A WORK.
A Handsomely illustrated History
OF Nevada by Thompson a. West.

n b"nuohhcfy t1iustrhbeo History
OF Nevada by Thompson a West.
The long looked for History Of the
State OF Nevada has at last been published
md is being distributed to subscribers.
The volume contains $50 pages, suO
inches. II is printed on unusually good
paper, in large, clear type. 1t is substan-
TALLY bound in half Morocco. The back
and cover are set off with a gilt inscrip-
ton Of the title artistically designed.
Messrs. Thompson q West were discour-
aged from undertaking this entirely new
enterprise for Nevada. 1t seemed like a
labor OF Hercules for them to get up a
book which would both pay and at the
same time make a comprehensive and reada-
BILE history. But that these gentlemen have
succeeded there is no question. A glance
at their work dispels any doubt on the
subject. A very graphic feature Of their
compilation is the illustrations with which
the history abounds. 1t contains steel
sngravings and wood cuts OF many OF the
most conspicuous characters in the history
Of Nevada, men and women. 1t abounds,
also, in well-executed cuts Of buildings
that are peculiar to tho mining industry
OF Nevada, as well as Of a number Of pri-
vate residences Of prominent people, and
OF a few public edifices.
The story begins with the first reliable
information that could be had from the
''oldest inhabitant," and extends to the
present. 1t contains a general history of
the Territory and State from every point
OF view, mineral, metallurgical, agricul-
tural, legislative and social, compiled in
q readable and generally attractive man.
ner. Dan DeQuille has contributed a
racy article to the work under the head OF
The History of Journalism in Nevada,
which is done in Dams own happy style.
There are other articles contributed,
among which are 1.-THE Churches" by
Col. II. G. Shaw OF the Enterprise; "Ths
Bar OF Nevada" by Judge G. N. Harris,
and tho Public Schools OF Nevada" by
d. r. Sessions.
This history is very valuable for two
reasons; first. because it is 4 good work,
and second. because it is the only thing Of
the kind published. 1t is a good book to
have in the house; and you could find
nothing better to send to your folks
abroad, to give them an idea Of what sort
of q country you live in.

Fatal Mining Accident.

Saturday afternoon a shocking accident
occurred at the Forman shaft, Virginia
City, caused by the drill cutting into an
unexploded cartridge, by which one man
was killed and another so badly injured
that there is no hope Of his recovery.
Thomas Rowe was instantly killed, his
whole body being riddled with fragments
Of rock as by a discharge of grape and can
mister. James Rowe was lacerated in much
the same way, both his arms being SO
badly shattered that he had to have them
amputated. He lost Of his eyes, snd
from extreme loss of blood has probably
expired ere now. Both men are natives Of
was married, and leaves q wife and four
children in Virginia City.

The Argument Thai 1t is Not . Le-
ultimate Business.

The Chicago Mining News, speaking Of
men talking about the business Of mining,
just as though 1t was something that had
not occupied the attention Of men from
the remotest times, says: "This senseless
stringing out by the mining press Of long,
tedious articles under the caption, Does
Mining Pay or Is Mining a Legitimate
Industry ? should cease. The day for this
has passed away. Everybody knows that
mining pays, aud it has won its way as a
legitimate industry when properly con
Quoted, though it can be made illegitimate
and proftless by criminal or careless man
agement. More attention should be paid
to the dissemination Of mining news, let
ting the industry take care Of itself. 1t
would be thought the hight Of absurdity
to see in a commercial journal a string Of
words headed, is Commerce Legitimate 2
But the very men who scout such an idea
as this will fill a column or more with the
very self-same stuff about mining"

The famous Chateau DIFF is to be pre-
pared for the Arab prisoners taken by the
French in Tunis. This news will recall
the marvellous escape Of Edmond Dantes
in the sack which, being supposed to con-
tain a dead body, was cast into the sea.
The prelude to the more renowned adven-
lures of Monte Cristo owes its title to this
celebrated fortress, occupying the entire
site OF the islet in the Mediterranean, OPP
posite the port Of Marseilles. The name
Of the castle is derived from the " lie or
yew trees with which the rocky islet was
originally covered.

The CoIored Troops Fight NobIy
m Capture n Dfning-Room.
The manager Of the Baldwin Hotel, San
Francisco, has discharged sixty white
walters and substituted colored ones in
their stead. The Post of Dec. l says: This
morning when the change was made the
new employees. under the leadership Of
their steward, Mr.. Page, marched into the
dining-room to begin work. But they
only got as far 40 the door when they en-
countered barbados of tables and chairs,
and behind these were the discharged I'M
ployes, determined on holding the fort.
After q few minutes consultation Q grand
assault was determined upon by the new
force, who, With yells, quickly climbed
over the distractions and engaged in .
hand-to-hand conflict with their enemies.
As the besieged were greatly ou~tnumbered,
the fight wa quick and decisive, the old
employees being vanquished. After sweep
ing up the demolished tableware, broken
chairs and other relics Of the battle, the
new hands set to work, and by 6 o'clock
the hall had assumed it's usual noat and
orderly appearance. 1t was found that
the white walters had spiked their guns
by mixing the oil and vinegar In the cas-
tors, the sugar and salt, and the cayenne
n black peppers, pickles, ETC., to remedy
which another hour was needed. The po-
lice were not called in.

NEATNESs IN WOMEN.
kansas City Herald


A woman may be handsome or re-
markably attractive in many ways, but
if she is not personally neat she can not
hope to win admiration. A young wo-
man with her hair always in disorder
and her clothes hanging about her as II
suspended from prop, is always re
pulsive. "Slattern" is written on her
person from the crown of her head TO
the soles OF her feet, and if she wins a
husband he will turn ont, in all proba-
blity, either an idle fool or a drunken
fellow. The bringing mp OF daughters
to be able to work, talk and act like
honest, sensible young women, is the
special task Of all mothers, and IN the
industrial ranks there is imposed also
the prime obligation OF learning to re
spect household work for its own sake,
aud the comfort aud happiness it will
bring in the future. housework is a
drudgery, but it must be done by some
one. and it had better be well than i'll
done.
