THE PANIC
News of the downfall of the Bank of
California, created quite feeling here
for short time, and is the subject of
considerable talk yet; but when it was
known that Freeman Of Elko, our
County Treasurer, was all right, little
uneasiness was felt, and then again last
night when we heard that the bank
would in few days resume business,
all felt better. / was down to the
site of
THE LEOPARD MILL
The other day. The foundation is all
in and part of the machinery on the
ground. Everything is in substan-
tial manner. and when all is completed
it will be one of the finest mills in the
State for its size. The mine is devel-
oping some very fine ore as is also the
Hussey.
Last Monday over the Cornucopia
race course was quite spirited one. 1t
was between Mathews bay and the
Niger Baby; 500 side; distance 300
yards; won by the Baby. Next Satur-
day another race comes off over the
same course, between Williard's brown
and the above mentioned bay. SO you
see We have chance for the horse
sporting fraternity here as well as else
where.

Coon OaE.-David Van Lennep,
Manager of the Humboldt Reduction
Works, informs US that there il a
marked improvement in the quality of
the ore now received at the mill from
the Pride of the Mountain mine. There
is now at the works some fifty tons of
the ore, which is cleaner and better
looking than that hitherto worked
from the mine. The foreman of the
mine. William Woolcock, knows a
thing or two about mining, and his
knowledge makes itself apparent not
only in the drifts and slopes, but in the
