Arm Dfsi6cateid.

John curran and BIZ Dodge had an
alteration last Thursday morning in
the clearinghouse Of the Douglass
mill, and after some hard words had
passed between the two men Curran
became exasperated and raised chair
to strike Dodge. The chair was raised
SO suddenly and with such force that
Curran threw his own arm out of joint
at the shoulder. DR.. Hazlett attended
to the injury, which is quite painful
one, and he states that it will be some
weeks before Mr.. C will be able to use
his arm.

Breeding Age for Heifers.

"Stay little, that you may reach
the end the sooner" is an old remark
we'll worthy of practice by the intense,
impatient American. Nature will not
be crowded beyond certain limits, which
she chooses for herself, and she com.
pels us to assiduously wait upon her If
we would reap good fortune. In moth.
ing do we see this SO plainly as in breed
ing at too early period. We must
have patience to wait until the heifer
has built up her own frame and consti-
tuition before we can reasonably call
upon her to build up that of another
animal Of her own.
A. B. Allen, in an article to the Ma
Honal Li0e- Stock Journal says: tWith
the smaller breeds of cows, like. the
Jerseys and the intermediate Guernsey,
Ayrshire, and Devon, to have them
served at fifteen months of age, to calvs
at wenty-four months, may not be too
early; but for the larger breeds, like
the Shorthorn and Hereford, the old
breeders of these, as a general rule,
did not permit them to give birth to
their first calf until three years old"
To the young breeder especially, pru.
dence in this matter is difficult to prac-
tice, but il we will take time to consid-
er how much the future excellence of
his herd depends upon the continuance
of the females as reliable breeders and
vigorous mothers, and upon the good
constitution of their offspring, he will
quickly realize the importance of curb
ing his impotence and making haste
slowly.
The value of a good female is so
greatly increased by her continued use
fulness as breeder that there ought to
be but little question about the good
sense of allowing her to become suffic-
iently matured before throwing upon
her the burden of maternity. 1t is
simply choosing between the alterna-
tive of saving six or nine months time
at the beginning of the animals career,
or obtaining two or three more calves
at the end, not to mention the difference
between the calves in the matter of
yigor and constitution.

This ditch when completed will be
about eight miles long and will make

An order was made some time ago by

Two tickets were in the field last Sat

the old ticket Of Scott, Bonham and
Likens, and the Other had the name Of
Thomas Flaws in place Of that Of Geo.
Llkens. Seventy.three votes were poll
ed, and the Flaws ticket was elected by
large majority. If this new school
law is constitutional, which is very
doubtful, James Scott will be the three.
year term trustee, A. Bonham the
two year term trustee, and Thos. Flaws
the ne-year term trustee. 1t is our
opinion, however, that the law is un.
constitutional from the fact that the
Legislature is not vested with the pow.
er 10 legislate a man out Office. Again
the Act makes no provision for the reg

Coach pitched.

Last Wednesday evening, after the
c. & c. train from the south reached
the Mound House, the hind coach was
uncoupled from the train, and owing to
the brake not being properly set, she
started down the grade toward Dayton.
Several persons saw the car start but
were not in time to each it. Upon
reaching curve just opposite the ltal-
ian ranch about two miles above this
place, the coach had attained such
speed that it jumped the track. 1t
maM clean jump of over sixty feei
through the air, and landing at the bot
tom Of the grade on its side jumped up
on its trucks again. 1t is very badly
damaged piece of furniture, and it will
take as much to FIX it as it would TO
beild new car. The wrecking train
and crew came in from Hawthorne the
next morning about s O'Clock. and at
) CLOCK IN inc AFTERNOON the car was
on the track and was taken to the
Mound House. Conductor Brown, from
whose train the car got away, followed
the car down the night it escaped, and
as it was dark he probably did not see
how badly it was damaged. At any
rate told Yerington that the car was
"slightly scratched" Yerington when
he saw the wreck the next morning re-
marked that the coach did seem to be a
little bruised, and also observed that
the stove, which was in the center of
the debris, was little out of place.
The switch which was built TO pull the
car out will be known as ''Buck No
lands Switch" from the fact that this
gentleman takes upon himself the cred
it of having performed the greatest part
of the labor in its construction.

Newspapers OF To-Day.

People generally, and even those who
may be termed steady readers and close
observers, have but faint conception
OF the magnitude and influence the
press Of this country has attained.
From 4 careful examination of the ad-
vance pages Of the 1855 edition of the
American Newspaper Directory, issued
May Est, by Geo. P. Rowell & Co, Of
New York, it appears that there are
I4,I47 newspapers and periodicals pub
llshed in the United States and Canada;
Of these the United Stated has I2,o7S,
an average of one paper for every $500
persons. In 1854 the total number OF
newspapers was less by Sag than at pres.
ent, and while the gain this year is not
so marked as in some previous years, it
is still considerable. Kansas shows the
greatest increase, the number being 70,
while Illinois follows with gain Of IT,
Ii is curious 10 notice that New York,
the scene of so much political activity,
during the last campaign, should have
only about one-third as many new pa
pers as Pennsylvania. AS an index to
the comparative growth and prosperity
OF different sections Of the country, es-
pecially the Territories, the number of
new papers forms an interesting study,
and may well occupy the attention Of
the curious.

The Silver Brick mine, a. Coryville,

The Mason Valley farmers have large
bands of stock on Cottonwood and
around the Big Indian mountain.
There is some excitement in Coon
Hollow over the North Star, and also
over the Snow Bird tunnel, which is in
sos feet, and has struck a ledge Of
pretty fair rock.
Mclaughlin and Cook have been
prospecting for a rich gold ledge one
and half miles north of the Big In
dian mine, but so far have been unsuc-
cessful in finding it.
Suit was commenced last Saturday by
VIM. Shimmin against the Nevada Salt
and Borax Co., TO obtain possession Of
the property now held and worked by
the company at Rhodes Marsh.
Snow and Stock struck water last
Monday in their we'll, and there is not
much doubt now about the value Of
great portion of the land ON this fiat.
Everybody will be sinking wells and
the desert will be turned into garden.
