The Indian known as Railroad Jim, owing
to his always being on the train when the
cars are running, and who has taken unto
himself the name of Stoddard--that of
the engineer's-has drawn picture of the
locomotive, tender and caboose. The
drawing is l2x24 inches, and is an excel
lent picture, being colored The boiler,
smokestack and cowcatcher are painted
black, while the bands, whistle, valves,
etc., are yellow, initiating brass, and the
wheels are vermilion. Everything con
Meeting with an engine-sand- box, rods,
pipes, cocks, etc, are correctly drawn, and
it is a perfect fac simile of locomotive.
The tender is piled high with wood. and
on the side of the tender are painted the
letters -. S, the initials of Jim Stod-
dard. The caboose is colored dark red,
and Is perfect picture of the one on the
track. The train is represented as going
under full head way, a stream of sparks
flying out the smokestack, and Indian
Jim has placed himself standing in the
pilot of the locomotive looking out. Jim
drew the picture of the train at his wick
iup. from memory, and presented it to
his running pard, Engineer Samuel Stod-
dard Both the drawing and, coloring
displays taste and judgment.
THE men who relocated the old Bowery
claim are now engaged in extracting
some very good ore. Two weeks ago
they struck some very queer looking
copper-stained ore, which, upon being
tested, showed over $500 in silver. The
ore in the ledge. when first found, was
about three inches in width, but it grad
ually widened out as sinking was DONE
The ore will now measure five inches
broad, and the owners are Of the opinion
that it leads to deposit. There are
several OF these small copper-stained
seams in the Bowery where the men are
now working. which considerably ele-
Yates their great expectations.
The reason for the Mormons buying up
the ranches and taking up all the avail
able land in the lower part OF this county
is that they are posted as to the railroad
routes that are to be constructed for GER
tainty. Bishop Sharp. the manager of
the Utah Central. keeps the brethren
well posted on routes that the railroads
will take. thus giving the members of the
church an opportunity OF gathering up all
the good land. The day is not far distant
when the lower part of Lincoln county
will possess rapidly growing young city.
PATENT REcEIvED.-J. C. Lynch has
received U. S. patent to the Cottontail
claim, Jackrabbit District. This was
quick work. The publication of applica-
ton for patent ended in December. 1851.
1t takes longer than that to obtain pub
iication notices from the land office in
Eureka. AT least such has been the ex-
perience of people in this part of the
country.

borne. the efficient teacher of the Pri.
mary school in Phoebe for the past term,

Sol BRIsACHER does not like the res
taurant business in Salt Lake City. He
says big Mormon will come into the
place for ten-cent lunch, and will eat
more than dozen Nevadans. Sol likes
to run hashery in Nevada, where they
pay six-bits for five cents worth of grub
Sol always did want the best of the bar
gain.
