A RICH GoLD-pnoDUcING CLAIM
Nevada Transcript. January 4th, j

NoNala ilahsciiptf oduudI1 4lu,l
DR. Holdsworth, who has been engaged
extensively as prospector in this sec-
tion of the State for seven years or more,
has been in the city for two or three days
exhibiting specimens of rock and gravel
from his claim at Milton. For the bene.
fit of those who are not posted regarding
the topography OF that neighborhood, 1t
might be well to state that Milton is on
the ridge II miles east of Forest City,
seven miles south of the Buttes, and on
the boundary lines of Nevada and Sierra
counties. DR.. Holdsworth has 32O acres
OF gravel claims. which have had their
rchne ss demonstrated by being carefully
prospected. He says he has taken out
some nuggets that weigh over seven
ounces each. and find many that pro-
duce from S. to SIS worth of gold apiece.
There are two benches of gravel, and the
face of tue csposi. on each bench is from
rs to 100 feet wide Tbere gre said to be
no less than dozen ledges OF gold. silver
and copper bearing rock on the Holds
worth land, and they are from so to 100
feet wide, all pay ors The rock is heav-
lily charged with sulphurets, of a free
milling character. and the owner has
every reason to believe from assays made
that it will yield about $50 per ton There
are millions of tons OF this ore in the
nine, and all that is necessary to reallz+
handsome returns from it's working is q
reasonable investment of capital. For
any one who possesses the necessary
amount of experience and energy, and
has good financial backing, it appears
'hat the property IN question holds out
good inducements. All of the above in.
formation is obtained directly from Mr..
Holdsworth. who vouches for its correct
ness.

The EARTH PROGRESS "A new SOL

by which the hourly progress of the
earth throuh space can be noted. 1t is
ABOUT six feet high, consisting of an iron
tripod and delicate pendulum. There is
an index attached to the upper portion
of the pendulum, and when the pendu-

apparent, and the needle shows about
one degree of deviation. In one hour
the movement is so marked that the dis.

FOR SHERIFF.

The Republican candidates are before the peo-
pie. Elsewhere We have spoken Of all but the
| sheriff. In regard to our candidate, Mr.. J. D..
Sims, it is opr pleasure and duty to make few
| statements. It is frequently said and is now
generally admitted that the better the man the
meaner the stories. We have personally known
Mr.. Sims for many years. Long before he was
elected Commissioner for this District he was
known and universally liked by our best citizens.
True he had faults as all men have. but it was
generally accepted fact that he was in
every respect q fair, hoRorable man. He had
hosts Of friends. When in the stock business he
always paid what he agreed to-and generally
little more. In was considered fortunate that We
had man who would pay as much and oftener
more than anyone else. 1t helped our town and
our business men will all sustain US in saying
that he did great deal in quiet, unassuming
way for the general interest of the community
and county. He was elected Commissioner and
some feared that II was not Q wise selection. He
was . stock man, and might not be q good
enough business man. But his friends knew he
was honest and true. In the refunding Of our
county bonds Mr.. S. has taken firm and decid-
ed stand sad for that he fairly deserves credit
which many would willingly take. His ere

might be extended, but We shall resume . por-

Forgive US, Father, We can but weep,
For what can our weary hours beguile,

To dwell with the loved ones gone before,
To that sinless land-the heavenly shore.

But WIS welcomed by angels pure and fair;

And our faith shall pierce the mist and gloom
