A VETERAN PROSPECTOR
Our Local Mines.

TefhapS there IS no propensity o
characteristic in human nature NOR
d evident than the one which induce
people to give credence to illusions no
easily proven to even have foundation
instead of investigating facts within
their grasp. The idea that " distance
lends enchantment to the view" is
daily proven to be correct one in
many ways, and particularly in regard
to the mines, We may meet on the
streets of Carson to-day returned pros
pectors from Wood River, who invested
their ali to go there and return. OF course
all nave immense interests there. ''The
country is rich in the precious metals :;
wood is plenty water is plenty; living
or its cost is no greater than here"
Still they come back to the depression
and dullnes of Western Nevada. The
question arises in the minds of the
simple, Why not stay there? The
next question is, Why not do the pros
pecting and spend the money here
That there is rich ore in this district
the writer Of this article is prepared
to prove. In the Fall of 1878
l prospected on the northern side Of
Clear Creek, about one mile from the
Voltaire mine, in 6 southwes direction.
Previously to prospecting 1 sc mt three
specimens of the rock taken from an old
shaft which was sunk in 1863 to the
late Conrad Wiegand, which assayed
thus: No. ], Sls6; No. ..
s27o; No. 3, $4l2. During the Winter
Of 1879 l sent to James c. Gage, of
six pounds of the rock to be
worked in prospecting pan, the re-
suit Of which test was s72 per ton,
process. The question may
arise, Why did you not pursue the
prospect and continue work &? To such
! query answer, I was net able
20 pursue the work alone, and
despite the encouragement, no
oerssn in Carson would, even in the
presence of proofs sufficient to induce
ome to travel 500 miles, take any
interest, or even advance the means Of
bare living for any interest whatever.
The place has every advantage but is
cry wet, the water rising to the sur
ace on the ledge. During an expert
nee Of 80 years in the mines, had
reviousiy found it the opinion of ex-
erts that the presence Of water denoted
n unbroken ledge and clay walls.
ut all this signified nothing. So the
respect stands undeveloped, while
nough money has been spent during
le last two years by individuals In
base of phantoms to prove all that is
to know, that is, the extent
nd permanence of the deposit. At
resent new mill is near completion,
'ithout, so far as we know, local aid.
ullness is the general complaint. S
Hers are on every corner, who are /
illing to work. A mere nominal ex- L
ense might develop something of i'm
,rtance. One objection is, there are
, heavy groupings" Well, there
ere no groupings in the Allison Ranch =

lutes are formed where the groupings !.

Mrs. J. p. Becker, of Gold Hill, has
received from Gold Hill Lodge, An.
cient Order of United Workmen, the
$4,000 insurance on her late husbands
life. This Order is becoming quite
strong throughout the State, quite an
interest having been taken in it since
the formation of Grand Lodge some
months ago. 1t insures to the widows
and orphans of its members the sum of
$4,000 in case of death. Ormsby Lodge
In Carson has a fair membership, and
since its organization has lost but one
member by death, the $4,000 being
promptly paid to the widow.

mucca .Sil'er State of Tuesday, who ha.
been braking for Conductor Hopkins or
| the passenger train, went to Iron Point
yesterday, on what the railroad meA
call a "light special" that is, the
engine and cabOose. In getting off the
caboose, while it was in motion, to re-
turn here on the west bound train. he
stumbled and fell, and the forward
trucks passed over his right leg at the
ankle, crushing the bones. He was
brought here on the west bound train,
and DR.. Hanson amputated the crushed
limb about half way between the ankle
and knee. The operation was bloodless,
and the patient, being under the in
fluence of chloroform, was not con-
scious Of what had TRANSFERRED until it
was over. He is doing as we'll as could
be expected under the circumstances.

thing must be done, or we would be left
without provisions. NY ewes fell on a bed
Of dried palmettOes that had been used by
the Indians. To gather and set them ablaze,
was the work Of a few seconds. With the
flaming mass we advanced on the great
lizards. In the light of the blaze they re-
treated to the lake. We suspended the
bag Of pork from a tree that hung over the
bank and in the morning the sand looked
as though a rebel brigade had been throw
ing up trenches.
The inlet connecting the lake with
the ocean had been closed by bank of
ostutl lilIONu up IN an etiSLtIlF hurricane.
On this bank I encamped for q week.
Schools Of spotted bass, snappers, grOupers,
crOakers, and white drum had been shutin
the lake by the closing of the inlet. At
high tide the water from the ocean DercO-
lated through the sand, and the fishes
swarmed to the bay to get a taste Of the
fresh salt water. While fishing here / dis

movements with apparent interest As he
seemed civil and not evily disposed, I
threw him in a twenty pound bass, and he
ate it with a relish For six days he re
mained near me, Teaping q harvest. He at
last became so tame that he stationed him
self thirty feet away, and received his fish
with evident pleasure. Nor did he act the
hog, Or display any ingratitnde. He took
only the fish that were thrown to him. At
one time a vicious bluefsh snapped the
line above the float, and a huge white drum
ran off with the bait I followed the float
in a boat and secured it. When 1 returned
the old alligator was at his station, and a
pile of choice fish that / had reserved for
myself were Undisturbed.

Courtship in GreenIand.

There is something exceedingly melan-
chOly in the accounts which are given Of
the custom of cOurtship in Greenland.
Generally women enter upon the blessed
estate with more willingness and less so
icitude than men. The women of Green
land are an exception to this rule. A
Greenlander, having his affections upon
some female, acqUaints his parents with
the state of his heart. They apply to the
parents of the girl, and if the parents are
thus agreed the next proceeding is to ap-
point two female negOtiatOrs whose duty is
to hrOach the subject to the young lady.
This is q matter Of great tact and delicacy.
The lady ambassadors do not shock the
young lady to whom they are sent by any
sudden or abrupt ayOwal Of the awful sub
ject Of their mission. Instead of doing
this they launch out in praises Of the gen
tleman who seeks her hand. They speak
Of the splendOr of his house, the sJmptu-
business of his furniture, of his courage
and skill in catching seals, and other ac-
cOmplishments. The lady, pretending to
be afrOnted even at these remote hints,
runs away, tearing the riuglets of hair as
she yetires, while the ambassadresses, hav-
ing got the consent of her parents, pursue
her, take her by force to the house Of her
destined husband, and there leave her.
Compelled to remain there, she sits for days
with dishevelled hair, silent and detected,
refusing every kind Of sustenance, until at
last, if kind entreaties do not prevail,
she is compelled by force, and even by
blows, TO submit to the detested union. IN
some cases the Greenland women faint at
1 he 1,rODOsa1s of 1,1arrioua in others fbav
fly to the mountains and only return when
compelled to do so by hunger and cold.
If one cuts of her hair it is a sign that she
is determined to resist to death. The Green
land wife is the slave of her husband,
doomed to a life Of toll, drudgery and pri-
vatiOn

A jeweler in New York was robbed Of q
valuable set Of diamond ear rings in the
following manner. A gentlemanly appear
ing fellow made bargain for the ear rings,
counted out the money, hesitated, was not
certain that his wife would like them,
would ask the privilege Of taking them
home before completing the purchase. The
money was handed to a clerk who put It
in an envelope and sealed it. The stran-
ger then wrote his name upon il, and, as
the jeweler supposed, handed it back to be
put in the safe till his return. The sharper
had changed an envelope filed with strips
Of paper for the one containing the money
