AACkEY & FAIRS EXTENSIVE
WOOD AND TIMBER OPERA
TONS.

The Reno crescent Of Thursday fur
nishes the following Interesting state
nent Of the operations Of Iessrs. Mackey
Il Fair. in the timber lands Of Washoe
county:
Yesterday. at the invitation Of Mr..
Hast. we visited Mackey h Fairs works
On the mountains, located about twelve
miles southwest Of Reno. 1t is Sener-
ally known that Messrs. Mackey l. Fair
are the owners Of large tract OF timber
land at the point indicated, and for some
time past hava had large force OF men
at work, under the superintendent OF
John Il, Knox, cutting cord wood. build
ing mills, fumes, bitches. ETC.. as laid
out by Civil Engineer Hast for the conf
pany. At Camp No. l We found saw
mill running. though not yet completed.
the carpenters being now engaged In en-
closing the skeleton mill. whilst the
machinists are setting second boiler.
With the additional power supplied the
capacity of this mill will be 6o,Wn feet
of lumber every twenty four hours. At
this point quite little town has sprung
UP. the company supplying their men
with lumber free OF charge for building
purposes. There are three hundred men
employed at Camp No. !. and the pay
roll reaches SO. 600 per month. At Camp
No. there are one hundred and fifty
men employed, The mill at this camp
is capable of manufacturing %, 900 feet
Of lumber per day, % we are informed.
for we did not feel equal to the labor OF
climbing the mountain to this location.
Messrs. Mackey d Fair have vast
amount Of cord-wood already cut, por-
ton of which will be 1un by tlume to
point near Hutfaker's. The remainder
must be shipped to the Truckee via the
Hunter Ra,ine. down which fume IS
to he constructed SO soon as clrcum-
stances will permit. We are aware that
this article gives but faint idea o! the
magnitude Of Messrs. Msokev i Fair $
operations In this country. We can only
say that ne were astonished at what We
saw, ami after looking at the works are
constrained to express the opinion that
the work already done viii necessitate
the doing OF much more. We now have
implicit faith in another railroad con-
Meeting Reno with Virginia, and as
Washoe county furnishes so large por-
ton of the supplies necessary to sue
cessful working of the Consolidated Viz
Rinia and California mines-the bonanza
we shall hereafter feel lively interest
in the successful working of these Won
derful mines.

CONCERNING GORBAM.
The San Diego Union has the follow
in, editorial statement:

The San Diego Union has the follow
ing editorial statement:
Some Of the newspapers have fre-
auently mentioned the name of Mr..
Gorham as a candidate for the Cover
norsbip. We have had the question asked
of that gentleman, and his response was
that he was not candidate. and that
under no circumstances would he allow
the use of his name at the State Conven-
ton. He says that his name has been
mentioned by enemies for reasons Of
their own.
Commenting on this statement, the
Sacramento Record says: The SUBJ
stance of this statement was teiesraphed
to US at the date IF its appearance. but
We reproduce it now in order to afford
those independent organs which have
evidently failed to perceive ii. another
opportunity for correcting their previous
misstatements in this connection. OF
course. those papers would have given
the promptest circulation already if it
had not unfortunately escaped their at
tention." This ought to relieve Mr.
Gorham from further annoyance on the
score indicated.

CATCHING A CANNON BALL.

Another American has distinguished
himself abroad. His name is Holtum.
and be has lately been attracting atten-
ton q. the FoIies Beryeres. in Pans, BY
having a cannon ball fred at him and
catching it with his hands. The prodiG-
uous feat was witnessed nightly, and al
though the actors present avowed that
there was no trick, Pierre Veron, Of the
Monde Uiustre, would not believe it. he
said that the cannon ball must be thrown
to Holtum from the stage. The latter
made be. Of 5000 francs that he would
perform the feat under conditions which
left no room to doubt. and when the bet
was taken Veron designated habille as
the place for the trial. All the journal
lists in Paris were invited, and they
found Holtum there before his cannon.
1t was examined with minute care, and
the heavy ball was passed from hand to
hand. Il am no more in my own
house." said Hol,um, "you are master
here, and YOU must watch over all the
arrangements" Having carefully aimed
and dashed his cannon, it was charged
and Holsum took his place against a
plank target some ten yards away. This
vas to show that the ball was solid. and
the force of the powder great enough to
send it through the plank. Holtum got
the aim OF his gun. and then placed his
head in a certain position against the
plank. giving the command to fire. The
ball Just graged the hair and broke
through the plank. rolling some twenty
yards further on. The same ball was
picked up by the journalists, Who again
charged the cannon and sent home the
ball, and this time Holtum caught the
ball in his hands as neatly as he does
nightly upon the stage He won his bet
and no one seemed disposed to accept
his offer of 5000 francs to any one who
would perform the same astounding
feat. The ply steal force required must
be enormous, but Holtum showed his
strength by tossing up cannon balls as If
they were SO many ages. The only
precautions taken a. very simple; be
wears very thick leather gloves. and
covers his breast with many thicknesses
of thin paper to form \ sort of cnirass.
This looks like n very dangerous feat.
and particularly the first part Of IT. where
Holsum places his head against the tar.
get half an inch below where the ball
will probably strike. If the powder
should chance to be defective, some day
there might be an accident, swapping his
head very neatly of.

