Hymeneal.

On Thursday evening Prof. Mills
Van Wagenen and Miss Ella Jones,
both of Silver City, were united in
marriage by Rev. w. c. Gray. The
Professor has for some years been
principal of the Silver City school,
where he has been sutocrat of the
manners and customs of that por-
ton of the rising generation under
his charge. He has doubtless, in
teaching obedience, learned to obey,
and will be able to submit graceful
ly to conjugal authority. Miss Jones
was the first white child that ever
lived in Virginia. She was born at
Genoa ON what is known as Jobe's
ranch, aud WAS taken to what is
now Virginia by her parents 10 the
days Of placer mining, before there
was any town, aud before the great
lode was discovered. Mrs. Van Wag-
men is one of the favorits of Silver
City, and many and fervent are the
good wishes attending the nuptials.

E. T. Stetson's Dramatic Company
has been at Piper's every night
this week, beginning with Wednes-
day evening. The company Is an
unusually large one, making up In
numbers what Is wanted in taleut.
Stetson himself, is an ordinary actor,
who would show to a much better
advantage with better support. "Neck
and Neck" fell fat on the people
Wednesday night. "Kentuck,"
the best play In the re-
pertoire, will be given at the matt
nee this afternoon. In addition the
celebrated ventfiloquist, Chalet, will
give twenty minute performance,
He is understood to be the best
ventriloquist that ever appeared on
the Comstock.

The PronOuncing Match,

The pronouncing match on Tues
day evening was an entertaining aud
successful affair. A fair audience
was in attendance, and all present
enjoyed themselves. The evening
was commenced with a song from
Miss Dolly Randall, after which
Miss Ida Rothschild recited "Cur-
few shall not ring to night" After
the recitation sides were chosen and
the match began. A beautifully
bound volume Of Pope's works was
the prize offered, and about twenty
contestants entered an appearance.
At the previous match the older
people formed the majority of those
contending for the supremacy, but
their disastrous experience deferred
most of them this time, and the
young people had it nearly all to
themselves. A few of the elders

legal luminary sat down under the
effects OF "bronchitis," remarking at
the time that he had been afflicted
all his life, and never before knew
what was the matter with him.
The number of struggling orthoe-
pists was gradually reduced until
only two remained. These two,
Artie Harris and Miss Ida Roths-
childs, stood long time pronounc-
ing alternately the words written Oh
the black board by Prof. Bray,
They soon ran through the publish
ed list, and held the fort we'll against
the onslaught Of those words which
had not been given out beforehand.
However "zouave" at last struck
down the guard OF young Harris,
and Miss Rothschild was awarded
the prize. The entertainment closed
with a song from Miss Hettie Guild,
which WAS warmly encored.

A Curious Find.

Last week diggings were discover
ed In a curious locality near Mill
Station. A rancher living in that
vicinity killed chicken for dinner,
and discovered in its craw nugget
of gold worth about GIT. The mis-
guided chicken had doubtless picked
it up under the impression that it
was an exaggerated grain Of corn.
The rancher now contemplates rails
ing large number of fowls, and
teaching them to prospect, but has
not yet decided how he will manage
to reap the benefit of their research
es in the sand, without killing the
birds.

The studio,

Miss Lou Atkinson has opened q
studio n room No. 10, Odd Fellows
building, Virginia. She has com
pleted, lately, several views Of Lake
Tahoe and surrounding scenery,
which strike those familiar with the
place as being almost like unto Ma
ture herself. The paintings repre-
senting scenes on Emerald Bay, Com
elan Bay and the Three Brothers are
particularly fine. Miss Atkinson
has made more than fair start in
her art, and will doubtless climb
high upon the ladder. In addition
to the sale of her paintings, the young
lady has arranged to devote some
time TO instruction, and is now pre-
pared to take few pupils. Appli-
cation can be made at the studio.

A Fair Salary.

