Outside Dealers in Stocks.

The remarkable increase in mining
transactions in this city, says the San
Francisco Stock Report, during the
psst two weeks, has already been
noted and considered by the news
papers and the general public. In
the furry caused by the violent Auctu-
atoms, however, one important fea-
ture of the stock market has been
overlooked. We refer to the outside
investor. This ubiquitous individual
puts in an appearance when he is
least expected and makes himself
felt. He has happy faculty of pur-
chasing at low figures and realizing
at the right time. By the outside in
weston We mean the mau who lives
away from the coast and is supposed
to be out Of the mining atmosphere.
The present rally in stocks affords
satisfaction to q host of outside in
vestors and will have the direct effect
of bringing others into the market.
We are qualified to speak on this
subject because of the vast extent of
our Eastern and foreign subscription
lists and the correspondence involved.
Within the past ten days we have
gained 81 subscribers to the Stock
Report in the city Of Boston alone, to
say nothing of the calls from New
York, Philadelphia, New Orleans
and other large cities. This sharp
demand for our paper satisfies US thai
the outside investors in Pacific Coast
mining stocks arc rapidly increasing.
If we desired further evidence on
this poi1t we could obtain it from
the brokers themselves, for they are
in receipt Of heavy Eastern orders
for stocks.

CARBONATE POINT DISTRICT. -
Speaking of this new district the
Belmont Courier says it is situated
about ten miles west of Ellsworth,
Nye connty. and six miles south of
Lodi. The mines are represented
to be of immense value. thousands
of tons OF ore being in sight. Aver
age assays from the Lizzie Ledge
give $l41 As per ton in silver and
96 per cent. in lead Ore from the
Western Ledge assays $l31 SO per
ton in silver and 81 per cent. in
lead. The owners are sacking ore
without selecting it and shipping it
to the reduction works at Sacra-
mento. where they get the highest
rates offere at I'll g reduction works,
80 cents per ounce for silver. and
no charges for reduction. The Hi
nois Company only get rs cents pes
ounce. Water is scarce, Icing five
miles distant, but by sinking 80 feet
plenty Of water can be obtained
Wood is abundant three miles from
the mines.

WARN SPRINGS HoTEL.-Hon. J.
G. McClinton has purchased this
celebrated hotel, situated vt the State
Prison, near Carson, and has added
materially to its many comforts. The
warm swimming baths were never in
as good condition as at present, the
same being supplied with pure run
ming water, graded to suit patrons.
Pleasure seekers from Silver City
will find the Warm Springs the best
place to Wait. The prices charged
at this resort are not SO exhorbitant
as to take a summers work to pay
for one days recreation. When pass

LATEST FAsHIoNs.-The ladies of
Silver will be pleased TO learn that
gold bonncts are the latest extremes.
They are made of straw, which is
then stepped IN u bath of gold. The
trimming consist Of large velvet
bow and humming bird. 1t may
be interesting to gentlemen to know
that night shlrts are made either of
plain muslin or Of figured parcal.
They have 4 narrow huted ruifle
around the Byron collar, cuffs, breast
pocket, and the broad plat on the
bosom; the ruiile is stitched with
colored thread, and the initial of the
wearer, also in colors, is wrought on
the bosom plat. Some of the old
stiffs about town would look we'll in

A Grizzly Bear Hunt.

All the talk was "bar" yesterday.
In the morning huge grizzly-de-
scribed as being as large as two
year old heifer-was seen by drivers
of delivery wagons who had occasion
to visit Spring Valley, about two
miles from town. The news was
brought in and number Of hunters
were soon mounted for the chase.
He was followed or tracked over to
the old Daney works and into the
hills beyond. In the afternoon he
was again seen near the New York
House, where he crossed the road
in front of some quartz teams
returning from the Eureka mill.
About 4 o'clock he was seen by
some Indian boys who were hunt
ing horses in the neighborhood of the
French Gardens, at the head Of Amer
lean ravine. Several men started in
search of Mr.. Bruin at 4:30, with
what success we cannot say at this
writing. 1t is thought he will fall
an easy prey when encountered by
an armed foe, as they seldom show
fight when in the prairie unaccompa-
by their young.

DISPATCHES from Washington
foreshadow the political issue in the
West. Polh parties will demand the
restoration Of the old silver dollar.
but there seems to be this sharp diff
ference between them, that while
the Republicans demand silver for
resumption the Democrats demand
it for initiation. The former want it
TO replace greenbacks; the latter
want 1t in addition to greenbacks.
And on the initiation question the
Democrats have been beaten every
time, and, fortunately tor the coun.
try, are likely to keep on getting
beaten so long as they insist upon
fighting on that ground.-[Graphic.

CHINAMEN TO THE FRONT. = II
there is to be any fighting with the

sion by putting Cinnamon in the

O0an's Steam Wagon.

This now we'll known traction
engine started out at the appointed
time yesterday to make such prac-
teal test of its pulling capacity as
would be required of it in ordinary
road freighting. Four large freight
wagons we're loaded with lumber,
comprising in the neighborhood of
10000 feet, and with these and
right wagon loaded with men 1t
started up town taking the grade on
Tenth street, near X, in its course,
and surrounding it without diff
Guilty. Stopping for time In front
of the Sacramento Plow Company's
works, where 1t was built, to take in
coal and water, it was again started
up J street, with the intention of
taking it for a severe test through
the piece Of sandy road SO much
dreaded and avoided by all teamsters.
Being just beyond Burns slough.
and thence around to Poverty Hill,
where the steepest grade anywhere
near the city could be tried. Un-
fortunately, however, when about
half way through the above named
piece of sand, one of the cast-iron
step-boxes in which the ends of the
countershafts which transmit power
to the wheels are stopped, broke short
of, from the full force of the engines
being suddenly thrown upon it, and
caused so much damage to the gear
ing of the hind wheels as t, disable
them, and compel the deferring of
the completion of the trial until the
breakage can he repaired. The hind
wheels were therefore disconnected
from the machinery, and driven Tor
drawn altogether by the forward
wheel, it came back to town with
only the light wagon AMI its passen-
gers. The necessary repairs will be
n.a'lc to-day, and tomorrow the test
will be continued in the most thor
ough manner; tor its projectors say
they are determined to put it through
every vlcissitude likely to befall it in
active service, in order t. insure it's
durability, maintaining that the cor.
rectness of the principles upon which
it operates, beng established, through
developments of the weak points of
its construction is the near cut to
perfection. So tar as the test went
