Esmeralda Items.

The following items Of interest are
from the Walker Lake Bulletin Of last
Wednesday:
The wife of one of the Oldest inhabi-
tants of Mason Valley presented her
lord with triplets recently.
An Indian shot another near indie
pendence last week and some white
people standing near were narrowly
missed.
1t is supposed that the next work
done in the Mount Cory will be to sink
a shaft. Good miners say the prospects
are very good.
Dennis Murrhy had his hearing last
Wednesday for the shooting of James
Carrigan, and was discharged from GUS
tody by Justice Holland.
The hum of the threshing machine is
again heard in Mason Valley. The
grain is good, but the area sown was
small, and, from present indications,
most of it will be needed for home con.
sumption.

Nevada is coming TO the front rapidly
as an agricultural State. II is but a
few years ago that no attention was
paid to this industry, because no one
thought Of anything but mining, Now
it has been demonstrated that our Stale
has the nnest soil and climate in the
world. All kinds Of gram, vegetables
and fruit can be raised, and the pro-
ductions are Of superior quality. 1t
has lately been discovered that cotton
can be raised in the State, and in Lin
coin county there is considerable of this
product grown. But now comes a new
idea. Il has been fouad that wild sugar
cane grows in abundance along the
banks Of the Carson river on The low
lands. This cane is quite different
from that grown in the Southern States,
and is used only by the Piutes. The
cane grows quite tall and has long mar.
NV iSaNcs uPOh NHiSu tue JUICE Hahbs
and dries in the sun. When the cane
is ripe the leaves are covered around
the edges with what looks like maple
sugar, but tastes like common Brown
sugar. At this time the Indians gather
it hy stripping the leaves into basket.
The sugar and leaves are shaken in the
basket until separated, and the leaves
are then blown away, leaving small
humps of sugar about the size of a split
pea. This is then pouned into pow.
der, and makes an excellent sweeten
ing. This is the Piute mode Of
manufac turing, but the cane put under
the same process as is used to make
sugar in the South could probably be
worked TO more advantage. II may not
be great while before some enIerpns.
ing man will start sugar plantation in
the State and cultivate tame cane,
which would without doubt thrive bet
ter than the wild sugar plant.

SILVER COIN.
The Government Refuses to Pay
for its Transportation to LO-
ealities Where it is Needed.

for it's transportation to LO-
ealities Where 1t is Needed.
The 7rmei. Rrvie70 says: "The Grand
Prize Company until the last month has
always procured from the Sub Treasury
at San Francisco 81, 900 in silver dollars
TO use in the payment Of their monthly
expenses. The transportation OF the
coin had up to that time been paid by
the Government, which could we'll at
ford the outlay, as its profit on coinage
of silver considerably exceeded the cost
of expressage. Upon application of the
secretary of the company last month;
however, he was informed that no more
silver coin could be procured upon those
terms, and he was consequently obliged
to get it from a bank and send it here
at the expense of the company. There
is no good reason why this discrimina.
lion should be made against silver coin.
The present Administration processes a
desire to promote the circulation OF that
kind Of currency, but its act in this re-
spect certainly does not verify its pro.
tession. While gold is coined at loss
10 the Government, it realizes a profit
on silver considerably in excess of the
cost Of transportation, and there is no
reason why portion OF that profit
should not be used in facilitating its
circulation. If the Administration is
sincere in its profession it will rescind
this most contradictory order"

A NEW INDUSTRY.
w. M. HavenOr Proposes to Fur
nish the Worlds Markets with
New Kind of Canned Food.

New Kind of Canned Food.
w. M. Havenor, Commissioner from
Nevada to the Worlds Exposition at
New Orleans, will shortly start a new
industry in Elko county. This enter
prise will be nothing more nor less than
the erection of canned meat factory at
the county seat of the above named
county. During Mr.. Havenor's stay in
New Orleans he became acquainted
with a chemist from Arkansas, who was
the inventor Of compound for the pres
ervation of all kinds of fruits and meats.
The compound was on exhibition at the
Exposition as were also several beef
quarters which had been subjected to a
solution of the compound some six years
ago and had hung in front Of butcher
shop ever since, and were still in a fine
state OF preservation. Mr.. Havenor be-
came deeply interested in the matter,
and has obtained permission from the
Arkansas gentleman to use the COM
pound in this State for the purpose of
introd acing it. He has made several
experiments which have proved very
satisfactory. In returning from the
East Mr.. II came over the Central Pa
cihc road, and while passing through
Elko county observed that there were
millions Of rabbits in that section; and
in conversation with resident stockman
OF that county who happened to be on
the train, learned that the rabbits were
actually running the stock off of the
ranges, and that it was almost an i'm.
possibility to keep enough feed for the
cattle; that men were finding ready en-
ployment at good wages to drive the
rabbits out Of the corrals and enclosed
lands, so that the cattle can get chance
to feed. An excellent idea entered Mr..
Havenor's head as he thought of his
preseryative compound, and arriving at
Elko he stopped and quietly made ar
engagements for the lease OF a large
tract Of fenced ground. The land is
fenced with wire fencing, and Mr.. H..
has invented a novel plan to catch the
animals in large quantities. He has
had built around the enclosure, al the
bottom of the fence, two rows Of wire
tunnels with the large end out, the
same as are used IN wire rat trap, o.
ly on a larger sale. These tunnels are
SO elise together that they will not ad-
nit Of a rabbit going between, and they
therefore try to jump through. Those
that 60 through are caught in the large
trap while those too large to ger through
stick in the hole because they conuot
back out on account Of the sharp points
on the wires. This is considered the
cheapest way to slaughter the animals
in large quantities. When caught and
killed they will be Immediately dressed
and taken TO the packing house, and
there, after being subjected to solution
Of the curative compound, packed in
cans that will hold the meat of one
rabbit. Mr.. Havenor thinks there is
"millions in it," and will lose no time
in making preparations for the erection
Of building TO be used as a cannery.
Another item is the hides of the ami.
mails which can be tanned and used for
many different purposes. The idea is a
FIRST rate one and Mr.. Havenor deserves
a great deal Of credit for undertaking
the enterprise.

