were taken yesterday by some of our leading
freiphters and business men. This company
will have capital stocks of $50, 600, and
will have for its object the general transporta-
ton of merchandise and freight to all the
principal mining sections Of Eastern Nevada,
with Elko as a focal and grand distributing
point for Idaho, Southern Nevada and Utah.
The principal portion of the stock has already
been taken. The company will be incorpor-
ated under the laws OF the State of California,
with its principal offices in San Francisco,
Sacramento and Elko, and will be ready for
active operations on the first Of April.
marrow gauge is fixed fact for Elko, have a
philosophical way of looking at the matter,
and are disposed to have n little quiet fun over
the subject, rather than to go into 'cOnnip-
tons about a thing they can't help. They
know it's their funeral, and like the girl who
was willing to gave up everything but john
to get religion, so they are ready to believe
that every thug but Palisade is going to pay
tribute TO Elko. That's their John. and they
don't propose sacrificing him. This much they
willingly concede. But their generosity don't
stop here; IL crops out in liberal donations of
miniature rolling stock. in the shape of tin
wagons and engines, which are sent per e1-
press TO prominent citizens. illustrating, no
doubt the great interest they feel in marrow

these little cOurtesies, the wagons thus donated
shall be properly cared for and when the time
comes, which is not far distant, they shall be
at their service.
How To MAKE MoSEY.--A few days since
We overheard remark made by plain 'coun-
try gentleman who is the owner Of little
farm in this valley, that rather interested us,
as illustrating what man can do who has
backbone enough 10 get down "a hone 1t labor
for livelihood. From four COWS the past

amounted TO 500, besides raising their calves
which are worth, at the least calculation. $50
apiece more making in all $40 as the gross
product of this little start in stock. Having a
large family 10 look after, and being himslf old
and intirm, he has managed, nevertheless,
with these cows and pair of small horses not

lay mp, Ouer and dJooe all Expenses, some $500,
which he proposes TO invest in cows, chickens,
pigs, etc, TO help increase his profits the com
lng season. Here Is example worthy Of
Imitation, showing practically what can be
made out of stock when judiciousy managed
and lesson that the hundred aud one Young
men that loaf in idleness about cities and
towns, and grow up under the fostering care Of
gin mills and dance houses, TO become pests Of
society. would do well to follow.

Corr DITmCT.-More activity in mining
matters il apparent at present in this district
than there has been for months past. This
can be attributed to the fact that the Argenta
mine Is yielding fine pay ore, and that the
company pay their debts promptly; and also
that "A new ledge called the Eldoratlo. owned
by Wilson Hay and others. is yielding magnifi.
cent ore, and the working of the same which is
prosecuted day and night, employs a large
number Of men. The California mine il also
worked by Duncan and others very success
fully. they having after ovcT u years hard work
in running tunnel for their ledge succeeded
in striking fine body or ore in the tunnel
which they are now extracting The Idaho
ledge Is also being worked continuously, and
that company ii rewarded by n large amount o
good pay ore on the dump. The Norton mill
