Another Freak Of Nature.

A good many people did not believe
that mare mule down at Curtis
Switch foaled, but it was solemn
fact and the colt died from starvation,
because its mother was unable to nurse
it, At the risk of losing our well-tried
reputation for veraciiy, we now call
attention to another freak of nature
Two days ago colt of the female
persuasion was born on W. d. Jones
ranch, Reese River. Imagine Mr.. J. s
surprise to find that the little two day
older was well supplied with milk,
being equal to her mother in the food
nature provides for the young. The
colt is like other colts in other re-
spects.- Repette.
The last story is probably true.
Some years ago mare colt, similarly
endowed, was foaled ON Whisky Flat
The mother dying soon afterwards, the
colt learned to feed upon its own milk
and became very valuable animal
for use in n country where feed was
scarce. Unfortunately it took a notion
to wean itself at the age of five years,
and after that it had to be supplied
with feed and lost its value as desert
traveller.

Mono Lake to work the low grade ores

Death of NJ. BarroSva.

The Grantsviile bonanza says: NJ.
Barrows died at his residence, on the
third of July, from the effect of poison
taken accidentally. He used rough on
rats by mistake for yeast powder in
making bread for breakfast. After
eating of this bread he went into the
mountains to hunt his horses, was
taken sick, but managed to get back to
his residence. About four O'Clock it
became known TO his neighbors that
something was wrong with him, and
it was soon apparent that he was
poisoned. Every effort to relieve him
went to naught and he passed to the
great beyond about 0 O'Clock p. NJ.
Deceased was member Of the Grants
vile Miners Union. He was a native
of Maine and aged thirty-eight years
He was buried on Friday Afternoon,
and leaves a wife to mourn his IN
timely death.

-THE"poURrn.-
Games, Races Ete.-A Good Time


The Fourth of July was a successful
Fourth, The weather was just right,
and nothing was wanting to make
everything pleasant. A distinguishing
feature was the absence of noise.
While all enjoyed themselves to their
utmost, including, of course, the usual
amount of patriotic beverages, there
was not the average amount of drunk
enness. Another great improvement
on all previous anniversaries was the
freedom from the pest of tirc.crackers
and Chinese bombs. A few, of course,
were heard, but the disagreeable
racket was missing, and the merchants
received silent vote of thanks from
the citizens for not providing the
, destroying Chinese fire orks for the
amusement of the children and the
annoyance aud tribulation of property
owners. Daybreak was announced to
the expectant people by the usual
salute. Any person would have known
that day was breaking by the light
which always comes at about that
time, but it was much more satisfac-
tory to the enthusiastic citizens to be
informed Officially lof the fact, espe
cially as the committee had arranged
that the firing should be done at a
sufficient distance from dwellings to
prevent sleepy occupants receiving too
much notification in the shape of jar
ring windows and rafting dishes,
the usual accomplishments of too near
explosions of giant powder.
THE BASE. BALL GAME.
The match game of baseball for a
purse of $50, between the Candelaria
club and the first nine of the Rcso
lutes, of Hawthorne, was the first
thing on the programme and attracted
a large audience, the plaza, outside of
the ropes, and the surrounding plat
forms and pazzas being crowded with
spectators. The visiting club was met
at the depot by the Resolutes and
escorted to the Silver House. After
the necessary: changes IN attire bad
been made J. 2. Meder, of Candelaria,
was chosen umpire and the game was
called at 9 80 A. M, The time of the
game WAS only one and one.half hours
and it was one of the very best ever
played ia tile State. The result was
unexpected, and, Of course, was a
great disappointment to our boys; but
the best of coed feeling prevailed and
every one of the Resoluies is loud in
praise of the general good qualities of
the Candcaria boys. The decisions
Of the umpire gave universal satisfac-
ton, and the current remark was to
the effect that no squarer umpire could
have been chosen. AS will be seen Ivy
the appended score, the Resolutes lost
the game by poor fielding in the first
innings:
