The silver state. [volume] (Unionville, Nev.) 1870-1903, 1875-05-18

A ROMANCE in real life is reported
from Halifax, in Yorkshire, England,
namely, the elopement of bride on her
wedding day with the gentleman who
officiated as "best man at the cere-
mony, and who was moreover, engaged
to be married to her sister. After the
marriage had taken place the wedding
party adjourned to the house of the
brides mother. One by one they left
the room where they were assembled,
until the bridegroom fonnd himself
sitting alone with the mother-in-law.
Sometime having elapsed without the
temperance of the bride, and the
bridegroom having exhausted his con-
versational powers, he went in search
of her, and was rewarded by finding
her in a public house with the "best
man." The bridegroom himself, being
a teetotaller, was given to understand
that his presence was de trop in that
establishment. This led to an argu-
ment, during the course of which the
bride and the "best man" slipped out
of the public house and have not since
been heard of.

HIDDEN TREASURE.
GREGGsyILLE. May Is. 1876.

GREGGsvILLE, May Is, 1875.
EDITOR SILVER STATE: For the ben
eft of the people of Humboldt county,
permit me to state through your col
umns that experience in mining has
proved that nearly all the silver of
commerce is produced from
Dixie VEINS,
Such as the mother veins of Mexico,
and the celebrated Comstock of Ne
vada. Right here at our doors, in the
center OF Nevada, is one of the largest
OF these veins ever discovered. Pro-
lessor Stewart is the only scientific
man that has ever examined it, and his
time being limited, he had only oppor-
tunity to examine that part OF it known
as the Maniti mine. This
dixie CAN BE TRACED FOR MILES
BY the propylite and trachyte which
accompanies it, and along its course
are observable the action of thermal
springs, solfatara and volcanoes, with
quartz vugs along the side of the fs-
sure, and in Gregg's Maniti mine can
be seen the proof-the richest silver
ore in the State. Believing it would
be well for our Comfy Fathers to visit
this place, and see the source from
whence taxes will be raised to
PAY THE COUNTY BONDS, ei3
extend to them an invitation. The
fissure vein will add millions to the
wealth of the county; and that it may
be accomplished soon is the hope of
OBSERVER.

LETTER FROM PARADISE VAL
LEY.
Heavy and Welcome Rains-Smiling
Farmers-Doing i'm the valley.



PARADISE, May 10th, 1875.
Ed. SILVER STATE 1t commenced
raining here early last evening, and
continued steadily during the night.
This morning set in with down-pour-
ing that soaked the ground to the
depth of several inches. A rain storm
was never more needed or more well
coined; the warm weather coming so
unusually early, having nearly ex-
hausted our water supply by melting
the snow on the mountains. Some of
the farmers were becoming terribly
respondent ; but long visages have
given way to smiling countenances,
and all are more hopeful now, that
the crops here got a good start. The
grain looks well, generally. but the
Bradshaw brothers, who are among our
most enterprising farmers, have few
Numbered acres that is hard to beat
in any country. and which promises q
very heavy yield.
]. L. Duvall, of the firm of Duvall &
Pierce, has sold his interest to Mr..
Elliott, q new conner, who brings with
him a wife and three children. Lee
Duvall has just returned from pill
grimage to Cornucopia, and is favorably
impressed with the money making fea-
lures of that locality. He SAYS it con-
tains excellent land and an inexhaus-
tible supply of water. Prices are high
and money plenty, and be expresses a
determination to go back and start into
business.
Charles Kemler has enclosed his
hotel with rustic siding and painted it,
which gives the building an elegant APP
pearance.
w. J. Cantrell has located new
place near Thomas Mullinix's ranch,
and is carving out bone.
A citizens meeting will be held next
Tuesday at the School-house to adopt
measures for protecting crops from the
encroachment of stock. PARADISE.

GoING TO BULL RUN. c. Wilson,

mate of the valleys in the vicinity of
Bull Run well adapted to farming
purposes, and will in time be one of
the most extensive agricultural districts
in the State. Water for irrigating pur-
poses ia plenty in the Summer season,
and no difficulties will be experienced
from dry seasons.

We protest against the Montpelier Female
Humane Association lottery being stigmatized
as thc "Aieroadru lottery swlndle" We ex
poet Alexandria bad about as little to do with

business was done 10 New York, and that city
is entitled to all the credit
The woodlands have put 90 their loveiest
hues, and
''Tnerc's golden haze of autumn
Resting on the field and meadow,

Dark aud strangely, sad and sober,
Nhl!e the scre leaves sigh and rustic
10 the footsteps Of Octvber"
