AMAZON AND GLAsaow.-several

AMAZON AND GLAsaow.--6everal
days ago we stopped Captain Csld-
we'll on the street and interviewed
him in connection with the present
condition Of the mining property
under his superintendent, and he
gave us some interesting points.
The same were written out and hung
on the hook for publication, but 10y
some means quite unknown theamat-
ter did not get into the paper. We
therefore take this occasion to renew
our acquaintance with the Amazon
and Glasgow and say that the out
look is now just shade better than
it ever has been, and that the indica-
tons at the bottom of the shaft 1880
feet from the surface) are at the pres
ent time most encouraging. Some
seams of quartz are coming in, which
point to the close proximity of the
ledge-the ledge that was cut, We
presume, by the 800 foot lead. Re-
Gently some new machinery has been
ordered from the manufactures at
San Francisco, among which is =
tabular boiler, steam pump and
SINE ct ceteras. The boiler is to
supply steam for the present double
cylinder engine and the pump, which
will be placed at the 300-feot level.
This pump will have capacity for
h listing all the water that may rea-
sonably be expected To fl wv into the
mine. and the h listing apparatus will
thereby be allowed t. work uninter-
rupteiIy in bringing up rock. Work
in sinking is expected to go ahead a
good deal I've ter under this arrange
ment. We understand that three
shifts of men will push the shaft
down us rapidly rs possible. Some
less stubborn rock has been encpun-
tered lately.

TRADE DoI.LARs.-We observe

TRADE DuILARs.--Weu observe by
exchanges that this spe, les Of specie
is fast disappearing fr.m the circua-
ton in all parts Of the State. IL has
% far given place to ether silver coin
in these parts that now one scarcely
sees dollar piece at all. The hr"k-
ers have bought them up ut heavy
discount, and will make money on
their purchases. The trade dollar
scare was like many other scares in
the financial line which sul,side after
a time as mysteriously as they first
come into view. II 10 gratifying to
know that tho trouble consequent
upon their coinage has been past.

"TuE Bio BONANZA. This is the
title of Dan Deputies book. We
were shown the prospectus on Mon
day. From it we judge that the ex-
pectation of the authors friends and
admirers will be fully realized. Dams

The Enterprise has through a long
period sparkled with his quaint
humor and striking originality. His
stories have been copied into all the
leading newspapers of the country,
and the euphonious nom deplume
which "Dan" early chose is known
far anu wide. 1t is the best nom
deplume, we may say parenthe,ically,
now extant, and reflects of itself the
genius of the person who discov-
cred it. Upon the subjects treated
in "The Big Bonanza" there is not u
writer-scarcely man, whether he
be writer or not-on the coast that is
more competent to compose than
Dan DeQuille. His residence on the
Comstock from the memorable early
days and his intimate connection
with early events and current local
history down to the present as repor-
ter prepare him especially to write
an entertaining volume on Nevaaa's
character, chief industry, early his
tory. interspersed with captivating
stories and sketches. This he has
done in style that is his own. and
which many an author would he
glad to initiate. We see that the
agency for the sale Of the book for
this county has been given to John
I. Griffin, who will soon canvass for
subscriptions. We predict for the
volume larger sale than any work
has ever met with in the State. 1t
will contain about six hundred
pages.

DRUNK AeAIN.-Natchez the Pluto
was rolling drunk Sunday. Where
he gets his whisky is question too
ponderous for the ordinary compre-
hension. Notwithstanding that there
is law strictly forbidding the SELL
ing or giving of liquor to Indians,
Natchez manages to get enough al
most every day to make him drunk.
We observe that he performs the
office of "clean up" about saloons
of mornings, and that is where he
gets his work in most likely. Saloon
proprietors shout have care how
they allow him to steal drinks when
their backs are turned, and the Of.
ficers should make it point to de-
tect, if possible, whoever it is that
violates the law in this respect. We
have officers as good as any in this
part of the State, and it they set
themselves about discovering where
these Indians get their whisky they
will no doubt succeed. We therefore
warn persons in the practice to look
sharp for q while.

TAPPING THE TILL.-The boys, or
rather the bums---for we always speak
respectfully of the boys-seem to
be pretty hard up these times, to
judge from recent developments OF
petty crimes. 1t is but short while
ago that our neighbor across the
street, Caspar Haupt, was made the
victim of some light-fngered fellows
exploits. His loss was tritling, we
believe. Night before last someone
visited the till in Paul Gross butcher
shop and extracted therefrom all the
remaining change-about $3.50. The
drawer was secured by tel!-tale
lock, but the theity intruder was
equal to the occasion and pried off a
side cleat, thus affecting an entrance
without any trouble.
