Shooting ARRAY.

Early yesterday morning nm affrny &C.
CURED ut the lower hurdy house that
came near ending in a serious ann
n was tho birthday Of n Of the dane
ing girls. and several OF her admirers
were on hand. opening wine in honor OF
the event. A young German, named
Meyer, and n restaurant waiter. named
johnson, were mutual admirers Of the
girl. and IN the wine disappeared the
~greon-oyed monster displayed its claws,
ending by johnson striking the young
German. Joe Schwam acted the role Of
''mutual friend" by knocking the assault
ant down. who ON gaining his feet. drew
a revolver and fired. the ball striking the
ceiling. The next shot was directed at
tho German. and the bullet narrowly
missing his head. passed between the
legs Of tho bar. keeper and lodged in the
wall. A third shot was fired before the
shooter was disnrmed. but did NO dam
ace, going through tho floor. johnson
was arrested by officer Patton and taken
to jail, but was released some time yes
terday, whether on bail or not We failed
to ascertain. The matter should reach
the Police Court. NJ the in~discriminats
shooting OF pistols has been too frequent
OF late. and the lives Of innocent parties
put in jeopardy. -EIreka seniind. Feo. 1.

MILITARY Posr.-I. s. Bowman re-
eeived n letter from Senator j. =. Jones
relative 10 the establishment Of n mill
tary post at Winnemuecn. Senator
Jones says he has requested tina Secre-
tary Of War to establish tho post ut this
place, and hopes his request will he
complied with. but as tho War Depart
mcnt is crrtailing its expenses ho Is not
oyor sanguine that il will be done. Win.
nemueca has advantages for n post Of
that character not possessed by any
other point on tho railroad. II is CEN
trally located on the railroad. and being
the point where the main t~horoughfars
from the north intersects tho rail-
road. troops could be sent In any direc-
ton where their presence OF services
were required. and for this reason, u
none other. Senator Jones' request
should be complied with. IfCamp Nc
Dermit il to be abandoned. as has been
represented. the establishment Of a mill
itary post nj Winnemucn will be u neccs-
sity. -Saru S.ats, Etb. 4h.

csaparauvs Merits,

The San Francisco Post thus touches
up the Bauelin's ideas on bonsnzas:
The Bulain. In the interests TOT the
clique who for their own sslhsh pur-
poses have depressed stocks. and are en-
riching themselves by the ruin Of small
holders, is losing no opportunity to
damn tho bonanza by faint praise,
taking especial pains to compare Il with
the Bslcher deposit. which, II says.
"has not realized o titho OF what the
interested and enthusiastic predicted for
Il at the time Of its discovery" Now.
a. Q matter OF fact, tho Bslchsr deposit
has produced moro than was claimed for
It at the time by its owners and the
experts who examined II. II the
same testimony shall hold good in the
case Of the Consolidated Virginia and
California bonanza, these stocks have
never yct reached their intrinsic value.
Since tho developments commenced u
bigger mino than Belchsr has been un-
covered every week. md this ore, instead
Of yielding 500 per ton, runs from tho
hundreds mp into the thousands. The
Builetin's teachings are tho saine A. when
II declared tho Comstock had given out.
and urged tho sale Of 0phir at 90 per
share. Those who lose BY following its
advice will have themselves to blanc.

Tim Inland Lake Survey.

The Local Commissioner made visit
to the party making the survey of Crook
ed River this week, and found the work
progressing in very satisfactory man
ner. The work upon Crooked River was
nearly completed; so near so that it is
now certain that there are no engineer
ing difficulties in the way of making the
navigation of that river perfect success,
and at comparatively small expense.
Mr.. Stimson, the engineer i'm charge,
thought that the Crooked River work
would be completed, so as to move their
camp the first of the week, which would
indicate that the field work will be COM
pleted the coming week. The weather
portion of the time has been very bad,
so that the work, which is altogether in
the water, was Very slow and disagreea-
ble. Although all that could be done
has been, it will be impossible to have
the report ready to present to the Board
this month as was desired by all interest
ed i'm the work, but it it will be i'm readi-
ness for the December meeting, which
