kindly placed a friend in the claim. After
a while he was offered SIS, 200 for IL, and
ON finding the other half owner, discovered
he was in an advanced stage Of ~intoxica-

had not put up a dollar in the claim, con-
cluded "Worth (hic) a million (hic) IL
it's worth 9 cent (hic). Won't sell (hic)

A Long COurtship and a Happy
Marriage.

The Enterprise OF the 26th gives the fol-
lowing account Of a very happy marriage
that took place in Virginia on Christmas
night "Last evening, by Bishop Manogue
at the Catholic Church, were united In
marriage J. J. Nichols and Miss Kate
Quigg. The courtship Of the couple has
lasted ten years, the course Of true love-
running perfectly smooth all the time.
Miss Quigg has been a servant in the FAM
lily Of Colonel James G. Fair for the past
seventeen years. She has raised all the
children Of the family, SO to speak, and
having done her whole duty in this re.
spect. she at last consents to make her pa
tient and ever-faithful lover a happy man
by becoming his wife. A very pretty and
very solid feature of the affair last night
was the presentation to the bride by the
children Of q SIS, 900 Government bond as q
wedding gift. This was doubtless done
through the connivance Of Colonel and
Mrs. Fair. This gift will make Mrs. Mich
OILS ''solid" for life. She may now clip off
her coupons as regularly as the farmer
shears his sheep,

A private letter from Philadelphia, in
the great State Of Pennsylvania, says the
Phoebe Record, states there is a missionary
preaching in that city on the heathenism
Of Nevada, and is trying to raise funds to
instruct the said heather on the precepts
Of the Bible. He says the only way any
visitor to this State would know it was
Sunday was by the banks and c~ourt-houses
being closed. Our readers can ponder and
reflect on the above, but it is our opinion
that the old fraud calling himself a mis-
sionary is collecting for No. l, as the peo-
pie OF Nevada are, as a majority, better
posted on biblical lore than the citizens Of
the Eastern States,

Mr.. Mcmahon has fitted up the old Coun-
ty Hospital into a first-class laundry. His
quarters away at the north end of town
were too small for his increasing trade, and
so he secured his present building. 1t was
at no small expense that the place was
thoroughly purged, reprinted, whitewashed
and arrangedfo the laundry business, but
it is now complete. The drying room is
dust-proof, and every department is under
excellent management. Some eight or ten
employees are kept constantly at work, and
we are glad to record that Mac is succeed
ing beyond his greatest a~nticipations.

An italian, whose name we were unable
to learn, was brought in last night from
one Of Joe vanina's coal ranches, about
twenty miles from Eureka. The man was
engaged in burning coal, and by some
means fell into the pit. His legs and the
lower part Of his body were burned to a
crisp. DIR. Thoma was called to attend the
unfortunate man, but he was so badly
burned that the Doctor could render him
but little assistance.

rustic in a new country, and we should

Hon. George W. Merrill, Assemblyman-
elect from Eureka county, has been spoken
OF frequently by the press Of Nevada. since
his election was assured, as being first
choice for Speaker. We believe he will
have no opposition. He is thoroughly
eonversant with the established rules and
customs OF legislative bodies, and as a pre-
siding officer has no superior in this part
OF the State. Eastern Nevada is in for
some OF the honors, and we'd as leave see
District Attorney Merrill shoulder them as

OUR WATER SUPPLY.

" ssAA
Driving Ahead, Prospecting and
Making ImprOvements-Wha 1t
Has Done and Is Aiming to Ac.
cOmplish.
Another year is drawing to a close, and
the Eureka Water Company. with superin-
tendent Ed. Bliss at Its head, has done
much toward furnishing the town with an
"inexhaustible supply" during the past
twelve months. In reviewing the past
years it is astonishing to note how little
attention has been given to furnishing u
citizens with water and how little they
have been able to get along with-(no
goak). The fire of 1869, which swept half
Of Eureka into ashes, awoke the water
company to extra exertion, and the fire Of
1880 only checked contemplated improve
ments in their works. During the year
which is about wound up Superintendent
Bliss has worked necessarily, with a crew
Of helpers, 10 increase the water supply.
He has added, or will have added in a
short time. the waters from three addi-
tional springs, one OF which was located
nearly a year ago, and which has proved q
| bonanza in its yield.
Much has been supplied from the head
Of Eureka Canyon by tunnels and the lay
| ing Of pipes, and when the contractors
| will have finished the drifting work now in
| operation they will be put at work to bring
| over water from the east side OF Pinto
summit.
THE NEW TANK,
At the top Of Mob Hill, is of notable inn
portance to Eureka. 1t is of los, 900 gal
| Ions capacity, and, together with the other
| tanks, gives US not less than 10000 gal
Ions of water which furnish the fire
mains at a moments notice. The COM
pany now have five tanks filled, and their
capacity ranges from 10000 up to loS,ooO
gallons each.
THE ARTEsIAN WELL
Is already a pronounced success. The
| contract for sinking calls for the same to
be put down 100 feet. 1t is now down fifty
| feet. and the flow into II Is sufficient to al
low 100, 900 gallons to be pumped there
from daily.
WATER MAINS
And pipes have been extended during the
year upon the east side Of town, above
| Paul street, in places all over Mob and
| Atlas Hills. and far above the Eureka Con.
furnaces, In the north end of town.
Aside from the wonderful energy dis
| played by our citizens whose homes and
| business houses have been swept away, no
enterprise in Eureka has progressed so fa'
yorably and beneicially as that controlled
bv the water company.
