NOTES FROM LOVRLOCK.
The shortest Rou'c 10 the I X L
Mines.

A correspondent at Lovelock sends
the following items: Notwithstanding
the long letter from Saltwater in rela-
ton to the best route from the Rail-
road to X L, Captain Asher LEFT to-
day, January 18th, with full load Of
passengers over the new route laid out
last Fail to the mines. In Justice to
those wishing to 90 to the mines / will
state that the route from Lovelock is
the cheapest by one half compared with
the Wadsworth route. The passenger
saves the railroad fare from Lovelock
to Wadsworth, 81 Is, and the trip can
be made from Lovelock to the mines in
one day, while from Wadsworth it
takes two days. Miners who have
travelled over both routes have advised
all who come from Eureka and the east
ern part of the State to go by the Love
lock route and save $50 each and one
days travel by doing so. We have
two good hotels here. and plenty of
horses and conveyances to send travel
ers out ON short notice. Wugate &
Asher have purchased new four-horse
stage wagon, and the Captain can be
heard at an early hour singing out,
"All aboard for X l. :" and the same
day lands his passengers at the mines.
The Trustees OF Big Meadows School
District have reduced the teachers
wages from sos to $40 per month.
"A Dramatic Society is being organ
lied here, and will shortly give their
first entertainment.
The wires are being put in the new
telegraph Office, which will be open for
business in few days.
Mrs. Henry Theis has gone to Mis-
souri,, to visit her parents.

Piutes Gone to Washington.

A Piute delegation, consisting of the
old scalp-lfter Winnemucca, the Prime
ess Sallie, Naches and Buena Vista
Jim, left yesterday for Washington, to
see, the Great Father and state to him
their grievances personally. They have
long been anxious for an opportunity to
go East and see the country, and now
their curiosityis about to be grati6ed.
Special Agent Haworth telegraphed
here yesterday that he had passes for
four and was awaiting their arrival at
Ogden. 1t is probable that the Princess
Sallie will request the Government to
remove her tribe to Malheur, provided
Sam. Parish is appointed Agent instead
OF Rinehart, or to Yakima, If he is not.
The rank and file of the tribe, judging
by what they say, are opposed to this,
and say they will not be governed by
the Princess, who has been away from
them for years.

problem of spectrocopists to cause them
to appear at will. The problem has
recently been solved and now the OBJ
server can cut off the suns light so
efIectually as to study these beautiful
appearances at any time. Their size
and shape change, sometimes with in
conceivable rapidity, and sometimes SO

protuberance was seen to shoot out
from the suns surface, and attain a
