Good Looking Prospects.

The Aurora and Mt Morgan mines
in Robinson District, recently bonded
by J. b. Williamson from Thomas
Rockhill are showing up fine. In the
Aurora crosscut run 45 feet one way
and 80 the other is all in pay ore. Mr..
Williamson, who Is good judge of
mines, and always backs his judg-
ment with his limited means. feels
confident that these bonded proper
ties will show up sufficient induce
ments Ia command the attention of
men seeking profitable investment be-
fore snow flies. Indeed the present
showing would sell the Aurora for Il

The Races.

On the 9th of July a large number
OF the fun-loving public went up to
the race track, situate about two miles
above town, to witness the races ad-
vertised by the Ely Jockey Club.
The first event was race of 1000
yards and repeat for a purse Of $3.50,
In which A. II. Watson's horse,
"Brown Dick" and w. G. Lyons
horse, "Monitor" entered. The first
heat was close-"Monitor" winning
by a length. The second heat "Mon-
itor" won easily, taking the race and
money.
Then followed a quarter-mile dash
for saddle horses, in which there
were four entries. blanche" enter
ed by w. r. Bassett; "Billie" by
Willie Watson; "Spicler" by Lew
Carpenter; Crank" by Mcdonald 81
Harris. This proved close and ex-
citing race, but Frank" proved a
winner by short neck.
On the 9th there was a free for all
dash of half-mile - purse $200-in
which two horses entered-Lew Car
penter entered his horse, "Baldy
Sackett" and Wilson (from Ruby
Valley his horse "Bill." After a
good deal of delay the horses got
away with a good start, "Bill' leading
TO the quarter and from there TO The
finish. This proved a hard contested
race, "Bill" passing under the wire
half a length ahead Time, 0:53---
much to the disgust of some of our
local sports who had backed "Sack-
ett'' heavily in the pool box.
The next event was foot race---50
yards between Whitlock, Howard,
Taylor and A. McQuiLty, which
proved an easy victory for McQnitty.
This ended the programme and the
crowd slowly dispersed, well pleased
with the manner in which II was
conducted. We congratulate the Ely
Jockey Club on the fair and impair
tial manner in which the races were
run. There was not solitary "kick"
from any quarter.

Attracting Attention.

The Peacock mine In Lone Tree
Pass, just across the valley, is just
now attracting more attention than
any mining property in this section
has for a long time. Every one who
sees 1t is impressed with its merits
and the great promise its indications
hold out of looming up as the biggest
mine mot the richest) ever discovered
In this section of the State. Hon. A.
c. Cleveland, who is generally a
"bear" in mining matters, went over
to see it few days ago, and Cleve
likes IL. If some OF those ComsLock
mining men could be induced to
come aud see the Peacock, they would
not not leave without securing the
property. It's going to be "a big
thing, and the longer its owners hold
on to it the more money it will bring.

Dsils.r District In Eiko County

Chris. Delker has been in town for
several days. Chris has been pros
pecting in the Butte range and
brought with him some rich speci-
mems of gold, silver and copper ores.
The district which bears his name is
situate about ten miles southwest of
Sprucemont in Butte Valley, Elko
county. The three principal mines
of the district, of which he is owner,
are the North Star, Lone Star and
Black Jack Logan. The formation
is porphory, slate and granite. The
ore goes largely in copper, but also
carries free gold and silver. Assays
made from the rock give As per cent.
copper and $22 dollars in gold. The
lodges are 100 feet wide and Delker
tells us he has 5000 tons of ore in
sight. The mines are easily accessi-
BILE by good wagon road. Like
most prospectors, Mr.. Delker is poor,
and he is now rustling to interest
some one with little capital TO come
to his assistance and help him put his
ore on the market. To such a party
he will give the offer of most liberal
inducements. Chris is a good miner
and an excellent judge of minerals.
There may be fortune In 1t for the
party who gets in.

THE FOURTH AT osoEoLA
How Our Neighbors Across the Range
Celebra ted the Natal Day.
OsCEoLA. July 5, 1890.

