The Ho~-Fisl..

Whoever planted carp in the Car
son river did a very foolish thing.
The carp is regular hog Of fish,
and eats the food of the other fish
SO clean that there is none left.
Even catfish cannot live where carp
abound, and they abound wherever
planted as they spawn by the mill
ion. Not only do the carp eat up
the fish food, but they devour every
thing else, and actually make it
impossible for water fowl to live on
the river. Fine trout might be
raised in the Carson river below
here now if it were not for these
hog fish, and how to get rid of them
is now what is bothering sportsmen
aud fishermen.

A Cyanide Plant.

The Carson River Dredge Com
pany will soon begin the erection
of cyanide plant to work the con-
centrates that are taken ort of the
river by the dredge. It has been
demonstrated, so we are informed,
that plant of this nature will
work the sulphurets up very close
ly-as high as 50 per cent. AS we
understand it the plant will not be
an expensive one to construct, as it
is composed mainly of number
of large tanks. It is thought that
it can be erected for about 81, 900.
When this is completed the COM
pany will have all the equipments
for taking out the material an put
ting it in a shape SO that money
can readily be derived from it.

Church Dedicated.

Last Sunday was a red letter day
in church circles in Smith Valley.
The new M. E. church was dedica-
ted, it being the first church in the
valley for six thousand years. Rev.
Van Deventer, Supt. of the Nevada
Mission, was on hand, assisted by
Rev. Bolt, Of Antelope Valley. The
church is not quite completed, and
has cost up to the present time ST.
1868. The church was in debt
$113.80, but $1O4.95 were raised by
subscription and $46.50 by collect
ions last Sunday morning and even
ing. This made the total receipts
$15l As, more than enough to pay
what was owing. Smith Valley was
well represented by people, and
many were present from Antelope
Valley, Pine Grove and Mason Val
ley. They all went home in high
spirits to think the church was, SO
far, free from debt.

wood Drive out.

The wood men took out the last
wood of the drive Wednesday of
this week. In all there were 1900
cards. Thursday the men took out
the booms and left for Empire and
Carson. There was only small
portion of Depoali's potatoe patch
used to pile the wood on. and this
damage will probably be settled out
of Court. The boys were paid off
Wednesday, and some little money
was left in town in the way of hotel
and saloon bills, etc. Although the
boys were here nearly two weeks
they only worked eight days and a
quarter, and did pretty rapid work
when they were at it.

Small BEGINNINGS

Make great endings sometimes. Ailments that
we are apt to consider trivial often grow.
through neglect. into atrocious maladies, dan
gerous in themselves and productive of others.
1t is the disregard of the earlier indications of
i'll health which leads to the establishment OF
ali sorts of maladies on a chronic basis. More
over. there are certain disorders incident to
the season, such as malaria and rheumatism,
against which it is always desirable to fortify
the system after exposure TO the conditions
which produce them. Cold. damp and miasma
are surely counteracted by Hostetters stomach
Bitters. After you have incurred risk from
these influences, wineglassful or two OF Hos
letters Stomach Bitters directly afterward
should be swallowed. For malaria. dyspepsia,
liver complaint, kidey and bladder trouble,
nervousness and debility. 1t is the most deserv-
eddy popular of remedies and preventives.

Lyman 60 be sued.

A press dispatch from San Fran
cisco says that Edward S. Spring
intends to sue D. B. Lyman, Supt.
Of the Con- Virginia mine for an
accounting of his stewardship.
Spring owns 10000 shares of Con.
Via. stock and says he does not
want damages, but wants the prop
erty properly cared for and the ring
that now operates the mine broken
up. He says the mine never was
in better condition and that it
ought to be paying dividends right
now. The suit will be brought in
the U. S. Circuit Court of Nevada.

Great press.

This Office received a copy of
Comfort this week which is printed
in five colors. Comfort comprises
"a pages, is the size of Harper's
Weekly, and the press it is printed
on turns out 5000 copies an hour,
in five colors, all folded, pasted and
trimmed by the same press. Comfort
is the first paper TO have one Of
these presses, and it was made by
the R. Hoe Company especially for
this work. The machine cost the
publishers of Comfort, the Gannett
& Morse Concern, something like
100000.

Senator Boyle was down from
the Comstock this week on business
connected with Como properties.
He has bonded the Mt. Como group
of mines to an English company
for $4,000 for six months. On the
10th of this month he will begin
the construction of the tunnel
spoken of to run from the mill in
Palmyra canyon to the North Rap
idan mine. This tunnel, we be-
lieve, will be the salvation of Como.
1t will open up new ground; will
run through two claims of the Mt
Como group of minos, now bonded,
and drain all the mines in that Sec
ton SO that they can be prospected
and worked TO greater depth. The
North Rapidan is an excellent piece
of property, and the old Mt. Como
has produced a good deal of rich
ore itself. All the mines have been
worked down to the water level,
and show good ore at that depth,
but the extra expense of pumping
the water has been SO great that
prospecting below that level has
never been done. The Boyle tun-
mel will drain all this ground and
allow of this work being done to a
depth of over 800 feet.

Thanksgiving day has come and
gone, and in great many homes
throughout this glorious country the
national feast bird-the turkey-has
been devoured according to the time
honored custom and merry making
has been the order Of the hour, while
in hundreds Of homes in this land
the people have barely a crust Of
bread to eat. Yet these same poor
people are called upon to observe
the day as day Of rejoicing and
praise for the blessings bestowed up
on them in the past along with their
rich neighbors who revel in luxury.
1t seems to be almost mockery to
ask these poor people to be thankful,
while on the other hand those people
who should be thankful don't realize
the blessings they enjoy. If the con.
dition Of the people were only more
equal-a little Of the wealth of the
few distributed among the poorer
class-what thankful nation this
would be. And yet, as a nation,
Notwithstanding these conditions S
within its borders, the United States
has much to be thankful for. The
harvests the past season have been
bounteous; our land is tree from the
yoke Of oppression and liberty reigns
supreme; peace and general happi-
ness dwells among the people and
we are at peace with all the world
a striking contrast to many nations.
Why then should we not as people
be thankful for all the blessings and
privileges we enjoy and lift our
voices IN thankful praise to the tune
and words
"Praise God from whom all bles-
sings fow."

Rubinstein and BulOvv,

Rubinstein was undoubtedly inaccu-
rate at times. People who held scores
through those long programmes could
easily find that out. He not only en-.
broidered even Beethoven, but he would
invent Bach. What he invented was
probably quite as good as what he hap
pened to forget and always extremely
interesting. Still, it was not note for
note, and that is what the billiards
gloated over. Bulow was more accu-
rate, but even Bulow forgot or manu-
factured q bar or two occasionally. But
these, il spots, were spots in the sun,
and certainly all Rubinstein did or left
undone serve but to accentuate his in
dividuality and display his genius in
new and startling lights. -Fortnightly
Review.
