PER AND SCISSORS.

Says the SttUer State: Very favor
BILE reports are received from the pla-
Ger mines on Flat and Willow creeks,
some sixty miles north of Winnemu III
ca, on the Idaho road. Lovejoy and
Jackson, two old miners, have found
prospects hat they think will pay well,
| and have been at work for some time
past in digging a ditch to get water on
the ground. The gold is coarse, and it
is thought there are rich gold bearing
quartz veins in the vicinity.
We learn from the Enterprise that
the streets of Virginia continue crowd
ed with idle men. The temperate
weather, so extraordinary for this sea-
son, averts much suffering. Working
men out of employment are very fool
ish to remain upon the Comstock at
present, if they can possibly get away.
During this week, says the Elko
Independent, twenty-four passengers
have left here on Smith VanDrielen's
stages, bound for Tuscarora and Corn
ucopia, and nine passengers have ar
rived from those places. The roads
between here and the north are in eX-
cellent condition.
Gertie Hazlett, the little ten-year-old
daughter of DIR. j. C.. Hazlett, of Day
ton, as she was going from her fathers
residence to his store, the other day,
slipped and fell to the ground, break
ing her left forearm in two places.
The Virginia Chronicle says: The

National Guard Hall will appear, and
Robert Lindsay will take the leading
character in NAVAL Engagements.'
Johnny Dillon and Billy Warner have
offered their valuable services, and the

PREPARING to Protest.

One of the Elko county Assembly
men has a protest signed by residents
Of Pine Valley, TO be used against the
passage of the bill changing the county
boundary and giving the Mineral Hill.
strip to Eureka. The protest is made
on the ground that the Commissioners
of Eureka county intend building a
large and expensive Courthouse and
are laying a trap to make the residents
of the strip help pay for it at a large
increased rate of taxation. Parties
from Elko have visited every one liv-
ing on tho disputed land and secured
signatures to the protest by such a
story.

A Few Timely Words from Medical
Authority.
From tho Virginia Chronicle.l

From tho Virginia Chronicle.1
The prevalence Of diptheria in San
Francisco and the interior of Califor.
MIA, and the likelihood of its making
its fatal advent at any time, render the
remarks OF a medical authority on the
subject of con siderable interest. He
says:
The origin of diptheria is a mystery.
Most physicians. believe, think that
sewer gases started it. 1t is a germ
disease, like small pox, and is commu-
nicable. II often seizes robust chill
dren, who, at the fuperals of play
mates, or in school or church, are ok.
posed to its direct influence. The dip
theritic poison, impregnating the air
passages of the patient, affects the en-
tire system. The al r-passage impreg-
ration speedily changes into inflam-
nation, accompanied by the formation
Of membrane. Fever follows. The
poison begins to act as soon as it falls
upon the tissues of the air passages,
but doesn't sensibly affect the patient
until two to five days later. Then be
fells great prostration, his throat is
dry, and he has pricking pains in
swallowing. The throat reddens,
white membrane appears in patches,
and the glands swell. I~n,atal cases the
fever increases, the throat inflamma-
ton spreads and general exhaustion
follows. The diptheritic poison clings
long to rooms and may occasion
death months afterwards. Diptheria
prefers, seemingly, children be-
tween one and ten years of age;
the average age of its victims
now is about two years. Neither heat,
nor cold. rain nor drought, affect it.
Cleanliness and pure air everywhere
in a dwelling tend to avert and m.ti-
gate it. Where it exists no child
should be permitted to kiss strange
children, particularly when they have
sore threats, or even to play with their
toys. When any child in a family has
a sore throat, the other children should
be kept rigidly apart, in dry, we'll
ventilated rooms. Every throat affec-
ton should be promptly treated. The
sick child should be watclfully nursed
in a well-ventilated sunlit room. Men
who live in the best localities are as
tonishsd that their children die. 1t is
not at all marvellous; half of the So
called best houses are not fit to live in.
One-half OF their owners, | am conf
dent, ha We never been in their own Gel
lars. They fill their drawing-roons
with satins and gliding, but give no
heed to the drain-pipes. Often five
dollars would have saved a loved
child's life, if %seasonably spent in re-
pairing a defective drain-pipe. A few
days ago | went into the cellar of a
great stone house. The current of
sewer gas, rushing directly up TO the
bedrooms, put out my candle, and left
me to grope my way out in darkness.
If a hospital could be established in
which children suffering with dipthe-
ria could be isolated, it would be the
saving of many lives.

The first soiree of the Old Mems
Heather Association for the present

arranged by this association, was very

Caught at His Tricks.

Some weeks since Eureka was hon
ored by a visit from a blonde hair fell
low who registered himself at the In
ternational Hotel as Mr.. Forbes, Just
from the East, and largely interested
in the grain business. Among the
Chinese residents here he sported the
name Of Gibson and sue eeded in OBJ
tanning quite a sum of money from
them in consideration OF the services
he was to perform in teaching them
English, for which purpose he had So
cured st. James Church as a school
house. He worked himself into the
good graces of VIM. Sweeney, run a
livery bill, tried to negotiate a draft
drawn on Milton S. Latham, of San
Francisco, and then suddenly finding
out that the high altitude of our town
had a demoralizing effect on his con-
stitution he suddenly left for parts mn
known. His departure was just i'll
time, for warrants for his ap,,ceten-
sion had been issued and officers on
his track. How ne eluded them is u
mystery; but he did, and nothing had
been heard of him until the following
appeared in one of our Western ex-
changes, from which we recognize the
photograph of the individual above
referred to. Says the Gold Hill News:
"For the past two days a confidence
man answering to the name of A.. L..
Flint, has been operating in Carson
City. Yesterday he went to Doc. j..
M. Benton, the ell-known livery man
of that town and represented that he
was agent for j. G.. Jacson, saddlers
and harness makers of San Francisco,
and on the strength of these repre-
sensations borrowed a sum of money
and hired one of Benton's best teams
for a days drive. During the after
noon Mr.. Benton learned hat he had
played a similar game at Eureka, Elko
and Battle Mountain. j n the eastern
portion Of the State, and presenting a
bill for the money and services rem
dered, got the fellow to sign his name
as agent of the firm he pretended to
represent. Shortly after this Benton
swore out a warrant and safely lodged
his man in Jail. Since his arrest the
Sheriff Of Ormsby county has received
a dispatch that the fellow is wanted at
Eureka, where he vas operating be-
fore his arrival at Carson. Flint is
about twenty-five years of age, and
has rather a prepossessing and favor.
able appearance. The chances are
10 very favorable for his getting a
just reward for his operations"

Special Train.

The special that came over tho road
Sunday evening with General Dodge
and others, made some remarkable
time for our narrow-gauge. Leaving
Palisade at half-past four it arrived at
Eureka at a quarter Of eight. The ac-
tual running time was less than three
hours, and on some portions OF the
road the time would have done credit
ioa broad gauge. Between the point
known as the Switch, at the head of
Diamond valley, and Diamond Station,
the four miles were run in five min
ntes. Considering the grades and
curves, the run is an extraordinary
one, but Assistant Superintendent
Ford, who had charge of the train,
claims he could beat it If necessary.
