tering of the thigh bone of Hills right
leg. His attending physician, DIR Thoma,

An old-time resident of California who
has been giving some attention to the
Slickens proposition, now asitating the
ranchers in the valleys of that State, and
who returned to the Comstock last week,
says there is nothing in the howl sent up
by the ranchmen. His notion of the
whole business is that slickens are q
benefit to the land ON which they are
deposited. He says it amounts to about
the same thing as the overflow of the
Nile in Egypt. The only difference is
that in Egypt they accept the soil brought
down and deposited upon their land as
blessing, and at once plant crops upon
and reap the benefit of it, while the Cal.
ifornia ranchers at once give up the ship
and declare that the soil from the mount
aims ruins their farms.-[virginia Enter.
