Ed. Transcript: Although a little
subsided, still the excitement in
stocks is sufficiently intense to give
us variety. The old crowds linger
fondly, and prior to the réports appearing, indulge in lapd debate as to
what the prices on the list will be,
and after the reports are read, they
talk and wonder,, why is this thus?
If any one names a certain price for
any steck, and the Board verifies his
prephecy, he is looked upon as a
wonderful man; he is asked slyly in
to drink, and his opinion is consid-"
your whisky, and ‘‘another Ccigaf to .
putin your pocket.’’ In the language
-of the curbstone, “things look a littleoff,” and as Sam Wyshenheim
says, “if they only level an excessment
it will make them come down,’’ but
Reticence in such cases does .
not deceive thé,men who may want . Board is off, another is on, and only

ODD FELLOWS’ HALL. .
The Order, or rather a few of the
Lodges, have joined hands, and purchased alot on C street, in. what is
known as the burnt district, as this
was the ground swept by the great
fire of September last. They-paid
$7,000for the lot, and propose to

éountry aniazingly, and the'non-publication of shipments here has materially retarded the prosperity of .
our towns. If therg was any way of .
reaching this matter we would remedy it without any hesitation whatever.
We have seen thousands upon thousands of dollars, in dtist and amalgam, ready for shipment below, but
at the same time have received the
strictest injunction not te publish it,
and under such circumstances could
not give publicity to the fact. We
hope the time will come when we can
act as we would like in a matter
which is of such great importance to
the community at large.
Sucker Flat Mines,
The mines here are the wonder of
all, as they are the richest gravel
mines in the world. It costs enormously to open these claims, as they
have to runa tunnel at least 2,900
feet to put their flume through. All
their tailings are dumped into the
Yuba river. They generally wash
“¢som 40 to 125 days before they clean
up, and thet: the result is something
short of $100,000. The beauty of
these mines is that the whole hill is
all pay dirt from the tip-top to the
bed rock, so they have no backs to
strip before getting at the ledge like
. quartz mines here. But few men
are required to work these mines, so
Sucker Flat will never be a very large
place, As it is Mr. R.L. Crary owns
about all of the town, He owns the
only hotel, stable, theatre and saloon
in the place, and is constantly building new houses. A rivalry «has
sprung up between Smartsville and
Sucker Flat. Smartsville is unjustly
called the seat of the mines, when in
reality there is not a mine-in-the
place, but happens to be on the main
road and one or two offices are located there, This is all that keeps
up Smartsville, yet how often we
hear ofthe ‘‘Smartsvillemines.’’ So
bays a correspondent of the. Gazette.

Btorieson D street and three on’ C
street. The building will contain,
beside Ledge rooms, Library, etc., a
large dancing hall and several stores.
The whole structure will cost, when
completed, about forty thousand dollars, and will be a credit to the city.
I would here remark that the Order
isin a most flourishing condition,
Every night new members join. Harmony reigns, and vigor and energy
are the watchwords.
THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES
Came off Saturday, and though exciting, nothing occurred to bring discredit upon the party. About 1,200
votes were polled, and of these Ben
Higby received a clean majority for
Chief of Police.
THE GREAT CONTEST,
The Democrats have placed menin
the field and have thrown down the
gauntlet. The fight is opened in
earnest. It is rumored that ‘‘Committee 601’? have some little interest
in this fight, and as they wield a
powerful influence in this city, their
choice will come pretty near being
elected=— While” but little” impor=
tance attaches to our municipal election as such, still, should the Democersts carry the city, it would be heralded as a great victory, and the first
gun in the Fall campaign. Mayor
Currie will be elected in all probability. He has held the office for
several terms and is very popular.
But he will be the only Democrat
elected, and let me say; his Democracy is not of the hard-shell order;
: STAGING
Is still a paying business, and while
We miss-the fine teams, splendid
‘coaches and gallus Jehus of the olden
time, the crowds of travelers are as
great, and the owners of the lines
know-how to impose on the public
just as well as ever; in fact better,
for it is downright extortion to charge
$5 from here to Reno, especially
when the stages run to Steamboat
Springs only. And then they charge
three cents a pound on all baggage,
just because they have a monopoly,
If an enterprising opposition was
started, itis my firm belief Messrs.
Woodruff & Ennor would be glad to
reduce these figures to living rates,
and since they will not do it willingly, IThope they will be forced to 'ere
long.
THE STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE
Met on Saturday, and elected delegates and alternates to represent the
State in the» Republican National
Convention at Philadelphia. ‘They
passed a series of resolutions indorsing Grant and his admistration, and
instructing the delegates to vote for
Grant, who is the choice of the whole
NEVADANS

