The Silver State goes pretty lively
after some of the Nevada editors and
State officials who have of late been
engaged in quilting the public in re-
gard to the actual condition of the
State School Fund. That paper says:
The Eureka Sentinel says there are
$500, 900 in the State School Fund.
Nominally there may be that amount
in the Fund, but in reality there is
not one sixth of it, rs the assets OF
the School Fund consists of State
bonds, which the financial officers OF
the State, in their monthly reports,
represent as assets of the State. There
is a $3.50. 900 State bond in the School
Fund which is paraded monthly be-
fore the people to the credit OF the
State, AMI officials think the public
too simple to see the deception. That
bond has been made TO do duty on
the credit side of the monthly state
ment as assets to the State. while the
Superintendent Of Public Instruction
utilizes it i'm making The School Fund
$500, 900. Though it could not be
suld to-day for one-half its face value,
it is one of the most valuable bonds
conceivable to the State officers.
They use it one day as an asset OF the
State, and the next as an asset Of the
School Fund, and fancy all the time
that they are d~eceiving the public
with this financial thimble-rigging
device.

CHERRY

Its Past History and Present Status.
From Thompson X Vests History Of Me-
vada.
Cherry Creek is located in the mining dis
trict Of the same name. ut the mouth of Cher
ry Creek Canyon. near the eastern slope of
the Egan Range. Its elevation is 600 feet
above the sea. and its location is superb for n
town. Tho discovery of the mines in ls72 and
the formation of the district in the Fall Of
that year, led to the organization of the town
in the Spring of 1873. The growth Of tho
place during the following year vas most re-
markable. At the election in 1874 over 500
votes were cast. Wells. Fargo X Co. opened
an office in 1873. Also a postofice was estab-
lished, which in 1915 was made a money-order
office. In 1873 many people moved away, but
the town has remaiued about stationary in
population since 1875, there being $50 at the
last census.
The nearest railroad stations are Toano and
Wells, on tbs Central Pacific, and each ninety
miles distant. A tri-weskly mail is brought
from Wells. but the freight il broaght mostly

The History of Nevada.

We have been shown an advance
copy of this work, and from the linz
tied time at our command to inspect
it, are not as yet prepared TO pass final
Judgment on its merits or dement's.
1t is a large volume of 700 pages, well
printed on good paper, and fairly
bound. 1t is %profusely illustrated
with steel and wood portraits, most of
the former being well executed, but
many of the latter simply horrible
botches of the wood e~ngraver's art,
which no one would recognize were it
not that the names OF the subjects are
plainly written or printed underneath.
A casual glance through the book led
us to the conclusion that, while con-
tanning much valuable information,
and showing much labor in its pre-
PARTON, too much space is devoted to-
cheap wood-euts of minor personages.
IF there are any, VIC have failed to find
a single portrait Of the many pronli-
nent men who we're identified with
the early history Of the Territory and
State that have passed away. s'Tickle
the living" and ''let the dead and the
beautiful rest" has been the aim of
the publishers OF this history. Further
examination may reveal greater mer-
its in the work, and il such shall be
the case we shall point them out.

Considering tho shortness of tho time de-

ographs and wood cuts with bat few excep-
'ions. Judging the whole history by that
portion referring to the sections with which
we nave had an opportunity to become ac-
quaintcd, We unh stately pronounce il a val

The San Francisco Stock Report,
speaking of this benevolent institu-
ton, says: 1.-The gentlemen in charge
of the vete rams Home Fund, have
every reason to be satisfied with the
result of their labors. Until last Sat
urday there was actually subscribed
in San Francisco and thirty-fonr in
terror places S29,6s The thirty-four
places represented less than me
fortieth of those to be heard from.
1t is confidently expected, in fact it is
assured, that every town on the Coast
will subscribe, no matter how small
the sum. 1t is only necessary for
600. 900 to be raised TO secure the es-
Establishment of the Home, and there
is no longer the slightest doubt OF
raising the amount within the next
three months. No thorough canvass
of this city has yet been made, and
the committees have held aloof from
approaching our capitalists until the
Home should be more than a mere
idea. They will be seen, and the city

WHITE PINE NEWS
SATURDAY. DECEMBER 81. 1881
A word About Ourselves.

One year ago tomorrow the first
number of the News was issued in
Cherry Creek. Unlike those who
preceded " here in the journalistic
field, we came without the aid or as
sistance OF any n to establish a legiti-
mate business enterprise, and publish
a paper which we intended should
rely for support solely on its merits
and the patronage of the community.
No class, clique or individual was to
dictate our course or control our ut
terance, because we were tram
melted by none of the many obi
cations to individuals which usu-
ally surround the Inauguration of
country papers, and which after
wards, in a majority of cases, utterly
destroy their usefulue IS. Our aim
has been to serve the many, and not
to please the few, and we are glad to
state that in this course we have been
upnelu by the generous paronage
bestowed on Us, and now the NEWS
is henceforth to be considered one Of
the permanent institutions of Cherry
Creek. 1t is true we have labored
hard and done our utmost to advance
the interests of the community. How
far we have succeeded, we leave our
readers to judge. We are satisfied
with our venture, and feel grateful to
our friends and patrons on this the
eve of our first anniversary. With
q firm resolve to steer our craft clear
of breakers in the future as we have
in the past, we wish our readers,
one and all, "a Happy New Year.
