A SAD accident occurred on Thursday last at the ranch Of tue Fuller Brothers. about four miles east of town, which re- suited in the death of Cesario Duran. About year ago Mir. c. W. Fuller dug well near his house and walled il up with large rock. The well is sunk through loose gravel and the flow of wa ter carries considerable fine sand with it.. which rendered frequent cleaning Of the well necessary. Last Thursday M.. Full Ter told Duran he would like to have him clean the well. Duran consented and was lowered in the bucket by Mir Fuller. The unfortunate man had just reached the bot tom when the walls fell with a crash, bury- ing him beneath a mass Of stone of many tons weight. MT. Fuller stood at the sur face mortified but entirely unable to afford any help; death Of course was instanta- neous. MT. Fuller and others had been in the we'll several times ana ie walls were considerea safe. Many parties visited the scene of the accident but none could be hired 10 remove the rock and remains. Mir. Duran is a Mexican by birth and his relatives live in Sonora.

Accident at the Webfoot.


 We learn from Mir Wm. O'Boyle, who was in town from the Pioneer District on Tuesday, that quite a se- rious accident occurred at the Web foot mine last week. A blast failed to explode and two men set to work drill ing instead of picking ;t out when sud denly the drill cut through to the pow der and the blast exploded. One of the men lost one eye and will probably loose the other if not his life. This is the second accident of this character that has occurred in this locality re- gently, and we trust it may lead to great caution in the future.

100 acres of land there is from one to
fifty acres of timber planted, many OF
the trees being now ten inches In
diameter, all planted since the railroad
was built through there. Wheat does
we'll there, making from twelve to
twenty bushels to the acre. From
Omaha down the Missouri river to
Kansas City, we passed through heavy
timber nearly all the way, dotted here
and there with nice farms which nave
been dug ont of the forests. 1t Is
astonishing after all the advice Horace
Greeley gave young men to "go west' "
that they would stop in such heavy
timber and grub out farm, when just
across the river was prairie land equally
as rich waiting the pillow of the hus-
bandman. We now cross the Missouri
river and enter Kansas. More anon.

EASTERN DISPATCHES


senator Jones ON the silver Bill.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.
Senator Jones to-day expressed be-
lief that all the senate amendments to
the silver bill will be adjusted by the
House under suspension of the rules.
He says he has no doubt that the Sec
rotary of the Treasury will efficientl..
carry its promises into effect by utiI-
izing all the available capacity of the
Mlnts for the coinage of silver bullion,
and that in the event of that officer
manifesting any disposition to restrict
silver coinage to the base of $4,000, 900
per month, as prescribed by the bill,
which seems to be apprehended by
some members of the House, it will be
very easy for either branch of q congress
to stipulate his action by means of an
admonishing resolution. The incorpo.
ration of Booths amendment by the
Senate into the bill has decidedly
strengthened it with the leaders of
silver reconciliation, and has obviated
the danger OF bringing the law into un-
popularity through accumulations of
unweildly silver coin in the hands of
business firms and institutions without
the convenient means of handling it.
Argument OF the Chinese Advocate.
The Committee on Education and
Labor, to-day, heard further argument
from j. p. Il. Kennedy, in opposition
to any restriction of Chinese immigra.
ton to the United States. The Com
mittee will hear the conclusion of his
argument next Thursday.

CANDIDATES FOR OFFICE :.

A correspondent of the Eureka Re-
publican gives the following list of can
didates for State and Congressional Of
fees: On the Republican SIDE there
are for Governor. W. w. Hobart, O. G.
Batterman, George A. King, r. M.
Daggett, DR.. s.. L. Lee, Allen A. Cur
tis and John II. Mills. j. H. Kinkead
of Unionville, is mentioned in connec-
sion with the position, as being in the
hands Of his friends.
For Lieutenant Governor, the cores
pondent says candidates are plenty.
Powning's name is mentioned, but he
is not considered able to carry the
strength of his party. Harry Mighele
is also talked Of, but his anti Admins
tration record is against him. This
means. though the correspondent does
not say SO that Mighels is unpopular
with the Federal brigade of the Repub-
lican party for being consistent Re-
publican. The most available man for
the place is said to be Jerry Moore. of
Elko county.
For Secretary of State. Jared Bah
cock of Storey county, is considered the
only prominent candidate, and for
Cle:k of the Supreme Court, Charley
Bicknell. the present incumbent seems
to have no opposition. -
For Judge of the Sapreme Court,
Hawley is willing to run, as matter of
duty to the people.
For State Treasurer, George Tufy of
Carson is named as the trump card,
because he is expected to poll strong
German vote. Tudy is native of
Switzerland, and is said to have been
strong French sympathiser in the
Franco. Prussian war ~
For Attorney General, G. N. Harris
Of Carson is considered an available
candidate. but g. s. Varian of Reno, S.
s. Grass of Hum boldt and Currer of
Nye, are mentioned in connection with
the position.
For State Controller, Theodore A.
Hale of Lincoln is without opposition.
and for State Superintendent of Public
Instruction, Parson Kelly has the in
side track. his opponent being Ham
mond. of Carson.
For Congressman, there is no opposi-
ton to Thomas. Wren. and for United
States Senator, John p. Jones has
clear field.
On the Democratic side, according to
the correspondent. the candidates are
comparatively : few. For Governor,
there are Hagerman and Bradley. and
for Lieutenant Governor. j. w. Adams
For Attorney General. John r.
Ki.'reil and. G.. w. Baker. of Eureka.
and for Treasurer. Jerry Schooling.
without opposition.
For Congress, G.. w. Cassidy. of
Enreka,. the: correspondent considers
the most. available candidate.
The facility. with which this cores
popdent fxes up asslate is really aston
ishing, He objects to Mighels because
of his oatspoken opposition to the Adj
ministration, and. asserts that John z.
Jones, who is next to Conkling. the
most uncompromising opponent of the
Administration IN the Senate, will re-
esive the unanimous support of the
Republican party for. reelection. 1t is
evident that consistency is not strong,
