Valley Tuesday night on professional

Where is Father Maloney ? He's
wanted in his pastoral field, and none
else can fill the bill.
We learn some of the showers In
the latter part of last week did some
damage to growing crops down the
valley. Nothing very serious, how
ever, occurred so far as we have heard.
Our Bay excursionists have all re-

She has tarried in Eureka, looking
after her business there.
A large body of water was struck in
me upraise of the Martin White tun-
mel last week and quite a stream is
now running through town, says the
Reflex.
Every afternoon the thermometer
ranges away up in the nineties. This
has been the warmest summer we
have ever experienced in Nevada.

bined are the object of the trip.

White Pine county, from all reports
that reach us, ~ so far this year pro-

portion of them.
W. ID. Drake, of the harness store,
has received from the East one of the
neatest things out in the shape of a

the pennies, would have completed
the menagerie. But w. ID. isn't that
kind of a man. The instrument is
for his own amusement.
