The was,erul Reservation.

A range of mountains extends along
the west side of Walker Lake which
is full of mineral lodges, The reserva-
ton includes the richest portion of
the mineral belt, and probably not ten
Indians visit this section in . Year
Some of these lodges have been proS
pected; on one considerable work was
done by the discovererS, who We're not
aware that they We're ON holy ground,
which was not to be profaned by the
sinful industry of white men. They
developed very fine mine, and then
learned that they could receive moth
ing for it, because the Government
thought it necessary to maintain res
ervation to crafty the vanity of few
wrinkled old chiefs and to assist in
the disbursement of the revenue.
There is timber ON this range and
water even to the tops of the peaks.
In the canons are tracts of arabic land
which would be cultivated if white
men were permitted to go there and
make homes. All prospectors who
have been over the range agree in re
porting that it is very rich and that
the mines could be easily worked.
Nevertheless, although the Indians
scarcely ever go on these mountains,
and then but to hunt stray horses, no
one may make use Of the wealth that
lies there guarded by The reservation
line.
Now, when the expense of keeping
up the reservation does no good to any
person, aud when its abandonment
would simply be taking away from
the Indians some territory which they
neither need nor use, can anyone show
wherein the injustice would lie in
throwing it open to The whites, who
would utilize ,he resources, and, in so
doing, make living easier and better
for. the indians, WHO much prefer
hanging around mining camps to
drawing rations on reservation.

The Court-h Ouse.

The Aurora people have been able
to delay the letting of the Court house
contract, so that the building can not
be finished by July list, but the county
seat will be in Hawthorne at that time
by operation of law, and it will be the
duty of the several county officers TO
remove their Offices to this place. 1t
may be that the location of the Court
house wall have to be changed, but it
will not affect the business interest of
the town. In order to prevent further
delay, the Railroad Company has de-
termined if necessary, to provide lots
for the site of the county buildings
in some other quarter than that origin
ally intended. This will only be done
in the interest of the town, and will
cost the company considerably more,
but the managers viii justify the faith
which induced people to invest here
even if it is expensive. 1t is probable
though that nothing of this kind will
be necessary, as in all likelihood the
news of the release of the mortgage
will be received in time to take away
from the opponents their only sub
stantial objection and drive them
again to the quibble about signature.

= A sound County.

Those who feared for the financial
standing of the county will probably
feel relieved when they learn that
county scrip sold for par in Aurora
last week. There was considerable
competition among purchasers and
the price was rapidly rum up from
eighiy-five cents to par At first the
Aurora men thopgh they would
gather in the scrip of Hawthorne jury
men at figures low enough to CORE
spond with the high prices charged
them fer board and lodging; but they
would net sell, and the demand for
county securities bearing per cent
interest was s@ great that, rather than
allow the hated Mawthorners to carry
off the paper, they paid dollar for
dollar. 1t is thus we see how the
county has been broken down by the
removal of the county seat and the
loss of part of Mason Valley. In fact,
as this paper had occasion to mention
some time ago, there is fair chance
that the scrip may even rise above par.

though but short distance has been

Last Thursday the goods in Martins
restaurant were sold at Constable's
sale. 1t seems that Martin doubted
the jurisdiction of the officers conduct
ing the sale and got very much excited
over what he considered the injustice
done him. His wrath was chiefly
manifested against J. C. Bray, attorney
for the plaintiff in the suit under
which the goods were sold, and, after
various hostile remarks, at last either
did strike or made a motion to strike
Bray in the face. Bray then struck
Martin, and for time there was quite
lively scutlie. Constable Mooney
separated them and the sale went on
without further disturbance. The
people of Coryyille, while admitting
that Martin who is colored man, was
the aggressor and forced the disturb
ance, appear to sympathize with him
ON the ground that they claim that he
was excited over his losses. For a
time general fight was imminent, as
nearly every man in town was anxious
to see the sale stopped and the colored
man get chance to save some of his
property. They do not, however, de.
fend his conduct in creating a dis
turbance, but while coudemning that,
express belief that had the constable
not interfcred he would have got the
best of his enemy, the attorney.

which he is now almost assured.

Some interesting stories arc told OF
the early days, when the Queen was
oblighed to sign death warrants, before
she was relieved from thul odious dutv,
and sign manual substituted by Act
OF Parliament. On several occasions
the Queen may be said TO have begged
off the life of offenders And on ono
occasion, with hand trembling viii
emotion, she wrote "paruo rel across
the fatal scroll, A great degree, of
reticencc is very properly imposed on
all connected with the court. Her
Majesty, on principle, has always
steadily discouraged anything in the
way of gossip or trivial conversation
respecting the affairs of the household.
So many persons are brought into

such rule were carefully observed.

h Novel Point.

The case of Boynton VS.. Longlcy,
tried before udce Rising in the Dis
trict Court Of Washoe county, is one
of much interest to farmers. Boynion
owns piece of land lying ADJACENT to
u tract owned by Longley. Longley's-
land is higher than Boynton's, and as
he irrigates by artificial means he
necessarily has waste water, which, of
course, finds its level on Roynlon's
tract, thereby DANA gi'ng the latter's
crops. The question to be decided
was whether Long!ey was Obliged 10
take care of his waste water, or wheth.
er he could allow it to seek its levol or,
another mans properly when il was
damaging him. Judge Rising has de

is scarcely question that it will soon
lie one of the best districts on the

lobe Crossman, who has had as
much experience in fire matters as
almost any man on the Coast, was in
town on Thursday expressed much
surprise that the fire department was
not organized. He suggested that two
cisterns be put in on main ST. eet then,
with good hand engine and 500 feet
of hose, an ordinary fire could be kept
from destroying the whole town. 1t
should not be necessary to remind the
citizens of Hawthorne that almost
every new town on the Coast has
su ilered from neglecting to provide in
time for small fires, which will inevi-
tably occur. A small fire soon be-
comes "a large one in towns composed
wholly of frame houses, If there aIe no
means of controlling it, and the dis
astrous experience of other places
should teach our people to be prepared.
