New Engine and Cars.

Engine No. 3 for the Bodie q
Mono Lake X. r. made trial trip
ia Dayton on Monday, hauling two
new cars, numbers 5 and six, for the
G. & G. The engine is a powerful
six wheel connected. 1t is not so
fast as the four wheelers used on the
c. c., but it is more powerful as it
must be to do the work on the ez-
traordinary grades and curves Of the
Mono Lake road. Cars 5 aud 6 are
a slight improvement even upon the
old cars, which are themselves fine
specimens of the Car builders art.
No.5, the passenger coach has close
cane woven seats, which look both
comfortable and Durable.

THE SALARY ACT.
Judge Mckinney Declares 1t Con
stitutiOnal.

The following is from the Silver
State: The Eureka Sentinel learns
from C. j. Lansing, who returned
from Belmont, that the injunction
suit brought there in the District
Court, bv one of the creditors O.
Nye county az inst ~ Comfy Goa
missioners and the Count Auditor
and Treasurer, in which a restraining
order was issued about September /,
and an order to show cause why in
junction should not issue set for
hearing November T. At the hearing
the Court refused the application for
Injunction, and dissolved the restrain
ing order heretofore issued. The
reason tor the institution of the suit
is that the Board of Commissioners,
acting under the salary law, had
transferred moneys from the General
Fund of Nye county to the Salary
Fund, in compliance with section 30
of the Act concerning salaries. The
creditors instituted this suit to deter
mine the coustitutionality of the law.
The point raised was whether the eff
feet of the law is not to impair the
obligation of contracts in putting
the claims Of the present county oih-
GERS in precedence of other obliga-
tons of an earlier date. Judge Nc
Kenuey's decision is that the salary
law is constitutional, and that 1t does
not impair the obligations of former
contracts. This is the second case
in which this law has been decided
valid, Eureka County District Court
having rendered the same decision.

Silver City Items,

The south shaft OF tie Emi grant
has been sunk and timbered to the
200 foot level, sud DRIFT will be run
as soon as possible to cut the ore
body which was discovered on the
140 foot leyel.
But little ore is now being taken
out because the ore skip is in con-
tinual use by the men working i'll
the shift.
All the hosting is done by the
engine taken from the Phil. Sheridan
Mine.
The force at the royal shaft has
been increased and considerable ore
is now being raised.

Well Bestowed.

A correspondent Of the Esmeral-
da Herald in writing about
the Mason Valley Fair gives the fol-
lowing account of the vote for the
prize to be given to the handsomest
lady present.:
While the merriment was at its
height, vote was taken upon the
handsomest lady present, for Il purse
OF 81. This vote created consider
able excitement among the far sex,
and could either one of them had the
casting vote 1t would have been cast
for herself. But there we're several
who received Il good vote, and the
prize was awarded to Mrs. Walker,
teacher Of School District No. 7,
who stepped forward and thanked
the gentlemen for the honor coferred
on her, aud then generously donated
the purse to old Mr.. and Mrs. Sims,
which act of generosity was received
wita deaienlug demonstrations from
tie entire audience.
Mrs. Walker is the sister of Mrs.
Louis Vincent of this city, and was
for a long time u resident of this
county, and her numerous friends
here think the prize was worthily
bestowed.

A Collapsed Flue.

