TIE following item We clipped from
he Carson Tribune 1--WE like to hear o
man refuse to take his home paper, and
all the time sponge on his neighbor TO
the reading OF it. We like to hear man
complain when asked to subscribe for his
home paper that he takes more papers
than he reads now, and then 60 round
and borrow his neighbours or loaf about
until he gathers in the news from it. We
like to see man run down his home
paper as not worth taking, and every
now and then beg the editor for favor
in the editorial line. We like to see
mechanic or merchant refuse to advertise
in his home paper, and then try to get a
share OF the trade which O newspaper
brings to town. We like to see these
things, it looks economical, thrifty, pro.
gressive and-cheeky."
NEIGHBoRINd DISTRICTS We hear
some very good accounts coming from
Bristol and also from Oscola. Some
rich ore has been struck in Bristol which
assays 81, 800 per ton. The character Of
the ore is entirely different from any
struck before, as instead of being for
smelling purposes it is the best kind of
milling ore. This strike will give great
confidence in that district. Some spsci.
mems Of white quartz, lousy with gold,
came in to Bill Mcdonald from Osceoa
on Tuesday, having been taken from q
claim in which Mcdonald is interested.
If there is much more of the same kind
as the specimen seen by US, somebody
has "big thing" in that district.
Information is wanted of Robert Car

disappeared from Frank Green's ranch,

ago, leaving considerable property be.