JOIN D. LEE.-The Phoebe Record, OF
May p, has the following item relating
to the notorious John d. Lee:
Mr.. W. ". Bishop, the distinguished
lawyer OF this town, and who is engaged
as counsel for J. u. Lee, under indict-
ment for participation in the Mountain
Meadow Massacre. left town few days
since for Beaver. at which post Lee is
imprisoned. Since Mr.. Bishop reached
Beaver he writes word that he has sue
ceeled in obtaining Lee the liberty Of
the post instead of being closely confined
in the military prison. As the question
OF Lees guilt or innocence is to be made
the subject of judicial inquiry We make
no comments upon his case. but We GER
tainly hope that proper precautions will
he taken so that when the trial is to take
place that the accused will be forth
coming.

THERE ARE some things which every
body feels at liberty to talk about
whether he has seen them or not. Thus
We comment on mines and crops and
foreign countries and the bottom of the
sea, aad nobody questions the right of
doing so; but new book is one Of the
things that We have Mt any night TO criti-
ciss without first having read it. This is
obvious enough, and We should not be
tax IN IL tine act os saying as trite
thing, only We are greatly tempted to as
suDe tie right TO say something about
General Sherman's Few book. although
we have never seen it and never reaC
ANYTHING written therein save some ex-
tracts found in q lengthy notice in late
number Of the New York Heru.d. Shef-
man seems to have done a Characteristic
act il the writing of this book. In an
excessive degree he possesses ''the
bluntDess of q soldier" This bluntness.
mixed with an irascitle temper and many
into'erant prejndices fit the General to
write q very readable book-and that is
JUS: vba. he seems to have done, for
everybody is talking about it, and peo-
pie don't pay mucf: attention to dullness
in books. editorials or scandal trials
But the qualities which make Sherman
. good card for the publishers quite unfit
him for an impartial writer Of history or
for being just judge Of men and things.
He has q gay OF going of half-cocked on
pretty much everything, especially in
the matter Of opinions Of what is going
on about him and estimates Of the men
With whom he is brought in contact. 1t
is simply supererogatory to say that this
book is in defiance of all the accepted
rules and ideas of good taste-superer-
ogatory, because Sherman is = notorious
repudia.cr of all those rules: But it is q
very great piece of i'll manners even for
. rough riding trooper like Sherman.
while holding the position Of the Gen
eral-in-chief Of the army. to denounce
his associates and harshly criticise his
suborjinstes as he is reported to have
done in the case Of Hooker and others.
There need be no fear but that Sherman
will keep up lis end of any controversy
and keep it well spiced; and the proba-
bility Of this beck having the effect Of
provoking many another one from mil
itary men gives us well-grounded ap-
prehension Of q soon-eoming inundation
Of baltle-born literature.

status certified by the governor of the |
state. The incorporators are Samuel
Klauber, of Madison, and Terrell Thomas
and G. A. Sumner, of Baraboo. Mr..
Thomas is president, and Mr.. Sumner is
secretary and treasurer. The capital
stock is $4,000. Being recently in the
Office Of Mr.. Thomas we were shown a
map of the company's lands, which are To-
Gated in jackson county, this state. and
compromise ,405 acres in one body. The
most Of this large tract is natural Gran
berry marsh, as we are informed About
70 acres on the margin OF the marsh are
covered with pine timber. A small Island
near the middle of the marsh IS similarly
timbered. The rest of the property Is
represented to be available tor cranberry
culture. =,
The map alluded to also illustrates the
company's plan for improving the proper
ty. In the southwest corner OF the tract
they would put warehouse 5Ox76 and
three stories high, in which the berries
brought in from the marsh would be
cleaned, assorted and packedfor shipment.
Leading to this warehouse they propose to
have q railway running diagonally through
the marsh to the northeast corner of the
tract, with branch lines leading to all the
distant portions of the marsh north or
south of this main line. For the flooding
Of the marsh with water number Of food
ing dams are to be provided, which will be
supplied with water from a neighboring
creek, under law of this state which per
mits the waters of streams to be used tor
agricultural purposes. And in addition to
the building alrendy mentioned, the plan
provides for ten or d Men more OF suitable
proportions, to be used by the working
people necessarily employed.
The location of this tract is quite favor
able. 1t is five miles east of Warren.
Mills on the West Wisconsin railroad, anc
six miles from Norway ridge, on the Wis
consin Valley road f; while it is only five
miles due north, from the junction of thes'
roads. The fresh interest recently givel
to cranberry culture through the existenc
of the market for berries to Eng land. AM
even to China, would seem likely to en-
nance the value of property so elIglbly 10
Gated as this would.appear to be. 1t is salt
that some of the New jersey cranberr
lands cost fifteen hundred dollars pc
acre by the time they are under cultiya
ton, SO great was the expense of adapt
ling them to this special use. Here il
Wisconsin we have marshes on which tn
berries grow wild, and where the expens
of complete adaptation to the cultlvate
crop is comparatively trihing.
