The White Pine news. [volume] (Treasure City, Nev.) 1868-1906, 1875-05-15

LIS pelng the nfSt one OF the kind had
here this season, brought together a LARGE
assemblage of ladies and gentlemen bent
on making the occasion enjoyable. Mrs.
James Liddle and Mrs. A. I. Goodfriend
are entitled to great credit for HAVING
managed the affair 50 satisfactorily. The
lunch, which was a voluntary contribu-
ton by the ladies, was excellent. and was
served in the hall with unstinted hands
The coffee department, under the super
vision of Uncle Dan Patterson, was the
subject OF many compliments. The draw
ing OF rosettes from the box created no
little merriment, for the gentlemen,
God bless them being modest, were
nervous in drawing partners for the first
dance. it being their first effort. It was
intended to dance only until II O'Clock,
but the parties present at that hour were
enjoying themselves so well that it was
continued later, when all retired with ex-
pressions of the utmost satisfaction with
the evenings festivities.
TAKING THE CENsUs.-Deputy Assessor
H.. A. Comins is around taking the GEN.
sus, under the new law Of apportionment
passed by the last Legislature. He re-
ports the people obliging upon all mat
tiers except as to ages, and he meets with
this objection only from the female por-
ton of the community. So far, the old
est female is set down at twenty-six.
This, to outsiders, may seem a little
strange, but they must remember that
this camp is only about six years old,
which accounts for the youth of the lady
residents. Mr.. Comins is of the opinion
that a female census taker would be far
more preferable than a male, owing to
the inquisitive character of the duties
connected with the Office.
The S1cK.-Miss N. Allen, teacher OF
our public school, has been quite i'll for
the past ten days. SO much SO that there
has been no school during that time. We
learned yesterday that she is recovering,
and will probably beable to resume teach
ing again on Monday next. VIM Tim
son, County Recorder, has been severely
afflicted for some days with rheumatism,
but hopes to be all right in a day or two.
Joseph Hauser. salesman for Everts &
Co., was taken quite sick on Thursday
last, and was compelled to lay up for re-
pairs. We hope it is nothing worse than
a severe cold. p. O'Donohue has recov-
cred from his late illness, and is able to
be about again, but still looks quite feeble.
DRAP THOSE LADDERs.-Fire Warden
Hager requests us to notify all parties
that the ladders of the Fire Department
of Hamilton are under his charge, and
they must not be taken from the Engine
House without his permission. This is
right, for of late these ladders have been
used as common property. having been
taken without the knowledge or consent
of their custodian, who is responsible for
them.
To ARRIvE.-Mr. Ashford, of London,
England, a son of one of the heaviest
stockholders of the Troy Company, is ex-
pected here to-day. He comes as bearer
of important dispatches to Mr.. w. V.
Roberts, present Manager of hat CON-
pany. Mr.. Roberts has been in town
several days waiting the arrival of Mr..
| Ashford.
FoR THE SUFFERERs.-Subscriptions to
the amount of about one hundred and
fifty dollars was raised here in Hamilton
on Thursday last for the sufferers of the
late fire. We understand that a similar
one is being circulated on the Hill, and
that the people are subscribing very
literally.
CLEANING Up. H. Mau & Co., Of the
Pony saloon, have been cleaning and
newly papering their saloon, and it now
presents a very inviting appearance.
Added to this, they have just received a
large stock of fine wines, liquors and
cigars; also. ale and porter of a superior
brand.
ANOTHER New Road. r. Withing-
ton is engaged in building a new road
