LYON COUNTY TIMES
BRIEF MENTION.

Work Is SoIuS Oh as USUAL III the
st. Louis ground.
There are many cases of sore throat
in this city at present. The disease
almost amounts to an epidemic.
The storm which has threatened
this region seems to have been blown
off by the strong zephyr Of last
Thursday night, and the sky is again
clear.
e. W. Gowen, the wide-awake
business man of this city, has a
notice in another column to which
we direct particular attention. He
means what he says, and all indebted
to him should settle up and save costs.
]. H. Smart, agent for G. Fl. Tie.
man & Co.. of Gold Hill, who en-.
large pictures to any size desired,
was in town yesterday. They claim
to do that kind of work much better
than anybody else in the same line of
business.
The tank below the 1100-level of the
Silver Hill is caulked and ready for
use. A few days more will be re.
quired to complete the 100 station,
after which crosscuts will he started
on that level which are expected to
develop something of value.
7. L. Crockett, State Treasurer.
elect, has resigned the superintend.
encv of the Reno Gas Company, and
J. f. Jones, Vice President of the
company, now performs the duties of
superintendent. NJ. Crockett will
shortly leave for Carson, where he
will make his home during the term
Of his office.-Reno Gazette.
Felix Lacrouts has secured per-
mission to work the Emigrant claim
through the Cherokee incline, and
began work yesterday. He employs
about ten men. He is working at
. point about twenty feet above the
100-level of the Cherokee, and fol-
lowing stringer Of rich ore which
he thinks will develop into a pay
ing body.
Tho hop of the Mite Society, at
Dan McErlain's last Thursday even.
ing, was not success. Shortly after
it began some of the ladies objected
to the presence of other ladies who
did not reside here, and the party
thereupon adjourned to the Miners
Union Hall. No more hops will be
given under the auspices Ut this So
ciety for some time.
The employees Of the Sutro Tunnel
Company were paid off last Thurs.
day. The payroll has averaged
$4,000 for some months past, but il
will probably reach Is to $4,000
for some months to come, as the cut
ting out Of the drain and the shorten
ing of the shifts will compel ma
terial increase in the working force.
About 100 men are now employed
in and about the tunnel.
The Cherokee was "shut down"
last Tuesday on a telegraph order
from San Francisco directing Super
intendent Hillyer to await the coming
of Mr.. Hobart before doing any
more work. Mr.. Hobart is therefore
daily expected here. 1t is likely,
however, that the Cherokee will be
worked through the Dayton shaft.
This will involve the starting up of
the heavy Dayton machinery, aud,
probably, resumption of operations
in that mine.
A. Bourdeaux, miner employed
in the Silver Hill, scenes to be in
bad luck. A few weeks ago cave
in the mine nearly flattcned out his
nose, and before no could resume
work he had severe tussle with
. typhoid fever and rheumatism in
the right shoulder. He finally came
out all right, but after working q
few shifts his mate struck him on
the left hand blow meant for the
head of a hand -drill, and the unfor-
tunate fellow has since carried his
arm in sling. He begins to be-
lieve that he Is endowed with i'm
mortality.
