Hon. PHIL. d. WRIeHT.-In his
pen portraits friend Parkinson thus
speaks of a member of the House ::
P. D. Wright, of Lyon county, is a
resident of Silver City; a native of
the State of Michigan; an engineer
by profession and a staunch Repub-
lican in politics; is SO years of age,
good looking and unmarried, al
though perfectly willing to be drawn
into the silken meshes of matrimony.
Mr.. W. has been for long time co.
gineer at the Justice mine, and is
much respected by all who have the
pleasure of his acquaintance. We
like to see men of his class in the
Legislature, for the reason, as We
have before stated, that they are de-
sirous OF learning and doing right,
and are not of the drones of society !;
on the contrary, the class of men who
make the best citizens.

RETURN THANKs.-At a meeting
of the Silver City Miners Union
held in their hall, January 16, it
was unanimously voted that vote
Of thanks be tendere to the ladies
and citizens Of Silver City, more
especially to the ladies who had
charge of the sundry tables. as well
as to the citizens for their liberal
cooperation to make the festival a
social and financial success. So
far the total receipts foot up
81 ,l66 so; expenditures about $500;
net profit to the Miners Union,
about 500. This will go long
way toward liquidating the indebt-
edness on their fine hall. and is an
other reminder Of the liberality of
our townspeople.

SEVERAL members of the Sports
mans Club of Reno were ont on a
deer hunt the other day, news hav-
ing been brought into town that
.here were two deer seen in clump
of woods about five miles from
there. Coming to the thicket they
separated and began beating the
bush. In few minutes one of the
hunters heard a noise, and saw
through the branches a cream col
ored object which he took for one
of the deer. He fred his rife and
shouted to his companions to look
out for the other deer. They also
fred, and down dropped the game
as dead as herring. One of the
the party started off to procure a
wagon to bring the deer into town,
while the others went into the
brush to pack the game ont. In
about three hours the returned
hunter rode up in company with
the rancher who drove the wagon.
On looking at the dead animals, the
rancher at once recognized his old
dun mules, that had been faithful
to him ( the past ten years. Tue
valiant hunters paid the owner $500,
and without looking after any more
deer, returned to town There is
fun at " Chamberlain's" whenever
that deer hunt is mentioned.

USEFUL PREsENT.--At the proper
time We neglected to mention the

some pair Of spring-lock handouts,
OF the very latest pattern. We have
misIaid our notes OF the speeches
made on the occasion, but remember
that they were relevant.

OUR REPORTER being at Carson

Our REPORTER being at Carson
yesterday, heard of a strange Incl
dent which occurred there, though it
does not appear in the columns of
either The Appeal or Tribune. 1t
seems there is gentleman hailing
from the eastern portion of the State
now present at the Capital, for the
purpose of engineering little "bill"
through the Legislature, whose name
is ". This gentleman is of a
convivial turn of mind, dresses we'll
and is hail fellow with all he comes
in contact with. Having on Thurs
day last lmbibed rather too much of
the ardent at some of the "bit''
houses, he wendell his way to the
only bathing establishment in the
place and asked for bath. He had
taken into the bathing room among
other things, a bottle Of brandy, some
green peppers, sage, onions, carrots,
turnips, cabbage and tomatoes. After
pouring the brandy into the tub, he
cut the vegetables in small pieces,
and then turned on the boiling water.
When the tub was filled, ne I'M
pressed, and crying out "Rock my
soul, l am going to cook myself,
jumped in. Thinking from the mans
condition when he asked for the bath
there might be trouble, the attend
ants thought it best to look in and
ascertain what was going on. They
burst open the door, and found the
man almost boiled to death. He
was Immediately taken out and car
red to the hotel where he lies in Il
precarious condition.

COASTING.


Coasting ia still raging violently
in Silver, and the contagion has
affected nearly all ages and condi-
tions of our people, from the little
boys and girls of four or five, to
their fathers and mothers. Miners
put in the time when they are off
shift as assiduously coasting as they
do extracting the rich ore of the
Justice when time is called and
they descend to the warmer regions
below. All the nice young men of
the town take their young lady
friends out at night to enjoy the
prevailing frenzy, and they do say
that some of the ladies' can make
the trip alone as skillfully as the
best.
The weather is all that could be
desired. Cloudless days and warm
enough to thaw just little, and the
nights are lovely, the nearly full
moon on the beautiful snow"
making it almost as light as day
and adding enchantment to the
eyes Of the fair, aud to the scene in
general. All nature seems to lend
aid to the sport.
We may remark for the benefit
of our distant readers that the :" lay
Of the land" in and about Silver is
decidedly favorable for the noble
industry Of coasting, as there is not
level place large enough to inter
a Piute within three miles around.
SO almost any desired declivity
may be selected to suit the timid
or the more daring. On the hill,
from the Indian camp to the school
house, a gentle descent is had, and
if you please you can turn there
and come flying down the steep
hill to Main street and land at the
Hope mill, or you may turn down
the street alongside the roadway
and go down a moderate grade to
the lower end of town.
The sleds are various in design
and workmanship. as we'll as size,
from the small affair constructed of
pine boards, suited for one person,
to the more aristocratic concerns.
with iron-shod runners, and capable
of seating two or more. Still ian
other kind are on the bob sled plan
and would seat four or five. We
noticed Que of this class, painted
blue, and looking long, low and
rakish like one of Marryat,'s pirate
craft.
Accidents and incidents have
been somewhat numerous and DR..
Blackwood's surgical skill has been
availed of In more than one instance,
we believe. OF course many laugh
able incidents occur, and these help
to prolong the interest till late
hour every evening. Below We
give a partial list of the casualties.
The worst is that of Henry Harris.
an Indian, who had three or four
teeth Knocked out, tongue cut, and
lip split. James Wakefield. tooth
knocked out, and lip cut, requiring
several stitches. John Jones had
two fingers painfully crushed. Mr..
Grant had his nose damaged. Miss
Olivia Burnell was slightly hurt.
Besides these there are many lesser
abrasions. But, then. coasting
is such fun. you know, and no doubt
the pastime will be limited only
by the continuance of the condi-

LAGER.-Yesterday at Virginia,
an Industrious German achieved
fame as beer drinker. A question
having arisen with regard to the
quantity he could drink within a
given period, he settled the matter
by draining the conte nts of lager

on. viz. ,four hours. just previous to
undertaking this job. be consumed
two loaves of German bread and
half pound of butter, and while
drinking was lying in bath tub of
blood warm water. Upon com
ple:ing the task. he was apparently
as sober AS when he drank the first
glass. There was one hundred and
seven glasses of lager in tue keg.
1t was a contest between man aud
malt, and the former won.
