1t Was Not the Cat.

There was evidently something
unpleasant in the French house
hold in Silver City early one morn
ing the first of this week. When
the Italians who were going to Vir-
ginia with vegetables were passing
the house they we're called upon for
assistance, but they either did not
understand or though the vision in
white that was calling for aid was
ghost, for they did not respond.
Shortly after angry words were
heard, there was a scurrying in the
house, and out through the door
flew an animal about the size of a
cat-but it wasn't a cat-followed
by broom, rolling-pin and frying
pan. Then all was quiet but the
atmosphere, that was very loud;
but the victorious housewife has
the satisfaction of knowing that the
aroma emanating from a skunk is
healthful if it is disagreeable.

The North Rnpidan.

An assessment has been levied
on the capital stock OF the North
Rapidan Mining Company, whose
works are located near Como, in
this county. Those who are now
interested in this piece of property
intend to put some men to work on
it as soon as possible and see if they
cannot uncover some ore that will
pay to work. The mine has pro-
duced some punches of good ore in
days gone by, and it is hoped that
the undertaking of the present
company will prove successful.
The officers of the company are as
follows: President, G. w. Keith !;
Vice President, Chas. Zeigler; Supt.
E. D. Boyle; Secretary, F. c, Lord /;
Treasurer, Bank of Nevada; Di-
rectors, G. w. Keith, Chas. Ziegler,

Yesterday morning, the list, Mrs.
S. E. Cooper, of this place, present
ed her husband with a boy that
weighs twelve pounds. Ed is in
Reno at the present time, but we'll
bet cookie that he will be home
as soon as he learns what has taken
place in h. s home during his alb
sence. This is the first boy that
has made its appearance in the
Cooper family, and Ed will proba-

like coming right back here to take
another chance. Business is moth

small Esluxr I'm SILVER,

Last Wednesday morning about
six o'clock smoke was seen issuing
from the Armory Hall saloon build
in Silver City. The building has
been vacant for some time. 1t was
broken into and the fire was found
to be ina room occupied by Mrs.
Mamie Caravan behind the saloon
building. Mrs, Caravan ran out in
night clothes, nearly sutfocated by
smoke. The bedclothes and bureau
in the room were found to be de-
stroyed and damage done to the
amount of about 800. The fire
boys were out as soon as the alarm
was given and prevented the fire
faom doing further damage. 1t is a
mystery how the fire originated.

A FIae Orchard.

Assessor Brann, who returned
from an official visit to Smith Val
ley this week, says that the pretti-
est sight in that place is the Wy
more orchard. This orchard con-
tains about $500 trees Of different
varieties of fruit, and the trees are
all overloaded. 1t is thought that
anywhere from so to go tons of
fruit will be produced from the or
chard this season. 1t is strange
that some of this nice fruit does
not reach the markets in this vicin-
ity. Here we pay high prices for
infarior California fruit, while, as
we understand, the fruit from the
Wymore orchard will mostlybe used
for manufacturing cider.

a Good Thing to Keep at Hand.
From the Troy, Kansas. Chief.


Some years ago we were very
much subject to severe spells OF
Cholera morbus; and now when we
feel any of the symptoms that usual
ly proceed that ailment, such as
sickness at the stomach, diarrhea,
ETC., we become scary. We have
found Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and DiarrhGa Remedy the very
thing to straighten one out in such
cases, and always keep it about.
We are not writing this for pay
testimonial, but to let our readers
know what is a good thing to keep

Being Dismantled.

All the machinery has been re-
moved from the Ophir mill and the
building will be torn down. A few
men will be kept at work for some
little time yet sluicing out the mill
site and working over the ground
where the mil stood. This mill
had one of the best water powers
on the Carson river, and had the
price of silver remained at decent
figure arrangements would have
been made to operate the mill sew
eral years longer.

Too Old.

Fred Frey, who carried off the
honors at a recent examination for
the West Point cadetship, received
word from the War Department
this week that he is not eligible on

too old. This gives the cadetship
to F. c. Butterfly, of Gold Hill, who
stood next highest on the list and
who is very bright young man.

week who was on trial in the Justice
Court is still the talk of the town
When the eloquent amatuer at

Several ladies in the Court room
fell uron his neck and wept like

Wanted to Honor Him.

Sir Richard Burton was exploring IN

had adopted the disguise of Il NIoham-

well i'll one village that the Inhabitants
formed very high idea of his sanctity.
Naturally he was pluming himself on
his success when the elders came pri-
vately to him one night and begged him
to go away at once.
"Do not the people like me?" asked
Burton, in great surprise.
Indeed they do" was the reply.
1FThey were simply enchanted with his
hcliuess. Indeed, they were consider
ing whether it would not be good
thing to possess his tomb"
Sir Richard made the best of his speed

made HlAeir arrangements for his funeral
he felt snrc, as Artcmus Ward observed,
that "the corpse would be ready
