feet wide, is now exposed.
Captain Todman, says the Gold Hill
News, has a fine iron steamer coming out
from the East for the Lake. The steamer
will be set up and in running order be-
fore the season begins.
The militia of this State is principally
composed of miners. Under such cir
cumstances what would the State do if
there was an uprising of miners against
mine owners? The trouble recently, at
Lewis District, suggests this query.
Eureka Sentinel: The Richmond fur
naces will close down on the 18th of April
for general repairs of both shelters and
machinery. How long they will remain

they start up again before the first of
May, if as soon as that.

rived here from Paradise yesterday, in

ceived here from Osceola in which the
writer says: Times are very dull here at
present, but think there will be some
very good mines on Weaver Creek, and
some say that they will pay $40 day
with a good head of water. The bar
prospect better than the creek claims.

An old Comstockcr, who came down
on the train last night, and had to within
up to week, been away from Virginia
for nearly five years, told an Appeal re-
porter that it made his heart sick to see
the dullness and hear of the restitution
that exists in that once prosperous place.
But he, like many Others whose affec-
tions are conferred upon Virginia, does
not believe that that city has seen the
last of flush times.
Dayton Times: The Indians on Walker
Lake Reservation are at work upon an
extensive irrigating ditch. Seven Of the
Piutes belonging to this reservation have
fenced in and are cultivating small
ranches. A few are doing odd jobs for
white people at the lower end of the lake,
and there is reason to hope that enough
exceptional aborigines will be located
there to form quite an industrious and
thriving community.

White Company have, for some time
past, says the Ward Reflex, been work
ing for So day and one share of stock

of time for reply.
