About year ago Van Aukin and
John Mullins of Dayton discovered
and located quartz lode on Red
Canyon, six miles southwest of Kinds
Hot Springs, and about forty miles
from Dayton. They did nothing with
1t at the time, but parties have now
taken hold of It, by whom it will be
properly developed. A shaft has
been started and sunk to the depth Of
about ten feet, bringing to light
quartz that is plentifully sprinkled
with small wires and spangles of free
gold. 1t is no trouble to ind speci
mems that will assay from 100000 to
10000, but what is wanted is to find
plenty Of ore, the average of which
will pay we'll for working. The vein
is from three to three and half feet
in width. In the canyon below the
ledge is a stream of water sufficient
to run small mill. At no time in
the year is there less than twenty five
inches of water in the canyon. The
mine is called the Red Bluff. A good
substantial shaft will at once be sunk
on it. It is said that between Kinds
Hot Springs and Wellington's station
much float rock, very rich in gold, is
to be found in many places on the
surface; also, that much float rich in
silver has been found. As yet how
ever, the lodges from which this float
came have not been found.-[E Enter

Crookedness in washoe County.

Some months since considerable
excitement was caused in Washoe
county by the report of the grand
jury, in which it was shown that the
county officers had charged exorbi'
tant and unlawful fees, which had
been allowed by the Commissioners.
The local papers took opposite sides
of the matter and there was a good
deal of comment ON the affair, and
the people were led to doubt the
charges made. Another grand jury
has been investigating the affairs Of
the county, and the report submitted
last week shows Enthusiastically that
the county officers have been. in the
habit of presenting bills largely in
excess of their lawful fees. In con-
clusion the grand jury asks the Board
of Commissioners ITO proceed accord
ing to law and correct the said abuses
in the interests of the people, and
with respect to the law concerning
cases of misconduct In Office"

CAPTAIN CURTIS, Superintendent o

CAPTAIN CURTIS, Superintendent OF
the Justice mine, returned from San
Francisco Sunday. He says that the
reports that the bonanza firm are after
Justice are incorrect. The presen,
managers hold majority of the
stock in their own hands, and at the
coming election will vote over $4,000
shares. As the reports are calculated
to cause demand for the stock, on
the supposition that there will be q
contest for the control, he thinks
they should be corrected, and the
public thus placed on their guard.

TRERE is good opening for fast
freight and passenger line from Vir-

Ell Dorado Canyon and Kinds Springs

ADJUSTMENTS.

Nick Roberts "Humpty Dumpty"
troupe are playing in Piper's Opera
House to large audiences. There
will be matinee performances this
afternoon at 2 o'clock. An Eastern
paper says of the troupe: "Since
Fox left the stage, the public have
doubted whether worthy successor
could be found. There need be no
further doubt; Grimaldi is greater
than Fox, and the entertainment
which Mr.. Roberts has provided ID
more excellent than the Fox company
ever presented. Almost every actor
IL a specialist. The Almonte Brothers
and Grimaldi are remarkably good
acrobats. The beautiful Louise b.
shell, as modest as she is beautiful,
is wonderful performer on the slack
wire, as we'll as the most sprightly
and engaging Columbine we have
ever seen. Miss Jennie Miaco, the
fairy queen, is skipping rope dancer,
who was recalled SO many times Sat-
urday evening that she was exhausted.
The power of Grimaldi to convey his
thoughts by facial expression is al
most beyond comprehension, SO per-
feet is his mastery of the facial
muscles. His acting was natural and
irresistible. Mr.. Roberts deserves
the highest credit for bringing this
excellent company together"
