storm Of the season. In some lQcali-

at this time of the year is feared by
some, especially mill owners along
Moose river and its branches, will
cause some trouble when it melts.

THE BANNER MINE.
One of the Most Promising Proper
ties In the District.

The Ruby Hill "Mining Report" Of yes
terday has the following regarding the
Banner mine BOUNDED on the north by
the Matamoras and Williams mines, two
well-known ore-producers, and on the
south by the Deadbroke, a recent and rich
ing into by anyone to be assured of its
wealth. But a sight of its perfect ore-vein
does one good. The shaft of the Banner
is only 1875 feet from the south line of the
ore, and the prospectors followed the
hanging wall until pay ore was struck, and
this was upon the foot-wall, with a soft
seam Of rich carbonate lying thereon. A
pick easily removes this and then a blast
into the quartz which hangs to the upper
walls d~islodses vast qaanti ties OF ore nj
every shot. A shaft 300 feet has been sunk
on the Banner; all the way is good ore and
with the best defined wall the writer has
ever seen in any camp of Colorado, AriZo-
ma, Utah or Nevada. Horse power does
the hosting, aud when we consider the
cost Of keeping stock on Prospect noun
tain and the packing Of ore down from
there, it is plain to be seen that it must
be a very rich mine that viii
pay sGch expenses. A very small
amount of money would place
this mine up among the leading ore pro-
ducers Of Nevada, and it could De dana in
this way: Mr.. Stevens, of tie Orange tun-
mel, is running in towards TIE Banner
shaft, say % or 30 feet lower, and is now
not over $50 feet from the bottom OF this
shaft e0nnaefIpp poul1 he etfgpfa1
with this tunnel very satisfactorily to all
parties, aud il would save the haisting at
such an enormous expense, and would
place the Banner ore where it could be
loaded right into wagons. We were aston
ished in visiting the Banner to lind it only
a prospect as yet, not over 60 tons of ore
having been stopped out on the south side
Of the main shaft. though plenty is in
sight. The last so feet Of the shaft has not
been driited from AZ any point. 1t was
let out to a contractor, aud though
showing as fair prospects rs any above,
the company have all they can attend
to nearer the mouth of the shaft.
On the 300-foot levol a north drift was
s~tarted--say u feet-in ore and ledge mat
ter. The 2T5-foot level is drifted north
IS feet in good ore. The 200-foot level has
q drift following the ledge north no feet
a prospect and the head is in first-class
ore but to make clean work, the force
now employed in the mine are stopping in
the l50-foot level and from above. They
are working on this level as far as 40 feet
north of the shaft in a vein Of from ) to
10 feet in width, and will run $50 per ton.
The ore-vein averages very nearly the
same all through the mine in width and
quality Of ore. There is tho hunting for a
ledge in this mine; it is here with the
prettiest walls on either side Of the ore
body ever seen, and were the owners pre-
pared with the means of hosting and ship
ping or reduction furnaces to treat their
own ore, then indeed would the Banner
prove a bonanza.

Says the DAILY Exchange: Eureka,
Nevada, has organized a club after the
Caucasian style. At u late meeting it was
resolved without a dissenting voice. THAT
members of the club shall not, knowingly,
%patronize any one who employs Chinese
in any capacity. aud that it is the sacred
duty of the members to drive out the Chi
pese. peaceably if they can, but forcibly if
they must" 1t seems to MS that the eau
casian clubs in refusing to patroniz
those who employ the Chinese in
any capacity declare against their
own leaders and almost all other prom
ising politicians. The politician has to
make use of the Chinese as q ladder to
preferment, as a topic of discourse, and
virtually as a means of livelihood. With
out the Chinese on this coast hundreds
of politicians would nave to go to work
to earn their whisky. The Chinese sup
port them, and in asking these gentlemen
to drive out the Mongolians we only re-
quest them to throw way their own
bread and butter and break their own
demijohns. Serious as this calamity is,
however, the Chinese must go.

A Relic of the Past.

Midway between Carson and Reno the
traveller sees a decayed and sleepy village
1865 that was one Of the most busting
camps on the coast. Its population was
constantly shifting, but at any time during
the height of its prosperity it numbered
over 5000. The miners, prospectors,
farmers and traders flocked in from all the
country round to drink End gamble. Its
liveliness. Such was Washoe City in the
days of its glory. but a few years saw il left
empty and deserted, its saloons closed and
its faro banks busted" And to-day the
tourist, whose careless eye rests upop its
ruins, little dreams of its former magnifi-
cence.

Virginia papers contain the particulars
Of a desperate fight which took place last
Saturday evening at Mason valley, Church
i'll county. between two brothers, John
aud Morris Lancaster. John was instantly
killed and the left eye Of Morris was de-
stroyed. The Enterprise" states that the
trouble grew out Of a disagreement about
the use OF water used in common by John
Lancaster and his father for irrigating
their farms. Before reaching the fathers
fields the water flowed through those of
Johns. Johns wheat was ripe enough to
harvest (and be intended beginning to cut
it last sunday, but the wheat on his
fathers land required the water for a few
days more. John was determined to harv-
est his grain. and refused to allow the
water to run through his fields.
Morris went TO the house of his brother
for the purpose of trying to prevail upon
him to let the water run to the fathers
wheat fields. When he arrived John be-
gan making sport of him, bringing up the
matter of his having fits, and saying it had
injured his brain. that even then he was
crazy. He called upon his hired men to
observe the insane actions of Lis brother.
Morris then called John the worst names
he could find, and said all the bad things
about him he could think of.
This PIT John in such rage that he ran
into his house and returned armed with n
shotgun. Morris was armed with q re-
volver, and the firing at once began.
After John had emptied both barrels of
his gun he charged upon Morris and began
beating him over the head with 1t, break
ing the stock in several places. Morris
used his revolver at this close range.

shot took effect in the heart. Morris fed
