the American Princess.

An exchange says that q lady who
has had some experience with foreign
courts says that as the Princess Colon
na is an American she will have the
sympathy OF nearly all our people. II
is certain that the Princess Colonna
will have all the protection interna-
tional law provides for women who
voluntarily denationalize themselves.
The fact that the title of princess was
the bait held before her eyes is imma-
terial. Being the daughter OF a woman
who had become a multi-millionaire
through the generosity Of the American
government there were especial reas-
ons why she should have remained
true to the country OF her birth. When
she voluntarily became the subject Of
Italy the American people ceased to
regard her as one OF them. The entire
army Of the American ~princesses are
in the same fx.-Silver State.

stay Away From butte.

A recent letter from an old resident
Of the Comstock, now located at Butte
City. Montana, says there are a great
many miners there IRON this place out
OF work, and he advises all who con-
template going there to stay away.
He writes that everything is unusually
dull and that fully one thousand men
are idle. He says that Comstockers
now there have only one object in view
and that is to get back to the old lode.
The weather is much colder than here,
and although it is a big town every
thing is overdone, and the cost of liv-
ing is much higher than on the Com
stock.-Virginia Enterprise.

A Head for Business.

A Haverhill man, says the Boston
Globe, in order to impress business
methods on his son early in life, told
the youngter that il he would see that
the gas bill was paid before a certain
date each month he could have the
discount for himself. The Haverhill
youngster took very kindly to the idea
and captured the discount each time
the bill came in. To his fathers sur.
prise. however, the gas bill began to
increase at a remarkable rate. He
found one night that his son was burn
ing gas all over the top Of the house
from 10 o'clock until 6 the next morn
ing. The youngster had become a Ma.
poleon Of finance and had discovered
the fact that the bigger the bill the
bigger the discount.

JUDGE w. M. sEAwELL DEAD.

The death OF Judge William NJ. Sea-
we'll is announced in the San Francisco
papers as having occurred in that city
on March 6. Judge Seawell was among
the early arrivals on the Pacific Coast
and made his home in this State for
many years, where he was an honored
member OF the Bar and held in the
highest esteem by his associates, not
more on account OF his profound legal
knowledge than for his probity OF char
scter and exemplary life.
He served one or two terms as Judge
OF the Third Judicial District of Ne
vada, which included the counties Of
Lyon and Esmeralda. He was the
nominee OF the Democratic party for
Supreme Judge in 1888, but was de.
feated by Judge Murphy. Judge Sea-
well at that time had valuable mining
interests in Esmeralda county, in the
vicinity OF Aurora. About N year
after his defeat for Supreme Judge he
removed to San Francisco.
Deceased was a native OF Virginia,
aged go years. He leaves three daugh-
tiers, Misses Fannie, Jennie and Susie
Seawell, who have the warm sympa-
thy of a host OF Nevadans in their be-
reayement.

ED. COURIER: j. w. Willsey, Post
master at this place, was badly injured
yesterday by a missed blast exploding
while he was preparing it for reload
ing. Nothing was known of the acct
dent until he failed to come home at
the usual time. Then several started
to his assistance, but nothing could be
found Of him, except blood stains,
commencing at the face OF the drift
where he was working and extending
40 rods or 80 on the trail towards his
home. The night being dark it was
impossible to trail him farther, and we
could not find him until this morning,
when he was found on the face OF a
precipitous cliff on the face OF North
Mountain, where a bird could scarcely
GO. II he had gone two feet farther he
would have gone over a p~recipice OF 40
or 80 feet. We brought him to town.
We fear that both eyes are gone and
both arms broken. His hands and
face are lacerated beyond recognition.
Yours, respectfully, w. X. NORRIS.

Commissioners, arrived here last Mon

HelhY

Frank Matthews, a resident OF this
place, who secured the privilege OF
working over the dirt and refuse at the
old Selby Smelling Works in San Fran
cisco, has evidently struck a bonanza.
The San Francisco Bulletin, in speak
ing Of the matter, says: Judging from
the appearance OF the bullion, chips,
buttons and other material already
gathered, Mr.. Matthews has struck a
good thing. The total product, which
represents less than two weeks work,
is worth about 81, 700, and the total
value of the dirt on the site of the
works is estimated at from $l2 900 to
$4,000 or $4,000. Mr.. Matthews
chuckles a little when he recalls the
fact that he paid only 5000 for a three
months privilege to work the dump.
