Building still gees on in Haw-
thorne.
Hawthorne is rapidly becoming
great freight shipping center. Freight
is now being sent from there in all
directions.
Mr.. Stanchfield, of Stanchfield 81
Co, forwarding freight agents at
Hawthorne, passed through here en-
route to San Francisco last Tuesday.
He has great faith in the developing
agency of the g. 81 C. r. Il. One
hundred miles south of Belleville
there are several good borax marsh
es and rich sulphur mines. Borax
is worth $3.50 a ton in San Francisco
and sui phur from $50 to $40. The
freightage per ton to San Francisco
has heretofore been $35, but now
via the c. Il c. it is only S25. This
gives big margin for profit, and it
is probable that large quantities of
borax and sulpur will now be ship
ped from that locality. Mr.. s. also
believes that gold and silver ore, of
which there are large quantiti es
in localities through which the C. &
C. is to pass, will, ere long, be
brought in TO the Carson river to be
worked.

The mining force N the tunnel
has been slightly decreased during
the week. Some twenty men were
discharged.
The Sutro school closed yester-
day.
The Census Marshal for this dis
trict, Eddie Hancock, reports 119
children of school age. If this be
correct, 1T is a gain of 81 since last
year, and will place the school mon
eys in good condition for the coming
year.
J. G. Fair and Jake Paul started
for St. Elmo, southern Colorado, last
Wednesday. They will engage in
mining there.
Mrs. Walker, who has been teach
ing In Mason Valley during the past
two months, came home last Wed
nesday on few days visit. She is
teaching three miles south of Green-
field in district Not. She has %
scholars and is well pleased with
her situation.

HYDROPHOBIA.

cessfully Treated in Germany.

Mrs. J. G. Gruber, wife of the no.
tel proprietor in this place, kindly
furnishes the TIMES with some i'm
portant information In regard to the
treatment of that most dreaded Of
all dread Observation-Disclosures.
1t might be we'll to add here that
Mrs. Gruber-though she never takes
any money fer her services-is her.
self a very successful physician,
having treated successfully In this
place several cases that baffied the
skill of the best medical talent In
the State. The remedy is simple

by mad dog. In case one 10 not
near a bathing establishment, take
brick or piece of iron, heat 1t real
hot, strip naked and throw . large
blanket over the shoulders, closing
in all the body except the head. Then
stand over the heated brick, or other
material, and pour alcohol upon It.
Take a thorough sweat. Several
cures have been effected In Germany
in this way, and the learned late DR..
Lutte of that country af1iuns it q
certain cure. In addition to the
bath, take homeopathic bellad. and
hyoc. pills Dissolved in water, putting
six of each kind in separate glasses.
taking a tablespoonful every two
hours, alternating the medicines.
The incident which led to the dis.
coYery of this cure is we'll worth
publishing. The old method Of
treating hydrophobia in Germany
was to smother or strangle the person
to death in feather bed. On one
occasion a patient who was ravlng
mad, was thus placed, and four heavy
men sat upon him. After time he
quieted down, and they, supposing
he,was dead, removed the covering.
To their establishment he was alive
and reeking with perspiration. He
came forth we'll man.

COMO Adjusted.
The Eureka Gold & Silver Mining
Company ON Its Feet.

In our last issue we stated that the
Eureka Gold and Silver Mining Co.
of Como was ga corporation without
name," that unfulfllled promises
had been made, and that John 10th.
rop of this town was the real owner.
Since then the matter has been ad-
justed. Satisfactory arrangements
have been made with Mr.. Lothrop,
and the Eureka Co. have been given
possession of the mine. In few days
the company will begin work and ac-
tive prospecting operations may be
looked for in the Eureka. We hail
this adjustment as harbinger of
new era for Como.

Lyon County Gains Territory.

John Gallagher of Mason Valley
Esmeralda county, has forwarded to
the Recorder of this county to be re-
corded, deed of the Birmingham
ranch, in that county. Mr.. Gallaghe r
says that the Surveyors have run the
boundary line of Lyon county into
Emeralda several miles, thus taking
in the above named ranch. Evidently
the editor surveyor is looking sharp
ly after the interest of Lyon county.

Disgraceful Action.

The Empire schools closed n
month ago tor lack of funds. The
Trustees were tricked in the matter.
Several prominent citizens promised
to subscribe for the support of the
school, provided the Trustees did
not call special tax election. After
the time for calling it had passed
and they were outside the laws pale,
these parties refused to contribute
and the school had to close.

