STAGE MONEY VS.. REAL MONEY.

u Il handful which was thrown
sround the streets last Sunday morn
ing there was an offer to give 500
under certain conditions. The offer
WIS made by one who, in the language
q. Of Che street, is a "four-Ausher," who
is worth m~illions-in his mind 7 If he
loses his mind-and he wouldn't lose
nuch-hem be broke. In his vapor-
ings 800 only represents the value of
a white chip-but the wages of the
force who get out the handbill are
three weeks over due-and they would
gladly take a white chip if some one
would cash it for real money. We be
feve in being charitable-even to the
Eoauest of Gods creatures-but some
times charity ceases to be a virtue,
hence the publication of the following
story. the truth of which can he
'vouched for by leading citizens of
.CS>ldfoid:
ffF}c "four-husher' referred to de-
lights in pushing himself forward in
public gatherings, and posing. At the
: Slass meeting held some weeks ago to
:: take measures to put and keep Gold
. field in a sanitary condition, he con
. .ttually arose Oh his hind legs and
to use language that he is familiar
with shot off his mouth.
-. Finally. contributions were called
.fc". A man who was not looking for
..ehnap advertising, but who had the
good Of the camp at heart, started
the fund with $50. The ''four-lusher'
j.. again raised on his hind legs and
.blurted out: "I-the editor OF the
Ehandbill-- will give $780, Not once,
but several times did he give this
$;O0-with his mouth.
The sanitary committee, believing
That no one would be so low as to
asutscriba 10 such a fund who didn't
Intend to pay, contracted bills to the
Efuli amount subscribed. The Hfour-
sfusher'' was asked time and again to
spay the 500, hut time and again he
refused. Eventually it was decided
to publish in the News the list of de
,linquent subscribers. Then, and not
ftill then, did the "four-fusher" pay
the debt Of honor probably by doub-
ling up on the charge for the two-col-
umn al which is given him as the
price of keeping silent on the past
record Of his bosom friend, the race
toni of many aliases.
Thus endath the story of the 500.

TO MURDER.
Mrs. George s. Phenix Shoots Attor
ney Chas. L. Hayes.

Last Monday evening, during a dis
pute over the possession of a lot on
Main street, Phenix Addition, Mrs.
Phenix shot three times at Attorney
Chas. l.. Hayes, one of the shots tax
ing effect in the groin and infiicting
A serious but not fatal wound.
Hayes contracted for the lot from
Phenix a year ago, but before he had
paid for it, the latter doubled the
price-a species of double dealing
which Phenix practices. Hayes final
ly agreed to pay the increased price
and claims he has done so in legal
services, and has had peaceful posses
sion and was deriving an income from
it by leasing it to third parties.
The lot grew in value and Phenlx
took possession of the tent occupied
by the lessee. Hayes went up Monday
evening to put a ten on the rear of
the lot and the Phenixes came on the
scene. After some words Phenix at
tempted to take down the tent, while
Mrs. Phenix stood guard with Il gun.
Stories differ. but it is alleged that
Phenix told his wife to- ''shost him. '
At any rate she did, and it is onEs
through sheer good luck that she is
not now 81 murderess.
After the shooting Mrs. Phenix gave
herself up and was released on $500
bail.
Their is much indignation over the
affair and it is mostly directed against
&. =. t'henix, both for his cowardice
IN hiding behind a woman's skirts
when there was dirty work to do and
for the reason that his grasping nature
has been a detriment to the camp.

MINING NOTES.

Some three to five miles west OF
Goldfield much mining activity pre-,
walls at present. Two tunnels are be-
ing worked, in each of which a min
eral vein has been unearthed, strong

spe~ctively of being permanent and
productive. Assays show good re-
turns in gold from the surface.
A large, true, well defined fssure

week 10y the miners and prospectors OF
Indian Springs and vicinity, some a
miles west of Goldfield, by naming
some of the prominent mountain peaks
so that miners and prOspectOrs may
hereafter more in%telligently locate
their claims.
One is named '.Biscuit' mountain,
the top of which is about l mile west
of Indian Springs, and due west OF
the Combination works and can be
seer us the highest peak in sight some
s or 81. miles west of Goldfeld.
.'Cooney's' peak, so named by the
prospectors, hears S. 20 deg. west from
Columbia mountain, n. rs deg. w. of
Myers mountain. S. 53 deg. f. of
Biscuit mountain and due south from
Klondyke springs. On this peak a
monument will be erected 8 or 10
feet high which can be readily seen
from the north end of Goldfield.
The Brllfrog Gold Bar is in good
ore. j. K. Davis, the manager. left
here Thursday for the mine and will
let a contract to sink the shaft an adj
d~itional 100 feet.

William Robe and associates pur-
chased Il few days ago the Dwyer and
Stewart group of claims situated two
miles east of Ida. The buyers are
