Last Friday some horses running on
Table Mountain turned up missing, and
three of them, belonging respectively to
Messrs. Parker, Curley and Tweedie
were nowhere to be found. Messrs.
Parker, Hoops and Williams started on
their trail, following them by tracks from
Table Mountain to the outskirts of Belle
vile, where they found them in the pos
session of three Mexicans. Constable
Gildersleeve was notified, the horses re-
Claimed, the Mexicans arrested and de.
livered at the Jail here about IL o'clock
last Tuesday night. Constable Glider
sleeve should be more cautious in the
future in searching such characters. On
their arrest he searched them but found
no arms. On being locked up they were
again searched and found to have large
Remington six-shooter, six.inch bowie.

possession. 1t is more than likely that

A summary of the quarterly assessment

A summary of the quarterly assessment
rolls shows that the value of the gross
proceeds of all mines in the State for the
quarter ending June Both, 1880, amount
ed to So, 2lO, 466. 27, while the net yield,
on which taxes were paid, was only ST.
Oh, 922.9S. This was taxed for county
purposes Sl9,4l2.09 and for State pur-
poses S5,52S.O5. At this rate the State
revenue for mine products will be only .
little more than $4,000 for the entire
year. This is a falling off from 1878 of
about $50, O0O-and is matter calcu-
lated to set us thinking. -[Carson Times.
Silver State: In early days, in Hum
boldt, mining district was organized in
Puebla mountains, in the Northwestern
part of the county, and several claims
were located. One c. w. Watson, was
one of the principal mine owners in the
place. In consequence Of the Indian war
in 1865, the mines were abandoned, and
since then have not been worked, or even
prospected, to any great extent. A letter
from New York informs US that Mr..
Watson is now in that city endeavoring
to organize company with 81, 000, 900 to
develop the Puebla mines.
A dispatch dated at Whisky Flat, E.
meralda county, August 23d, says: This
camp has bsen badly scared lately. Dur.
the last few days much sickness has
prevailed among the men in tho Survey
ors' camp, known as the Berdan and Per.
rim camp, now surveying this part of
Nevada. On last Sunday and Monday
there were two taken down; Three moro
on Tuesday and two on Wednesday. All
seemed to be taken with the mountain
fever, then about the second day they
would have dysentrey. From this attack
they would recover very weak and hun.
cry, and yet they could not suffer the
pain to swallow food. All food had to
be taken in liquid form. Most of the
sufferers are now able to get around the
camp, but are still very weak. One man
got so frightened at seeing SO many taken
sick out Of only twenty-five that he left
the camp without waiting for his break.

THE FACTS.

The Silver Reef Miner was sued TO
libel BY Captain Lubbock, who was try
ing to sell : mine in Now York, which
the paper wrote down instead of up. Al
officer Of the mine tried to shut of thu
publication of unfriendly articles, bu
could not He then tried to buy tn,
paper, but could not do that. The jury
returned verdict of not guilty.
The above was taken from the Rene
Gazette, and Is utterly false, and we fee
confident that the Gazette knows nothing
about the circumstances Of tho case, fol
If it did, it would never have Of published
the item, thus assisting in creating q
wrong impression and doing agreat injus-
tice to Captain H. s. Lubbock, As honor
able gentleman as ever lived. When
Captain Lubbock went to New York for
the purpose Of disposing Of some mining
property, one Of the propr;etors Of the
Miner went the bookksepsr Of the Christy
NJ. 4 M. Company. and informed that
gentleman that the obnoxious articles
would not be published, and marked
"S3. 000' on piece of paper. The offer
was At once rejected, and the book
keeper took steps to try and prevent tho
publication Of the same, but was unable
in doing 90. It is true the jury in the
libel case ret -sasa . verdict Of not
guilty, but had the case been brought for
an attempt 1t black. mail, the result would
have been much different. Captain Lub.
book did not wish to injurs the proprietors
Of the Miner; but simply teach them
good lesson. Neither Captain Lub.
book, nor any Of his friends, ever tried
to buy the Miner, although ample oppor-
tunity was afforded them for doing so,
had they 10 desired. We have spoken
with number Of people from Silver Reef
in regard to the course pursued by the
Miner in this matter, and one and all
pronounced it a. being . high-handed
piece of matchmaking. The truth Of the
whole matter is, the proprietors Of the
Miner neglected their business and went
after "big game" and now have fallen
by the way-side. We make this state
ment in justice to Captain Lubbock.

COd.Liyer Oil I'm Disease.

The fish from which the oil thus named
is obtained is said by the British phar-
macopeia to he GadUs mOrrhUd, Lin. !;
but in the United States phormacopeia
it is said, with stricter accuracy, to be
derived from thst fish "and other species
of GadHs." The following are the spe-
cies of fish from which the oil is obtained
the Goldfish, the pollock, the coal fish,
the turbot, the ling and the dorse. The
chemical substances which cod-livcr oil
is found to contain are margaric, stearic
and cetylic acids, all of which are white
solids; oleic acid and volatile acids,
which are liquids; glycerine and hillary
matters, and gaduine. These are shown
in the relative proportions in which they
exist in oil. Besides these bodies, cod
liver oil contains minute quantities of
iodine, bromine and phosphorus. To
each of these ITS medicinal properties
have been referred, but the minute guam
titles contained in the oil, the difference
of opinion among authorities, and the
fact that other animal oils are found to
produce similar effects, are regarded us
proving sufficiently that cod-liver oil is
useful chiefly as an easily digested fat.

The Human Figure.

The proportions of the human figure
are six times the length of the feet.
Whether the form is slender or plump,
the rule holds good; any deviation from
it is departure from the highest beauty
in proportion. The Greeks made all
their statues according to this rule. The
face from the highest point of the fore
head, where the hair begins, to the chin,
is one teuth of the whole stature. The
hand, from the wrist to the middletinger,
is the same. From the top of the chest
to the highest point of the forehead is q
seventh. Ii the face, from the roots OF
the hair to the chin, be divided iuto three
equal parts, the first division determines
the place where the eyebrows meet, and
the second the place of the nostrils. The
height, from the top of the head, is the
distance from the extremity Of the fingers
when the arms are extended.
