mencing January l, 1879, and annually
thereafter, an ad valorem tax of fifty cents
npon each one hundred dollars value of

The Silver State Amateurs seem to be
unfortunate. Their first performance was
so far above the expectations Of all who
witnessed it, that the opinion became uni
versal that a repetition would bring out a
good house. The attendance last night
was worse than on Wednesday, notwith-
standing which the boys did admirably,
and each filled his part satisfactorily. The
weather, it is true, prevented the attend
ance of a great many, but they certainly
were deserving o. a more liberal support
than that extended. Individually they
possess talent of no mean order, and they
would be successful beyond their most san
gnine expectations in a community where
they are not known. for it is an undeniable
fact that home talent is rarely appreciated.

a Sneez.nS Congregation.

On Sabbath night there was, as usual, a
largeand interested congregation assembled
in the Sixth Congregational Church,
located away down in the south division.
The pastor, the Rev. Henry T. Miller, was
preaching upon the ascension. The minis
ter had entered upon the consideration of
the subject, and the audience became very
attentive. The utmos stiffness prevailed.
AT this moment some one gave a suppressed
sneeze, which was quickly followed by Il
number of historical coughs, until the con-
gregation seemed entirely unable to restrain
itself. The minister was interrupted, and
found it advisable to discontinue his dis
course. Those present at the service felt
that some unciyilized wretch had PLAYED
an altogether too practical joke. A little
inquiry developed the fact that the sneez-
ing and coughing had been caused by some
body, then unknown, dropping a quantity
OF red pepper down the register, and, OF
Of course. what went down was bound to
M up, and the pepper followed prece-
dent. But the sermon was not finished, al
though the criminal would have been, ''by
the laying on of the hands of the Presby-
terry :" see first Timothy, fourth chapter
and fourteenth verse. Itmight be guessed
that there was a boy in it. Only a boy would
be guilty of such a thing. Like all the bad
boys in the books, he has been found out,
and Will be ingloriously ~peppered to-day.
The name of the young pepper-castor is
Arthur johnson. He is about sixteen years
old, and gets his seasoning generally in

SILVER REEF ITEMS.


From the Miner of the 4th inst
Silver Reef has added over one million
silver dollars to the currency of the
country during the year that has just
closed. We predict that the Stormont
Company alone will produce this amount
during the year 1879.
Father Seaman is thinking of building
a Catholic Church in Silver Reef. We have
no doubt Of his receiving ali needed assist
ance, as a church is badly needed, and the
Fathers services are sought by q large por-
ton of the population.
A friend of ours startled us yesterday
with the information that there was a
Bashi-Bazouk in town, but a rigid inquiry
has developed the fact that it is only the
clerk of IL of our mining companies
made up in n of those ungodly fur caps.
Wednesday last was a general cleanup
day at the Christy Company's mill. They
recommended operations on Wednesday
night.
Transfers in from Iron and Beaver
counties report the storm much the same
there as it was here.
We are informed that the pump on the
Stormont will start Monday or very soon
thereafter.

Difference of Level,

The new Yellow Jacket shaft at Virgil
mia must be sunk $3.50 feet to reach the
east drift run from the 2.200-foot level of
the old works. During the past month the
shaft was sunk 10S feet. This is very rapid
progress, the size of the shaft and the hard
character Of the rock considered. This
is probably the best that can be done in
the shaft, as every minute in the "a hours
is now made to count. Before the LIST of
March the shaft and drift will have con-
nected, and we shall see another mine that
has long lain dormant get up and take its
place in line with those in the front rank.
They have on the 2,000-foot level a body Of
ore some five feet in width, which they will
be able to thoroughly explore when the
shaft and drifts are connected. AT greater
depth, or in going north or south. this
deposit of ore may be found to expand
into a large and valuable bonanza.

