Last Wednesday evening Piute squaw
was brought down from Silver City by Mr..
BENEFITS, she having been run over by a
wagon and had her leg broken. The woman
is from Smiths Valley. She had been to Vir-
GINA and was coming down here on one of
Ed. Swift's wood teams. The team turned
off to 60 to some other point and the woman
began to climb off while the wagon was still
going. She fell in front Of the hind wheel,
which ran over her leg and broke it close to
the hip joint. She was brought here and the
Piutes took her to campoody over the river,
the home Of Piute Tom. DIR. Hazlett went
the next morning TO see how badly the squaw
was injured, but the Putes would not allow
him to see her, saying they had sent some.
where for an Indian doctor. The unfortu-
nate woman will probably die, or else
the Piutes, becoming tired of taking care Of
her will leave her to starve or stone her to
death.

The great Cronin Sensation that has moved
the whole of the civilized world and mysti.
fed the most skillful, is at last explained and
is told complete for the first time, in a vol.
ume that has been lately written by the noted
journalist, Henry M. Hunt, Of Chicago.
This gentleman, knowing that very small
part of the real facts have reached the ears
Of the people, has succeeded in gathering
everything of importance, and placing it in
his work-a book of thrilling interest and
one that holds the attention enwrapped from
the first to the last page. 1t is brimful Of
hitherto unpublished facts and great many
of which are made known for the first time
as it contains profuse illustrations it can be
safely called valuable pictorial history oil
the greatest Of modern crimes. The des:lip.
ton of the betrayal of Ireland's interests by
her supposed friends cove RS many pages. 1t
is the only complete and authentic work on
the subject that will or can be issued. The
History Company of San Francisco has just
published this book, and is selling the same

the Senate complete table giving the pro.

Think Of it, the 5I5,42I,3I5 ounces of sill

ounce fine, and thus realized $665 ,7S6 o45,
were sacrificed to British greed for $565,I53,.
Gao, creating loss of 500, 733,ooS to the
producers of the precious white metal Of this
country. This loss Of over one hundred mil
lion dollars represents IS, oIo,o34 ounces Of
pure silver, equal to 4,775,63I pounds avoir-
dupois, something appalling when considered
that worse than stupidity is responsible for
such sacrifice. Pile up these $4,000, 200
ounces of fine silver, coined into one dollar
pieces. and you have a solid column Of

Here are found trees, shrubs and flowers of

Last Sunday morning District Attorney
Lothrop and his wife started for Smith Val
ley with team and when opposite the old
lime kiln in Eldorado Canyon the animals
became risky, and in their hilarity broke
the buggy tongue. There being no place to
get another team or carriage Mr.. and Mrs.
Lothrop walked to Dayton, a distance OF
about four miles, secured another conveyance
and some gentler steeds, and made fresh
start. The supposilion is that they reached
their destination without accident this time,
as nothing has been heard to the contrary.

WATER STORAGE.
A Practical Experiment to be Made at
Bonner Lake.

The Truckee Republican publishes the fol-
lowing: For some time past negotiations
have been pending between several Nevada
gentlemen and the owners of property around
Bonner lake. This week sales of most oil
the land have been consumated.
The largest sale was by Brickell & Kruger
to F. G. Newlands, the tract Of land being
all at the foot of the lake. The reported
consideration was $4,000. This property
was purchased last May by Brickell e. Kru-
ger for $500, since which time they have
constructed dam at the outlet of the lake
at cost of s., 900. which is intended to
raise the lake to high water mark. The
other lands purchased belonged to ]. F.
Moody, Mrs. E. B. Croker and the Sierra
Wood and Lumber Co., and negotiations are
pending with others. Good prices were paid
to all.
There is report that the owners Of a
quarter section of land at the west end of the
lake are holding off for a big price and ask
$IS, 900 for it.
The plan is to at once commence the cree
ton of dam at the sight Of the old Towle
mill, which will raise the surface of the lake
about 20 feet. This will be used to hold
back the waters which 60 to waste in the
Spring.time and will be drawn off during
the Summer to ireigate desert land near Reno.
We understand that Messrs. Mayberry
Wheeler, Fulton, Evans, Newlands and pos.
sibly others are interested in the scheme.
Whether they will carry it out themselves
or transfer their interest to the State Of New
ada lat slight increase above their outlay
is not known here. But it is big scheme
and will be Of great benefit to this section Of
the country
We also understand that the syndicate has
also purchased reservoir site on the Little
Truckee river below Weber lake, and paid
Stewart and Tiffany 81, 900 for truct Of land
there. The big irrigation scheme promises
TO loom up in grand style in short time.
