The strike Iva the Bodie.

r. +. Pixley the well-known mining
expert, came down from Bodie last
Saturday evening to meet William
Sharon, jr., of Virginia City, who
came out to inspect the recent strike
in the Bodie mine. Asa large number
of the people of Hawthorne were
formerly residents of Bodie, and the
majority of them still havefaith in the
richness and extent of the ore belt in
that district, reporter of The
BULLETIN called upon Mr.. Pixley and
asked his opinion as the value of the
strike. The following interview was
the result of the visit:
Reporter-It has been said that the
Bodie deal is but repetition of the
Ophir contest for control.
Mr.. Pixley-There is nothing in it.
The Bodie deal is ON merit.
Reporter-What is the extent and
richness of the strike? d.
Mr.. Pixley-The vein is about six
feet in width, three feet of which is
almost fablously rich. l should think
that the six feet would mill about
$1,000 per ton. ......a
Reporter-Ho w does this strike com.
pare with former oness
Mr.. Pixley-I have seen all the
former lodges. was associated with
Lent in the first starting of the Bodie
mine. The present Development is as
| good, if not better, than the former
ones. The predominance OF silver
coming into the rock greatly improves
the prospective value of the strike.
Mr.. Pixley has some very fine speci-
mems of rock with him, some of them
being almost pure silver, while others
contain gold and silver in about equal
quantities.

BAKER PASHA'S DEFEAT.
The Egyptian Troops Utterly Worthless
A Bloody Fight.
CAIRO, Feb. 6.

CAIRO, Feb. 6.
The following particulars of the engage
meut in which the forces under Baker Pasha
were routed have been received here. Baker
was attacked on Monday morning by a small
diminishing party of Arabs, but before whom
his Egyptian cavalry ANONYMOUSLY fed.
Baker then hastily attempted to form his
infantry into large squares hanked by two
smaller squares of negroes. The enemy
meanwh lille had completely surrounded Baker
Pasha's position. At the first fierce attack
of the enemy the Egyptians became wild
with fright and casting away their arms ran
shouting upon the smaller squares, throwing
the whole command into confusion. The
European officers, enraged at the conduct of
the Egyptian soldiers, dashed into the midst
of the disorderly crowd and fired their pistols
right and left, endeavoring to drive the cow
ardly fellows back into position of defence
again but all their efforts to stay the fleeing
mass was unavaiing. Baker Pasha himself
was the most prominent figure on the field,
and exerted almost superhuman efforts to
rally his men to make a determined stand
and avert the disaster. He was often snr-
rounded by the enemy, but in spite of his
utter disregard for his own safety he escaped
unhurt. Col. Harrington and Major Giles
also acted most heroically, and it is largely

was able to bring the remnants of his force
through to Trinkitat in good order.
LArER-Later advices bring more and more
particulars ofthe DISASTROUS defeat of Baker
Pasha. The slaughter of his forces contin.
ued all the way back to Trinktat. The
Egyptians were panic stricken and fell upon
their knees, but their appeals for mercy were
fruitless. The Englishmen missing are Nor
rice Bryce, Surgeon Leslie, Capts. Forester
and Walker. and Lieuts. Carroll, Smith and
Watkins. Ten other foreign officers are
missing. The fugitives huddled together on
the shore at Trinkitst, and might have easily
been slaughtered but the enemy gave
over the pursuit. The safety of Capts. Barn.
ably, Harvey and Hay of Bakers staff is re-
ported. Dispatches state that the rebel force
WAS smaller than that of Baker Pasha, but
was composed of apparently fearless men.
and their leader was a most skilful soldier.
The rebel loss was very small. Gen. Cor
don will not learn of Bakers defeat until
he reaches Berber.
The enemy have surrounded and DESTROYED
Tewik Bey and four hundred of his follow
ers between Sinkst and the coast. The dis
aster was not unexpected for many weeks
Tewfk Bey has been maintaining an obsti-
nate resistance in Sinkat, closely beset on all
sides. Intense excitement prevails in Sua-
kim today. An attack of the enemy is ex-
pected. The forts are occupied by English
marines. The French agent has telegraphed
for msn-of-war.
