AlkACos I'll A(Aou KILL -
on the 1st instant. We imagine that
these discharges will only be temporary,
and that the men be put to work again
in a month or six weeks. or as soon as
hauling can be permanently relied upon.
All the dumps at the mine are full. and
will hold no more ore. leaning will be
resumed as soon as the weather will per-
init. Only those employed in taking out
ore were discharged those engaged in
prospecting and doing dead work were
retained. We understand hat it is the
intention of the company to do a large
amount of prospecting in their different
mines during the next few months. They
now have q large body of ore stripped,
which can be taken out much faster than
their present milling capacity can work
it. aud have a months run now on the
dumn at the mill. which is valued at
800 600. It is estimated that the ore
now stripped and in sight is worth $780,
600. The company's prospects are GER
tainly very aattering.
RErURNED.-While in Eureka, a few
days since, We had the pleasure of meet
ing George W. Cassidy, n of the pro-
prietors of the Sentinel. who had just re-
turned from a visit to San Francisco. He
was looking splendid, as though honors
were easy with him. We tried to inter-
view him in regard to his being a candi-
date for Congress this Fall, but he would
not interview worth a cent. We tlshk,
however, he will be a candidate. In
this connection, we also heard for the
FIRST time that our old fellow-townsman,
John r. Kittrel, will be a candidate for
the same position.
FIRE.-An alarm of fire was sounded
on Wednesday night on Mill street. 1t
was caused by the root of Gum. Peters
house taking fire from sparks from q
stove pipe, but was soon extingaished by
those who made the discovery of the fire.
Had the fire been permitted to gain a
little more Roadway it could not have
been stopped, as at the time the wind
WAS blowing IA gale, and it would have
been impossible to haul our fire appa-
ratus through the streets to the scene of
the c~onhagration. on account of the deep
snow.
GONE TO WOODBRIDGE Sheriff Fife
and District Attorney Goldthwaite, of
Phoebe, arrived here last Sunday. having
IN charge Dan Murphy and Charles Han
sen. alias Handsome Charley who
were being taken to the Woodbridge Asy-
ium. Many of our citizens will remember
Charley az the h.ndson e shoemaker who
kept his snop on Main street "a couple OF
years ago. He imagined tina, every lady
be met Immediately fell in love with him.
In this case it was unfortunate to have
been born handsome.
The TU~NNEL.--It is now currently re-
ported that Maj. Henry will return here
from the East in a few days. aud the tun-
mel through Treasure Hill will at once be
commenced. The most substantial part
of the rumor is. that the have
on deposit in the White Pine County
Bank q sufficient amount Of funds to
carry the work to completion.
DANCING ScHooL.-This institution is
now being we'll attended. in anticipation
of the ladies leap year ball that is to take
place next Friday evening at Masonic
Hall. The "wall-fower" fellows now
see the necessity of knowing how to
dance, for they know the ladies will in
vite them to do SO, and they dare not
refuse.
RETRENCHING.-We see that the Board
of State Prison Commissioners have
struck al economical streak, and have
ordered all papers, not ardent admirers
of the Board, to discontinue sending
their papers. We have never had the
honor of having the Warden's office on
our subscription book.
To ARRIvE.-Judge Rives, of Phoebe,
is expected to arrive here to-day and to-
morrow will proceed to Eureka, where he
will open District Court on Monday next,
and will preside during Judge Coles ab-
QAtca in Ha1ifc~n;
CONVEYANCE TO THE PARTY.-The lady
managers OF the leap year party give no.
tice. to those who wish to attend, that they
have made arrangements with Dan Nor
ris to convey them to and from the party.
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS The Board
Of County Commissioners will meet next
Monday. and all persons having bills
against the county should present them
to-day to the clerk of the Board.

informed as yet how our fellow citizens
intend celebrating the day, but suppose
they will at least have their regular ball,
If nothing more.
