diately put in working operation. 1t
was formerly owned and worked BY
some San Francisco parties, who long
since abandoned the same, and it was
relocated by parties here in January
last under the law of Congress. A large
amount of ore had been left or the dump
at one of the shafts, the assays from
which 90 very high. We are informed
that a number of tons Of this will be dis
posed of to the Hamilton Mining and
Smelling Company. and that contractsfo
more will be entered into by the respec-
tive parties. This is but one Of the
many mines which will be required to
be worked in this district to keep the
two new furnaces in ores, which will
soon be in full blast.
SANITARY. The sewer on the west side
OF Main Street has of late been in a filthy
and unhealthy condition, and since the
warm weather has set in, the stencil
arising from it was almost unbearable.
A little effort was made within the past
few days to clean it out, but not enough
has been done yet, as there still remains
a large quantity of filth. which should be
either sluiced or dug out ct once. No
efforts should be spared to keep the town
in a good sanitary condition. and par
ticularly so at this time, when so much
sickness prevails. We hope the proper
authorities will see to this matter at once,
for we do not wish to boast as Chicago
once did of her sanitary condition. when
il was announced at 3 o'clock P. NJ.
that there were three hundred and sixty
five separate and distinct smells, and
three Wards yet to be heard from.
To START Up.--The 5-stamp mill, on
the road from this place to E~berhardt,
and of which DR.. Brooks is the lessee,
is now being overhauled and thoroughly
repaired by James Montgomery, with a
view of commencing working operations
as soon as possible. The fact that the
work is being done by Mr.. Montgomery
is sufficient guarantee that the mill will
be put in complete running order. A
large amountof ore is already at the mill,
and more has been contracted for. DR..
Brooks has had large experience, and
thoroughly understands the milling bust
ness he is very energetic. and has great
confidence in his new undertaking.
DANGEROUS. How often have persons
been cautioned against the careless dis
charge of firearms. and yet. apparently
with no effect. One more example is to
be added to the long list of hair breadth
escapes. County Surveyor Henry, while
on his way to the Courthouse on Tues
day morning last made a narrow escape.
He had just turned off from Main street,
and had gone a few steps on his way,
when a stray bullet, fired from a pistol
or rife. struck within less than a foot of
the Major. Once more we say, "hold
up your gun up"
MINING RECORDER. The election of
Mining Recorder for White Pine Distict
tool place at Treasure City on Tuesday
last. The aspirants for the position were
Samuel F. Paul and John L. Robertson.
The vote was light, yet there was consid-
cradle interest manifested. Total vote
cast was seventy-two, of which Mr.. Paul
received ffty-four, and Mr.. Robertson
twenty-eight, leaving Paul sixteen ma
jority.
IMPORTANT. : Billy Hayes, the ever
prompt and accommodating laundryman,
has added a new feature to his laundry.
Parties having but one shirt, and wish
tina washed. need no longer go to bed
and wait the old, slow process, but just
hand 1t over to Billy, and in an hours
time it will be returned. neatly done up.
Verify, we are progressing.
HUNTERS Those nimrods - Charley
Wray and Harvey Carpenter-returned
on Tuesday evening last after a two days
hunt. bringing with them a large number
OF young and tender sage hens. We,
among many others, were kindly remem-
bered by these gentlemen, for which they
will please accept our thanks.
ANOTHER ONE.-A man by the name of
Blake, on Wednesday last, took it into
his head that to pick a giant powder cap
with a piece of wood was pleasant pas
time, and that it would not explode the
cap. The loss of a finger and the opin-
ion OF DIR. Owen has changed his mind.
DEcIDED.-A syllabus of a decision
upon 40 titles can be seen upon the lot
between the st. Nicholas and Capt.
Strickland's saloon. The substance of
the decision is, that where a lot is not
inclosed, and is not occupied, that it is
