The Senator's Dog.

The other day Hackct, Jack, Sena-
tor Walker and few others were
sitting in jim Shaw's Office recalling
old times and incidents. Stories had
been told of oats fifteen feet high,
with half peck on each head, and
of ricks of hay mile long, standing
in forty acre fields. Grain and hay
suggested mammoth cattle; cattle
soon gave way to sheep carrying
enormous crops of wool, and from
sheep the conversation easily fell
upon sheep dogs and dogs in general,
their habits, happenings and peculi-
arities. This was the Senator'S op
portunity. At the end of a short
interval Of veracious silence. he be-
gan: "rhem black an tans know

they were watching for the dog to

heard an awful yelping and bowling
little before shutdown, regular for
two or three days, and one of them
looked over to see what the matter
was, wheb he saw the little dog jump
around, take chaw at a joint, yelp
while, and then take another chaw
until he got it off. He thought this
was good fun, and told the others,
and they would go over in the eve-
ming about the time he got so hungry
he couldn't stand it any longer, and
watch him. 1t was getting better

getting shorter, and it was harder

When a board of eminent physi-

discovery that by combining some
well known valuable remedies tie
most wonderful medicine was pro-
duced, which would cure such wide
range of diseases that most all other
remedies could be dispensed with,
many were skeptical; but proof OF
ITS merits by actual trial has dispell-

Gone to fertilize the land;

over the curve approaching the acid

reached it was impossible to stop
before the end of the car ran into

Gold ON the Colorado River.

For a long time it has been sup
posed and reported that gold in pay
ing quantities would sooner or later
be found along the banks of this
strange and mighty river. Such now
seems to be the case. A small party
OF explorers returned to this city
yesterday bringing evidences of that
fact, and are now looking up machin-
ery to make a test. 1t seems that
the gold is flaky and fine, but tests
with a pan show big results, and the
deposits very extensive. This will
make one of the finest Winter camps
on tie Pacific Slope, and help to
open up the extreme end of this vast
territory. Another district has been
established forty miles southeast
from Stones ferry, where extensive
and rich gold quartz lodges have
been found.

Mormon Migration.

A secret agent of the administra-
ton was recently sent to Utah to
ascertain the intentions of the Nor
mons toward the government. He
reports that the Mormons have a
comprehensive and deep-laid scheme
which they are carrying out with as
much accuracy and zeal as ever dis
tinguished Jesuitlsm, to establish an
empire or theoracy of their own IN
the west. independent of the United
States. They have ceased to concen-
trate their forces in Utah, but are
spreading oyer the Territories from
Wyoming to New Mexico. and the
time is not far distant when an army
of 100000 men will be necessary to
enforce the laws of the United States.
The agent says they have made
themselves independent of the out
side world for the necessaries of life
They raise their own crops. They
have factories, and in case of wal
against the Union they could not be
starved out. A Mormon war would
be general Indian war. They are
untiring in their efforts to poison the
minds of the Indians against the
general government. - Las Vegas
