JOHN X PISTOL.
An Apparently Unprovoked At
tempt to Kill Frederick Ward.

from the Virginia Chronicle, JUNE 20.I
The pop Of the pistol is heard on the
Comstock rather too frequently in these
days, and the worst of it is that men who
shoot at each other in Virginia are not
sufficiently skillful with the weapon to in
sure the safety of other people who take no
interest in the game. One OF these days
poor marksmen may get hurt by an indig-
nant community. Last night, between 10
and II O'Clock, John jenkins stepped into
his front yard, between A and Howard
streets, on the Divide, and called across
the fence to his next-door neighbor, Fred
erick Ward, asking if he was there. Mr..
Ward, who was sitting on his porch smok-
ing a pipe, replied that he was there, and
Mr.. Jenkins, being thus assured, turned
loose his pistol, surprising that he was aim
ing at Mr.. Ward. The latter jumped into
the cellar after the second shot, and called
to Jenkins not to shoot any more, as he
was not armed. jenkins was just fixing
his pistol for a third shot at his %neighbor,
when Mrs. Ward stepped between them
mi two men caught hold OF him. Jenk-
ms was arrested on a charge of assault
with intent to kill. and the examination
began before Justice Moses to-day. All
the witnesses examined on the part of the
State testify to the circumstance as given
above, and some of them further state that
the bullets from Jenkins pistol went so
wide of their marks as to strike a house
adjoining Wards. Ward says he does not
know why Jenkins should try to kill him,
as they had no quarrel since the settlement
OF a law suit about three years ago.. The
examination was continued until to-mor-
row, when witnesses for the defense will be
examined. Meanwhile Jenkins is in Jail.

A NuiSanfe.

EDITOR SENTINEL once heard a negro
minstrel say that it was true that ga man
and wife are one, but" he remarked, that
'if a person were to pass when my wife
and l were quarreling, they would think
there were a dozen Of us at least" But if
a person were TO pass a certain house on a
certain street 10 Eureka, almost any night
from 7 to II o'clock, he would think there
was at least a score of drunken Indians
gathered there for a fandango. And yet
for most Of the time a woman aud W.
children only are there; but the woman
has been on a d" jam" the most of the time
since the 4th of July, and | think that if
an officer should pass the door some night
he might find a good subject for Jim Ash
ley's lodging house. There is no chance
to sleep in the vicinity, generally, before l
o'clock, and it is a great annoyance to the
neighbors who have to work for a living.
II the thing is not stopped before long, the
name of the party will be exposed.

The Price Fixed by the Board of
Regents.
The Board Of Regents Of the Nevada
University held a meeting in Carson or
Wednesday. The object Of the meeting
was to fix the price per acre Of timber
lands belonging to the University Fund.
The annexed resolutions were adopted
Resolved, That the price Of State timber
land containing nut-pine, cedar, juniper
or mountain mahogany be fixed at SLIPS
per acre, and that land containing other
pine, fir, tamarack or other timber suitable
for manufacturing into lumber or timbers,
be fixed at $3.50 per acre, and that there
shall not be sold a less quantity than l60
acres of timber land in one body. Said
body of land shall be selected in compact
form in conformity with the rules and reg
u~lations in the sale of lands by the United
States Government.
Resolved, That the Land Register is
hereby authorized to ascertain the true
character of timber lands applied for, by
requiring the applicant to make affidavit
and produce the affidavits Of two disinter-
ested witnesses as to whether any part Of
said lands consain timber cabable of being
manufactured into lumber, and make such
other rules and regulations as will protect
the best interests of the State. Such afti-
davis may be made before the Clerk of
the District Court, or any person author
lied by law to administer oaths, having q
seal. L. N. STONE,

MINING
Pruning Down the Expenses.

For some months past the San Francisco
newspapers have been earnestly engaged in
offering suggestions for lessening the ex-
penses of working mines. The Bulletin is
glad to know that the pruning knife has
been applied in some cases, with good re-
suits to the stockholders. 1t cites the Bel
mont, in which a reformation has been in
augurated, and as there are doubtless
Belmont stockholders in this city, the fol-
lowing from the Bulletin, will prove inter-
esting reading:
Some time ago ertain large stockholders
in the Belmont became FESTIVE under the
monotony of assessments, and began cast
ing about for relief without sacrificing
their stock. The mine had produced
81 600, 900 in bullion and taken in $500, 900
in assessments from stockholders. During
the height of the producing period $780,
900 was taken out in sixty days. Nothing
was ever given in return. Investigation
showed that the money was largely ab-
sorbed in extravagant expenses, and the
work of economy was introduced. AS soon
as sufficient stock was secured to effect the
reforms desired, it was a comparatively
easy matter to cut down expenses very ma
terially, n place tie workings of the
mine on business-like principles. The sal
airy of the President was reduced from
$50 to $50, mt the Secretary from 5000
to S75. The attorney at 500 per month
was dispensed with altogether. The fee of
So to each Trustee for attendance at meet
ings was dropped. The expenses at the
mine were also reduced. There was a
Superintendent, with day foreman and
night foreman, to work eight miners, and
a Waterman to look after the Monitor-Bel-
mont mill, a half interest in which had
cost the company SIC, 900. Here is a case
Of genuine reform, that counts for some
thing in dol.ers and cents. AT the recent
annual meeting Of the company, the Sec
rotary reported about SS8, 600 received dur
ing the year, embracing $4,000 from as
sessments, including 81, 400 from the one
now in process of collection. The sale of
stock for account of this assessment is adj
vertised for July Goth. There are those
who still have faith in the Belmont mine,
though the stock has dropped to very low
figures. Some Of the stock, bought seven
years ago, stands to holders at $40 to S25
per share, exclusive of the long array Of
assessments since collected. This is prob
ably not an isolated case. So many old
time holders in once producing mines have
been made rich by their pertinacity that it
encourages others to retain their grip long
after the majority have abandoned all
hopes and their stock,
