very poor health for his old homo in
Canada some months ago. Mr.. Hay

Of friends. An extract which We take
the liberty Of publishing verbatim, will
be recognized az In keeping with tho
prominently kind nature Of the man,
for whose complete restoration to health
and his former usefulness no one moro

COUNTRY QUANTITIES IN NEvApA.-It Is
unnecessary for us to say q word in
Recommendation Of the beautiful pleas
urs grounds Of the Bowers Mansion In
washos Valley. Anything we could say
in regard to Its grand surroundings and
delightful attractions, would only be
supsrfluous. as the spot has been visited
ut various times BY almost every man.

one thing wo can say to all. and that IL
that the Mansion Is o open for the
reception OF families seeking q cool and
pleasant summer retreat. and a few
weeks recreation during the heated
season. Tho property has been pur-
chased by Mr.. Kelly OF San Francisco.

sAvn rns WARM. The increasing
scarcity Of the wator supply in Gold
Hill. Virginia and Silver City. as the
Summer advances. ought to impress the
necessity for economy in its use upon
the minds Of the inhabitants. Tho
fact that there are hundreds OF mon out

known TO everybody living here, and
has been noticed more than once in these

ready some Of the smaller mines have
had to shut down on this account, and
