 Then what does he want"
 "A hundred strokes with a whip. and he says he will not throw of & single blow"
 The whole company hereupon ran down stairs to see what sort of a fishcr- man it was who demanded so singular u price for his fish.
 These arc beautiful fish" sasd the marquis. Come my man. hcw much money do you want for them?"
 Not Il penny. my lord said the fisherman, "l will not take money. If you wish to take the fish you must order me u hundred lashes on my bare back; otherwise 1 shall apply elsewhere.
 Rather than lose tho fish, said the marquis. we must let this fellow have what he asks. EIeren he eriod. to one Of his grooms pay this man his hundred lashes which aee his honest demand; but don't lay thcn on too hard don't hurt him very mueh.n
 The fisherman stripped fort whip- ping, and the groom prepared to do his masters bidding
 Now. my friend n said the iishet.- man, keep the account correctly. I beg ol you, for I don't want stroke more than is my due
 The whole company wero astonished at the bravery with which the man bore out the operation until he had received his iift'eth lash Thoa ho cried out Hold my fricnd Two had my full share of the price now

 'l have partuer m lord whom promised n full half of whatever got for my fish and 1 think youe lorlship would say that il would be shame fo deprive him of a single stroke
 Who is your partncr?'
 'Your porter. my lord. wao keeps the outer gate. Although bo knew there was to be q feast he refused to admit mo to the grounds until had promised him half of what should get for the fish
 'Ho, ho." said tho marquis, That is the sort of business that is done it the outer gate Is it2 Well. you have had your half Of the pay. and now. in- deed, your partner shall have the other halfn

discovered gold mines IN Nye county:
The news from the gold mines in
the southern part of Nye county is
encouraging. The lodges are said to
be widening as the work of develop
ment progresses, and the ore carries
yellow, metal in paying quantities.
Messrs. MONTGOMERY and Shattuck
are trying to induce capitalists TO take
hold OF some of the mines there. and
it is probable that sufficient sum of
money will be raised for the purpose
OF working the gold mines on a large
scale and in systematic manner.
Prospectors and mihers who have Wis
tied that section Of our county are of
the opinion that strong company
could make the mining properties in
that locality pay handsomely. The
agricultural and horticultural posi-
billtles of that section of Nye are also
Known to be splendid. It could be
made to rival Los Angeles, CAL, if
capitalists could DO induced to sink
artesian wells.
