Miss Zabriskie, of Silver City was
found drowned in a reservoir just
above the Trench mill on yesterday
morning. The discovery ofthe body
was made by Chinaman yesterday
morning while in the act Of lifting
the gates to let the water off. The
supposition is that the woman COM
mitted suicide although it is possible
that she might have fallen into the
reservoir by accident, and drowned
before help could be rendered. She
has been for some years subject to
hts of insanity, and it is said by some
that while In one of these freaks she
often wandered through the streets
half the night. The deceased was a
daughter of DR.. Zabriskie, of Silver
City, who at one time was one of the
leading physicians of Lyon county,
and was about forty years of age.
The funeral will take place this af.
ternoon.

EsmeraIda County Items.

The following items of interest are
taken from the Walker Lake BuUe.
tin of last Wednesday:
A telephone line has been put up
between Bishop Creek station and
the town. 1t is private enterprise.
The inhabitants Of the coast OF
Walker Lake will probably soon ex
perience the delightful weather
known as Pluto Summer.
The Owens River Company is run
ming a new tunnel on the old Monte
yuma property. 1t is lower than the
old workings and the prospects are
very favorable.
Work will soon be resumed on the
Sacramento mine, about eight miles
north of Bishop Greek. The mill
owned by the Sacramento Company
has been refitted and will be started
up in a short time.
The stage route from Independence
to lIawley has been abandoned, and
new line started by the same COM
pany from Hawley to Darwin.
1t is stated, on pretty good author
ity, that the troubles of the Big In
dian Company are to be settled, and
that some gentlemen of means are
prepared to take possession Of the
mine, assume the debts and begiu
work as soon as the necessary pre-
liminaries are finished. The Indian
Is one of the best claims in the dis.
trict. 1t is spoken of by all experts
as a good property, and as soon as
the difficulties which arose from the
early mistakes III management are
arranged, ii will certainly become
one of the most profitable mines in
this part of the country.

Tho gentlemen who we're up from
San Francisco last week to take a
look at some prospects in Como, re-
port themselves satisfied that the
mineral is there to make a camp.
They have had faith enough in the
place to expend about $40, 900 there
during the past sixteen months, and
are going to put up more. Affairs
at the Como Eureka are somewhat
mixed at present, but the general
belief is that all will end well.
There is a rumor current that the
Bonanza Company are going to move
the Omega mill, in Six Mile Canyon
down to the Ophir fiat above the
Douglass Mill.

Lait Tuesday night about 11:S0
o'clock fracas occurred inH ennesy's
saloon on South G. street in Virgins
City, which resulted in the death of
Owen Flannery, young man we'll
known on the Comstock. Itappears
that young Flannery had gone into
the saloon and was talking with the
bar keeper, when two men named
Delury and Slavery came in and en-
tered into conversation with Flan-
merry. The result was. q quarrel
between the three men, in which
Slavery drew a dirk knife and stab
bed Flannery in the stomach. DIR.
Harris was summoned and the
wound was dressed and Flannery
taken to the house of his brother on
the Divide, where he expired at 9
O'Clock the next morning. There
are many conflicting stories regard
Ing the affair, one is that the two
men had quarreled some weeks be.
fore and that Slavery was bent on re-
newing the trouble. The deceased
was very popular young man and
was native of Maine. Slavery and
Delury were arrested and locked up,
the former drawing knife on the
officer while resisting arrest. The
funeral of the deceased took place

The X. Of p. Hall.

