A Country Builder.

A railroad is often the principal pro.
moter of the industries OF country,
but sometimes mining company can
lay as much claim to the title of
" Father Of its Country" While every.
body is disposed TO give The Carson
& Colorado Railroad Company full
creGit Tor beginning the work of
developing This section, credit which
1t ~duid be hard to over pay, it should
rot be forgotten that the seeds of
commerce would have been sown on
comparatively barren ground in the
immediate neighhorhood of Haw.
thorne bad not the Mount Cory Com.
pany, with A G. Mckenzie at Its
head, come in with faith and capital
and developed u mine which assured
the value of the district and gave en-.
couragement to others to look for
other valuable properties. Mutually
assisting each other, the railroad and
mining company have hy their joint
work made this country, once regarded
rs nearly a barren desert, about the
most prosperou section in the State,
and it is but fir to the men whose
energy and capital have done so much
to build Il country. A mining com,
rany like the Mount Cory which risks
its capital in development work is well
entitled to the pro'ils which may be
derived and although helping its own
stockholders is at the same time
assisting others and should be remem-
bered gratefully by the residents of
the country it helped to build.

BoraH.

The largest supply of borax In the
world is in this county, partly on the
line of the G. & c. railroad and partly
in Fish Lake Valley and Columbus
Basin. From some of the marshes the
cotton balls are shipped to Europe to
be worked. At most however the
lorax is manufactured ON the ground.
There are three large works near
Columbus which when in operation
can turn out about six tons daily. In
addition to these there are five smaller
establishments, that together can make
two tons daily, The large mills are
closed ut present as they have a great
quantity on hand, but the small places
are steadily ut work. From Rhodes
marsh the raw ma erial is nearly all
shipped to Liverpool. and Gray s

OF Interest to LEGAL Astronomers.

Professor Proctor, the eminent
English astronomer, has gone deeply
into the subject of draw-poker. He
has written an article telling when to
hlutf and when to play your hand. He
also gives some calculations as TO the
number of hands of each kind, the re-
suit of which will interest several
Hawthorne astronomers who also take
an interest in poker, Here are some
of his figures:
Let us consider briefly what are
the chances for each different. kind of
hand ut poker. First the total numb Der

1t is very easy to determine the gum-

sequences which are possible. Thus,
begin with the flush sequences. We
can haye in each suit, ace, 9, 3, 1, 8: Q,
3, 4, 8, &; 4, 5, 9, 7, and So on up to 10,

are ten flush sequences in each suit,
forty flush sequences in all. The mum

afterward learned, two men were en-.

made themselves drunk on liquor
which they found. They had scattered
the flour and other provisions, and
destroyed even the stove. Suspicion

The surface aspect OF Nevada is gen

We have heard Of the b%arrenness Of certain
parts Of Arizona and New Mexico. and we
used to read of the arid Sahara in our
geography books, but IL those f~orbidding
districts have q worse look than that given
to the landscape In this State by the
stunted grayish-brown sagebrush then we
hope our knowledge Of their superficial
appearance will ever continue as vague
and % scanty as 1t is at present. We,
however, do the country in which we are
supposed to be camping" (but in which
many Of rs nevertheless will die) an injus-
tice TO speak Of il AZ being without orna-
ment and real beauty Of vegetation. There
are fertile spots not far even from Eureka
where the thirsty, but not barren, soil
under the magic. fructifying influence OF
water would produce shrubs, grasses and
flowers In great variety. Even on the
sorts OF wild flowers, some OF them OF
delicate fragrance and exquisite form and
coloring, can be gathered without much
difaculty in q half. hours ramble. But in
some Of the canyons that were filed with
snow during the Winter or now have
small streams trickling through them the
fora il luxuriant, varied and profuse.
The gulch that winds up from the Hum.
boldt River at Gerald, . mile and q hall
towards the Stafford mines, presents al
most the appearance OF q flower garden.
The air Is loaded with the perfume Of as
many as 30 different sorts of wild flowers
OF delicious odor and OF the most lovely
form and blending Of color. A stroll up
this canyon Is something like an excursion
among the hills in California, and Is Ger.
tainly quite a. much enjoyed by oont5sst
Of Eureka.
