WESTERN MINING.
The Worship Of MagniAcent
Distance.

Il ID48G8mC6s
| Last Sunday the editor Of the
APPEAL was visiting Franktown and
met q man who Was packing up his
traps to go to Warrington Terri
tory. He was an old. grizzly
miner and it was easy enough to
zee that he had not struck much
pay rock for . long time.
"Why do you go to Washington
Territory"
because it's going 10 be the
finest mining country in the world
This country's played cut for min
ing"
He went out with his packing
and his eyes cleaned with the an
! ticipation of the rich diggings he
would encounter in Washington
Territory.
Returning towards Carson, We
met msu with pack mule trudg-
ing along the road. He was also a
mining man, and his face, like the
others, was full of hope and deter
mination. He stopped us and
wanted to know if the sheet of
water before him was Washoe Lake.
We told him it was, and asked him
where he was from.
"Washington Territory, " he
said. Its no place for a miner,
and I heard of some rich prospects
on the shores of Washoe Lake; SO
I've come down to tackle it
We gave him directions for find
ing the man we had just left and
wondered as to what kind of time
they would have.
Yesterday morning these two
men passed through Carson, and
told us how they had decided that
both Washington Territory and
Nevada were failures. and they
we're bound for Ceur d'Alene.
They were certain of striking it
there, anyhow. They were enthu-
siastic over the country. and both
were as blithe and happy as May
morning, and as full of gayety and
jest as boys of sixteen, altongh nei-
Their of the two were under fifty.
So they passed out of sight singing
and whistling and after reaching
the edge of the city put their
horses into q gallop. Each had
cast aside all his plans and pur-
poses 1pon the word of the other,
and they were strangers and both
were just as satisfied to make new
plans and act upon them at q mo.
ment's notice. They will not reach
the diggings they started for; some
body will meet them on the road
and hint that Colorado is q good
place and they will turn their
horses heads to the right or left, as
the spirit moves them. Coming
up from Franktown they passed
scores of green fields, through
which the flashing waters of the
mountains crept and sang. and saw
hundreds of we'll conditioned
stock, grazing upon rich meadows,
but the thought never entered their
heads that they were passing by
more real wealth than they
would ever see in Arizona and Col
| orado. These men are the represen-
tatives of a class who are running
down the State because the mines
are not producing much and over
looking the fact that the men who
are clearing away the sagebrush
and rearing cattle and produce, are
! all getting rich. Beat your picks
into shovels AMI your drills
into pruning hooks, is the best
advice which can be given to Ne
vadans, aud recollect that all who
make pilgrimages from this State
to other fields, as a rule. are glad to

The Bridge Finished.

The first train crossed the bridge on Wednesday afternoon, and, since then, they have followed each other ln rapid succession. The building of this bridge presents remarkable evidence of the power of money combined with knowl- edge and energy. It took exactly a week to complete it. Much credit is due Seth Green, who has had charge of the con- struction, and the employees under him, for this work. It is difficult to realize that bridge of this size could be con structed ill so short time, when one considers the many difficulties embraced in the powerful current of the Colorado river, the shifting bottom, the opposing boulders and the Hanger and difficulty in managing pontoons in stream full of rapids and whirl-pools. The bridge is 8 temporary one to enable the crossing of trains until d permanent structure can be erected. The SENTINEL tenders con- gratulations to Mir Green and employees for having exceeded their promises as to time required in the performance of their work. They have performed an astonish- ing feat.

Morgan R. Wise, an aspirant for Con- gross before the Democratic convention, talks well of the political situation, and his ideas of the necessities of Arizona cannot be surpassed. He is evidently full of energy and, if nominated, will lose nothing through want of work. Having represented a congressional district of Pennsylvania, in the national legislature, his political acquaintanship would be o much service. Although the SENTINEL takes but little interest in the democratic situation we are constrained to state that the democrats might do worse thar nominate Mir. Wise.
