The Festive Season I'm the Rrigid
North.

FoRT McDERMIT, Jan. 18th, 1880.
EDITOR SILVER STATE-If YOU have
not been to Paris, Frenchman will de-
clare that you haveseen nothing. A SINH
lar idea, in a modified form, obtains
with you folks. Outside Of Winncmuc-
ca, especially up north here in the
sagebrush, you imma ,ine there is
neither pleasure, entertainment or any
thing else worth living for. How
very much mistaken you are. We
have our sociables, balls and parties in
full measure. Since the advent of the
festive season, we have had many part
les, but one given by Mr.. McLaren, at
Bachelor Hall, as he loosely styles his
handsome and comfortable home, was,
to say the least, the best OF all; in
word it was a success. At 3 P. NJ.
guests began pouring IN from all direc-
tons, far and near, and at 4 COM
bundance of all immaginable good
things spread on a table, which must,
though maudably, lanented it's load;
chickens appeared and disappeared
as if by magic, each one seeming to
think it good enough for him or herself
turkey in some request, while duck,
goose and other game of the wilds
around received polite attention.
Shortly after feasting in truly epicure-
an style, music and dancing began. A
happier or merrier party cannot be I'M
imagined. Singing and other amuse-
ment interspersed the entertainment.
Colonel Hardin, we'll and favorably
known everywhere, dnnoed once = the
first in his life | hear-but his accom-
plished partner, in her most graceful man.
ner guided him handsomely through the
may set. At 4:40 A. m.-not day-as
merry, agreeable aud enjoyable a party
a. possibly could associate together,
prepared to bid good bye to their host,
Mr.. McLaren, with many wishes for
the present, and as many more for
the new year.
The names of those present, too
numerous to mention, at all events,
would scarcely interest, while the
friendships formed, warm and genial
feelings engendered through such social
gatherings deserve record and encour
agement. With happy new year to
the SILVER STATE, am your, I.

Angus Morrison and j. l.. O'Donnel
have purchased q three fourth interest
in the Rye Patch mill and all the tail
ings which have accumulated at .ae
mill since it was built. They are now
repairing the mill, and will put it in

working the tailings and any ores that

We hope the enterprise may be success

The Chic Wine.

Frank Snapp informs us that work
was suspended on the Ohio mine, at
Rebel Creek. about a month ago in con
sequence of the drifting snow which
filled the cut almost every night. Last
week work was again resumed on the
mine, and five men are now employed
drifting and taking out ore. The ledge
looks well and the owners will shortly
ship another carload of ore to Salt Lake
or San Francisco.

Allow a cold to advance in your system

such as pneumonia, ,hemorrhage and
lung troubles, when an immediate re-
lief can be so readily attained. Bos-
CHEFS GERMAN SYRUP has gained the
largest sale in the world for the cure of
coughs, colds and the seyerest lung di-
seases. It is DR.. Boschee's famous
German prescription, and is prepared
with the greatest care, and no fear need
be entertained in administering it to
the youngest child, as per directions.
The sale of this medicine is unprece-
den,ed. Since first introduced there
has been a constant increasing demand,
and without single report Of failure
to do its work in any case. Ask your

marks. Large size rs cents. Try and

An Adventures Exposed.

Fair Isabelle had enough mystery
about her to charm ladies Of high station,
and consequently to get their sympathy.
All that was known about her was that
she lived in an elegant apartment in the
five months ago, accompanied by a young
man who was her lover. She called her.
self Spaniard, and relation of Don
Carlos. The report was spread by her
lover among certain members Sof the
s.ristocratic world, who, touched by the
misfortunes of the lady, fastened to put
at her disposal large sums of money
which she was to pay back at the liqui-
dalton of certain properties which she
pretended to have in Spain. Among
those who took an interest in her was
priest whose brother occupies brilliant
position in the army. The priest appears
to have passed great deal of his time in