Fragrant Linberger.

Judge d. o. Atkinson with several
others fiom the Comstock, visited our
little town last week to witness an in
itiation in the Odd Fellows Lodge.
After the initiation an adjournment was
had TO the Union Hotel where a lunch
had been prepared. This lunch had
been gotten up with special reference
to the Judges well-known tastes and
appetite, and consisted Of everything in
the market, including some of the most
fragrant inberger cheese ever placed
uuder the nose of Virginia City Post
master. The Judge not knowing any
thing about the linberger, placed his
cane as he supposed, in a safe place,
and deposited himself in chair at the
table with a grunt of satisfaction, re.
marking however, as he did SO, that
there "seemed to be an unpleasant odor
pervading the atmosphere" eyes"
said the Judge, "heretofore | have CIV
en- Charley Gruber credit for being a
model el-keeper, but begin to lose
confidence in him. This sewer gas is
simply frightful, I-er-faugh!--!"
This last remark was caused by Joe
Guggenheim, who, watching his chance
had put slice Of linberger on the
Judges plate, and the Judge installing
it for potato salad had placed it in his
mouth. The Judge made one mighty
effort, concentrating all his powers into
the single idea on which he had fixed
his soul, he planted two sardipes and
the piece of linberger squarely between
the eyes of Ben Wallace, who, unfortu-
nately, happened to be sitting immedi.
ately across the table in front of him.
At this point Ben's hllarity suddenly
ceased. He looked like man who had
just buried his last friend, and been at
tackled by the cholera. The lunch and
the limberger held no further charm for
him. His only desire in life was to get
rid of the nasty mess which had been
placed in such close proximity to his
nose, and to kill the Judge for putting
it there. Howls of laughter were
heard in every direction. Our young
friend Mack was caught with paroxysm
and came near being choked with a
piece Of ham which he had been trying
vainly to swallow. The Judge in the
meantime had "dropped to the little
game" and with the assistance of Char
ley Gruber soon extracted the sardine
bones from Ben's eyes, and placed him
in condition to enjoy life once more.
SNOW" said the Judge, taking up his
cane where he had carefully placed it.
II feel"-here he gently transferred
his finger from the cane to his we'll pol
ished nose, "I'll be tetotally-!
and ever.lastingly-!-!-!--!"
The cane had been polished, and the
Judge lifted up his voice, "Like one
lost in the wilderness" and called down
vengeance on the perpetrator of the
deed.

Rapidan Ore Pays.

The thirty-hev tons OF rock from the
Rapidan mine of Como that was worked
at the Rock Point mill last week, work

per ton. Work will be prosecuted at
the mine more vigorously than ever now

inch air pipe was sent up there yerterday.
The mine is opened by an incline,
which extends to the 1870 level, at which
point the ledge is forty or fifty feet wide
more or less; in fact, its real width has
not been ascertainei. 1t runs nearly

sons assembled or chat sacred day
and renewed their solemn pledges
of fidelity to one another, and
exercised themselves in all the
kindly relations of life. Then here
let us renew those sacred pledges
that we have made in the name of a
kind humanity. Remember that
while we repeat, the tender offices to
be performed by US, to visit the sick,
relieve the distressed and educate
the orphan, we do it standing
among the graves of those brethren
who have left us those identical
charges. Then let us enliven in our
hearts those kindly sentiments of
humanity that give us the warm
assurance that our orphan children
will not in turn suffer; that our
survivors will not see them on the
mountain of sorrow, robbed either
of their good name, or food or
clothing, while the cold priest with
his warm robes drawn around him,
passes by on Que side, and the
Levite on the other, with cold, un-
plying eye, without our seeing to
it that the good Samaritan pours
healing balm into the wounds of the
sufferer, throws his mantle over him
to shield him from the mountain
wind and takes him to our home,
our hall, our hearts and into the
warmest humanities that we can
cultivate. Let us endeavor to SC
train the better aud nobler traits
and suppress the vicious that wher
we step down just one step to oul
brethren, we may be able to reach
the broken link to the endless
chain to be there reunited forever
and welded with that perfect love
which we on earth can only initiate
and so live that when we come in here
to finally be retired with our silent
brethren, eve may lie down like one
who draws the drapery of his coucf
about him and lies down to pleasant
dreams"
At the conclusion Of Bro. Dale,
remarks, the brethren proceeded t.
the graves of their deceased brothers
and deposited thereon a sprig Of
evergreen, the Past Grands placing
upon each grave beautiful wreatl
and bouquet. During this ceremony
a select choir rendered most appro
/ pirate music. These exercises being
concluded the bencdlction was pro
nounced by the Rev. w. I. Todd
and the brethren marched back tC
their hall and dispersed. The Who'll,
occasion was one of deep solemnity
and must prove a memorable one ii
the history of the craft.
