A strong fight will be made TO SO consti-
tute the Board as to locate the building on
Mr.. KIein's property, or else on the Opera
House block.
The likelihood is that the whole idea OF a
Commission will prove explosive instead OF
harmonious in results. Further develop
ments will be awaited with interest.

SENATOR FAIR HONORED.
He In Serenaded and Welcomed by
the People OF the C0mstock.


Senator Fair arrived in Virginia City
Wednesday, and in the evening he was SER
ensded at the international Hotel. He APP
pesred upon the balcony and made a brief,
but feeling speech. He said he would
touch upon no political matters. In again
returning 10 the Comstock. his heart was
too full to think Of anything but old time
friendship. What he had to say was as one
neighbor to another after a long separs-
ton. He did not address those before him
either as Democrats or as Republicans, but
a. old-time friends. He said that the very
hills gave him heart, and the air he
breathed made him happy. He wished the
people prosperity and long life, and inci-
denially said he hoped he had done them
no harm in Washington, where his whole
study had been to do them good. The
Senator's speech was frequently interrupted
by the clapping OF hands and cheers. He
was followed by NJ. N. Stone. d. E. Nc
earthly and r. p. Heating. After the ser.
enade the Senator's rooms were thrown
open and everybody was invited TO partake
Of champagne and cigars, when a good time
was had. There were several hundred

A New Jewish Mission.

OF late an unusual amount of attention
has been called to the condition of the
Jews in Morocco. In that part of the
world the Jewish settlements are old,
some of them going back to q very early
period; but their condition Is very de-
graded. 1t is only recently that the Brit
ish Government interfered to secure them
common justice at the hands Of the Moor
ish rulers. 1t appears that the English
Presbyterian Church has been moved to
sympathy for them in their wretched state,
and that ii is proposed to establish q mis-
sion among them. Christian missions
have not been successful among the Jews
anywhere, but they have nevertheless
placed the Hebrew race under q heavy
debt of obligation. In how many in
stances in later times have the Christians
come to them as friends and benefactorsl

A CHASTITY Joke.

A joke of a rather CHASTITY character
was yesterday played upon 3 prominent
official Of this county and a friend. Al
about 9 o'clock in the morning he found
lying on the desk in his office a note ad-
dressed to him, on the corner of which was
the inscriptions: Personal and In great
haste" Opening the note he read as fol-
lows: "By going to the small cabin on
Ruby Avenue. a few doors above Mrs.
De house, you will find q dead man. E"
The official showed the note to q habitue OF
the Courthouse, and the two, after ex-
changing remarks about probable foul
play, at once started for the scene of the
dead individual. Knowing the occupants
Of many Of the houses and cabins in the
vicinity named, they were not long in find
ing the one referred to in the note, and
after entering they saw q well-known
character stretched out ON a plank dead
drunk. The two individuals are mum; it
was not from them that we gained the
foregoing information.

entity.
The recent discovery Of pay grit in the
State Prison quarry at Carson is, accord
ing to the Appeal, creating great excite
ment in that community. Quite a number
OF private and public buildings there are
constructed of this auriferous rock, and all
q Carsonite has to do nowadays in order to
get q nights lodging or a square meal in
that town is to yield up a %four-ounce piece
OF the quarry rock, and whenever it is
known that he has q ton or two Of 1t stored
away In q back yard or cellar, his inan-
clal reputation is forever established.
From assays made last Wednesday Of spe-
cimens Clipped off some ten buildings, in
which this stone forms q constituent part,
an estimate of the value OF the stone alone
was made, and, according to published
statements of the Appeal, it foots NJ q total
OF S9S ,423, 533 %. Sam Davis, the jour
nalistic prodigy of Nevada, is happy, mas
much as he has located the northeast COR
ner OF the Capitol structure, and if Dame
humor is correct in her statement, he
will shortly confer with President Cleve-
land concerning the paying off OF the ma
tional debt. The tow Of Reno is green
with envy and jealousy, but residents in
other parts of the State, and especially the
newspaper fraternity, are to be congratu-

The Mare Mission.

One Of the recent acquisitions of the
French in the Pacific is the island Of Mare.
Il was the seat of a iourishing Protestant
mission, and the native converts were
numerous. French soldiers and French
officials nave naturally enough been fol
lowed by French priests; and as an almost
inevitable consequence the mission, the
missionaries and the native converts have
suffered. One pastor was imprisoned fol
teaching a Sunday school, and the cards
containing the alphabet were torn to
pieces and burned by the soldiers. Sew
eral of the native teachers have been ban
ished on trihing pretexts to the Isle OF
Pines. Such exhibitions are not whole

An Idea Of the Properties Of Bernfce
and Cottonwood.

telO
E. @. Asher, Of Lovelock, tells the Silver
State that while at Bernice Superintendent
Williams showed him around through his
mine and, so far as he is capable of judg-
ing, 1t is in excellent order. In the new
stope the ore, without sorting, mills on an
average 500 per ton, and there is enough
OF 1t in sight to run the mill six months.
A winze is being sunk from the tunnel in
which the ore is Of the same character as
in the stope. Work has been commenced
on q new tunnel, 100 feet below the present
working tunnel, TO tap the ledge. This
tunnel will be about 600 feet long, and 1t
will open up about $3.50, 900 worth of ore.
AT present there are some forty men at
work in the mine. some OF whom are ex-
tracing ore and others are prospecting
ahead. The mill is running steadily and
works about eight tons a day with five
stamps. Another shipment of about
$4,000 in bullion will be made this
month.
At Cottonwood Canyon the nickel mines
are looking s~plendidly. There are two
mines being worked. One is owned by
the Nevada Nickel Company and the other
by George Lovelock, and both are produc-
ing rich ore.

pERGYvIILE, MD., Dec. 13.-Conductor
Miller of the Philadelphia, Wilmington and
Baltimore railroad, was approached ut Per-
ryyille by plausible stranger, who repre-
sentod himself as a railroad man out of en-
ployment, exhibiting at the same time SOW
eral passes over Western roads. He had NO
money, but carried gold stem winding
hunting-case watch, which he said he would
not sell, but If Conductor Miller would all
vance him Hl5 on it he would gladly redeem
1t by tho repayment of 1915 as soon as
he reached his home or secured employ
ment. Conductor Miller took the man
TO Wilmington and had the watch tested by
II jeweler, who pronounced it gold and
worth at lenst $50. The SIS was given to
the stranger, watch handed over and the
man disappeared. When Conductor Miller
reached home he examined the time piece
he had received and found IL WIS brass
key-winder, similar in general appearance
to the watch first shown him, but of little
or no value, which had been substituted by
tho sharper for the one tested by the
| ieWeler