During the progress of the school
Tax Election cltizen-probably one
of the lonesome three-made loud
and bitter lamentations about what
he considered the extravagant sala-
ries paid to teachers. In voice
in which could be heard q wall OF
regret for the good times which are
gone, he said: why, when I went
to school the teacher only got $18 a

The New Wood Fisher,

r. D. Cameron,the wood contractor,
who is bringing down the present
drive, has invented machine for
taking wood out of the water which
will save money and wet feet. 1t is
something like the straw carrier of
threshing machine, and is worked
by the ordinary ground horse power.
The carrier is made of two endless
chains about 81 fee. apart, connect
ed by iron bars at intervals of foot.
These bars are armed with sharp
spikes which catch the wood, and
drag it to the top, where ii is dump
ed into car. One end OF the frame
upon which the carrying chains run,
is lowered into the water, while the
other is supported on the shore by a
gallows frame. The carrying frame
is about 20 feet long, and the gal
lows frame which supports it about
10 feet high. The wood floating In
the water is drawn to the chain by a
long pole with a picaroon hook on
the end, and as soon rs it touches the
moving spikes is drawn up until
thrown over upon slide, from which
it falls into carts or wagons.
The hosting machinery is erected
on this side of the river, a short dis
lance above the r. r. bridge, where
the greater portion of the drive now
here is to be taken out. They he
gan work on Wednesday, and after
the horses became accustomed to
their work, the operation was very
satisfactory to the inventor.

Como.

Como would without a doubt be
experiencing Wood River or Tomb
stone boom if it was only situated
about 100 miles away from the Com
stock where water had to be~packed
ia, and where Indians were danger
Gus. As it is, the Comstock in its
mightiness overshadows il, and it
takes such short time to to accom-.
pish the distance between the two
places, that stories of rich finds do
not have time or opportunity to be-
come sufficiently magnified.
Should such rock as is being found
in Como be exhibited In Virginia
and reported as coming from some
wild, unapproschable region, the ex-
element created would be almost a
Juror, aud there would be packing
of valses and strappIng of blank
cts preparatory to stampede. Over
Swallowed as it is by Its too near
and greater neighbor, it is difficult
to attract the attention Of capitalists,
but the time is not far off when ex-
ploiters will turn their attention in
that direction. Difficult as it has
been to secure moneyd attention the
object has at last been accomplished
IN a measure, and San Francisco
capital will doubtless soon be at
work in one OF the most promising
mines of the district. After the first
success has been made capital will
flow in freely, only anxious for
chance to invest.

Como Items.

The Mohawk incline is now down
lis feet.
The rock is constantly improving
as they sink.
The flow of water has increased
and the company intend putting up
an engine as the within is not now
capable OF handling the water and
hosting rock. On account of the
water it was necessary to- drift on
the ledge to furnish ore to the mill
This ore is not so good as that in the
bottom of the winze. The drift did
not supply quite enough ore to keep
the mill at work, and some ore from
the North Rapidian is now being
worked.
The snow is nearly all gone, and
there is plenty of feed in the hills.
The roads are in excellent condi.
ton and visitors are taking adyant.

The Brokers' Exchange.

Dan Donovan has gone into part
nership with Major Jim Cummings
in the Brokers Exchange saloon, No.
AZ South G street, Virginia. Dan is
as we'll known and as popular as the
Major, and if any person from the
country wants to see just how first
class saloon should be run, all they
have to do is to drop in. Their
stock of comforters cannot be i'm
proved upon as will be discovered
by trial.

They Will Come Back.

The boys who went away to Ari-
IONA, Wood River aud other outside
camps, under the impression that
the Comstock was either dead or
dying, are even now beginning to
come back. Most of them have by
this time discovered that they were
deceived by untruthful accounts
written by foolish or boas:ful friends.

The Special Election.

The special school tax election on
Tuesday did not excite much inter
est, as the opposition was too slight
to be taken into account. Many
did not vote, knowing that theil
votes were not needed. Only sew
enty two ballots were cast, and ou'
of this number three lonesome anti
education citizens voted in opposi
ton to the tax.

