Gone to His Rest.

A sad and lamentable death occur
red on Berry Creek last Saturday
morning. Arthur Moore, who has
for several months past been working
on copper claim in the Duck Creek
range OF mountains about % miles
east OF Ely, died under deplorable
though inevitable circumstances.
The deceased has not been perfectly
rational for several years, and last
Friday morning during the breakfast
hour John Berry and Chris Disregard
who were working with Moore no.
ticed that all was not right with him,
that hls conversation was Eighty and
incoherent, and his movements
strange and decidedly irrational. Az
ter breakfast, however, he seemed to
have recovered somewhat, and went
down in the shaft and went to work.
Disregard who was working the wind
lass says that Moore worked all right
for about half an hour, wheen he sud-
denly ceased, placed the pick and
shovel in the bucket and ordered it
hoisted. Mr.. Disregard did as he was
told, and after emptying the bucket
lowered it and told Moore to get in
and he would pull him up. This
Moore refused to do. saying that he
was through work and was going to
remain in the shaft. Mr.. Ostergard
tried to reason with him and used
every persuasion possible to induce
him to come up but all to no .pur-
pose. Moore had possession of the
shaft, and was by this time wildly in
sane and stubbornly refused to come
up or allow anyone to go down where
he was. In the meantime Berry had
been dispatched for assistance. and
Mr.. Disregard thinking that, left to
himself, Moore might come up, aband-
oned the shaft. 1t was several hours
before help arrived, and when Berry
and Disregard, reinforced by Mr.. X.
C.gDayis and Mr.. A. II. Stearns, re.
turned to the shaft, Moore was found
resting on his knees with his face on
the ground, in an insensible condition.
He was taken out of the shaft and
everything possible done to revive
him but without avail. He was past
recovery, and breathed his last about
six hours after being taken out of the
shaft. Deceased was native Of Vir.
ginia and 5S years of age. The in
terment took place Sunday morning
at half past ten.-White Pine News.

Uncle Jack Abel Hurt.

Uncle Jack Abel was badly hurt
last Saturday afternoon while COM
ing from his Island Mountain mine.
He and Mr.. Richter were driving
along short distance the other side
of Mr.. Hugh Martins place when one
of the buggy wheels struck a rock,
throwing Mr.. Abel to the ground,
bruising his right shoulder and side
and fracturing two Of his ribs. Mr..
Richter stopped the team and went
back to where Mr.. Abel lay and found
him unconscious. On recovering
consciousness, Mr.. Richter lifted him
into the buggy and drove to Mr.. Mar
tins where they stayed all night.
Mr.. and Mrs. Martin were untir1ng in
their efforts to relieve Mr.. Abel's
suffering and the next morning he
was able to start for Elko, arriving
here last evening about 7 o'clock.
A reporter found Mr.. Abel in bed
to-day feeling pretty sore, but as
bright and cheerful as one well could
be under the circumstances.

An EnterprlsIng INDECENT,

A man with unmitigated gall made
one of the quaintest propositions to
the County Commissioning that we
have heard Of for some time. The
man is an INDECENT who, from time to
time, has been receiving aid from the
county. He lives in his own house,
but being unable to do much work,
has been given orders for groceries
and the like. He made an application
to the Commissioners last week to
have his house shingled, representing
that unless this was done he would
suffer during the coming winter. His
proposition was that the county
should buy the shingles; that he
should put them on and that the coun-
ty should pay him for his work.-En-

An Automatic Machine Operated By
h Rolling Waves.
A simple device for distributing oil
on rough water is meeting with adop-
ton among British ship owners. The
arrangement is practically automatic,
taking advantage as it does Of the
rise and fall of the vessel TO create an
air pressure, by. means of which the
oil is forced from the reservoir and
mixes with the. sea. Briefly. a tank is
placed in a convenient position at the
fore or: after end of the vessel, above
the. water line, and is about three
parts filled with oil, tire. remaining
space acting as an air reservoir. In
connection with, and passing through
this tank is a tube. the lower end Of
which lis carried as far down as pos.
'sible, and is open to the sea, the upper
part being fitted: with an all. valve tc
admit of the air pressed up by the
column Of water passing into the re-
serveir. In connection with the main
tube an. additional air tube is fitte1
Immediately under. tho water line,
which, when the vessel rises, admits
air into the main tube, and by means
uf a valve prevents its escape: The
air is acted upon by the column of
main tube by the pitching Of. the YES
sci, and a pressure of five to six
pounds can easily be obtained, which,
acting upon the air stored in the re-
servoir, elects the oil through the dis
tributing pipes to the sea.-London

Criminal wantedsto Give His Watch
to the Of1cer Who Arrested Him.
The influence of Sherlock Holmes
seems to have spread among the Grim
inal classes. AS a rule, convicted
swindlers do not have any especial
feeling of gratitude toward, the de-
t~ectives who run them to earth, but
there is one English sinner, who goes
under the name of Dean, who seems
to have a just regard for the efici-
ency of the police force. At the con-.
clusion Of his trial in Manchester the
other day, just after he had been con
victed and the Justice, in words Of
severe condemnation, had pronounced
an extended sentence upon him, Dean
addressed the cortland asked permits
sion to bestow his gold watch and
chain, together worth, as he said,
more than ESQ, upon the detective who
had arrested him.
Deans little speech was concluded
after th1e fashion: This brave fellow
deserves such a present, seeing that
he has succeeded where more than
half of his brother officers have failed
within the past year and a half"
Naturally the court refused to allow
the present to be made;. and as the
prisoner was led away he shook his
head sadly, and exclaimed: "It is
shameful for the English that the de-
tectives, who serve them &c well,
should be rewarded SO poorly."-New
