A special from Hamilton says rich
gold placers have been discovered near
jeff. Davis Peak, in Eastern White
Pine. The miners are said To he maxi
ing fabulous wages, ON of them as
high as 500 a day. We would not be
surprised If there was some truth in
thu reported discovery. 1t is a gold.
bearing region. Last winter. in San
francisco, we saw a box of gold quartz
specimens, as rich and as fine as the
average California specimens, which
was sent down from that region. The
ledge from which the specimens were
taken gave promise of great value.
A.C. Cleavland assisted the n to

Mining

There has been trouble brewing on
Prospect Mountain for some days.
Recently DR.. Nesbit leased to Tom
Dealy, John Cuff aud Tim Coakley a
claim known as the Orange No. 2. 1t
is situated contiguous to the Union
mine, owned by Geo. F. Bragg and
others, and lately Incorporated with
some other claims under the name
of the Emmett Consolidated. The
Emmett people claim that the
Coakley party have taken posses
sion of the Union mine and are still
holding it by force. Judge Laspeyre,
representing the Emlnet Company,
commenced a suit in ejectment last
Monday, at the same time applying for
and obtaining a restraining order.
Sheriff Sias served the papers. but the
defendants have not yet, so we under
stand. ceased operations. Superin-
tendent Powell and Judge Laspeyre
vent up yesterday, but they were not
allowed to enter the Union tunnel, the
same being b~arricaded and defended by
the defendants. Further legal pro.
ceedings will probably be pressed or
the return Of Judge Cole from White
Pine.

Twas Thus They Met.

Yesterday afternoon one Of the men
employed at the railroad shops came
into town on business. On his way
he met and passed a man going in the
opposite direction. The mans face
seemed familiar to him, and after a
ten minutes exercise OF his memory,
it flashed upon him that il was a for
mer Phoebe acquaintance who was in
debted to him for a little loan Of
$40. 1t had been borrowed under
very ~aggravating circumstances and
never returned, and our friend had
promised himself the pleasure, if they
ever met again, of taking it out of the
carcass of the debtor. he brooded
on it all the way up town, hurried
through his business m started back
in hopes that he would meet the
same individual. Fortune favored
him and they met just below the Con-
solidated Stag pile. He accosted the
debtor, and after mutual recognitions,
demanded payment of the sum due.
The Piocher was impecunious and so
| stated, when the railroaderannounced
his warllke intentions and proceeded
TO wade in. 1t was a lively and inter.
esting set TO aud lasted until one cried
enough. That one was not the debtor
| by any means. He had Vol the fight
with ease and escaped without a
scratch. The unfortunate creditor
gathered up all that was left of himself
and crawled along toward the shop rs
fast as his manned and crippled condi'
ton would allow. while the victor
sauntered up town muttering to himsel
that that was q pretty way 10 NEE
an old friend, and he reckoned tina
the next time the id fool had a bill

proper hands and not try and scare ar

THE current number OF the North
American Review has an article by
General Mcclellan on the Eastern war,
In which he expresses the conviction
that Russia will ultimately be victo-
rious. He says that though they have
lost men and time from the mistake of
entering upon the campaign with means
inadequate to the end in view, they
have shown their ability to hold the
Shipka Pass, and in front OF Plevna as
we'll as in the direction Of the Lom have
secured good offensive and de-
fensive positions. The chances of snc-
cess, he holds, are still In their favor if
their leaders prove that they have the
ability to use Alright the admirable quail
tiles OF the Russian soldiers. In post
script to the article he alludes to the late
Russian success in front OF Kars as ap-
parently decisive OF the campaign in
that quarter, and possibly, in case Of a
favorable season, leading to the fall of
Kars and Erzeroum before winter. ''The
probabilities of important successes for
the Russians in Europe" he says, "are
still great"

A confirmation of the strange report
