A Gard 10 the Public.

For many years we have made
two medicines suited to the ailments
Of q vast, class of Sufferers. Thous.
ands OF cures have been made by
them, and, In fact, the word failure
could not be coupled with them.
But within the last two years coun-
terfeits of our medicides have sprung
Up, dangerous in their close imitation
of our Trade Mark To secure the
people we have placed upon each
genuine box of Holloway's Ointment
the fac simile of the signature Of our
agent, Mr.. Jos. Haydock. To coun-
terfeit is felony. We shall relent-
lessly pursue any one who initiates
this with the utmost vigor Of the
law. We most earnestly beg that
the great mass of the American PEG.
pie will aid us in our efforts to pro-
tect their health, and help us in our
task OF bringing these most unprin-
cipled men to the bar of justice.
Uniformly refuse to purchase Medi-
cines purporting to be ours unless
Mr.. Jos. Haydock's signature is at
tached to each box Of Pills or pot of
Ointment, and the end will soon be
reached.
The public's obedient servants,

Beautiful Creature.

There 10 a young lady in Silver
who has eighteen beaus-more beaus
than years. In order of plurality
there are five miner beaus, three
teamster beaus, two merchants clerk
beaus, two engineer beaus, two prin.
ter beaus, two mill.men beaus, and
two elbows.-ILyon County Times.
How about the bows on her hats,
dresses, etc.9 1t is getting to be the
season for rainbows, too; why moi
get her one or two of them; or, since
she is such an arch little capid, get a
Pluto bow to practice archery with
Some day she'll make a mistake and
draw some of her beaus into a knot,
and then she'll be worse of than
though confined in the bilboes. What
Q glorious get-even some. Of her re-
jected beaus will then have! There
never was a goose SO gay but that
some day or other a silly gander
came that way and kissed her for her
mother Enterprise.

The Carson Tribune, editorially,
says: Senator Westerfield, one of the
Democratic Senators, cast his vote for
General C. c. Batterman for Warden.
This was eminently proper, the two
gentlemen being personal friends,
and Senator w. having been elected
by Republican votes, could well
afford to sink party and support his
old Republican friend. Wehave no.
ticed all through Mr.. Westerfield's
Senatorial career thus far desire to
do what he deemed to be the correct
thing, regardless of party feeling. We
do not flatter the gentleman when we
pronounce him painstaking, honest
legislator. Whilst claiming to he a
strict partisan, we have, to our sor-
row, often straved from party lines,
and believe it to be a dangerous thing
to DO, especially in such times as the
present; but in legislative matters it
behooves representatives to ignore
party feeling when the interests of the
people are at stake. We admire SEN
ator Westertield's legislative acts, and
wish that other and older Legislators
would follow his example.

ALL GoNE.-The funded indebt-
edness of Lyon county has entirely
disappeared, or so much thereof as
has boon presented for redemption.
Only ten warrants are outstanding,
and they are supposed to have
been destroyed. A few days ago
Thomas Friel, the principal holder
of the bonded debt of the county
presented his warrants and received
something like $1,000. the balance
known to be in existence. With
our efficient corps of county officers
Lyon county will be on cash basis
before 1878.

TEMPORARY SUSPENSION. - tt

Kossuth mine, owing to necessary
repairs to the hosting machinery,
is to be partially closed down.
Only enough men will be employed
in and about the mine to keep the
pumps running. The mine, we are
assured by thoroughly competent
authority, was never looking better
than at the present time. The ore
body on the 500-foot level is certainl y
very fine, yet stockholders are ioath
to put up money during panic to
properly work the mine. So the
superintendent, by the consent of the
directors, has decided to partially
suspend work for a short time. There
is no difficulty experienced in keep
ing the water under control with the
present pumping facilities, so no par
ticular damage will be done by the
suspension. We hope at an early day
to record the starting up of work in
the Kossulh, for we feel that it but
requires development to assure to the
stockholders of the mine a bounte-
GUS return for their investment.

