Mining in winnemucca Mountain.


Eight miners are now employed by
f. F. Torrey ON one of the Humboldt
Series mines in Winnemucca Mountain,
extracting ore for the Humboldt Re-
duction Works. The mine that is being
worked Is producing considerable ore
which, it is thought, will pay well.
Undoubtedly there are several other
mines in the mountain that would at
least pay expenses, as the ore can be
reduced at home. Were it not for the
heavy discount Of from IL TO II per
cent. of its assayed value on
silver bullion, caused by the de-
monetization act of 1878, these
mines would, in all probability,
be worked much more extern
sively than they have been or are likely
to be until law is passed authorizing
the free coinage OF silver at the mint.

A Leadville Romance.

GEORGE ROUAK is never at home un-
less in the saddle. This is no remark
able thing, perhaps, when it is remem-
bered that when Mr.. Rouak was q boy
he was a cOw-boy-One of the widest
kind, accustomed to swing the lasso as
he cantered over the plains. So it fol-
lowed that, after he had one day luckily
thrown his moose about the neck of
Dame Fortune, his habit of riding did
not leave him. Mrs. A. L. Watson, a
blooming young widow of twenty-five
years, also loves the pastime, and the
side-saddle is to her hammock swung
crosswise the two wings of the wind.
About one month ago-Mr. Rouak,
hailing from the Arkansas Valley, but
temporarily in Leadville, Col, for the
purpose of recreation, and Mrs. Wat
son, resident of San Francisco, then,
however, on a visit to Leadville-Uhose
horseback riders met by chance on the
heights of Granite, near the city.
What caused Mr.. Rouak to lift his hat
no one knows, but he did do such
a thing, and followed the salu-
tation up with various polite re-
marks. Within an hour, both con-
fess, the bachelor and widow were in
love. They rode back to Leadville as
the shadows of the mountains length
ened and spent the next few days max
ing inquiries respecting each other. As
both were given the highest praise
oy those who knew them, the acquaint-
ance was renewed, and rides to the
heights were taken daily. One week
ago, and just three weeks after the first
meeting, the lovers started again for
the heights, but this time a parson and
bridal party accompanied them. The
sun gilded the snow on the SUBMITS as
the party approached the place of
meeting, and betrOthal and things
were just lovely. Alack-aday As the
BRIDES horse, leaping rock, drew
near, he slipped and fell, throwing the
lady with great force to the ground.
Her right arm snapped, and she was
hurt otherwise. OF course Mr.. Rouak
and the others were in flutter, but
with wonderful pluck the bride re-
mounted her horse, and as all sat in
their saddles the ceremony was per-
formed. During the return to Lead
vile Mrs. Rouak suffered excruciating
pain, and the groom himself was al
most frozen. But romance is romance.

THE MARKED GRAVE.

BuWIE's rangers, out on the trail,
Had Enllopcd from early dawn;
But the prairie road wus cool and sweet
And green as garden lawn,
And the strong air stirred the blood like
Tho strong air scented with flowers and
pine.
Silent and stern and ready to fight,
They followed the Indian foe,
Tin Bowie cried: " Let the brides fall,
For the sun Is sinking low.
We must feed and rest or we shall fail,
Though fifty miles ON the Lipan trail"
They had reached a grove Of mighty oaks,
Into the shadows they went;
The saddles were loosenod, and beasts and
Were glad Of their leafy tent.
Said Bowie: "Just take your rifle, Hays,
And see how the land around us lays"
The youth went forward with up-head step;
Game back with aquicker tread.
q Captain, found beneath yon oak
his saddle and whip beside him lay.
reckon his horse has strayed away"
Yes, dead he lay in the blowing grass,
Lay sleeping ike any child.
One arm was under his curly head,
His lips stu family smiled.
Booted and spurred he had gone to rest,
But looked like a man that Death had
blessed
There was not a wound, or mark, or stain;
There was not a line to tell
Prom whence he came or what was his
name,
Nor whore he was wont to dwell.

A Wise Serpent.

Mr.. M. of our sister city, West Point,
was down on the river fishing last sum
mer, when he discovered a very wise
serpent. He was sitting near a rock,
under which was a snakes den. The
proprietor of the den came gliding up
from a foraglng expedition. and was
disappearing in the hole under the rock,
when, with dexterous movement,
Captain M. seized him by the tail and
threw him twenty feet away. The
snake hardly knew what had happened,
and again essayed to enter his domicil
in the same manner Again he was
treated as before. Never despairing,
for a third time the wiley serpent ap-
preached the rock. This time he came
deliberately, as if carefully contemplat-
ing the situation. Arriving at the mouth
of the hole, this time he deliberately
coiled himself up and put out his long
tongue, as if to take in the full situa-
ton. For a while he maintained this
defensive position, when he carefully
began to uncoil, at the same time dis
appearing tail foremost into the den.
This story is fully warranted by Cap
tain Nj, who stands ready to testify to
its correctness.-H Hamilton (Ga.) Jour

No Place for Them.

