TIE FINANCIAL DEPRESSION is estimated

that the damage done to business in Elko,
by the failure of the First National Bank of
Nevada, in the way Of producing tight money
market, will reach $50, 900. The actual indi-
yidual losses, directly suffered, aggregate but q
few thousand dollars, but the damage done by
bringing about stringent market is deeply
felt in every avenue OF trade. Prior to the
suspension of this bank, money was easy in
town but this catastrophe, coming sit did so
sudden and unexpectedly to the mass of our
people, upset all faith in the stability of our
banks for the time being, and resulted in the
calling in of the larger share Of the circulating
medium thereby affecting every branch Of in
dustry. This condition Of affairs is, however,
now gradually improving, and confidence once
more enthroned will bring about good times
to our mercantile community well as TO
every material interest in our county.
PIONEER BEEF CATTLE PROM NEvApA.--J.
O. Shirley, who owns the Cageges ranch, on
the north fork of Raft river, thirty miles from
Kelton, on the railroad, and two hundred
miles east of Elko, sent down last night ten
head of beef cattle. weighing $500 pounds
each, to the San Francisco market. These
cattle were fattencd on Grass alone. and only
ten could be crowded into u car that ordina-
rily holds eighteen. Shirley has one hundred
head more of the same kind of stock, that he
will ship below this winter. Many people
labor under the impression THAI Nevada is not
a good stock country, but this is strong evil
dence 10 the contrary. Either in Winter or
Summer, cattle will grow fat on the rich and
abundant grasses, and the white sage, which
is better than barley, that covers the valley
and ranch lands Of Nevada.
CHICAGO MACHISERY.-On Monday two car
loads of machinery, comprising complete
quartz mill, arrived direct from Chicago, con-
signed to ii. i. Towslee, Treasure City. The
castings look we'll and are undoubtedly made
of better iron than our San Francisco founder
les furnish, but II still remains a question
whether Chicago machinery will do good
work as that constructed in California The
machinery comes from L. W. Gates a. Co.'S
Eagle Works. Tie attempt was evidently
made Ia construct Il after the modern pattcrn
Of Pacific Coast mills, thai have always been
the most successful, but We fear that the few
new-fangled improvements made will ruin its
successful working.
TnfLTRIcNL.-The Beatty troupe appeared
at the Opera House on Wednesday evening TO
