run over the Sutro track on Saturday,
November 10th, for $500 a side.
Distance 440 yards, running from
Sutro toward Dayton, in which d.
rection there is slight ascent. A
forfeit of 500 each has been put up,
and the remainder is to be forth
coming on the day of The race. The
race is exciting a good deal OF local
interest, and it is thought consider
money will change hands on the re.
suit. Van Dusen says he will run

KILLED IN THE SUccoR SHAFT
Frank Fertad0 Gonzalves was killed
in the Succor shaft. He had just
gone down on the cage with load
of wooden blocks and wedges, and
the cage had been started up again.
Soon after the cage had left the bot
tom a block, 12xl2x14 inches, fell
down the shaft and struck Gonzales
on the head, killing him instantly
The cause of the block falling is not
known. One theory is that bolt in
the bottom OF the cage sunk into the
block and carried it up some dis.
lance. The deceased was a native of
Flores, one of the Azores, and aged
about 90 years.

BULLION FOR THE CARSON MINT
Superintendent Crawford of the Car
son Mint has received telegraphic
authorization from the Mint Bureau
to purchase fine or dore bullion to
the extent of four hundred thousand
ounces fine, which is to b. paid for
at rate not exceeding one cent per
ounce fine below the equivalent of the
London rate on the day of purchase.
These purchases will, in all likeli-
hood, be authorized from time to
time, as the Carson Mint requires
them, thereby enabling that institu-
ton to keep employed to its fullest
operative capacity. That is as it
should be. The Carson Mint stands
excellently we'll in the service, for
economy, execution of unexception-
able work and honest, faithful and
able management. These facts are
thoroughly understood and appreci-
ated at Washington, and therefore we
are under no apprehension that it
will ever be left out in the cold.

Annual Expenditure on Claims.

The General Land Office has rem
dered a decision of importance con-
corning section 1924 of the Revised
Statutes, which requires certain an
nua; expenditure on all mining
claims. Commissioner Williamson
holds that the first annual expendi-
lure upon a claim located prior to
May 10th, 1879, should have been
made by the 1st day OF January,
1875, and the second by January LIST,
1875; also, that the first annual ex-
penditure upon claim located since
May 10th, 1872, should have been or
must be made within one year from
the date of discovery and location,
and that the amount required by the
local mining laws or regulations to
he expended before record of such
claims can be made may apply upon
the first annual expenditure on claims
thus held, If the other provisions of
the law have been complied with.
The second year commences immedi-
ately ON the expiration OF the first,
and the required expenditures may
be made at any time during the year.

Let every one take hold of the mat
ter literally and earnestly, and make

A SIGHT TO BEHoLp.-This from
the Elko Post: A facetious brake
man on the Central Pacific railroad
cried out as the train was about en-
tering tunnel: This tunnel is pne
mile long, and the train will be four
minutes passing through it." The
train dashed into daylight again in
four seconds, and the scene within the
car was study for painter. Seven
young ladies were closely pressed by
seven pairs of masculine arms; four
teen pairs Of lips were glued to-
gether, and two dozen inverted
whisky TASKS flashed in the air.

OVER THE DAM.

[The following was written by an Eastern
friend of Ben. H. Miller. and besides its lite
rary merit 1t points good moral.
Yes, life Is swift running river,
And It's mighty hard stemming the tide;
But the boat glides so smoothly at starting
That one feels just like letting 1t glide.
You hear the wild roar of the rapids
That below you now thunder and break,
But you think you can easily pull back
When you see the white foam in your wake.
Well. with me 1t was mighty smooth sailing
During all Of life's FIRST summer hours,
And the river sang ever so sweetly
And its banks were SO brilliant with flowers,
While the bow that hung over the torrent
Seemed halo that beckoned me there,
And the white mist that rose from the waters
Quite concealed the black gulf of despair.
To be sure passed friends as drifted
Pulling steadily up 'gainst the stream,
But ! laughed when saw how they lsbored,
Viii my boat danced along like dream.
What matter what way it was gliding.
II sailed with it up, or sailed DOWN.
Behind saw only life's struggles
And before me was pleasare-life's crown.
say passed friends pulling up streasr.
And they warned me of dangers below,
But advice is SO cheap that, when given,
It amounts to just nothing, you know.
Aud experience-welh tnat's Of some value,
But it amt always wisdom 1t brings.

FELL OFF His HoRsE.-A man
named Turner, who lives at Dayton
or thereabout. first alarmed and then
amused the people dwelling at the
lower end of Main street Monday
evening. He was seen turn bis horse
round three times and then fall off.
His foot hung in the stirrup and it
looked as though his time was about
up, but fortunately the horse was
stopped in front of Dan Harkins'
blacksmith shop, after he had been
dragged few rods. When released
from his perilous position he thought
bis leg was broke, and when he was
convinced that no bones were broken
he seemed to think he was going to die
and wanted them to send for his wife.
After little time, when he had got
sobered somewhat, he discovered that
he was not hurt at all and went on
his way rejoicing.

South End Complications.

Col. Robinson called at this Office
Monday and explained the situation
at the South End. He has been
Superintendent of the mine ever
since its incorporation, and had start
ed up the mine last week, with the
approval of the Directors, he thought.
On Friday Mr.. Overton came to the
mine with an order that work be
stopped and everything turned over to
him, as manager, which Colonel
Robinson refused to do until he heard
from headquarters. He telegraphed
to San Francisco and received a dis
patch stating that the company had
decided to not bear the expense
of a Superintendent at present and
wished him 10 turn over the property
to MIR. Overton. The next day the
Colonel went to Mr.. Overton and
onered to give over the mine if his
salary was paid up to date, which the
latter was not authorized to do, and
said he would have nothing more to
do with the matter. Work is sus.
pended and affairs at the mine are
.statu quo.
Colonel Robinson expresses strong
faith in the future of the South End
The ledge, 80 far as prospected, is
very promising, and he thinks the
company, by sinking 800 feet deeper
will find a good body of ore. One
year of energetic work would very
probably put the mine on a paying
basis. In answer to dispatch re.
4uesting him to go to San Francisco
tor an amicable settlement, Colonel
Robinson left for below Monday even
