ABYssINIA HOLDS ITS GROUND. - An
Alexandria Egypt special Of May Goth
says; The fate of the Egyptian army in
Aoysslnia is exciting much comment.
The wal is doubtless finished. About
5000 soldiers have arrived at Suez, and
these, with others now on the way. are
awaiting embarkment at Massawah. In
all about $4,000. are said to be all that
may be expected. This leaves about 15.-
200 ~unaccounted for. Several thousand
were doubtless killed in battle, and the

wounds. The battle OF November last
caused the complete annihilation Of one

OF them returned 70 Egypt.

in Bitter Root valley; said friend being possessed
of a large ranch, on which he had just raised q

should " stake" him to q load OF potatoes ana

them to Helena for sale. This the friend agreed
to. and Marcus was fitted out with an ox-team
wagon and potatoes and an Indian for Q guide.
All went we'll till a stream called Hellgate was
reached, where, to make the story short, Marcus
and his Indian missed the ford and the whole
outfit was washed down the stream and lost
Marcus kept right on to Helena and the Indian
went back to the ranch and reported the accident
A couple of months afterwards, the rancher Wis

Marcus. who was l~ounging in front OF . saloon

REMOVAL.
"A SUFFERING STATE"
Under this heading the San Francisco

Examiner discourses as followes:
1.-THE Carson Appeal insinuates an in
tention on the part Of the owners of the
bonanza mines to take control, in their
owa interest, of the government of the
State of Nevada. by placing upon the
Supreme Bench aud in the Legislature a
sufficient number Of their friends and
agents to secure a repeal of the law taxing
the net product of the mines, now the
principal source of the State. We pre-
sume the owners of those mines can do
all this. if they choose. Their wealth is
SO vast and their control of the employed
classes, and those dependent upon the
custom Of that class. who constitute the
majority of electors in the State, is so abb
solute that the bonanza men can accom-
plish what they desire, no matter whether
it be popularity beneficial or not. There
is no reason, except that existing in their
self-abnegatory spirit. why they do not
eject one of themselves Governor, and
~
the other Senator. when the appropriate
time comes. Personally they may not
care for political distinction; anditserves
the same purpose when they are repre-
sented in both branches of Congress and
in all departments of the State by their
own agents. who dare not defy their will
at the peril of their soul source of liveli-
hood. Alas |! poor Nevada r.
The Appeal gives back the following
answer to the Examiner: The people of
this State will exact a pledge from every
Legislative candidate this year to pledge
himself to vote against the repeal of the
law taxing the net product of the mines.
Perhaps an exception may be found in
Storey. In case any party fails to re-
quire this, the doom of their candidates
il sealed. So the Examiner need not
again exclaim-''A Alas T! poor Nevada r
until it finds us bondthralls of the Be-
nanza Kings, one-half Of whom are al
ways Democrats and three-quarters most
of the time. Nevada is as well off fnan-
cially to-day as California, we would re-
mind the Examiner. and propose remain
ing so.

NEVADA IN THE EAST. The exhibition Of a
Nevada quartz mill at the Centennial, says the
San Francisco Stock Report, will have the effect
of directing a good deal of general attention to
the mining enterprises of the coast, and will,
perhaps. result in the investment Of consider
able outside capital among us. The mineral
wealth of Nevada has within the last few years
grown into q magnitude and Importance in for.
eign eyes which nothing on this continent has
hitherto attained, The exhibition of the quartz
crushing mill will bring the matter more
directly under their eyes, and will illustrate as
nothing else could do, the reality of the enter
prise it represents, and the necessity of capital
in the prosecution Of those enterprises. When
people have once left their own country for a
com bined excursion Of business and pleasure, a
week of extra time or q few hundred dollars of
extra expense are items of trifing moment,
:" ce rest le premier pas que cotae." Once the Brit
isher is thoroughly aroused from his island lair

and during this Centennial year we may expect
many a tourist of the solid class on this coast,
to be followed by many a dollar Of tourist CAPT.

