Two bills were waiting in the bank fo
their turn to go out into the world. One
was little bill-Oniy one dollal ne o;Lcl'
was a big bill-a thousand dollar bill.
While lying there side by side they fell a.
talking about their usefulness. The dollar
bill murmnred
"Ah. if | We're as big as you. what good
| would dO. | could move in such hic,,
places. and people would be so careful of
me wherever should 20. Everybody
would admire AMI want to take me home
with them, but. small rs | am. what good
can do: Nobody cares much for me |
am too little to be of any use.''
''Ah. yes. that is SO. ~ said the thousand
dollar bill: and it haughtily gathered up
its well-trimmed edges that were living
next to Tie little bill, in conspicuous supe-
riorty.
"Tnat is So" it repeated. IF you were
as biz as | ani--l thousand times bigger
than you arr--then You might hope to DO
some good in the worll.'
And its face smiled into wrinhle of con-
tempt tor the little dollar bill.
Just then the cashier comes. takes the
little murinuriny bill an,l kindly gives it to
II poor widow.

Smiling face she receives it :; My dear
hungry children can nON have some bread

a thrill of JOY ran through the little bill
rs it WAS folded up in the widows hand.
anti it whispered:
Il may do some good, even if am
small
And when it saw the bri ght faces of the
fathcrless children it was glad it could do
Il little COOL.
Then the little dollar bill began its Jour
ney OF usefulness. 1t went first to the
baker for bread: then to the miller; then
to the lbOrer; then to the do .tor: then
TO the minister; anil wherever it went it
gave pleasure. adding something to their
comfort ana joy.

Seeing the thousand dollar bill lying there.
with scarcely a wrinkle or Il finger mark
upon it. it exclaimed:

of usefulness
The big bill sadly replied:

rich. where few coull see me, and they

The little bill said:
"lt is better to be small and go among

as to be imprisoned in the safes of the

And it rested satisfied with its lot.

Mineral Hill.

The lowest workings at Mineral Hill
have only as yet attained a depth of
$50 feet, and the enormous returns in
former years from that locality all
came from surface deposits. All the
miners who reside and work in that
locality are firm in the belief of the ex-
istence of a ledge at n greater depth,
and have the utmost faith that future
operations will prove the correctness
of the theory. Its probable pitch is
gravely discussed, and heated argu
ments often ensue AS to whether it
dips To the east. or will turn with a
westerly inclination as the vein is eX-
plored. If Captain Plummer receives
the necessary Instructions, and he is
daily expecting them, the di ,mond
drills will soon be set TO work, and the
question settled beyond any further
dispute. Ii the miners theories are
correct, the little town on the Hill has
a lively future before it.

A New Building.

The Buildings on the west side Of
Main street, % occupied by Bowen-
thai Il Calisher and DIR. A. G. Bishop,
will be torn down in a few days, and a
two-story fire.proof brick structure
will take their place. Messrs. Wood
ruff & Ennor, the owners of the prop
erty, have contemplated this improve
ment for some time, and finally decid
ed to build this fall. The lower por-
ton of the building will be used for
banking purposes, and the White Pine
Bank, of Hamilton, will be removed
from that burg and occupy the lower
floor. The second story will be divid-
ed into offices, and the location will
command good tenants. The new
building will be an ornament to the
block, and a desirable aud substantial
addition to the town.. In view of our
assured prosperity we hope TO see
other property owners follow Messrs.
Woodruff q Ennor's example.

The Centennial Guard ball at Ruby
Hill last evening was a splendid sue
cess. A throng of merry dancers
gathered at IN early hour, and the
crowd entered into the spirit of the
entertainment, whirling with graceful
abandon in the voluptuous waltz,
and tripping 1t gtily u the lively
music of numerous qnsdrilles. Not
only were the beaux and bellies of the
Hill all present, but also many amuse-
ment seekers from Eureka. The
managers paid every attention to the
wants and comforts of their guests,
and the Guards in uniform aud ladies
in the most elegant toilets made up a
very pleasant and lovely scene. The
supper by Mrs. Kavanaugh was at
once substantial aud delicious, and that
worthy lady received much praise tor
her efforts in that line. The music
was also excellent, and the strains
kept tue dancers feet flying to the best
OF time. The party broke up at a late
hour this morning, and every one
present resolved, II they were fortu-
nate enough I o reside in this locality,
they would not fail to be present at the
second anniversary.

Solicitln-.

A couple of lady members of the
Methodist Church were out yesterday
interviewing our citizens and soliciting
subscriptions to a purse which they
propose to present Rev. j. a. Gray be-
fore his departure for the annual Con-
ference. They were also asking for
siguers to a monthly subScrip ION list,
the amounts donated going TO make up
a stated salary for MIR. Gray. The stl-
pend received in the past has been
inadequate for his support, and the
gentleman will seek some other field
unless some action Is taken in the mat
ter, although the present move has
been made without his knowledge.
We should be 10th to part with Mr..
Gray. BY his Energy "A church has
been built " comfortably furnished.
His talent has been given almost gra-
tuitously To the good work, and his
eloquence has filled the edifice with a
pleased congregation. His Sunday
evening lectures have exhibited wide
research, elegant language and a hap
Ply choice of subjects. He has a pleas
ant way of interesting aud insiructing
his auditors, and clio hes the dry husks
of theology with eloquent words that
appeal to the intellectual impulses of
his hearers. The fact is, he can not be
spared from this field, and We hope
that both saints and sinners will liber-
ally respond to the ladies' solicitations.

Richmond District.

The Elko Independent has the fol
lowing regarding a new mining Sec
ton in the northern portion of Eureka
county: "a consolidation of the two
mining districts situated about fifteen
miles northwest of Carlin, and hereto
fore known as Mud Springs and
Hunter Districts, has recently been
effected, and the territory embraced
under the above names, is now, and
will hereafter, be known as Richmond
Mining District. A meeting of The
miners OF both districts was held upon
the ground, and were parties TO the
movement. A regular code of mining
laws were adopted, and II. b. Miller
was elected as Recorder. From
Robert Cullen, who recently arrived
from Richmond District, we learn that
its prospects are very flaltering.
Samples of the ore obtained, brought
here, are of excellent quality. and the
leads are reported as giving every in
dication of permauency. The Atlantic.
Colorado and Short-Horna are regarded
as among the most promising loca-
lions. a depth of twenty feet has
been reached on these. and the owners
are very %sanguine that a fortune Will
be developed in the near fusure."

is very generally and heartily COM
mended by the press of the Pacific
