The White Pine news. [volume] (Treasure City, Nev.) 1868-1906, 1870-07-16

nationalities in our midst grew into
a high fever of conversational excitement
yesterday after We had announced on our
Bulletin Board the declaration of war
against Prussia by France. The merit
of this new ~imbroglio. which is about to
turn the frontiers of France and Prussia
into the theater of a bloody encounter
between two gallant and martial powers,
is only arrived at from the meagre and
not wholly satisfactory dispatches we
have published from day TO day. In a
few days, however, we shall BIO fully
posted by mail, when our people will
doubtless form sides, as they do on every
foreign war. In the meantime, we have
yet to see the first Frenchman or Prus-
sian who does not know that his own
particular Country is right. and the other
wrong. That s human nature. Ameri-
cans will continue divided; but it has
lately been the fashion In the United
States for the public to sympathise with
the Teutoric races as against the Latinie
in European questions. Whether this
will be the case in the present war will
depend a good deal on the phase HOSTILE
ties assume, together with the merits
presented to our point Of view, or a full
exposition of the easus belli. In the
meantime We do not want n portion OF
the wal transferred TO White Pine.
The MEETING To-NIGHr.--As every
mar in White Pine is deeply interested
in the subject of securing separating
works here. We expect to see the public
meeting, at City Hall, tonight, largely
attended. There will be gentlemen pres
ent who will elucidate the subject, and
show the feasibility of separating our
base metals here, at a less cost than we
are charged abroad. This is n subject Of
the first importance, and we feel assured
that the meeting will lead to practical
conclusions of the first moment 10 every
man in the District.
To LAwYERs.-The District Court will
meet this morning, and motions will be
in order. We hear much complaint
among the legal fraternity about the
paucity of suits ON the present calendar.
There is scarcely a case a piece for the
entire bar. And that is not the worst of
IL. We doubt, from an examination of
the docket, whether there is a piece a
ease for the lawyers. There must be
something done. If people will not go
more generally into litigation here. we
may lose a large slice of our present ex-
tensive forensic talent.
TAKE A RnE.-We call the attention
of our readers TO the card of Al. Francis,
an old citizen Of Eastern Nevada, now
proprietor of a frst-class livery stable in
San Francisco. II Is pleasant, when
visiting a strange city, TO find an old ac-
quaintance; and Francis is well known to
most White Piners. His stable is on
Fourth street, but a short distance from
the great hotels, and visitors from this
section will be heartily welcomed, and
furnished with an elegant turnout, at
most reasonable rates, if required.
MovrSG HousEs.-We hear of several
houses that have lain idle here for SOM
time, that are about to be removed to
adjacent camps just splurging into no
tice. The shebang formerly occupied as
a trading post by Carpenter 4 Armstrong,
on Main street, was torn down yesterday,
for translation to the present goal of ex-
element, Eureka. We have yet to hear
of negotiations to place Withington's
brick structure or the Courthouse on
wheels. The City Hall still clings to its
original site.
BANKING RuMoR. FIX Governor J.. A..
Matteson, of Illinois, is here on a gen.
eral business tour, and a rumor has OBJ
tanned currency that he has the estab-
lishment of a banking business in view.
We have no doubt that there is a good
field here for banking institution on
the Eastern plan. II we had banking
accommodation In connection with III
tested mines. ii would confer a great
benfit on the District.
MrSEs IN 4 NEw DrREorIoS.-Two
mines have been opened, with encour
aging prospects, on the Illapah side Of
Momomoke Mountain. In one, a shaft
has been SINK about % feet, and assays
of the ore have run as high as $50.
These mines ARE located n short distance
below the springs. The uncovering of
on extensive mineral belt in that direc-
ton would complete our auriferous
circle.
GONE AwAY.-Julius 7. Pannes, who
has been here several days examining
our mining resources, will leave for San
Francisco, via Austin and Virginia, to-
day. He is connected with the New York
Belletristisches belle Lettres) Journal,
for which publication he is gathering
mining statistics.
CHANCE o A RAcE.-A card from W.
X. Miller, the Shermantown horse man,
accepts the challenge of the Trayises, for
his horse Wild Bill. The advertiser
rode W. b. up here to see us, and we
must say he is what would be called "A
sioshin horse
AND ASorHEB.-H. Bishop, who does
not allow anybody to get away from him
ON a business proposition. accepts the
challenge on the horse Chamber of
Commerce. and is ready with horse and
money.
