Eaw ihorne District Recorder.

An election for Recorder of Haw-
rthorne District was held at the Pam
lico boarding slouse last Saturday.
The candidates Were Austin Hull and
Herb. Harrison. Fortytiv votes were
polled. Hull Geceived 81, Harrison %
and two ballots were voted containiag
Hull's name with the name of the
voter on the back. There was much
discussion as to the proper course to
pursue-whether to throw out the two
troublesome votes (Which action would
elect Hartson) or to count them for
Hull, which would give him oae ma
jority. 1t was finally agreed to defer
action until 10 o'clock Saturday night,
before which time, however, Mr. Hart
son conceded the election to Hull, who
was accordingly declared elected.

THE JOANNA BONANZA.
One OF the Biggest Mines Ever Sees
On the PaciH Conat

The White Piae News ct November
80 til. contains the following.
We took a drive up the canyon Il
few days ago to take another look nj
the Joanna mine, We found three
laeu quarrying out the hillside on II
breast 100 feet or more. aud keeping
two teams steadily at work hauling To
the mill. The only waste on this breast
OF ere is about foot of SagebruSh and
loose gravel that is stripped from the
slautiag surface of the hill The grade
of the ore has raised from 500 to $40
u ton.
Mr.. d c. McQuitty, an old Cali
fornia miner, who accompanied us, was
greatly astonished at the immcnse mass
of ore ID sight, aud said that in all his
experience in California he never saw
anything like it 1t is mountain of
high grade gold bearing rock, which
promises to contain millions 0f the
! most precious metal. Every one who
| sees it is astonished at Its great mass
and high grade.
Already numerous offers are coming
in from mining men looking to a pur-
chase of the property; but Mr.. Watson,
knowing he has good thing, is not at
\ oil anxious to part with it. We are
reliably informed that bond for 30
days and 100000, with forfeit of
$40 900 has been refused by Mr.. Wat
sou. We are not in position TO say
what exact value Mr.. Watson places
upon the property, but it is probable
that not less than half million dollars
would induce him to sell, and the CON-
pany that gets hold of it at that figure
we should consider lucky.
The Joanna is great property, and
whether sold or worked by its preseat
owner, is almost certain to last for
many years and pour out a constant
supply OF the most valuable metal
known to commerce.
That there are other equally as good
mines in this district all indications
seem to warrant, when explored and
opened out.

New Ditch Company.

r. A. Watkins, John Farrell and Gale
Bristol, of Mason Valley have formed
company to take out a new ditch to
bring water from the Walker river to
their ranches near Wabuska. Work
was started on the I'd of this month
The ditch is to be six or seven feet
wide on the bottom, and will be several
miles long. Il will take water from the
river Mt Black Point, where the east
and west forks of the Walker come to-
gether. The ditch will come down on
the west side of the ranches, and will
furnish the above named parties with
all the water they may require the
year round. The enterprise is good
one, and whi help out the lower end Of
the valley on the water question quite
materially. The next thing is to get
water enough in the river to supply
all the ditches.-LLyon County Times.

An Interesting Incident About

An Interesting Incident About
Charley Angel.
Mr.. Jay w. Adams, the obliging repre-
sentative in this city of the Chicago and
Alton, has on his desk handsome Ital-
ian marble paper-weight, bearing his ini-
tials, with which is associated quite an
interesting episode in railroad history.
Old.timers will remember Charley An
CELL, the Secretary and Treasurer of the
Pullman Company, in Chicago, who alb
seconded about fifteen years ago with
$50, 900 of money and securities belong
ing to his employers, and who was cap
tured in Spain by Pinkerton's men and
brought back and condemned to
serve long term in the Joliet
Penitentiary. He became clerk of
the prison and on his release short
time ago Messrs. Pullman offered to
take him back into their service. Agnell
refused and said that he could not bear
to face the world and his old associates
again and would prefer to end his days
in the prison. The Burlington Marble
Company, most of whose work is done
in Joliet by convict labor, knowing what
an efficient man Angel is, have ap-
pointed him their cashier and book
keeper at the salary of $4,000 year, SO
Angel has opened up his offices within
the prison and established himself there
for life. Having had friendly relations
with Mr.. Adams while that gentleman
was agent at Joliet for the Chicago and
Alton, he has presented him with the
token referred to.

A NEW ROUTE.
An Imp0rtant Addition to Local
Traffic Accommodation.

An ImpOrtant Addition to Local
Traffic Accemmodation
On Saturday evening official notiica.
ton was received in this city of the
opening of what 10 practically new
route to Southern California. Hereto
fore passengers wishing to travel via the
Northern Pacific Railroad had to pay an
extra charge of SIP on q second-class
ticket and $13 on first-class ticket, for
passage to Los Angeles, the Coast term
inal point of the road being built from
San Francisco. Now, however, passengers
can be routed to any point in Southern
California as far south as Cotton on
the Southern Pacific and to all points on
the California Central and California
Southern railroads for the same fare as
to the Bay City; and vice versa. passen-
gers from this section can be booked to
points on the Northern Pacific without
paving the local arbitraries. This means
an important thing for Los Angeles, as
hitherto residents along the line of the
Northern Pacific desiring to make a
pleasure trip to California would natur-
ally buy their tickets to the northern part
of the State, as by so doing they would
save $26 on round-trip first-class
ticket. Now, however, they can come to
Los Angeles for the same fare as they
could to San Francisco, so an additional
source of traffic revenue has been added
to this section. The circular authorizing
the change is issued by General Passen-
ger Agent Goodman, of the Southern
Pacific, and General Passenger Agent
Chas. S, Fee, of the Northern Pacific.

A AYOuth,s Reward,

"Ingratitude, thy name is woman" so
says Henry Schell. young man, who is
on night duty at the Nadeau Hotel. Henry
came to this philosophical conclusion on
Saturday last. He had been delighted
visitor to the matinee at the Grand Opera
House, and when leaving the theatre he
found in one OF the aisles handsome
lady's purse, which upon examination
proved to contain check for $3.50, some
small change and trunk key. The name
on the check being familiar one to the
boy, he at once proceeded to East Los
Angeles, where he thought the gentle-
man resided, but when he arrived at the
house formerly occupied by the family,
he learned that they had moved
into tie center of the city, where he
found the lady who had dropped the
purse. If Henry had, during his street.
car ride in search of the owner of the
purse, INDUCED in any visions of ap-
preaching wealth in the shape of a
pecuniary reward, he was certainly
doomed to disappointment, for the lady
upon receiving her lost treasure, simply
thanked the lad and shut the koor in hie
face. The young man is now out IL
cents for car fare and his feelings are
considerably ruffled, so much so, that
he finds it hard to believe in the truth o.
of the old saying that Honesty is the
best policy"
