Glib Briggs Drsates Into the Prefsss.
ional Ranks.
There was unueusl activity in the
bicycle racing yesterday, with the 70
suit that two Of the best riders Of
Carson will probably be ruled OF the
track. Is they both INDUCED in cash
races. which, when Mr.. Rafferty, hears
Of it. will be suspension, II nothing
worse.
Herman Manthy, clerk ct the Briggs
House. late Of Chicago. with = record
on the wheel. challenged the genial
proprietor. Gilbert Briggs, to race.
Glib 1t first declined ana announced
that Herman could not ride I'VE miles
In sixteen minutes. Herman jumped
ct the bait and put up lump sum Of
cash. The race took place ct the track
in the afternoon and Herman lost by
just twenty seconds.
Later in the evening, Herman chal-
lenged Glib to I mile race, Briggs to
ride . half mile and Herman . full
mile. Glib took up the bet, as he has
quite q rep" as bicycle rider. With
everyone that could get in range the
ride took place. Glib started. and after
riding about quarter as fast as he
could pedal, simply coasted in q
winner. Herman hadn't enough of the
game and after allowing the heavy
| weight to time to recuperate, chal.
lenged him to another race. Herman
rode a mile and Glib ,five-eighths. II
was the same old story. Briggs, with
his splendid physique, was an easy
winner, and Herman is still wondering
how it happened.
1t now transpires that Briggs put
up job, as he has had bicycle al
Alkali lake and has been riding ovel
the sand hills and flats all summer
County Clerk Van Etten heard of the
race and the result and Immediately
made overtures to sign Briggs will
the Carson Wheenmen for the seasons
racing. Briggs has not yet decided t.
accept, as he fears the decision from
the racing authorities, as it is fearet
that Rafferty, Will order his suspen
:. sion. Glib leaves for the mine toda,
in order to avoid any future engage
ments for the time being.

kiystsry Surrounding Identity Of Par.
ties Seeking Control Solved.
The mystery 10 to the parties sup
posed to have been endeavoring to
obtain control Of the Best 4 Belcher
mine by paying gilt-edge prices for
that stock the past six months. and
which has puzzled brokers and min
ing share operators has been solved
through mere accident.
Last week an attorney named Flour
noy visited the C0mstOck and made
inquiries rs to the location Of the
Best & Belcher ground and its con-
tlguity to the Consolidated California
and Virginia.
During . conversation with . we'll
known citizen it developed that the
parties whom he represented are cas-
tern capitalists who had been told .
fairy tale to the effect that the latter
company had extracted many millions
from the Best Z Blecher ground after
the discovery Of the bonanza in Con.
Cal. & Va. in 1875. From this it is in
ferred that the object Of F1ournoy's
clients in obtaining control of Best
& Belcher for the purpose Of bringing
suit to recover from the former com
pany the value of the ore alleged to
have been extracted from the latter.
So careful were tho parties seek.
ing to obtain control Of Best & Bel.
cher to conceal their identity that the
assessments levied, amounting in all
to 60 cents share, we're paid with
coin instead of with checks. which Ii
the usual custom That the tenderfoO1
! spectators will discover that theil
creduility has cost them dearly
should they obtain control of the Gov
eted property, is a foregone conclu
sion, as it is a well-konwn fact thai
no ore of paying value has been
found in Con. Cal. & Va. nearer thar
100 feet north of the north boundary
line of Best & Belcher.-Report.

