BRIEF MENTION.

The weather seems to have settled
down for another spell Of Indian
Summer.
There is some talk of work be-
ing started up in the Alhambra mine.

the Alta mine, was married last
Wednesday evening, in the church
of st. Francis, San Francisco.
There will be q meeting OF the
Republican Central COMMITTEES Of
Lyon County, in this city, at 2
o'clock this Saturday afternoon.

TINEs reporter, yesterday, that the
Amazon and Glasgow mines would
be in full operation in about a week.
The roads throughout the county.
which have been muddied by the re-
cent storm, are already dry and dus-
ty--and 30 is the road from this
city 10 Gold Hill.
Tbs political pot is beginning to
simmer in this county. It will prob
ably boil in 9 few days, but from
present appearances the campaign
will be tame one, nevertheless.

the Silver Leaf Gold and Silver
Mining Company will be held at
Philip Geyer's brewery, in this city,
at 2 o'clock tomorrow Sunday
afternoon. Important business will
come before it.

AN EVENING WITH THE SPIR.
IT'S.
Mrs Leslie-CarrOll's Lecture Last
Wednesday-She Predicts That
Bradley Will Be Elected. III.

Mrs. Leslie-Carroll the spiritualis-
tic medium, again lectured in the
Miners Union Hall, in this city, last
Wednesday evening. The audience
was more numerous and quite as Sc
lect as the first, but the lectures
fell far below her first effort, which
was really mastery argument, sup
ported by Biblical authorities, in ia
vor of rational spiritualism. At the
outset the lectures stated that she
had but just recovered from severe
illness and that she would not have
come to Silver but for the sake OF
keeping her faith with our people.
As she spoke il was evident that she
was still 30 weak as to be hardly
able to stand, and that she suffered
intense pain. The public seance,
which followed the lecture, was
much more entertaining, and the
audience we're frequently startled by
spirit messages referring to matters
of local interest which had long
been forgotten by even the oldest
members Of the community. These
were supplemented by the points in
stocks and politics which are the
usual Accomplishments of such enter.
tainments. At the close Of the seance
the medium announced herself ready
to reply to any questions which
might be addressed to her. Some of
those present availed themselves of
the privilege, to the general merri-
ment Of the audience. At least one Of
the replies thus made is worthy of
note at this time. Mr.. Angel hav-
ing inquired who would be the next
Governor, the medium requested him
to name the candidates. Mr.. Angel
did so, when the medium replied,
without moments hesitation, "Brad-
ley" The Ides of November being
close at hand, no great time will
elapse before the reliability of that re-
ply can be ascertained. Taken all
in all the entertainment was quite
ENJOYABLE. t+ GOV

ABOUT THE OvERMAN.


Think Of the Stock.
There il beginning to be consider
able talk, around town, about the
prospects at the Overman mine.
Some monts ago, a pocket of rich
ore, which appeared to be the top OF
an extensive body, was cut into on
the 1400-level, and the stock jumped,
with hardly q pause, from about $15
up to over $3.50. The workings have
since been extended to the 1900 level,
and preparations are now being made
to crosscut that level. Experts who
make it their business to keep posted
say that the prosecuting Operations
viii be commenced in about ten
days, and that, whatever be the re-
suit, the stock will inevitably advance
In anticipation. It would therefore
behoove those who have any 'smud"
about them to "corral" Q few shares

found there. But what DID astonish
me was to see the great number of
"hogging games"-a felony under
the statutes of this State-dealt upon
the public streets under the very
nose of the county officials. At ev-
cry corner, in every saloon, could be
seen the dealers of "Top-and- Bottom"
dice games, "Rouge ct Noir," The
Wheel of Fortune" Faro games
(hogglng), and a thousand and one
other means by which the unsophis-
ticated were robbed of their hard
earnings. This should not be so, and
is disgrace to our State.
THE LADIES' TOURNAMENT
Was rather tame affair. Graceful
females on finely gated and ele-
gantly -caparisoned steeds are elegant
things to look at; but no proof of
/" hOrsewomanship."
