cents for it. When he presented it at

that he had no intention of dancing, and
would take care of his hat himself.

had no time, to argue with Murphy, and

coat collar and forced him into the

Dan D,Quille writes as follows to the
Salt Lake Tribune: The general out
look in Nevada is good. In the eastern.
central and southeastern sections OF the
state more valuable discoveries OF gold
have been made during the past six
months than anywhere else on the Pacific
coast. Heretofore our people have
been at work In and about the old silver
camps where the first towns were built,
and have not done much prospecting for
gold, now however, having been compelled
in self-defense to strike out 10 search OF the
yellow metal, they have discovered that
there are in the state several rich and
extensive gold belts. Also IL was round
that these belts are not only rich IN
gold-bearing quartz but paying placer
diggings besides, the existence OF which
had ne YER until recentlv been suspected.
These gold mines do not help as much
here in Virginia City, but wherever they
exist they are giving the people a
great deal of good money and are q
general help to the state. People who
are able to go out and dig gold are not so
! easily starved out. Our nearest ex-
clusively gold camp is Camp City, five
