Nevada's Friend.

A we'll informed man who has found
it necessary to investigate the standing
of the Carson Mint, tells the Reno
Gazette that it will only run periodical
". This is owing to the fact that bull
lion cannot be obtained. Senator Fair
prefers to have all the bullion shipped
to his own refinery in San Francisco.
If the honorable Senator would consent
the Carson Mint might be kept busy.
In answer to this Colonel Fair would
probably say: "There's more dawgs
in Constantinople than any place you
ever saw'n yer life"

DOOMED TO DEATH.
Chnrley Hin. Sentenced to be Executed.

In the District Court yesterday after
noon, says the .Sitrer State Of August
the Court denied the motion of defend
ants counsel for an arrest of judgment
and for new trial in the case o
Charley Hing, convicted of murder in
the first degree. The grounds or
which the latter motion was based were
that the Court erred in instructing the
jury as to the credibility of the defend
ants testimony in bis own behalf
These were overruled, as the Supreme
Court, as shown by the Court, had re.
peatedly decided chat the instruction
objected to was in accordance with
the acknowledged provisions Of the
statutes. The defendant. who speaks
English well, and who sat with his
head bowed down during the argu-
| ment, was ordered to rise to his feet,
and was led by the Sheriff to the side
of the Clerks desk. The Court ex-
planned the nature of the indictment,
and Of his plea and the verdict OF the
jury, and asked if he had anything
further to say why sentence and judy
ment should not be pronounced in ac-
cordaEce with law. The defendant,
through his counsel, replied that he had
not. The Court then said that it WAS
its judgment that the defendant,
Charley Hing, be remanded TO the GUS
tody of the Sheriff, to be by him kept
in the County Jail, or in any secure
place, until the 9th day Of September
next, and that on said day, between the
honrs of 8 O'clock A. NJ. and o'clock
P. NJ. he be taken from the Jail, or
place Of confinement, to a place pre-
pared for the purpose, and be hanged
by the neck until dead. The Chinaman,
who had been shedding tears cOpiOusly
when in court since the verdict of the
jury in his case had been announced,
stood with head erect during the time
sentence was being pronounced, and
left the courtroom apparently less con-
cerned as to his fate than when he
entered it.

THE LAKE SUICIDE.


The body of Frank Warner, the young
man who committed suicide day before
yesterday at the lake, has not yet been
discovered, nor is it likely to be, as
bodies sinking in that latitude seldom,
if ever, come to the surface. Percy
Parkinson, who saw the man jump over
board, was at the stern of the Stanford
when Warner sprang into the waves.
1t was about ten O'clock in the morn
ing, and the boat was on her
way to Tahoe City. The alarm Was
Immediately given, and the steamer
backed to the spot where the hat of the
deceased was floating but no further
traces of him could be found Warner
was about IS years Of age and born in
Eldorado county, California. He was
EMPLOYED Oh the boat and he and his
brother Charles supported five sisters.
On Monday night he was paid off and
instead of sending the money home lest
it at gambling tible. Just before Il e
act he settled his liquor bill and then
walking aft plunged into the lake. A
moment later he called for help as if
repenting the deed, but he could not
swim and sank almost immediately.

excitement comes when the melons are
thrust through the fence, followed by
the flight across the new mown field

Who does not look back upon these sports

Of keen enjoyment and wish they might
Come again. Who does not go back
with single leap of memory to the

rounded and ripened in the generous
New England sun, where the broad,
heavy leaves beaten by the breeze aped
the waves of the sea in color and motion,
where the sweet perfumes of crushed
and tumbled hay spiced the night air
and the low music of the truant brook
seemed to speak increasingly with the
earnest and voiceful tongue of nature.
But how changed has been the time.
A railroad has ripped its way through
that watermelon patch and its adjacent
fields. On the spot where We cut the
first ripe fruit depot now stands where
four prices are charged for freight. The
brook is stagnant marsh, where the
frogs croak and the green scum of
gathers. The old farmer
who thrivcd and fattened in spite of
midnight marauders has been devoured
with all his substance by high tariffs |
and now lies In the grave, prematurely |

