CHRISTMAS TREE.

Last week we appealed to the ladies of
Hamilton to do something for the amuse-
ment of the children at Christmas. AS
a result, we were confronted on Monday
day morning by two ladies-Mrs. Gier
and Miss. Ada Vandeshure-who pre-
scented to us a paper they were carrying,
and requesting that we append thereto
our autograph. Who could withstand
the opportunities of two pretty ladies,
to say nothing of the cause for which
they were soliciting the aid AS usual,
we weakened, as we hope every individ-
ual will do when approached by these la
dies. 1t is now a fixed fact that the
children are to have a Christmas tree at
St. James Church on Christmas Eve.
and we hope u citizens will not be
stingy in subscribing their mites for
adjoining it. The Lyon County Times
publishes IN article on this subject, and
has the following to say in favor of a
Christmas tree and the children: "'God
bless the little boys and girls should be
the thought of all, and it should be seen
to that on this Christmas holiday no child.
however obscure, should miss of having
his or her name called from the branches
of the Christmas tree. A little mite, no
matter how little, if given the little fell
lows in public as a Chsistmas gift, will
gladden. their hearts for the whole dav
long, and cause them to feel that, al
though nothing but children, the older
heads have not entirely forgotten them
in their own anticipated pleasures of the
day. Curtail the expenditures for cigars
and Christmas libations justa little, and
give the little mes a jolly time. Look
ing back through the buried years, how
well II can remember the feelings of the
little folks as their bright faces and rest
less little bodies gathered around the
evergreen boughs of an olden Christmas
tree! How eagerly each little urchin
watched with sparkling eyes and water
ing mouths those who detached and
called out the dainty presents of toys and
goodies, stretching every nerve in anxi-
ETY. to catch the sound of their names as
the precious fruit of the Christmas tree
branches were being distributed |! Don't
you remember the sorrowful look of sad
disappointment depicted in the sweet
face of that little boy or girl who saw
every gift disappear into other little
hands, and he or she was left gi.tless i?
Do not let this occur in the distribution
OF gifts here, for all the joy bestowed upon
the ninety-nine would not atone for the
sorrow of the one hundredth little clam
orer who may be left to 60 home empty
handed"

man and merchant at Mineral City, re-
turned here OIL Monday last from a trip
to Bunker Hill, near Austin, where Capt.
Strickland. Sam Woodin, and other of
our citizens mined in 1868, and thought
they had the mining world by its latter
end. Irvine gives the most glowing &C.
counts of Bunker Hill as a mining local
lty, and intends working his mine there
the coming Spring. He has made ar
engagements to have the property patented
at once. He showed us some of the rock
from his mine, which averages $50 to
800 per ton, and says there is lots of it
in sight.
QUIET TIMEs.-The Record means over
the dull times thus The weather is Just
now the kind to suit every one in Phoebe,
but business matters are the reverse.
Trade is very slack, and what is done is
on credit, the surplus cash floating around
being infnitesimal-it cannot be seen by
the naked eye. Still our plucky business
men do not grumble but keep on the
even tenor of their way, trusting those
whom they know will pay when they
have the wherewith. We hope to see a
better state of things before long.
Acc1DENT.-Thursday last Fred Barras
was attending the circular saw at the
White Pine Water Works, and having
his attention called to something else,
attempted to step back. and in doing so
slipped and fell, his left hand striking
the saw, which made a frightful cash be-
tween the third and fourth fingers. 1t is
supposed that he will entirely lose the use
of the third finger.
AssEssMENT.-The San Jose Mining
Company. location of works at Egan
Canyon, have levied an assessment of
five dollars per share, payable on or be-
fore the 18th day of January next, and if
not paid by that date, will be delinquent
and sold on the 29th day Of February.
HE RACEs.-By a telegram received
on Thursday evening, we learn that the
races at Cherry Creek commenced on We'd
nesday as per programme. and that the
purse of 81. 900 was won by Sam Mosier's
horse Harry" The weather was SPLEEN

SUFFERING. = Our neighbor, Henry
Mau, has been suffering great pain for a
number of days past with neuralgia in
the face. At times the pain has almost
set him frantic. We hope he will recover
from it and be all right again in a day
or two.
ENTERrRIsE.-The Virginia Enterprise
is the only newspaper in Nevada that
printed the Presidents message entire,
and was COTTON up in it's usual neat style.
That's business.

They are on exhibition at Capt. Strick-

AT the personal solicitation of Presi-
dent McCosh. of Princeton College, a
Presbyterian merchant has given five
billiard tables to be placed in the college
gymnasium. President McCosh believes
that in this way the temptation of the
students to visit billiard saloons, where
Intoxicating liquors are used, will be in
part removed.

THE New STRIKE.-The Austin ReueiHe
has the following to say in regard to the
new find on Treasure Hill: 1.-The strike
of a bonanza at a depth of over 500 feet
in the mines of the Eberhardt & Aurora
Company, has revived the dropping spir-
its of the before respondent White
Plners. who now look upon the perma-
nency of the district as an assured fact.
Those who have stuck and pinned their
faith to White Pine and contended for
the theory of that big ore channel
running through Treasure Hill, and ar
gued that the rich surface ores didn't
drop down from the clouds, but that there
was more of it where that came from,
have seen their predictions realized, and
it is to be hoped that they will receive
the reward of their perseverance and
patience"

A MORMON HORSE THIEF.-We learn.
says the Phoebe Record. from Tom De
Masters. the driver on the Hamilton line,
that a Mormon who arrived at the White
River Home Station with a mule and a
horse a few days since left there on
Thursday night, taking with him the fol-
lowing property belonging to a Mr.. Mo-
man: A race mare, a saddle and bride,
in addition to the property brought here
by him. This seems to be a pretty bare
faced robbery. Several parties belong
ing to the station started in pursuit, and
it is to be hoped that the thief will be
overhauled.

The New York World started the story
that Vice President Wilson was neglected

could hardly be furnished a sick and
dying man than was provided to the late
