Cold Just Ice.

Justice is cold-olooded female, but
she had TO take the bandage from one
OF her eyes yesterday morning and
peep at The thermometer The hall in
which the District Court is held is not
provided with a stove and the session
of yesterday morning presented rather
a strange appearance. 1T is expected
that attorneys will sit still and look
pleasant even when case is going
against them, but those in Court yester.
day morning could not stand the colt.
At first they put on their overcoals
and kept on with what, under other
circumstances, might have been called
heated argument. While speaking,
their violent gestuI es kept them warm,
but those who were not Immediately
engaged were Obliged TO walk the
room swinging heir hands after the
manner OF of school-boys at snow.
ball game. His Honor, Judge Murphy,
looked on with cold disdain, at first,
but finally concluded that it was not
beneath the dignity OF the Court to
indulge in little gentle exercise while
listening 10 tue oros and cons OF
opposing counsel. The senior
member of the finn Of Crocker, Curler
Il Bowler, while saving ibe air,
narrowly missed the head OF one of his
partners, who is not nearly so tall.
Deputy Sheriff Trent saw trouble
brewing in bis baphazard style OF
inducing circulation, and WHO'D Mr..
Crocker app cached Judge Stewart,
from Candelaria, he made an approx
mate estimate OF altitude and con.
cluded he had better inte, ;ere to pre-
vent breach Of the peace. Just then
Court adjourned to give the Sheriff
time TO get a stove, and his interference
was not needed, as everybody rushed
down stairs 20 warm themselves in the
Recorders Office.

A Wild Cat Prospect.

Last week prominent mining
operator discovered some very fine
ore in the possession of two young
nephews. He saw at once that it was
valuable and that it WAS nearly the
same as that taken from mine, he
controlled, which had been thoroughly
tested. Upon inqniring where they
had found it, he was told that il came
from mine they had up on the
mountain side. Considerably excited,
but conoealing his emotions, he said
he would go up and look at the ledge.
The boys readily agreed to show him
the way, and they started Immediately.
TIE prevent suspiscion he took along
shotgun as though going out to kill
wild cat or dove. A short climb
took them to the place where the boys
had been playing at mining, aud
where small hole had been dug in
the loose sand. They told the expert
that that was their mine, and he imme-
diately became suspicious of imposi.
ton, A series of judicious questions
revealed to him that he had been
deluded by two boys, and but for the
fact that his shotgun was breeeh-
loader, would probably have chas-
tised them with the ram.rod. Although
they could get no pay rock out of the
little prospect hole, they earnestly
insisted that they could show him
some more rock exactly like the piece
which he had, but it required cousid-
cradle persuasion TO induce them to
show him where it was. At last the
younger hoy confessed that there were
two sacks of the same rock lying near
the tent and that they intended TO use
them to start mine. Had the gentle
mans gun not been of fine workman
ship and very expensive, he would
doubtless at that moment have broken
it over the heads of the boys. for he
called to mind having had one or two
sacks left over after shipping large
quantity for a working test, and it
came over his mind like porphyry
horse in an ore stope that it was rock
| from these sacks which had so excited
his hopes and made him believe that
he was on the point Of discovering a
continuation of the big ledge.

Started Up.

The Standard Con. mill resumed
operations yesterday afternoon at four
o'clock, much TO the satisfaction of all
bands and the cook. The new engine,
which takes the place of the old one,
was built nj the Union Iron Works, in
San Francisco, aud is one of the best
oblainable. 1t is of about 170-horse
power and he cylinder is 20x36 inches.
The work of putting in this new piece
of machinery was under the snpervi-
sion of J. w. Goodman, an experienced
and well-iafol med lnacninist. 1t looks
now as though the old reliable Stand.
ard mill was in rood condition for u
long and prosperous run. While the
new engine was being put in place
the boilers were ovcrhauled and placed
in a condition for protracted season
of usefulness. 1t takes about seven
cords of wood each twenty.four hours
to keep up the fires in this twenty
stamp mill. Everything is now in
excellent order and the modest roar Of
the dropping stamps will make peas
ant music through the entire Winter.
Some people may prefer the deep, sad
murmuring of the rolling pillows of
the sea, or the soft. voluptuous music
of the waltz, hat for something sub.
stantial, give us the tinliun 4bulation
of the many stamps in aquartz MILL

Another Setback.

A fresh fountain somewhere In the
bowels of the earth broke loose about
half.past l2 o'clock yesterday morning
in the Eureka Con. new shaft and
caused the water to rise by afternoon
to seyenty.live feet above the bottom.
On Wednesday the sinking pump had
been lowered and all was working well,
the water in the shaft having been
lowered to a depth of twenty.nine feet.
Work has been stopped for the present,
and the pump will be taken to the sur.
face of the water to day and over.
hauled, when it will be started up
again, probably tonight. 1t il pre-.
sumed that a reservoir contiguous TO
the main water supply that has caused
SO much trouble was sucked into
and its volume added to the flood.
Had not this additional flood come in,
the shaft would have been dried to the
bottom in three or four days more. 1t
is evident that the last influx of water
is from source different from the
first, and that the two are not one con.
tinuous body. The water that came in
first was of a reddish color, and that
which came last is yellow. Mr.. Read
and all about the works are a little out
of humor that new trouble should
break in on their work Just when the
old trouble was about over, but they
are not AT all discouraged, as they re-
gard the last bother as less than the
first, and only Il temporary obstacle

The Winged Winds

The Washoe Zyphyr is lusty des.
cendant Of old Boreas, but it is feeble
and weak kneed blower if compared
with the Hawthorne Howler. The
Zephyr pufls and spurts around Vir-
ginia, occasionally dislocating the
joints Of stovepipe or persuading a
sign board to go on a spree, but it has
to do with loosely constructed tene.
ments. The Howler visits Hawthorne
and stays long enough to make itself
feel at home, unlike its near relative
of the Comstock, it does not come in
gusts, but settles down to steady work
and calls attention to its presence and
activity with persistency and force
which would make the fortune of any
merchant who would follow its ex-
ample in advertising his business.
The Howler makes room for itself
whenever it wishes to get into good
company, and generally brings along
a lot of friends in the shape of rocks,
sboe-makers hammers and blacksmith
anvils. Surging around the well.built
houses of Hawthorne it vents its rage,
at being unable to do any damage, in
roars which would make Its Washoe
kinsman dumb from envy, and seems
to say to the uneasy listeners Talk
about your cyclones, what would you
say to me if l should concentrate my
strength on narrow strip of country
and blow myself out Of breath all at
once."

DeSmet County Leader: Some strange
facts have come to light anent the pro.
ceedings of the late Dakota legislature.
The railroad companies opposed the cap.
ital bill with all their might for some.
time. All at once that opposition was
withdrawn, and everybody wondered
why. The persuasive force employed
has now come to light. 1t transplres
that bill was passed forever exempting
all railroad lands IN the territory from
taxation. 1t was signed by. the gov
ernor on the last day Of the ses-
sion. These isbbing schemes occu.
pied Ordway's attention SO much
that he had no time to attend to the
bill providing for constitutional con.
vention, as well as other important mat.
ters. The railroads, particularly the
Northern Pacific, owns vast domain
in Dakota, which, if taxed as they should
be, at . fair valuation, would yield 8
heavy revenue. greatly reducing the bur
den OF taxation among the people. This
additional load is now saddled upon the
citizens OF Dakota, and was done for the
sake OF the pirates Of the capital com
miaaion job. Now let every man b.
spotted who assisted in these villaiuies
Exempting railroads from taxation is
load that the jobben will find = heavy
