BRIEF MENTION.


Since the first instant nine gaming
licenses have been issued for residents
of Sutro.
Ice a quarter of an inch thick
thick formed in this city last Wednes-
day night.
The fruit trees in Jake Hanson's
yard, Dayton, have not been injured
by the recent frosts.
Charles Ali has taken up his res
idencs in Virginia. He will go into
the insurance business.
The sub.drain of the Sutro Tun-
mel will be finished by the time
agreed upon, if not sooner.
Since the first of the pay days the
merchants of Sutro have been so
busy that they have hardly had time
to eat and sleep.
It's proposed to hold a spelling
match in Virginia sometime in June,
in which the entire State of Nevada
will be invited to participate.
Miss Emma Midgeley came in from
Bodie last Thursday. She will re-
main among us for week or ten
days. Rumor has it--but rumor is
very unreliable dame.
The shortest road from Virginia,
Carson and intermediate points to b.
die, is by way of Eld0rado Canyon.
There is good wagon-road all the
way, and 1t IS twenty-five miles
shorter.
The expenses of the funeral of
Chaquette, miner killed in the
Sutro tunnel, recently, were paid on:
of his wages for the past month, and
the balance due him was sent to his
parents.
The employees of the Sutro Tun-
mel Company are not all paid yet.
From present appearances the tunnel
burg will have thirty pay.days a
month, as long as the present rush
continues.
No deed to lots in Sutro have been
recorded as yet. They should he
recorded as soon as obtained, and if
the originals are lost the purchasers
can obtain certified copy of them.
Otherwise, otherwise.

leading towns of the State, to organ

ranks, just now. At q meeting held
last Monday evening, 70 new men,
bers were installed, and action was
deferred on over so other applica.
tons.
There are three prisoners in the
county jail. All three are from SUI
tro. They are well fed, but COM

The Commissioners are determined
that the charge 10 the county from
this cause shall be as light as pos
sibe.
There is no map Of the town of
Sutro in the office of the County
Recorder. That official should see
to it that one be procured at once,
for the convenience of the citizens
who may wish to consult it. The
law requires that such a map shall be
kept there.
The water pumped into the Sutro
Tunnel by the Julia company flows
into the Savage mine, through the
winze which was being sunk to the
l6OO.level of the Savage by the tun.
mel people, when they were enjoined
from doing so. The Julia water
therefore gives no further trouble to
the tunnel people.
George w. Cook, of this city, has
leased half Of the Ramsdell mill,
and will run 1t on ore from the Cook
