The First Clean-Up.

The first cleanup of the Cat Creek
mill justified the expectations of the
owners as to the result. Although, as
was stated last week, the run was
made under difficult circumstances,
the result was SO profitable that there
is now no longer question as to the
value of the lodges in Wild Cat Canon
and on Cat Creek. Forty-one tons
were crushed and the yield is little
over. eleven hundred dollars. This
rock came from Kennedy's and Nor.
tons claims, and was scarcely fair
sample, as considerable amount was
not very carefully assorted. These
claims and many others in the same
canon have great quantities of rock,
rich in free gold, and the district will
probably in a short time become one
of the most active in the State, as since
the proof given by the little five-stamp
mill, all the capital needed can be
readily procured. The Cat Creek mill
will resume operations as soon as the
machinery can lbe put in better order

Assisted by Telegraph.

On Friday night, when news of the
railroad accident arrived, volunteers
were called for to go to the wreck and
assist. A crowd of the sports went
out on the extra, but stopped at Luning
for stimulants, and, missing the tram,
lent what aid they could by telegraph
They returned on Sunday, fatigued
but in good spirits.

The State Fair.
lIlents.

There should be State Fair held
this year, and as every other town in
the State has either had IL or wanted
it, ii is our turn now. Mason Valley
has a Fair Association and two very
good exhibitions have been given at
Pizen Switch. This year the Valley
people could join hands with the State
Association and hold 5he Fair at
Hawthorne, There is plenty of room
and beautiful scenery and access from
all points in the State is fpsy. There
are many reasons why this would be
the best place for the Fair. Visitors
can, while here, go into the surround
ing mining camps and see the richest
portion of Nevada; they can go sail.
ing in the lake and will also be able
to take look at our new county build.
ing, which will be one of the best in
the mountains. Much good might
eventually result to the State from
having the Fair here, as everyone
would see the splendid natural advan-
tages we possess and the eligible stu
ations we have for locating the Insane
Asylum, State Prison, Mint, Orphans
Home, Mint, State Capitol and other
public buildings which are now
crowded into Carson and Reno. See.
ing the ample room aud the rapid
growth of the country, those who
come would go home and tell their
neighbors of the Canaan, and when
the next Legislature meets the men,
bers would be prepared to acknowledge
the claims of Hawthorne without argu.
ment. This is the first time Haw.
thorne has asked for the Fair, and we
surely should have as good chance
as any other place. The citizens of
Aurora would also be glad to see the
Fair at Hawthorne, as they could then
visit the races while attending Court.
