The Gold Hill NeWs is guilty of tho
following: At the last meeting of the
Storey County Teachers Institute the
following conundrum was proposed
among other arithmetical problems:
A nan puts down q certain sum Of
money on the corner of the ace, to take
the trey, in a $25 limit game. They
both win through. At the end of the
deal he finds he has S57. How much
lid he put down, and how much did
he win?
The originator of the question was
Immediately stricken with paralysis
upon writing the above, but has now
recovered sufficiently is V with
his friends. He says the problem has
been properly solved, that twenty-five
cents was the starter, but objects to the
poetry of that reporter. The emenda-
lion which he proposes appears in pa
renthesis. The poem is given:
When to the faro shop 20 1 do repair.
Finger fOndly your last quartair;
Scan tho score of the case-keepair;
Meet the stair of ths dcalair;
fut your quarter between q pair;
To win on the ace and trey prepare
Twenty-ive's the limit, you are aware
And if the game is on the square.
You may win right through on the same old
pair.
Pass in your check. with a cheerful air.
Fifty-seven ahead Of the gam bslair,
Less the sun of u slick quartalrl;
Then don't forget the bar-keepair,
Nor to treat your friends to the gay oystair.
Now, let this matter rest. The
school marms of Gold Hill and Vir-
GINA ned trouble themselves no
more. The question is settled.
Says the Carson Appeal: The prize
fight between Crane and Wales, OF
Dayton, announced to come off on
Tuesday evening, caused quite a gath
ering. At che hour appointed both
men appeared. The place selected for

Dayton, on a little fiat across the river,
adjoining Bartlett's ranch. Wales won
the choice of corners. The first round
developed some lively sparring, cred.
table indeed to a town as quiet and
Christianlike as Dayton. Wales drew
the first blood, amid cheers, and both
men went down, Crane being under.
Wales won the second round by a neat
hit under his opponents ear. In the
third round Crane was driven TO his
corner and forced owe the ropes. The

fifth was the best of the fight thus far,

ing to grass bv q stout left-hander
from Crane. The sixth round was
short and hotly fought, Crane being
knocked into his corner. Atthis june
ture Deputy Sheriff Gearhart invaded
the ring to arrest the com batants. The
crowd put him Out. Another round
was fought, when Deputy Sheriff Gear
hart again appeared with a posse and
arrested the cOmbatants, and the crowd
dispersed. The pugilists gave bail,
and SO the fight was ended.
The Enterprise says that the princi-
pal business houses of Gold Hill were
last night lighted with gas manufac-
tured by the Virginia Gas Company OF
this city. From the gas-works in this
place the distance to the center of Gold
Hill is over a mile. 1t is town" all
the way, and the main is tapped in
places innuinerable, yet the pressure
in Gold Hill was excellent and the
light given by the burners gave great
satisfaction and was much admired by

is whittier and better than in this city,
as In moving along the pipes for the
distance OF q mile the gas deposits
many impurities that are still in 1t In
this city, and tend to give the flame q
red or yellowish color. The sending
of the gas to the Hill slightly reduced
the pressure in this city, but this will
be remedied in future by more heavily
charging the gasometers. The people
Of Gold Hill were greatly pleased Il
find their places lighted up with gas
upon which they could depend. Their
last attempts to light the town through
q petroleum Company" OF some kind
was . failure. They had the pipes in
all parts of the town. but no gas. The
Virginia Gas Company laid . main to
the town, attached this TO the pipes and
gave the people gas.
We learn from the Enterprise that
Professor w. +. stewart Is again quite
III, and IL not only confined to his room
but also to his bed. He has had quite
q rough time of it, rs he had but little
more than recovered from q lonR spell
OF sickness when this second attack
came upon him. 1t would seem that
the altitude of this place Is too great for
him, and as soon as he Is able to do SO
he will probably move down toward
the level OF the sea.
