Gilbert Briggs, A. G. Pratt and others
have promising prospect near Lake
View in Ormsby county. The Carson

ing is going on. and enumerates
dozen promising claims which are be-
ing looked after. The Ne,os says the
smelter which Gardnerville and other
Carson Valley people are about to erect
will prove stimulus for development
work and Ormsby county will con-
tribute not a little ore to that institu-
ton which is to be in operation by the
first of April.
We hardly expected it, but you can't
always tell when sinners are ripe for
punishment. Yesterday Rev. Rankin
walked in, casting an irregular shadow
on the floor, pale martyr to a bloom
ing countenance. AS he leaned up
against the abutments of misery it re-
minded us that only last week the
scribe reclined on the rocks of retribu-
ton supporting in despair phiz re-
sembling full moon in August, from
the same cause-extraction of teeth.
Avoiding nosegays and all flowers of
speech, it is probably safe to say that
it is an indication of hard winter
when the flower of the land blooms in
December--such flowers of light and
learning. But the consoling thought
comes to us that brilliant flowers are
pale, often have thorns, and the flowers
of mercy, nurtured by hardship, are
the most beautiful in the universe.
