HAMILTON
Incidents Of n Few Days sOujOurn
at the County Seat.

The NEWS reporter being tired Of the
monotony Of trying To gather up items
in the dull town of Cherry Creek, and
knowing that a broad field for some-
thing new and interesting was sure
to open at the county seat last week,
went hither. Nor we're we in tho
least disappointed. The little own
was full OF people from all sections of
the county, comprising many Of our
best and wealthiest citizens. Many
were in as Grand Jurors, others as
trial jurors, and still others OH bus
iness of their own From ial lor we
noticed Robert Briggs, W. q. Lyons,
Vim. Ba ssett and Charles Weiz III,
from Ward, Henry Hip and John
Henry; White River, X. Haydon and
George Ell SOIL, Eberharut, Capt.
Drake and Alex Muir, and NJ. s..
Sharp from Cold Greek. OF course
there was n large delegation from
Steptoe Valley and our own town.
Spring Valley way represented by L.
keegan, p. Flannagan, Mr.. Olgers
aud the Bassett Bros, besides the
O'Neil family aud their witnesses,
many OF whom we did not know.
But We are DEPRESSING, our aim in
this article is 10 give our Impressions
OF Hamilton and It's people. We
know them all. They are our old
friends, and though we have made
new ones since we left there, few are
AS true and hospitable us those We left
at the old amp
Among those whom we had the
pleasure of meeting atthe county seat,
who are intimately connected with
the development and prosperity OF
that section were Capt. frank Drake,
Of the EUerhard; e. n. Robinson, OF
the Sweetwater, aud j. X. K.ndall
and Frank Cutting of the Jennie A
and Ward Beecher Companies. Ali
these gentlemen have large mining
interests around Hamilton, and all
speak hopefully OF the future.
Mr.. Robinson has started to New
York and expects to return i'll the
Spring To resunne operations.
Mr.. Kendall, whom we had not seen
for four years lhe has been in Europe
for two years., looks as hale and
hearty as OF yore. We learned from
him tnat the Jennie A people would
do something next Sp.ing. Taey have
one OF the most valuable base nines
IN Eastern Nevada.
At the Court House everything was
going on like clock work with our
county officials. Treasurer Iiddle
was busy as "A bee, had piles OF coin,
checks and postal orders all around
him. lie told us That The county's
vas coming in very
promptly. Ills othce Is a miniature
fortress. Sam doesn't intend ~ be
caught mapping.
The Sheriff was at his Office, on the
alert for indictments, and ready 10
close the great iron doors OH any aud
all unfortunate victims wdo might
chance TO pass under the ban OF the
Grand Jury. Deputy Recorder Wood
III we found busy, but courie-
Gus aud aifabIe TO ali who calleI at
his office. Clerk Campton and his
able deputy, MeKernan, had their
hands iull, attending TO Court and
office work. Attorney Treece, dur
m.ermissions from the Grand Jury
room, was around exchanging civil.
tiles with his many friends.
The lodging houses we're all full,
but such Is the hospitality OF the
Hamilton landladies that room was
made for all.
At the saloons tie proprietors and
barkeepers had theI hands full wait
ing on their customers, but for all that
they found time 10 converse with
and entertain old friends.
The slores-Mathewson Bros. and
James Reilly - carry large stocks,
seem TO be doing u good business, and
are hopeful u better times III pros
pect. Mathewson Bros. carry the
largest aud best stock oil ladies' goods
in White Pine county.
Altogether, our visit 10 Hamilton
was "A pleasant one, and we have moth.
ing but words of praise for Its people
and those whom we met there. We
we're detained a day longer than u
duties 1t home warranted, but for that
little mishap we have the consolation
OF knowing that the company we re
manned in was lar preferable To that
we had intended To accompany.
