more Of the Improved Order Of Red
Men for the State Of Nevada, is to ar-
rive here from Virginia City tonight,
VIC having received q telegram to that
effect last evening.
F. X. Bechtel, n Of the principal
Of tho nov famoas Bechtel
mine of Bodie District, arrived here
yesterday. and was a guest OF j. S.
Mayhugh and Elias De Young. the lat
ter gentleman being u relative, and the
former an old Aurora friend. All the
parties are originally from Pennsyl-
yania, aud the reunion was fraught
with many old-time and pleasant men,
cries. E1 7Lt.aFf rs -HT a
S. N. st. Clair Of our neigbooring
town Of Wells, who has recently been
on n visit among relatives aud u tour of
observation combined, in Southern CAL
ifornia, returned by the train Sunday
evening. Mr. ST. Cluir also extended
his travels as far as Arizona, and IN a
brief conversation while the train lay
ut the Hotel. We learned that the bar
rem. busnt-up appearance OF that cOun-
try, had etTcctually cured him of the
desire to immiSrate to it, which he bad
entertained previously. He informs us
tLut the drOuth in the sections through
which he passed was terrible in its ef.
fects, the travelled routes being literally
lined with carcasses of stock which had
persisted through the total absence of
feed for its support.
Mr.. L. Reilly. the gentleman who
has charge of the Business OF the East
efn company tina. erected the fine new
water jacket furnace in Rail-
road district, and which has
proven 80 successful in the
reduction Of its ores, was in town on
business connected with the enterprise
~inaugursted by him. n couple of days
ago, but returned Immediately. From
him W learn TINT work upon the mines
is being pushed forward rs rapidly us
possible. The yield of ore is fully up
to expectations. nud should the present
favorable weather continue IA month
longer, another run Of the furnace Will
be made before its close. At tho last
run II short time since, everything
about the furnace worked admirably
and the yield exceeded even the most
sanguine expectations. That the next
run will prove ven more successful
han the first. there Is every reason to
believe, and that Mr.. Reilly has sccur-
ell a good paying business for his CON-
pany, there is not the slightest reason
to doubt.
Bert. Kuhn returned from Zion
sooner than expected: a pending law
suit in the Sainted City. having been
decided III his favor. Elko's subsidiary
attractions arc also irresistible to some.
We learn this evening that the old
gentleman, A. Parker. is seriously i'll
from nm attack of pneumonia.
Ralph A. Wells, an attache Of the
New York Heraid, who his during the
past five week been taking observations
in California and along the coast north,
arrived in Elko on his way east. last
evening. Mr.. Wells remained over to-
day, and in n visit to this Office we
found him a very intelligent agreeable
gentleman, and found also that unlike
many Eastern newspaper men. ho had
in!uitiyclg, as it were. imbibed a very
correct idea Of what he has heard and
seen during his stay, and is therefore
better qualified to speak Of
our p~eculiarities. than one
who. firmly established in the
idea Of the infalibility of his own con
victions. is prepared to denounce every
deviation from the standard OF excel
