nesses up his dog, and has for his sleigh
two barrel slaves. with feathers nailed on
for him to put his feet in, he then gets
on and squats, calls his dog to him, who
is already harnessed, takes q trace in
each hand, and the dog starts with him
whole tilt down the hill the full length of
Main street, e turning to the right or
left, unless some other dog comes out af-
ter him. when he just goes for him,
carrying the boy and sleigh with him,
and either whips the dog or makes him
take water. when be again starts in for
his coasting fun, which he will keep up
until he is entirely tired out. The best
part of the thing is that after racing down
the hill at full speed he hauls his young
master up again, but at q great deal
slower pace.
ENCOURAGING. Recently we have been
permitted to read several letters written
by gentlemen in San Francisco to par
ties residing here. They all bid us to be
of good cheer, and say that capitalists
will take hold Of some Of the mining
properties here early next Spring. and
that a much better feeling exists in re-
gard to White Pine now than has before
in a number of years. Should San
Francisco capital start in here, and White
Pine recover from her black eye, this will
be the second, if net the first, mining
center in the State of Nevada. With a
little assistance of capital it can and will
be made so.
WHERE'S SILVER CREEK, NEvADA?-
Fo: q month past there has been going
the rounds of the postofices a bundle
directed to Lizzie -, Silver Creek,
Nevada. The bundle contains a pair of
baby shoes and an apron, both of which
articles will be worn out pretty soo if
they do not find their owner. We sup
pose the articles were intended as a
RACoCAI W HOuO ulCo, kttll0
baby and its mother, and the party send
ing it got the wrong address. AT any
rate. the boys in the postofices have had
great fun in sending the bundle to all
points of the compass in this State.
DEcLINED.--We have received a COM
munication dated at Mineral CITY and
signed "Biitts Miner which we must
decline publishing, for the reason that it
is too pointed and personal. 1t does not.
call names. but the subject matter has
been SO recently and so extensively dis
cussed at Cherry Creek that the publiea-
ton of the communication would only
tend to open anew the wounds that have
just been staunched between two factions
of that burg. Nothing can be gained by
the interference of outsiders in a little
domestic trouble of this kind, and the
less said about it the better it will be- for
all the parties concerned.
ARREsTED.-The young man Read, of
whom we made mention two weeks ago,
for horse-stealing at Cherry Creek, was
arrested at Eberhardt a few days since
by officer Morton. When arrested he
gave his name as Dexter Rockwell, and
says he halls from Connecticut, but lat
terly comes from Utah. We understand
that he acknowledges taking the horse,
and that it was his intention to proceed
to Colorado, and would have lone so only
that his partner Invent back on him. on
the money question. He will have an
examination to-day before Justice Bush.
WEATHER.-During the week we have
had all kinds of weather, and the Lord
knows that any of it has been bad enough.
The whole country is covered with snow
as far as the eye can see, and its depth is
from three to six feet. 1t commenced
showing again o. Wednesday night, and
kept it up until Friday noon, the time Of
our going to press. About a foot more
of snow has fallen. Should it continue
for q few days longer the indications are
strong that we will have a snow-storm.
New AGENT.-On Monday last Mr.. j.
Souder arrived here from Philadelphia.
He m out to take charge of the bust
ness affairs of the Philadelphia and Ne.
vada smelling works. Since his arrival
ne has been actively engaged in looking
after the company's interests. and we have
not had an opportunity to'interview him
IN regard to future operations. We have
heard MIR. Souder higly spoken of as a
practical business man.
ON BUsINEss.-E. L. Alexander. U. s.
Special Mail Agent for the Pacific coast.
passed through here>a day or two ago on
his way tt Phoebe. He is looking after
several registered packages-say $40. 600
worth-that should have left the Phoebe
postofice on the 3lst of December last,
which packages have failed to arrive at
this Office, and no one seems to know
what has become of them.
ILL.-We regret to learn that Judge
Cole is again seriously i'll with typhoid
