
tIon of their plans and movements
will appear in these columns from
time TO time during their stay in ouf
midst. We bespeak for them at the
hands OF u citizens that encourage
ment aud cordially to which their
laudable mission entities them.
