Hall by Knickerbocksr Engine and Hose Company
No 5. Quite number of the Silver City Firemen
were in attendance, one or two parties from Sutro
and thirteen from the Mound House brought down
by Tom Calvert. The uniforms worn by the engine
company and the hose boys, looked very neat in
deed. The best music that could be found was
procured for the occasion the Virginia Orchestra
and it gave entire satisfaction. At 1s o'clock q
delicious supper was served at the Occidental res
taurant below the hall, and the manner in which
it disappeared proved that it very palatable to
the hungry dancers. larger number was seated

The Difference,

The TINES is full Of paying advertisements
as you will see by elancing over our columns
They are not all home advertisements, which
shows that we do not live on the county al.
together, nor depend on all home advertise
menls for an existence. The TINES brings
money into the county instead of trying to
suck it all out Of the County Treasury and
business men of the county. Nowithstand
ing the assertion of the Leteh that the TINES
is seldom seen outside of the county, we ap.
pear to have the favorite advertising medium
in this county. Business firms advertise
with US because 1t does them some good
they advertise in the Leech because 1t is
SENATOR Westerheld's paper, and they
are made to feel obliged to patronize him
because he is a mill superintendent and has
a handle to his name.

SUTRO WILL BOOM!
Ore to be Extracted through the Tun-
mel and Worked on the River

ZINES reporter had a conversation with
gentlemen who is we'll posted in regard to
what information he gives, this week, and it
is learned that on Thursday last the force of
miners employed in the Sutro Tunnel were
ordered 10 begin laying track from the main
tunnel 10 the Savage mine. The rails are
being taken up from the Ophir to the face of
the main north drift Sixteen men are now
employed in this work and they will have a
double track built from the main tunnel to
the Savage mine, a distance of about 200
feet, in less than ten days from the time work
was commenced, The tunnel strikes the
Savage at depth of 1860 feet and at this
point there IS rook in the mine that will as
say on an average of from $50 to $40 per
ton, with some assays going into the thou.
sands. Is is understood that the Tunnel
Company is to receive Is cents per ton per
mile for the transportation of this orc through
the tunnel to Its mouth; also that the rock
will at present be worked at the Rock Point
mill. The proposition Of taking out ore
from the Comstock mines is not a new one, as
it has been thought of many times before,
but for some reason it has never been done.
Now that start has been made other mines
besides the Savage will probably do the same
thing in the near future. 1t will not only be
Of advantage to work low grade ores on the
Carson river by bringing them through the
tunnel, but much can be saved in expenses.
Our information in regard to this matter
comes from what we consider pretty good
authority, and we believe that the time is
coming when the Carson river will be again
lined with mills at work on ComstOck rock &,
and that Sulro instead Of being halt.dead
camp will experience business revival al
most equal to that OF the time when the great
work OF building the tunnel was being car

what True Merit WiIIDo.

The Unprecedented sale Of Boschee's
German Syrup within a few years. has as
tonished the world. 1t is without doubt the
safest and best remedy ever discovered for
the speedy and ehectual cure Of Coughs,
Colds and the severest Lung troubles. 1t
acts on an entirely different principle from
the usual prescriptions given by Physicians,
as it does not dry up Cough and leave the
disease still in the system, but on the con.
trary removes the cause Of the trouble, heals
the parts affected and leaves them in pure.
ly healthy condition. A bottle kept in the
house for use when the diseases make their
appearance, will save doctors bills and a
long spell of serious illness. A Trial will
convince you OF these facts. 1t is positively
sold by all druggists and general dealers in
the land. Price, IS cv., large bottles.

rheumatism

Usually settles in the back or limbs, and Of.
ten so completely overpowers its victims
that all business and labor have to be aban-
doned. Our readers should remember that
Hoods Sarsaparilla is not recommended as
positive specific for rheumatism; its prop-ie-
tors doubt if there is, or can be, such rem.
edy. But many people who were most Sc
verely afflicted, state that they have been
positively cured by Hool's Sarsaparilla.
The disease is often The result of impure
blood-hence the power of this great medi-
cine over it. Its success in many severe
cases justihes us in recommending its use to
all sufferers from rheumatism. 100 Doses

Proprietary Medicines.

A visit to DR.. Green's Laboratory, at
Woodbury., N. J., has considerably changed
our views, and especially our prejudices in
regard to what are generally known as
STANDARD Patent Medicines" OF course
we are getting to that age in life when we
are forced to conclude life itself is a hum
bug, and naturally disirust anything that
has not withstood long and tried experiences.
Being a physician | had the curiosity to
know how such a sale of two medical prep
arations could be sustained for so many
years. The perfect system upon which the
business is conducted, and the pharmaceuti-
cal arrangements for the manufacture Of the
two recipes with which we were made &C.
quaintcd, are sufficiently convincing to US
that the August Flower for Dyspepsia and
Liver Complaints, and Boschee's German
Syrup, for Throat and Lung Troubles. were
for the complaints they are recommended,
most excellent remedies, and only regret
that in much Of our practice, medical ethics
prevent us from subscribing them without
making the formulas public. When we were
shown the great quantity Of voluntary let
tiers having been forwarded Dr.. Green, from
all parts Of the country, and from all classes
OF people, lawyers, ministers and doctors,
giving description of their ailments. test :
monials of their cures, ETC., | feel like en-
dorsing DR.. Green's suggestion that the
Government accept such valuable formulas,
and license them for general use by giving
protection TO the inventor same as patents
generally.-Copied from N. Y. Druggists
