A damsel stepped in Peed & Co.'s auction
establishment yesterday, and inquired Of
jim Dean if he had any 'illusion," mean
ing, of course, illusion lace. Jim scratched
his head reflectively, assured the lady he
had sufficient to supply the coast, and
commenced opening all the boxes in the
store, in ~momentary expectation that she
would find what she wanted, for Jim, as he
afterwards explained, ''didn't know what
the devil she meant by Illusion" Finally,
in pure desperation, he asked if it was
made of mahogany wood or leather, and
the indignant manner in which the young
lady walked out of the store convinced Jim
hat he had made a mess of it. The boys
improved their opportunity during the
day, and when they wanted some one to
''set 'em up" they had only to so to Jim's
store and ask if he had any ''illusion."

COMINS AT WARD.


HI Bulldoses y Meeting That Was
Called 70 Bulldose Him.
A gentleman from Ward, in White Pine
county, informs us Of a little episode that
occurred in that town a few evenings since.
There has been considerable kicking" in
White Pine about Senator Comins' course
on the railroad question during the late
session Of the Legislature. The Senator's
home is at Ward. The people there had
discussed the matter until they finally be-
came so hot that they determined to give
vent to their enraycd feelings through the
medium Of q public meeting. The idea
was to meet and adopt . series Of resolu-
tons @nunciatory Of Senator Comins and
the rest Of the White Pine delegation who
stood with the railroads in the Legislature.
Accordingly a meeting was called and a
majority Of the people Of the place as
sembled, some with an honest purpose to
express their views OH the subject Of fares
and freights, some to crafty personal or
political spleen, and all more or less ac-
tuated by idle curiosity. There were men
there cooked and primed with resolutions
designed to fay the recreant members
alive. The meeting had been organized
and everything was in readiness for a per-
feet cloudburst of indignant wrath. At
this juncture, who should enter the build
ing and walk quietly down the aisle but
Senator Comins himself. He was appar-
emily without supporters, but as our in
formant expressed it, che had HI in his
eye" He at once took the floor, without
announcement, and began to speak, ex-
planning his course in the Legislature ON
the railroad issue, aud saying that he had
nothing to excuse or take back, and If
called upon again to act would pursue pre-
cisely the same policy. He tllen proceeded
to say that he had acted conscientiously
throughout his legislative career, and that
who impugned his motives or hon
esty was a sneaking coward and
despicable liar I! He then remarked that
the meeting had been called for the avowed
purpose of aspersing his claracter-a thing
that no man could do with impunity.
They might overpower him, but he would
defend his official acts and honor with his
life, if need be. He marched around the
front seats, defantly shaking his finger in
the faces OF his most prominent enemies,
and daring them to bring forth their
cooked resolutions. No resolutions were
offered, and the meeting broke up without
action. At one stage there was a bit of Q
scuffle and several knives were drawn, but
nothing more serious happened than the
cutting OF n man slightly in the hand.
Our informant says he never witnessed q
finer display of undaunted courage than
was presented by Senator Comins. 1t was,
he says, pure and unadulterated sand Of
the best grit.
Death to the King Long live the
King Quite naturally the Senator cap
tured the crowd by his nerve, and the next
day he was the most popular man in town.

The Allen sisters.

These charming young ladies made their
first appearance before the Eureka public
last evening. The audience was an excel
lent one, both in point Of numbers and
respectability. and many Of our leading
citizens were present with their ladies'.
The attendance disproved the assertion so
frequently made that any company giving
a refined entertainment is always poorly
~patronized here. The programme was Of q
varied and entertaining character, and
showed the Sisters to be possessed of q ver-
satility scarcely to be expected in persons
so young. There will be o matinee this
afternoon at 2 o'clock, and a complete
change of programme this evening.

