tables by getting friends all over the citv
to buy from the retail dealers, aud to Get
public wcishcrs to weigh the coal thus
hought directly after delivery. In all cases
save one, the weight was short, and he then

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

ORE SHIPMENT Work was resumed
about two weeks ago on the Union
Series mine, and there are now Eve or
six tons os ore ready for shipment
The wagon road has been repaired, and
arrangements have been completed for
hauling the ore to the Reduction Works
to-day. This mine Mt one time shipped
considerable quantities of mineral to
Reno aud other places, which left q fair
profit after paying all expenses. The
result of the crushing of the rock now
in process of shipment is awaited with
interest. Should it prove remunerative
the development of the mine will be
pushed ahead. The assays from sew
eral veins Indicate paying rock, and
if the actual working approximates
any way near the assay value. the
mine will again take it's place among
the profitable claims of Winnemucca
Mountain.

SPIRITUAL MEDIUM. - One of the
prisoners confined in the County Jail
is spiritual medium. BY laying his
hands on the table it will move in any
direction the medium wills. The
other evening a skeptic who was pres
ent at a seance jumped on the table
while il was in motion, but it contin-
ned to move, nevertheless. and struck
the side of the Jail with such force, that
one of the legs, two and half inches
square. was broken. There appears to
be no humbug about the table tipping
and moving in this instant, and the
wonder is that the medium does not
move himself out of Jail.

AN ENGINE OFF THE TRAcK.-Yester-
day the swift-winged Mercury, COM
monty called the "yard engine.
played the railroad boys a merry string
by running off the track in front of
Kemler's mill, and making straight
run for pond on the east side of the
embankment at that place. The Mer-
curry was attached to a long train of
cars, from which it cut loose near
switch. and while backing up at slow
rate, the engineer being on the outside
oiling the machinery, it slipped off the
rails, and two wheels of the tender get
ting off the Ties, sank deep in the soft
embankment Another locomotive was
brought to the rescue of the Mer-
curry, to which it was hitched, but
proved unequal to the task of
pulling it on the track. A sec
ond was then brought, and their united
strength succeeded in getting the pom
derous machine once more on the rails.
A teamster who witnessed the operation
remarked that an "injine' off the track
was a burned sight WIS than a balky
team in mud hole, and the teamster
was right. Off the rails, a thirty-five
ton locomotive is as unmanageable q
critter as lives, not even excepting
woman. The accident delayed the pas
senger train, which arrived at the scene
from the east, few minutes, but the
passengers, all of whom left the cars
and hurried to the scene, didn't seem
to care, as it gave them something to
talk about, and good opportunity to
exercise their limbs and ask questions.

The FooT-RAcE OFF.-The foot-race
between Hammond and Stone did not
come off yesterday at Humboldt Wells
as announced. The first race having
been decided tie by the judges,
though outsiders claim that Hammond
was the winner, has caused considera-
BILE difficulty in selecting judges, and
owing to disagreement on that point,
the race is off for the present. 1t is
reported, however, that the hackers of
the racers are determined to have an
other trial of speed. and will eventually
find judges.
MINERS, TAKE NoTIcE.-The atten-
ton of mine owners having free mill
ing ores is directed to the advertise
ment of the Oneida Mill Company, in
another column. This company's mill
is situated at the Sink of the Hum
boldt, near Browns Station, and is
run by water power, which enables the
owners to reduce ores cheaply. Ores
forwarded to Browns, on the railroad
will be taken to the mill without cost
to the shippers. Walter Schmidt, for
merly of Rye Patch, and successful
millman, has charge of the works.

SOUTH MoUNTAIN.--A dispatch from
this camp says that the South Noun
tain Silver Mining Company shipped
%, 900 pounds of bullion to Winnie
mucca on Monday last. The furnaces
are kept running steadily, and the
principal mines are looking first class.
Several new discoveries have been
made and located lately, and some of
them show indications of the presence
of rich ore. Altogether the camp is
lively and prosperous, and the outlook
fiattering.
WAGoNTowN MINES. --latest reports
from the locality of the recent develop
nents state that at distance of about
ten miles from Silver City another rich
discovery has been made. Frank Sin
clair and Bart. Mayse have struck the
finest ledge yet found in the district.
The other claims are looking well. The
weather continues fine, and the show
is fast disappearing from the noun

He was. smuggled OFF Blackwell's

in consultation with his counsel, after
which he proceeded to the District

counsel presented to Judge Davis the
order Of the Court of Appeals, for his
discharge from the Penitentiary,
which was signed by the judge. Boss
Tweed soon after appeared In the

people. The District Attorney moved
that the defendant be arraigned to

the people, said that 1t was evil
dent that the defendant intended to
pursue the old tactics, and stand off
the proceedings as long as possible.
This was disclaimed by Field. After

Judge Brady fixed the bail, under the
civil suit, at three millions of dollars,

Gold found in paying quantities on

Private advices received here say
that the command found 100 miners
at work in Custar's Gulch, taking out
gold at the rate of from 5 to % cents

are many more miners in that coun-

scaiy, but easily pounded. Quartz
mines are abundant, but no one has
prospected them. No Indians have
been seen.
