LOVELY WOMAN.
A Married Remote Disc0urses on
Her Peculiarities.

"Women are curious creatures, :"
observed an old married Remote
last evening to Gazette reporter,
and then fell into painful reverie.
The reporter has observed that the
longer a man lives and the more he
has been married, the more apt he is
to make injurious remarks of this
kind.
"Why2' asked the reporter.
Because" said the old GENTLE
man waking up, "they don't seem
to have any reason or gratitude.
Now there's that fellow Jones. When
the Gazette came out with an ac-
count Of how he had fooled that
poor girl into coming to Reno, my
ole woman got her back up and said
he ought to be hung. So did both
of my girls. Well, we tarred and
feathered the cuss, just because ne
had been insulting and ill-treating
women. He hadn't done anything
to us men, and yet, blast me If
my wife don't call me brute when
ever she smells the tar on my old
clothes and she and the girls both
say poor fellow every time the
brute's names mentioned and look
at me as though they thought I was
worse tllan he is. Oh, yes, they
think it served him perfectly right,
but-and l catch it. There amt a
woman in town that don't pity that
low-down loafer for getting what he
deserved. It's good thing for
women that men are better to 'em
than they deserve. It's lucky for
'em that men don't depend on their
gratitude for reward. We only get
abused for doing them favors.ns
The old gentleman sighed, scratch
ed his head and fell back into his
reverie. Gazette.

THE NEwDELAWARE DISTRICT
More Claims Being Taken 'Up-A
Lot OF Edison Ore to be Tested
BY the WsshOe Mill Process,

BY the Wssh0e Mill Process.
Ed. Smith and Delaware Sewell
came in from the new Delaware min
ing district on Monday. They say
that the Edison mine (Which they
have "rechristened" from the Phenix)
Is opening up splendidly, and that if
ths ore body only holds in depth
for an hundred feet or SO, they will
be independently rich. They have
been at work on the mine but about
three weeks, and they have enough
in sight to keep, a ten-stamp mill
going for at least a month. They
have over sixty tons of ore on the
dump, and came in to make arrange
ments to have fifty or sixty-ton lot
worked at either the Excelsior or
Ramsdell mill, early in October.
This lot has not been selected at all,
but extracted in running a short
drift and continuing tunnel in the
ore vein. If it comes anywhere
near their least expectations, they
will at once make arrangements to
have ten-stamp mill erected at
some point on the Carson river most
convenient to the district. They es-
innate that the cost of extracting and
hauling to the mill, until water in
terferes with the working of the
mine, will not exceed IS per ton.
Many new locations have been
made in the district within the past
ten days, and most of the locators
are at work on their claims.

BRIEF MENTION.

The fancy drinks prepared at the
Sacramento saloon, corner of Union
and D streets, Virginia, cannot be
equaled in the State. "a"
w. w. Palmer, an old mining man
who is credited with having broken
into the first ore struck IN the Ophir
mine, was in 6ilvsrilast Sunday. He
is a relative of William H. Hill, OF
Virginia. e@~
A regular old fashioned Washoe
zephyr waltzed about the Comstock
towns, last Monday night, raising
clouds Of dust, and making things
decidedly uncomfortable for be-
lated wayfarers. ..5aa'e,r s'sa'--a' 'aa

Last Sunday morning the coupling
rod of one Of Elders heavy wood
teams gave way as the team was
coming up the hill in front Of Geyer's

SOUTH LADY BRYAN CON.
A New FlOwery FavOrite-Its LO.
cation and PrOspects-H0w 1t
Will be Worked.

