called upon again yesterday by an APPEAL
reporter, and again questioned as to the cruel
fight. IL is understood that gentle breeze
rippled through the archives of the County
Court and climbed the spinal columns of the
magistrates yesterday because of the attor-
ney-generaIs attitude. Having placed the
general on the spit, the reporter toasted him
until he obtained the following result:

Thomas J. Tenant, Deputy Fish Com
missioner for Nevada, arrived on Sunday
nights train with his tin buckets and
boxes full OF little tshea, consisting OF
perch, catfish and white bass. From this
point Mr.. Tenant will distribute them,
and no yesterday sent a supply to Fish
Creek and Lincoln County by stage. Some
will also be sent to Newark Valley through
luther Clark, and Superintendent Robin
son has received 3 lot for the Albion tanks.
Whether any more will be placed in the
Eureka Con. pond or Richmond tanks we
did not learn. The catfish have already
attained II good size, some measuring al
least four inches, They were packed away
in grass, and had not been in water for slx
days, though at every stopping place the
boxes in which they were packed were care
fully sprinkled. In this way, Mr.. Tenant
claims, they will live for an indefinite
period, he having transported them alive
for 81 days himself. Those planted in
the Humboldt four years ago have pros
pered nicely, and Mr.. Tenant says some
have been taken from the stream that
weighed two pounds. They are an excel
lent food fish and almost az prolific as an
oyster. The perch and white bass are kept
constantly in water, and their bath is
changed at every station. They are deli
cate members Of the tnny tribe. and ra-
ouira constant and tender attention. 1t ia
to be regretted that there are no few water
| courses IN Nevada of sufficient sizs to
make the lahors Of the Fish Commission Of
greater benefit to the massea. But when
every little stream. lake and pond gets
fairly stocked once there will be here and
there a little sport for the angler and a lit
tie food for the market. The FISH Com
mission is one of the institutions OF the
State that should be libarally, hut not ex-
trayaeautly, fcstered.

The struggle between the elements for
the past few days was finally decided yes
terday morning in favor Of a small snow
storm, which was ushered in in a very
mild and quiet way. The atmosphere was
soft and warm, and the thermometer reg
iatered 46 at noon. 1t was a titful storm,
and although the fakes at times came
down thick and fast, there ia scarcely
enough of the pure white stuff on the
ground to hide its nakedness. There was
f. prospect Of more. however, last night.
The temperature ut 10 o'clock had fallen
TO 2 degrees below the freezing point, and
the sky was %overhung by a heavy mass Of
surcharged clouds. After seven weeks of
drouth and sunshine the change is wei
coined by every one except the teamsters.
though their business will not suffer by
yesterdays fall. 1t will produce a cold
spell and make skating possible, n subject
that is as prominent as the coming holi-
days with half of the population. Every
advantage will be taken by the Rink peo-
pie Of the temperature, and there may be
fun on the ice before the week rolls round.

THE EUREKA N
Il Glance at II Surface Improve
ments ami the Springs.


Things around the Eureka Tunnel havo
an air of prosperity that speaks well for
the management and the mine, The lodg-
lighthouses, clearinghouse, offices, engine
house, and outhouses are substantially
built and give the scene the appearance Of
a quiet little village. Altogether, includ-
ing three Cinnamon, who attend to the
boarding and lodging-houses, there are
thirty-five men employed about and in the
Tunnel, giving it, we believe, the fourth
largest force of any mine in the district,
the Eureka Con-, Richmond and Albion
taking precedence. The men are worked
on 10 hour shifts and everything is run
ming as smoothly and Systematically as
could be desired. The want of machinery
Is, of course, greatly felt, but we under
stand that it will soon be supplied, Gen.
Conner having visited the Comstock and
being now in San Francisco for that pur-
pose. Whatever ore is now being shipped
to The furnaces is raised to the tunnel
level by the old windlass method, a slow
and tedious way of working a mine nova
days-at least such a large property as the

header for the present, though the material
passed through when work was stopped is
OF a much more interesting character than
the preceding 200 feet. About 400 feet
from the breast of the tunnel a splendid
spring Of mineraliZed water was discovered
a few inches below the tunnel level. The
water is strongly impresnated with iron,
and bubbles up from a strong formation of
shale which stretches from $50 to 200 feet
on either side. The flow is very slight,
but a large wooden trough has been set in
the ground to catch it, and this is kept
full, but the water does not rise over the
top. An attempt was maize to increase the
How, in order to secure enough water at
the mine to run the engine with, but it was
like squeezing a lemon. The spring near
the mouth continues to furnish enough
water for cooking and drinking purposes;
and as it is clear, cool and sweet, the
miners in the Tunnel are more favored
than those working in the other mines in
the district. The ore bodies worked are
12O feet below the Tunnel level, and there
is no sign of water.

THE COB.
A Small Commit. &c Running the
Town of Eundy.

TOWn of Ltlndy.
At s O'Clock On Tuesday evening, says
the Bodie Free Press, three masked men
entered the saloon Of Jacob Murray in the
town of Lundy, and one of them drew
from his pocket a slip Of paper and handed
it to Charles Jardine, a ~well-known miner
OF that place. On the paper was written
a request that the recipient Immediately
leave the camp or suffer the consequences.
Jardine read the note, glanced around the
the room, n then made a break for the
back door, remarking as he wheeled that
he would see the masked men in hot water
before he would. Seated at a table in the
same room was Antoine Silver, an oid-timer
in these parts. He was handed o slip of
paper on which was a legend similar to
the one received by Jardine. Silver read
the lines, but did not seem to comprehend
their full meaning. Is he did not seem to
a disposition to change his location,
the three masked men took him in charge
and rushed him out into the darkness.
Silver was then told that he must hang
that he had committed several horrible
murders, and the night OF retribution bad
arrived. He was hurried to the lower end
VI 'o"h' rope was ProouIeo, ana IL "aa
soon around the neck of the Reconstruction
man. He begged for mercy. He had a
poor mother who would die Of a broken
heart if she heard of his inglorious death.
The masked committee listened to his Pc
titions for mercy, and told him his life
would be spared if he would leave the camp
in the morning. The three mysterious
men then disappeared as mysteriously as
they came, and their identity has not yet
been made known.
