Just dues, be went on TO Washington
alone. paying his own expenses and
saw the President himself, who pre-
possessed with the boy ordered him to
be examined, and finding that be de-
served an appointment gave him one.
The professorship to which Ensign
Nicholson has Just been appointed
shows that Grants confidence in him
was not misplaced.
United States Marshal Augustus Ash
has appointed the following deputies; J.
b. Mclean, Carson City; J. G. Rsgsdale,
winnemucca; W. H. Brown. Elko; Sam.
uel Bell, Eureka; Isaac Credit, Austin;
and'W. II. Doane, Storey county. The
March term of the United States Circuit
Court will commence on the 10th inst.
Bad roads are the rule near Eureka as
elsewhere. The Sentinel says: The
roads must be pretty badly blocked in
all directions; at least there is scarcely
anything doing in the way OF
teaming from any point. Coal is e1-
| tremely scarce, and unless things change
for the better pretty soon it is more than
likely that the Richmond also will be
compelled to shut down its furnaces.
Indeed 1t seems certain that the present
dull season in Eureka must be endured
for o colple Of months longer.
The Eureka Sentinel gives the follow
ing warning to the Base Rangers: Eugene
Smith. a noted horse thief, is reported
on his was here from Phoebe. Some
months since he stole five horses in Lin
coin county, for which he was arrested
and lodged in jail, but owing to the
financial condition Of that county he
was turned loose-the Sheriff being I'M
able to procure sustenance for prisoners
on tho credit of the county. Smith is
said to have great weakness for other
mems horses, SO it may be well to keep
an eye ON him when he turns up in this
neighborhood.
The Reno Journal of the 7th remarks
The material for new paper has arrived
and the first issue will be out In two or
three weeks. Alexander Il Hayden are
the publishers. The paper is named the
Reno Evening Gazette. 1t will be about
the size of the Journal, 1t will be indie
pendent, politically, in the strictest sense
of the term Reno has heretofore had
two daily papers, but our business men,
live though they be. could not afford TO
support both, and 80 one was forced to
succumb. The situation, we believe, has
not changed much for the better since,
but still there may be necessity fol
another paper. II SO it will soon become
apparent.
The White Pine Tunnel project seems
likely to 90 ahead. The News of the 18th
seys: Major Henry arrived here from
the East, and at once set to work tc
make all necessary arrangements fol
getting the Burleigh drill 10 operation
upon his tunnel location. We lool
upon this enterprise as being the frs
step towards the successful development
of the vast wealth deposited in Treasure
Hill, which in the next year, will Sc
at rest all cavil in regard to whether thu
ore veins descend, or that the mineral !!
entirely confined to the surface OF thu
mountain or originally came from thu
clouds, or whether it came up from tn,
, bowels of the earth. Miners, and al
others conversant with Treasure Hill
are fully convinced that the proposed
tunnel will cut the main ledge, and prob
. ably number OF blind veins. Whei
this question is once settled. the pro
liabilities are that the South Aurora Com
! pany. the Original Hidden Treasure
the Ward Beecher, the Edgar, and mum
Der of other companies, will at ono
,, abondon all the top work on their claim
and either run tunnels themselves, G
8 make arrangements with Major Henri
to work their claims from his tunne
which would be vastly more expedition
and economical mode of working. TIL
tunnel will be 5000 feet in length, an
will pierce the mountain ut a depth 0
some 1,600 feet, which will perfect
expose the three formations that ar
said to compose it. The course of th
tunnel will be east and west, and cut a
right angles number of north and sout
| veins.
