A TOUGH LITTLE WANDERER

The Elko TnIepcm7rnt relates the following
story of lost child
A letter received from Wells by X. L.
Hamill at this place, last night, stated that
great excitement prevailed on account OF the
loss of little tive-year old son OF +. ). Kos
sitter, citizen of that place, news of which
had just reached Wells. The facts of the
distressful affair are as follows; The parents
had gone to a wood ranch from which the
father was hauling, some twelve miles east of
town, taking the boy with them About
o'clock on Monday last the little fellow
wandered out of sight, and being missed
about fifteen minutes later, search was made
but without result The parents were now
thoroughly alarmed, and half distracted con
tinued the search. finding his trail the follow
ing morning, which was pursued distance OF
ten miles, where it was found he had lain
down. From there his track was followed to
the foot hills of independence mountains,
when striking gravel ridge it was lost, and a
long time vas consumed before it was again
found.
News of Tho IS having reached town, a
large party of citizens Joined i'll the search,
and it was discovered that the child had
crossed the railroad track, and turning had
gone back, but diverging from his previous
line of travel Still following his trail it led
the anxious party over range of hills and
up a narrow valley about twelve miles further,
when, according to a dispatch received this
evening, the little fellow was found, and
wonderful to relate, not only alive, but APP
parently without having seriously suffered.
That child under five years of age could
have survived four days in those hot, dry
desert hills. without food or water, is in
credible, but that such are the facts appears
undeniable.
From Monday until to-day is four days
that he was lost, and from what we learn, no
water was found near his trail from first to
last, and 50 young child would, under the
circumstances, have but slight resources for
procuring food.

SOME INDIAN ITEMS.

The Elko independent of July 20 has the
| following interesting Indian items:
A brief communication from Hon. E. Pen
rod, published in the IndeDenaent short
time ago, stated that the strange conduct of
the Indians at Island Mountain had seriously
alarmed the few whites at that camp and
as precautionary measure, the guns were
taken from the natives A letter of later date
from the same source, infornsus that the
Indians, on finding that their conduct only
brought determined opposition, and as the
whites didn't appear to scare worth a cent.
'Lo' weakened directly. assuming the usual
friendly character. To make assurance doubly
sure, h0weve', before their arms were re-
turned to the indians, fort was constructed,
from which, As the writer expresses it, ''We
could whip the whole tribe" He adds,
mining is done for the season here; no water
and after having bought rifles and ammu-
milton, and built a fort, there is little pros
pect of being favored with fight.
A bret but stirring episode IN the cventful
life of that old pioneer, c. Washington Mar
dis, while on his way from Tuscarora to his
home in the fastness of the majestic Bruneau,
a few days ago, is also recoded by the writer.
The report OF G. w. is as follows: When near
the old Friend station--now deserted -
three mounted savages suddenly appeared
and attempted his capture by cutting off his
retreat; but being better mounted than they
after a race of about four miles, succeeded in
distancing them, and arrived i'll camp con
siderably scared, but in no wise hurt
An attempt to brighten Austin, an old time
resident of this place, who is now living at
the Rogers ranch in that vicinity, was made
by some young bucks in similar manner,
but as he began developing dangerous synp
toms, they qaickly announced that they were
merely funnng, and it is generally thought
that the raid on Mards was prompted by
similar desire. Those playful savages may,
however, indulge their passion for joking
once too often by catching a Tartar

Rattlesnakes are not very plentiful or

quite "a lively encounter before he succeeded
in exterminating them. He brought the
trophies to town last evening, and dropped
into the Leader office to exhibit them Pros
pectors and miners in that locality will do
well to keep sharp look out for the reptiles.

A TREE TUNNEL.

TLe Stockton Independent makes known
the following interesting facts
When the story that there were trees in
California so large that tourists could ride
through their hollow cavities ON horseback
was waited back to the East, amazement and
iLcredulity knew no bounds. This wonder
has now got to be an old story, and it has
recently been eclipsed and put in the shade
by the cutting of a tunnel thrOug h the stump
OF one of the largest trees that ever grew-a
tunnel SO large that coach and six horses
NAV drive through it. The tree is the dead
Giant" in the Tuolumne Grove, and the cavi-
~ cut through it is twelve feet high and ten
fee. wide, leaving ten and half feet of tree
on each side of it. Ii was first opened
the 18th ult., when u stage bearing the fol-
lowing party drove through it: j. NJ. Hutch
jrcs, Miss Mary Thompson, r. j. Chapman
and wife, Rev. Geo. c. SAKE, wife and son,
Miss :. f. Proctor and Mr., M. Hedges.
They were the first to drive through the tun-
mel, SINCE which time all travellers by that
route enjoy the same experience. The
hole is large enough to form "a complete
shelter for a locomotive or box car. 1t is
reported that a refreshment saloon or a way
side iuu is to be cut out of the tree on one
side, la cutting the tunnel the axmen found
a large cavity excavated by fire, two and a
hall feet from the outside of the tree. The
cavity had been entirely overgrown and
covered up by the wood, and in counting the
c0hcentrc rings of growth they estimated
that the fire must have occurred 420 years
ago, or some forty years before Christopher
GOiunhus discovered America.

The REMOVAL OF THE JONES MILL--Says
the Aurora Herald of July 20:

warrant, the splendid mill of Senator Jones at
Panamint will be removed to Candelaria and
there set up to work the ore from the new
discovery.

PIUTE SrRGERY.-The Bodie Stdm70d of
Saturday tells AS follows Of an example OF
Piute surgery as opposed to the more scien-

Piute known AZ Lewis was ont hunting
few days since and while crossing rocky
ledge, he stepped on a large boulder which
slipped from under him and he fell and the
rock rolled ON his lee, DR. Berry was sent
for and found the leg had been badly frac-
tured about half way between the knee and
the ankle. He bandaged it up, and as soon
as he left the Piutes, for some reason, took
the bandages of and fixed it more to their
notion. The Doctor went up again and fixed
the leg but the Plutes repeated their former
action so DIR. Berry declined to have any
thing further to do with the matter. DR..
Blackwood and Judge Whitman went to the
Piute camp and endeavored to get their con-
sent to the removal of Lewis to the County
Hospital at Bridgeport, but they would not
permit him to be moved, and the poor wretch
may die on account of the ignorance of his
friends

MINING FOR GOLD ON THE HEAD
WATERS OF THE CARSON

The Alpine Signal of Wednesday informs
us as follows:
A party of miners, five III number, have
been camped near Hangman Bridge, on the
Monitor branch of the Carson river. for sew
eral days past, prospecting the sand bars
along the river, and the surrounding hills
With what success the party are meeting we
have not learned, but we think their chance
a good one All the wash dirt and sand bars
along the river for miles, both above and be
low here, contain more or less fine gold. That
it has been washed down during high water
from some ledge deposit above is evident:
and we think that if it could be traced up the
river to the place from whence 1t is cOntin-
ually washing away and gathering along the
banks below large deposits might be found.
Only few years ago, some s., 500 was taken
out near Horseshoe Bend, ten or twelve
miles below here. 1t was the same quality of
gold as that which is traceahle along the river
bank, and in all probabilities was washed
down from the sauc place. Aud Il such large
quantities wash down and gather below what
may there not be above! We certainly think
there is something in this, and that it would
be well worth the while for some one to make
an effort to tnd the treasure which We have
every reason to believe lies hidden some where
on the headWaters of the Carson.
