Owing to some cause not generally
known, water is very scarce at present.
For several days past the pipes above
the Courthouse have been dry in the
afternoon and evening. This should
be remedied. as in case of FIRE there
would not be sufficient pressure on the
water flowing from the hydranss to
throw it over the lowest building in
town.

sIcDERMIr NOTES.


@ -N N ~M
The stsuatson at and About the
I There is no doubt among people
living in the vicinity of McDermi OF
the existence of Indians, who have
been hostile if they are not yet, in the
Stein Mountain country.
Company G. First Cavalry, left Camp
on the 18th with teams for Boise City.
There are detachments of Battery b,
Fourth Artillery, out along the stage
road, and less than half of Captain
Hasbrouck's command are at the Post.
A large number of Piutes are camped
within few hundred yards of the
soldiers quarters. The. hostlles, who
are supposed to have left the war path.
can very easily naingle with those
Indians. and the whites will be none
the wiser for it unless the friendly
Piutes make it known. There are in-
telligent Indians here who know the
garrison is weak, and where the ammu.
milton and stores are kept. and. for
ought that is known to the contrary,
may have given the information to
Indians who are not so friendly.
The Post commander issued an order
last week, that no soldier should leave
his quarters without being armed.
There is a disposition among the
settlers to treat all Indians caught north
of the Post at the present time as hos
tiles. This is good order. and if the
military approve of it, people will
know how to act.

He'd Deer Ore.

The owners of the Red Deer mine, in
Mount Rose District. shipped last
night. TO Torrey mill at Oreana, 49,
$40 pounds of ore. Should this yield
as fine silver, and IS much of it to ton
as the Big Prize ere recently worked
at Torrey's mill, 10 will set at rest all
doubt about the richness of the Para.
disc mines. 3

SLIGHT RAILROAD ACCIDENT. The turn out
at Fish Point wher, the Grand Trunk and
Rochester trains pass was shortened up on Sun
day to make it more convenient for the running
of the trains. The fact of the change was not
communicated to the trainmen of either road
and the result was slight accident yesterday
afternoon. 1t is customary for the Grand
Trunk train from Montreal and the Rochester
train out to lay side by side here. Yesterday as
the Grand Trunk train came down the main
line the engineer ran right along as he had
always done aud the turn out being shortened
the rear of ths Rochester train did not get out
of the way Of his engine and they came to-
gether The engine was but little damaged
and two of the Rochester cars had their sides
| rubbed pretty severely. The shea thing on one
was torn off while the other was only scratched,
| The accident did not injure any one and the
trains were not delayed. None of the train
| men were in the least at fault.
