e Discovery.

The Tuscarora Times-Review publishes
the following interesting mining news
A. J.. Van Auken and VIM Black have
struck a prospect over in the vicinity OF
Mccain Greek, which they think bids fair
to result in a big thing. They say the
ledge is wide and well defined, and at
the depth of six feet they have taken out
rock which will assay 5000 per ton, while
the entire ledge at that depth is composed
of good milling ore. If this prospect
should turn out as the owners anticipate
there will be a rush Of prospectors to that
locality, which has heretofore been more
neglected than any portion Of the district.

Material for a Lecture.

Dan O'Connell, the poet and lecturer Of
the Stock Exchange, thus discourses upon
the delights of bathing at Alameda:
Teaching young ladies how to swim is
one OF the most delightful pastimes OF the
age. Holding up their pretty chins, show
ing them how the kicking is done, ducking
them gently for the fun Of clawing them
out with a chance grip. tends to make
swimming an intellectual and highly en-
joyable amusement"
About two years ago Mr.. O'Connell lee
tured in Nevada ON "Half-hours with the
Irish Poets" to a slim audience. II he
could be induced to come up here again,
says the Carson Appeal, and discourse on
:" Half-hours with the Alameda Bathers :"
he could count on o full house.

Our Reasons.

In fact, we sell all goods at San Francisco
prices, and NO HUMBUG. For the benefit of
those who want to know how we sell Goods so
cheap, we will explain Our buyers are al
ways ia the market, and are thoroughly con.
versant with the Dry Goods business. being
brought up to 1t from childhood, and therefore
know the texture of any piece of Goods. and
market all the time know when they see a
piece of new goods, and no old stocs that has
been in the store for years can be psimed of
on them as being of the latest pattern. And
as we buy our goods for cash we get q certain
percentage which those who do not cannot OBJ
tain. These are some of the reasons why we
sell so cheap. Another reason Is we sell for
cash, thereby lessening our expenses. II W.
had TO keep . set of books We would reed
more help. And again, we do not believe in
the theory of charging good customers with
the debts of others to make good their losses.

The San Francisco Post says that in
connection with the Comstock market
there is a m that 81. G. Flood has

AMONG THE cow BOYS.


A correspondent of the Sacramento Bee.
who returned from a visit down the line Of
the Southern Pacific Railroad, gives the
following as a portion Of what he saw and
heard on the trip:
In Deming there is little respect paid to
the laws Of God or man, as this place Is the
HEADQUARTERS OF THE COW BOYS,
And in the town is located the saloon and
dance house of the notorious chief Of the
~gang-Boone, by name. The town has a
population of about 500, a large percentage
Of whom are of the lawless element, which
keeps the respectable portion OF the COM
munity in dread and subjugation. Shoot
ing scrapes are Of daily occurrence, and the
"~petulant pop" of the pistol constantly
disturbes the quiet Of night. Every one
goes armed. The favorite costume of the
COW boys is a pair of overalls, gray or blue
shirt, top boots, wide sombrero, belt filled
with cartridges, two revolvers and a bowie
knife. and in this attitude they strut about
the streets, terrorizing the peaceful inhab-
itants.
Incidents are recited by him Of their do
ings, of which the following are fair sam
pies:
AIDE TO DANCE.
A railroad official who had business in
the place went into Deming, and was en-
countered by a gang of the cow boys near
Boone's saloon. He was well dressed, and
this made him an object of especial attrac-
ton. One OF their number stepped up to
him, called him into the saloon, drew a re-
volver on him and told him to dance. This
he said he could not do, and appealed to
the boys to let him go. In vain, however.
He was told that he must dance or take the
consequences, and q dozen cooked revolvers
pointed at him showed him too plainly
what they would be. He jumped and
jumped on the floor till exhausted, when he
was allowed to rest on condition that he
would treat the entire crowd. This he did
and was then compelled to give each one
OF the party four bits. Again he was COM
PEELED to dance, to treat and give up more
coin, and then he was allowed to depart.
Another incident is recited, to the effect
that a half-drunken COW boy went swag-
ging about the street. Every one whom
he met he stopped, drew his pistol, cooked
1t, and commanded the inoffensive person
to bite the muzzle Of the barrel. This was
done by some half q dozen, and in each
case the COW boy replied, YOUR a brave
man, and can go about your business"
But this fellow came to an untimely end,
for the next morning he was found lying
in the center Of the street with a bullet
through his hear~t-doubtless sent there by
one of. his victims.

The Growth of the Organization
Duly Celebrated.

sht SFOWih OF the organization
Duly Celebrated.
The Damphool Infrmary had a jolliica-
ton last night. 1t had during the day in
itiated a number Of new members. and
celebrated the increase Of the Order by H.
Illuminating Main street with a hundred
candles, which were stuck in the roadside
from Gold to Clark street. In front Of
Mendes' saloon a large bonfire blazed, and
near by was a crowd OF "naturals " fully
imbued with the spirit Of the occasion.
Seated in the center OF the assemblage was
the President Of the Infirmary. Before
him on a box stood the illuminated SYM
bolical fgure-head OF the 0rder-a hat
box representing the grinning features Of
a member who had received Is degrees.
Every now and then the President would
arise to make a few remarks" but the
fatigue incident to a hard days labor left
him without eloquence or strength. The
Vice President was similarly demon
allied, and refused to take the chair
while the President exhibited symp-
toms OF life and wakefulness. Once
the President summoned all his en-
ergy after repeated calls for a speech,
and addressed the crowd, r%emarking :
4" Fellow Damphools: l regre. my inability
tonight to initiate all OF you. Nature
has, however, given many Of you more
degrees than this Order has the. power OF
comforting. Therefore 1t would be a waste
Of valuable time and labor to pick out
those who could strengthen our organiza-
ton. 'Naturals' are beyond our reach.
We only want the utilization Of those who
may be saved. There are Few among you
who can. Hence, l must decline to accept
n candidates from this meeting" One
man Immediately stepped forward, and
claimed TO be among the exceptions. He
wanted 10 degrees, but was denied them,
on the ground that he was the biggist
damphool in the crowd. The meeting
was still in session at midnight.

Cornish wrestling Matches.

The Grass Valley Union has the follow
ing: 1t lie the intention to hold the an
nual Cornish wrestling matches in this
place, commencing on July 4. The prizes
have not yet been agreed upon. but they
are expected to be the same in number and
amount as last year. There are q number
Of good wrestlers here, and it lie expected
that the prizes will be sufficient to induce
some Of the noted wrestlers to come from
a distance.

Costix stray Isall.

The SENTINEL devil, like all boys, loves
to play baseball, but he hasn't got the
science down to a fine point yet. On
Thursday evening the young man was
throwing the sphere for another party to
catch, but his aim was inaccurate, and the
ball crashed through n of the large
panes of the Jackson House. With an
honesty worthy of emulation by older
. boys," Jimmy marched up to the pro-
prietor and asked him to name the DAM
age, and paid it over like a little man
though it took all his picnic treasure with
which he expected to have such a good
time to-day on the excursion.

Material Question.

in the Lake vs.. Lake divorce suit for a di-
vision of the property came on before tit

whether it is to be deemed the common
property of himself and wife when the di-
vorce was granted. This case bids fair T.