The COMPROMISE BILL.-Yester-
day the Senate Committee ON Ways
and Means held meeting to con-
sider the bullion tax compromise.
No definite conclusion was arrived at,
but an effort is to be made by the
committee 20 evolve from all the
matter before them bill that shall
be just and satisfactory to all parties
concerned. 1t is believed that such
will be the final result of the present
agitation of the subject.

Valentines Day in Silver City.

Wednesday brought palpitation to
female hearts and trepidation to
masculine ones-the former expect
ing and receiving pretty missives,
beautifully wrought, perhaps inlaid
with silver cupids and cooling doves,
sweet-scented and bearing sweeter
verse, indicating the sentiments of
the sender; the latter dreading the
"sells" likely to reach them through
the post-office, and in truth they were
not permitted to escape the infection.
Many of these received comic valen-
tines burlesquing their business call
ing or peculiar traits, and much mer-
riment was enjoyed by the friends of
the victims. A series bearing the
heading ''self-made men," in pencil,
was sent out from the post-office, and
some suspect that our worthy P. M .,
Mr.. Davenport, was chief promoter
of this lot. One of these reached
this Office, addressed to the editor
an outrageous caricature, followed by
poor verse:
o, you ugly, miserable editor,
Will you never write any better;
Your dull jokes, and duller leaders,
Arc devilish bore to your million readers
Now we don't mind being carica-
tured in red, blue and drab, but to
be rubbed down" with such horrible
verse is just a little more than We
would take from any except valued
personal friend The proprietor of a
certain variety store received one
representing skeleton looking man
in undress walking the floor to quiet
the baby. A certain druggists valen-
tine represented two cupids trying to
get away with two hearts with but
single arrow. A clerk at Sperling's
was not delighted ut the receipt of a
grotesque couple waltzing, with the
line, II was the pride of the ball,
dear boys" A delivery clerk at
grocery store was made unhappy by
cartoon representing him coaxing
his incipient mustache with cream, a
huge cat sitting by to complete the
tonsorial part. And many others
were not forgotten by their friends,
but we have not learned the exact de-
gree of their distress.
OF the gentler sex we will not
write much. The young ladies
in town where they have
SO many beaus, would not be
forgotten. But as we could not learn
the contents OF the sentimental mis-
sives, of which there were many, we
will take our revenge by saying
nothing of the comic ones which they
showed to their friends. We opine,
however, that the shafts of cupid
have not failed of the mark, and the
dear little hearts are, doubtless, yet
quivering from the numerous wounds.

THE CALICO BALL.-Therc was a
gay company of fair ladies and gal
liant gentlemen in Miners Union Hall
last night, and the enchanting music
lured them to pleasant worship at the
shrine of Terpsichore. The ladies
we're looking their sweetest, and the
gents we're not wanting in effort to
increase their smiles. The hall was
we'll filled, and the scene was ami
mated-almost fairy-when the vast
floor undulated to the step Of numer-
Gus quadrille sets. The festivities
we're prolonged to late hour.

PLACER MININa.-A good deal of
placer mining is being done in this
vicinity and toward Dayton during
the melting of the snow from the
hills. With plenty of free water, a
large extent of ground would pay for
working. There are several mining
enterprises, however, in steady opera
tlon. having water from the stream 10
Gold Canyon or that pumped from
some of the mines.

JUsTICE.-All the ore slopes are
looking and yielding we'll, the daily
yield being 375 tons of good milling
ore. In the south crosscut on the
700 level large body of low grade
ore has been developed at a point
much further east of anything before
found in that portion Of the mine.
The southeast drift on the 800 level
is in favorable looking material sim
liar to that uncovered on the 1000
level. In the southeast drift on the
1000 level, body of ore assaving
from $50 to 500 was discovered, but
the flow of water increased to such a
degree that the work had 10 be stop
pod in order to allow the water to
drain,

California Mining Company. In the
