1t requires men who do not wilt be

the sun, rain and rough fare, and
work fifteen hours a day; who out
walk a horse without dc lar in their
purses TOR twelve nspnths every year
What a charm there is in this free
lite under the all embracing kindly
sky of the mountains No care of
church, State or household. Al the
world ahead, no property or money
to bother about, with every thing to
hope and little to lose. No spike
tailed coat to be crushed, white shirt
to be "biled," fine boots to be shined
or duties to society to be performed.
No call to assist the Great Ruler in
regulating and running the universe.
None or few Of the petty things, in
short, that fret the life away after it
has settled into its rut. The West
is full of men who put in their young
years in the happy 90 lucky style of
the "prospector," and half their re
greet for the loss OF their first youth
comes from the fact that they must

the flames. MIR. McDougail is a

The County Ratio.

The Bulletin repuTtS that Assessor
HInds of Esmera d has finished The
work Of segregating the assessment
roll of 1882, as ordered by The curt,
for the purpose of determining the
amount of Indebtedness of this
county which Lyon county must
assume. The totai assessment Of
1882 was 81, 44l $4,000. The amount
OF assessment on properly which was
set off into Lyon county last Winter
was 3263, 27l. Lyon county under
the provisions OF the segregation bill,
is to assume a part Of the Esmera da
debt in proportion to he pr perry re.
ceIved, and the District Judge is to
determine the smount. This in-
debteduess so divided will probably
be decided to be the amount owing
by Esmelalda county on March LIST,
the day the bill VAS passed. AS this
date Is not at the cid OF quarter,
when the books are closed and the
balances struck IF, The exact figures
do not show, but the total indebted
Ness on April LIST was $62,Ul4.79.
| his sum includes the additional
debt and interest of one month, but
II om IL an approximate estimate Can
he made which will give a lear idea
as to the amount to be apportioned
to the two counties Leaving out
the cents in the calcul alton, if the
Indebtedness OF April LIST were the
basis, the portion TO be assumed by
Lyon county would be 81 1874. This
is but lrife greater than the sum
will actually be if the date of settle
ment is taken at The LIST day of Marcn.

HAYDEN HILL.


Further Developments Justify
Former Reports.
Below vii beseen something more
II the ecent strike at Hayden Hill,
in Modoc county, Cal. The Adm
argus says: Messrs. Frank, Lacert
and Burgett, who worked the SHAY.
den Gouge," have been troubled for
air in their main tunnel. To supply
this requisite they commenced sink
ing a shaft to intersect the tunnel.
l here was no expectation Of striking
pay dirt IN this shaft, but on Monday
last the dirt thrown out Looked so
encouraging that horn full was
washed out. The reader must guess
the happy surprise Of the miners
when they discovered that dirt that
they WIRE throwing away was worth
from one to five thousand dollars q
ton. Pay dirt commences at depth
of 80 fee the vein is IN feet wide.
Many claims have been from time
to time taken ON the flat south Of
the Hin. but moth ing Of value has
ever been discovered there previous
to last Thursday. On that day Dris-
coil and Slearns ST. uck IA inch vein
If ole which prnspected from $50 to
$SU. ,nthe ftiiowIDg saturday they
uncovered ore which com petent
judges say will pay at least $3.50 per
ton. After this last strike business
began to get tropical at Hayden Hill.
! he Recorder was kept busy night
and day. On last Monday night
claimants with lanterns were stalking
off claims during the entire night,
and what adds fuel to the flame of
excitement is the fact that two Of
these late claimants, 81 vers and
Dunn have struck 500 dirt at a depth
of only three feet tom the surface.
The present indications are that this
fiat may prove even richer than the
main hlll-a veritable "field of the
cloth OF gold"
In many of the claims miners
have quit work for wages, preferrin Z
to prospect tor themselves. 1t is
heard that the miners in the Juniper
claim are taking out dirt that runs
as high AS $40 and $l4 pound.
