Petition FOR MAIL.-Last week a
petition was being circulated for
signatures praying the postal author
tiles to establish mail route be-
tween Virginia City and Belville.
The petition was being generally
signed, as people consider that such
service was needed. We have here
toforc pointed out the Inconvenience
the people who live in Belville are
under in the matter of mail COM
munication with other places. At
present the mail g es first from Vir-
gina to Carson, thence to Aurora,
thence to the Tules Marsh and Bel
vile. This makes 1856 miles from
the starting point, or Virginia. The
route proposed is only 1874 miles,
over good road, on which better
time can be made than on the old
route. Within few weeks a steam
boat will be running on Walker
Lake, and the stages will be con-
veyed over that body of water for Il
distance OF twenty-five miles. This
will add speed to the transportation
and therefore still shorten the pro-
posed mail route. 1t will be great
convenience to the people of Belville
if the postal authorities would grant
the petition and establish this needed
mail service.

GONE TO THE SPRINGS. Our neigh
Dor Mr.. Becker has been for some
time past laid up with rheumatism
in one Of his feet, which lately be-
came SO bad that he could scarcely
get about. Towards the close Of the
week just past he went down to
Steamboat Springs, to try what virtne
there might be in those waters.
Since his departure VIC have not heard
from him touching his approach
back to health again. His many
friends will be glad to see him turn
as timber as in the days of his youth,
when he used to scale the mast to
the royal cross-trees without the
least extra effort.

AIRES CONSOLIDATED MINE.-I

AIRES CONSOLIDATED MINE.-1t
is pleasant to note in these times of u
deprecated stock market and silver
market the advance of any mining
industry While the silver scare is
spreading rather more perhaps than
It should do. and weak-kneed mining
companies are beginning to show
signs of temporarily succumbing,
there are some men resolute enough
To go right ahead rs though there
we're no 1erious Instructions to
mining operations. The mine
whose name is at the head OF
this item Is about to he worked on
the most approved plan and with no
stint of expense. 1t is situated in
Clearcreek Canyon, about two and
half miles from Carson. Two OF
the stockholders, Mr.. j. Il. Crosby
anu frof. -. r. Barnhart, OF New
York, have just been on the grouid
and made n close inspection of the
miac. The result of their examins-
ton is that they have gone to San
Francisco To order machinery for
aoisting works and also a ten-Stamp
mill. The minr has been idle for a
long while awaiting capital for its
development. 1t is rich in silver
bearing ore and Professor Stewart,
who recently made an examination
of it, said that the owners had for
tune if they would only dig it out,
Other parties who are familiar with
the grouad told the gentleman above
uamed that they would guarantee
enough ore of high grade To run
the mill for u number OF wears. The
truth of these predictions will soon
ne tested, us the New York men are
determined to go ahead.

CHURCH Matters. - We learn
from Rev. Mr.. Jenvey that he is
spw ready to rent the pews in
Grace Church. From what we
know OF the matter we heartily
commend the project to the fsvors-
BILE consideration Of our people.
The church is completed; regular
services have been held and will be
held. As matter of course such
ON enterprise cannot be carried on
without expense. and to meet such
expenses there must be a church
fund. We know Of no better way
Of raising such fluid than by rent
ing the pews. In this way certain
amount is security. is reliable and
may be depended upon. In any
other way there wonld be no GER
tainty and the officers of the church
would have no sure amount to work
on. It seems to us that every pew
should be rented at prices varying
from $50 to $40 per year. The pews
are large and seat from seven to
eight persons. II two families, for
instance, should unite iu the rent.
ing of . pew they would have ample
sitting room and would be taxed
only from SIS to $40 q year. Surely
any Of our families can stand this
W. understand from Mr. Jenvsy
hat while this renting of the pews
gives to the parties renting the frs,
eight to the seats, still. Christian
charity and true politeness will al.
ways uctuate the congregation and
prompt them to give a cordial vel
come and q seat to any stranger. OF
to any one who is unable to so rent.
We very much hope that our good
citizens will take hold Of this mat
ter in genuine earnestness, and that
they will rent every pew in the
church. 1t is not much that is
asked OF them aud. considering all
the advantages gained. We sincerely
think it should be cheerfully add
promptly granted.

is bad enough in his reckless writing

after trip away from home he is
sometimes quite beyond all reason.