OsCEoLA, July 5, 1890.
ED. NEWS: With your kind per-
mission l will make an effort to give
The public a brief description of the
lifting manner in which The Fourth
OF July was celebrated in our little
town.
AT an early hour the discharge of
guns and other manifestations of Joy
heralded the coming of the nations
birthday and on going out we found
the streets lined with evergreens and
the Stars and Stripes floating in
the breeze from every house-top,
presenting beautiful appearance,
and awaking in every heart the fire
of liberty and love OF country.
Before 10 O'Clock many convey
ances had arrived from Spring and
Snake Valleys, both of which places
were largely represented in our cele-
bration. At 1890 A. NJ. we and our
guests repaired to the picnic grounds
which were beautifully situated
mile from town, and upon which was
erected lovely arbor to afford the
elder people pleasant spot in which
to indulge in social chat, while the
young people strolled leisurely in
groups and found shelter from the
burning sun beneath the turning will
lows with which the grounds abound,
and the little ones amused them
selves with fire crackers and numer-
Gus games. At noon the tables were
moved under the arbor, where
bountiful and appetlzing lunch was
served to all.
In the afternoon refreshments of
various kinds were passed around,
and at p. NJ. the jolly crowd COM
menced to disperse and seek some
quite place where they could all
enjoy a quiet rest before preparing
for the evenings entertainment.
The fireworks in the evening were
grand success and could not be
surpassed in beauty anywhere.
At 1880 p. NJ. the doors OF the hall
were thrown open and exposed to
view an artistically decorated room,
the arrangements of which could not
help pleasing as well as charming
the eyes OF all. On the wall opposite
the door was arranged IN the form of
horse shoe the words "Welcome
ALL" and underneath a picture of
the Presidents, all surmounted by
flags and evergreens.
At 0 o'clock the Grand March, COM
posed of thirty couples, tripped mer-
lily to the sweet strains of yiolins and
organ, and from then until supper
time there was but little intermission
between dances. At 12 o'clock all re-
paired to Mrs. Oldfcld's dining-roo m,
where magnificent supper was served
to appreciative guests, and at its close
she was deemed by all agenial hostess
and excellent cateress. Soon after
supper dancing was again resumed
and kept up until the approach of
daylight warned the merry dancers
that it was time to be making pre-
parations for home, and soon carriages
conveying away weary occupants to
places of rest could be seen going in
all directions.
Thus ended one of the pleasantest,
if not the most elaborate, celebration
that has ever taken place in this part
of the country. The whole affair was
given under the auspices of the ladies
of Osceola and was socially grand
success. A LADY READER.

The Truth About a Boy.

He comes out at the front door,
bright-faced and happy. He comes
out for no particular reason, save
that he wants to be moving about.
He is full of physical action, and
must get some of it out of him before
bed time. or he won't be fit to sleep.
He doesn't know this with his head,
but his body knows it; for, after all,
the body does a good deal of its own
thinking independently Of what we
call consciousness. He stands on the
steps and looks up and down the
street. He doesn't know what he is
looking for. Indeed, he Is not look
ing for anything. Hejust looks with
a sort of underlined hope that he will
see something suggestive to him of
what to do. He jumps down the
steps and goes to the gate, hangs on
it a moment. makes few sounds
with his voice such as nobody but
boy can make, and nobody else would
make if he could. They don't mean
anything. He makes them because
well, because he is boy. AS if he
had suddenly thought of something
to do, he bangs the gate open and
rushes down the middle of the street
yelling like young Indian. But he
has not suddenly thought of some
thing to do. He has simply done
that because he couldn't think of
anything to do, and must do some-
thing. Then he picks up stone and
fires it at dog, and cringes and feels
sorry if it hits the mark. He doesn't
want to hurt the dog. He throws
the stone because he and the dog and
the stone are there. and it is handy
to do so. For few seconds he stands
and looks up into tree at-nothing.
Then he breaks into run again, and
suddenly sits down on the curbstone
as if he had accomplished something
and was content.
