When the Carson 4 Colorado Railroad
Company treated for the right Of way
through the Walker Lake Indian neser-
vation, one prcviso was to the effect that
the Indians should forever have the right
TO ship by the railroad, free OF charge.
al the fish or other produce they might
wish to market. The Appeal says the
lake Is swarming with fine trout. but
Indians did not find the trade very profit
tble when the item Of transportation
began to be figured on. The catch was
therefore limited by the slim facilities for
nndin8 q market before the fish spoiled.
when the new road reaches Walker Lake
the Indians will be the bosses Of the fish
trade. and Dayton will be the fish mart OF
the State. The Indians say that II Mr..
lexington had known how many fish they
could catch in q day he would never have
entered into such a compact. The Indians
lad laid their wires for this thing long
aso, and when Mr.. Yerington visited
Walker Lske they put up a lob on him.
lney invited him to spend q day fishing,
wnich ne lie, and they gave him bait
anien nsh absolutely avoid. Several Of
'he DUCKS also fshed with him. some using
no bait, The result Of the days toll was a
small white fish and a couple Of half-pound
Nout. The savages pretended that the
port mad been very ine, and got up q big
aance In honor Of the big catch, remark
ing that the fishing had never been so good
.or years. In an unguarded moment he
.isnea MS nsh contract, and now they say

Work Commenced.

Ground was broken on the Boston and
Eureka Mining Company's claim, located
900 feet north OF the Williamsburg mine,
on what is termed as Adams Hill. yester-
day, under the supervision of Nath. Dia-
mond, who recently placed the property at
the Hub. This mine was taken up by Mr..
Diamond eight years ago, and shows some
OF the finest groupings In the district.
The company intend TO push work vigor-
ously and sink one Of the finest double
compartment shafts on the Range. In our
advertising columns bids are adver-
tised to sink the first fifty feet, and it is
thought that the property can be placed
on a paying basis at q depth Of $50 feet.
Should expectations be realized and q suf-
icient amount Of ore be uncovered on that
or adjacent levels, the company will i'm
mediately build its own furnaces, and add
to the bullion output Of the camp. The
Williamsburg mine, adjacent TO this new
claim. is said to be taking out some very
handsome rock, which is continually i'm
proving In quantity and richness. From
these indications 1t Is claimed that Adams
Hill will, at nc distant day, become a
rival Of its interesting and more promi-
nent neighbor further up the mountain.

Rich

A letter from Pitkin. Colorado, says that
great excitement prevails there over the
discovery Of c~arbonates, and the whole
Park, clear down from the Silver Islet
mine is being staked off by an eager and
lazy mob Of men. A body of gray sand
carbonates, four and a half feet thick, has
been found in the main shaft Of the Silver
Islet, at a depth Of fifty feet. Assays give
1872 ounces Of silver, 1853 ounces and 264,
and about 40 per cent. Of lead. In the
Garfield lode, situated in the Park. car
donates running as high as 40 ounces of
silver and go per cent. of lead were dis
covered at q depth Of sixty feet. The
Chicago lode Ia proving one of the best in
the district. The shaft is sixty feet deep,
and an adit-tunnel has been driven in on
the vein eighty-fve feet. Further down
the hill a tunnel has been started that will
cut the vein 800 feet deeper than the above
named workings. i.

school Boys Amic,ed BY STOCKS.

"Guess l won't take in the school to-
day" said a Carson urchin with a Sunday
Appeal in his hand. "Why not?'' asked
an old man at his side would you de-
cline to pluck the fruit from the tree Of
knowledge when it lies within such easy
reach2 2" "Concordia has fallen off ten
cents, and | don't dare to show up until it
picks up again" what have the fiuctua-
ions OF the Comstock to do with your
studies ?" "a good DEAL" answered the
boy "my teacher has q hundred shares
Of the stock, and when il falls off q few
cents we catch it heavy. l keep my eye on
the list, and when there's a break you bet
/ don't go to school. / play sick. Goliy |
how she basted me when Mount Diablo
busted down to two dollars. When it was
selling at twenty she was as good as pie.
! was the first Teller that got on TO the
break, and l told the boys Of my class that
if she didn't sell there d be the devil to
pay. / heard Uncle Fraser say il was a
good short, and / never slept a wink for a
week. / grabbed the Appeal the first
thing In the morning, and when l saw her
kneel down to sixteen / skipped to the
hills. Lord, how she did bang Johnny
Dobson round that morning. l was in
hopes that the blasted mine would pick up,
but the water got in the lower levels, and
I knew we we're in for it. She licked
somebody for every dollar it dropped.
After II reached eight dollars it picked up
a little, and we had time to get well. Ny
mother s been patchin' my pants now ever
since the big break in Sierra Nevada, and
IL the market don't take a turn pretty soon
I'm going to quit the public school and go
TO work on o ranch"

Few suggestions.

