An Evil.
to pass ]

There is one very bad practice
INDUCED in by a few men IN TINS
vicinity, and is exceedingly detri-
mental to the welfare and prosperi-
ty of the country at large. 1t is
this habit of one man going and To-
eating large number OF claims
every wear, and with the intention
Of never striking Il pick in the
ground on any of them; but III the
homes that some person will 20 on
or near their claims and uncover q
promising showing, when the owner
will then step forward and claim
the property, and will either drive
the partv of the claim or else con-
sent to giving a small interest to
such person. provided they will do
n large amount of work on the
ground. There has been many IN
stances of this kind hereabouts.-

NEyAOa.S INTEREST /.

From a private latte received IN
Carson yesterday we make the fol-
lowing extracts:
Til biz To pr,vi'ie irr az Indian
S..,oI Al Carson passed f',r senate
Tn-S..a, Olr l4f!) air some dis
cussion occupying two d5ys Stew
art thinks he can get II tan ug'' the
House. III. intcrviewed al the
members of the House tom'ai'' ee
on Indian Affairs, AMI hls ga' The
assurance of the Chairman NJ ne
Committee that it will D" '9,usatiy
recommended to the H2u-s- ~
will see that the Secreta'c Of the n
terror ami the SupesiuArrde9t Of
Indian Affairs both strongly -rgtn-
mended the bill. This is 3 great
deal in its favor.
On the 18th inst. Senator Slewa
submitted resolution, which
passed, asking the Secretary OF the
Interior 10 inform the Senate as to
the desirability OF authorizing the
organization in his Department,
known as the Geological Survey to
sepreyste lands of the public do
main capable of irrigation in the
sections OF the United States where
irrigation is required, from other
lands, and to lay out suitable places
20 be reserved as reservoirs and
rights of way for bitches AMI canals
for the purposes of irrigation" Be-
fore doing this he has conferred
with the Secretary of the Interior
on the subject, who said that he
was heartily IN favor of the idea,
and therefore he will recommend
such action by the Senate. The 90
iect of this move is to pave the way
for the bill the Senator introduced
some time ago providing for these
surveys. He believes this is the
first and only move to make now.
If the bill passes he will see that
Nevada is the FIRST State to reap its
benefits.
The bill to increase the mileage
to Jurors and witnesses in Nevada
to the u. S. Courts from 5 TO 10
cents per mile is in the hands OF
the Judiciary Committee. As this
is the law in Colorado there will
not be, presume. any difficulty IN
passing it. 1t is absolutely neces-
sary on account of the great dis
tances some of the witnesses have
to get over to attend the Courts
and also on account of the high
charges on stage aud railroad lines.
the Senator'S bill to amend the
mining laws has been reported from
the Committee on Mines and MIN
ing.
The bill to authorize the sale OF
mines in the Territories to aliens
has created considerable discussion
in the Senate already. Those who
oppose it do SO on the general prin-
cipal OF the alien land law passed
last March. II will be hard job !
to pass 1t.

THE cowARDLY CYCLONE.

"I see," said the old fellow who is much acquainted with the ways of the west, "that the cyclone has been talk ing turn in the south. Do you know that there's nothing more cowardly than cyclone?"
 "Cowardlyw
 "Yes, cowardly. Did you ever know cyclone to tackle anything of it's size? Did you ever know a cyclone to make dash at a great city? No, for that's not the nature of cyclone. When is a cyclone happiest? When it can slip up on some little weather boarded town that has just gone to sleep. Then it dances jig of furious glee. It dashes at the court house and scatters it about the public square seizes the Methodist church and slams its life out against the town hall l; wrenches the grooming windlass from the town well and kills the mayor with it, and then enters upon the frolic of general destruction. But how does it act when it strikes great city? It is like the cowboy who, hav- ing shot out the lights of 6 frontier saloon and made himself master of the place, goes to big town and piteously begs for drink. It gathers up dust and throws it in the eyes of the peo- pie, but it does not demolish the cham Der of commerce. It howls with cow ardly rage, and then dozes in 6 vacant lot. Never mind,' it says to itself, I know what am doing. Wonder is 6 countryman with blanket about his shoulders. He lives in little village out in Iowa. I'll follow him out home, and, after he has gone to sleep, I'll pick him up and beat his life out against the ground. Then I'll go into the village park and tangle the maple trees like ocean weeds heaped on a surf beaten shore No, sir" the west erner continued, "there is nothing more cowardly than the cyclone"

