PROF. D. z. SESSIONS and lady left last
evening for their Elko home. They have
tsrried some time in our midst, and their
presence will be missed by their large
circle of friends. The Professor in
formed us that the pext term at the
University will begin on Monday, and
that the prospects for large number OF
additional scholars were flattering in the
extreme. We wish him success in his
work.
Ia. other night We read about man
being assaulted in Virginia with club
or some other similar weapon, but now
We hear of a man being knocked over in
his buggy by stone. and this N the
way of amusement for some rascally
boys. 1t was in the evening. and after
the bows had seen the result of their
throw, they took to their heels IN flight.
That would be called dangerous anuse-
ment in Carson.
DURING she absence Of the Supezin-
tendent of the Alps Mine, in Phoebe,
Theo. Hale is in charge of affairs. Theo-
do-e is we'll known in Carson, and that
everything will prosper under his man
aeement, no one will doubt. Mr. A. j..
Blair, the Superintendent. is Senator
from Lincoln, and at present attending
to his official duties in Carson.
THE usual morning and evening ser
vices will be held to-day in the N. E.
Church. The Pastor Will conduct the
same. The Hallowed Name" will be
the subjec. of the morning discourse.
and "Hoodlumism" the subject Of the
discourse in the evening. Seats free,
All aye invited to attend.
JUICE MERRILL, Prosecuting Attorney
of Eureka county, is spending few days
in Carson. He is looking we'll. and
seemingly is of the opinion that Presby-
terian sccialS are q success.
THERE is to be benefit in Virginia
on Monday evening for the families Of
Paddock and Hughes. Little Nell and
her troupe will take an active part IN the
same.
REV. JOSIAH MCLEAN will preach in
the Presbyterian church at the usua
hours this morning and evening.

TIE fureral Of Senator Bakers little

we're only typical Of those in the hearts
Of the mourners, and the scene in gen

assembly. Afterwards the procession
took its course to the cemetery where a
taw words we're uttered and then the
grave closed over the little boy forever.
We noticed tho presence Of the Gov

presiding officers Of both the Senate and

conf lete!y worn out with their arduous
duties. and in consequence adjourned to
Monday. Their room yesterday was
silent and deserted. The day before. all

now not sound disturbed the stiffness
Of the place. The desks were empty,
the seats were vacant, the aisles were
uuoccupied. Not even a fly buzzed across
the room, not even the tick Of the old
clock relieved the monotony of the oc
casion. The carpet was scrupulousiy
clean under the broom of Mike, the spit
toons we're in despair over the lack Of
their accustomed food. Everywhere
quiet reigned supreme. and the scene
ms one to move the most solid heart.

SURRENDER OF CRAZY HoRsE's BAND
\ dispatch from Camp Robinson, Ne

surrender off, Crazy Horses
band took place at this point at
P. N. to-day. The whole affair passed
off very quietly. The band numbers
nearly 300 Sioux, under Crazy Horse,
Little Hawk. He Dog and Little Big
Man. CrazyvHorse said he was max
ing this peace to last. The ponies
surrendered are estimated to number
nearly $500. They, seem to be in
very good condition, and have many
American horses and mules among
them. As soon as the lodges were
erected detachment of Indian sol
diers, under Lieutenant Clark, of Gen
eral Crooks staff, went to each one
and obtained the number of it's in
mates, as. well as the surrender Of all
the arms. This task is not completed
but up to the time Of writing over one
hundred guns have been obtained
chiefly improved breech leaders. Crazy
Horse gave up three Winchester RI
des. Little Hawk gave up two. The
Indians present a good appearance,
but the village shows signs of uhceas.
ing pursuit of,thep past year. Many
lodges ARE very odd and almost in
rags. Great numbers of this band
have neverseen a reservation before,
Little Hawk, one of the principal
chiefs, wears about his neck silver
medal presentedto his father by Pres
ident Monroe in 1911. This
arrival makes the aggregate number
of northern Indians who have. sur.

CALIFORNIA papers, and private let
tiers from California, indicate that hard

CALIFORNIA papers, and private let
tiers from California, indicate that hard
times exist there. Crop prospects are
unfavorable; the gold yield will be
light; pasturage, except in a few 10
caIities, is so poor that cattle and
sheep are dying by the thousand, all
on account of drouth The country
seems to be overstocked with labor, a
great many men are idle, being una
BILE to obtain employment, and gener-
al hard times prevail. The Sacramen-
to Union says: Thousands of sheep
have recently been killed in the south
ern counties for their tallow and pelts;
thousands of others have died; some
sold for fifty cents and dollar per
head, and many driven to the foothills
for pasturage."
We talk a great deal about hard
times in Idaho. Times are hard; but
when compared with other sections
west of the Rocky mountains, the
comparison is in our favor Our beef
and mutton are fat, grassis abun-
dant and crop prospects favorable.
In Boise county the gold product
from placer mines will not be equal
to last year, but bctter.than was an
ticipated at the opening of spring.
The yield from quartz will probsbly
be greater than heretofore. There
are hundreds of new locations, with
most favorable prospects, from which
not much will be expected this year,
but to which we look with hope in the
future.
The Banner mines will be started
up shortly by Mr. G. w. Crafts, with
L. H. McIrwin Superintendent This
mill is said to be complete in all its
arrangements, and as the ore of the
mines is known to be good, we may
expect favorable results. IA. .tI....
The Gold Hill mine never fails to !
come to time. The Sub Rosa mill will be
ready to go to crushing their rich ore
ia less than three months. The Eure-
Ia has been leased by a company of
practical working miners, and can
hardly fail to pay we'll before the seas
on is over.
A Number of other lodges in the
same vicinity prospect well, and there
are mills sufficient to work the ore
they may take out The Ebenezer
mine is making splendid showing Of
rich quartz. the only thing remaining
70 be proven being the extent Of the
ledge The Tiger, Magma Charta and
Others in the direction of Summit
Flat, too numerous to mention, have
inost favorable prospects.
Though times are hard, we can turn
our thoughts in no direction where
they are not equally as hard or harder, |.
and, taking all things Into considera-
ton, we have much to be thankful for,
and much to encourage as to vigorous
effort. We are too young to think of
decrepitude, and toe rich in natural
resources to complain, if times are dull
