The Como District.

The cid deserted mining camp of
Como is attracting considerable atten-
ton of late. 1t has been demonstrat-
ed that the mines there will turn out
to be good gold producers with devel-
opment. Robert Logan has claim
in Palmyra Canyon that shows fine
ledge of quartz that will average 800
per ton and there is ore enough in
sight to keep mill running year or
more. Col: e. d. Boyle has mine
there and is very sanguine over his
prospects He has started tunnel
which will tap the ledge at depth Of
400 or 500 feet. Other mines are
showing up well and all rich in silver
ore, but the low price of that metal
induces the owners to look for some
thing more profitable, and the gold the
ore contains gives much encourage
ment and the outlook is very favor
able for large amount of work to be
done there in the near future.

Sold Bogus Bullion /.

The Bank of California at Virginia
City came near being victimized by a
bogus bullion swindle Wednesday. 1t
bought a bar of bullion from Portu-
guese named Rosas for $1,000, the bar
being stamped by reputable Com
stock assayer as containing $1088 08
of gold and silver. The officers after
ward found it to be worth only SO SO.
In the meantime q man wearing a
very apparent disguise had been ar
rested by the officers and tools for
marking bullion bars were found upon
him. He gave the name of Melon
aid. A further investigation showed
that Rosas had sold the bullion to the
bank for Mcdonald, and possibly did
not know of It's spurious nature. The
scheme was clever one and only mis-
carried by accident. Enterprise.

It was intended that an address of welcome be delivered to the officials of the road in behalf of the city, but the train could stop only a few minutes, con- sequently all ceremonies were dispensed with The Louisville and Nashville pla atform is about completed and opera tions will be commenced on the building of the depot in a few days.

NEEDS THE PRUNING KNIFE.

E Secretary Herbert has announced the finding of the court-martial in the case of Captain Sumner, charged with care 1essness in the docking of the Colum- bia. .ts-s
 The captain is suspended from duty for six months and given waiting orders pay for that period. This is not an oner- ous sentence, per SC, but it carries with it a weight of disgrace. Practically the career or Captain Sumner is closed As far as records go, he is believed to have been 0 conscientious officer, and is enti- tied to some sympathy.
 The, fact is, our navy list is so over grown and promotion so slow that men come to the command of ships after passing their prime. Years of service in subordinate positions unfit men for the exacting duties required of the master spirit of a man-of-war. Generally they are lacking in self-reliance, the prerequi- site of success in any vocation. The navy list needs the pruning knife badly. It is to be hoped Congress will take the matter up and by retirement and other means reduce the service to young and capable men.

ITO RE REGRETTED.

It is matter of regret that the inter- national yacht races were not sailed to a finish. Lord Dunraven is the subject of a great deal of harsh criticism. While his action cannot be indorsed by true sportsmen, it must be conceded that he had some ground of complaint The laws of hospitality and sport were powerless to prevent "hogging' by excursion steamers in the first race, and as the Gjarl pointed out he had no guaranty that such would not occur again. There will probably be no more international yacht races for years to come. The cup will remain here indefinitely. It is a pity that we could not clinch our possession of the coveted trophy by a square, out and-out victory.

The encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic at Louisville closed yes- terday as a pronounced successs. Louis- ville's hospitality was equal to the oe- scasion, the best of feeling prevailed, and barring the Thayer episode, there were none of those unfortunate slips Of speech to embitter the memories of the occasion. E ld is remarkable that accidents were not more plentiful. The explosion of the caisson and the breaking down or the platform constitute the catastrophes.
 The Grand Army men leave Louisville with heightened respect for their South ern hosts and Louisville witnesses the departure of a host of friends who will sound her praises in all quarters of the continent.
 sesIt is safe to predict that invitations from Southern cities will receive full consideration at future encampments of the Grand Army.
