POLL TAx.-State Controller Hobart's
annual report for 1874 showsa bad record
for White Pine county. The report saws
only forty-two Poll Taxes were reported
for that year, while we had a voting pop
ulation of one thousand and fifty. AT the
last session of the Legislatule our mem
bers were ridiculed On account OF this
great discrepancy. and we think very
Justly. Every other county in the State
collected a Poll Tax to epresen its voters.
We hope Assessor Williamson and Dep
uty Comins will attend strictly to this
matter this year. There is no good rea-
son why this tax should not be collected
from every man. Let us redeem ourselves.
MADE A RAIsE.-Tim Shine and John
Flynn, of Treasure Hill. have been chlor-
iding on the old Autumn dump, belong
ING to the South Aurora Company, and
after asserting about five tons, sent it to
the Eberhardt Il Aurora Company's mill
for reduction, where it yielded 50, 900.
Ore that will work 500 per ton, left for
several years on an old and deserted
dump, looks like rich ore must have been
very plentiful in early days. We are
glad to know that the boys made a raise.
DANGER REMovED.-The front of the
old "Stone Saloon" on Main street. has
been taken down, much to the gratifica-
ton of passers by. The walls of this
old building, since the fire, have been
cracking ana bullying out so that many
were afraid to pass near it, and would
take to the street at times when walking
therein was not the most pleasant. Mar
shall Hager will receive many thanks for
having this work done.
JUSTICE CoURT.-Justice Bush was en-
gagged on Wednesday last in the trial of
w. Z. Grover for an alleged assault upon
D. Vaughan, who plead a former convic-
ton for the same offense before Justice
Ross of Eberhardt, and the plea being
we'll taken, the defendant was discharged.
On the same day, aud before the same
| Court, this same defendant was tried by
a jury for an alleged assault upon A. Jar
Wis, and was acquitted.
~JUMPER.-A stranger to jumping cir
cles made his appearance on Tuesday
last at the st. Nicholas saloon and made
a splendid record, jumping the boys out
of what small change they had in their
vest pockets, and then went off to his
mine to work as though nothing hadhap-
pened. You can't most always tell how
far a man can jump by the clothes he
wears.
FIRE.-The residence of Mr.. Harrison,
together with its entire contents, was
consumed at Eberhardt City on Wednes-
day morning last. Mr.. Harrison made
a very narrow escape with his life, hav-
ing his eyebrows scorched and otherwise
burned before he could get out Of the
building-cause, reading by candle-light.
INsANE.-Deputy Constable Aft. Muck
OILS of Cherry Creek, passed through on
Wednesday last en- route to Eureka, hav-
ing in his custody an insane man by the
name of f. Carveda, who will be exam
ined at the latter place before Judge Cole.
He imagines he can cook a goose better
than Pete Cannavan, hence his insanity.
The TIGER.-A m~enagerie has been
lawfully opened atthe st. Nicholas saloon
on Main street, where the curious can
find a square deal and courteous treat
ment. The striped beast at this place
has lost some of his ~terrors, owing to the
fact that everything is conducted honor
ably.
JAMES GLEAsoN.-Deputy Sheriff Will
son of Phoebe. passed throuph here on
