MINERAL Cry, NEv. MARCH 90. 10

| MINERAL CRY, NEv. MARCH 90, 70
EDITOR TELEdRAPH: s.9,a'e.t fs
AsI make it a point to always meet my
engagements if possible, so, however lit
tie it may Interest your patrons I will en-
/ deavor to give some of the main features
Of this country. s1oy
In the center OF the Western slope be-
tween the Rocky Mountains and Pacific
Ocean, and almost wholly within the
Great Basin lies the state of Nevada-the
area in extension I should think sufficient
to make two states as large as Wisconsin,
and believe 1t to be ono of the rich est
lin agricultural and mineral resources
within the American continent. The ari
able land is so extremely fertile as to
produce fifty and sixty bushels of wheat
or barley to the acre. Lands for grazing
purposes too, are of vast extent covered
with the lest quality of grasses, af1rdlng
pasturage for numberless h eads of cat
tie and sheep through the entire year
The cattle alone number at least one hun.
dred thousand head, and so mild is the
climate that no grain or hay is required
at all to feed them during the winter.
OF the mineral wealth of Nevada all
the world has heard. According to Of
fetal statements more than twenty. five
millions of the precious metals produced
from native ores Of this state have been
added to the worth of the American peo-
ple-evcn excelling the noted Eldorado
in the production of gold and silver. for
two years back. l suppose however that
the thing about our North West which
has most surprised the public is The gen.
eral character of it's climate. Different as
it may seem from the prevalent idea re-
garding it, i is none the less true that
the climate of Nevada.as q whole,is mild
er than southern Illinois. whilethe purity
aud dryness of the atmosphere makes the
variations in the temperature less notice
able. The old theory that the farther
north we gothic more severe the climate
can not be true Tae winters in this sec.
tion are generally open and pleasant, as
NAV be inferred from the fact of the cat
tie feeding without shelter all winter.
The valleys are hardly ever covered with
snow and it is rare that the roads are not
dry ard passable for ten months in the
year. On the noun aims, of course, as in
q mountainous country winters are some
times hard. snow often falls to a con.
siderable depth and some OF them wear
their white hats" from one years end to
another. ~t&sts II.

Bishop, coming from depth offifty feet
The first tairty nine feet from the surface

was struck which was eleven feet, and
then blue clay was reached. The bore
was sc ven inches. When the quicksand

THE wARRAssEr DISASTER,
Further Particulars.
Washington, 8.

Washington, 9.
In the opinion Of Capt. wood there are from
ten to twelve bodies uncovered. In order
to obtain them, Capt. Samuel Godney, Super
intendent of the Potomac Ferry company,
started down river this morning in tug Lewis.
The party on board are provided with Crap
ling irons and seines, and hope to recover
bodies of those lost. Captain says flames
were first discovered issuing from the galley
and by the walking beam. The boat was TIM
medately headed for shore but before reach
ing it the walking beam fell and the machin-
cry stopped. Had she kept on many more
would have been saved.
In five minutes from the first alarm the boat
was in flames from keel up. Does not know
how many we're lost, but thinks the number
will not exceed thirty.
The fire ragged twenty-five minutes, when
the work of destruction was complete. The
bodies brought here by the National were laid
out in a shed on the wharf, and were all that
had been recovered up to $50 last night.
Two tugs left early this morning for the
wreck, and expected to return with the re-
mainder Of the survivors and the dead.
Capt. Gregg of steamer National states that
when he received news of the disaster he i'm
mediately steamed to the spot, but was too
late to render assistance. The vessel had
'N'i'Su W tHc Watel SuSc: oiA tbS Wv" "'N
passengers had been removed to place Of
safety, or had found sudden graves.
The wreck had burned so low at elk o'clock
that the water rushed in and it sunk.
The ferry boat City OF Washington has ar
rived with three more survivors badly burned.
Many of the survivors who have arrived are
more or less bnrned. There were about
twenty children on board exclusive of 10
registered passengers.
A coroners jury called at Stewards wharf
and rendered a verdict generating the Off
GERS of the boat from all blame. Capt. John
r. Woods, commander of the Warrasset is
burned around the neck and ears slightly.
His account is substantially thst the fire broke
out at twenty minutes past IL o'clock, between
Thoms Gul and Chatterton. l was in the
pilot house at the time. The fireman came
in and told me the boat was on fire below,
when l Immediately came out and found
the flames had reached quite to the hurricane
deck, along the walking beam. Then saw
that it was impossible to get to the life boats,
which were 10 the after quarters on each side
to lower them, although they were full Of pas
sengers. Threw water on the wheel ropes so
as to keep the steerage all right, and passed
buckets of water from below to the hurricane
deck for that purpose, as became satisfied
that there was no hope of saving the vessel,
and that the only chance to save the passen-
gers was to keep her going. The boat reach
ed the beach in about IL or IS minutes after
the alarm was given.
