The PoIaris strike.

1t is quite certain, says the Tuscarora
Times-Review, that the recent develop
ments in the Polaris mine at Columbia
lin the northeastern part Of Elko county
will give an impetus to mining operations
never heretofore experienced in that sec
ton. There are scores OF other lodges in
the immediate vicinity which prospect as
favorabiy on the surface, and which are
likely to prove IS valuable when devel-
oped to the same extent. If the reports of
the Polaris strike are correct, it is the
most extensive and important one ever
made in Eastern Nevada, and making
allowance for the enthusiasm of those who
have examined it. it is perfectly evident
that it is of sufficient Importance to justify
the prosecution Of more active and extern
sive operations than were ever before pro-
jected in the district. The following is
the result of seven assays made here from
ore from different portions of the ledge.
They were taken from various points in
the workings and from different classes OF
ore, with a view of obtaining reliable in
formation in regard to their respective
values. The following is the results; No.

The old soldiers living in Tuscarora

jail last February, were pursued out in the
neighborhood of Tuscarora in the early
part Of this week. They had run of with
a lot Of horses and cattle, but being

struck out to save themselves. The four
men who went after them are Deputy
Sheriff Tom Atwell, Adams, Mszingo and
Jewett. The Times Review Of Tuesday
says:
Jim Adams, Sam Mazingo and Mr..
Jewett returned yesterday afternoon from
the chase after the thieves that stole Ma
zingo's horses. They found the missing
horses near the head of Indian Greek on

It appears that the Jubilee Singers, or
some of them, are capable of two sorts OF
music, the legitimate and the kind sug
gested by the headline of this paragraph.
After the concert Tuesday night, the
pianist lay in wait inside the Jackson
Hotel door to meet one Of the female
singers who had given him offense. She
had complained of his being out OF time in
his accompaniment, loud enough to be
heard by the audience, and he wanted to
speak her q little piece from his heart. In
due time the chanteuse, the one that
dressed in a short dress, and sang the
medley in such a strong, silvery voice,
came in on the arm of the. shouting

as soon as the couple entered, turned him.
self loose and made more discords than he
had been guilty of in the Opera House.
He comforted the songstress n used ex-
ceedingly harsh terms of e~ndearment,
stating in wrathful tones that he had
known her in Chicago, etc. The shouter
interposed and threatened to kick the
stufing out of the sable pianist, where
upon the latter retorted: ''You come
down off dem steps, you black niggah. an
I'll cut youh throat frum year to yearl"
1t seemed for a while as though blood was
indispensable to wipe out the insults that
both Southern gentlemen had received;
but the shouter escorted his fair quadroon
partner to her chamber and then immedi-
ately sought his own couch to try and
sleep a while. The discordant pianist
crowed q while at the foot Of the stairs
and then hied himself to bed as well. And

Mr.. Emory A. Storrs was interviewed in
Washington on the 9Th instant regarding
Presidential possibilities, with the follow
ing result:
What are the indications regarding the
Presidential outlook 2''
"Can't say. The chances vary every few
moments, and nobody can form an intelli-
gent opinion just now. Indeed, it looks at
present like q regular go-as-you-please
match"
"How do the respective gentlemen stand
as regards strength?
arthur is stronger in Illinois tina is
generally imagined. Our delegates will
stick to Logan as long as there is a chance
for him, n failing will go to Arthur. 1t
is thought he can carry every Republican
State If q full vote is cast"
"What Of Lincoln !"
"If a boom once starts with him, moth
ing can stop its spreading, and he will
probably receive the nomination."
What are the chances Of nominating a
dark horse 2"
''It is possible that Hawley may receive
the nomination. He is o man of much
strength"
"And Fairchild of Wisconsin 2"
"No good. He is strong in Wisconsin,
but he Is a dark horse whose color is not
recognized. and he wouldn't be able to pull
q half-losded wheelbarrow. Edmunds is a
decided possibility"
"Do You regard the election Of o Repub-
lican candidate assured, regardless of who
the man may be ?"
"No, sir. There is q possibility Of
nominating a mar that would bring Q third
candidate in the field, and in that way the
Democrats might carry the election"
In the Presidential talk among Republi-
can members Of Congress at the capital the
lame Of Secretary Lincoln is frequently
mentioned as the probable nominee. The
theory Of those who anticipate Lincoln's
nomination Is that Arthur and Blaine will
kill each other off and that the antagonisms
created by the presence Of Edmunds and
Logan in the race will prevent any com
promise upon either of the two latter
"Lincoln," said a Western Republican
Senator, has been named as the choice
for first place Of many Of the delegates,
aud when the time comes for compromise
the tendency will be to Lincoln. I regard
his chances as decidedly the best"
