A consumptive looking grocery clerk
hired a gun, on Sunday last, and started
out after rabbits. He climbed the ridge
east Of town, and when he saw the gulch
on the other side, concluded he would rest
awhile. lie sat on a big rock hunting
game, with a long spy-glass, for four hours,
when along came q misunderstanding indi-
vidual, who said he wished he had that
gun for half an hour. In answer to in
quiries, he merely pointed to some pig
tracks and told the clerk they were made
by mountain sheep, and that the tracks led
right over q certain mountain, about three
miles away, but in sight. The clerk ''lit
out" at a d~iscouraging gate, even to u
professionals, and the gunmaker says he'll
have to advertise for the gun by tomorrow
morning, II the fellow don't get back be-
fore that time.

WAS IT A

The OF q MAN Found I'm
the Saxcbrush Near Rose Creek.
From the ssilver State" of October 5th.l
Bob Slade. of Mill City, informs us that
Jim Curtis and Willie Nelson. while riding
through the sagebrush below Rose Greek
last Thursday, found the remains of a man
in an advanced state OF decomposition,
about a hundred yards from the railroad.
The body was well dressed, and in the
pockets Of the clothing they found letters
showing that the man was named Melon
aid, and that he was highly recommended
by a man named Paine, who is in business
in New York. The given names Of Melon
aid and Paine our informant had not
learned. The body was in . lonely place
between Rose Greek and Raspberry, rarely
visited by white men or Indians, and its
discovery was the result Of an accident.
No one, 30 far as we can ascertain, knows
anything about the person found dead,
and in all probability it will never be
known how he came TO his death in that
out-of-the-way place.

The following is the official letter Of the
Hamburg Mining Company for the week
ending October 5th:
D. A. JENNINGS, Secretary-Dear Sir:
Since my last there is but little change to
note in the slopes above the 250-foot level.
They continue to look well, and are yield
ing their regular quantity Of good ore.
In the northeast drift from the top Of the
winze on the 250-foot level we have just
cut into the ore body which extends down
from the old works, but have not yet
opened it up sufficiently to form any idea
Of the size Of the ore body at this point.
There is no change to note in the slopes
below the 250-foot levels. Near the end of
the south drift on the 450-foot levels we
have sunk q winze rs feet on the vein. The
ore is about three feet wide, and of extra
good quality.
The 6O0-foot drift is at present in very
hard limestone.
We shipping ore to the fur
naces for reduction during the week.
]. G. POWELL, Superintendent.

Wncro -FOUR edge Of H1gh-Grade
Ore Can be Traced for Miles.
The Lyon County Times says that L.
G. Van Aukin and I. +. Keith, the discov-
erers Of the mineral wealth Of Red Canyon.
have apparently again stumbled upon q
new mining district. This time. however,
1t is about $50 miles east Of Silver, and 40
miles this side Of Austin. There are four
lodges, between three and six feet in width,
which can be traced on the surface for
miles. Assays Of 4 piece from each ledge
went as follows: 1881 go, S575, SSI so,
$3l9.S0 70. The discoveries say that now they
know the looks Of that ore they can select
$4,000 ore from almost any part Of the
groupings OF either ledge. The country
seems 70 be virgin ground, a. not a pick
mark could be seen on either OF tho lodges
when discovered by Messrs. Van Aukin and
Keith.

In tearing down the old furnaces yester-
day, we noticed that most Of the stone
was unfit for use, and were informed that
but few Of them would be used in the re-
construction. They will be built Of stone
some Is or 20 feet in hight, and will then
be topped out with sheet-iron smoke
stacks.
A serious accident resulted from the
breaking OF a scaffolding that was erected
TO aid in putting a monster smoke stack in
position. Three men fell down about IS
feet, and Mr.. Malcolm MeLane received
injuries about the head and neck that may
result fatally !; a Mr.. Griffith had his ankle
dislocated, and Dave Siliphant was slightly
injured.
A new wall, 40 feet long, is being added
to the east side Of the furnace ground, and
when that is finished the large boiler and
engine will be placed in position.
The old furnaces are all Town this morn
ing.
Seventy-nine men were working upon
the grounds yesterday, that we saw.

A Marriage that was 70 have Come
on Last Evening, % Didn't.

A Marriage that was 10 have Come
on Last Evening, but Didn't.
For the past two weeks, dame runner has
been telling u people Of q suit to be
brought by a fair lady Of Eureka. against a
gentleman we'll known in this community,
for a breach Of the marriage promise.
Rather than have his fellow men believe
that he was not . man Of veracity, and,
perhaps, repenting Of the heartaches he
was causing the damsel. he sought her and
renewed his promises previously made,
and with a view to their fulfillment OBJ
tanned o license from our bachelor County
Clerk, who remarked, ssD--n him; l envy
the fellow" Armed and equipped with
the license, the would-be husband next
sought Justice Cromcr, and arranged to
rave him tie the knot in accordance with
the statutes of the State OF Nevada, in
such cases made and provided. At the
bour appointed, to wit: 8 o'clock, October
Z, 1878, the Judge donned his very best
harness, and repaired to the hotel desig-
mated, having in view a liberal fee, as he
well knew the liberal nature OF the soon
to-bs husband. The bride and groom were
in waiting, and were soon upon the noor,
with their hands joined. Thu gentleman
bashfully, yet promptly, made his responses.
1t now became the duty OF the bride to re-
spond, and when the usual question was
put to her, "Will you have this man to be
your welded husband? r the response came
quick and angrily, ssNo, I WON'T" and,
tearing herself away from the man who had
already promised 10 ssprotect and cherish"
sailed majestically from the room, under
the protection Of her maternal parent.
OF course the gent was embarrassed, but
when the fleeing bird had disappeared from
his gaze, he recovered his equinimity, and
invited the assembled guests to partake Of
the very best the house afforded, which
was two baskets Of champagne and edibles,
gotten up in the very best style. Mr.. 3.
says this is bis first attempt at marriage,
and swears it shall be the last.

Sight Restored for Ten Minutes.

Mrs. Abbott, who resides within few
miles of Pitts Point, in this county, had
a singular circumstance happen to her
one day last week. She has been totally
blind for about eight years, but for about
ten minutes on the day in question, she
recovered her sight and was enabled
during that brief period to see every
thing about the house, something she
had not been able to do for eight years
before. The house had recently been
newly papered and painted, and when
total blindness came over her again she
described accurately the various colors
used in the papering and painting. Her
son had married since she lost her sight,
and she had never seen her daughter iu-
law, but in the period she was restored
to sight she saw her, and afterward de-
scribed her appearance accurately. The
momentary ecstacy occasioned by the
miraculous restoration to sight was as
suddenly dissipated by its equally in
Simultaneous loss, aud she is now as blind
as ever, This case is one of singular in.
