A Considerable Haul.

Constable McGovern yesterday arrested
on the charge Of vagrancy Frank o'Con-
ner, A. Casanchi, Ed. jacob, Charley
Bladgvest, Ed. Diamond and three others
whose names we we're unable TO get. They
were put In the cooler and will be tried
one at . time until the list Ia exhausted.
The first trial will occupy Justice Harmon
to-day. A vagrant, In the eye Of the law,
10 one who has no visible means Of sup
port, does nothing to earn q living and
does not exercise due diligence In procur-
Ing employment. The penalty 10 lmpris-
onment in the County Jail for not more
than 80 days. 1t looks like . good Job to
relieve the town Of such Q body OF non.
producers, and 1t 10 proper that the officers
should subject them to arrest and trial
under the charge Of vagrancy. Still IL 10
Questionable whether any real good will
come out Of the expense the county will be
pIus to In order to prosecute and imprison
them. Perhaps, however, they may be
induced to 90 to work or jump the coun.
try; II 30, SOC OF tuum.

SNmalhing New.

The Bodie Free Press man, having re-
Gently conclsved in San Francisco, returns
home and sends this news to Eureka:
The Superintendent Of Public Instruc-
ton OF Eureka has just decided that Chi.
nese children may attend the public
school Of that town. There are two young
Celestisls receiving instructions, and 1t ID
said they are learning quite rapidly. Al
first the white boys looked upon them
with considerable distrust, but the i'll.
feeling soon wore off and the 'little brown
scholars" are now shown marked respect.
When the teacher desires to correct n oil
the Orientalists she takes him by the
queue and hangs him up for 9 few minutes
on one OF the nails in the ante-room. But
this Is not often done, % the boys are
generally obedient.

THE

some Reasons why We should be
Rather Cheerful Than Despond.
emit.
There 10 considerable complaint about
dull times in Eureka. That dullness pre-.
walls there is no use to deny; but there
have been spells in this camp when much
less work was going on and still the town
seemed comparatively lively. We would
not be surprised il the general talk OF
"hard times" had scared a good many into
believing that the bottom has fallen
out Of the camp, and that they had better
cave what they can for q stake with which
to emigrate. There is actually nothing,
however. in the present condition of affairs
on the Base Range or In the future outlook
to warrant any growing or dependency.
Tit general prospect is fsttering. A
greater number Of mines is being worked
here than ever before. In many Of them
miners are making good profit, while it is
only reasonable to expect that when so
many mines are being developed . boz
nanza is likely to be encountered any day.
In fact. q very handsome find has recently
been uncovered in the Fair Play, Pinto
District, rich for the present and offering
indications Of q bonanza. There are other
similar instances. Our large mines, such
as the Richmond. Eureka Con. and Ber-
trand are looking fairly and are being
worked proftably, the latter especially
SO. More ore il being shipped in for
reduction from outside mines, we are told,
than ever before in the history Of the
camp. Four furnace are running night
and day. The removal Of the water from
the Eureka Con. will open a large and
rich field for prospecting, to say nothing
Of the ore which is known to be in the old
and new works below the present water
level. The water trouble will soon be a
thing Of the past. The Assessors books
show that a very large amount Of money
is being spent in the development Of
mines. That q good deal Of this disap-
pears in rat holes owing to the present
prevailing habit Of growing is not TO be
considered strange or singular. We be-
lieve, without going into details, that it
will appear evident to all thoughtful per-
Sons who reflect upon the situation that
there is no good cause for growing.

GOfug to Mine.

Charley Graham and H. d. Mckee have
leased for a year the Page Il Corwin mine,
which is located in Secret Canyon, east Of
the Geddes & Bertrand, and is separated
from this mine by a wide belt Of shale.
The Page & Corwin was located by men Of
these m They started work some
years ago on the surface n took out in 9
few months upwards Of 500, 600. The ore
found was exceedingly rich, some Of it
running as high as 81, 900 per ton.
The property has been lying idle for q
long time. 1t was temporarily abandoned
because the ground was considerably
broken up and the ledge lost. At present
the conditions are good for finding high
grade ore and plenty Of it. The mine has
never been worked deeper than rs feet on
an incline, from which developments were
made chiefly by pot holes and gopher"
diggings, no systematic work having been
attempted. There are claims near by the
Page Il Corwin from which very rich ore
has been taken in small quantities. 1t lies
in a section of country in which the pros
poets Of a good find are quite favorable.
Messrs. Graham and Mckee are both
miners OF an earlier day. We wish them Q
bonanza.

The Flatheads object.

For several years past different parties
have kept from 1000 to 5000 head Of cattle
on the Flathead Reservation. The Indian
chiefs consented to this, receiving an an.
nual rental Of some 81. 800 from the stock
owners. Recently some Of the chiefs
imagined, perhaps with cause, that they
were not receiving their just share of the
revenue, and 'kicked" against the whole
business. An order has now been received
from the Interior Department prohibiting
cattle men from keeping any stock on the
reservation, and II not compiled with,
steps will be taken to enforce the order.
The Indians have also taken . hand in the
ejectment proceedings by burning the
larger portion Of the stock ranges In the
reservation.

Finer Than the Finest FlOrentine
and Caracca Marbles.
Speaking Of the marble quarries Of
Spanish Fork Canyon, Utah, the Salt
Lake Tribune says: Some time ago the
parties who have filed claims to these val
liable quarries sent samples to New York
City for examination and to get the
opinion Of experts as to the quality.
The samples were sent TO one Of the
largest marble dealers in that city, in
fact the largest in the United States,
who not only deals in marbles Of Amer
lea, but is an extensive importer. The
opinion Of such a man should be
ample to establish the quality OF marble,
and hence the parties sending him Jam
Piles waited very anxiously for his report,
which came wv or three days ago, and
was not made until the marble sent him
had passed through all the various tests
employed to determine its value. After
speaking of the various marbles, giving
prices, etc., this man says Of the Utah
samples: 1T is finer than the finest Flor
entine and Caraccs marbles" The prices
given for imported marbles in New York,
and also Of some American marbles, are
such as will justify shipping from here.

Bodie Free Press: The first shooting
scrape in Sweetwater took place on Sum
day. The particulars are as follows: On
Sunday morning . man called One-eyed
Mclaughlin and Shorty Cosgrove got into
a quarrel over some trifing affair. The
two men were employed around Henry
Williams place-McLaughlin as q black
smith. AT II O'Clock the two men met at
Williams house, when Cosgrove drew his
gun and commenced firing. At the time
Mclaughlin was standing in q doorway
with n hand resting IN the casing. The
first ball struck him in the hand and the
second hit q rib and glanced around the
side of the body, embedding itself deep in
the flesh. The shock caused Mclaughlin
to drop, and he was conveyed to q bed.
Cosgrove Immediately mounted a horse
and started for the town OF Clinton.
Deputy Sheriff Moran started in pursuit,
and when about a mile out he came within
gunshot range of the fleeing Cosgrove.
Moran ordered him to halt, but he refused
to do 30. The Deputy Sheriff fred two
shots, but they did not induce Cosgrove to
stop. The third shot took effect, killing
the would-be slayer Of Mclaughlin. Cos
grove fell from his horse and died almost
instantly.
