20 Il Go. The hosting works of the
Meadow Valley having been finished,
. trial of them vas made On Monday
last, the result being very satisfactory;
they are now idle. About 10000
pounds Of pumping machinery have
arrived during the past week, it being
stored at the mino. A small amount
of chloridiny and other work is in
progress. In the Raymond II Ely
prospect work on theSth, 10th and llth
levels is pushed ahead; chlor:dlng in
some of the upper levels IL still going
on. The Phoebe mine is not being
worked at present. The HUM and
Hunt mine is now working six men,
who are taking out a good quality of
ore. No other mining work of any
importance is now in progress around
Phoebe and what little Is doing at pres
ent is not very encouraging, although
the promise of the starting of the
work on the Meadow Valley pump, if
not delayed, will push up matters con-
siderably.
Farmer Guthrie, says the Winne
mucca Register, whose ranch in Grass
valley seems to be the grand central
stamping ground for rabbits, informs
us that he has adopted u new method
OF capturing the pests. He has made
a number Of snares of copper wire and
set them In different places around his
fence, and catches OF an average of
thirty q night. His boys have kept an
account of the number caught in the
last six weeks, and it amounts to over
sixteen hundred. This is a much
| cheaper way of disposing OF them than
by shooting, as the snares will last a
whole season.
On the 1900 foot level of the Belcher
mine there is u gentleman at work for
four dollars per day who was former
ly the Mayor OF Il flourishing city in
one of the Eastern States, and he ~
doing first-rate under the discipline.
He came here with much money; he
bought stocks; he did not buy when
they were low; he failed to sell when
they were high. The result was that
one morning he found himself hungry
and with no money to buy hash. He
did the sensible thing; he went to
work, which Is an indication that he
will again have money and again be a
Mayor.

Nevada Is destined to become famous
for her wonderful growth of grain. On
Change, recently, were exhibited some
specimens of wheat and rye grown by
John guthrie, of Winnemucca, Hum
boldt county, Nevada, which beat any
thing eve before seen. The wheat
weighed 81 pounds and the rye 80
pounds to the bushel. The wheat, as
seed, is said to be \ sure crop for rs
bushels to the acre on ordinary soil,
and the rye Will produce in proportion.
Mrs. G. II. Garden, wife of Captain
Garden, says the Phoebe Record, died
at her residence, in Meadow Valley
Wash, suddenly, on Friday afternoon,
the 25th instant. Some lady residents
of the neighborhood were making a
call on Mrs. Garden, when she com-
planned of a pain in her side and re-
clined on the bed. In ten minutes she
WAS dead. The cause Of her death is
unknown. although it is supposed to
be heart disease.
The recent cold weather, we under
stand, says the Belmont Courier OF
the 18th, proved disastrous to a large
portion Of the growing crops in this
county. A considerable portion OF the
crop of wheat and barley was so much
injured by frost that it had to be cut
for hay. The potato crop also, in some
localities, has suffered to an extent
that the farmer will moi more than get
back his seed.
John Wixom, of Reese River valley,
has a large dog OF the female gender,
who recently lost all her pups, and the
house, cat having y litter OF kittens, the
slut it appears decided to raise q fam
lily OF some sort, adopted and took
possession OF the kittens as her own
offspring, and nurses and cares for the
little pusseys with as much devotion
as though hey were her own.
