cence. X. Nassoor, Esq, the gentle

porter. He said that all his theatrical
wonders had arrived, but the camels
and donkeys would not be in town be-
fore the end OF the week. An inven-
tory Of the wonders is as follows: Five
camels. with the sands Of the desert
in their camels-hair covering; eight
donkeys from Damascus, warranted to
have been ridden by Eastern poten-
tates; fifteen men, women and chill
dren to take part with the above in the
celebrated wedding procession, just as

All of the dancers are women. There
are also two musicians from Constan-

including seven girls and four must

concert, and a Turkish theatre troupe.
There are tw~enty-nine people already
here, and twelve more are to come.

Ever since Miss Lizzie Borden was
acquitted of murder by the jury. she
has been socially ostracized. She is
still an object OF attention, whether it
be on the street, in the cars, or at
church. The church people, it is said,
would rather that she would not make
her appearance in the sanctuary. Re
Gently Miss Borden visited the Worlds
Fair, but as she attracted little atten-
ton, she enjoyed the trip greatly.

Another OF Nevadn's Resources.

The Genoa Courier says the Indians
Of that locality had a big rabbit hunt
last week, and laid in a tremendous
supply OF meat for the Winter. In the
neighborhood Of 1000 rabbits were
slaughtered. The members of l.
family brought in nearly 400. and it
wasn't a large family either. The pine
nut crop was short this season, but
jack rabbits are unusually plentiful,
and consequently the red mans pantry
is filed to OVERLOOKING. Neyada's re-
sources are unlimited and unparalleled
in many respects. II the State of Illi-
nois had our jack rabbits, in less than
six months half Of the population Of

The gold produced in California since

yield at present amounts to about $751;
100000 q year, or perhaps 81 1000, 900
more than that OF any other State.
The output has decreased somewhat
in recent years, but the decline is due
not TO any general exhaustion OF the

hydraulic mines, which OF themselves,
turned out something like $40, 900, 900

The Reno Journal asks this pertin-
ent question: Why not, instead of
flooding the country again with worth
less bank bills, coin all the silver that
may be sent to the minis, and if East
ern people do not care to use silver
dollars, issue silver notes redeemable
in such dollars to those who peter paper
to coin? A silver note to-day is as ac-
ceptable to the public as a greenback
and it is always worth its face value in

THE first Of the suspended national
banks in Denver, which closed their
doors on July l, resumed business yes
terday. The depositors II these institu-
tions signed an agreement to accept time
certificates for their deposits, and re-
sumption was thus made easy. 1t
would have been brought about before
had the depositors been more prompt in
accepting the propositions. The trouble
with all the banks that have suspended
has been that depositors would not CO.
operate with the bank officers. Very
few banks in the country would have
closed their doors had their depositors
not pressed them to the wall by making
extraordinary demands upon them at q
time when currency was scarce. So,
when tho question Of opening the doors
Of closed banks comes up. depositors are
slow to respond. At least three Of the
Denver banks would have resumed two
weeks after they closed their doors had
the offered plan Of resumption been &C.
cepted promptly. Depositors have
stood in their own light, for had they
accepted time certificates for their de-
posts such certificates would have
been readily accepted in settlement of
debts, or as collateral for loans, and
thus %depositors would have had their
funds Immediately available. It is to
be hoped that when our Montana banks
are ready to offer inducements for re-
sumption to their creditors their depos-
itors will not stand in the way.
