No Foundation.

The item published in several papers
in the State to the effect that the farm
ers Of this valley held a meeting and
resolved to pay haying and harvest
hands only $l5 per month this year,
has no foundation in fact. There has
been considerable talk about a reduc-
ton in wages, but no one has thought
of paying less than 81 a day to harvest
hands. Heretofore the farmers have
paid 81 so. II help is plentiful this
Summer it is probable that the men
will be asked to work for 81, but il
hands are scarc the old price of 81 80
per day will doubtless PREVAIL

LEAVING TAYLOR.

From Thos. II. Sillyman, OF Taylor,
who was in Ely Saturday last, We learn
that j. G. Benson, Charley Peck and
Calvin Warlick have taken up forty
acres of land adjoining Bakers ranch
in Snake valley where they purpose
passing their declining years. All are
making arrangements to get out OF
Taylor except Frank Wayne. who will
probably remain and hold the town
down. Taylor would make q first-class
object lesson. The Argus Is the best
silver mine within radius Of q hun
bred miles-has produced q million
dollars in silvs-yet the town that
sprung up because OF it and other
mines, has been given up to the bats
and owls and now only serves to
awaken memories. White Pine News.

Ludicrous Mistakes Made by Per-
sous Unfamiliar with nc.

sons m Win liz.
Some OF the technical terms in use
among miners and mining men are
rather misleading to persons from the
purely agricultural sections Of the
county and occasionally are the cause
OF amusing misconceptions. Thus a
Mrs. Matthews Is, who was on the Com
stock in the early days, imbibed a
strange notion Of the donkey pumps
that we're then beginning to be put in
use in the underground regions of the
mines.
She remained here a year or two
and when she returned 10 the Atlantic
States published a book descriptive Of
the mines and life in Nevada. In her
book Mrs. Mathews came to grief when
she tackled the donkey pumps. She
said: "Down on the lower levels Of
all the big mines, hundreds of feet be-
low the surface, they have donkey
pumps; but how they got the donkeys
down into the mines / could never find
out"
About the same time there was q
good old lady from "sway down East"
who was running q boarding-house on
the Comstock. She was a fine motherly
old woman and took much interest in
the miners who boarded with her,
trying hard to understand what they
said about their work. One evening
she heard some Of the men who were
at supper speaking Of being very tired
because Of the trouble they had that
afternoon packing q plunger."
ia, you dew look tired" said the
old lady. "How far did you have to
pack it?"
"From hi to breakfast, madame"
said one OF the men.
The good old woman held up her
hands and retreated to the Kitchen
Enterprise.

Swallowed Her Dead Husband.

The only case On record Of a discon-
ISOLATE widow swallowing the remains
of her dead husband is that OF Arte-
mesia drinking a glass OF wine in
which the ashes Of Mausolus bad been
stirred for that purpose. The parties
to this remarkable transaction we're
brother and sister, and also husband
and wife. Mausolus was King Of
Cara, and reigned about 300 years be-
fore Christ. After his death his re-
mains were burnt and the ashes dis
posed OF as related.

They had a splendid lunch with them
also candies, nuts, oranges, etc. They

Telling Trees by Electricity.

A very successful trial has been
made in Sweden to fell trees by
means OF electricity. The process is
very simple, and consists in passing a
platina wire round the stem OF the
tree and heating it to a glow, cutting
through the same much in the same
way as n would divide a piece Of
soap with Irvine. One Of the chief
advantages is that the cut end of the
log being burnt gives the log q better
quality.

Paper Houses.

The New Era says the first paper
houses TO be built in the State are in
course OF construction on the borax
fields near Loyelock. The frame will
be wood but the roof and sides will be
paper. The paper is specially pre-.
pared and when in position, is air tight
and dust and water proof. The cost
Of a paper house is less than that Of a
tent, while at any time rustic and
shingles can be place over the paper if

Low Rates ON stock From Cali.
fornfa.

The stockowners in the drouth.
stricken valleys Of California are seek
ing pasturage for their 1ocks and herds
in Nevada and Utah, and il is proba.
bic that all the available ranges in
Nevada will be occupied this season.
The San Francisco Chronicle says: A
train Of 100 ears Of sheep was moved
out OF the San Joaquin valley yester-
day, and for the next few weeks SINH
lar trains will follow one another as
rapidly as possible. The lack Of rain
has dried up the pasturage in the
whole Of the Salinas valley and on the
western side and upper end Of the
San Joaquin valley. In fact, q line
drawn through Monterey due east,
would have on it dried up pasture
lands. This same line continued
through Nevada would have to the
north Of 1t all the finest pasture in that
State and Utah.
No such fine pasturage has been en-
joyed in Nevada and the Montana
territory in years. There is, in fact,
much more feed than cattle to consume
it. Last year these pastures lay idle
for three years ago the fearfully severe
Winter killed the cattle in thousands
and destroyed the pasturage. Now,
however, the lands have fully re-
covered.
In view Of the drought in this State
the Southern Pacific Company, in
order to save the cattle, is carrying
them from the San Joaquin and Sail
mas valleys at a trihe above the actual
cost Of labor and fuel. Hitherto the
rate per carload has been from 500 to
$125 now it has been put down from
$25 to $50 per car.
There vast tracts OF land which are
used for nothing else but p~astursge, al
for instance the Rancho Grande, near
Wells. 100 miles by 200 miles in area.
The Central Pacific has tracts as large
az 80 200 acres, and there are many
others capable of saving from starva-
ton twice as many cattle as there are
in the two dried-up valleys Of the
State.

rHE CASE.


vsnghn Go he Argued fn June.
The Austin Reveille says: After
the finding on Monday Of Alfred
Vaughn guilty OF murder in the first
degree for killing Willie Lister last
December, the news soon spread over
Austin and the general sentiment was
that the jury had found a proper YER
diet. The crime for which the defend
ant was convicted was the killing OF
Willie Lister the l6-year old son OF
William Lister, by shooting him with
a Winchester rife, on Listers ranch
in Boone Canyon, Lander county. on
the 2Sth OF December, 1898, at which
time the defendant also killed John
Lister, the l9-year old brother OF
Willie, for which an indictment still
stands against the defendant. Alfred
Vaughn was ~21-years old some months
ago, and was born in Austin; and his
father is 20 years of age, and his
mother so. he has three brothers,
Frank H., Charley and Harry.
At 7 O'Clock Monday evening the
Court convened and attorneys for de-
tense moved the Court for time to OBJ
tain record from shorthand reporter
before arguing motion for a new trial,
and after considerable discussion the
Court set the time for argument OF mo-
ton for new trial June IL, 1894 on the
ground that he had to go to Belmont,
Ely and Eureka to hold Court, and
that the reporter cannot prepare
record for counsel SO that the argu-
ment could take place before that thine.
After setting the time as above stated
Alfred Vaughn was remanded to the
Sheriff, and the Court took recess till
June IL.
