Buckskin on the Line.

Telephone connection was made with
Buckskin last week and that camp is
now in communication with the out
side world The line runs from Yer
ington by way of the Douglas and Lud-
wig mines, and thus connects with the
Western Union telegraph at Wabuska.
This line is an independent line con-
structed by H. Hironymous and does
not belong to the Yerington Electric
Company, although those who have the
company's boxes in Yerington can use
them to communicate with Buckskin
through central. The rates for messages
from Buckskin to Yerington are rs cents
and to Wabuska, or anywhere beyond
central, so cents. From the way the
camp is coming to the front the new line
will no doubt be a paying piece of
property

Another Pioneer Dies.

On Tuesday morning of this week l..
A. Guild, one of the oldest residents of
Dayton, passed away at his home at that
place. Mr.. Guild had been ailing for a
few days with liver and kidney trouble
but did not take to his bed until the
afternoon before he passed away. He
was 90 years of age and native of New
York State. He came to Dayton when a
young man, we believe in 1856, and re-
sided there until the time of his death.
He leaves a widow, three daughters,
Mrs. Maud Shngerland, Mrs. f. II.
Maxwell and Mrs. Geo. Eglin; also
four sons, Lew, Will, Henry and Clark
Guild. Mr.. Guild was hard working
and upright man, and in the early days
of the Comstock was well-to-do. His
vitality carried him through to the very
end.
The funeral of deceased took place in
Dayton Thursday and was largely at
tended by friends. Thus it is, one by
one, the pioneers of this section of the
State are passing away.
