SUNDAY EASTER EXERCISES.

There was never so many flowers
in the Methodist church before as
there was last Sunday for the exer-
cises given by the Sunday achool
children. There were lilies and roses
and many other varieties of beauty
and fragrance were in great profu-
sion upon and about the platform.
The church was also prettily decor
ated with streamers of white tissue
paper and an Easter ball.
We doubt to if the church was ev-
er so crowded as it was at the service
Sunday evening all the chars that
could be placed in the room were fill
ed and many that could not find seats
stood in the rear of the building and
some about the door outside. The
exercises were quite long, but The in
terest never diminished and as each
little tot" took their place upon the
platform and performed their part
they were greeted with pleasant
smiles of anticipation and some anx-
iouo glances by teachers and parents,
but the smaller they we're the more
creiitably were their exercises given
or was it because the audience
overlooked any little faults-and had
it not been in the church their ap-
pearance would have been greeted
with rounds of applause especially
that of the "tiny ones"
Space forbids seperate mention of
each exercise, suffice it to say, the
children did credit to themselves,
and their teachers and may the SEN
timents expressed by them in the ex-
ercises Sunday night be cherished in
their memory's book and come to
them as they turn over the pages Of
their future life.

Olinghouse Mines on S. P. Ground

The Olinshouse mining district
which has been attracting a great
deal of outside attention, on account
of the stories of riches emanating
from there, is tied up and indications
that long series of legal battles
will be ne cessary to clear the titles
to the mining lands.
The Southern P acific railroad COM
pany claims that the proprietary
right to the lands is vested in them,
as a number of years ago they secured
most of the lands comprising Oling-
house mining district through lieu se-
lections and have had patents issued
them under the law governing such
selections.
1t is reported that the mining pro-
moters have been forced to suspend
all development work pending litiga-
tion, and the railroad company has
served notice that no more ore shall
be shipped until the ownership of
the land is determined.

IMPROVING THE sUrRo TUNNEL.

The work of expending in the
neighborhood of $l50,O00 in improv-
ing the Sutro tunnel at Virginia City
will begin May 1st. This news was
brought to Reno last evening by
Frank Leonard Jr Mr.. Leonard has
just completed all arrangements for
carrying out this enterprise which
means so much for Virginia City and
its mines. He is on his way to his
home in New York, though nearly all
his interests are now in his native
state, Nevada.
1t was mainly due to Mr.. Leonard's
efforts that every mining company
on the Comstck haa entered the agree
ment to drain their properties through
the Sutro tunnel. This is the first
time in the history of the camp that
all the companies have agreed on this
matter. The companies have signed
a lease with the tunnel company for
five years. To begin the work they
were asked to odvance $l25,000. To
make sure that funds would not run
out $150,000 have been raised. The
tunnel company is to repay this mon
ey from the receipts as royalties
during the life OF the lease.
The greatest Improvement in the
tunnel will be the construction of a
thirty-inch staye steam pipe, steel
bound. This will cost in the neigh
borhood of 100000. 1t will be more
than five miles in length. It will be
used to carry off the steam and hot
water from the lower levels of the
mines.
During the FIVE years it is also fig
