Pine Grove Items.

ED TIMES We want the people OF your
county to know that there is still place in
the mountains, known as Pine Grove. Al.
though it is not very populous place we
claim i, is the greatest place for water sPouts
on the globe. Several visited our town last
week and the largest one came down the
canyon with such rush that it flooded the
whole town. Woodpiles and other movable
things were carried away, as also a house
owned by A. Garrard. Fortunately no per-
son was injured.
The Wilson mill is running right along on
ore from the Wilson mine, and will continue
to run for couple Of months. The mines
look blooming just now and it is hoped that
the ledge will hold out little longer so as
to give the boys pockets full Of money
Mark Erway is running tri.weekly stage
between this place and Greenfield, but the
cloud bursts have ruined the road; so that
the boys will have to turn out and fix them
or there will be no mails.
!. J. Wilson has returned from San Fran.
cisco where he has been attending school.
Miss Isa Barrett, has returned and will
reopen her school next Monday.
J. K. Young's wife presented him with
fine boy last week. Mr.. Y. was overjoyed
to such an extent that he set up the beer and
cigars for all the boys, and they in return
wish him long life and happiness. That is
also the wish Of the
ARKANsAw TRAVELLER.

An Interesting silver City Mining
Subtitle Defendant Wins.

The case Of which the above is the title,
which has been on trial in Dayton in The
Third District Court Uudge NJ. a. Murphy
presiding) since sast Monday was decided at
O'Clock Wednesday evening by the jury in
favor of the defendant. Major +. Nj. liuf.
aker represented The plaintiffs, and Messrs.
Stone ard Deal the defense, and Alfred
Chanz reported The case. The cause, in sub
stance, was this In 1875 Henry Goelz and
others located the Comet Extension clam,
situated in the DEVILS Gate and Chinatown
Mining District, and worked the same until
1879, prospecting 1t by tunnels, cuts and
shaft, and then abandoned it. In 1871 Geo.
Doidg. relocated the claim and did some
work on it. LATER ON Dodge sold to Fred
Oest, The defendant, who has since expended
over 1000, according 10 the evidence, pros.
pecting the property, ard was last Decem-
Der rewarded by uncovering collaborating
quartz assaying $40 per ton in the tunnel.
On February 9Th, Of this year, Laundry
and 1inney, the plaintiffs, located what
they called the Far West mining claim,
placing their eastern boundary line SO as 10
cover the present workings Of the Comet
Extension where pay rock was discovered
| by Oest.
The case hinged upon question Of fact.
| The evidence introduced in behalf Of plain
tih tended 10 show that the Far West loca.
ton, though not quite touching what plintfi
| claimed 10 be the Comet Extension western
line, sill included its present workings, and
that since the Sth OF last February--to wit,
| on the olh-lhe Extension people moved
their western boundary posts 900 feet west,
bringing them 900 feet on the Ear West
claim. The evidence produced in behalf OF
the defense was 10 the effect that on finding
that the western posts were missing, they
took post from their center line, which had
| been placed there in accordance with the
first survey made, and OF which they had no
need and the claim being according to law,
600 feet wide, moved it 500 feet 10 the west
ern boundary and replaced the post which
they claimed had stood there and defined
their western boundary prior to the Far
West location OF February SIh.
| The mining laws, which are now primer
law in all Nevada courts, were again spread
before jury in all their tedious length; but
Of such Is mining litigation.
The news of the result Of the trial sped
| to Silver Guy far in advance OF the return
ing victorious counsel, and the deniz ms OF
that awakening burg prepared for their re-
ceplion, and On their arrival they were
seized upon by committee OF sIalwart
miners and detained until lale in the night,
and toasted, winsd, smoked and saluted by
| the firing ol anvils and bon hres and all else
that could testify their appreciation better
than their lungs. The reporter was not so
fortunate. Returning earlier he was fiAtter-
insly mistaken Tor the able counsel who had
represented the losing side and rendered an
ovation that came upon him like an Irish
| dividend.

A Calls Adventure.

A very comical occurrence took place the
other evening. AS the up passenger came
through the gap into town, COW and calf
were ls1ly walking up the track. The train
slowed up and the COW got off in time; not
so with the calf which was caught by the
cowcatcher and elevated up the smokestack
on the pilot, where it lay dazed. The engi-
neer, taking in the situation, climed out and
seized the animal before it recovered itself,
holding it firmly until the engine pulled up
at the depot, when, letting 60, the calf
scrambled off unhuri, leaving the spectato. S
in an uproar OF hlaIty. This was one OF
the times when the cowcalcher actually had
q call. -RsaIin9 Free Press.

Cloudburst and Washout.

Last Saturday there was a very heavy
thunder shower in Dayton and vicinity.
About four o'clock there was aperfect del.
uge OF water coming down FL Dorado Can
yon, and it was undoubtedly from a
cloudburst, as the rain was not heavy
enough to create such a body Of water in such
a short time. When the torrent reached the
C. {; c. Railroad it washed some OF the en-
was soon repaired, however, and the even
ing train was delayed but short time. An
other small washout occurred between here
and the Mound House, but it was also
speedily repaired. The Use in the river
caused the upper boom Of Sam Longabaugh's
wood drive 10 break and it all came down to
the boom just above the railroad bridge. In
all about thirty cords were lost, the bal
ance caught above the bridge. The flood in
Gold Caeyon, did good deal Of damgae,
filling up the yards on the west side, and
the passage way under the Pike street bridge
being damned up, the water backed up and
ran through Mrs. Fox's restaurant, Carvings
saloon and IIazlett's Drug Store. For a
time quite a stream ran up Pike street to
Main, and down Main to the river. Ran
dalls stable was flooded and the floor cover
ed with sand half foot deep. The Jerusa-
lem ditch was consid erably damaged by be-
ing broken and filled up. The roads up
Gold Canyon and FL Dorado Canyon were
partly washed out, and the Douglass ditch
was filled up so that no water was had from
the wafer works for several days. Although
there was not as much water as came down
last January the damage was about as great
outside of the loss by the railroad.

Our Tom.

Ths following is taken from the San Fran.
cisco Call, and will let the boys know what
Tom is doing with the $4,000 he received
for the Lapanta mine which he discovered
nearly year ago:
J. 7. Bradley, claiming to be miner, and
Jennie Wesimore last night started out to
take in the town, after first imbibing a more
than liberal allowance Of champagne. The
festive couple had not been long in each
others company, however, before fight en-.
sued, during which one Of Bradley's eyes
was blackened, and Jennie's back hair was
flung to the breeze. An officer captured the
combatants and brought them to the Central
Police Station, where Bradley was booked
for battery and drunkenness and his com.
panion for drunkenness. The interesting
part Of the affair is that Bradley's bank book
showed that he had expended $4,000 during
his spree and thar he had still . snug bal.
ance in the bank OF $4,000.

He was a Smith Valley rancher, and he
wanted rest. Having been hastily summon

This very desirable event was, however,
never reached. Several Sir Thomas cats

an old grudge, and Hall had no sooner

bated fury, until in agony Hall seized his
pillow and swung it with terrific force, and

In an instant the noise ceased, but another
