Egypt.

In the attempt of England and France to
get control Of the finances of Egypt in the
interest OF English and French bondholders,
the khedive is apparently getting the start of
his otiiclous guardians. The khedivc having
dismissed the English and French agents, sent
over to manage his finances and complaint
thereupon having been made to the sultan, the
latter shows no disposition to interfere, while
the khcdive has issued Il manifesto in which
he says he will manage his own affairs in his
own way fight And nobody believes the

At the ice freshet, the bridge over the Pecum-
saugan creek was carried away by the ice. We
believe it is still gone. At any rate, after the
rains last week the bottoms near there, between
Utica and La Sale, were overhowed to the depth
of several feet On last Friday evening Frank
Miller, = butcher Of this city, attempted the
dangerous feat Of gong to La Sale by that route
Arriving NJ the creek, he either lost his route or
got INTO the creek where the bridge ought to be.
His wagon, team and self were carried out into
the Illinois river, and the horses becoming I'M
manageable, persisted in plungng further into
deep water What the end might have been we
know not, bat Franks cries for help brought to
his assistance some parties in skill, 10y whose
aid the property and Frank safely reached trro

WARD ITEMS.
From the ..Reaex" of Feb. IL

4 tAt 1et
Dan Murray, Justice Of the Peace Of this
township, died yesterday after an illness of
six weeks. His death was not unexpected,
as no hope of his recovery had been enter
tanned for two weeks past. The Judge was
one of the best informed men in this COM
munity and possessed of many stirling
qualities. AS a Justice of the Peace it was
generally conceded that his equal was not
to be found in the State. The Judge was
a native of Pennsylvania, and came to this
coast in 1852. and. like most OF the old pio-
nccrs, drifted to almost every mining ex-
element between then and now.
j.. J.. Matthews. a newspaper correspon-
dent hailing from Michigan, left Phoebe
last Monday morning intending to follow
the stage road to this place. Two miles
out OF Phoebe he took the wrong road and
crossed over the mountains to the west. He
travelled all day Monday, Monday night and
Tuesday without anything to eat on his
way. Finally striking Mr.. Lewis ranch at
the head Of the sink of White River and his
long hungry ride was over. Mr.. M. thinks
travelling in Nevada is risky business unless
a person gets the right road.
San Francisco District, just now, is the
place toward which all eyes are turned in
this immediate vicinity. 1t is safe to say
that district will draw off our surplus popu-
lation in the spring if not before. now that
that it is a i pretty well established fact that
a branch road is to connect that district
with the Utah Southern. III the district is
worth a railroad it is certainly proof that
good and permanent mines exist there.
|. Saturday a wagon load Of deer weighing
$500 pounds arrived from Beaver, Utah.
Not finding purchasers at the price asked
they were taken to Eureka, where 1t is
thought venison is in demand.

The Mountain View Mine.
The Typo Sun says this mine is one Of
the best properties in Eastern Nevada, and
we hope, ere long, to see it enrolled among
the bullion producers. 1t is situated
about ten miles north Of Typo, in the old
Hot Creek Mining District, and some six
miles from Hot Creek. Large bodies Of
ore are in sight in the mine, and about 400
tons Of rock, assaying ON an average el40
per ton, lies on the dump. Eureka is the
nearest place where it can be reduced. and
the cost Of transportation forbids its being
sent there. Negotiations are now in pro-
gress looking to the sale of the mine,
which. if successful, will give this section
another start on the road to prosperity.
Minor Matters.
Mr.. Ed. Robinson, Of the albion, is I'M
able IT, leave San Francisco, not having
fully recovered from his late illness.
During 1878 thirty-one species Of min
erals were added to the already large list.
Among these is one called Eurekasite, found
on an island in the Baltic Ocean.
The trouble between the two parties at
the Industry mine has not been settled yet.
The Ruby Hill Miners Union meets every
Friday evening. The Union is in a -four
ishing condition, and new members are
coming in every week.
Michael McInery, a miner working in
the c.. aud c.. shaft at Virginia City, was
killed last week by a blast.
Thirty years ago the profession Of min
ing engineer was almost unknown in the
United States; to-day the American Insti-
tute of Mining Engineers numbers over 700
members.
The capital stock Of Raymond & Ely has
been increased from SO, 000, 900 to S12, O00,-

out. Taylor Astrap being sick, they had no

among themselves made matters worse, and
