works at mining in the bed of his creek
with very profitable results. He had. be-
side the nugget yesterday, a flask con-
tanning a considerable amOunt of g0ld
dust, also the product of his ranch. The
gold which NovOcOvitch brings to town
is some of purest found in Nevada,
being worth $40 per ounce. It is not
unlikely that at some future day the dis

particles in NOvocOvitch's creek are

Allen bragg of the Reno Gazette, has
served a protest on the County of Washoe
as a taxpayer against the payment of
more money to Commissioner Beck on
the ground that Beck owes 800 to the
county for an unpaid fine imposed some
months ago for banging a man over the
mead with a crib board in a row over a

The law provides that no one can draw
money from the county when he owes
the county a debt. Bragg has also filed a
