nooted the matter; but he soon found
himself like to be outlawed from all legis-

in his intentions and efforts. Bat the
subject IS still alive; and not only does
it, as presented in the following, by the
Alpine Miner, concern the immediate in
terests Of Monitor and the adjacent
country, but the business community of
Carson as well. Says that excellent
paper:
SO far as lis civil and political status
IS concerned. Alpine county belongs to
the commonwealth Of California. Bat in

cially our whole trade, business and in

True. Alpine has been under cloud

vein and artery OF business has beea
choked out OF the county. Bat there is
2 new lie for Alpine, and in that new
lie there is wealth of mining resources
that cannot fail to add greatly ana d.
ractly to the trade OF Carson City. And
il is matter Of amazsment that tll-
many and enterprising business men Of
shat live and growing town should fail 10
take more active part III the develop
meut OF the immense mineral wealth Of
Alpine. The direct benefit to Carson
would be simply iucalculahle; ard it Is
at once patent to the most casual obser-
Yer that the prosperity and wealth OF
Carson City depend upon its tcade and
business with the country south Of i. Ii

to be the great mining center fer all the
business and trade growing out OF the

ton in the completion OF the Columbus

done by energetic cooperative action. 1t
strikes us that this Alpine business pre-
sents a field for like investigation and
endeavor to that which WIS had regard
ing the borax-deposites and silver-mines
of Esmeralda county. At any rate this
suggestion of our Alpine contemporary
should not pass UNDECIDED by the bust
