stump Detective.

During the week Geo. d. Temple, a
timber inspector OF the Government,
has been investigating matters on the
Base Range. We understand that he
found that depredations had been
committed on Government timber in
this county by r. Sadler, John Tore,
Pete Hansen and other coalburners to
the enormous amount of six millions
and a half dollars. We knew the
above named gentlemen possessed
large sacks, but we had not rated
them quite so high. We had been
sizing them at about a million
each. This government agent can
hardly be familiar with the law. The
use Of timber for mining and domestic
purposes is especially permitted in the
United States statutes. The charcoal
for smelling the ores-is as much an adj
junct Of mining as the cabin the miner
lives in,

The stock marke. sim Dull.

Mining stocks are still low in
price and duh in market. They fail to
respond to the good news carried back to
the Bay by the visiting brokers, and
solid arguments in the shape of many big
bars of silver bullion shipped below seem
to have been void of effect. The San

and the opinion is fast spreading on the
street that the apathy will result in
another giving way of the patience of

PLAT THE DIVIL's THAT.'
John Mnckay the Victim OF q Joke
at the q. Il O.. shaft.

At the G. & G. shaft there is a top
carman named Bailey. He is so short in
stature that when standing erect his chin
barely reaches to the top of a mining car.
What he lacks in hight, however, he
makes up in strength and is a very eff.
eient carman.
While visiting the c. & c. shaft re.
Gently John Mackay observed q car ap-
preaching very rapidly from the ore
house and seeing no one in the vicinity
surmised that it was running away, and
stepping in front of it attempted to stop
it. Just as he caught the car he WAS sur
prised to see a mans head pop up juss
above the top of the rear end of the car.
the owner of which exclaimed, "phat the
divil's that?"
1t proved to be Bailey who was behind
the car pushing it and on account Of his
short stature invisible. The ludicrous in
cident caused much merriment among
those who witnessed it in which Mr..
Mackay joined.-Va. Chronicle.

Mines OF Great Promise-Improve-
ment I'm the veins-nich Ore
Greater Permanence A Good
AuguRv.


We learn that a number OF tribu-
tiers are at work in the mines OF Morey
District, Nye county, and We are re-
liably informed that they lever looked
better than they do at present. The
veins are true assures, which cross the
country in an east and west course, at
a distance of about 1000 feet apart.
The mountain in which they are stu
ated is very steep and rises preeipi-
tously from the foothills. The mines
have been opened principally by tun-
nels entering the foothills and follow
ing the veins. The country rock is
granite, which, for a considerable dis
lance alongthe line Of these tunnels, is
very much broken up and the veins
are displaced at several points, but the
tunnels, gaining great depth as they
are driven westward into the heart OF
| the mountain, are now entering a
more permanent formation, where the
veins being consequently undisturbed
are likewise showing a more perma-
nent condition as greater depth is at
tanned. Messrs. Moore & Shendel
have lately been working the Magno-
liza mine under lease, and are develop
ing a fine ledge Of ore, q part of which
is high grade and easy of reduction.
They have just completed a shipment
Of SO tons to Salt Lake, which, by
careful sampling on the dump, shows
a value of $500 to the ton, about $40 Of
which is in gold. The low grade ore,
which contains blackjack and is OF a
rebellious character, is not touched,
but the mine, under the conditions Of
the lease. is kept open, in order that
this material can be utilized by the
owners at a future day, when it a be
mined profitably to them under i'm
proved facilities. As the saying goes,
blackjack rides a good horse" and
the presence OF this material is re-
garded as a good augury.
