At Taylor District. ten miles from

The White Pine News OF the 9th says
Barney MoGowan, the missing man, of
whom We spoke in our last issue. has
not put in an appearance yet. A num-
Der Of men have been put out searching
for him for some days past. It is prob
able that he became slightly crazed from
the effects of liquor and wandered off
and died from hunger and exposure, and
POSSIBLY that he met with foul play. The
latter ssupposition has led some citizens
on Treasure Hill to ask the Board of
County Commissioners to offer reward.
which they have done to the amount OF
$500.
The Reno journal Of the 9Th saws
We saw gentleman from Pyramid City
yesterday who informed us that the
prospects were constantly becoming
more and more fattering. The rock
from the Monarch is richer and richie,
as depth is attained. Two houses have
been bnilt and more are about to be
erected. One house has been put up at
Cold Spring, one mile from Pyramid,
since Monday. At this point tunnel
100 feet long has been run. The crop
pings, which are almost continuous for
five miles, show that these two locations
are on the same ledge. There are be-
tween two and three hundred men there
now and more are constantly arriving.
Much prospecting is being done, and in
every case the prospects are encourage

teacher requested her to take O part in a
dialogue in which half dozen children
OF five or six years OF age were interested.
Miss Rita had very short notice that abe
was to appear in the dialogue, and told
her mother that she did not wish to I'M.
dertake it. The mother sent note to
Miss Tyrrell. asking that her daughter
b. excused. but the teacher desired to
hold her to the part, and when the girl
said she could not do it her teacher took
a raw hide and whipped her in ON un.
merciful manner. Last evening the GIRLS
left arm was swollen TO three times the
size of the right, and her back was in a
very bad state. In the hollow along the
spine, where tho end OF the whip seemed
