| 1900 oAoReCoA buhb LneIe are some
business men among Us who have confidence
In the future of Elko. The dark DAYS that
nave shadowed the business interests Of the
whole county haye not discouraged them; IN
Stead Of setting down and mourning over
season OF unusual dullness, they look forward
hopefully TO q period, not far of, when Affairs
will be changed for the better and a general
business prosperity be inaugurated. This Is
the case OF the dry goods, house Of Badt 4
Cohn, who, not discouraged by the signs of
the nmes, are erecting on the site Of their old
store large hre-proof brick, which, when
completed, will not only be an ornament 10
the place, but one Of the most substantial
buildings in the town. DR.. l.. Terry, who in
engaged largely in the drug trade, for greater
security against fire has fine brick store
well under way on the site OF the old Carpen-
ter building, which he will probably be able to
occupy by the first of May. John Krattieer.
on the corner of Railroad and Fourth streets
has nearly ready for occupancy, new frame
building, twenty-five by eighty feet which
/ Is built and designed for a lodging house
and when finished will prove q substantial
Improvement in that part Of town. Other
changes and improvements are taking place
all over the town; grounds are being beautifed
| with shade trees; streets are being well COW
cred with gravel; and an air Of general and
substantial prosperity seems TO be in store
| for our citizens. ...a
The FIRsr OF APRIL passed Of in the regu-
lar routine Of its predecessors. Every one
seemed to vie with his neighbor in manufac-
turing some laughable sell" on his neiehbor.

him, and asked him if he was in his right

head that It was the first day Of April. The

number here, there is not a camp in the State
that can show better shipment of bullion
than Mineral Hill. In the month of March
there were shipped, per Wells, Fargo & Co..
70 bars Of crude bullion, valued at Sl20. 7Sl,
and this from one fifteen-stamp mill; and had
We another mill, as we certainly ought u
have, We could not be surpassed by the larg.

in this town was put into operation again on
| last Wednesday morning. The workmen com.
menced feeding at 8 o'clock that morning, and
| yesterday noon $50 bars Of bullion had been
produced, averaging ITO pounds each. The
| ore that Is being smelted at present IL from
| Lucine, Utah. and from Railroad district
mixed together. The first "a hours run from
the furnace produced l27 bars of bullion
weighing seven tons. This is cert ainly ar
e1trsordiary production from q furnace bat
30 inches in the clear on the inside and IL feet
in height, and we understand that it is the
| largest run ever made by any similar furnace
in the State. The bullion is worth Sl75 pei
ton. . g. - =
BULL RUS.-Mr. Borette showed us yester
day some excellent specimens obtained from
his mine on Pennsylvania hill, in Bull RuT

some 20 different lodges. He showed us

Grafton in the district, Bull Run will make
noise in the world.