J. Hceker Harris.

j. Meekcr Harris, aged 10 years, brother
Of Captain d.. s. Harris, of Galena, and
r.. Scribe Harris, of Dubuque, died at his
residence in Galena, ILL.,, on the LIST inst,
after an illness Of several weeks, the exact
nature of which the physicians were unable
to determine. Mr.. Harris had for many
yesrs been engaged in the mercantile bust
ness, and at the time of his death was pro-
p~rietor of the leading grocery house in Ga
lena. He went to what is now Galena
with his family in 1928, and was largely in
strumental, with his brothers, in develop
ing the mineral resources of that region.
During early steamboat times he was pro-
prietor of an extensive wholesale house
located on the levee, and furnished a large
share of the supplies required by the
Northwestern Territory. Mr.. Harris was
greatly respected in Galena, was a leading
member of the South Presbyterian Church,
and leaves a wife and two children. Belle
and Lynn l. Harris, the latter being a for
mer resident of Chicago. Mr.. Harris was
the uncle of ID. S. Harris and Mrs. T. J..
Maupin, of this place.

Well Resented.

We copy the following from the Salt
Lake Tribune .: 1.-THE brethren of
Pennington got their hands full on Tues
day. A number Of them had congregated
in the Coop. store in that town, when the
death of Judge Mexican was referred to-.
One of the Elders present said lie was
id glad to hear Of it" and he was only
sorry it had not occurred before. In fact,
Judge Mexican ought to have had his
throat cut long ago, and the Elder then
let loose a flood of the vilest epithets
against the deceased patriot and Christian.
1t happened that Mr.. Glib. Webb. a young
man who had a high regard for Judge Nc
Kean. was present and overheard the dirty
slang Of the Elder. 1t fired Webb's blood
to hear it, and stepping up to the foul
mouthed Elder, he said II can thrash
anybody who traduces the name OF Judge
Mexican" The Elder invited him to try
it on, and young Webb accepted the invi-
tation by knocking the Elder down. At
this juncture several other husky Elders
went to their brothers rescue, and were
each in turn treated to a knock-down at
the hands of the young man who had the
moral courage and physical ability to clean
ont the whole crew. Glib. Webb is a brick,
and we take the privilege of thanking him
on behalf of the friends of Judge Mexican,
as we'll as in our W right, for resenting
the insult.n

JONES,
On Nevada Mines and Politics.

On Nevada Mines AMI POLITICS.
A correspondent, writing to the New
FORK Graphic, says:
The following are some of the points
made by the brilliant Senator Jones, Of
Nevada, in a conversation: He says the
old Bonanza mines, in his opinion, are
done-"worked out like my old Crown
Point" He thinks the three adjacent
mines, Sierra Nevada, Mexican and Union
Consolidated are yet to yield largely. A
great mining development is at hand, but
the Senator still believes iu fiat money
issued by the Government on statistical
information and pushed and pulled accord-
ing to exigency. Senate Jones is not san
guine about q substantial revival Of bust
ness. Suppose we do draw all our bonds
back from Europe and then get all their
gold for our breadstuffs, what next? Hap
piness for America is not to be secured
through pauperism for Europe" What
is to be done with gold if demonetized?
"Why, the barbarian nations will still want
it--Chinese, Hindoos and Coreans. Sell
them the metals and bank on absolute
money ourselves" These views were grow
ing and we're u~nanswerable. 1t was q
great mistake that Grant had vetoed the
initiation bill of 1878, though Senator Jones
then rejoiced in it. Property was not APP
preciatiDg MOI likely to do SO, while gold
and bonds were. But houses, farms, fur
n%iture, fences, wagons, stock-the prop
erty Of the ~people-that grew less and less
in the paralyzing gold standard. San
Francisco would reach a limit OF $50, 900
people. Oregon was not growing SO fast,
but had more domestic civilization and
conteDt.
As to politics, Mr.. Jones thought general
Indifference prevailed in the North about
the South; it was a poor country where
everything was fried in boar's grease and
did not afford q square meal from Rich
mono to Galveston. The young men OF
the South looked brutal, as if thinking,
bod slam you, sir, what are you thinking
or not thinking about me ?" Those young
mems faces, so different from the open
eountenances of Northern youth, told a
tale of evil.
General Grant was the ~favorite for Presi-
dent and Senator Jones personal friend,
yet it seemed a tantalizing thing to say
that nobody else could run our Govern
ment. 1t made him (Jones) feel like say
ing: "Well, we'll just have it ruined for
fun by another person." Conkling was
Jones' favorite, but he thought Hamilton
Fish would be the safest man to get the
whole vote of the nti-Democratic forces.
He wanted nom Of either Blaine or Wash
burne."

