Among The papers and arguments

ent of the Asheville Citizen and of

They seem to beg for q profound
respect for something toward which
the people have begun to look with
suspicion and doubt. In fact these
papers make us think of soma old

DIED OF HIS INJURIES.

Brakeman Mcconnell Of Conductor Rob.
erts Grew met with an accident at Sand
Cut, Q short distance from Pslissde. night
before last. says the Silver State OF Aug.
81, which will probably prove fatal. II is
the usual custom TO double the hill Of that
place and Mcconnell cut the train 10 two
for that purpose. The rear section began
10 move and he reached for the air hose SO
as 70 set the brakes. just as he did so the
engineer, not knowing that Mcconnell
had cut the train. started the front section
back 70 give the brakeman the "slack,"
which is usually necessary to make an un-
coupling. Mcconnell was caught between
the two cars and terribly crushed about
the abdomen. He was taken TO Carlin
and DR.. Hood summoned, the doctor doing
ell he could to relieve the injured mans
sufferings. but giving little hope Of his
survival. Mcconnell was taken TO Ogden
and DR.. Hood accompanied him. He was
recently transferred from the Sacramento
division.
Since the above was put in type we learn
that Mcconnell died on the train before
reaching Ogden.

U MINING n 4

Nevsds City Herald There is prob
ably more demand for young men who
are practical and scientific miners than
in any other profession. Nevada county
boys Of this character are scattering oil
over the world under favorable contracts
for salary and expenses. and the demand
Is increasing every year.
No intelligent miner who understands
bis business need be idle very long. But
mine owners are more exacting than for
merly. They will give preference to men
who understand civil and mining engi-
neering. They expect the Superinsend-
emit to be able to do his own surveying,
mapping and blocking out. Realizing
this fact many young men who are doing
regular labor are nightly studying sub
ects that will ct them for any branch Of
the business. Such young men are going
through q course Of instruction by CORES
pondence with Eastern schools that make
. speciality Of that line of work. The
young fellow with q fair education who
will put in two or three years Of evening
work while learning the practical part Of
the business will ct the end of the time
be competent, and will not lack engage
ments.

OF ore from the property Of the Battle

Jack Give and others, who have been
backing the old Battle Mountain Mining
Company, had finally decided TO 60 upon
the market with their high grade copper
ores. The property, 10 which frequent
reference has been made, has already been
extensively explored. and samples Of ore,
now on exhibition in this city, afford
splendid evidence Of the results Of which
IL lie capable. In addition TO the high
grade ore, IL is said that the company has
several thousand tons Of ore on the dump
which will afford Q nice general average.
and 1t is to be hoped that the plucky pro-
motors have finally sighted the reward 70
which their perseverance entities them.

The Reno Cattle Market.

The following items are taken from the
Gazette Of Aug. rs: One prominent cat
tleman offered another s 40 this morn

cattle. but did not succeed in getting any.
Alvaro Evans and family returned from
Oregon last night. He says be will have
800 head OF cattle arrive in Honey Lake
