Ii has often been asked, why we i'm
port hams and bacon from 600 to 1900
miles from places where meats are higher
than here, TO this country where meats
are comparatively cheaper than anything
else: Through the efforts of j. Poujade,
whose establishment may properly be
called the leading grocery house OF south
eastern Nevada, considerable shipment
Of home-cured bacon of the very first
quality has been placed on the market
here, and is meeting with a ready sale
There is no reason why we should not,
in Lincoln county, raise and cure all our
own meats. Pouiade is proving that our
people can appreciate good thing by
placing the hone.cured meat alongside of
the imported article, the result being the
choice of the home-cured by nine out of
ten of the most fastidious persons. He
guarantees every piece sweet, sound, and
as fresh as possible. He has also an
ample stock of California hams and bacon
well sailed and cured to meet the re-
quirements OF the summer months; so
that our people need have no fear OF a
meat famine for little while at least
The above brings to mind the fact that
four years ago to-day the gentleman
above named lnaugurated in Phoebe, the
cast-iron or absolute cash system of doing
business. 1t was then called foolish
system, bound to end in failure. 1t was
very simple principle that he enunci-
ated, the exchanging OF value for
value" nothing more-nothing less; but
il brought storm about his head. Some
said he would fail in six months; some
allowed him a year to find the error of
his ways. Some said it was hard on the
poor, others that it was an injury to
good men, Some said he was crazy,
others only gave him credit for being a
fool. Results tell. He has not, by any
means, failed. 1t was good for the poor;
because it reduced the price of goods all
over town; and the poor, who had to
buy for cash all the time, were benefited.
1t was a benefit to every good man be-
cause it relieved him of the payment OF
the debts of bad men, and instead of
being considered fool he is now the
most popular business man i'll this section
OF the State; because the people know
that he devotes his entire business ability
and capital to the better, easier and
cheaper distribution among consumers of
pure aud wholesome food products. He
appears to believe that no nobler work is
open TO him; and that he may always be
encouraged in the future as he has been
in the past four years is orr most earnest
wish
Ell DORADO. = Again the Colorado
s.,
; tation, aud supplies, are COTTON to the
Canyon, FL Dorado will again become
qaite lively little place. Lund & Co.,
the principle business firm of Southern
Utah, are contemplating opening store
at that place, and they are now endeav-
oring to make arrangements for leasing
the Lincoln Company's mill, but il they
are not successful they will then, along
with the owners of the Black Jack mine,
erect mill This mine contains large
quantities of low-grade ore, that aver
ages so, but the mills at the Canyon
charge S45 per ton for working ore, then
only work it up to Go per cent, so it
will be seen that so ore at the present
is worthless, but with their own mill the
Black Hackers think they will be able to
make handsome profit from so rock.
The rich rock of the Canyon is shipped
to San Francisco, but the transportation
company will not assume the risk OF car
rying 81 900 rock, so all ore of that grade
and higher has to be sent by express, the
charges for expressage taking a large
share of the profits.

dents of Jackrabhit District came to town

Now that the matrimonial ball has
been started rolling, let our young people

beautiful unite and be happy. Let the
next couple step to the front and our
Justice will tie the double,knot in the
latest fashion.
