glish company have erected a smelt-
ing furnace near the mine and offer
to work the ore, paying the locaters
a handsome royal.

"YOust POND Der Zame Nit Dose"

A good looking, buxom young
German woman entered one of the
leading furnishing stores in city
not more than a thousand miles from
Dayton, the other day, and enquired
in broken English for a particular
quality of colored yarn used for
knitting stockings, and not being
clearly comprehended by the female
clerks Of the establishment was d.
rected to one of the male clerks.
After making several vain attempts
to describe the article she was in
search of, she finally struck bright
idea, and placing her foot on the
counter, thus displaying an enormous
length of hose, she said, "youst poind
der zane nit dose, young weller"
The female employees of the place
had pressing bushes to attend to in
the rear part of the store about that
time, and the dapper young man
with a wilted shirt bosom, started
for the door to see if there WASH t
runaway or dog fight.

The Rain Storm.

Last Saturday opened up cold and
cloudy, and the atmosphere betoken-
ed rain, but, as have all the at.
tempts, it proved a false alarm, as
there was but slight sprinkle,
though it Numbered and lightened
strong enough for full-grown storm.
Sunday, however, there was more
successful attempt made, and the
heaviest shower Daytonites have
witnessed for some time occurred,
and it cleaned things up beautifully,
laying the dust 30 that sprGkling
was not necessary for several days,
and making the grass and shrubbery
look green. A shower of the kind
about once a week would be a
perfect godsend to the inhabitants of
this parched up and dusty village,
and it is hoped that the man above,
who has charge of the big sprinkling-
pot will be a little more liberal here
after, and shower US oftener.

Fired from the Train.

Ex-roadmaster, Merriman, was
forced from the passenger train on
the C. & G.. K. X. last Thursday
morning near Dutch Nick's. 1t
seems that he had boarded the train
to 90 out to the front, aud when con-
ductor Baillie demanded his ticket
or the fare, Merriman refused to
put up. There was quite dispute
hel d aud Merriman was ordered off
the train, but he also refused to
go. Mr.. Baltic thereupon produced
a revolver and pursuaded Mr.. Mer-
riman into the belief that it would
be greatly to his advantage TO get of,
and he accordingly did get off.

view with Mr.. Birdsall.
The Lyon Mill is just now an OBJ
ject of interest to our people. 1t is
employing 100 men, and gives prom
Use of large business in the near
future. 1t, apparently, is to be the
regenerator of the early business
prosperity of Dayton. And in con-
sequence of this, brief history OF
the mill may be interesting to our
readers.
The mill was built in 1865 by Mr..
Fred Birdsall in company with Mr..
Carpenter. The first building erect
ed cost 100000. Shortly after an
addition was made costing 500, 900,
making the entire first cost $206, 900.
1t was built as quartz mill, having
80 stamps. 1t started up on Chollar
ore, and afterwards worked ore from
the Occidental and other mines. Its
best run was 300 tons OF Occident-
al ore in one month. 1t ran about
four years on ore, working over 6S,-
900 tons. In 1870 it was changed to
a tailings mill and has averaged
since then $4,000 tons per year. Its
best run on tailings was 90, 900 tons
in one year. 1t is claimed that no
other MILL on the Pacific Coast can
show as much work accomplished.
A reporter of the TINES had an
interview with Mr.. Birdsall, the
principal owner of the mill, last
Thursday, ana learned from him the
following: The company are now
pure chasing all the ore they can Sc.
cure. In case they obtain suffl
Gent amonnt they will at once put in
80 stamps and engage in the bust
nes Of ore crushing. They do not
propose to do any custom work, but
will purchase at a certain per cent
of assay value all ore offered. A
smelling furnace will be built as
soon as it is shown that sufficient
paying ore can be obtained. The
company will have a wood drive
of 1000 cords here in two weeks.
In future they expect to use 5000
cords per year. Mr.. Birdsall and
Superintendent Scott started out on
a business tour Wednesday. They
will visit Hawthorne, Bellville and
Canelaria with the purpose of ascer-
tanning in a measure the amount
and quality of ore that m ight be OBJ
tanned from those localities. We
believe Dayton is on the eve OF a
grand business boom.

Como Briefs.

Sinking continues on the Mohawk.
Mr.. Welter, the mill man, was in

Mis-. H. w. Ely, wife of the hotel
proprietor, has been visiting friends
in Dayton during the past week.
Work will be resumed on the Eu-
reka next Monday, by John 10th
rop, the present owner of the mine.
The Como Eureka G. & s. Mining
Company, recently incorporated in
San Francisco, is corporation with
out a mine. It's history is told in
few words. Some months ago c. w.
Leonard, Lucien Hermann and other
San Francisco parties, made an agree
mont with Harry Symonds to the eff
feet that If he would get deeds from
the original locaters of the Eureka
they would furnish him $4,000 with
which to pay all outstanding bills
against the mine. They further
agreed that they would then put up
Sl5, 900 to develop the mine. Mr..
Symonds performed his part of the
contract. Articles of incorporation
were filed and stock issued, but no
money was put up by the San Fran
cisco parties. They are reported to
have sold $1,000 worth of stock, and
are consequently in an awkward pre-
dicament, as the mine is owned by
John Lothrop, Esq, of Dayton, who
has the Sheriff's deed for the same.