litigation with the corporation. The |
honest old bulldog whose mellow bay |

THE MINT INVESTIGATION.
Conner Cicott Gives Some Damaging
@ Testimony hk

! The fifth day of the Mint investiga
ton is reported very fully in TIL
Bulletin. Frank II. Cicott, the ex
coiner, was on the stand. 1t is
noticeable fact that employees of the Min
are very reluctant in testifying, as i
they feared discharge. The ex-otficer
on the contrary tell all they know
Cicott in his testimony said that ne was
the ex-coiner and discharged because
Page wished to make himself strong
His reply was stricken from the evil
dence and he continued:
off ingots are unfit they break up. In
some cases the bullion has been excep.
tionally bad. In such cases the expen-
ses are added to. The metal must be
rehandled. 1t must be remelted. The
percentage Of good metal that can be run
into coin is between 50 and 81 per cent.
When the metal is of poor quality the
percentage is about ga per cent. That
was the percentage on the total amount
of bullion worked in 1S7S-79. In 1872
so the percentage was $3.50. In 1SS0-Sl
the percentage was 47.S.
l879-SO we had rejected 69S,36S,51
ounces on account of lightness of weight.
There were condemned chips-pieces
that fall off the blanks.
I called the attention of Superinten-
dent Dodge to the bad character Of the
metal. l accompanied him to the
Coiner's room, and showed him the
evils of using bad metal.
Mr.. Cicott here read letter which
he addressed to Superintendent Dodge
in March IA, 1881, complaining of the
ingots and the large Increase in the
amount of condemned metal.
Dodge made a daily tour of the Mint.
1 understand he has control Of the Mint.
After complaining to Superintendent
Dodge there was no remedy applied to
the evil. The quantity of condemned
metal increased. 1 complained of the
baseness of the metal because l wanted
to do as good work as other MINIS.
On account of the baseness of the
metal there is added about one months
work in twelve. The expenses in two
years, on account of condeInning metal,
IS about $4,000. At the end of each
year I make settlement with the Su-
Of the Mint.
Mr.. Dodge's attention was called to
he character Of the metal. I think Mr..
Dodge was willfully negligent or igno-
ant.
1 never had any consultation with |
Mr.. Page. Never had any long talks
With him. Called on him at the Palace |
Hotel, and told him that had papers
md data. 1 thought the Superintendent
would plead the baby act, and throw
he responsibility on the heads of de-
,artments. have no malicious feeling
oward Mr.. Dodge. have not sought
o have the charges prosecuted.
DR.. Adams foreman of the cutting
DOM testified. The bullion used for
dining has been very bad at times. A
,ood yield cannot be obtained from this
METAL. 1t was understood to be North
m Belle bullion. 1 don't know the
of loss occasioned by the use

ears the amount of bad bullion has
cen on the increase.

In ONE OF THE FEMALE COLLEGES of
the East some one has endowed a chair of
swimming. At least SO says the truthful
James, who furnishes the New York Times
with editorial fairy tales once or twice u
week. This veracious chroniclcr goes on to
give some highly instructive figures as to
the success with which girls learned the
noble art. The Baptist maidens led off,
because they were caught young and taught
to duck under water without shrieking
ooh, my!" The Methodsts and Presby-
terians came next, because it was part of
their creed to pay attention to their back
hair, the most pious austerity being re-
quired in the use of that worldly adorn-
ment. And last came the melting Episco-
palian, who could hardly be taught to swim
under any circumstances. The alleged
cause is sort of inborn propensity on the
part of the girls of this denomination, to
pay a very high regard to the aforesaid
back hair, and it seems that girls who in
dulgc in this habit and propose to keep the
moisture out of their locks ut any expense,
find great difficulty in learning to swim. 1t
has not been generally supposed that re-
lgion entered so largely into the swimming
art, but the above figures and facts are tear
fully submitted to the fair sex.
