 To accomplish it's work of death, nature is obliged every year to in vent new diseases, with new names, in order to keep ahead of patent medicines that cure all ills known.
 Some men are always looking for something pointed in newspaper, and yet when their names are used to sharpen the points they are too dull to see where the fun comes in. A young man named Hugg is an immense favorite among the girls, but when he calls upon one, in the evening, her parents sit up with the young couple until he leaves.

lose Pico Arrested for a Murder
Committed Seven Years Ago
His Side Of the story.
from the Reno journal Of the sth.l
Yesterday morning at about 10 o'clock
Constable elect G.. w. Avery arrested Jose
Pico, alias Jose Saleo, on o charge OF hav-
ing murdered q man in Los Angeles Cali
fornia. Avery saw o telegram advertised
for the man, and, remembering the name,
told Mr.. Wilbur, the Western Union ope-
rator here. 70 look out and let him know
when the message was called for. This
was two weeks ago, and the circumstance
almost passed from Mr.. Wiibur's mind,
but the moment the stranger called for
the telegram he remembered it and quietly
telling the message boy to get Avery, occu-
pied the man in conversation, making
himself as agreeable as il he were
talking to o young lady. The man
was socially inclined, and continued the
conversation until Avery stepped in
and arrested him. He gave up very quietly
and was imprisoned to await the arrival of
officers from Los Angeles. Pico has been
employed by Russell & Sawyer. stock men
at Wadsworth, as o vaquero, and has been
in the pastures nearly all the time, but
seeing the telegram advertised, he ven
tured to come to town to get it, knowing
that it was an order for money. He admits
that he killed the man, but gives as the
reason that he did it in self-defense. The
deceased asked him to take a drink, but he
refused. With an oath, the fellow said
he would make him, and threw q tumbler
at bis head, hitting and stunning him.
Recovering, he drew his pistol and shot
the assailant dead. He then fed, and
managed to elude the officers until he was
Unexpectedly arrested yesterday.

A screening.

There was . good start towards a fire
early Sunday evening on the east side Of
north Main street. The fire originated in
Joe Kinds saloon, and got quite well I'M
der way before it was noticed, but the
prompt action OF the Elko Brewery folks,
who bad a hose Of sufficient length to
reach from their establishment to the fire.
And then others rushed in with buckets,
and the flames were not shooting above
the roof when the hooks and the various
hose trucks got on the ground. The fire
must have originated from sparks, as it
caught two feet away from any stove pipe.
and burned a hole three or four feet in
diameter. The firemen were on hand
quick enough, and even the Richmonds
made their long run in less than five
minutes after the fire-alarm was sounded.
The fire and water damage was quite serious
10 those who occupied the house; and we
understand that the necessitated removal,
fright, etc.. of a sick child, next door, may
result fatally.

W. w. TRAYLoR-Dear Sir: The usual
progress has been made in mining opera
lions, there having been 1877 feet Of drifts
made during the week. The ore bodies on
the seventh level are all looking we'll, and
continue TO yield an abundance Of ore,
without showing any material reduction in
quantity. Are hosting sufficient ore TO
keep the furnaces running 10 their full ca
pacity, and shall be able 70 continue doing
10 until the broken spur-wheel is replaced
by the new one now ON the way. It will
require o suspension Of mining operations
for twenty-f0ur hours 10 put the new
wheel into position, but shall have plenty Of
ore on the dumps 10 keep the urnaces 60
ing without interruption. The following
is the amount Of work lone in the pros
pecting drifts being run on the several
levels, viz:
Fifth level-South drift continued -
feet, and is now in 81 feet, with no change
since last report. Crosscut running south
from west drift continued 10 feet, and are
now in . formation Of broken limestone,
with total length Of drift 81 feet.
Eleventh level-Crosscut south from
main drift continued Is feet, and are now
in 81 feet.
Twelfth level-West drift from No. l
crosscut continued q feet, and are now in
SO feet. Drift in good ore. Started drift
running east, and advanced the same ten
feet, coming into low grade ore. West
drift from crosscut 30. 2 started this week,
and made G2 feet with drift in low grade
ore. Main west drift continued five feet,
and is now in 3S3 feet. Have suspended
work in the drift for the present.

