Those persons who have attacked Admiral
Nicholson for his conduct after the lombard
ment of Alexandria probably will now hold their
peace-it is too much to expect that they will
admit that they did him great injustice. The
day before the attack the Admiral withdrew
beyond the bar and did not return to the har-
Dor for several days. He then sent marines
ashore to protect the American Consulate ana
was asked by the Khedve to aid in extlnguish-
ing the fires that were raging, and in preserV-
ing order Admiral Nicholson would have oeen
lacking in humanity if he had refused 10 cum,
ply with this request, and in doing all ne couiu

Some legislation is needed in the interests
of sea-captains 1t is said that Honest Jack
very often mutinies when bis ship puts into
port in distress if he has received his wages
in advance. He hopes thus to secure dis
charge, and TO be at liberty to repeat his trick
and double his wages. Shipping agents are
often bis accomplices. This is apparently the
case on board the Northern Light, which is
reported TO be a typical American ship. Her
captain bears the reputation OF being a kind
and efficient officer. Mutiny under such cir
cumstances merits the most severe punish
ment.
The leaders of the striking railway employees
now admit that they are defeated ana to-day
the hungry freight handlers will apply for
work at their old wages-17 cents an hour.
The last chance of the men disappeared thr ee
weeks ago, and for the privations which they
have endured since then their lying leaders
are responsible. Not without great blame are
the demagOgues at large who have used this
strike To increase their nOtoriety or TO
strengthen them in their attacks upon the
railways. Once again it has been proved that
. strike is not good remedy for labor trou-
bles.
The authorities will not show proper re-
gard for their personal safety if they do not

Riding on the Rail.

Last Sunday as the train on the
c. s. c. was pulling out from the
depot young lady of our town
boarded the passenger coach for a
short ride, intending to jump off at
the wood yard, but to her chagrin
the train had attained such rate OF
speed when it reached this point
that she was afraid to make the jump,
and was therefore obliged to stay on
until she reached the Mound House.
There being no conveyance by which
Miss - could return that night
she was obliged to remain over night
and wait until the morning train left
for Dayton. The story that the young
lady was induced by brakeman on
the road to go to Carson with him
is false, and, although the unfortu-
nate escapade led to the young la
days receiving a sound spanking on
her return home, and the temporary
discharge of the "brakie," it is hoped
Jimmy will soon be back in his old
place.

Operations on the Bodie Railway

PENDED for the Winter. Supplies

have been delivered at the mines, and
the railroad will be in operation again

Tie Snow Storm.

Last Monday evening it commenc
ed showing, very feGbly at first, but
after it had got fairly started the
flakes came down thick and fast.
Tuesday morning there was about
five inches of snow on the ground,
and before noon it had showed
enough to make a good six inches.
This is more snow than Daytonites
have seen here tor some time, and
as sleighing is rare treat to most of
people it was taken advantage of by
all who could rustic ups rig. Sever
al parties were down from Virginia
with sleighs and reported the sleigh
ing good all the way. The storm

A Carson Bum.

The Appeal says there is an old
man in Carson who stands on street
corners begging far dimes, on the
plea that he wants to purchase tobac-
co. When he docs occasionally re
ceive coin from stranger he at
once converts it into China liquor.
For many years he was a prosperous
and respected man in this communi-
ty. The over indulgence in drink
has brought him to this depIorable
condition. Here is another strong
and liviag temperance example.

From Butte City.

Charley Anderson writing to a
friend in Tuscarora, from Butte City,
Montana, under date Of Jan. 10th,
says: II am here and | guess III
have to stay for some time, anyway.
IT'S SAID 'all fields look green from
a distance and this particular one
certainly looks greener and brighter
from Nevada than it does upon taking
a nearer view. There is great in
tiux of population at the present
time, and it is predicted that it will
be materially augmented in the
Spring, but it will soon vanish, as
there is nothing here to justify 1t.
This assertion is borne out by the
fact that the Alice mine, the principal
one in the district, which is running
so stamps, ships bullion TO the value
of IRON $4,000 TO $4,000 per week
only, and the other 60 stamp that are
running in the camp like proper,
ton. This is not equal to the Grand
Prize, when it used to roll out bullion
al the rate of $4,000 to $4,000
week with its 90 stamps. The
Nevada boys do net seem to like it
here, and nearly every one of them
say they will 90 back in the Spring
if things liven up there little. 1t
is colder here than it was on top Of
the North Pole where l was born
aud raised. 1t is SO cold that it treez-
es ice between married people, and as
II consequence the town is overrun
with grass widows. The night | ar
rived here, King Boreas pushed the
therm ometer down TO 1So below zero,
and has since kept it there with a
little variation of frcm 12o to $50.

Lake District.

Lake district is situated about ten miles
southeast of Hawthorne. 1t is easy Of access
from that place, and bids fair to be one of the
best bullion producing districts in the Walker
Lake region. The group Of mines owned by
Hanks and Adams showing very fine ore.
some very rich gold rock being found; the
majority, however. being chlorides and ar
gentiferous gslena. The principal mines at
present are the Mountain Chief, Secretary
and Central. Ore from the Central is now
being shipped, this is taken from the surface
and some of it i very rich. The ledge of
the Secretary is about ten feet in width and
contains a large proportion of very good ore.
The Mountain Chief has been opened 10 a
depth Of 100 feet, and from this mine in q
short time ore will be shipped. This ledge is
very rich and great expectations are founded
upon its present showing. The district has
no water but it is expected that water can be
found at no great depth, about four miles
from the mines There is tract of timber
about Ave miles from the mines, higher up in
the mountains. The mines are found in d
limestone and slate formation. Except for
the scarcity of water this will be district
early prospected and work sd, as the mineral
belt is easily accessible and good wagon roads
can be found almost anywhere.

Died in the Mountains,

On Friday morning of last week
the body of sheep herder named
VIM, Wilson, was brought into Green.
field, Mason Valley, Wilson had
been herding sheep in the mountains
east of the Valley, and having been
missed for some days, search was
made for him. His tracks were fol-
lowed two days, during the search at
two places sheep were found which
he had killed for the purpose of suck
ing the blood. When found he was
frozen stiff, but it is probable that
the cold was not the cause of his
death, except as a consequence of his
exposing himself, as he had his coat
in bundle under bis arm. 1t is
surmised that he became deranged
and possibly died in aft, as his body
was in cramped position similar to
the effect produced by SPANS, and
his hands had been clutching at the
ground. lie had eight hundred sheep
in his band and they were not found
for some days afterwards. Wilson
was formerly miner in Virginia
and at one time worked around Day
ton. The verdict Of The coroner'S
inquest was that he died from eX-
posure.

A FATAL ACCIDENT.
Death Of ex District Attorney,
John Powell, Jr.

A sad and fatal accident happened
here during the early part of Tues

ing frozen on Mr.. Powell's premises,
he had gone to the we'll of his neigh

Around the platform of the well,
which is on Pike street, almost d.
rectly in front of the Golden Eagle
Hotel, was a quantity OF ice which
made 1t very slippery, and in trying
to lift the bucket out of the well Mr..
Powell's feet slipped from beneath
him, and he pitched head foremost
to the bottom, distance of thirt.one
feet. Fortunately the accident was
witnessed, and in a few minutes a
party had gathered around the place
and Andy Walmsly was lowered IN
to the well where he found the un-
fortunate man with his head down
and the water reaching to his hips.
A rope was fastened around him and
both men were drawn up. On reach

to be dead. DR.. Hazlett was imme-
