The Reno Journal saws: 4 new
county is talked OF bvlh Cornuc ,pian~.
They are situated about ninety miles
frum the county seat. which is Septr.
ated from them during the Winter
months by almost impossible SNOW
drifts, and IN lhe Spring by oceans OF
mud. ElkO county, in tine latitude OF
COrnurOpia, extends from Humboldt
to the Utah line. a distance OF over W
hundred miles from east to west. The
northern part OF the county contains
rich grazing and agricultural land,
and the los productive mines in the
State for the number of stamps n
ploved in reducing ore. 1t is Very EVIL
dent that the people of C~ornucopia,
Tuscarora and Bull Run will make
A good showing for a new county, and
will succeed in getting M with the
seat OF justice at CornucOpia before
MANY wears. The mines are develop
ing finely, and next summer may give
them the population to warrant the
new organization.

Ben. Carrick. one of the hOodlums
that were instrumental in sending a
Christian gentleman away from Gold
Hill Yesterday, got a walking ticket

send for McGinnis, the well known
Silver City man, to accompany the said
Ben. to Carson and vouch for him to

ceive him and keep him here until
train time. There will be more retu-
gees from Gold Hill this evening, and
we advise our officers To be on the
alert. Tom Harkln was sent to the
State Prison this morning. 50 says the
Carson Tribune OF the 18th.
This morning, says the Virginia
Chronicle of the 18th, there tottered in
before the Relief Committee a paral-
wed and ill-clad man, who applied
for relief and made such a deplorable
showing of his need for it that it was
at once granted him. \ few years ago
he was the richest man in Nevada
county, California, and was worth per-
perhaps three hundred thousand dol
iers-a good illustration of the viciSsi-
tudeS OF life on the Pacific coast-one
year in a bonanza and the next year
too poor to buy a meal.

tune; so IsdOn't think | shall wear
anything" If she attends the mas
querade in that fix she is liable to take
cold.
