A certain man who owns a row of
dwelling houses over in the northwest
quarter of the town has learned wisdom
by bitter experience. A friend CT mine
went to him not long ago to fent one of
the houses, says a Washington Post
man.
"Do you lease it by the month or by
the year?" she inquired. -.

to have on your foors," answered the
landlord. care you going to have

Mission street girl of eight years read
the follow ing essay ON the subject:
VIRTUE IT'S OWN INWARD.
"Once there was poor young
man who was in love with rich girl
whose motler had a large candy
store. The poor young man wanted
to marry the candy lady's daughter
very badly and she wanted to marry
him, but he was too poor to buy fur

Joe Bowers.

The following from the Salt Lake
Tribune will be appreciated by those
who spent time and money in search
ing for Joe Bowers:
@Joe Bowers, who left the Depot
hotel at Elko, New, ON Friday night
of last week, without informing his
friends OF. his intended departure, has
neither committed suicide nor perish
ed I'D the snow as feared. Contrary
to the gruesome surmises of his
friends, Bowers is still very much
alive, and is at present in this city un-
dergoiug treatment for some disorder
OF the stomach. Ihich has troubled
him for some time. Bowers has been
amused at the stories that have been
published with respect to his disap-
pearance from Elho. He ls stopping
with Fritz Reopen" ....
When Bowers came to Elko, he
claimed that he had no money and
expected Sam Wheeler of the firm OF
Wheeler Bros. here in day or two
to pay him Off. On these representa-
tons he obtained money and credit
from several parties in Elko.
1t now appears that Mr.. Wheeler
settled with Bowers and paid him
SITS in Eureka in full of
all demands before Bowers left the re.
Bowers may be very much amused
at the published accounts OF his dis
appearance, but we do no believe that
those who furnished him money and
merchandise while here will extract
much amusement from his skipping
ont. Neither do we believe that
those who spent money and time in
searching for him will be very much
amused after reading the item from
the Tribune.

Mountain City aud IL. rr.d..

Good reports CONCERNING the min
ing outlook at Mountain City are
constantly arriving. .Ed6ardtL. Nc
'Mahan;; the well known miner and
mill man Of Tuscarora, recently Wis.
tied that district and reported so fav-
oIably that funds for the building of
complete custom mill in the early
spring were at once arranged for.
Two properties, sthe Walker Boys
and the Standard have large bodies
OF pay ore already disclosed. De-
velopments on these properties have
been the means Of completely solv-
ing the &faults" which baffled the
early miners. 1t is now claimed by
all who are familiar with them that
1t is only question Of d short time
and the expenditure of com paratively
small sums Of money when all of the
old pay ore bodies will be recovered
and be producing as they did in 1869
and 20. 5.
In addition to these old properties
over twenty veins, 1t is claimed, have
been discovered and opened, during
this last Summer, and Fall, which
show high values in free gold. As
says from these new finds are SHOWN
giving returns from ten to as high as
one hundred dollars per ton in gold.
From these reports and showings it
seems certain that Mountain City
Will In the near future become an
active factor in the business of the
county and will add largely to our
taxable wealth.
The people of the district COM
plain and with good reason, Of the
ban condition of the roads leading
thereto from Elko. The Oregon
Short Line people, ever alert for
business for. their line, are holding
out Inducements for the Mountain
City trade to go to Mountain Home.
Rough lumber can be had at the lat
ter point for 50 per thousand cheaper
than at Elko. Rates are offered on
a plumber of other commodities at
much less than. Gan be obtained here.
The distance from Mountain Home
to Mountain City is only about. tif
teen miles greater than from the lat
ter point to Elko.
Under the circumstances it seems
our merchants and blu sineas men
should bestir the mselves in the, di
rec ion of. obtaining better roads to
Mountain City, in order that the
trade, which promises to equal, il
not excel any of the outlying cam ps
in the county. remain in the county
and State. It is claimed thats by
building ten or twelve miles of new
road from North Fork to Trail Creek
that the distance, by present road 8
can be reduced fully ten miles. This
matter should be Investigated at
once and action taken Immediately.
