prove one OF the most attractive mining
regions Of the state.
District Attorney John L. ki,trell,
spent Yesterday in Eureka, en- route from
Belmont to Hamilton. Mr.. hittrell has
been engaged for the last month in the
trial Of the celebrated Sampson murder
case at Belmont. He aided in the pros
ecutOn. rs in the former trial OF the
case, thu result was q hung jury-the
jury standing SIX and six. On the first
trial Of the case some months since, the
jury stood ten for conviction to two for
acqulttsl. Most Of the important wit
nesses in the case have been induced to
leave the country. The case will not be
tried again IN Belmont. A. there is no
possibility af securing another Jury in
Nye county. The programme is, we be-
heye, TO have 1t transferred to White
Pine. In the mean time, an effort will
be made to have sampson admitted TO
/ bail.
WHITE PINE.
The New gives the following reasons
why railroad should be bull; east of the
Diamond range Of mountains, on its
route from Elko to the Colorado.
First-Because it is the most direct
practicable route between the great oh.
jective points, viz: the Central Pacific
Railroad and the Colorado river. Sec.
Ond-Because the valley which it follows
Is continuous one land the only con.
tnuous one from the Central Pacific
road to the Colorado. Third-Because
J this route Is hemmed in on the east and
west by ranges containing innumerable
mines throughout its entire length
Fourth-Because it will afford an inter
lor overland communication from the
| u5tHl Ntgtau -, ,l,r lorln,., 6
/ EItth-Because the Central Pacific Com.
/ pany cannot afford to lose the carrying
/ business Of the communities of Southern
/ Nevada and Arizona. Sixth-Because
+ the San Francisco merchants canno;
afford to lose the supply trade of South
/ ern Nevada and Arizona, which they
( must do If this road is not built

thoroughly warmed up our side of the