A Narrow Escape.

Aaron Powell, prospector and
resident of Silver City, had very
narrow escape from death on Mon
day last. He had set off blast,
which, owing to the fuse being bad,
exploded while he was almost direct
ly over it. He received severe
shock, and it was some time before
he was able to make his way to
town. His. wounds, though painful,
are not considered dangerous.

town were making a raid on some
of the opium joints in Dayton. We
notice that the officials of Virginia,

will not be far behind in the work
of roofing out this evil.

H00DLUMS.
SALT LAKE CITY. May Il. 81

SALT LAKE CITY, May IA, 81.
Editors Herald:
1t seems that there are some hood
lums in the city, and that they are
making their presence unpleasantly
known. Hoodlumism is not a good
thing, nor are the hoodlums valu-
able members of society. Both
should be suppressed, if possible,
and may be it is possible. Hoodlum-
ism should be stamped out reSo-
lutely, if it can be, and it is presum-
able that it can be by prompt, deter
mined and heroic treatment, like
many other disorders.
What are the causes of hoOdlum-
ism? Overlooking animal spirits,
miSchieYOus dispositions, street ed
ucation, and such things. What en-
cOurage5 hOOdlumiSm insufficient
employment, lack of family discip-
line, parental Partially, and such
things. What will check hoodlum-
ism? More employment, stricter
home discipline, better training, less
parental weakness. Fines may re-
duce it somewhat. But fines act
unequally and not very satisfac-
tOrily. Relatives generally pay the
fines of young offenders, which
is hardly fair. 1t might be well
to abolish the fine punish
ment for hoodlumism, unless the
fine could be levied so that the
guilty would have to pay it. Be
sides, fines favor the rich and
the poor. Imprisonment IS
the best punishment for hOodlumS. |
Not putting a wilful youth into a
common prison with a horde of all |
sorts of criminals, not by any means.
That would tend to make a criminal |

hOOdlum be put into solitary con-
inement for a few days, on plain /
God and water for diet, with no

IF such solitary confinement would
prove a capital cooler Of the hot
blood of the street hOCdlum, and
would have the advantage Of caus-
ng the punishment to rest on the
eally guilty party, instead of upon

loodlum a few days solitary con-
nement, with coarse and unStimu-
lting rations, and do it without
ear or favor, and that will be the

THE Creation"

The suggestion in regard to the
reproduction of "The Creation" has
been adopted, except insofar as
giving it in the Methodist Church
was concerned. 1t is to be given in
the Theatre, as it was when first
presented, and the chances for a
much larger house are very good.
Already enough tickets have been
disposed of to pay the rent on the
Theatre, and if public encourage
ment is as liberal as the general ex-
pressed sentiment would lead one to
believe, there should be very large
attendance on Wednesday evening
next. 1.-THE Creation is a master
piece and is well presented by the
Philharmonic.

THE SCRIP TAX CASE.

The scrip tax case was finished on
Saturday, without any testimony
having been taken. 1t will be re-
membered that on Friday an objec-
ton was made by the plaintiff to
the introduction of the return of
4. c. NJ. /. to the collector, and this
was argued and submitted. On
Saturday morning Judge Hunter
sustained the objection, holding that
the orders did not come under those
contemplated in the act of Feb. 1873.
To this ruling an exception was
taken by the defense, who then
offered to show that the orders were
drawn by one of the plaintiffs
officers and were in circulation. To
this the plaintiff objected and the
objection was sustained, the defend
ant excepting. The defense then
offered to show that the orders were
used for circulation and paid out as
money. An objection again inter
posed was again sustained, and an
other exception noted. To the offer |
to prove that the orders were cir

ed to bring in q verdict for $3.50
With interest, and for $1,000 with

ion by the defendant, and a verdict

hat the scrip tax money will ulti- l
lately be refunded.

The Consolidation.

Immediately after the return of
Hon. John Sharp from the east,
some time ago, whittier he had been
on railroad business, it was stated
that the idea of consolidating the
Utah Central, Utah Southern and
Utah Southern Extension Railroads
was IN contemplation and would
probably be accomplished in time.
Since then the matter has been
thoroughly canvaSsed and there now
remains no objection to the conSoli-
datiOn here. 1t was necessary, before
the amalgamation could be effected,
that the consent Of every stock
holder be obtained first. All who
are here have given assent, and it
only remains to be learned how the
stockholders in New York feel
about the change. There is little
doubt they will consent, and it will
then De but a short time before the
roads are all running under one
name and one management.
