an eagle is not in il at all with one oil

eagle. which had been sitting IN the

Rich pry ptrgisx..

The Silver State says: Near Death

some rich gold mines should be
opened. In this canyon rich dry dig
gings were discovered some fifteen
years ago. In 1880 q few men were at
work there. They had no machines
for dry washing, and did not even win
now the dirt by tossing it up in the
wind-Mexican fashion. They simply
dug over the ground with picks, col
lecting such pieces OF gold as they hap
pened to see In this way they made
good wages in ground from two to four
feet deep. Working in this rude way
they found one nugget that weighed
five pounds, and very many worth
from IS to s75. Pieces Of gold worth
about so cents were about the smallest
saved working in this way-''by eye"
With water, or even dry washing ma
chimes, such ground should have paid
immensely. As all the placers in the
great basin region are Of local origin,

At present we hear but little about
these diggings, though there Is always
more or less gold coming from them.

THE AUsTHALIAN BALIOT,

Many voters are laboring under the
Misrepresentation that people may learn
how they vote by comparing the number
against their name 10 the stub book with
the number on the ballot. This is en-
tirely . mistake. Before the ballot is
put into the box. the number is detached.
and by no mark upon it can it possibly
be identified from it's fellows. The fact
that upon each ballot is printed a nun
Der which corresponds with the number
in . stub book. against which the cleo
tion clerk enters the voters rame as he
takes the ballot into the booth to 6ll it
out. has given the impression to many .
voter that some political boss to whom.

He comes out, hands the ballot to the

This all goes on under the voters eyes
