Helm for the Poor.

Senator Stewart has introduced a
bill to give the Central Pacific Rail-
road Company fifteen millions Of dol
lars Of Government money, under GER
tain contingencies, to dig a tunnel
through the Sierra Nevada Noun
tains. In an interview he said
he wanted his people to have some Of
the benefits accruing from a settle
ment of the great railroad subsidy
debt. Just whom he meant by the
term "his people" is not very clear to
the ordinary understanding. II he
meant the people Of Nevada, we do
not see exactly where they come in,
but il he had reference to the railroad
people his remarks are not quite SO
obscure. Perhaps he argues that bv
lessening the grade oyer the noun
tains the railroad can afford to haul
Nevada freights a cent or two a ton
cheaper than now. This is a little
remote, but we shall all be thankful
for even small favors. Besides there
is nothing like doing a thing in the
name Of the people. Christ was cru

quently gone down in the same man
ner. There is a quiet feeling among
some plain people in Nevada, however,
that the Senator is merely "deliver-
ing the goods" as per ant~e-election
contract. 1t is not our desire to give
too great weight TO this sentiment, and
hence we say, perish the thought.

RenO's I.ast Fire.

Tie Reno Journal places the loss at
$50, 900 incurred through the recent
destruction by fire OF the reduction
works in that town. The fire origin
ated from sparks from roasted ore that
was being hoisted through an elevator.
The insurance amounts to 10000
and will cover the company's over,
draft at the First National Bank, leav-
ing nothing for the stockholders. An
extra $4,000 insurance was placed
about two months ago, but Mr.. Far
rington thought it too expensive and
the policies were cancelled. Archie
Harrington is the principal stakeholder.

Who i.:,heaRiehe.t Man.

The death OF John Jacob Aston has
set everybody to talking of him and Of
the great fortune he has left. 1t is a
question which is the richer man now
Cornelius Vanderbilt OF William
Waldorf Astor. Nobody can tell
within several million dollars what the
wealth of these gentlemen really is.
That OF Mr.. Astor being largely in real
estate, is the most difficult for the out
slider to compute. The estate owns
some two thousand houses and stores
in New York, besides hundreds OF I'M
improved lots, just within the city
limits. All the houses the Astors
have built are OF an ugly, ~greenish
gray stone. They seem to have des-
pissed the popular brown-stone, but
do not think the stone of their choice
much more attractive.

SHOOTING AT COLUMBIA.
A Dog Fight the Cause OF the
ARRAY.

The Tuscarora Times Of the 18th
inst. says: There was a shooting
ARRAY at the Gray Eagle mine, three
miles from Columbia last Thursday
afternoon between James Herman and
Joseph McClay, in which the latter re-
ceived two balls, one though the
cheeks and the other in the breast.
There had been bad blood between
the men for some time on account Of a
difference about a piece OF mining
ground, which was probably the real
Of the shooting, although the
difficulty is said to have eliminated
w a dog fight. Charles Duherty,
the Columbia mail carrier, who
brought in the news, knew nothing OF
the particulars OF the affair further
than as above given, except that
Herman did the shooting with a Win
chester rife. McClay il said to be
seriously and perhaps fatally wounded.
DIR. Drake left at 4 O'Clock yesterday
afternoon to attend the wounded man.
He is expected back this afternoon,
when the full particulars will be known
in Tuscarora. Both men are well
known in Tuscarora. There is no con-
stableor Deputy Sheriff in that section,
but Kiernan's friends are confident
that he will either 90 to Mountain
City and surrender himself to Justice
Of the Peace Max Schoen, or come TO
Tuscarora and deliver himself TO our
local authorities.

The Elko Free Press OF the 18th
inst. says: A private letter received
from Pine Station, on the line of the
Eureka & Palisade railroad, under
date Of the 9th, says that the remains
OF a horseman were found the day be-
fore, four miles from that station,
frozen stiff. 1t seems that the man,
who was a stranger in that section, left
the station three days before and not
returning, a party went in seach Of him.
He left the station on horseback, ard
when found, was sitting on the ground
frozen stiff. In one hand was some
small sagebrush twigs, and in the
fingers of the other hand was a match.
The horse stood by, his bride being
thrown over the the left arm Of his
master. He was alive. and had been
eating the sagebrush within his reach.
The traveller had got caught out in a
storm, and becoming chilled, dis
mounted from his horse and attempted
TO build a fire. He undoubtedly
waited too long before getting off Of
his horse, so that when he did get down
his fingers were too numb with cold to
strike a match. The party had Just
returned to the station a few moments
before the letter was written, and no
further particulars could be had. The
letter was from Mrs. Thos. Crum-
packer to Mrs. Thos. Hunter.

