A Long WaIk 10 Get Married.

A domestic event has transpired here
Of much interest to our secluded COM

Lambier and Mr. John Vaughan. To
get a marriage license, the bridegroom

Burk's (nine miles,. Mr.. Burk not
being at home, Vaughan was sent to-
where he was working, a distance of
twenty-four miles from the residence.
Mr.. Burk sent him back to the house for
form, and upon his return gave him
license, and Vaughan proceeded with it
home to the brides, eighteen miles fur
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS miles SO far. Then
they went to the Rev. MI. Gilmour's, a
distance Of twelve miles, were there hap
PLY united, and returned home to her
house another twelve. Total for her,
twenty-1our miles, aud for him 1913
miles. in the ardent pursuit Of matri-
mony. Needless to say that all this
distance was travelled on foot. Free

How Winter Serves Mr.. " Lo.,,

The sudden advent Of cold weather
caught Mr.. Indian mapping, he having
not yet put his house in order and ex-
changed his linen buster for a beaver
overcoat lined with sealskin. The old
man and his wife, and his son and
daughter, likewise his aunt and his
mother-in-law, turned out of their
wickiup early this morning, and the
whole family might have been seen
shivering over the bonfres built on Main
street of the rubbish swept out from the
stores. Last week the noble son of the
forest elevated his nose and uttered an
unseemly ejaculation when offered work.
To-day he goes around pleading for a
chance to chop a little wood, saying :
" Heap cold me heap dam hungly. -

c. W. Hinkey brought here from his
ranch in Paradise Valley a drove of
barley fed hogs, which he disposed of
to Chinese. The hogs are being dress
ed here and will be shipped to the
Chinese camp in Spring Valley. near
the Eagle mine, where large number
of Chinese are engaged in placer mining.
II is stated that within the last six
months these mines have yielded nearly
$l00.0 600 in gold dust. About that
amount is known to have been sent to
California, but it is suspected by those
familiar with the habits of Chinese
miners, that many of them hide their
dast until they get ready to leave. and
thus save the cost of expressage to San
Francisco. They rarely purchase any,
think, except pork. of the whites, and
either send or take their money to