On Monday, when engine No. B
for the Bode g. Mono Lake r. r. on
its retun from the trial nip, had ar
rived about opposite the wood yard,
flue collapsed. Messrs. Yerington
and Smith who were aboard, were
very anxious to reach the Mound
Hcuse in time to catch the V. &. I.
train to Carson. They secured the
town for team, but as it * as a very
windy day all the owners of carriages
6uggies, buck boards aud other light
running vehicles were using them
either for business or pleasure. 1t
was important that they should
catch the train, and the only convey.
ance to be obtained in a hurry was
the spring wagon. in which Barnes
and Swart haul around their cele-
brated No. 1 Steck Pierlps, which
pumps by the way have given entire
satisfaction to all purchasers. The
day was wild and the mustangs in
charge of the front end Of the wagon
we're also wild. Serious misgivings
we're entertained by the two railroad
gentlemen lest one of the animals
might also collapse fue, the react
ion from which would send an iron
shod hoof over the dashboard, and
Mr.. Yerington while communing TO
himself, was overheard observing in
quiet way that he wished that en-
CINE had been like Barnes and Swart's
No. Stock Pumps, which are com
plete when they leave the factory,
and are warranted neither to collapse
a fue, explode or lose the sucker.
The journey was made in safety, but
lust at the end of the drive one of
the animals gave way to the natural
levity of its disposition, and Mr..
Smith, who was sitting paxt the brake
mistook it for a momeii?:dd Tor the re-
verse lever of a locomotive, and
pulled it the wrong way, but he saw
Immediately that he was mistaken,
and for a short time, to find the right
place for it, moved it back and forth
as though he was working the handle
of one OF Barnes and Swart's No. l
Stock Pumps, which are adapted to
all climates. are not affected by heat
or cold, and are made of different
sizes to raise water in greater or less
volume, as may be required. The
engine was hauled to the Mound
House that evening where the dam
age was repaired.

Another Old Timer 6 0ne.

As,rlll be seen by the regular no.
tee in another column, j. G. Ali,
an old resident Of Dayton, died at
the Woodbridge Asylum in Califor-
ma. He had been a resident of thus
county for 16 years, and two years
ago his feet were frozen in an attempt
to walk from Sutro to Virginia in
the snow. 1t became necessary to
amputate both legs below the knees,
and he was furnished with artificial
limbs by private subscription. Since
then he was until he died a charge
upon the county, and during most
of the time his MUD was 50 affected
that he gave his attendants a great
deal of trouble. Whenever opportu-
nifty would offer he would escape and
wonder off into the hills, where he
has been several times discovered by
mere accident, almost dead from ex-
posture and want. He was sent to
the Insane Asylum on the 18Th OF last
June, where he remained until he
died.

A Slight Change Of Programme.

Experience has taught the ranch
ers of Mason Valley that even at
present low prices hay is a better
crop than grain. The majority of
them are now talking of going into
stock and hay exclusively, raising
less stock and better quality, and
many of them contemplate going
into the dairy bushes extensively.

TeO Short IA Crossing.

II. F. Swasey broke wagon wheel
on Sunday while driving across the
G. & G. track at the third crossing
this side of the Toll House. The
wagon road crosses the railroad at
that point diagonally, and the ranch
ers of Mason Valley make com
plants that the planks are too short,
and that frequent accidents of like
nature occur.

improvements in Mason Valley.

The ranchers in Mason Valley have
heretofore occupied an unattractive
in appearance, though productive,
locality. Their immense crops this
year and the prospects ahead have
started them to thinking Of im prove
ments in the way of appearance and
comfort. Large numbers OF fruit
aud shade trees are being set out,
some very extensive orchards have
been planted, and the trees and fences
necessary to protect them will make
a vast improvement in the appearance
and in the solid prosperity and actu-
al value of properly. c. o. Damon
amongst the foremost in work of
this kind, has already an orchard of
two hundred trees, and his neighbors
are not far behind. Planting fruit
and shade trees and the care of them
for the first few years is expensive
and troublesome, but the result in
the end will more than compensate
for the outlay.

That life is fitting away,
With only round Of triflcs
Filling eacl, busy day
busting the hooks and corners
Making tho house look fair,
And patiently taking on me
The burden Uf wumans care.
Comforting childish sorrows
And charming the childish heart
With the simple song and story,
T"ld with mothers art.
Setting the dear home table
And clearing the meal away.
And going on little errands
In the twilight OF the day.
One day is just like another
Sewing and piecIng well
Little jackets untl truwscrs,
So neatly that none can tell
Where are the seams and .joinng7
All the seamy side of life
Is kept out Of sight by the magic
OF many Il mother and wife
And oft when am ready to murmur
That time is fitting away
With the self same round Of duties
Filling each busy day,
1t comes to my spirit swcetly,
With the grace OF II thought divine,
You are living and toiling tor loves SAKE
And the loving should never repine.'
