The White Pine news. [volume] (Treasure City, Nev.) 1868-1906, 1873-02-22

PUBLIC GHWAf.-I OnerIy Creek
country, in the most northerly portion of
this county, is attracting considerable at
tention of late-a number OF strikes OF
good ore having been recently made. Like
all new places, the first enterprise is gen.
orally a toll-road, which often works
great hardship to the settlers of new
mining camps. Our County Commits
sioners have most properly checkmated
this, by issuing the following order for
establishing a public highway 1t is
hereby ordered that a public highway be
established as follows, viz: commencing
at the Hot Springs, on the west side of
Steptoe Valley, from thence running
north TO the mouth of Cherry Creek Can
yon; thence west and up through Cherry
Creek Canyon TO the intersection of the
Egan and Butte Valley roads, and thence
north to Butte Valley. 1t is further or
dered that Judge B. O'Connor, d. B.
Pierce, and p. Logan, be and are hereby
authorized TO lay Out said road; prorided,
that no charge shall be made against said
White Pine county for such service"
ROBINSON Decentralization Hendrie,
lately from Robinson District, gives an
encouraging account Of that section. The
mines are looking better than ever be-
fore, and work on them is only delayed
by the inclement weather Of the last few
weeks. j.. NJ. Ogden, Superintendent of
the Canton Company, is expected TO ar
rive soon, and will Immediately COM
mence the erection of furnaces OF a large
scale. Lots are selling from 800 to $500,
and many people are preparing to build
rs soon as the weather will permit. We
predict q season OF unparalleled prosper
ity for Robinson the coming season. In
dications point TO that section rs one OF
the most promising Of all mining camps
outside OF Hamilton.
ASNExArIoN.-Soms Of our prominent
citizens have been at work for the last
few days collecting money to defray the
expense of sending ENJOYS to Carson, To
present TO the Legislature an important
matter TO this county. The facts are,
that a portion Of Nye county. now known
as White river, desire annexation to this
county, and il is the wish of III people
TO crafty them. 1t Is proposed to send
one OF their own number, who shall be
chosen by the people Of that section, to
present the case 10 our representatives in
a proper light, and, i is hoped, that a
successful issue may be reached; partic-
ularly after our base range neighbors
have had every wish gratifed thus far.
THE PINTO CoMPASY.-Advices from
London state that a meeting of stockhold-
ers Of the Pinto Silver Mining Company
of Nevada was held, at which it was re-
solved that the eompany's affairs be
wound up by voluntary liquidation. 1t
is proposed TO form a new company, and
include the Baseye mines at Secret Can
yon. We would be pleased 10 see the
mines and mill of the Pinto Company
again started up. 1t would give new life
TO n large and valuable section OF mining
country, and assist in developing many
locations owned by private individuals.
The BALL LAST SIoHr.-The Firemen's
ball, which came off last evening, was
certainly one Of the most enjoyable af-
fairs OF the season. Notwithstanding
dull times and the absence of many la
dies and gentlemen from town, n goodly
number were present, who seemed to en-
JOY the occasion hugely. Altogether, the
affair was one Of the most pleasurable it
has beer our fortune to witness for q long
time.
PIocHE STAGE LrNE.-By reference to
III advertising columns, it will be seen
TINT Travis & Co. are still running their
stages to Phoebe, also Schell Creek.
Every accommodation is furnished by
these enterprising stage men, and the
stock is unsurpassed in this country.
People desiring to go through on time,
would do well TO patronize this line.