 Mrs. Shaw seized an ax and flew to the back end of the room where there were five large barrels of whisky on blocks, and, in a wonderfully short time, she had knocked in the heads of those barrels. The whisky gushed out at the door and ran down the gutter parallel with the sidewalk. The cry of "whisky, whisky" went forth, and people dropped like the chosen of Gideon's band and lapped like dogs. Men left their workshops, merchants left their stores, grocers hurried away from the perfume of the mackerel, and threw themselves on the ground. The minister and the school teacher, yield ing to the unholy excitement, followed the example of the crazy multitude and dogs, cows and hogs, with no more sense than the people had exhibited, stuck their noses into the bead bear ing tide. That night 1t seemed that every living thing in the town was drunk. Cows staggered, and dogs, yelping with drunken enthusiasm, roamcd the streets. It was a night never to be forgotten In Black flaw. The next morning old Shaw, when asked why he got drunk, swore that some malicious rascal threw him into the stream of whisky, and that while trying to call for assistance, some of the miserable stuff had run into h;s mouth.

WELL EQUIPPED.

Two men were sitting on the same seat in railway train. The conver- sation drifted from blizzards into gen. eral literature.
 "I see," said one of the men, "that you do not care much for American novelists."
 "No, nor for foreign ones."
 "In your reading you doubtless go deeper than the novel,"
 "Don't know that do."
 "I mean that you doubtless read history or books on philosophy"
 "No, ! don't do that"
 "Ah, religiously inclined and read theology, suppose?"
 "No, never read any theology"
 "Lawyer, eh7 and confne yourself to your text books."
 "No."
 "Well, now, I will catch you after awhile. Read medical books, I sup pose"
 "No, I don't read any nything."
 "What, don't read snything7 What business are you in?"

 The last cold snap was tho worst we've had since 1884. Uncle Ali Par ker that was stobbed by Uncle Steve Miller in February, died yesterday. We are having good deal of wind.
 The Iicv. Harker P. Morris preached for us last Sunday. He took his text from Matthew, and handled 1t in c most able manner. Steers run away with Bud SIison the other day and killed him. The peach crop, Uncle Billie Patterson seys, is all right. Aunt Nancy Patterson, his wife, killed herself eating dried peaches last Wednesday. She -== h!sh!, respected by every one who knew her, and would have been hfty-six years old next month Ii dried peaches had not snatched her from this vain and shal. low world of woe and wickedneas.
 A good many people have profsased religion at the revival now going on over at Clancy. Elder Bsweli is . wheel -horse and a shorter, and ls said to be one of the best fodder pulsrs in the country. Job Andrews was kicked in the face by . muls last Monday. He may get well, but his face is badly spilled. His sister Mattie that was 70 fond of dancing has protesssd religion. Tom Whitesides was killed the other day by Luke Bradshaw.
 Dr. 4. If. Collins, of Grand Glaize, Ark, is visiting Miss Punie Mscin- tosh, of this place. The Doc hasn't changed much since he was here last, with tbs exception os the fact that the hair is slipping oG the top of his head pretty fast. l reckon he and Miss Punie vii! marry pretty sccs, but 1t is said that the Docs father is nightly opposed to the match. It is true that Miss Punis is cross-eyed and tongue tied, and powerfully speckled about the face, but she can lake e good corn bread e anybody in the community. Her brother Bill was killed Friday.
 There is mighty little going on in our neighborhood.
