The Plates.
! The Pinte is not an impressive char
acter. Civilization has done its worst
for him.' He has .learned all the bad
and none of the good. He dresses in
the prevailing style of the mining camps,
-with flannel shirt and broad-brimmed
hat. In the spring, summer and fall he
innts, fishes --ana picks berries and
disposes of his surplus stock to the
whites. He. is an inveterate gambler, a
hard drinker, when he can get liquor,
and when drunk is a fiend. The tribal
relations of the Piutes have been broken
Tip, although thev still recognize a nom
inal Chief. -Thev roam aimlessly
over the country from place to place,
begging and stealing, and living the
Lord only knows how. In the winter
they are the scavengers of the State.
They know the location of every swill
barrel, refase-beap and ash-pile in
Nevada; and never a day passes that
they do not make rounds, always find
ing something to repay them for their
trouble. One of them recently came
ambling up to an ash-bnrrel which, the
owner remarked to a bystander, con
tained nothing that even a Piute would
deem of value. The red man poked
around it for a time, and then tipped
the barrel over, empting most of its
contents on the ground. The owner
'"had some misgivings, but he still
laughed, and said the "Injun" would
find nothing there. Pntty soon the fel
low picked out something and put it in
his pocket. The owner's curiosity was
aroused. Walking up to the redskin,
he asked:
"You don't find much in there do
you?"
"Meblie," said he; "heap catch 'em
toback."
Ho had found one or two ancient to
bacco quids in the ashes, and did not
despair of picking out a few more. So
they go from the back doors of the best
houses to those of saloons and slaughter
houses, gladlv appropriating to their
own use hundreds of things which the
white man has discarded as useless.
To most people the Piute is the personi
fication of a joke. A more solemn
mortal than he can not very weH be
imagined, but his quaint ways, bis imita
tion of the white man, more especially
the bad white man, and his queer as
sumption of the airs of civilized life
make him a very picturesque object
when he does not render himself a
nuisance, as is"quite apt to be the case.
It doesn't take a great deal of silver
change to start a big gambling game
among the Piutes. if a crowd of fif
teen or twenty can raiso ten dollars or
twenty dollars in silver the sport will be
kept up for hours. These gambling
spells take on the nature of a tourna
ment, and last sometimes for weeks, at
tracting the red 'sports from all parts
of the State. They meet in the daytime
on the sunny side of their wickiups,
. from which thqjrjexteqd wings by ty
ing blankets .onjpiblesto break1 the. forco
of tho wind. The gamblers 'place two
poles on the ground .about ten feet' apart
and parallel with each other, and scat
themselves on the ground cross-legged
outside tho poles. There arc generally
six or eight bucks on each -side, and the
stakes are stacked on the 'open ground
between the poles. Tho game that they
play is incomprehensible to the white
mind, but it seems " to be nothing more
than guessing by one-buck in which hand
another holds some shells. While this
is in progress the players sing a monot
onous chant and sway their bodies to
and fro. When night comes on sage
brush fires are lighted, and the games
often last until morning, the squaws
and children standing near, as deeply
interested in the game as the players.
No game can be played without the
dismal accompaniment of chanting, and
no weirder sights can be imagined than
those to be'arftnessed in one of these
nrotracteday and .night tournaments.
It wa9 atone of these festive gatherings
that one of the wives-of Chief "Nache'z
gave birth to twins, and the proceedings
wereferoken'up in the expectations that,
in accordance with the traditions of the
race, one of the now-comers would be
given up to -be killed. The mother,
however, beggpd so piteoiiply that the
life of her oflspnng be spared tiiat
Naohcz concluded to let them both live,
and the dissapointed redskins resumed
their gambling.
The Piutes have no enemies but the
Washoes, a tribe even more degraded
than they. Reports frequently gain
currency that the two "nations' are at
war. and that dreadful bloodshed has
resulted. These stories usually origi
nate with the Piutes, who are unconscion
able liars, and seem to enjoy the narra
tion of tales of slaughter tor the edifica
tion of the whites, particularly when
the latter are in a generous mood. The
two tribes have not had an actual fight
since 1863, when the Piutes managed to
reduce their ancient enemies to subjec
tion, and from that day to this they
havo lorded it over 'the subject race in
the most inhuman manner. No Washoe
is permitted to own a gun or any kind
' fof a firearm, and the discover that one
'of them has anything of the kind in his
possession is the signal for a Pinte raid
-i and fight, if the weapon is not immedi
ately surrendcerd. This terrorism in,
- which the Washoes are held by tho
Piutes, themselves the least warlike
perhaps of all the American Indians ex
cepting tho Washoes, would be ludi
crous were it not almost pitiful. Low
and despicable as the Piute maybe.it
gcems to afford him satisfaction to
know that he is the master of somebody.
Personal encounter between members
of tho two tribes are of frequent occur
rence, and these form the basis, in the
minds of the genial Pinte romancers, of
the bloody battles so often reported as
having taken place in remote places.

They explained their ill success by the
