A Novel Water Pitcher.

firm of London china manufacture
ers have introduced, in tho Toilet
Aquarius," an invention as ingenious as
1t is simple. Tho water-container,
holding about as much as an ordinary
toilet jug, is oblong in shape, and rests
upon framework of metal in such n
manner that it discharges tho water
into the basin merely by drawing tho
handle forward. Tho exertion is thus
rminimized so as to be no moro than that
involved in turning on tap, which is q
great consideration for ladies and for all
invalids. Moreover, tho splashing
which so often occurs in pouring out
from heavy jug is saved, and break
ages are reduced to minimum.

Low Lawyer VINO Was busy Settled n
Femme Book Agent.
Thore is lawyer with an office in ono
of tho large buildings in New York who
is famous among his friends as man
who never loses his temper nor allows
his language to stray from the path of
propricty. He was desperately busy tho
other day when a female book canvasscr
entered his private Office, and as she ad-
vanced from the door, announced her
mission.
II should like to show you very val
vablc work." she began.
Madam said tho counsellor, as he
rose from his chair, ''you must excuse
me. am very sorry, but at present
am engaged"
Evidently tho agent had heard some
thing of the kind before, for she didn't
pause in her progress toward tho law
ycr's desk.
Madam" he repeated. 81 am engaged
at present"
Still the agent came Oh.
"Madam," cried tho lawyer in dcsper-
alton, 81 am engaged, and ii you don't
go away you will force mo to DO what
have never been beforo-guilty of'rudc-

That settled tho agent. Probably tho
very vaguencss of tho threat helped to
set her to retrcating. But like true

THE RUBY DUNDERBERG.
A Plan for the Reconstruction Of
This Company Agreed On.


An extraordinary general meeting
Of the Ruby and Dunderberg Consoli-
dated Mining Company, 1885 (Limi-
ted, was held in London, England,
on the 10th ult., when a plan Of re-
construction was agreed on. The
new company is to be registered IN
der the name OF "Ghe Ruby Com
pany (Limited)."
We learn that Mr.. James Wilson,
who for several years past has held
the position OF secretary of the COM
pany at this place, has been appointed
temporary manager OF their business.
This is q fair recognition of the gentle
mans past services, and we shall be
glad to hear OF his being permanently
retained. In the mean time, the
present foreman, Mr.. Morcom, will
have full charge Of the mines. 1t is
not known at present whether a new
manager will be sent out or not.
Messrs. Wilson and Morcom are both
capable gentlemen. Mr.. Morcom has
had large experience underground,
many ears OF which have been in this
camp, and Mr.. Wilson is recognized
here as a conscientious, honest, plain
spoken and very reliable gentleman,
who, to his employers is faithful and
true as steel. AS TO future operations
at the mine, it is probable that moth
ing definite will be known until the
late manager, Mr.. Gallwey, reaches
England and reports to the company
in person the condition and prospects
OF their property.

issuing from mounds of snow. Snow
slides are laundering and trembling

Great Humane Act.

The San Francisco Examiner per-
formed a very unusual and humane
act of enterprise on Friday night last
when it employed a steam tug boat to
go outside the Golden Gate to rescue
a poor fisherman whose boat had been
wrecked, and out of five persons in
the boat he was the only one who sue
ceeded in reaching a foothold upon a
rock, in the surf at the foot OF Point
Bonita light house. The life saving
crew could not aid the man, who had
to be taken from his perilous position
before IL o'clock, or he would be
covered by the tide and drowned !;
but the energy Of a remarkably grand
paper conceived the idea OF doing
what professional government en-
ployes would not help to do. The
work performed by the reporters,
Allen Kelly and III. X. Haxton, as
related in the Examiner, was some OF
the bravest ever performed, and they
with the enterprising paper with
which they are connected, deserve the
very highest honors of esteem which
can be shown. We are proud of the
Examiners remarkable energy.

Good Judgment aud Economy Nee.



