: Robert K. Perdie died at McJilton's
arrastra, near the DEVILS Gate, last
Saturday evening. For many months
he had been suffering from some
lingering disease the symptoms of
which are almost identical to those
Of pulmonary consumption, and his
death did not surprise those who knew
him aud saw him painfully drag him
self about the streets of this city for
weeks past. The Coroner Of Storey
county, however land, possibly, with
due appreciation of the Official fees),
held an inquest, when the jury found
a verdict that death was due to natural
causes. The deceased was about 33
years Of age, and native Of Prince
Edwards Island, Dominion of Canada.
His remains we're buried in Storey
county.

COMO DISTRICT.

Mr.. Frick States the Terms Upon
Which He Will Move His Mill
There.
Mr.. Prick, the owner of the mill
In Cedar Ravine, Virgins, was inter-
viewed by TIMES reporter last Mon
day. He said that he was quite
ready to move his mill to Como and
could have it up in two weeks if the
miners there would guarantee him
4 900 tons of ore to crush for $40 per
ton. With the first 500 tons he
would experiment until he had ascer-
tanned the possible percentage of
yield on the assay value--after which
he will guarantee stated percentage.
He adnits that $40 is high price
per ton for milling, bat claims that
he should be allowed liberal mar
gin for the risk he would assume in
taking his mill to a new district. In
case the miners accept his PROPOSE
ton, Mr.. Prick will be satisfied with
the guarantee of the Eureka COM
pany, as there are over 1000 tons of
ore already in sight in that mine
alone. This ore is now being hauled
to Dayton for reduction by the Lyon
Mill and Mining Company, at cost
of $l2 per ton.

The KOssuth Mill.

The plans and specifications for
the mill which the Kossuth Mining
Company propose erecting in this
city are being prepared, but bids for
the work will not be called for for
some time. 1r. Goddard, the trustee
OF the company who has been here
during the past two months, super
.vising the operations at the mine, has
been called to San Francisco to con-
suit with the full Board Of Trustees.
He will leave for San Francisco in a
day or two, and on his return, about
two weeks hence, the contract for
building the mill will probably be
Jet. The dump at the mine is full of

Mr.. Sutro returns, and consents to a

Sutro, it is stated, comes from the

the schoolhouse, if built on the lot
given for the purpose by the tunnel

Meeting at Pasadena.

A meeting of the ladies and gen.

to an address from Judge Brunson
on the new Constitution.
The meeting was called to order
by w. T. Clapp, Esq, who noml-
mated ]. F. Crank. Esq, as Chair.
man, with Frank Potter Secretary.
Judge Brunson took up the new
Constitution article by article and
dissected each with the hand of a
master. His exposition of the
dangers of the annual session OF
the Grand Jury; the absurdity of
the system of opening streets and
roads; the danger of imprison-
ment for debt; the mandatory
character of the instrument In
general, the disfranchisement of
native born citizens, the restriction
of the publication of the laws in
foreign languages, ridiculous pro-
visions with regard to the taxation
of schoolhouses if used for iniscel.
laneous purposes, the expense at.
tendant upon making q police
court a court of record, the appoint
ment of county officers, the liabili-
ty of Directors, the Limitation of
ownership of land by II corporation

tween railroads and steamboats,, the
danger of meddling with present
water rights, the system of double
taxation, the disruption of the
school system, and the denial OF
the right of the wife to the common
property with her husband, were
dealt upon in masterly manner.
The speech occupied over two
hours in delivery, but our space for
bids mention of its eloquent and
logical points and deductions. 1t

Fable LVI.
Tho Belly and the Members.

In former days, when all a mans
limbs did not work together as am
icably as they do now, but each
had a will and way of its own, the
members generally began to find
fault with the belly for spending
an idle, luxurious life, while they
were wholly occupied in laboring
for its support. and ministering to
its wants and pleasures; so they
entered into conspiracy to cut off
its supplies for the future. The
hands were no longer to carry food
to the mouth, nor the mouth to re-
ceive the food, nor the teeth to
chew it. They had not long per-
sisted in starving the belly into
subsection ere they all began, one
by one, to fail and flag and the
whole body to pine away. Then
the members were convinced that
the belly also, cumbrous and USE
less as t seemed, had an important
function of its own; that they
could no more do without it than it
could do without them, and that if
they would have the constitution
of the body in healthy state, they
must work together, each in his
proper sphere, for the common
goo of all.
Here is whole sermon in one
fable. 1t is II lecture on political
economy pregnant with thought,
and hope my fellow workingmen
may take it to heart and not be
guilty of the same folly as the
hands and mouth.
OF course the ro-Constitutiona
leaders in this county wont see the
point of this fable, for were it pos
sible to obtain candid statement
from them, they would tell you,
for the good of their bodies and
souls, they wish this rebellion of
the fable might have been success
full so far as they are concerned.
The hands and mouths for them
have been too willing agents, and
now with gorged bellies they have
grown dyspeptic and pray that the
hands may be withered until they
recover.