_ BULLY KING
Arrived here a few days tgo as the
Bell Ringers,” ‘which troupe appears
in this:city.ina few days. Billy visited the various engine houses, and
‘expressed a desire to hear the Virginia Bell Ringer, in’ which ‘he~was
gratified a few. hours_later,. when an
alarm was struck, and_Billy ‘took
some stock in the ran—his first invéestment in Washoe.‘ JOHN NELSON
Of San Juan, is around among the.
Balls atid Bears, and taking notes
generally. Being President of the
Yuba Gravel Range Company, his
visit no doubt has some bearing on
the sale of the stock and commencing
operations. This is a good ‘market
and his stock will be gobbled up very
rapidly, as our people have faith in
the project and confidenee-in John
Nelson.
FIRE.
A fire broke out in-a drug store a
morning or two.ago, and as all the
whistles blew, and all bells, even the
great bell of the Cathedral, sounded
the alarm, a grand rush resulted.
The Department ‘vas on the ground
and at work in five minutes after the
alarm struck, some of the Companies being located. over a half mile
from the fire, which was quick work
even for Virginia. The fire was
squelched before any great damage
was done. ' Virernia,

After Him With a Sharp Stick.
Yes, yes, Mr. TranscnrptT~pretty
good! ‘They're after him, but the
trouble is: he’s out of the Way, ‘‘on
the_road to Boston.”’ Well, it’s allowable, I bélieve, in chickendom,
for either cock to crow, even if he’s
whipped, after the other is out-of
sight.
But, seriously, my dear sir, -we
who sit under these reverend gentlemen’s teachings, would like to know
how they are going to review and
overthrow Elder Grant’s. teachings,
when.they did not hear him?-. Only
one of them was there at all, and he
but very little. And again: If they
are really, as they claim, watchmen
on Zion’s walls, how can they justify
themselves in allowing us to go,
night after night, to listen to a teacher of dangerous heresies, the consequences-of which are to run ‘on
through the endless hereafter, and
not so much as go with us and improve the opportunity, so fairly. offered, to state, objections, and, if able,
show up the wrong and save their
flocks from the error and danger,
How is this? It don’t look just right.
However, let the effort be made. _We
will listen attentively, WE Want
Truta! Will they allow, as Elder
We shall see.

axnp a Sounp Heav.—The Chicago
Times has the follewing: There died
in Washington ceunty, Pennsylvania,
afew days since, at the age of 75
years, 4 man who may well be said
to have achieved success in life under difficulties. , When he was 13,
years of age, he lost.the use of both .
legs and his’ right arm, which were
shriveled up by rheumatism and left .
without power of motion. His usual .
position was lying on his back, and .
in this apparently helpless attitude
he taught school, officiated as Justice
of the Peace—which office he held
for thirty-five years—and conducted
a multifarious business, calling for
continual activity. Thus he’ accumulated a large fortune, under disadvantages that would have made a
pauper of any man of“ordinary will
and energy. But -his — greatest
achievement is yet to—be recorded.
When he was about 25 years of age,
he ran away witha young woman
and married her against the wishes
of her parents, and to crown all, he
became a father in due course, of
thirteen children. The name of this
hero was William W.-Hawthorn, and
it is‘a damaging reflection upon the
elected Governor,

StrikEi—The Grass Valley Union
of yesterday says: The steam machinery of the Knight of Malta mine
has been in operation for~ several
days, and Thursday night the water
was taken out of the shaft, Yesterday morning the miners in sinking
on the ledge found the most beautiful rock, filled with free gold and
splendid stlphurets. . The ledge has
fine walls and is from two to.three
feet thick in the shaft. The specimevs exhibited in town caused-_asensation. The Knight cf Malta is west
of the Coe, and is on a line-with the
Idaho, Eurekaland Coe mines. The
indications are that a splendid . mine
will be opened in Grass Valley.
