showed the Silver State brick OF fine
bullion. made at the Florence Mill at
vaIyville from ore from bis mine on
Snow Creek. The bullion is almost
pure gold, being worth over GIG an

The Carson Tribune says party con-
sisting of three stalwart citizens started
off last evening on hunting expedition,
expecting to capture lynx that has COM
mitted awful ravages in certain sheep
folds lately. The hunting party were
well armed with shotguns. revolvers and
clubs, but were compelled to return
minus their game. His catship is sup
posed to be secreted somewhere in the
neighborhood Of American Flat, and will
| doubtless be unearthed, as the sleuth
| hounds are on bis track. There are
many scores of wild cats lurking in the
Comstock. ED RECORD.
The Eureka Sentenel says: G. Colum-
bus Pownng, the adolescent editor OF
the Reno journal, recently announced
himself as candidate for Congress,
whereupon tho Carson Appeal cruelty
and maliciously attempts to ridcule the
young man and his laudable aspirations
by quoting article /. section 2, OF the
Constitution OF the United States, which
designates twenty-five years as the mini.
mum age of congressional eligibility; and
Furthermore insinuates that Crissy was
ignorant OF the existence Of such pro.
vision in the fundamental law OF the Re-
public. The latter proposition is an in
famous SANDER. Mr.. Powing was not
only aware of the temporary obstacle in
his path, but had made arrangements for
its removal by the preparation of reso-
luton, to be introduced in the next Re.
publican State Convention, amending
the Constitution in such a manner as to
remove his disability. The writer of the
article in the Appeal is evidently some
churlish and crabbid old cock who is
Jealous OF the aspirations Of Young
America, and don't want to give the boys
chance.