One of the interpretations growing
out of the present favor in which
Floweery District is held is the South
Lady Bryan Consolidated, which has
a capital of $1O,OOO,OOO, divided in
to 100000 shares, of which 10000
have been sold at 80 cents share,
for a working capital. The claim
adjoins the Rogers and Lady Bryan
on the South, and is believed to con-
tain a portion Of the ore body dis
covered in the south end of the $780,
level OF the Lady Bryan. Captain
Kelly, Superintendent Of the Lady
Bryan, is likewise in charge of the
South Lady Bryan, and he proposes
to, work both mines through the
Lady Bryan shaft, and thus keep
working expenses down to mini
mum. The shares Of stock already
soldSwill doubtless suffice to pay the
working expenses for several months,
or until the main drift on the $50
Lowell Of the Lady Bryan shall have
been continued through the ground
of the Sonth Lady Bryan. In the
meantime, if ore is found by the
drift, the stock will go to high
figure. Having examined into the
merits Of this property, we have no
hesitation in recommending it as .
superior investment, for the price, to
any other stock In that district. And
while those who buy merely "for a
turn may not realize to the extent
Of their expectations, still We be-
iieve. that they cannot lose much,
unless the present excitement should
quiet down suddenly-somethin
which is. not impossible, although
quite improbable, just now.

THE PROSPECTS BRIGHTEN
ING.
Work Likely to be Started Up
Soon on Several Claims In This
Vicinity. M

SvVAA VAA 0SsCASA OA0AAAS IN 4 Has
Vicinity.
From present appearances and in
formation work will soon be started
up on no less than a dozen promis-
ing claims in this vicinity. Colonel
Robinson, the former superintendent
of the South End Company, was in
town OH Monday, and informed a
TINES reporter that the Western
Union Company would soon begin
extracting ore from the old Daney
workings, on the east end of Spring
Valley. He thinks that ore enough
can be exposed to view in a very
short time to keep a fifteen. stamp
mill running steadily, and that the
mine will easily pay for the mill and
leave nice margin of profits be-
sides.
James H. Crossman, who Is Better
known as EAST Ledge CrossmaD,'
was in town last Sunday, looking
into the affairs and prospects of the
Erie Consolidated, and yesterday
evening left for San Francisco, to
complete arrangements for starting
work up on that mine. Mr. Cross
man considers it very promising
piece of property. H6189 -
Arrangements are believed to be
under way to place E. A. Schultz in
charge of the South Comstock as
Superintendent, and begin work at
once on that property in syste-
matte manner.
r Mr.. Bradford, the gentleman who
has been around for some days past,
paying up the old accounts of the
Amazon and Glasgow companies, In
formed a TINES reporter last Satur-
day, that work would doubtless be
started up on those mines in a few
days.
The South End Company, we are
also informed, are making prepare
tons to begin work on that and the
Comet claims. A large body of
paying ore is known to exist in those
mines, and it is matter of surprise
that it is not opened up at once and
milled. @'' h ' sf4e
There is also some talk of starting
up the Atlantic Consolidated and the
Daney, the Kossuth and the Dayton
If this were done and, in addition, q
good body of ore should be found
in either the Justice, Alta, Silver
Hill or Succor, this city would enter
upon such an era of prosperity al
she has never seen vet.

