friend in bed with his wife. AS all
parties interested belong to the 400

EIOped.

Miss Ethel Hardin, the youngest
daughter of Col. Hardin, the cattle
man, eloped from Santa Rosa, Cal,
on the 4th with young drug clerk
named G. B. Pooler, and the couple
left San Francisco for St. Louis,
where Pooler had secured lucrative
position. The young people have
loved for some time, but the girls
parents would not consent to the
marriage. She has probably done
better than if she had been sold to
a Count or Duke.

The Ross Case

The case of Lyon county VS.. Mrs.
Della Ross, was in the District
Court at Dayton last Wednesday
where it was argued on demurrer to
complaint, before Hon. A. E.
Cheney. This is the case in which
the county fathers sold town lot
in Yerington at private sale in
Sept. 1894 to Mrs. Ross for 1892
taxes, delinquency and costs, when
the property was considered to be
of much more value, and was not
advertised for sale according to law.
The suit is brought by the county
to have the deed set aside on ac-
count of the sale being made con-
trary to law, leaving cloud on the
title. The demurrer in this case
was overruled and defendant given
until 2 o'clock of same day to pre-
pare and file answer. Answer was
filed and plaintiff filed demurrer to
answer which was argued by re-
spective counsel and on consider
alton by the Court the demurrer to
answer was sustained and defend
ant given ten days in which to file
an amended answer.

Decided Against Cutting.

The Supreme Court has handed
down its decision in the mandamus
suit of Cutting vs.. LaGrave, the
State Controller. The suit was
brought to compel the payment of
his salary as Superintendent. of
Public instruction and Curator of
the Museum. The Court denied
the writ on the ground that his sal
airy was only@$1, 900 a year, and he
had already overdrawn it.

A TUNNEL TRIP.
A Merry Party Visit the lower Work
ings and 60 Through the CemstOcl
Tunnel.

A Merry Party Visit the Lower Work
ings and 60 Through the CemstOck
Tunnel.
It was my good fortune to be one
of a party of fifteen, Of Virginia
young people, that recently took a
trip through the Comstock Tunnel.
The trip was planned by Miss Car
RE Crosby, in honor of her friend
Miss Herzog, of Sacramento. We
met at the c. e.. G. shaft at the APP
pointed time, and after being care
fully arranged on the cages, were
quickly lowered to the 1850 station,
tunnel level. There we were met
by Miss Sadie A. Leonard and Mr..
James M. Leonard, daughter and
son of President Franklin Leonard,
of the Comstock Tunnel Company,
and by Mr. and Mrs. Harry v.
Clinton. After greetings with Mr..
and Miss Leonard and congratula-
tions to Mr.. Clinton and his bride,
we were soon comfortably seated in
the large shift car drawn by the
faithful mule Fannie" which was
in waiting. We first proceeded
north about one half mile into the
hot chambers of the north lateral,
and then returning passed the c. &
G. chutes, Obiston, Curry, and Mint
drifts to the junction, then going up
the South lateral we passed the
Savage, Hale and Norcross and
other drifts and stopped at the
Chollar mine. After the distant
rumbling that we heard was ex-
planned to us by our jolly driver
Gas the axis of the earth which need
ed oiling," we went through the
drifts to the dynamos, where cleo
tricity is generated to run the Chol-
lar mill and furnish light for Virgin
la City. There we saw the Giraffe
and Chollar incline shaft, then 60
ing back to our car, we returned to
the junction, and thence through
the Main Tunnel to Sutro, distance
of four miles, stopping now and then
to see some point of interest. We
viewed the great Combination shaft,
which is upwards of $500 feet deep,
the famous bulk head, hell's gate,
Zadig drift, Silver Star lode and
Air Shaft Number 2. Arriving at
the mouth of the tunnel we were
met by President Leonard and cor
daily invited to the mansion. There
we danced and dined to our hearts
content and spent very pleasant
evening After a cheerful farewell
to our host, we again returned to
our car and started on the return
trip. Our leader. Mr. Clinton, who
has been in the employ of the Tun-
mel Company for several years,
could encourage cornet even more
skillfully than he did the mule and
the tunnel rang with music and
mirth. On reaching the shaft, we
said good night to our friends who
had accompanied us again through
the tunnel and quickly vanished
upward from their sight, all voting
the trip one long to be remembered.
