Judge Wells writes County Clerk
Kelly that he will hold court in Nye
county and in White Pine before com.
ing here. He will open in Nye county
on April 18th. Thus court will not sit
here before May lst. 1t is generally un-
dsrstood that Judge Wells will reside
here Our increasing business may
make it more necessary in future than
now. He could be more easily commu.
nicated with here than either Belmont
or Ely as this is the only place of the
three which has telegraphic communica.

One of our recent arrivals, who lives at
the upper end of town, was disturbed
few nights since by drunken Indian,
and now declares his premises haunted.
Nocturnal visitors are not infrequent,
and though every investigation shows up
some neighbors cat, or an oil can moved
by gentle zephyrs, he is not satisfied but

The Phoebe Water Co. is taking up the
unused water main ON Meadow Valley
st. from opposite the old Meadow Val
ley Office to the summit. 1t will be used
to convey the waste water from the Com.
pany's upper tank into the discharge

teams carried as much as a railroad

The bills fled by the various counties
against the State for expenses attending
the special election on February llth
were cut down by the Controller and
Board Of Examiners from $l9,435 10 to
$4,000 80. Some counties paid the bills
asllowed by their Commissioners from
county funds. The right of the State
Board TO act on the claims at all will no
doubt be investigated.
Twelve men were discharged last Sat .
arday night at the Reduction works.
Inc number employed there could not be
ad'antageously worked All the stone
work connected with the plant will be
finished by contract which has already
been let to L. Syphus and SONS.
The Roe Bros. shipped from Bristo,
last week twenty.four tons of copper bull
lion, the product of the last run of theil
small furnace. The collapse of the cop

ing in Bristol mines for copper until the
market becomes more settled.