THE REPUBLICAN CONGRESS-.
MAN AND GOVERNOR.
What the Press Says About r. M.
Daggett and John HI. Kinkead.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.l
Although Nevada is called the rot
ten borough, this imputation has
never extended to her people. There
is nowhere more intelligent class
of citizens than in our sister State,
and no community so swift to pun
ish unfaithful servants or to reward
those who stand by the people and
defy the corruptionists. Bradley,
Democrat, will probably be Cover
nor of Nevada as long as he lives
and shall consent to serve, simply
because he has been true to his trust.
The latest evidence of the good sense
of this people is in their reputation
of Congressman Wren and the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Daggett in his place.
Wren was put upon the shelf because
he was the close friend of the Cen
trail Pacific Railroad, and did all in
his power to advance the interests of
such men as Sargent and Page and
the schemes they were engaged in
promoting. Nevada is less tender
of the Central Pacific Company than
w hOlt thO lollIOdo 40
fused to pay its taxes and tried to
escape from its share of the public
burden, the authorities of that State
tied up their cars as fast as they ar
rived at Reno, until Stanford & Co.
we're glad to settle. Here they only
pay when the amount of the ASSESS
ment Is satisfactory to them. Mr..
Daggett fought the machine in Storey
county and won the day. He was
not only nominated over Wren, but
drove him from the field. A little
Of this discipline would be bene-
fetal in California.
From the Reno Gazette. (Indll
No word can truthfully be said
against r. M. Daggett's integrity.
and even his enemies admit him to
be one of the cleverest men on the
coast. He Is a man of unblemished
character and great mental powers
and solid common sense. Although
having occupied for years a position
in which he needed to be but dis.
honest to make HIM rich Mr.. Daggett
be it said to his own honor and
that of Nevada journalism-is to-
day poor. His services to the Re-
publican party have been as many
and valuable as those of any other
man In the State.
From the winnemuccs Silver STATED
although of a different political
faith from Mr.. Kinkead, the Silver
State, which aims to treat candi.
dates fairly, irrespective of party,
has kept the fact of his being q cam
didate before the people, believing
that he was not contaminated by
ComstOck ring influences, aud that
If Republican is to be elected, he
is preferable to any other candidate
for the office of the party, and as
representative of Humboldt and its
interests, it is pleased to chronicle
his success in the convention.
From the Eureka Sentinel
We believe that he will make a
pretty fair race. He 10 polished
gentleman and has some elements
of strength. His candidature will
nsutralize certain wing of Demo-
cracy, conciliate the Independents
of the Bob Clark stripe, and COM
mand the sporting element of the
State. Mr.. Kinkead will get big
Democratic vote in Humboldt coun-
ty. All these things will happen in
his favor. He is smooth, and may
make much better run than anyone
would suppose.

THE BASE RANGE TOWN.
What Joe MuncktOn Says Ab0ut
It-127 Saloons, and Every 9th.
. er House a Restaurant-Etc.

y er House q Kestaurant-Etc.
Joseph Munckton, of this city,
who was delegate to the State Con-
vention last week, says that Eureka
is one of the liveliest towns he ever
saw. There are 1877 saloons there,
Of which five are two-bit houses.
Among the other notabilities of the
place are five faro games, two hurdy
houses, and one beer shop where
there are about forty tables, and
where the lager is served by pretty
waiter girls. There are also sixteen
blacksmith shops. As for the res
taurants, Mr.. Munckton says there
are so many that after counting for
half an hour he "gave it up" and set
down every other door as that of an
eating house. Many of the Eurek-
ans formerly lived in this city and
Dayton-and this fact may account
for the neat appearance Of the place.
A disagreeable feature, however, is
the smoke which escapes from the
smelling works and which carries so
much metal that men frequently get
aieaded" by simply inhaling the
fumes in the streets. No thirsty or
hungry person can remain so long
in that town, Mr.. Munckton thinks.

The latest enterprise in contem-
plation is the building of a branch
railroad along the east margin of the
'comstock range, from the Yellow
Jacket new shaft, past the Overman
new shaft. the New York, Alta, Sue
cor, Erie Consolidated, Dayton,
Kossuth and Daney, to some point
in Spring Valley where it will con-
meet with the Lyon county Railroad
about to be built from the Mound
House, via Dayton. to Aurora and
Bodie. This road would be of great
advantage to the mines named, as it
would deliver their machinery and
supplies at the very door of their
hoisting works.

Etters replied "Yes, l say so."
Etters then asked Dover if he had seen
anything of his saddle. He replied that
he had seen it, and tried to break it and
threw it into the old field. Quarreling en-
sued, and in the alteration, Etters knocked
Dover down. Dover, on gaining his feet,
drew out his knife. Etters then seized him
and was choking him, when Dover jerked
loose, and stuck his knife into him, OH the
right side below the ribs, and was in the act
of stabbing him second time, when witness
caught his arm. Etters' bowels protruded
from the incision.
The verdict of the jury was that the de-
ceased came to his death from cut by a
knife in the hands of w. j. Dover.
An autopsy was made by Drs Tracy and
Dickson. of Kings Mountain, N. c., and DIR.
A. F. Hanbright, of this county, who found
that the knife had entered the wounded man's 8
