Professor Jenney arrived to- day from

bond on the Bullion Ophir group, and
to make arrangements with the own
ers OF the Parker group that do not
live here, to prosecute the work more
energetically than heretofore. He
reports that he met with entire sue

is given until June !, 1888, to
Craig Chambers, of Salt Lake CITY.
Eighteen men are at work on the
property now, and the number will be
increased as room can be made.
From the present appearance of the
property it is probable that the bond
amounts to a sale; but the bondee has
not fully determined his future course.
On the Parker group the force will
be gradually increased until ext sum-

saved by Prayer.

A party of hnnters--Fred. Clark,
George Travis, Seal Newell and Percy
Jaeksen-started out with team for
a rabbit hunt Thursday afternoon
All went smooth till they got down in
the valley, when heavy pogonip en-
veloped them and they could hardly
see their hands before them. They
got lost and it was 5 o'clock next
morning before they could make town.
How many rabbits they killed would
not have been a safe question to ask
when they reached home, cold. hungry
and in ill-humor with themselves and
all mankind. About 2 o'clock in the
morning, when they gave up hope and
feared they would freeze to death,
Newell, who was the pious man of the
crowd, knelt down in five feet of snow
and prayed "Oh, Lord, thou knowest
we are sinners; look upon us in Thy
mercy;we know we have transgressed
against Thee and Thy laws in being
such darned fools as to go hunting
this kind of weather; forgive US, oh,
Lord raise the pogonip, aud let US see
the headlight on the Argus hosting
works, md Thine will be the honor
and glory forever and ever-Amen."
Newell's wicked comrades loudly
chorused Amen The PRAYER was
heard, the pogonip rose, the headlight
was seen, the harbor of safety made
and three wicked sinners saved
through supplication ofore pious man.

Sometimes True. But Not Always.
There was street rumor last week
that the Argus mine would discharge
on New Years SO many miners. We
couldn't understand why. We thought
it was a joke, and to our delight it
proved to be so. On the 1st they
put all the hands on they could get to
work. Whyf Because there is bet :
ter ore and better indications for a
permanent ore body than ever. The
deeper they sink the better the ore
ard more regular the formation.
Chloride, azuride and chrysolites of
silver ERE seen freely. Flour spar,
with pharmacolite of iron, carrying
anthony of silver is found on the
porphyry foot wall, which is solidly
coated with layer of iron-stained
clay.
We cannot; we don't want to--be-
cause it is not our business-describ
tie whole works, but should an old
miner or prospector go down the shaft,
look at the good management, see how
the boys are working cheerfully, and
sitting by the fire at lunch time,
laughing over these rumors. There
was never time in the history of the
mine when such good results were
obtained with the work being done as
at present. Under the present ener-
getic and economical management the
Argus mine will yet prove itself one
of the largest producers of the pre-
cious metal in Eastern Nevada.

THE COURT HOUSE BoNDs.
The Supreme Court sustains Judge
FLtzRerald's Decision.

bitzRerald's Decision.
A letter received from A. Z. Cheney,
of counsel fo- the county in the Court
House Bond case, last Tuesday morn
ing, stated that he had advices from
Carson to the effect that the Supreme
Court had affirmed the decision of the
District Court. This ends all further
trouble.
This suit was brought by J. b.
Mathewson, of Hamilton, to restrain
the Board of County Commissioners
of this county from issuing bonds to
carry out an Act of the Legislature
authorizing such issue. The case
came up before Judge Fitzgerald last
April and the injunction was removed.
The Board then went to work and is
sued their bonds. An appeal was
taken by Mr.. Mathewson To the Su-
preme Court, and every technical
point raised that could be to put off
hearing as long as they could. But
the decision of the Supreme Tribunal
of the State is at last made, as stated
above.
The course pursued by the obstruc-
tionists (for, of course, Mr. Mathewson
was not alone in the case has worked
much hardship on the county. delayed
the sale of bonds, and placed the
Board Of Commissioners at q great
disadvantage IN the performance of
their duty. Were no obstruction
placed in their way the Cour. House
would have been completed three
months ago, and the advantage of
working when the days were long and
the weather fine would be all in favor
of the Board. Besides they could
readily have sold their bonds, had
the money in the treasury TO pay their
workmen, aud commanded better
terms every way. As it was, were it
no: for few philosophical citizens,
who put up their money aud took the
bonds. the Boards hands would have
been completely tied and they could
have done nothing.
At low estimate, we think the
county has lost $4,000, to say nothing
of the many Inconvenience it has
been put To through the course pull
sued by the Hamilton obstructionists.
II they can find any consolation in the
fact that they have thus "spited' their
fcllow-citizens who had for wears con-
trihuted largely toward their welfare,
we would not deny them that pleasure,
selfish and ungenerous though II DO.

Attachment Raised.

In the District Court at Eureka last
week, in the McCurdy-Sampson case,
the melton to discharge the attach
ment on Simpsons property was
granted, with costs Oh plaintiff, and
Sheriff Humphrey has gone out to re-
turn the property TO tsrightful owner.
If the law under which the seizure
of property in this case was made
held valid, it would open the door to
endless mischief and trouble, and
place the rights of property on a very
unstable basis For ifon the bare show
ing of alleged injury one man can in
woke the law and have another's prop
,erty taken from him aud held in GUS
tody until plaintiffs case is heard, the
great hardship such proceeding would
work need not he explained.
Heretofore claim or evidence of
Indebtedness had tn be produced in this
State before attachment could issue.
But the last Legislature amended the
law to give it wider scope. But the
Court, in dismissing this attachment.
has stripped the statute OF the great
mischief that it would surely work il
left unchecked. IT is we'll that its
power for trouble was uipped IN the
bud
