menus OF ore VIII De increased as the

The refinery and furnace of the Hill
side Company are doing good work, the

Eugene Howell arrived on the hack
from Eureka last Tuesday, where he has
been sojourning the past month. There
must have been something very attractive
on the Base Range for Genie, although he
did come home alone.
DESTRUCTIVE WORMS. worms at
Panaca are still keeping up their work of
destruction and destroying everything
green. The other afternoon one of Pa.
naca's fair bellies, feeling drowsy, went
out in the garden, and throwing her love-
ly form on the grass under shade-tree,
gave herself up to Morpheus, natures
sweet restorer, and "Dreamt that she
Dwell in Marble Halls" The yound lady
happened to have on pair of green
striped stockings, and whilst in dream
land swarm Of worms came travelling
by, and espying the sleeping beauty's
limbs with green stripes around them,
very probably mistook them for couple
of bean poles that had been blown down,
and went for the supposed bean vines.
They ate the green stripes of the tockings,
and finding the material under the stock
ings so sweet and palatable, devoured
what little flesh there was on the young
lady's limbs before she awoke. 1t is
thought that the amputation of her limbs
is necessary to save her life.
For COUNTY CLERK. R. ]. Harmon,
of Bristol, proclaims himself as being
candidate for the position Of County
Clerk, subject to the decision of the Dem
cratic County Convention. Capt. Har-
mon is an old resident of the Pacific
Coast, and has principally followed pros
pecting. Over year ago Capt. Harmon,
while working at the Hillside mine, had
the misfortune to meet with an accident,
whereby his arm was broken in three diff
ferent places and disjointed at the elbow,
totally disabling him from following the
work of his choice; hence is compelled to
seek lighter employment. Those who
have known him for years speak very
highly of the gentleman and say that he
is in every way qualified and competent
to fill the clerkship. During our late un-
pleasantness Capt Harmon served at the
front for over three years in the 18th
Maine volunteer regiment. The Conven-
ton will do well to consider his claims.
The following notice has been issued
by the Board of Trustees of the Raymond
& Ely Mining Company: The indebted
ness Of this company amounts to $50, 900.
The property of the company, both real
and personal, has been attached by its
creditors, and is advertised for sale by
the Sheriff on the I'd Of September, 1880.
At the delinquent assessment sales the
company has bid in about 10000 shares
Of its stock; there are about &c, 900 shares
outstanding. We deem it our duty, as
Trustees for the stockholders, to give
them an opportunity to redeem the prop.
erty and pay off the debts Of the company.
We have, therefore, levied an assessment
sufficient for that purpose.
The political pot is beginning to boil.
Many Of our local politicians who "didn't
want any Office, wouldn't have one, and
said that there was no money in them"
are now very uneasy and think that the
public are flock Of geese for placing any
credence in what they uttered.
The real estate Of the Raymond & Ely
Company was sold at Sheriff's sale Thurs.
day noon for $50, 1862. Is, and was bid in
by the mortgages. We don't see why
they didn't make $52, S62.25, thus max.
ing it even change. Two-bits is the
smallest coin we have in this country.
