a LIv Probability OF the Abandon
ment OF Fort Sanders.

Advices were received yesterday to
the effect that orders have been issued
from headquarters for the breaking up
of Fort Fetterman as a military post
and the transportation Of stores, sup
plies, etc, to Forts Washable and Nc
Kinney.
This is a nov that has been for some
time predicted, a prediction assured by
the recommendation made in official
reports published sometime since. The
necessity which prompted the estab,
lishment of the post vanished sometime
ago and it goes the way Of many other
once frontier posts.
Together with this expected news is
received official assurance of the break
ing up of Fort Sanders as well, which
had not been expected at so early 8
date to say the least.
This interesting bit of news tends tt
add a shade of certainty to the rumol
current OF the removal of the headquar
ters of the 4th infantry to Fort Russell
which would give this point the fine 4tf
Infantry band and companies B and E
1t would also make Fort Russell tn,
central supply and Quitting post O.
this part of the west, made all the NOR,
permanent on account of the conven
lent location for railroad communica-
ton. 1t would deprive our neighbor
Laramie City, of a fine lot of officer!

our gain"

J. c. Wier, who is developing copper
mines in Puebla District, in this coun-
ty. is in town. lie brought in some
samples of ore from his mines, which
contain 60 per cent copper. He says
there are three streaks, each a few
inches side, OF such ore in the vein.
L. Vary, of Bartlett Creek, some 30
miles from Puebla. says they have dis
covered some very fine copper mines in
that vicinity. The mines are quite ex-
tensive, and the ore carries high per-
centage of copper. The great trouble
seems to be the remoteness of the dis
trict from the railroad, which makes
the transportation Of the ore very ex-
pensive.

RAILROAD TAxES.
The Central Pacific Pays its ASSESS
ment 90 ihe County.

The Central Pacific Railroad Com
pany has paid into the County Treasury
the sum OF $40, ISL 81 in coin. that be.
ing the amount OF its taxes for the cur
rent year. The most ardent opponent
Of railroads must admit that it is good
thing to have rich corporation in a
county when taxes are due, and that
railroads are far preferable to any other
method yet discovered for crossing the
desert wastes OF Nevada. The Railroad
Company pays taxes ON its road bed at
the rate OF $4,000 per mile and proper
tionately on its rolling stock. side tracks,
unsold lands and other property with
out a murmur. In few years this,
with the increase OF taxes from indi.
vidual property, will wipe out the float
ing indebtedness of Humboldt, so that
the rate of taxation can be reduced ON
all property to what is actually required
to pay the expenses Of the county gov
eminent, and State taxes.

BARBED WIRE.
How 90 Build Fence That Will stand
for Years.

The agricultural editor of the Reno
Gazette gives the following advice to
its farmer readers: In building wire
fence the chief requirement is an i'm
movable end post. Several years ex-
perience has taught that an end post
needs to be set very firmly, to be of ex-
ira size and length, and so well braced
that there can be no possible chance for
it to be pulled over. The post had
best be set three and a half feet, and
the first post ten feet from it so that
it may serve for foot for the brace.
In carrying wire over the cups and
downs" of the land, it is disposed to
run" and the fence can be made
much stronger, and also guard against
this. by setting every tenth post three
feet, and tamping it with small stones
so as to hold it secure. Then in cross
ing hollows the tendency of the wire is
to Gift, so that ia the lowest places
extra care should be taken to set one
or more posts very deep and secure, so
that they cannot be affected by the con-
traction of the wire. Galvanized wire
is the best. Its cost is only one cent
per pound more. than the painted,
which is in realty no protection to the
metal, for it soon peels off, and then to
save the iron from rust it has to be
painted. and those only who have pain
ted barbed wire fence can enter into
the spirit of recital.
