A Material Reduction I'm Wells, Fargo
a Co.'S Tariff.

Wells, Fargo & Co.'S Express Com
pany have reduced the tariff on small
packages, letter parcels, samples, etc.
to rates that will enable everybody to
patronize them. From and after this
date, packages and parcels not exceed
ing one pound in weight, nor $40 in
value, will be carried between all offices
of Wells, Fargo &. Co. west of Ogden.
Utah, for % cents. Gold, silver and
currency packages, not containing over
$40, will also be carried between any of
the company's Offices on the Pacific
Coast for % cents. Wells, Fargo &
Cos Express is the most popular corpo-
ration ever organized on the Pacific
Coast. 1t is reliable, and its agents
and messengers, without exception, as
far as our experience extends, are
courteous, obliging and gentlemanly.
That it is deserving of its popularity
and determined to maintain it, is proved
by this reduction at a time when it has
no opposition. If other corporations
would follow the example of the express
company, law makers would not be
compelled to flee from the wrath of
their betrayed constituents, and there
would be no necessity for paying them
to violate their pledges.

G. j. Barry arrived in town last
evening from the northwestern part of
the county. He brought some fine
specimens of ore from new mining
district just discovered about 40 miles
due west of Winnemucca, by Professor
w. Merrill. The mines are situated in
a low mountain range composed of
porphyry and stratified states. On the
north point Of this range some very
fine silver bearing veins have been dis
covered, sample of the ore from one
of which assayed 81, 400. The Merrill
claim, from which the specimen was
taken, is Is inches wide on the surface,
and shows rich ores along the groupings
for seven or eight hundred feet. This
ledge is encased in porphyry; others are
in slate, and also show good ores.
There are ten men in the district, and
room for thousand more. They have
organized new district, which they
named Jungo, and adopted the Silver
State District mining laws, and elected
Professor Merrill, Recorder. Samples
of the ore, which will compare well in
richness with anything of the kind yet
found in the county, may be seen at
this office. Mr.. Barry, who is an ex-
perienced miner, and has no interest in
the new mines, says the formation of
the country and the appearance of the
veins are very favorable for rich mines.
The mines are about twenty miles from

An Act of the late Legislature now

already done so, and the Board which
meets here next Monday, ought to do

Drunken k'iutes.

A number of Indians were on a
drunken spree last night. The savages
made considerable noise and had several
fights among themselves. One of them
was armed with pistol and threatened
to shoot any one who attempted to in
terfere with him. The squaws are
afraid of their lords when drunk and as
a consequence many of them sought
protection from white women last night.
Buena Vista John, one of the few In
dams who never drinks whiskey, says
they went to his camp last night and
prevented him from going to sleep, and
he wants the officers to arrest them and
make them tell where they got whiskey.
Two young bucks had severe fight
last night while drunk and bruised each
other badly.

Heavy Rains.

April is doing admirably. Heavy
rains have fallen here during the last
twenty-four hours, and the prospects of
a continuance of the same are good.
The hearts of farmers and stock owners
are gladdened, as the ground is now
tolerably well soaked, and the pros
poets for crops and grass are much
brighter than the most sanguine antici-
pated a week ago. A few more such
rains as we are now having, at inter
walls during the spring, will insure av-
erage crops of grain, and good feed for
stock in the ranges.

The citizens of Spring City, or, as it
is classically called, "Bung Eye, have
petitioned the Board of County Com
missioners to build small Jail in their
city. They say the county jail at Win
nemucca is fifty miles from them, and
the cost Of sending prisoners, who are
sentenced for few days for drunkenness
and fighting, to the county jail would
be about $50 each At present the
Constable is compelled to stand guard
day and night over prisoners, and as
there are at times at least half dozen
drunken men on the streets, it is i'm
possible for the Constable to take care
of them. Geo. f. Bell, Justice of the
Peace, writes that there will be at least
a population of l,0C0 in the township
this Summer, and that q Jail is an abso-
lutte necessity.

The Humboldt Damned at stone
House.


George Eames, who resides about 20
miles west Of Battle Mountain, has
erected dam across the Humboldt at
that point, ID feet wide on the bottom,
10 feet wide on top, and 10 feet high.
1t is built of solid rock, and extends
100 feet across the river. 1t is for the
purpose Of irrigating the level land be-
low, and ON both sidesi Of the river, so
that hay or grain ranchers will not be
dependant upon the rise of the Hum
boldt, or upon the uncertainty of rains
to secure a crop. 1t is also his inten-
ton to make fish pond above the dam
and stock it with fish which viii breed
in the Humboldt. This is a progress
i've movement, and Mr.. Eames is to be
commended for his enterprise. The
Evans Brothers, understanding the inn
portance of the undertaking, have pur-
chased a half interest in the dam and
bitches, and the Company propose to
furnish water on either side of the
river at reasonable rates. There is a
large quantity of good land there sub
lect to location, and fine chance for
thrifty settlers.
