OBSTRUCTING SIDEWALKS.

After the storm yesterday there was enough
snow left to discern without much difficulty
an ordinary wagon track on the snow. We
have not been prospecting on general prlncl-
pies but were driven to it by the oVerbearlng
and unconstitutional course pursued by the
drivers of grocery wagons. We have noticed
for some time the proclevity and deliberate
intention which is daily carried Oh, of driving
upon the sidewalk instead Of the middle OF
the street 1t may possibly be that sidewalks
are made for delivery wagons and the middle
of the street for pedestrians, bat we don't
think so. Yesterday morning we noticed on
Spear street one wagon on the sidewalk close
to Olcovich's gate and another as close to
Judge Leonards. We gently asked the
driver of the latter wagon, as to whether the
sidewalk was the place for his vehicle, and IN
an insolent manner he informed us that we
had room enough to walk by. Well, we had
BIZ crowding between the wagon and the fence,
after he had unfastened his hitch-strap. These
persons have been in the habit of riding
rouoh shod wherever they please 10 such an
extent that not only their proceedings IN OBJ
structino the sidewalks but their impudence
and insolence has become to be nuisance.
The matter ought to be looked into by the
proper authorities. We were just curious
enough after the above experience to
take a walk through the residence portion Ct
the city and we found wagon tracks on the
sidewalk in every direction. We know what
we are writing about. Know that it IS not
allowable Ordinance No. 5, (kindly loaned
by the Sheriff. is before us. Section l on the
subject of obstructing sidewalks provides only
for the placing of goods temporarily thereon.
Does not contemplate the running OF a vehicle
on the sidewalk by private residence any
more than on the pavement in front of the
Ormsby House Boxes, bales and lumber
may be laid down within limit of time or
for repairs one third of the sidewalk may be
used ''provding that the space OF six feet
in width shall at all times be kept clear for
the accommodation of persons passing. We
don't expect to be able to do anything with
the drivers, but under the ordinance some one
must be made responsible. We only call at
tention to this matter, and if we see any more
Of it, will bring it to the attention OF the
Street Inspector or some othor official, if he
cannot attend to it.

E,.-T0R APPEAL: At last the weather has
changed in this locality to warm, bright days,
and the sun has got the best of the frost king
AGAIN outdoor work is resumed and the bar
room stoves are deserted. For over two weeks
with the thermometer ranging from II to 81
below zero, nearly everything was suspended
and the mill shut down; though at the mine,
three miles from here, there being difference
all the time of over thirty degrees in tempera-
ture, the wotk of prospecting and taking out
ore continued The Endowment mine is con-
stantly improving both in quality and guam
tity of ore in the Wine that is being sunk
from the 200 foot level. The mine has been
prospected to the depth, from the surface at
the end of the tunnel of 480 feet. The engine
for the new hosting works arrived yesterday
and will be ready to start up by the 10Th as
everything is in readiness to set it up, and
then sinking can be more rapidly done than
bv the slow work of whims to raise ore and
waste. The developments of the past week
have been very gratifying, the ledge contlnu-
ally widening and improving IN quality, the
walls being regular and we'll defined; no doubt
now exists Of there being permanent mine,
and more stamps viii be added to the mill III
March. We feel confident of having regu-
Ian Bonanza that may reach in extent the IA
nous Northern Belle, which has panned out
thirty consecutive monthly dividends. The
energy, perseverance and indomitable pluck
of Dr. Weber and ". B. Crane have pro-
ducod this result and have made this camp
success as one of the regular bullion produc-
ing districts of southern Nevada. Other
mines are looking WE'LL the most prominent of
which are the Combination, Black Hawk and
independents; the two latter are smaller veins
but very high grade, milling $3.50 to the ton.
There are no idle men in camp and good min
ers could find work in the Spring, as prepare
lions are being made to develope other mines.

Home keeping hearts are ha2piest,
For those that wander they know not where
Are full of trouble and full Of care;
To Say at home is best.
Weary and homesick and distressed,
They wander East, they wander West,
And are bafsied and beaten and blown about
Bv the winds of the wilderness OF doubt;
To stay at home is best.
Then stay at home, my heart, and rest;
The bird is safest in It's nest;
Ger all that flutter their wings and ny
A hawk is hove. ing in the sky;
TO stay at home is best.