THE PHENIx.
A Marked Improvements I'm the
Mine-rhe IHoisting vi Gre q be
Commenced At Once.

a M8rkeu ~ORfOveunhe lm the
Mine-rhe Hoisting Of Ore I be
Commenced At Once.
The community will be glad to learn
that a marked improvement has taken
place in the Phenix mine within the last
few days. The ledge has been cut in the
drift from the five hundred foot level, and
looks most encouraging for a magnificent
Development. or course sufficient work
has not yet been done to accomplish any
thing beyond asccrtaining the mere fact
that there are several feet Of good ore in
sight. The new discovery was visited by
Messrs. Potts and Robinson, Of the Albion,
in company with Superintendent AIRING
ton, OF Thursday, and these gentlemen
pronounce the outlook most fiattering.
Tn ore body has steadily improved, day
after day. since it was encountered. The
average distance between the quartzite and
sha!e in the Phenix is about seventy-five
feet. 1t is thus seen there is plenty of
room for bonanzas Of good size. The ore
broken down thus far still lies in the
drifts. The dump was not in readiness to
receive it. This will be finished to-day,
when the work Of hosting ore will DO
commenced Immediately. There is a
strong probability that the Phenix may
turn out to be one Of the most valuable
Of onr mines. 1t will take a little time,
however, to demonstrate the extent of the
ore bodies 0 in the course Of develop
ment.

THE KIT CARSON ACCIDENT.


The accident at the Kit Carson mine on
Thursday, mention Of which was made in
our columns yesterday. was caused by the
falling Of the cross-head into the shaft. 1t
occurred at the time when shifts were
changed, and McFadden and Roberts were
descending the shaft, and after reaching q
depth Of about eighty feet they found that
the cross-head had caught in the guides at
the top Of the shaft. and was liable to fall.
1t was a terrible position, hut had they re-
tanned their presence Of mind they would
in all probability have escaped injury, as
the cross-head did not pass its usual place
on the rope more than a few inches. Both
men, however, endeavored to jump into
the bunting. Roberts was successful, and
escaped with a few scratches, but McFad.
den lost his hold and fell to the bottom OF
the shaft, . distance OF 100 feet. 1t was
charged that the accident was caused by
the carelessness Of the engineer, and he
was promptly discharged, but the Coro-
ner's jury evidently viewed it in a different
light, as they declared in their verdict last
evening that no blame could be attached to
any one. McFadden was from Donegal,
Ireland, single, and 81 years old. His
body was brought to Haskells undertaking
establishment, and will be buried to-day.
Operations at the mine have been Tempo
rarily suspended, owing to the want Of an
engineer.

A Change Of OwnerA-Werk - N
Commenced.
This valuable property has recently been
purchased by a New York company, and
will be operated by it under the name Of
the Bradford Mining Company. The mine
was recently surveyed and q map made by
Mining Engineer Z. N. Robinson. The
survey shows that very little work will
probably be required to put the mine in a
paying condition. The new company in
tend n work it steadily until il 10 fully
prospected. As the property is situated On
what seems to be the richest part OF Pros
pect Mountain, it is fair TO suppose that it
will soon rank % one VI the best paying
properties In the district. 1t has already
yielded something over one hundred and
twenty-five thousand dollars, and the indi-
cations in the lower workings are that it
improves as depth is gained. At present
the property is under the management OF
Mr.. Q. A. Stephenson, who informed us
Yesterday that work will DO commenced
next week, with o force Of about fifteen
men, extending the tunnel and prospect
ing to the northward. We wish the new
company success, as it will, If a profitable
investment, bring more capital here to de-
velop the district.

strike i'm the III Dorado No. =.

The Ell Dorado No. 2 il situated on
Prospect mountain near the Eureka Tun-
mel. 1t is owned by NJ. II. Josephs. Panl
Fifeld and W. j. Ma!oy. The ground is
patented. The work Of sinking and drift
ing has been carried forward steadily dur
ing the past winter. Lately the boys have
come upon what they regard as a most ex-
cellent prospect. They have got into a
soft formation carrying some fair grade
ore. They have little donbt that they are
on the edge Of a paying deposit. But all
a: once they have encountered bad air and
must put in 200 feet of piping before they
can further prosecute the de velopment of
their new find. The pipe will be provided
at once, when it is hoped that the Ell Do
RADIO No. 2 will give a good account Of
itself as all ore producer.

Of the patent, alleging that the site in

consequently their claims are null and
void,
