A WHOLESALE DIsCHARGE.-All

A WHOLESALE DIsCHARGE.-All
the miners working in the Bullion
mine were discharged Wednesday.
A week or so ago they we're working
IN ledge matter and running long
hand drills ahead, taking assays from
time to time. Some one took lot of
rich ore down into the mine and
"saltcd" the pulp so that the assays
were made to 60 away up into the
hundreds. OF course the deception
was discovered when the drift was
advanced, but it was impossible to
find out the guilty party, so that in
order to be sure and get the right
man the whole working force was
discharged. AS soon as the Sailing
individual is spotted" the old hands
will be taken back into the mine.

SILvERITEs BILKED. "A San Fran
cisco correspondent of The Enter
prise says: 1t may interest your
readers in Lyon County to know that
party of eleven miners from that
district, Guthrie Conway and Sam
Blair among the number, have been
shamefully bilked by the Arizona
Black Warrior Mining Company, of
which those two scoundrels A. p.
Minear and John w. Pearson are the
head. The squad were sent down to
work, being promised transportation
and wages, from this city. They we're
sent to Dos Palmos-345 miles from
the mine-under the promise that
more money would be sent to them
there TO pay their transportation and
expenses. After waiting eighteen
days, dead broke and destitute, Con-
way managed to get back here, and
finds that the company has collapsed,
and will neither furnish money to
bring them back or send them along
The boys are therefore in tight
place, as they are in desert country
without money or friends.

Mr.. L. WILSON got his face and
eyes poisoned the other day in sin
gular way. He was working on the
reservoir intended for the protection
of the Trench and Bacon mills, when
in using q sledge he got coal tar
spattered in his eyes, and went to a
can Of water and washed his face.
Soon his face commenced swelling
and almost closed his eyes. He had
to knock off for portion of one
day, and the swelling has not as yet
entirely disappeared. After the pois-
oning he learned that the can had
been used to thaw out some giant
powder, and he thinks the poisoning
came from that source.

AN UNPLEASANT TURN.-Samuel
L. Jones, superintendent of the Crown
Point mine, recently sustained quite
a severe injury, just across the bridge
OF the nose, while examining the face
Of the east drift on the 20OO-foot level
Of the mine. The face of the drift,
and the ground for distance of
thirty feet back, was filed with fine
streams Of hot water, which, bursting
throush the crevices of the rock,
created binding steam. The mouth
of the air pipe, which is usually kept
some distance back from the face,
had just been carried up to within a
few feet of the extremity of the drift.
After examining the face, and being
partially blinded by the vapor and
spray, Mr.. Jones turned quickly
back, striking his nose full against
the sharp edges of the pipe.

Special School Tax In Dayton.

To-day there will be a special
election held in Dayton to decide
whether tax shall be levied for the
purpose of continuing the school for
longer period than the public funds
will permit. Some object that the
amount proposed 1900 is too
much; that it requires but $500 to
complete this term of school, and
that the tax should not exceed that
amount. They do not take into con-
sidcration the fact that the cost of
advertising, holding an election, and
collecting this is considerable; that
it is as much for $400 as for 81, zoe /;
that, if only $500, the same amount
would be necessary every year; that
81 eco will be good for three years,
and that the amount proposed by the
Trustees will amount to tax of only
fifteen cents on each 500 valuation.
Objection to the tax also arises
from misunderstanding of the in
tentions of the Trustees with regard
to the management of the school at
the next term-hiring teacher, etc
which, if thoroughly understood, will
amount to nothing, and harmony will
take the place of the discord they
have enjoyed (O for the past year.
Voting "Tax, No, means no school
for about five months-cbildren run
ming the streets in idleness, forget
ting what they have already learned,
and getting demoralized generally.
