ordeal that nearly every mining camp in
the State has undergone at some time in

the State Prison TO Reno, and no doubt
Mr.. Powning, who seems to have become
inflated with the idea that ne can move
anything, believes that he can easily ac-
complish the matter. 1t was Mr.. Pown-

Legislature to entertain his Asylum bill
after they had once killed it.
Eureka Sentinel: Last week two very
important strikes were made in the Dead
Broke mine on Prospect Mountain. On
the ll2-foot level they have three feet of
very rich ore, and in the tunnel, which is
in 60 feet, there is a large body Of

by cutting his throat with knife. DIR.
McMillin, Of Unionville, was called to

Virginia Enterprise: Dayton is now
beginning to feel that she cannot be CON-
pletely happy without the State Prison,
Mint and State house. Truly Carson
City is in the position of dog with big
bone. She must lie with her paws upon
her possessions and continually show her
teeth to all who look her way. 1t is
probable that Dayton would put on no
airs and make no demands but for the
fact that she is Seaport landing place
for the wood drives that float down the
Carson River. Carson City must shut
the mouth of Dayton by threatening to
dig a canal. and thus land all the wood
drives at the Capitol grounds under the
flag Of the Governor and the guns of the

Gently arrived from Hamilton we learn
that very important ore discovery has
been made in the west drift from the
Eberhardt tunnel. This ledge is said to
be four feet wide, giving assays all the
way from $50 to $500. Our informant
states that $3.50 would perhaps be fair

fact it appears that Capt brakes work
has penetrated to the base zone, which is
known to exist on the surface in the
neighborhood where the recent stsike was
made. The discovery at this place is for
tunate. as it will further stimulate the
company TO renewed exertions in their
prospecting which many think they were
on the point Of abandoning at the time
| the new find was encountered.