WE overheard, the other day, a man
lamenting that there was no class in
this country corresponding to the gem
try of England and the Continent. A
man who desired and was able to live a
life of elegant leisure, - found no place
for himself. Even in cosmopolitan
New York everybody is busy during
the greater part of the day. Men Of
wealth go regularly to their counting
rooms or their brokers' offices in the
morning, and almost everybody does a
days work of some sort. There are
clubs, to be sure, but they are frequent
ed during business hours only by empty
headed young fops, Cultivated and
intelligent men are not to be found at
such resorts before three in the after
noon. The consequence is that "ele-
giant leisure" is out of the question,
and the man who would willingly give
himself up to it is forced TO work to kill
time, II for no other reason.
Our first thought on hearing this
Ashtabula weekly telegraph. (Ashtabula, Ohio) 1880-1886, 1880-03-19

plaint was of the witty retort of the
American girl TO supercilious for
eigner who remarked that America
had no gentry. "What do you mean
by gentry P" she asked "Whv, n
gentleman is man who never does
any work, and whose father never did
any either" "Well,' said she, we
have plenty of that kind here, but we
call them tramps." And that is pre-
cisely what gentry" are--weaithy
paupers, educated tramps, people
whose only idea is personal enjoyment,
who never dream of making the world
better or richer for their having lived
in it, lt struck us that our complain
ing friend had paid this country, and
particularly New York City, the highest
compliment in his power. To be Ma
ton of workers, rich and poor alike
doing their part in adding to the world
accumulation of wealth and wisdom
what better thing could be said of our
country than thisP Ii is to the honor
of our rich men that they are not con-
tent with luxurious idleness; that they
use their gains in enlarging business
enterprises, and so doing the best kind
OF charitable work by giving employ
ment to those who labor with their
hands for their daily bread
We hope that it will be long before
this continent will be cursed with
gentry" For, that some may enjoy
themselves, producing nothing, others
must work and produce for them.
Every do-nothing, whether rich or poor,
is tax on his industrious neighbor.
With our boundless but undeveloped
resources, there is need of every dollar
and of every man to develop them.
There is no room for drones in the busy
American hives.-E.Ganiiler and Cdron-
icIe

A Hazardous Feat.

FIVE lads, who had been playing on
the English coast, near Plymouth, at
low tide, entered a cave in the rock
and remained there unobservant of the
rising tide until they discovered that it
was Impossible for them to escape from
their prison. They screamed and
shouted, while the swift waters, driven
by fierce gale, rushed in higher and
higher Hundreds of people, attracted
by the piercing cries, congregated on
the rock above, but they could
do nothing. No boat could live in the
boiling surf, and all looked helplessly
on, until two seafaring men--George
Andrews and Thomas Penny-offored
to attempt a rescue. They were fast
ened TO ropes, lowered over the pre-
cipitous crags, and, allowing them
selves to be washed into the cave by
the sea, succeeded in rescuing one boy.
This hazardous operation was contin-
ued until the five were landed ON the
rocks above.

The Farmers Convention.-This assem-
bage, on Wednesday of next week, attracts, and
deservedly, general interest throughout the coun-
ty, and the committee in charge are to be con-
graduated that in their initial effort they have
succeeded in securing the attendance not only of
the representatives the great interests of agri
culture presented by the highest official ofthe
National government to whom their welfare is
entrusted, but that the great commonwealth on
our northern border, which stands in the very
front rank regards agricultural progress, sends
a gentleman, not only of high official rank but
said to be, besides, one Of the most experienced
and successful of her practical farmers, who come
to confer with our own people as to the advance
ment of that calling which is the basis upon
which universal prosperity depends. Another
eminent Pennsylvania tears himself from an ex-
tensive veterinary practice to give warning
cry to our farmers as to the dangers which Turk
amongst our herds of cattle, and to urge prompt,
speedy and effectual remedies in cases coming to
light-this gentleman being impelled by no other
motive than to give timely aid in so good and so
important a cause. The reports and papers from
the other gentlemen expected to be present can
not but be instructive and interesting, whilst the
discussion of questions of local interest, ought to
evoke much animation and concern.
The politicians won't to style the farmers
the "bone and sinew of the land !" but we think
shall not 60 far astray in predicting that this
meeting will draw out an array of the intelligence
the true worth, dignity and solidity of people
which do not often meet in public assemblages
Let this be grand out-pouring of our agricul-
turists
