The Coli Canyon Mines.

William Lee, Superintendent of
the Prospect Qode) mine, has located
a gravel claim at the mouth of Gold
Canyon, about 800 yards east of the
Dayton Company's claim. He has
sunk shaft twenty-five feet, and
struck bedrock, without tapping any
water channel. He is preparing
to sink another shaft on the same
claim, in a hollow, where he thinks
he will not strike bedrock before he
has sunk forty or fifty feet. He will
then connect the two shafts by a
drift, and use the deeper one as a
stump. He is highly pleased with
the prospects, and says that if the
claim pans out half as we'll as it
promises to, he has as good thing
as he wants.
Work has been discontinued on
the new Daney Canyon gravel claim,
the bedrock having been struck at a
depth of five feet. Not a color was
found in the shaft. The bedrock is a
species of hard cement, slippery as
glass, similar to the bedrock of Gold
Canyon.
The engine which is being fitted
up for the Dayton Company not be-
ing ready, work has not been re-
sumed on the claim of that company.

A Distinguished Man for Governor.

We have been shown a letter from
the Western part of the State, init
mating that there will be third
party in the field this fall with Sutro
at its head for Governor. Just now
Mr.. Sutro is lion, and the recipient
of numerous compliments from the
press. The completion of his tunnel
has brought him into popularity and
public notice, and will make him, in
case he runs, formidable candidate.
If he enters the field in earnest he
will probably upset all past calcula-
tons, and awaken renewed interest in
the campaign. Calling him an As
syrian, and making illusions to his
"big bore" will not put him down
this time. He will probably be a
Workingmen's candidate. = tTybo
Sun.
1t is too soon yet. When his tun-
mel enterprise shall be completed-a
decade or so hence-will be time
enough.

THREE GOOD POSTMASTERS.
Officials who Discharge their Duty
Faithfully.

The Dayton, Sutro and Silver City
postofiices being of the fourth class,
no compensation is attached to the
Office of postmaster in those local.
tiles, other than that resulting from
the sale of postal supplies. These
consist of stamps, stamped wrap
pers and envelopes. On the first 800
worth or less of such supplies sold
the postmaster is allowed a commits
sion of so per cent; on the next $500,
80 per cent; and on all in excess of
$500, 40 per cent. This commission
the postmaster is allowed to retain,
and the balance must be RENTED to
Washington, quarterly, or disposed
of according to instructions from the
Postal Department.
These offices are not very remu-
nerative, and the holders are there
fore compelled to engage in some
other business in order to make a
comfortable living. But, notwith-
standing the meaSerness of their pay,
the postmasters Of that part of Lyon
county mentioned above discharge
their duty with fidelity, and to the
general satisfaction of the commu-
nifty but those members of it who do
not receive as much mail matter as

Made to Toe the Mark.

Adolph Sutro was interviewed, last
week, by the President of the Mech
anics' Union of Storey county, and
requested to reduce the length of en-.
gineers' shifts at Shaft No. 2. Mr..
sutro objected at first, and claimed
that the Union were meddling with
what did not concern them; but upon
being demonstrated with he agreed
to submit to the Unions rules. The
two engineers at Shaft No. 2 hereto
lore worked eleven and thirteen
hours, respectively, they will not,
IN future, work over ten hours at a
time, that being the maximum al
lowed by the Union on hosting en-
gines.
1t is but fair to add that Mr.. Sutro
claimed not to have been aware that
long shifts.

THE BLUE RIBBONS IN THIS
CITY.
What Their Pledge is, and How 1t
is Kept-The Principal Feature
OF Their Meetings.

What Their Pledge is, and How it
is Kept-The Principal Feature
Of Their Meetings.
The Excelsior Band of Hope, of
this city, numbers about twenty five
members. They meet every Friday
evening, in the new Episcopal
Church, and the principal feature of
the meetings is the re-administering
of the pledge to those members who
have fallen by the wayside since the
preceding meeting. As rule, they
are well-meaning boys and girls, but
the frequency with which they break
the pledge furnishes striking illus
tration of the weak ness of all flesh.
All young persons under eighteen
years of age who wish to may be-
come active members upon taking
the following pledge:
solemnly swear to abstain from
the use of all Intoxicating liquors,
from tobacco 10 all its forms, and
and from all profanity.
Any person who has attained the
age of eighteen years, may become
an honorary member by subscribing
to the following modified pledge:
solemnly swear to abstain from
the use Of all intoxicating liquors,
from all profanity.
Of the twenty-five members of the
Band about one-fourth renew the
pledge at each meeting. The dues
are seventy-five cents per quarter for
honorary members, active members
having no dues to pay. The finances
of the Band are in a satisfactory
condition.

THAT ALLEGED DEFICIT.
The Government Reimbursed, and
Mr.. Raw to Try to Recover.

X. s. Raw, ex-Postmaster at SutrO,

the amount of his alleged deficit
(some thirty-odd dollars), and will
endeavor to recover it, by suit or
otherwise. The sum had already
been covered by his bondsmen, but
their money has been returned to
them. Mr.. Raw is at present super.

THE ORPHANED BONANZAS.
The "Daddy" Not Holding Up his
Pets-The Princes Likely to Step
in Again Soon.

[From the s. F. Daily EXCHANGED
The bonanza daddy" hasn't been
very conspicuous of late. If there
is any job in the matter, it is evident
that it is we'll played, as usual. The
daddy isn't holding up his pets,
that is evident. No stalwart blows
from Austin (even before he ran that
dexter handle up against the probos-
els of a Bohemian slanderer); no
trenchant, incisive, take email offers
from Peckham. The bonanzas have
to take care OF themselves, and are
sustained even by the brokers them
selves who put the shares out to-day
and create a demand the day after
tomorrow by filling. If Eastern
operators are selling they are doing
so at bad time, and, by throwing
their stock on the market, hurting
themselves and helping the bonanza
crowd. If Messrs. Flood and Fair
expect to buy the bonanzas, say Con-
solidated at and California at z so,
they will rather help the downward
movement, and no one doubts but
that at 5 and Z so, respectively, the
bonanzas would be bully good buys
for year or so. Belcher and Crown
Point, after stopping dividends, did
not go so low. 1t is quite evident
that nobody standeth under the bo-
nanzas just now. Mr.. Floods entire
time is occupied in advising mana
ger McLane how to run the Bank of
Nevada and its branches, bringing to
the consideration thereof vast guam.
tity of statistics and financial tables;
and Col. Fair, what with the rheu-
matism, which doesn't affect him as
it does Charley Hoffmsn-that most
confidential of superintendents-has
number of new bonanzas which
preclude him from paying much at
tention to the old. Mackay is hob
nobbing with President Mcmahon in
the boulevards, and doesn't care
whether the bonanzas keep or not.
Mr.. O'Brien takes no further inter.
est in stocks of any kind, having 9TH
ers besides terrestrial things to occu-
ply his mind. And so the bonanzas,
having no daddy and being pressed
by Eastern holders, droop, until the
bonanza princes will step in again
at proper prices.

Mr.. Orndorff was in no wise offended
