MISCELLANEOUS MINING NOTES

For some unaccountable reason,
all work in crosscut No. Q, on the
2OOO-level of the Ophir mine, was
discontinued last Saturday afternoon.
Work on the northeast drift from
which the crosscut is run had been
discontinued some days before. 1t
is stated that work will not be re-
sumed until Colonel Fair arrives.
He is expected home in day or two.
In the meantime anxious stockholders
must possess their souls in patience.
The discharge of a miner for per.
hitting Mr.. Sutro to reach the sur
face through the Savage shaft the
other night is considerably COM
mented on and General Williams is
berated for alleged meanness. 1t is
quite probable, however, that this
keen lawyer saw technical point in
this instance, and felt that ii he per-
mitted Sutro to pass through the
mine without a protest it would be
an acknowledgment before the courts
that the latter had been allowed right
of way.-[S. F. Paper.
The Justice will clear $4,000 this
month from the second class ore
milled at the Santiago mill. 1t

We hear it limited that when ope-
rations are again resumed at the
Lady Bryan mine Mr.. Derby, late of
the Alta mine, will be Superintend-
emit Enterprise.
Mr.. Derby is one of the wealthiest
and luckiest men on the C0mstock.
We have repeatedly heard it said of
him that Everything he touches
turns to gold" If he takes hold of
the Lady Bryan he will make pay
ing mine of it in few months if it
is in the ground--and we believe
it is.

A PICTURESQUE Sight,

A number of Indian boys and
girls aged from Is to 20 years, are in
the habit of assembling at the slun
pond near the Chollar- Norcross shaft,
on sunny afternoons, and rolling in
the slum and going through all the
motions which they might we're they
swimming in the water. At times
they lie down in Indian file, some
twenty at a time, and roll over and
over from one end Of the pond to
the other. As they divest themselves
of all wearing apparel before going
on the pond, and only retain breech
clout, the sight is quite picturesque.

A Deficit In X. $. Raw's Accounts.

The United States Postal Depart
ment claims that there is a deficit in
the accounts of r. s. Raw, the ex-
Postmaster at Sutro, and his bonds
men have been called upon for the
amount. Mr.. Raw has been advised
of the alleged deficiency, but he re-
fuses to make it good, claiming that
there is no deficit, and he writes that
he will stand suit first. The bonds
men, who cannot afford to bear the
expense and annoyance of pro-
tracted suit, will reimburse the gov
ernment. Mr.. Raw, it will be re-
membered, was also Assistant Super
intendent of the Sutro Tunnel Com.

SmOthered in a Mine.

Three miners we're smothered in
the Alta mine, last Sunday afternoon.
They went in too soon after a blast
and were overpowered by noxious
fumes. A carman who happened
their way saw them laid out, helpless,
and two of them speechless. They
were brought to the surface immedi-
ately and sent home. Neither of
them were seriously hurt. ~

GATHERING OF THE FAITHFUL
George Cassidy's PretensiOns Dis

UCUI &c C0Soluy AICtCuSlVUc DiSs
cussed-The Party to Go Solid
for Bradley.
There was Democratic pow-wow
in Virginia City, last Monday, which
was attended by several of the more
prominent of the faithful. The po-
litical situation was thoroughly can
vassed, and the outlook pronounced
very flattering. George W. Cassidy's
attitude against Governor Bradley
was severely commented on, AS it
was considered that he was playing
into the hands of the Republicans,
who would do all they could to have
Bradley defeated in the convention,
as they knew that if he received the
nomination he would surely be
elected. 1t being averred that Mr..
Cassidy had been promised some
solid support for the United States
Senatorship in case he succeeded in
defeating Bradley, his claims upon
the Democratic party for such an
Office were thoroughly discussed and
it was agreed that they were very
poor indeed. Moreover, it is believed
that if he succeeds in carrying the
Eureka delegation it will be the ut
most extent of the injury he can do
Bradley and the Democratic party.
Finally, it was agreed that it was too
soon to commence active operations
yet; and after pledging each other to
stand by Governor Bradley to the
death the assemblage dispersed to
meet again early in August.

Mr.. KenyOn's Health Improving.

