FIRE AND BalNsroNE.-lu the SILVER
State of August we have the following:
L. X. D:ais, Just in from the Eabbi!
Hole sulphur mines, gives Us the follow
ing particulars of q fire which accident
ally broke out in the New orthy mine
last week. The mine had been bonde d
to a New York company, who were en-
gagged in prospecting it. They had run
a drift sixteen feet into solid sulphur,
which had to be blasted. The miners
fired a blast Just as they quit work III
the evening, and left for their camp,
some distance from the mine. The fuse
or burning powder hred the sulphur,
which burned all night, and the next
morning when the man returned to work
they were surprised to see stream OF
burning birthstone flowing from the
mine, and forming lake i'll the flat be.
low. They Immediately set to work to
extinguish the flames, but as water was
scarce, in spite of their efforts 1t contln-
ued to burn for nearly three days. 1t is
estimated that there are at least 500 tons
of birthstone refined by the fire and
ready for shipment in the ravins, and
til at not more than IS tone were burned.
The fire prospected the mine to the sat
isfaction of the New York company, aud
saved in time and labor the yalus OF the
sulphur burned.

Congressman Piper and G. +. Hunt
had a nice little war of words at Will
iards' Hotel on "Wednesday night. 1t
seems that Piper, who has been re-
nominated to Congress and who Is as
full of pepper and vinegar as an oyster
house castor, ended series of banter
ings by asking Huntington whom ''the
thievinS monopolists were going to
run against him in the San Francisco
District. Then
Huntington didn't know what was
meant by this blackguard remark.
Piper said he meant Huntington 5
associates.
Huntington retorted that Piper's as
SociateS were so low down that his
friends had to fish for them.
Piper said the monOrolists could
only beat him by stutiing ballot
boxes.
Huntington said that if his friends
resorted to such means they would
have to seek their instruments among
Piper'S companions.
After continuing i'll this strain of vo-
cabulary, Piper withdrew with the re-
mark that he wouldn't be seen in
HuntIngton,s company, to which the
latter replied that he felt perfectly Sc
rene, as he had nothing about him
which Piper could steal.
This is not the elegantest kind Of
personal colloquy, but it is better than
having sunstrOke on Pennsylvania
Avenue.

TburIow Weed in his senility has

lifetime spent in wickedness, he still
retains the desire to accomplish his
purposes by indirection,a S he did III the
old days when he was the Mephis-

All this because the venerable Thur

is a vast and bubbling reservoir OF vir-
tue and compound blow-pipe OF Nir-

for Reform As any of John Morrissey's
faro dealers are. Hence it Pounees on
old Thurlow and calls him "a vile

HORSE D1sEAsE.-Through tbs medi-
UNI of letter from tho northern part of
the county, we learn that a disease re-
sembling what is known as pink-eyed
farcy, has broken out among the horses
of Bull Run basin and Independence
Valley. In portions of the east, horses
are not afflicted with what is said to be
the Same disease. The attack is gener-
ally about the bead, but not always, and
in one or two instances has caused the
bursting of the eye-balls. The disease
resembles mountain farcy, or eplzootlc.
We have not heard what treatment OF
the affected animals has been adopted,
but as the disease appears to be spread
ing, the subject will be one of interest
to breeders of the noble animal in this
section of country.-I Elko Independent,

CUSTER BETRAYED BY A CRow SEQ

CUSTER I1E1R4NED BY CROW SCOUT.
"A new and singular version of the cir
cumstances which led to the massacre
of Clusters brave command comes from
Bismarck, being the story related by a
sergeant of the Sixth Infantry. He as
serts that Custar Was led into the snare
by the treachery of Grow scout named
Cross. The scout, with the two guides
Gerard and Jackson, were all who es
capped from the massacre. It is said that
Cross was sent out to reconnoitre by
Custer, the night before the battle, and
that lie returned in the morning and re
ported that the Indian village was small
and offered an easy victory. Then fol-
lows the disastrous charge and whole
sale massacre. The Indians were IN
formed of Clusters intentions and had
made every preparation to give him &
warm reception. Everything was done,
and breastworks Of willow brush had
been thrown up, from behind which the
Indians could pick off the soldiers with
ont being seen. Further evidence has
been obtained that white men were Will
the Indians. Reno's men say they heard
English spoken frequently in the Indian
ranks during the fight. One of the In
dians shot by Reno's men was found to
be white man with long beard, wear
ing an Indian mask. A bugler who was
honorably discharged from the Second
Infantr.J in 1859, is also believed to be
with them. During the fight he blew
calls on a trumpet several times.

su ;ii rapid movements that the specta-
tors eye could scarcely keep track of it.
The movements were incessant for sever
al minutes, during which time the snake
had seemed to dance over several rods
of ground, but it finally crawIed onto
rock
The gentleman now first saw the king
snake make @ spring of nearly ten feet
and light upon the rattlesnake. Then
another series of quick movements en-
sued, lasting several more minutes.
Round after round followed, each more
desperate than the last, until an hour
had passed. Then both beligerents were
exhausted, and the rattlesnake was in
clined to crawl out. The little one,
however, kept up the fight, and finally,
getting it's fangs fastened into it's foes
throat, held on until the rattlesnake died
Then the conquerer set to work to drag
its dead enemy off the field. The wit
ness now interfered, and throwing his
coat over the king snake, captured it,
He then examined the dead rattlesnake
and found small hole in its throat, that
being the only visible wound on it. AZ

very pleasant things, but they are too