Glowing Each Other for $1,000.
tFrom the Virginia Chronicle.l
Just after Harry Maynard had, in . glove
match, demolished tho contour Of Patsey
Hogan's mug in San Francisco, for q con-
sideration Of $3.50, Jack Mailman, nj
local lightweight professor OF the art de-
~ssructive, inserted . challenge in the
Pacific Life 70 the effect that he would
meet Maynard in . nose-breaking tourna-
ment for 81, 900 Q side. Maynard declined
TO engage in any moro glove matches with
anybody decision which left Mr.. Halli-
. in . state Of profound melancholia. It
is now whispered, however, that Maynard's
present visit 10 this city, has been partly
prompted bya desire 10 remodel Mr.. Halli-
mans nose and drive his teeth into his
esophagus, for any sum from 81, 900 to
s., 900 : side. As both men can secure I'M
limited backing, and each is possessed Of
firm confidence in himself, the probabilities
Of . glove encounter are reasonably good.
1t Is said that Mailman, anticipating an
acceptance Of his challenge, is already In
training.
In addition to Hallinan's proposal, Harry
Morgan, Of this city, has challenged May
nard to eight for 81 900 q side. Mr.. May
nard will arrive tomorrow, and the pros
poets are that, unless he specially needs re-
taxation and rest. time will not hang heavy
on his hands while he sojourns upon the
Comstock.
The challenge issued to Maynard by
Harry Morgan has been answered by old
ALI Walker, who informs Morgan through
the Chronicle that he is ready for business
at any time for 81 900 q side.

note in ore Slopes above 250-foot level.
The stope above northeast drift 40 feet be-

could be desired. Have made two ship..

The Sick and wounded.

We dropped in with DR.. Bishop, last
evening, TO look at Simmons, the young
man who was shot through the bowels ac-
cidcntally, two or three weeks ago, and
there is not much doubt but that he will
be sound once more. The swelling, which
we mentioned a week ago, is nearly all
gone, and every symptom Of recovery. is
good. 1t is one Of the most remarkable
cases of escaping from deaths clutches we
ever knew or heard of.
The Doctor also informed us that John
Gillespie. on Ruby Hill, whom he saw in
the morning, was getting all right as fast
as it was possible for a man who had been
SO dangerously i'll.

Another Miner Gone.

Two men, Alex. Mcdonald and q Mr..
Finnegan, at work in the upraise from the
third level Of the Phenix mine, yesterday
afternoon, experienced some disagreeable
sensations from the foul air, and Finnegan
came up, while Mcdonald concluded he
would go into the winze from the second
level aud work down. In this place he
was discovered, shortly after, quite dead.
His face was bruised as though he had
fallen upon 1t, and as the air is not bad in
this locality, the supposition is that no
died in the sgonies of a fit. His death is
universally regretted on Ruby Hill, where
he was well and favorably known. He was
about 20 years Of age.

start up the Hillside furnace on or about
the Goth instant for a long run. The coal
contractor telegraphs that the supply OF
coal will be ample in the future. The mine
is immense. All accounts agree that it is
to-day one of the very best properties on
the coast. We expect it to make an excel
lent record during the next three months.
The showing Of high grade ore is not ex-
cclled anywhere.

name Of raising the best potatoes Of any

smoothest, largest and most palatable Of
any we have seen. We saw some very
large ones Of this variety (samples) at
Jack Perry's bar, and also at Billy Daugh-
erty's, but Ennis has them for sale.
Brother Smith brought in, from the
same ranch, a bunch of willows, and for

of the disease has so far bafied the skill

possible to get at the seat Of the malady.
1t is said by some who have been similarly
afflicted, that the best thing is to remain

diet light on codfi1h balls, and keep the
election returns from the patient until he