How He Cor INTO BUSINESS "A
matchmaker at Florence, Alabama, once
told us how he managed to get into bus
iness there. He settled in the place a
stranger, just after the people had started
a new town clock in the tower of the
court house, but nobody came TO give
him job. A week or two passed on
without improving his prospects, when
in kind of desperation he determined to
make bold strike for business. Every
body swore by the town clock, OF course,
a fact which our matchmaker knew so
after night he made his way into the
tower and changed the hands few min
utes. Heard nothing of it on the day
following, and so changed them again
the next night. On the morning attel
the second change had beon made, man
called on the matchmaker and spoke o.
employing him TO regulate the town clock
/ but the matchmaker told him he thought
no regulation was necessary, as he hao
noticed that the clock was running exact
ly with his time, and drawing forth bis
watch, he compared it with the clock
and sure enough they were exactly to-
gether. Next morning the town clock
and the watches Of the place were further
apart than usual, and the gentleman who
called at the watch shop the day before
now again presented himself accompanied
by several friends. To their great sur.
prise they found the watchmaker's reg.
ulator and watch still exactly with the
clock, and that settled the question. They
all left their watches to be cleaned, re-
marking that they would rather have no
watches at all than watches that did not
keep time. The news spread other ir-
regular watches came in by the score un-
til, before the day was over, the watch
maker had the windows hung entirely
full Of work.

WoMAN's NATURE.-At the lower end
Of Woodward avenue yesterday an old
apple woman offered her fruit to vessel
captain who was signing over the good
times Of 1861. She wanted three cents
apiece for her apples, He gave her a
pleasant look and said:
" Well, we'll. Why you look as young
as you did ten years ago. Same bright
eyes and red cheeks-same white teeth.
" Take an apple for two cents Captain, y
she replied.
" ! presume you are fifty years old,
he continued, "but who'd know it? Lots
Of ladies at thirty look as old as you do.
"Taie an apple for cent, Captain,
she answered, smiling like a rose.
"Some rich old fellow will come along
some day, searching for buxom wife,

persistent flibustering resistance. Yes

he sent one Of the pages out and procured
a large piece of middIng meat, which he

A MOMENT OF GLooM.-A young man
called on his girl the other evening.
The family were assem- bled in the par
lor, amusing the youngest child with the
toys it had received from the mythical
Santa. Maybe you know how foolish
are the actions and talk Of people Oh such
occasions.
Said the father to the child, holding
up toy, "Oh, see the horse 1t ain'l
Willie's horse it's papa's borsey."
The mother held up a doll and said,
"Oh, the little dolly; mammals dolly
Willie shan't have it,"
Then the sister-the cider apple of the
young mans eye-jingled small bell
and said, ooh, look at the bell-nice
little belly-sister's little bell"
The mother clapped her hand over the
thoughtess girls mouth, and after q
moment of terrible gloom, the young
man turned to the father, and with sad
expression on his face ana tremor in his
voice, asked that gentleman if he didn't
think the farmers would begin to sell
their tobacco pretty soon.

"No, have not acquired that accom-

Well, you'd better learn. You hear

UTILIZING BLACK SAND.-The Wash
ington correspondent of the San Fran
cisco Post has this to say about certain
kind of black sand which is plentiful on
the Pacific coast.
Another industry appears to be about
to spring up whereby heretofore use
less element of our virgin soil will enter
largely into commerce and manufact-
ures Of the Pacific. 1t appears that there
is peculiar black sand deposit on the
beach at and near the Ocean House, San
Francisco Gold Bluff, Mendocino Coun-
ty, and many other points on the coast,
containing about 80 per cent. Of magnet
ic iron. This is easily manipulated into
first quality steel, and razor made by
Mr.. Elisha Rice from this sand has been
exhibited in Washington for some time.
An industry of this kind is prosperously
conducted in New Foundland, where
large deposits of sand exist. To have a
treasure like this lying at our door,
where there is so much boasted wealth,
looks like an unhealthy condition of
public investment. 1t should be looked
into, for "there's millions in it,"
