The Phoebe Record says: A. II !.
Boomer, of San Francisco, is the
"lucky man" who gets the contract to
carry the mail three times q week from
Phoebe to Panaca IL miles and return
for $459 per year. This is at the rate
of $2.75 per round trip or 10k cents
per mile Travelled. Ii Mr.. Boomer IL
only a dummy for local bidder, then
some one of our neighbors has con-
tract of which he must know the ma
ture; and he probably is as he ought
to be, prepared to perform it to the
letter. But if Mr.. Boomes really Is
Mr.. Boomer, and proposes to work
his boom by sub-letting to local con-
tractors it lie respectfully suggested
that the latter will be making fools of
themselves and doing themselves and
the community an injustice if they
take the sub-contract at figure one
dime lower than their own lowest bid.
That was too low. 1t is hoped that
Mr.. Boomer will be allowed to boom
his own boom.

"Tobacco smokers, says the London
Medical Mirror, "must look to their
eyes," Proofs are accommodating that
blindness, due to slowly progressive
atrophy of the optic nerves, induced
by smoking, is of frequent occurrence.
In one of the volumes of the "London
Hospital Reports" Mr.. Jonathan
Hutchinson has narrated several cases
of amaurosis, the histories of which
go to establish the fact that in each
case the blindness was brought on by
that rapidly increasing, and, as it APP
pears, baneful habit; and 10 the Medi-
cal Times and Gazette of late date,
the same distinguished surgeon has
described another striking case of
tobacco amaurosis, ending in absolute
blindness, induced in Is months"

Last Weeks Storm In Western
White Pine.

From the Eureka Sentinel of last
Saturday we take the following:
At Mrs. sheckels station the water
was two feet deep on the floor OF the
house. and nearly three feet deep in
the stable. The stage horses had to
be removed from their stalls and
turned loose in the hills. Another
terrific fall of rain commenced on
Wednesday morning at IL O'Clock.
lasting, with but little cessation, for
ten hour. The men about Mrs.
Sheckels' place had to plow > ditch
in the road to keep the water out of
her house, but it again rushed in and
left sediment on the floors six in
ches deep. She lost 1000 pounds of
-four, 800 pounds of sugar and other
things, the damage being fully q
thousand dollars, all told. At one
time the surging streams bid fair to
wreck the place entirely. Big fur
rows we're cut in the road in a number
of different places from three to five
feet, and the stage driver had to have
men to help him through. We learn
that after the storm was over the road
supervisor of White Pine county em-
ployed five men whe are putting the
road in repair, hence travel will no
longer be impeded.
Reports say that big hall stones
fell during the storm which covered
the streets of Hamilton six inches
deep, and White Pine Mountain wore
a white mantle from dome to base.

a Great CSims That Calls for severe
Panishmsns

We learn that there 10 co nsiderable
dissatisfaction among the Indians at
Ely, going to the extent of threat en-
ing open revolt against the whites.
Their alleged grievance 10 that the
whites get their squaws drunk and
use them for base purposes. This
trouble should be nipped In the bud
by the officers of the law, of which
there 10 full quota now in Ely. And
the first step that should be taken is
10 arrest and hold for trial all parties
found giving or selling liquor to In
dians. The law is on the Statute
books. Enforce 1t, officers of the peace |;
and don't let this tronble assume such
shape that We may any day be called
to chronicle the massacre Of innocent
men-perhaps, women and children.
This dilly-dallying with men who
violate the laws made for the public
good, becauseit is thought too expen-
sive to enforce them, Is not the right
thing. It is to protect the lives and
property of the people that good citi-
Gems pay burdensome taxes without Q
murmur to support officers, whoss
duty 1t is to execute the laws. Why
don't they de it,

Ran Off the Grade.

Geo. Giles, who has been freight
ing for the Ketchum Fast Freight
Line to Clayton, on his return trip
last Sunday night met with quite
an accident while coming down the
grade this side of the summit on
the Ketchum and Challis toll road.
He had two wagons loaded with
5000 pounds Of bullion, with six
horses attached to the lead wagon,
and it seems by some negligence
in not properly adjusting the rough
lock he ran off the grade, sending
his wagons ard horses down the
mountain side a distance of 800
yards, badly smashing up his outfit
and severely crippling one of his
horses, and more or less injuring
the balance of his stock. Giles
luckily escaped being mixed up in
the wreck by jumping from the
wagon before it went over the grade.
Transfers cannot be too cautious
about rough-locking during the Icy
condition of the roads, especially
on very steep grades.

Thursday morning, November ed.
Mrs. Powers was born at Elbridge,
Onandaga county, N. Y, and was
in her Goth year at the time OF her
decease. She came among us some
two years and half ago, and in
that time she has endeared herself
to all who came in contact with
her by the quiet loveliness of her
character. The active part of her
married life was mainly spent at
Mattoon, H., where her husband,
who was a clergyman and an ac-
complished scholar, died thirteen
years ago, and where she was known
and loved for her amiability and
charity, for which traits she was
especially noted. Her bereaved
daughter and friends have the SYM
patty of our community in their
loss. The funeral took place yes
terday at the residence of her SON.

was quite largely attended. Rev:

Directly below the Rule, but to
the northeast some 5000 feet, the

nothing but a prospect as yet, and
SO small on the surface as to be
hardly traceable, but still it shows
ore in all its openings, and of a
much richer grade than the Rule.
Parties recently from the mine say
that with development the Carbon

prove so. | can speak of many more
prospects that are fast becoming

Clayton is all that is claimed for il,

to the KEYSTONE the past season in
our humble way, we have tried to
speak Of mines and men as we found
them; we have made no enemies

tons regarding the mines of Clay

readers, let them come and see for
themselves and be convinced.
