Goodwin, -in Satur day's sisue of Goodwin's Weekly, pays a high tribute to the late John W. Mackay of Conistoik bonanza days, and his reminiscences contain many anecdotes o the former Bo nanza King, including a personal tribute to his worth and character. We quote the following as showing Mr. Mackay's attitude at the time of the big fire of the '70s that prac tically destroyed Virginia City: "Only a few of us who had found out his real nature know his sterl ing worth, the motives that guided his life, and the real nate of his high soul and the splendor of his haracter. He was 5 feet 10 inches in height, weighed 165 pounds, his eyes were blue-gray, his hair brown, is complexion ruddy that ruddi ess that comes where the warm ir blowing across the Gulf stream keeps Erin perpetually green. I never saw him show anything like exultation over being rich, hut once, and that was a flash of his eyes. In the winter of 1876-7 the famine was sore in Ireland. I mentioned it in his presence one day. He said, Yes,' but added: 'There are a good many poor people right here, but hank God that none of them are either cold or hungry.' "We did not know the truth un til later, and found it out by sheer accident. In the previous October all of the southeast half of Virginia City was destroyed by fire, including Clubs Won. Lost. Pet.

Wild ducks are threatening to destroy the rice crop on the Balfour-Guthrie rice plan tation, near Biggs, this county. Wm Grant, manager of the company's in' terests, has been forced to employ duck herders to scare the birds away in order that the corp may !.e allowed to mature for the har- vest. A? the (luck-hunting season does not open until October 15th, all the birds killed aro loft In th fW'Id. There are hundreds of them I 'ad rnrt scattered in the fields n '.jrospnt. Pucks appear to have a partial !ar fondness for rice, and the fact that thf fields have to be kept more or less under water all the time inaki'.s the plantation particu larly enticing to them. It Is feared that ducks will be the thief obsta cle In the way of rice Rrowlnff )n the Siicramrnto valley. the Con.-Cal. Virginia and other! hoisting works, offices, etc. In the crisis of the fire, when the miners were dynamiting the houses cn t west side of D street and filling the shafts to a depth of 30 feet to where the cages had been lowered, with bags of sand, and covering the floors of the hoisting works around the cages with sand two or three feet deep and Mr. Mackay was everywhere directing the work, a devout old lady approached him and said: 'O, Mr. Mackay, the church is on fire!' All the answer that he vouchsafed was: 'D-i n the church, we can build another if we can keep the fire from go ing down these shafts!' "The old lady wen away shocked, but next morning Mr. Mackay called upon Father late bishop Manogiie and said: 'There la a good deal of suffering here, father. If I try to help personally I shall be caught by two or three grafters and then will be liable to insult some worthy men and women. I turn the business over to you and your lieutenants. Do it thoroughly and when you need help draw upon me and keep draw- ing.' In the next three months Father Manogue drew upon him for $25,000 and every check was hon ored on sight, and the old lady saw, besides, a church grow out of the embers of the 'old one, and it was larger and more beautiful than the one that had been destroyed."

Mining timbers a specialty. 8-9-tf Many girls are so constituted that a word of tauit, especially n unde served, shocks their nervous sys tems to a greater exte.nt than many are aware of. The organism of the average woman is built on a frail plan and her nature Is such that a harsh word will often undo the effects of many cheerful and encouraging ones. There are very few telephone subscribers who are thoughtful enough to thank the girl, at the central station for ' a service rendered, and about once in a lifetime someone says: "Will you please give me No. ?" Telephone girls are blamed for all manner of things. Tliey are blamed for cross wires. They are answering the calls and must take to themselves the blame for some one not being .at home and for dis orders in any department of the telephone system. If a. subscriber is unable to hear what another is saying, the ''hello" girl is usually snarled at. If a party has the wire when- another wishes to use it, the girl at the switch is usually asked if "those other guys" have leased the line for all summer. Taking all these things into con sideration, telephone girls would doubtless be exceedingly well pleased if an inventive genius would pro vide a means for turning harsh and unkind words' into polite and cheer ful expressions, or someone would at death, leave a clause in his will bequeathing a sum for the erection of a home for indigent women wnose eariy lire vicissitudes in a telephone exchange brought gray hairs and hastened old age.
