The Reno Gazette says

ne Reno GG-ettF say
For the third or fourth time
in the history of the Comstocb
buildings are being removed ano
hauled to and set up III new
mining camps. In 1863 num-
Der Of buildings were torn down
ami taken to Reese River (Aus-
| TIM In 1865 Meadow Lake
came in for a share of the Com
stock houses. In 1869 houses
were torn down and hauled from
Virginia to White Pine. This
! time the houses that are useless
on the COmstock are being
hauled to Hawthorne, the COM
ing metropolis on the line of the
Carson aud Colorado railroad.
The gloomy imaginings of a few
unsuccessful and dissatisfied
spectators will not annibilate
the wonderful lode whose out
put affected the commerce Of the
world. 1t will again show as
much life as it ever did, in spite
of those Who would be glad to
know that its bottom had
dropped out forever.
The APPEAL makes the as
sertion from pretty positive
knowledge that the old lode is
now doing incomparably better
than the public at large has any
idea of. There is a big output
of bullion going on even now,
steady productive yield which
keeps the mills hard at work.
The ledge is now being worked
on a new plan. The insiders |
are laying low, keeping every
thing depressed and levying as
sessments occa siOnally while on
the quiet they are taking out
tons and tons Of good milling |
rock which is alluded to by the
Comstock papers as "the usual
low grade rock" The ledge is
being worked this way from the
north end to the Cold Hill
group and it works well. On
this plan more money is now
being made by the insiders than
at any time in the past five
years. The public carry the
stock and pay the assessments
while the manipuIators handle
the bullion and make the out
5iders believe that the rock just
barely pays the expense of mill

The Denver Exposition

From a letter lately received
by E. T. George, Nevada's Com
missioner last year, from. +. H.
Wilson, Esq, Assistant Secre-
tary Of the National Mining and
Industrial Exposition, to be held
at Denver, Colorado, during the
months of July, August and
September, 1888, we clip the
following: "Amid all the en-
thusiasm awakened by the
announcement of the second Ex-
position to held in Denver in
1888, no word Of encourage
ment, no work OF preparation
comes from Nevada. Can it be
possible that her citizens are I'M
appreciative, and that the good
accomplished last year and the
recommendations Of eX-GOv-
erner Kinkead fall on needless
ears 1t is scarcely 10 be hoped
that the grandeur of the eX-
hibition made by New Mexco,
Arizona, Colorado and Utah will
pale before the collection of
Nevada's mineral exhibit this
year. I would not like to
answer The visitors attending
the session of the Grand Army
Of the Republic, the companions
of the General Grand Chapter of
Masons and the Sir Knights that
will visit the Exposition coming
from the Eastern States, that
Nevada, the queen Of the sill er
producing American States, was
conspicuous by her absence.
Ny letters to Governor Adams
fail to produce a reply, and l
a,n anxious for information,
that something is being done to
represent your State this year"

orally expected from Rice and

been grounded up" in this sec
ton for many year. OF course
the APPEAL is not speaking Of
the girls TO the manor born, but
the transient beauties who come
along now and then. OF Kate
Castleton great things were ex-
pected, and the audience was
not disappointed. She and John
A. Mackay are the life Of the

and SO are all the rest for that
matter, there being no sticks in
the combination. The song

ating to an audience. It will
be given with the full cast and

How She Was Dressed.

When people get married

know how the bride was dressed.

important point. The society

lows "The bride was dressed
in plum-colored velvet, with
orange trimmings and patural
flower ornaments. The bridal

Nothing New.

The Reno Journal publishes
what purports to be spiritual
communication from James w.
Nye in which he says:
AS a spirit, am sorry to say
the present state Of affairs in the
mortal life allows very little
chance for the success of an
honest man.
Now it will strike most people
that a spirit who has nothing
ffesher than the above to COM
municate it might just as we'll
put in his time at something
else beside slate writing.

Daniel NsarsnPgey.

The convict who escaped a
, few days ago from the State
Prison and was recaptured was
sentenced for the murder of q
man named Greene in Eureka
county in 1878. The Journal
says that Matheney aided by a
man named Finney Drained
Greene as he lay in his blankets,
and the two tied the body up in
the same blankets, carried it to
the hole and there deposited it,
covering it up with their hands
by raking in the soil which
| Matheney had before removed
by means of the shovel. This
done, they cut willows, and with
them constructed q dam across
the brook below the hole, and
backed the water entirely over
it, ef1ectualIy concealing it from
sight. After this the two drove
old man Greene's horses, those
that were unsold, into Eureka
and sold them at prices far less
than their real value, and with
the money were the fash pat
rons Of the hurdy houses which
then abouDded in that camp.
This prodigal expenditure of !
money and the non-appearance
of Greene aroused the suspicious
Of the people, and soon it be-
came too warm for Ma,hcney to
remain. Acting under the ad-
vice Of Finney, as he said, he
took two Of Greene's horses and
sloped in the direction Of Elko.
There, on a telegram, he was
and brought back
TO Eureka.
