EprroRa IxpEPrSprSr:-Sincem my last from
this camp. ..Progrsss. my boy" has been the
ratch-vord Of ye deniIens Of Unionville.
Within the las. month a dozen good and sub
stantial houses have gone up, and the cry is
.'stiIl they come" The south side Of Main
street as well as the north side from the Court
house to Hadley's blacksmish-shop, will soon
Be solid row of substantial buildings, oc-
copied with business houses, representing the
various branches Of trade incident to thrifty
mining town. The brilliant triumph Of Uni
onvile In preventing the removal of the
county-seAt has stimulated our citizens to re-
ne~eI e1ertions and higher ambition, us they
now feel assured that with the rapid develop
ment of the rieh mineral resources Of the
southern part OF the county il will be ir,pos-
sible 20 disturb the county-seat for many years
70 come. Both the people Of Unionyille and
Battle Mountain districts are beginning to
look With much favor upon n proposition for
a dirision Of The county, in which event the
new town recently laid out at Battle Noun
tain Station will become formidable compel
itor for the shire town of the new county
which will extend from somewhere in the vi
cinity Of the Stone House, ON the Central Pa
cihc Railroad, TO the western line of Elko
county. 4 town has already been laid of and
surveyed by the Central Pacific Railroad
Company at the place above named, and ar
ranSements are being made TO move Argenta
Station, with all the depot buildings and bust
ness houses, down TO the new town, which Is
for the present in Humboldt county. The re-
movsl Of Argenta from Lander TO Humboldt
county Is another serious blow to the integrity
Of poor emasculated Lander which seems fated
TO endless disasters. The coming calamity.
however, will be the cutting of of the pan
handle" or strip Of land extending up to the
Idaho boundary. including segment Of the
Central Pacific Railroad between Humboldt
and Elko counties, which will he Topped of
and thrown into the new county, thus strip
ping Lander completely OF all her splendid
taxable inheritance aud leaving her exclusive
y mining and grazing inland county.
