The Austin Reveille is informed by
Superintendent Earles Of the Austin
Mining Company that miners wages
will be reduced to $3 per day to-day.
This reduction Is necessitated by the
great discount on silver. as the prop.
erty cannot be worked unless ex-
penses are reduced. When the price
OF silver goes above q dollar an ounce
wages will be increased. Austin is
ninety miles south OF Battle Mountain
and nearly all the necessaries OF life
are high, but men must work for
what are called low wages there or
the mines will close.

Known Prospector, Has Paid tine
Last Debt ca Mature.
"Doc" Hamilton, who was well
known in this community for the past
twenty years as an energetic pros
pector and a genial and ~wholesouled
man, has passed to the other shore.
He was q nativeo OF Genesee county New
York. He went to California in 1852,
and was for several years engaged in
mining and other business in that
State. In 1859 he kept q hotel and
done q profitable business in Steam
boat Valley, and at n time ran q
hotel somewhere on the east side Of
Huntington Valley in this State. He
drifted to Eureka in 1859, and since
that time has been engaged in mining
and prospecting. He was q steady
reader. a man Of good sense and
more than ordinary ability.
Being OF q kind disposition, he always
made friends. He had no faults that
were injurious to any n but himself,
the only one being the desire for q
good time when he had money, and
Wiltu liz GnlolGt AAAAoCh hD 6tW8Jo
wanted others TO share his enjoyment
SO OF late years he had more
money that he knew what TO do with.
As a tribute to his honesty, his warm
est friends were those with whom he
was associated OF brought into bust
ness contact. He was an energetic
worker and untiring in his ambition to
acquire q fortune that would make
him independent in his old age; but
alas, he overtaxed his strength by lift
ing while working In the Diamond
mine a short time ago. This brought on
hemorrhage Of the kidneys, the third
and last attack Of which was fatal. He
suffered intensely off and on for about
two months, but was vigorous in mind
up the last hour Of his life. At /
o'clock last Thursday morning his suf-
ferings were relieved by death and he
passed to that realm where the "pros-
pects," W hope, are bright and the
richest strikes are OF eternal happi.
ness. Peace to the memory of this
pioneer.

Is Looks ~ ff They Meant Busi.

Messrs. Gibson and Eckerly, of Dem

for the past ten days examining the
Chairman property, are evidently
men Of thorough mining knowledge
and keen business discernment. IN

ton, casually looking ver the field
and going away, these gentlemen have
rome to work and made O thorough
examination both by surveys under
and oyer ground as we'll as by . most
thorough sampling Of the orc bodies
throughout the mines. They have
taken about one hundred samples Of
ore. Some OF these are averaged from
all parts OF the mine, while others are
special samples from the several ore
bodies.
With such thorough tests as will re-
suit from their labors here, they will
no doubt be able to size up the Chain
man property at a fair valuation az 10
now looks, and get a pretty fair idea Of
the merits OF the UNEMPLOYED ground.
In an of-hand conversation with the
gentlemen, the News man learned
that they were we'll pleased with their
visit here and spoke well Of the out
look both OF the Chairman and Jo-
anna mines.
OF course, we are not in q position
to say, and perhaps neither Of the o N
tracing parties are themselves yet,
whether the Chairman is likely to
change hands soon. Valuable prop

The 8. F. Examiner says: The old
feud between Mrs. Bowers, the Washoe
~seeress, and Miss Maria Stacom, the
milliner, cropped up again in court
last week. In the early part Of last
year the milliner sued the fortunetsl-
Ter for 500 damages because she let
the water overflow from the water ba-
sin on the Spring style bonnets below.
The fight in the Justice Court was Q
bitter n and ended in the victory OF
Miss Stacom. Ms. Bowers never got
over 1t, and later on instituted suit
against the millinsr for 10000 dam
ages, all growing cut Of the same wash
basin overflow. 1t was this case that
came up before Judge Finn. It was
nip and tuck for a long while be-
tween the witnesses Of each side, but
the Court finally gave judgment for
Mrs. Bowers for $40.

Redlands, California, is having
trouble with the Australian ballot
system. At a recent election there a
candidate was counted out, although
he had a clear majority Of the votes
cast, because a number Of the votes
for him were marked in red ink in
stead Of with the rubber stamp. No
one doubts that the intention Of the
voters in this Ease was perfectly clear
to the election officers. The question
which is raised is whether the pro-
vision requiring the rubber stamp
mark is no merely directory and not
mandatory. The courts will probably
be called on to settle the matter, and
the sooner ii is legally passed upon the
better will be pleased the people Of
large.

The Eureka and Paiisade Railroad
Company received for shipment to
Salt Lake during the month Of April
l,6l5 tons OF ore from the mines OF this
district, as follows: From the Eureka
Con. mine, 800 tons; Diamond, 359

tons; Jackson, 35 tons; Phenix, 60
and the Mynheer, 81 tons. From
Paul Brothers, lessees, Hamilton,
White Pine county, 10 tons.
Owing TO heavy snow-storms and
bad roads. shipments from the Dia-
mond mine for April we're light. There
is a large quantity OF ore at the mine
already sacked and the teams are
hauling at the rate Of 80 tons per day.
The Bullwhacker mine Is not looking
well and the shipments from there for
May will. it is expected. be light. II
the roads remain in their present on
dition the Hamburg Company will
probably ship 200 tons and the Ruby
Dunderberg Company about $50 tons,
and the total ore shipments for the
month OF May will probably reach