INCIDENTS.

Picnickers from Dayton usually go
well provided with eatables and
drinknbles of all kinds. This is
especially the case with ex-C"unty
Recorder, John Lothrop, who is
known to be II most ravenous cater
on such occasions. He leaves some
thing tor others to eat, only because
he brings so much that 1t is lmpos
sIble for any one man, were he Lange
(of German legendary lore) himself,
to dispose of it all. On this occa-
sion, however, his programme was
seriously marred. Some wag hid
two of his baskets ut the depot-a
fact which he did not discover until
arriving at the grounds. Had he
then caught the pnrloiuer there would
have been corpse at the bottom Of
the Carson river,
r. A. Cooke ana J. G. Gruber,
both noted nimrods, had their guns
with them for dove hunt. Doc.
Sims and Byron Gates acted as
scouts for them. They came upon
several pleasure seeking parties GOT
two each) aud attempted on one oc-
casion to misead the hunter by re-
porting one as pair of doves that
might be taken at one shot. Bob
and Charley were all excite
ment, and rushed eagerly to
the spot indicated. They found
themselves nicely sold.
A gentleman who was rowing some
young schoolmarms across the river
had his kindness repaid by getting
his head ducked under water. His
oar soon accidentally caughta crab
and over the whole party went into
the river. The oarsman being an
expert swimmer, by heroic efforts
saved them all. The young school
marms were convinced that, though
"The scent Of the roses" might re
main in shattered vase, young
ladies' cannot shatter an oarsman's
nerves without getting wet. This
was the only accident of the day,
and it turned out so harmless that it
was rather enjoyed by the rartici-
pants.
AT 4:45 the train arrived at the
grounds, and in 3S minutes the
thoroughly satisfied company OF
picnickers were whirled over space
of twenty miles and landed safely in
Dayton. Taken all in all, the picnic
was u grand success, and will long
be remembered by all who attended.

THE SCHOOL PICNIC.
An Enjoyable Affair-A Large At
tendance-Mr. and Mrs. Buck
lands Kindly EffOrts-Incidents.

The school children of Dayton
had a most enjoyable time at the
picnic last Saturday. For weeks
they had been on the qut UiUe in
expectation of ride over the G. &
G. r. r. The School Board kindly
gave them on the Friday previous, a
half days vacation. Then all was
hustle and anxiety with them. The
notes of preparation resounded till
late Friday evening, and when at
length the eventful morning arrived,
shouts and peals of laughter were
heard as they hurried from their
several homes to the depnt. Nor
were the older portion Of the com
munity free from excitement. Elder
ly danes and beaux were seen rush
ing hither and thither with baskets
and bottles strung about them in
profusion. The train approaches-
three fat cars are filled with an ex.
cited and joyous band Of men and
children, matrons and maids. The
bell rings, and away they speed over
the desert aud down the river to
Buckland's ranch, two and a half
miles this side of his residence. The
cars are quickly uniuaded of their
precious freightage, and ut once the
grove rings with merry shouts from
a hundred and fifty throats. The
ground was found cleared Of the
brush and debris which dame nature
had left upon il, and tables had been
erected, seats provided, and swings
put up. And thus everything was
found in excellent order tor the use
of the pleasure seekers. Sam Buck
land had done all this at his own ex-
pense and for the pleasure of the
picnickers, whom he considered his
guests. Universal praise was ac-
corded him, and he and his amlable
spouse, Mrs b., were given an
enthusiastic vote of thanks at the
close of the days festivities. Swing
ing, racing, ball playing, boating and
pleasure strolling were the chlel
anu sements.
The boys foot lace was won by
Allie Jsqua, Frank Lothrop coming
in second. A fac foot ball game
was ripped il the bud by some
ruthless vandal who slit the ball
open. There should Le written over
his grave, Requiescat in Hades.

Miss Austin's Industrial School.


A CHRONICLE representative paid brief
visit yesterday to the industrial school un-
der the management of Miss E. L. Austin,
at the Austin school building, and was
much pleased with the exercises. Miss
Austin has succeeded in having an indus
trial department established regular
ly in the public school taught
there, and Rotations are given in
her room to thd girls in the VARIOUS depart
ments of house work. A large class of girls
were being instructed by Mrs. Greenwood
and Miss Mccain in sewing of various
kinds. An exercise in kitchen garden wrs
also gone through, under the leadership of
Miss Austin, and a gymnastic exercise with
dumb bells, led by Theophilus Niles.
Miss Austin is indeed doing an excellent
work among these pepole, and is deserving
of encouragement. This industrial depart
ment is one of the most useful in the school
The children, by this agency, are instructed
in branches of usefulness that will be Of
great benefit to them in after years. The
system is so arranged, also, that the chill
dren readily take hold of it, and learn
easily.