On Friday evening last the Knights
of Pythias of Lyon Lodge No. IL,
gave grand uniform ball at odeon
Hall, the occasion being the cele-
bration of their third anniversary.
The hall was very Hastily decorated,
pictures, mirrors, flags and banners
ornamenting the walls and plants of
every description standing in the
windows and other out of the way
places. A collection of sweet voiced
birds also hung in cages around the
room, and altogether the scene would
lead you to imagine that you were
in an enchanted palace. About 8
o'clock the pleasure seekers began
to arrive, and it was not long ere
the house was filled. The Grand
March was one of the best features
of the entertainment and was heart
lily enjoyed by all who were present
in time to witness it. After this
dancing began, and the merry
throng kept things lively until it
was time to adjourn to the hotel for
supper. The supper well, what
can be said about 1t? Every one knows
| that Charlie Gruber never does any,
thing by halves, aud it will therefore
probably be sufficient to say that
it was delicious. After having par
taken sufficiently of the toothsome
viands the merry jewellers returned
to the hall and for several hours
longer INDUCED in threading
the maZy"-in TACT it was very
close to the break of day when the
party broke up. Great preparations
had been made by the knights to
have this entertainment excel in
splendor all other occasions, and
they succeeded very we'll in doing
so, Invitation committees were ap.
pointed in every town in this part of
the State, and as a consequence a
large number Of people from Vir-
GINA, Carson, Reno, Gold Hill, Sill
yer City, Sutro, and elsewhere, were
in attendance. The music, which
was furnished by Zimmer's band
was excellent and equal to any to be
procured in the State. The commit.
tees were we'll appointed and every
thing passed of as smoothly as
clockwork. The event will long be
remembered by all who attended as
the most brilliant affair that has
taken place in Dayton for a number
of years. 1t is to be hoped that Ly-
on Lodge No. II, X. of P. will year
by year show an increase of men,
bers and tendency towards future
prosperity.

There is considerable water com.
ing down Gold Canyon now.
The Piutes are doing good bust
ness chopping wood around town.
Quite a number of Daytonites at
tended the Mason Valley Fair this
week.
Judge M. A. Murphy, our efficient
District Judge, was in town for a
short time yesterday.
Harmony Lodge, Rebecca degree,
will give grand ball in Dayton
about the last of next month.
The wheel for Stevenson's mill ar
rived this week, and it will be but a
short time before the mill will start
up.
Those who are lovers of horses
should not forget to attend the races
at Reno from the 22d to the 9th of
this month.
j. A. Bonham and wife left for
San Francisco on THU sday morning,
j. A. goes on business and Mrs. B.
fo- pleasure.
The skating season will soon be
here. Even now the boys are get.
ting out their skates and putting
them in order.
The Bonanza Company No. 2have
their mill nearly finished on the
Chinese ditch, and will soon resume
operations again.
Many are now scouting around to
see who raised turkeys this Summer.
Those who did had better keep a
watchful eye on them until the holi.
days are over.
The water in the river is gradually
raising, but unless it comes down a
little faster not much work will be
done by the mills before ice will be
bothering them.
In the list of officers elected by
the Grand Lodge of Good Templars,
last week, the name of Mrs. NJ. B.
Bonhsm, who WAS elected g. w. T.,
was by an oversight left out.
Mrs. F. S. Bosworth, sister in law
OF G. c. Fish of this place, who re.
ceived serious injuries in the ship
wreck near Astoria some weeks ago,
Is improving and will recover.
T. II. Burns and wife came down
from Como on Monday. Mrs. B.
left on Tuesday morning for Califcr-
mia, Mr.. B. going as far as Reno to
see her safely started on her trip.
The Mason Valley Fair proved a
grand success. There were a great
many people in attendance, and
they were we'll paid for their time
and money. More in regard to this
next week.
The Truckee Republican reports
that Frank Milbourn had his arm
nearly cut off IN saw mill at that
place on the 18th. 1t is doubtful If
his arm can be saved. Mlburn was
quit we'll known in Dayton.
G. C. Fish, section boss on the c.
& G., reports that some petty larceny
thief stole the stove from the water
tank house at section No. 2. 1t
would be u good idea for the COM
pany to put a Waterman out there
or some one will steal the tank.
A brakeman on the c. Il c., by
the name of C.. Gavin, fell from the
top of a car last Saturday, as the
train was entering Dayton, and re-
ceived q severe cut on the forehead.
The wound was dressed and he re-
turned to his home in Virginia the

There was an articlelin the Enter
prise this week in regard to Como,

nor Is the mill running. How far
they are down, how much the ore
assays and when tie mill Will be
running we do not know.
