cent intention OF the superintendent OF
the mill, J. Fl. Collyer, to keep going at
that rate for some time to come. When
we called at the mill q few days ago ten
stamps were hanmering away on lot OF
ore from Tocquervills and five on ore
from the Meadow Valley. During our
visit Mr.. Collyer showed US q simple but
effective remedy for stopping a boiler
from leaking, and as be did not
epjoiu secresy we will give it to
the public. 1t simply consists in in
sorting little ball at oatmeal dough in
the pipe by which water is pumped into
the boiler. The water passing
through the pipe takes the oat.
meal along with it. which. when once in
the boiler, naturally goes for the leaks.
Mr.. Collyer says he can stop boiler
from leaking by this simple remedy in
two or three minutes. So much for the
uses and purposes to which oatmeal may
be applied. The Alps is at present run
ming almost exclusively on custom ore,
and that it does its work we'll there ia no
room for doubt, some paying it the COM
pliment of shipping ore to it from q
distance of several hundred miles.
LET Us HAVE PEAcE.-Pioche has en-
ioyed but two fist arguments in the last
week. The first was caused by one of
our old county officials. who became so
overjoyed at just being relieved from the
cares and responsibilities of his Office.
and meeting fellow whom he thought
he could "get away with, he gave vent
vent to his joy by ''going for" land put
ting head on him." The second occurred
out by the Court House between
clothing merchant of this place and
Monaghan. The parties had some
words. when the first mentioned person
hauled off and planted a blow on Johns
nose. who returned the compliment by
giving the storekeeper love tap under
the jaw, after which this fierce battle
closed.
CHANGE OF T1ME.-Jack Gilmer the
great stage man of Eastern Nevada, is at
present making arrangements to change
the time OF the arrival Of the stage from
Ward City at Phoebe, and we are in
formed by Mr.. Griffin, the agent here,
that it ia likely that everything will be
put in ship shape on that route by Mon.
day, so that hereafter the stages from
that direction will arrive in town about
5 o'clock in the evening. This will be
very satisfactory news to our citizens, as
they will now be able to get their mail
before retiring in the evening.
RETuRNED.-A number of Piochers re-
turned from Leeds District on Sunday.
They don't seem to have learned much
about the country down there, for, as q
general thing. when you ask them their
opinion about it, they say that they have
none and don't know anything about the
place, as the mines are not yet developed
enough, while others express it as their
belief that the mines there will never
amount to much, and say that water can
be struck at so feet any place you
choose to sink.
THE Virginia Enterprise pays the fol.
lowing appropriate and handsome com.
pliment to our fellow townsman. Mr..
Wescoatt: Senator Nelson Wescoatt, of
Phoebe, has been in town for day or
two. Time has forgotten him. He
looks younger than he did ten years ago.
Wescoatt is good man. Notwithstanding
his political proclivities. He is an hon.
est, high-minded gentleman, and worthy
any confidence ever placed in him.
MARR1ED.--We see by the White Pine
News that J. B. Ayres and Miss Mary
Stephens, both former residents oil
Phoebe, were married at Ward on De-
cember 23d. We never thought it oil
Joe. The idea that he had designs on
any one was not for moment enter.

FROM the published decision of the
Supreme Court appearing in the Enter
