The Fourth Of July .

Hawthorne should celebrate the
fourth of July. 1t is not probable
that ANY OF our neighbors will do so,
and we can extend to them an invit-
atioR to come and join us. In addition
to the general sentiment OF patriotism
which should urge us to commemorate
the Nations birthday, it should be re.
nembcred that the signfng Of the
Declaration of Independence was the
first Of a grand series of events which
led to the removal of the county seat
from Aurora. Had the great paper
never been signed cosNty lines and
county seats would not now be i'm
poItant questions. The Legislnaurc of
Nevada would not have met in Carson
last winter, for this county wanld in all
likelihood have been eiteer Mexican
state or British province, and the
county seat bill could not have been
passed. 1t must be admitted that not
one Of the signers could have had pre-
science enough to know that one of
the results of his patriotic action
would be the establishment of the
county of Esmeralda county in Haw.

alton. While admitting that the peo-
pie of Aurora are not to be blamed
for Directing to the removal, it is to
be hoped they will not premit their
chagrin at the remote consequences of
the declaration, to prevent proper
observance of the day, and cordial
invitation should be extended to them
to assist, with the assurance that in
our ceremonies will contain no al.
lusions which will recall local jeal.

There was once a time when it was
believed by every body that this count.
ry was desert, absolutely and simply,
and that nothing useful or ornamental
could ever be found here, unless it
might be the horned toad which the
Chinese use for rheumatism. 1t was
not supposed that anything good could
come out of the at one time, desolate
and apparently barren region, but the
railroad company laid out town
brought in water and starred park.
Admiral Mckenzie has a garden In
the stocks and what was thought to be
impossible, has been discovered to be
not only possible but easy. What has
been wrongly called desert supplies
not only necessares, but even luxuries
to those who have the will to seek.
The soil with proper irrigation, is
capable of almost any agricultural
feat, aud nature seems to have exerted
herself to furnish everything desired
by man, even going so far as to pre-
pare for his amusement. 1t is hatura.
for men and women to play croquet,
and this has been provided for in the
alkali flats which are the finest croquet
grounds in the world. Smooth, level
and extensive, this with other ad.
,antages is found in the place which
was at one time supposed to be for
hidden to man.

An Anniversary Picnic to Commence
rate the Purchase of the Mt. Cory.

An Anniversary Picnic to Commence
rate the Purchase of the Mt. Cory.
Perhaps, to this section, the most
important event was the purchase of
the Mount Cory mine by its present
owners. The transfer was made on
the 14th of June, 1892, and during the
year which has interviewed the perma-
nent prosperity of this. part of the
country has been assured by the opera
tionsof the Company. No anniversary
is more deserving of commemoration
than this one, and the people of Haw-
thorne and Coryville have concluded
that a picnic would bean Appropriate
celebration. There are beautiful
grounds and magnificent scenery at
Coryville, and Superintendent McKen-
zie, who is delighted with the idea,
will do all in his power to assist the
pleasure-seekers in their search. A
great many visitors from the Comstock.
and from Carson may be expected,
and probably some from San Francisco.
None need be deferred through fear'of
lack Of accommodation as there is
good accommodation for all, and such
as will suit the most fastidious. w. T.
Neel is still there, and can show the
guests who wish TO remain Il few days
to as fine rooms and seat them ut
table as well furnished as they will
find in the city. As a great many
people interested in the mining out
look of this section will probably
avail themselves of this opportunity
for combining business with pleasure,
the Mount Cory mine will be open to
the free inspection Of this class of
visitors.

Ca Ila hams Brick Yard


Matt Callahan has tie finest brick
yard on the coast, and the best ma.
terial. lie has prospectcd the depths
of an alxali flat about one-half mile
east OF town, and few feet below the
surface discovered bed of material
which is almost unequaled in quality.
1t is when dug out. almost ready to be
moulded into bricks, and burns into a
hard, durable brick, which is not ex-
celled anywhere on the coast. An ex.
detrimental kiln has shown what can
be done, and brick making on AN ex.
tensive scale began on Monday. The
drying yard is certainly the finest in
the United States unless some other
brick maker has been fortunate enough
to get an alkali fat for thar purpose.
A few inches of the loose surfa &c has
been scraped from a portion Of the fiat,
making yard as level, smooth and
hard us Billiard table. In u short
time Mr.. Callahan will have water
pipes laid to his place, and then will
have the most convenient brick fac.
tory in the country. All the material
and that Of the best is right at hand.

Charley Kimhall has another import;
ant enterprise in contemplation in
which he has engaged the interest of an
Eastern tourist. He explained to the
gentleman, lately from the Atlantic,
that there were great possibilities in
our soil, and told him of several analy.
ses which had been made which demon
strated to certainty, that with irriga
ton and attention to few unimportant
details, grass could be raised which
would cause COWS that cat it to give
condensed milk. A few feet below the
surface the sand contains Il great deal
of sugar, not enough to make it yalua.
BILE as ordinary grocer's sugar, but
sufficient to sweeten alfalfa which
sends Its roots deep into the ground.
The upper layer has lost It's sugar
through the action of. rain and melt
ing snow, but as it only sunk a Short
distance, irrigation would soon bring
it to the surface again. In the pros
pectus given to his partner, Mr.. Kim.
ball did not claim that the milk would
be furnished by the COWS, canned and
ready for shipment, as even if some
system of enriehing the ground could
be discovered by which the cans would
be produced, it would be altogether
too much of trial TO the cows. With
out the cans, a large profit could be
realized, and in addition, the pro
jector held out the possibility that
when the population became larger a
neat little business could be done in
the ice cream trade, as it would be
only necessary to pillow some davoring
matter into few acres, select COWS
that give particularly rich milk, give
them ice water to drink, and ice cream
free from suspicion of adulteration
could be supplied at almost nominal
rates with fair margin of profit Mr..
Kimball's partner is much pleased
with the proposition, and will very
likely organize a company to carry on
the business, unless some of those who
are always trying TO divert capital
from Nevada should interfere with
discouraging doabts, and, rs is so often
done, deny the feasibility of the under
taking, simply because it is new.
