EXHIBIT or THE SILVER
CENTRAL CONSOLIDATED.

The Silver Central Consolidated
mine takes the main ledge from the
south end Of the Dayton ground.
and embraces 5000 linear feet; the
entire tract owned by the company
covering an area Of 81 acres. the
most of it held under Q. s. patent
and the balance likely soon to be
secured in a like manner, applica-
lions having been made for the
Government title. This is an old
location, having been taken up at
nm early day and afterwards extern
sively prospeeted. An incline
shaft was srnk to depth Of 80
feet in the ledge matter several
years ago, from. this shaft, which
exposes 'svell-formed vein. a con-
siderable quantity of ore was taken
out and milled. yielding from $50
to $50 per ton. Most of it, like
tile surface ores of the Comstock
generally, consisting Of free gold.
Tie company are now sinking a
vertical double shaft for the
thorough working Of the mine.
which has reached depth of Us
feet. As yet no water has been
encountered, the much deeper
works Of the Dayton, Kossuth and
Daney, in the immediate neigh
borhood, having kept the ground
thoroughly drained in advance.
The labor of hosting has now be-
come so great, and the prospects
of the company are considered SO
encouraging, that they lately de-
termined to put up first-class steam
hosting works. The entire ma
chinery. including engine. boilers,
pumping gear, etc., has been pur-
chased, and will within one week
be on the ground ready to be put
in place. With this outfit they
will be able to explore and operate
this. mine to depth of 1000 feet.
The bottom of the main shaft is
now within forty or fifty feet
Of the lode. The company will,
a. soon as the latter is reached,
commence taking out ore known to
be of good quality. This company
was incorporated in San Francisco
last January; 10000 shares of their
stock have been set aside for rails
ing a working capital; from the
sales of which means sufficient for
the erection of a mill will be real
lied by the time one is required.
The company have an eligible site
for . mill in close proximity to
their mine. s. F. Stock Report.

[ always have. whenever come here
Your Katy entertains so very nicely
mean it, pom my honor Katy dear.
I truly don't know where the time has vanished
1t gave me quite funny sort of shock
To find my visit done, and find moreover.
There wasn't any trouble with your clock (.
So now think I'd better get my things on
Yes, Katy, must go; for don't you see,
Mamma this morning told me when started:
Bessie, you'd better be at home by three
You ask me if I'd like to stay to dinner?
Il knew that nice smell came from roasting meat
Oh, no. thank you, Mrs. Brown, couldn't
(They do have such delightful things to eat!)
You say you're sure mamma will not be worried?
And KaGy wants me so ? and little Will?
You really wish I'd stay? Well, since you urge me,
Why, thank you, Mrs. Brown, I think WILL
hope my conduct doesn't seem peculiar
But, then. mamma said, when went away:
Now mind that yon don't stay to dinner, Bessie,
Unless they urge you Uegy much to stay

and talking love to silly girls.

A RIDICULOUS affair of honor recently
came off at st. Louis between two law
yers, J. III. Mincke and G. d. Grismore,
the former being the challenger. Der
ringer pistols were selected as the
weapons, and twenty PAGES the distance.
Arriving at the ground, the principals
were ordered to strip for the fray. Girls
more obeyed with alacrity. With
Mincke the case was different. He had
his coat buttoned up to his chin, and in
sisted on fighting in that trim-that he
was chilly, and if he exposed his body to
the air he would become more so, and
thereby unsteady his aim. The seconds,
however, were memorable, and proceeded
to assist him in peeling off his superhu-
Gus toys. Upon unbuttoning the coat of
the bloodthirsty duelist, what was their
astonishment to find buttoned beneath
its folds piece of oak plank Is by II
inches and an inch thick, two old rubber
shoes and beaver vest carefully folded
into four thicknesses. Mincke &C
knowledged that he had padded his body
to protect himself from his antagonists
bullets, but said he would still fight if
the distance was heightened. The sec
onds demurred. Mincke threw down his
pistol, declaring that 20 PAGES was muir
derously close, and demanding that it be
extended to 80 PAGES. The demand was
acceded to, and the duelists posted so
PAGES distant from each other. Mincke
again declined to fight, but his second
declared it would be cowardly not to pro
coed, and he then consented, though o
little bourbon was necessary to brace
him up" Finally shots were exchanged
and the fight ended. It subsequently
that the derringers were load
ed with salt in lieu of balls-a precon-
certed trick of the seconds.
