A Test Of Death.

Following is simple method for
determining whether life is extinct or
nj IN a IN nan being apparently
dead, for .hi,.a tile French Academy
Of Science pad thu disc verer q re-
ward of 10000 francs. If the hand
of the supposed dead person Is held
toward candle or other artificial
light, with the fingers extended and
one touching the other, and one looks
through the spaces between the fin
gers towards the light. there appears
a scarlet color where the iingt r. touch,
due to the blood still circulating, it
showing itself through the tissues that
have not yet congested. When life il
extinct the phenomenon of scarlet
space between the fingers at once
ceases. The most extensive and thor
ougb trials established the unerring
certainty of the above method for de-
terminiug if the vital spark Is extin-
guished.

THE LONG BLOCKADE.
The C. r.. and r. d p. Battling with

From the meagre information that

that we hero in White Pine only

we're in the Sierras and throughout
the Western and Central portions of
the State. A letter from the Deputy
Postmaster at Eureka TO Sol Hip,
dated January 23d. says no trans, East
or West, had passed Palisade since
the 18th, and the Eureka and Palis-
ade road had likewise been block
AIDED. On the latter road force OF forty
snow-shovelers, with cooks and com
plele camping outfit, had been at
work several days, and dispatch
from them said they were near Min

was very meagre, owing 10 the wires
being down and communication cut
off with the West. The latest news
received at Eureka from the G. p. de-
layed trains was, that the Eureka
telegraph operator received word
from Reno that small train, with
eight engines ahead, had left there
in the morning and only made one
mile all day.
Mr.. Jos. Mattos, OF the Nevada
Stage line. who arrived here from
Eureka Wednesday, reports the roads
between here aud there as almost i'm
passable. From Jake's to the Robin
son Summit the snow is three feet
deep on level, with some very bad
drifts. 1t takes two days hard work
to make the Is miles. Mr.. Mattos
has team waiting in Eureka to start
out with the delayed mails as soon as
railroad communication is opened.
In Eureka the opinion Is generally
expressed that this is the hardest win
ter and the longest snow blockade ex-
perienced in Nevada since the white
man took up his abode here.

VIM. Kilgore, a miner well known
in White Pine and Eureka was, we
learn, found frozen 10 death on the

The only particulars we could get
is that he WAS doing assessment work
at Hillside and started for Bristol to
get provisions. When found he was
sitting down by sagebrush and held

is dangerous place to winter in such
a year as this as snow-slides are likely
to occur before spring, and 1t is pre-

How 10 Kili = Town.

Buy of peddlers as often and as

Never pay your local paper cent
for advertisements.
Denpunce ,onr merchants because
they have profit on goods.
Glory in the fall of man who has
done much to build up the town.
Make your town out the worst
moral place and stab at it every chance
yon get.
Send away for letter heads, blanks,
statements, etc, because they are five
cents cheaper after express is paid.
Refuse to unite in every scheme for
the betterment of the material interest
of the people.
If stranger comes to town tell him
that everything is overdone and pre-
dict general crash in the future.
When you have anything to say
about the town say it in such a
way Us to leave the impression that
you have no faith in it.
Never on any account say n good
word for your banks, merchants, min
listers, teachers, schools. newspaper or
anybody or anything else.
If you are a merchant don't adver-
tise in your home paper, but buy a
rubber stamp and use that-it may
save you a few dimes and make the
paper look as if it was published in a
one-horse town, and give the place a
black eye.
On the contrary if you want to have
good lively and pleasant place to
live in, patronize home merchants,
printers, manufacturers, banks, and
talk cheerfully of your surroundings.