One remark Of the chairman Of the
North Mexican Mining and Milling
Company we a indorse 10 the full
from personal observation on the spot.
His words ought to be framed and
hung up in the Office Of every mining
company: "The whole secret Of
mining in the Transvaal was economi-
cal management and looking after
details, and they must work the mine
in the way that any merchant would
work his own Office. Ifthat was done
a poor mine could be made to pay far
better than a rich mine unskilfully
managed."-London, Eng, Weekly
Bulletin.
Not only to the Transvaal do the
above remarks apply, but to all other
mining and milling operations in
every part OF the world. The richest
mine in the world may be run into
debt by unskillful and extravagant
management. Good judgment and
economy are rs necessary to mining as
to commercial success, No man
should be intrusted with the charge Of
a mine unless he possesses practical
knowledge of mines and formations.
and the o experience he has had
in the particular locality in which the
mine is situated, the better qualified
he is 10 take charge Of 1t. Miners
who have been accustomed to the
true fissure veins OF California find
themselves at fault in the charge OF
mines in the limestone formation Of
this and neighboring districts, and
their employment at the head Of affairs
in ours have brought repeated failures.
In all Of the great commercial centres
Of the world, men are required to
thoroughly learn and become pro-
fcient in the various branches Of bust
ness in which they have been engaged
before they are placed in responsible
positions. In mining, more than in
any other branch OF business, is this
rule the most necessary Of all others
10 be observed.

Cattle on the Ranges.

The Reno Gazette says there must
necessarily be great loss OF stock cat
tie this Winter on the ranges, for they
were poor, in many instances, when
they were turned out, and the deep
snow and cold weather will draw them
up so that many Of them will die be-
fore warm weather comes. II this
cold snap continues for any length of
time the loss will be very heavy.
Stockmen will have the satisfaction OF
knowing that what is left will be
worth all the more, however, and
possibly it will prove advantageous il
one-third of the cattle do die. The
Gazette's news from the Eastern part
Of the State is especially discouraging,
for before the storm il was hard work
for many of the cattle to get around,
they were so weak. North OF us the
reports are better, for there is not as
much snow and the weather has not
been near so cold as in the Eastern
part of the State, besides the cattle
went to the Winter range in far better
condition than those in the East.

Carson. Boss Building.

The new Government building at
Carson is in a queer predicament, 80
far as the details Of interior finish are
concerned. The sub-contractor has
closed the doors and holds the fort,
demanding his pay before he works to
a finish. John Barrett of Reno, who
has been awarded the contract to COM
plete the approaches and mechanical
surroundings, was notified from the
Department at Washington to pro-
coed with the work. This he will pro-
coed with as soon al practicable. A
broad, granite tagged approach is to
be laid to the front entrance; a semi
circular, macadamized road at the
rear Of the building for the convenience
of mail carriages, and all around the
four sides OF the grounds will be
placed a handsome iron fence on a cut
granite coping, outside Of which will
be a granite tagged sidewalk. The
whole concern, complete, will have
cost over SIS, 000.-Enterprise.

white Pine News of Jan. a.
Yesterday was a wild day in Fly,
II showed and bowed and few ven.

piles
Our mails arrive ir~regularly, but
they are doing the best they can, and
we are more inclined to praise their
exertions than blame their Irregular
ties.
The present heavy and ~long-con-
tinued storm is bound to be severe on
stock ranges in White Pine county.
One thing in their favor is that thus
far the weather has not been near SO
cold as it is reported to have been west
and north Of US.
During the past week the weather
has been unsettled, storming off and
on at intervals. Thursday night and
all day yesterday the wind blew al
most a hurricane and piled the snow
into big drifts, which will doubtless
render the mountain passes still more
difficult to travel.
A very sad New Year had Mr.. and
Mrs. Henry Riepe and their brother
Dick. The only child Of the couple
took sick at 4 O'Clock in the morning
and died at 2 in the afternoon. The
funeral took place Thursday and was
largely attended. The breaved family
have the sincere sympathy Of the
community.
Geo. w. Halstead and John Cher
ardelli came in from Hamilton Thurs
day. Mr.. Halstead's mission to the
county seat at this time was to attach
j.. s. Church's interest in the Selig-
man property. Both gentlemen re-
port from eve to ten feet of snow in
Hamilton and the roads between there
and here are almost impossible.
All the Merrimac Company's opera
tons in Cherry Greek have been sus-
pended by the Sheriff. An attach
ment for $1,000 has been levied on
the property by the Union Iron Works
Of San Francisco. The miners will
file their liens. Nothing more is
likely to be done before Spring, when
the property will change hands.
Cherry seems to be in a hard streak of
luck.

The Salt Lake Tribune says the
State of Nevada is resting under
probably the heaviest blanket Of snow
that she has been blessed with for 20
years. Ancient Joe Farren came in
from Tacoma yesterday and says the
whole region to the West is under a
mountain Of snow. The Ruby Range
towers over the others in a shroud oil
awful white and there is no break in