in Eureka for a long time.
Tickets for twenty-five meals can now be
purchased at the Saddle-rock for SO.
James Singleton, Wells, Fargo & Co.'S

The sale of the effects OF the Richmond

Yankee Dodge, who has opened a new
variety store just above the Express Office,

asked for his goods.
The committee appointed to draw up a
bill Of incorporation, will. it is thought,
be prepared to report in about one week.
The question as to who should be teach
ers in the public schools, has at last been
definitely settled. The list will be found
elsewhere.
1t seems to be generally conceded that
Eureka is to be an incorporated city.
Many Of those who opposed it two years
ago are now its strongest advocates.
The report circulated during the past
few days, that Senator Cassidy had a bill
OF incorporation in his pocket when he de-
parted for Carson, has no foundation in
fact.
There will be a platform meeting at the
Methodist Church this evening, at Ia
o'clock. Several speakers will address the
meeting.
The Argonaut mine, situated in Meta

slant, by Jerry Fitzpatrick, J. J. Hayden
and J. d. Sullivan, all of which has been
duly recorded.
An affray occurred at the Miners saloon
early yesterday morning, between a man
named Smith and one Oscar Butler. They
were taken before Justice Cromer yester-
day, and were released upon furnishing
bonds in the sum of 500 each.

Terrible Accident at h Defrecs
Mine. TuscarOra.

About 5 o'clock on Tuesday afternoon
says the Times Repie,r, N accident took
place at the De Frees mine, by which Mar
tin Tiffany and J. J. Walsh were blown out
of all semblance Of humanity. The men
were at work in the north drift of the 40
foot level, and the full particulars of the
accident can never be fully known. ]. W.
Thompson, the engineer on duty, says that
some time yesterday morning he sent down
to the 410-foot level, about Is or Is pounds
of giant powder, and it is supposed that q
part Of this was exploded, occasioning the
heard the explosion and though it was loud
or than usual, he did not think of an &C.
cident until news was sent from below by
the men on the 210-foot level that Walsh
was killed. Mr.. Powell, the foreman Of
the mine, was ON the 4I0-foot level about
noon yesterday and noticed Is or 20 sticks
of giant powder leaning against the wall,
a few feet from where the men
were at work, and his opinion is, from the
examination made after the accident, that
Walsh exploded them while preparing for
a shot. He was one of the first in the mine
after the accident, and found Walsh lying
at the bottom of the shaft terribly multi
ated, and Tiffany a few feet distant in the
drift. The remainder Of the box Of powder
was at the bottom Of the shaft and unex-
ploded.
The scene at the shaft when the remains
were brought to the surface was sickeniDg.
Walsh's body was blown to pieces. The
head, arms and one leg was entirely gone;
the breast was literally torn asunder, show
ing that the unfortunate man must have
been very close to the pwder at the time Of
the explosion. The engineer was kept busy
for fully half an hour hosting the frag.
ments Of his body found from time to time,
by Mr.. Powell and his assistants. The
missing leg was not found at all, but the
arms and head were discovered after the
body had been sent to the surface. Tiffany
was not so frightfully mangled, the only
wound found being one in the left thigh,
sufficient to break the leg, but il could not
have caused his death, and it is supposed
that his death was occasioned by the shock
of the explosion. The unfortunate men
went to work at seven o'clock yesterday
morning and were congratulating them
selves on being kept to work, while so many
others had lately been discharged. Poor
fellows! They proved to be the unfortunate
ones before the sun went down. Tiffany
has a wife and three children living. here,
who were entirely dependent upon him for
support. Walsh also has a family in San
Jose, California, who will receive to-day
the news of his terrible death.

New Mining District.

The Elko Independent notes the discov-

been named Burner, ten miles west of what
was formerly known as Aurora, but now
called Good Hope, on the Winnemucca and
~Cornucopia road. The discovery was made
by prospectors from Elko, and assays from
the lowest prospect hole on the mines are
as follows: O'Neal mine, S434; Viola,
S1S7 so; Burner, S317 So; Nevada May,
81 ,l31. The veins are reported as being
large and we'll defined, and it is expected
that the camp next season will assume
position Of Importance.