1t has been conceded from the beginning that
Hartranft will be withdrawn, and that he viii
not be receiving q single vote in addition tothose
of Pennsylvania. Nobody even affects to doubt
that the Pennsylvania delegation will support
Conkling when Hartrsnft is withdrawn. With
the votes Of New York and Pennsylvania Conk-
ling only needs those of Ohio to secure his NOM

With this understanding, the Ohio delegates

pivotal States of New York and Ohio, on which
the election will mainly turn. Blaine is weak in

MINES IN THE GREAT EAST.


The following article was written by
Prof. Frank Stewart. q scientific gentle
man who knows whereof be speaks. hav-
ing visited all the prominent mines of
Eastern Nevada, while gathering speci-
mems for exhibition at the Centennial,
his suggestions are entitled to great con-
sideration gx
We feel gratifed and fattered by the announce
ment that Nevada's mineral collection 1t the
Centennial is incomparably superior in variety.
richness and beauty to any other collection at
the great show, and yet we feel q mixed regret
with our pleasure at the thought that, many Of
the patriotic donors Of those specimens are 1t
this moment too poor to attend the great Fair.
simply for the reason that capitalists will not
aid them in the development Of their rich silver
deposits. Interior Nevada is literally :" bound
and covered" with fathomless bonanzas of pre-
cious metals, and yet. with but few exceptions,
the self-denying. earnest men who have, by
hard manual labor. brought these matchless
treasure beds to the light of day, go unrequited
for their toll and have but slight hope of future
encouragement. Surely the enterprise and in
genuity Of our capitalists and mining engineers
ought to be able to devise some practical method
for unearthing the boundless wealth CT the
"Great East" 1t occurs to us that if there is
any portion Of -the world where labor and CAPT
tai might work tremendously and remunera-
lively together, it is in Eastern Nevada. The
silver lodges are innumerable and inexhaust-
able. The mines, in most instances, are easily
worked by shafts and adIts. The ores, whether
free or base, are always surprisingly rich in sill
yer. The peculiar typographical conformation
Of the country renders the mining localities all
easy Of approach by wagon-roads or by narrow
gauge railways. At many points the mines can
be readily and cheaply supplied with fuelf for
smelling and roasting ores, and, with all these
natural advantages, it seems strange that CAPT
talists from abroad do not turn their attention
to the Great East" The miners themselves
might accomplish vastly more than they now
do. if they would make a comfy of interest of
their labor by combining together and by max
ing pool" Of their respective claims. AS it
is, the mining men in the different camps too
frequently squander their time and substance in
vexatious and costly Law suits in relation to the
priority of locations, water-rights, dumpage and
drainage privileges and other burdensome points,
which might be avoided by combining the en-
tire mining business of the various camps. Our
suggestions may be deemed impracticable, but
since the old method of g every fellow on his
own hook" has completely failed, we earnestly
hope our friends in the Great East may give the
pooling plan '. a ~clatter."

DARING RoBBERY.-One Of the greatest robber-
les ever perpetrated in New Hanven, Conn, was
the burglary of the jewelry store of Kerby L
snow, on Chapel srteet, last Saturday night.
The bolts to the locks were forced back, and an
entrance to the store gained. The rivets were
drilled out. the clasp bars pried off and the outer
edges to the door forced apart, leaving exposed
the mechanism of the lock, which was broken
and everything valuable in the safe, including
one hundred gold watches. $1,000 worth Of
diamonds. and other precious articles were
taken. Loss. fully $50, QUO. A complete set of
burglar tools. of the finest make. were left be-
hind in cases of jewelry. The burglary was
committed in sight of the principal street Of the
city. 1t is creating a great sensation. The
watches and diamonds were the property of
customers of the firm.

A Times Washington special, while ad-
hitting that Blaine is SO farlikely to lead
in the convention, thinks that neither of
the candidates now particularly strong
can achieve the nomination, and there
are to be found many among the friends
of all the candidates that will admit that
many chances are in favor of some one
who has now not many delegates.