GENERAL ACTIVITY.
The cemsteek Promises = Bright


Future.
Word comes from the Comstock
that points to . general revival a1l
along the line Supt sharon was SIN
ong the arrivals yesterday. and it
is understood tnat he will commence
active operation In Gold Hill. The
fact that Sutro tunnel IL to be repaired
and placed in first class condition IL
among the items that speaks volumes.
Since the Comstock has installed ell
ectric hoists, the economy has H.
ready shown. This new force win en-
able many II the mines that have low
grade ore to get onto . working basis.
Electricity has done q much a.
anything that could be mentioned,
the means Of putting life into the
mines on the hill.
The late installation of the big
pumps to drain the lower levels shows
what 10 contemplated. The new pumps
lift $500 gallons Of water . minute.
which IL . small river. When this
aIaount Of water il considered, It can
be Inquired the amount Of work that
is(being DONE. The water was lowered
nearly forty feet the first day the Reid
lers were started. This is as much as
anyone can ask for in faw days the
water will be lowered sufficiently
that another level can be worked in.
It is the intention to pump the water
to the 1850 level, where ore is known
to exist
All of this water is raised to the
1850 level, where it goes out the Su
tro tunnel. This is one of the reasons
for repairing the tunnel, as the mines
expect to continue operations.
Whenever the old Comstock takes
on a boom of this nature, the entire
State rejoices in it, as all believe that
the big lode on the hill has not ye'
been dug out When it comes t.
real mining on a big scale, the Com
stock holds the plume.
Utilize the Water.
Since the Reidler pumps started OF
the Comstock, the ranchers along tn
line of the escape water are having
good thing. The water after /
leaves the mines goes through Sutr,
tunnel and at the end of the TUNE
it is utilized to turn a quartz mil,
which is managed by Franklin Leon
ard. After being put to this use, thu
farmers make grab for it and as &
result q number of farms are main
tanned. The mining companies hav'
wared over the water with the farm
ers on a number of occasions, but al
ter it leaves the mine it is pretty har
to corral it. At the present time Their
is a generous flow. The Reidler pump
are handling $500 gallons minute
which menas 100000 gallons an hou
and this in twenty-four hours figure
nearly a million and a half gallon:
A farmer along the line of ditch at tn
present time is in pretty good lucl
A pumping institution of this siz
would make Eagle Valley the creates
on earth. 1t is certainly quantity {
water ard the pumps that handle
are wonders.

Shy on Water.

Lieutenant Governor Allen was am
ong the arrivals of yesterday, coming
from the home ranch in Churchill
county. Mr.. Allen states that water
supply on the lower end of the valley
is extremely shy, and that the farmers
will not cut what they should from
the acreage cultivated.
Lem is of the opinion, that the
farmers on the Upper Carson are us
ing more than their share of water
as the acreage is increasing up the
valley and decreasing down where
he lives. He is of the opinion that
the river at his ranch in a few days
will be completely dry, as it is fall
ing rapidly. On a number of occa-
sions during the past few years the
river has gone as dry as a wagon
road, and it points to the same condi-
ton this summer. The lack of rains
have made the stock ranges extreme
ly dry, which will necessitate the
feeding of cattle earlier than usual.
Lem states that there has not been a
drop of moisture fall in his section
since February, which has made the
ranges and hill feed exceedingly
scarce. In Paradise Valley. Mr.. Allen
states that the dry condition is almost
alarming as the feed and the fields
are as dry as a California wheat
ranch at this time Of the year. Lem,
like the rest of the farmers in the
Churchill valley, are anxiously await
ing the new irrigation canal which is
! headed their way. The big canal is q
sure and before many years he
! declares that that section will be the
most prosperous in the State. Already
hundreds Of applications for land have
been made, which means rapid set.
tlement Of the section. The canal will
pass through LENS land, and he be.
lieves that it will do him no harm.

Harry Fisher PilferS
From His En-
PlOyerS
Plunder Being Found in His
Baggage, he WeakenS and
ConfeSSeS TO Several
TheftS

Harry Fisher, for the past year an
all.around errand boy In the store OF
Joseph Meyers & Sons, was arrested
yesterday afternoon on the charge Of
stealing goods from the store, and last
night he confessed to the pilferlngs,
in the hope of securing leniency by so
doing.
Fisher was given employment by
the firm he robbed over a year ago,
and his work was very satisfactory
until a month ago. when. without no.
tice to his employers. he went to Port.
land for an extended visit, and, as a
result, was discharged For some time
the firm was aware Of pilferings in the
store, but Fisher was not suspected
until recently. Last Sunday he spent
at the ball game, wearing a fine new
overcoat from the stock OF JOS Meyers
q Sons and H. w. Meyers. hearing
that the lad meant to leave Salem.
had him arrested yesterday after.
noon. and a search Of his baggage dis.
closed the fact that the actual thief
had been caught
A search Of the lads trunk brought
forth l6 pairs Of fine half hose:
half dozen fine shirts; a S13 overcoat.
and neckties, tooth brushes and other
fancy articles too numerous to men |
tion. He also confessed to stealing
last winter a lady's silk coat. which
he presented TO his mother. Mrs Anna
Gillen. The goods found in his bag. |
gage. the boy says. he took from the |
store last Friday night, having gained |
entrance by means OF a skeleton key. |
but this is not wholly credited by the |
hrm' as some OF the goods found are |
known to have been taken before that |
date. He probably entered the store |
on Friday night, and the fact that the |
Key was found on his person indicates |
the truthfulness OF that part OF his
confession.
Suspicion is directed to others who
are believed to be implicated with
him, but he denies this.