Death Of MRS. Baum.

Mrs. Baum, wife Of E. NJ. Baum,
died at Palisade early this morning.
Deceased had been confined to her
bed about two weeks and Mr.. Baum
came up last night for the purpose OF
procuring a nurse for her. This morn
ing he received the painful intelligence
of her sudden death. Mrs. Baum was
born in Ireland, but came to this
country while quite young. She had
been a resident OF Pallsade for many
wears, and was well known and highly
respected by a large circle Of friends
and acquaintance. Besides her hus-
band she leaves two children, a son

TuE ARIZONA nINE.
The Old Lead Found as Rich M
fn Virgin Ground.

The Arizona mine at Unionville,
which years ago produced several
4 illions in bullion, and made Union
vii. n Of the liveliest mining camps
in tn, State, bids to be as rich and
prodU.t.es as it ever was. Owing to
the ssa depreciation in the price of
silver bullion, the lack Of mining
knowledge on the part Of its then
principal owner and manager, the
mine was closed down about a dozen
years ago, and became the property oil
Messrs Booth & Wheeler Of Sacra-
mento. They procured patents for
5000 feet or more of the ground, and
a year or more ago commenced work,
under the supervision Of M. A..
Wheeler, an experienced mining
engineer. Mr.. Wheeler seemed to
understand at once the character and
peculiarties OF the vein, and instead OF
resuming operations in the old works,
he went on the south side of the hill,
the old works being on the north side,
and commenced running a tunnel.
This tunnel is 1000 feet from the old
works and 120 feet lower than the
deepest shafts on the mine. Some
time since he cut the lead in the
tunnel and found black sulphuret of
silver ore, similar TO that taken from
the old works in the palmy days OF
the mice. Chunks OF this black
sulphu'et ore, which assays from $3.50
to $3.50 per ton. can be seen at Mac
Millan's law office. The ore is from
virgin ground on the opposite side Of
the hill from the old works and at
least 120 feet deeper. That the mine
will prove as rich in the new ground
as it did in the old, there is no reason
to doubt and should Congress re-
monetize silver, the old town of
U~nionville within a year or two may
be as lively and prosperous al it ever
was.-Silver State.

The amateur should begin with small
plants. They not only cost less than
large ones, but are more readily adapted
to his purpose as they grow. They all
do we'll in the open air in summer, and
may be kept during the winter in almost
any room where only moderate tenn
perature prevails; but they should not

them in good condition in a cool, light

washed thoroughly clean before taken in.

The Common Elder in California.


The common elder bush of the Atlantic
States becomes tree in California. 1t is
common to find elders of twenty feet in
height growing along the water courses.
Sometimes elder trees of such age and
size as to attract much attention are
found in the rich valleys. One of local
reputation measures twelve feet nine in
ches in girth, and the branches spread
over circle fifty feet across. The Cali
fornia Buckeye is also tree Of good size
in the valleys, and when in bloom is a
beautiful object. Trees of eight and ten
feet in girth are not infrequent. Several
towns have their famous buckeyes and
elder trees The native Madrona, or
red bark, perhaps themost characteristic
of Pacific coast trees, is not, as a rule,
large, but occasional specimens reach
such size that they seem like evergreen
oaks with scarlet stems, and become
famous over whole districts. The large,
magnolia-like leaves, brilliant bark, and
gay autumn berries make this tree one of
the most beautiful in California.-Vick's
Magazine.
TThe common elder also attails the
dimensions of II tree in this State, and on
much poorer land than is usually found
along water-courses. Onhigh, poor pine
land we have seen them with trunks as
thich as a mans thigh and with a top in
proportion. They form an ornamental
tree, particularly when covered with
masses of white bloom, which extend over
a long period, and should be added to
the list of trees desirable for planting for
Ornament.-ED. FLORAL DEPARTMENT.