1t is suggested, says the Tombstone Epi-
messengers or guards who accompany
treasure boxes. The advantages Of this
course, it seems to us, would be manifest.
The only advantages Of having a messen-
ger on coach carrying treasure Is Of course
to make q fight in case the coach Is
stopped, else there might as well be no
messenger at all. In case Of a fight not
only the messengers life is in jeopardy,
but the lives of the passengers as well, as
witness the late murder near Contention.
A messenger on horseback is in no more
danger of being killed than one on the box
seat. He would have more freedom OF
action, and by preceding the stage a short
distance would be more likely to discover
danger ahead. As this system is general
in European countries, it must have been
considered by Wells, Fargo & Co., as that
company could by no possibility be ignorant
of it. The additional expense is a consid-
cradle item, it is true, but we do not be-
lieve that a consideration with q company
managed with so much ability. We are
therefore anxious to learn what reasons
have induced Wells, Fargo d Co. to con-
tinue their present system. .
While upon the subje,t it is well to call
attention to the statements which are cur
rent to the effect that a number OF people
in this city are aware Of many circum-
stances which would be Of great aid to the
officers in ferreting out the perpetrators OF
the recent crime. These parties are alleged
to be afraid to divulge what they know lest
vengeance be taken on them by
friends Of the criminals. 1t is almost m
possible that there can be any real danger
to a community like this, and there are &C
many ways Of communicating with thu
officers of the law in secret, that there Ii
really NO valid excuse for the suppression
of facts. The man who willingly keeps
back any information which will lead te
the arrest and conviction of the criminals
in no matter how small degree, is also
criminal, and is directly responsible fol
any further crimes which may be commit
ted in the future by the men who killed
"Budd" Philpot.

The Boon, Coming.

The Arizona Citizen says: The first
through train over the new route is an In
dex of the activity of travel toward Ari-
zona that is to follow the opening of rail
communication by the southern route. Be-
ginning with the arrival Of the first train
on Sunday evening, a stream of strangers
will pour into Tucson greater than it has
facilities to accommodate. A delegation
of our people ought to greet the first
through train in a fitting manner upon its
arrival here, and as many distinguished
and representative people will likely be
among its passengers, they should be made
to feel that they have not been stranded
upon inhospitable shores. Our city is
not a very inviting place. at its best, and
the contrast with the cities Of the East
will be unpleasantly great to the guests.
In such an event a little genuine frontier
hospitality will serve a good purpose, both
on behalf Of our people and the claims to
public attention by reason Of our Terri
torial esource and to the comfort Of the
strangers beneath our roof.

From our evening contemporary we
learn that n Of its intimate friends -"
offered to "set EN- up" for the ladies of
the opera company, but that the PROPOSE
ton Of the generous gentleman was
graciously declined. The fact is dwelt
upon that the fellow had only $500, which
is not altogether surprising. Indeed, We
wonder that he was in possession Of even
so large a sum and on terms of relation
ship with q newspaper man or men. Per-
haps, II our esteemed Contemporary may
be believed. the gentleman has o found
out the difference between legitimate aud
Legitimate opera. We hope our contem-
porary will drop such friendships in the
future, or not expose its associations.

The Bewitched Drill.

At one time in this camp, says the Ward
Reflex, the miners got into the habit OF
tamping giant powder cartridges with a
long drill instead Of tamping bar. A
small portion of giant would stick to the
head of the drill. At the first blow Of the
hammer it would pop like a pistol, though
doing no other damage, but we'll calcu-
lated to discomfort the boys, put them to
thinking and cause them to proceed eau
tiously. That there we're gnomes tamper'
ing with that drill there were but little
room for doubt. 1t was always the first
blow that caused the disturbance; after
that it was all right. This put them to
thinking. and 1t was not long before II was
discovered that the giant adhering to the
head of the drill, exploding by concus-
sion, was the cause OF ell their troubles.
1t is safe to say that drills have not since
been used as tamping bars.

an indignation meeting" An Irishman
arose and asked, "Phat's that2" He
was Immediately fined 81 for contempt, to
be paid to the company in fish.
The following preamble and resolutions
were then unanimously adopted
WHEREAS, The propagation and Guilt
Walton of fish has become of such impor-
lance as to demand both State and Ma
tional recognition and encouragement /;

than diminished and whereas, persons
have'presumed to act without authority Of
the Board of Directors in a manner detri-
mental to the preservation and increase of
the present supply therefore
Resolved, That a committee Of ivebe ap-
pointed by this meeting to fulfill the du-
ties of Fish Commissioner, and that Il.

and alarm the first management of this in
stitution, and recommend that proceedings
be commenced against the managers in the

No Church nj Bodie.

G. W. Pease, an old Gold Hitler, who
has been at Bodie the last year or two, is
now on a short visit to his friends in Gold
Hill. Pease likes Bodie we'll enough, but
mentions as a reproachful circumstance
that. although the town contains over
1900 inhabitants. there is not a single
church in the place. Hank Blanchard,
however, is there, Blu. it is only by the
most strenuous e~xhortations and constant
wrestling with the devil that he is able to
keep the Bodie gospel notes and moral
harmonies tuned up to concert pitch.
