What 10 Manner.

What Is manner? Manner Is the out.
ward department Of one individual TO
another; which Is as much as TO say, the
outward and phenominzi relation OF one
Individual 10 another. Now, every person
II we make exception OF monarchs-can
stand toward other people in three distinct
social relations. You nay be the superior
Of the person you are speaking to, you may
be bis equal, or you may be his Inferior !;
aud venture TO say that your manner
will be good or bad according as 1t recog.
nZes or fails to observe the fact in each
case respectively. Am not addressing
my ysef 10 those persons who avow them-
selves insensiole 10 subtle distinctions.
aud whose only notion OF distinction be-
tween one manner and another Is that IL Is
vulgar or the rsverse, polite or the oppo-
site. | address myself 70 those who make
ieryerUasJp Jpt that fine manners have suf-
infinite shades and gradatiohs os"..sIi the

to be able TO tell At once which Is the su-
perior and which the inferior-supposing

distinction be by no means . strongly
marked one. Ask him how he knows !;
and he can no more tell you how, than one

Into Bodie Bluff the delivers are
still pressing their way. and with a
vignr and pertinacity which surely
deserves and will as surely bring re.
ward in the shape of fine clear-cut
lodges, big assays, and large ship

ing done in all the mines. The
Standard made its usual shipment of
bullion on the 9th instant, amounting
to $39, 1903 81, making total for the
month Of March Of $73,504 20. This
is a very fair months work, and
shows what the mine can do when
its facilities are increased.
The present depth of the Real del
Monte shaft is 1858 feet. 1t is reported
that ore has been struck, but the Su-
perintendent declines to either con-
firm or deny this report, his answer to
all inquiries being that "indications
are good"
New mines are reported In the re-
gion Of Sweetwater postoffice, about
forty miles from here. Quite a mum.
Der Of persons left here on Monday
for the new excitement. Some went
by way of Bridgeport and others by
Aurora.
The rapid melting of the snow has
caused considerable water to flow in
the different gulches and canyons in
and around Bodie, and many of our
old miners have taken advantage Of
it and are washing out considerable
gold.
Ga the completion Of repairs to the
Syndicate mill it will resume crush
ing Bechtcl ore, o contract having
been let to run the mill on ore from
that mine for two months. The mill
will be ready about the 18th instant.
Last Thursday night shooting
ARRAY occurred between Mateas Al
cantra and John McTigue, in which
the former was so severely wounded
that he is not expected to recover.
The work If setting the boilers,

Mono mill is nearing completion, but
it will take another month to get the
mill ready for working.

strels open at Piper's for one week.
The Eureka Sentinel says of this
talented company: The opening
night was signalized by the assem-
bling of Q large and fashionable au-
dience at the hall, and it was pleasant
to notice that a great majority Of the
reserved seats we're occupied by
ladies. The merits of the troupe en-
titled them to an ovation, and il con-
tinued applause and unceaslng mer-
riment is an indication of approval,
it is certain that they received the
unanimous verdict of those attending
to that effect. They were not seen
to the best advantage, as the stage
limits were 80 circumscribed as to
limit the ebony circle, and compelled
the orchestra part to seek position
on the floor Of the hall. Notwith-
standing the drawbacks Of made
quate room, and lack OF space where
in to show their merry quips and
quirks to the best advantage, their
splendid and finished performances
stamped them MS heightened and tai
ented artists, and we doubt there be-
ing n superior organization Of burnt
cork opponents in the business. ,t

No Suit Commenced.

Referring to the report that the
Sutro Tunnel Company had set up
claim to the Con. Virginia niue, the
Independent says: "No suit has been
commenced as stated by several news
papers, nor can one as yet be insti-
tuted, for the reason that a vein must
first he cut, discovered or developed
by running and constructing the
Sutro Tunnel, before legal claim
can be established. 1t will require
ut least six months before the big
bonanza can be reached; and it re-
mains to be seen whether the Sutro
Tunnel Company will enforce its
legal rights to this valuable mining
ground, and the thirty millions of
dollars which have been extracted
from that portion of the mine.
"rhe whole question involved is,
what constituted and was recognized
as the Comstock lode on July 25th,
1866, and whether the ore body form
ing the Big Bonanza was known to
exist and discovered at that time, and
ID the actual bona iide' possession of
any person. II 1t was not, the Sutro
Tunnel Company will very likely go
to the trouble to recover what, under
the law, it is rightfully entitled a."
The Tunnel Company has fled q
protest against granting the applica-
ton Of the Con. Virginia Company
Tor pateLt, aud will if possible delay
final action until the tunnel cuts the
Comstock lode, and the rights of all
parties are settled.