A letter received yesterday from
Mr.. Frank Kenyon states that he is
rapidly regaining his health. He is
closing out his affairs at Bodie and

evening for Wellington station, half

There was regular hurricane
blowing in this city yesterday. The
wind emerged from the Canyon in
gusts almost strong enough to lift a
mule off its feet.
There is plenty of money in the
treasury to pay all the teachers in the
county. But no order will be drawn
in favor of any teacher who has failed
to send in his annual report.
Surveyor General Day was in town
few days ago. He still looks hale
and hearty enough to stand another
campaign, although 1t is necessary to
use speaking tube in conversing
with him.
The water in the Carson river is
receding rapidly, and as the snow
has nearly all melted from the noun
tains it is feared that the water mills
will have to shut down before the list
Of September-earlicr than was anti
cipated.
The net receipts of the concert
given in Miners Union Hall on the
evening of the LIST Of July, to raise
money to purchase the old or
gan of Grace Church for the public
schools, were $35 70. AS only S25
was required the surplus will be used
to pay for needed school furniture.
There has been no work done on the
Claim of the Dayton Gravel Mining
Company for some days past. Fur
ther progress cannot be made with

is being prepared for the company at
the Gold Hill Foundry will be read y
in few days, when work will prob
ably be resumed.

two middle fingers of his left hand
badly hurt, last Saturday afternoon.
He was standing in the water, endea-

on which the cars loaded with wood
are hauled up out of the river. He
lost his hold, when the track fel! on
his fingers, MASKING them to a jelly.

Bathing in Dangerous Place.

Some of the Dayton boys are in
the habit of bathing in the reservoir
to the west of town, at the mouth of
Gold Canyon. As the place is very
dangerous much more so than the
river-some boy will very likely dis
appear some day, If this thing is not
put a stop to, and everybody will
then wonder that such calamity did
not occur before.

MEMPHIS CUSTOM HOUSE.
A Little Suspicion Of Friendly Job.
berry with Illinois SANDSTONE
Tennessee Stone Offered Free
to the Government.

1t is not very pleasant for the people
of Memphis to learn that the custom
house in this city is to be built of Hi
nois sandstone and red brick, when
Nashville is having hers constructed OIL
handsome Kentucky atone aud South
Carolina marble. Such is the fact, and
the alleged reason by Secretary Sherman
is that there is a necessity for pushing
the work forward. Why Illinois sand
stone, which is contracted for at a cost Of
81 Is, should be used when Tennessee
marble can be procured without cost, is
truly astonishing, This is all the more
astonishing when we remember that a
bill has pissed the senate, without a dis
senting vote, directing that the Memphis
custom-bouse shall be built Of Tennessee
marble, provided the ssme does not in,
volve an increase of appropriation o.
more than $50, 900; aud hat this bill has
been reported from the house committee
on prblic buildings and grounds, and
will be considered so soon az it can be
reached on the public calendar, which
cannot now be at a very distant day.
If the present desigu be executed the
Memphis custom house will present an
appearance rivalingin beauty the archi.
tectural elegance Of q ~cottOu-shed, and
insulting even the taste Of a tobacco
barn. We are informed that a gentle
man near Morristown, Tennessee, ha;
an i~nexhsustible quarry of fine marble
which he offers free to the government
for the Memphis custom.house. The
superior quality Of this beautiful marble
is known to Colohel ]. B. Killebrew
commissioner of agriculture, statistic;
and mining. Why then should the
beauty Of the Memphis custom house b.
msrred, if not ruined, by the unneeded
expense in the purchase and use Of sand

tom.house will hardly say thaI
the Illinois marble is better OF
would be handsomer for the building
than the Tennessee marble, for Major
Sease is an intelligent gentleman, whose
integrity would never permit him to tel
an untruth. In view of these fects, Mr.,
Sherman's course is certainly calculated
to do great damage, for, if not ignorant
in what he commands, be must have
some object rather than the early com.
pletion of a building that could be &
credit to the country. Hon. Casey
Young has addressed a letter Of protes
to Mr.. Sherman, and we hope he viii
now present the additional fact tina
Tennessee marble can and will be eiyeI
free Of cost for the building OF the Mem

The Common Enemx.

In order to make Roadway against the com
mon enemy, disease, it is necessary to oppose
him with persistence. 1t very frequently
happens that a remedy perfectly adequate to
the necessities Of the case. it persisted in, is
condemned and thrown aside because a few
doses of u do not cure a malady. How I'M
reasonable and unjust would such a judFment
be regarding Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, one
Of the most popular and highly sanctioned
medicines OF the day, a potent invigorant and
an invariably successful remedy for constipa-
ton, dyspepsia, liver complaint, ineipient
rheumatism and govt, inactivity and weak
ness of the kidneys and bladder, and for the
infrmities incident to the decline oflife. No
fact is better established than the above, yet
in order to experience its truth those afflicted
with OBJ itinate forms Of disease should give
this benlgnant curative a patient trial. II
they do they nay rely upon decisive curative
results.
