THE COLORADO RIVER.

Hitherto uudeservedly neglected,
the Colorado River is now coming
into prominence as geographical
feature of our State. Its position on
the iextreme southeast corner of the
State and the distance of that section
from the more populous portions, has
caused its actual Importance Us a
possible high way to be overlooked.
Careless observers of the State maps
have also failed to notice the extent
Of our boundary which ia in the
channel OF this stream, and out few
of those who know that Nevada has
210 miles of the Colorado, on her
boundary line, are aware that it is =
considerable stream, nayigable at
certain seasons by 200-ton vessels.
The appropriation called for by the
joint resolution of Mr.. Howell of
Lincoln codnty, will remove the slight
distractions which prevent navigation
during the dry season, and the south
eastern section of the State would
have cheap water transportation for
agricultural and mining products,
which are now valueless, owing to the
cost of carriage being greater than
the market proceeds. Along the
river are many immense lodges of low
grade ore which could be proftably
worked if water transportation could
be had tor the base bullion produced
and these mines with the industrial
and agricultural interests which
would arise from the Improvements
contemplated, would change what is
now section suffering under great
business depression, into one enjoying
fair and permanent era of prosper
ity. Nor would our own State alone
be benefited; on the Arizona side
there are valuable gold mines which
cannot be proftably worked on &C
count of the exorbitant charges for
freight, also copper mines, which
would yield immense returns if their
products could be taken to market.

-HERR MosT, the rabid social
list who has been boring the Eastern
people with his foolhardy ideas of
justice had better remain where he is
for should he come to this ceast he
would hardly escape with sentence
to the penitentiary for exciting the
ignorant classes to plumber banks,
and kill people, but would more
likely be treated to coat Of tar and
feathers, which would be as near what
he deserves as anything except
hanging.

tins wonderful reports which
come from all parts of our mining
territory, of the present and prospec-
tive greatness of mining as an indus
try, measured by the true standard OF
bullion output, present a grand pic
turs of the magnitude and substantial
permanency of this most valuable
field of enterprise.
The results of last year, as large as
they are in the aggregate, come really
from the Development work necess
AIRY to place miners in condition to
produce, for the number of mines in
this country in shape for regular pro-
duction is small indeed, so small as
to appear insignificant in comparison
with whole number upon which work
10 being prosecuted.
As the importance of this great in
dustry is comprehended better men
will come to the front and better
minds will grapple with the problem
In all its details, and the result of the
future will be to justify the full pro-
misc of the present.

Tine following from the Carson
Appeal is sound advice. "Let the
newspapers keep posted up list
containing the name of every man
who votes against the interest of Ne.
vada printers by having the Nevada
laws and Supreme Court Reports
printed in San Francisco. There are
nearly 1 900 printers in this State, and
such a bill is blow at the typograh
ical profession. Every editor should
keep in his sanctum list of the men
who vote against the printing indus-
try of Nevada in favor Of California
iobbers, and when these lnen come up
for reelection they can go to Califor
MIA for votes"

-THE question now agitating
the large cities of the East is whether
telegraph wires should be placed
above ground, or run under the
ground on the same principle as gas
and water mains. Several large fires
have caused this question to be one
of importance, and it should be care
fully studied before making any
change. The telegraph companies,
of course, will not be in favor Of
having an underground system of
wires, for it would put them to too
great an expense to make the change.
1t will be u hard problem to solve,
for there are nearly as many instances
where telegraph wires have been the
means of saving life as there have
been cases where they have proved
q hindrance to firemen, and caused
death. 1t would doubtless be better
however to have them underground.
for if hotel is properly built, there
will be no necessity'of having to use
them for fire. escapes. The Western
Union Company, have concluded to
make this change with all wires in
New York City inside of the limits.

years figures by fifty per cent. This
is principally due to the exceedingly
large loss Of calves during the hard
winter three years ago. Nearly all
the fall branding and a considerable
number of the spring branding per-
ished that winter. The usual age of
marketing beeves has been at four
years old, but the good prices last year
induced most stock growers to sell
their three year olds. The weld was.
however, light, owing TO the blackler
which played such havoc among the
calves the year previous to the hard
winter. Next year, however, the
harvest will be good, and confined
largely to four year olds, as extensive
growers have learned that they com |,
init an error in marketing their steers
before they reach that age, and there
is great outcome in three year olds;
besides. at the age of Jour they are
better fitted for market.