The Como Electien.

The special election in Como was
carried unanimously in favor of the

one dissenting vote, which speaks

gressive spirit of the miners in that
promising camp.

The County Superintendent Of
Public Schools has forwarded, his
resignation, which will be acted on
at the next meeting of the Board of
County commissioners. 1t 10 sug-
gested that County officer should
reside at the County seat, and that
whoever is appointed to fill the va
cancy, should make or have his resi-
dence here. For four years the
County Superintendent lived at Sill
yer City, and trustees from outside
districts coming in on school bust
ness, were compelled to run over
the county in search of him. This
is not meant as reflection upon the
then Superintendent, as there is
nothing in the Office, at least, not
enough to justify undivided attention
to it, and it was only right that he
should attend to his private affairs
wherever they might take him; new
ertheless, it was great inconven-
fence, and a recurrence may be pre-
vented by having the Superintend-
ent at the county seat, where those
having business connected with his
Office would naturally come to find

BRIEF MENTION.


The Mohawk mine will begin
working three shifts on Monday.
The season at Lake Tahoe is as far
advanced now as it was in June last
year.
Sixty-nine to three on the school
tax question is reasonably good
showing.
The mail came through from Bodie
on the C. & G. for the first time on
Wednesday.
On Sunday Lew stoner took to
Hawthorne a Car. load of fixtures for
the hotel of Gfdber s. Co.
The telegraph wires On the line of
the C. g. G. r. 4. were stretched
through Dayton on Tuesday.
c. H. Rulison drew "a, 500 from
the Mint on Wednesday morning
for bullion from the Atlanta mill.
The Cinnamon have a large gar
den near the railroad which they ir-
rigate by packing the water from
the river.
The trains bound for Hawthorne
are pretty well loaded with feed for
animals, and furniture Tor lodging
houses.
The first carload of ore shipped
over the c. & C. X. II. arrived in
Dayton last Sunday, consigned to
the Lyon Mill s. Mining Company.
The telegraph wires are in posi-
ton about 10 miles down the river.
There are II men in the construction
force and work is being pushed rap
idly.
Mrs. Walker, who has been teach
ing in the Sutro school, resigned
this week. Hereafter principal
Bnoher will take the whole school
under Ms charge.
Dayton is getting accustomed to
the new X. X. Not more than half
the town now go down to see the
tram come, and these are princi
paly from the suburbs.
About 500 cords of the wood
drive have arrived. There will be
1000 more let down as soon as the
work OF taking out at the Eureka
mil is flashed.
Silver City is about on its last
legs. The last stamp has ceased its
Eoise, and there are, very few stamps
of any kind there now. II is nearly
US dull as Gold Hill.
Capt. A. w. Pray, of Lake Tahoe,
has moved his cattle from the ranch
at the Big Bend Of the Carson t" his
home ranch at the lake. The band
passed through Dayton on Sunday.
The Pony was down from Como
on Wednesday last. This is his first
descent since the election, and he
viewed the improvements in and
around Dayton with an approving
eye.
The supply of ice will be limited
next Summer. Owing to the mild
winter not nearly so much was laid
in us formerly, and dealers are pre-
pairing to charge accordingly.
Butcher-knife Johnny told the
boys that he once saw at Walker
Lake, an ear of corn which was 10
inches in length. His story was
doubted until he explained that it
was brought from Iowa.
All the arrastras in Gold Canon
have been obliged to quit work on
account Of lack of water. The bat
teries of the Nip & Tuck mill in
Silver City have also been stopped,
the pans only being kept going.
The Pony when asked how the
Welter mill was paying, said: 81
came in 40 and don't care to ask
questions, but the whistle blows
every morning, and the men around
the works all appear to be in good
humor."
The "Pony" has not had an OPP
portunity to become conversant
with railroad matters, although he
once saw broad guage road. When
he looked at the C. & C. he was ia.
vorably impressed, but wanted TO
know how long 1t would take it to
grow to its full size.
