White Pine News; Monday evening a
telegram was received here stating that
George E. Stockle passed a satisfactory ex-
animation at West Point and was admitted
a cadet in that institution. This was q
source of great JOY to all the young mans
friends here, especially to those who feared
the ordeal Of West Point red tape. To
this scribe, however, ii was nothing more
than a confirmation Of what we knew the
result would be. The prize was fairly won
at Winpemucca, and knowing the merits
Of the boy, az we did, we had no doubt OF
the final result. Tuesday "Old Glory"
was thrown TO the breeze on every Flagstaff
in town in honor Of Georges victory, and
everybody congratulated the young mans
father on the success Of his son on his
second victory before the National Board.
Nothing we could say In praise OF Master
George could so forcibly present the merits
OF Nevada's young cadet at West Point, as
the following dispatch received by US We'd
nesday night:
WAsHINRToN, June "a, 1884.
W. L. DAVIS. Cherry Greek: Gen. Mer-
rift, head Of West Point Military Academy,
telegraphs me that young Stockle passed q
splendid examination in every branch, and
was admitted to West Point.

White Pine Refer, June %.
The Self-cocker mine has taken q very
decided pitch toward the perpendicular,
and the grade of ore 10 improving. The
vein is now about 10 feet wide.
James Hixson's mine, the Breechloader,
located on top Of the mountain east OF
town, is very promising at present. The
ore that is coming out goes high up in the
pictures.
We went through the Monitor mine Sun
day with Robert Briggs, and are free to
admit that we were more than ~astonished
at the amount Of work that has been done,
the cost OF which would alone be q bonanza.
In the Monitor they follow the ore and
take no chances like many do, of
going after it with expensive tunnels
and shafts as though they knew exactly
where to put their hands on the
ore. They have two shafts, it ia true, but
they were not sunk until it was ascertain
ed where the ore was. A number of large
bodies of ore would not have been in this
mine had the Comstock style Of mining
been followed. A tunnel would have run
under many bodies and a shaft would have
missed them if they had gone ii blind and
simply thought they knew where they ex-
listed. Ore is now coming put from some
eight or ten places, much of which goes as
high as 5000. A large body of peculiar
looking black ore, the extent Of which can
only be guessed at, assays $275 to the ton.

With that magnetic man of Maine,
Who yet shall reign supreme,
Our horns shall sound q louder strain,
We'll make the eagle scream;
Well make the eagle scream, my boys,
As he himself has said;
And when W. rule In Washington
Well paint the White House red.
30 well we mean to play our part,
And pull 10 many strings.
That from his clifi that bird shall start,
And spread his laundering wings;
And spread his laundering wings, ny boys,
The wings not lately spread;
For we will whoop the nations up,
And paint the White House red.
On England we will cast . spell
Whose force shall never fail;
Well welt the British lion well,
And twist that lions tail;
And twist that lions tail. my boys,
And punch his ragged head;
And such as he will stare to see
The White House painted red.
Not built upon the Arthur plan

A lively and magnetic man,
And full Of blood and brain;
And full of blood and brain, my boys;
His brain with passion fed;
And blood and b. rain shall fire the land,
Aud paint the White House red.
The dynasties across the seas
May shiver and may shake,
And all that weaken in the knees
May well prepare to quake;
May well prepare to quake, my boys,
Till all their spunk has fed;
For we will whoop the people up,
And paint the White House red.

Mr.. Releh.

We have secured the valuable services Of
Mr.. @. A. Belch, who will act as our min
ing reporter. Mr.. Belch is peculiarly adapt
ed for this branch Of our paper, having had
a large and varied mining and journalistic
experience. We would ask for him the
courtesy which has ever been shown our-
selves, from the miners and business men
of the camp.-Ceur d'Alene Eagle.
We take it that Mr.. Belch will prove very
servicsble in his new function, if his name
signifies anything. If recent reports from
the much advertised gold fields are not un-
true. the Eagle will require more than one
additional Belcher to keep up its fame.

They lave not yet agreed whether it is a
black eagle or a bald eagle or a rock eagle.

THE AMERICAN DESERT"
The Wonderful Story Told by the Ex-
hibts of the Far West at New
[speciai Telegram . the Globe. l

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 25.-If there exists
an American who does not believe that this
is big country, he should come TO the New
Orleans exposition and take
survey of the exhibits Of the
several states and territories. and especially
of those which lie between the Mississippi
river and the Pacific ocean. They tell
most interesting and most marvellous story.
They tell Of the wonderful and varied re-
sources of vast section Of country which
but few years ago was pictured on the
maps as the ''great American desert" They
tell Of land which only yesterday, as IT
were, was given over to dcsolation
and solitude, but which is now the
home of an active, restless, enterprising,
progressive population, swelling with pride
in the consciousness Of great triumphs
achieved over the antagonistic forces of ma
ture, and pressing forward with hope and
confidence TO grander and more enduring
triumphs iu the future. The story of the
new south is eclipsed in interest by the new
west as told by the dumb but eloquent Wit
ness Of its greatness in the vast government
building at the exposition grounds.
There is little that is new, or novel or
striking In the collection Of exhibits Of the
eastern, the middle and the older western
states. Their products and manufactures
are familiar TO everybody, but everybody
doesn't known fact, very few people have
the faintest coneeption-of the wealth and
variety OF the material re-
sources of the new west, and
the extraordinary progress which has been
made in developing and utilizing them.
Realizing this fact the big Drained, broad
guaged, stout hearted men who have wiped
the great American desert of our maps and
rendered it as mythical to the present genek
alton as the strange countries Of which Marko
Polo once told, wondering world, have
brought to New Orleans solid proofs Of its
disappearance aud substantial evidence OF
the birth of great empire away toward the
setting sun. There is nothing conventional
about the collective exhibits made by the
territories and the new states Of the far west.
There is something breezy, audacious, re-
freshing about the displays. They more than
suggest, they actually express, the free, Wig
orous, untrammeled life Of bold and hardy
people, who, abandoning the beaten paths Of
civilization, have blazed the way through
vast desert and unlock the golden secrets
which nature has kept concealed within her
bosom for unnumbered centuries.

A SERIOUS BLAZE.
The Academy of Music BIeck, Min
neapolis, Almost Entirely
Destroyed.
The Fire Catches in the Upper Story and
Burns Downward-Losses Generally
Covered by Insurance.

At about four O'Clock yesterday afternoon
anre broke out In the roof of the Academy
Of Music block at the corner of Washington
and Hennepin avenues, Minneapolis. It
Eas probably the most stubborn cor fagration
which has visited this city for
many months. The department
entire responded with its wonted
alacrity to the call from box l2, and water
was Immediately turned on, but, owing TO
some inexplainable trouble, the streams
thrown were at first weak and inefficient
This trouble, however, was soon rembdied, and
the building was completely flooded, but
without avail. The FIRE ragged until
late in the evening, and at
the present writing steamer is still throw
ing water. The building is fine five story
structure, recently remodled from a theater
to business Offices, and is owned by Herrick
Bros. e. Co. The fire, beginning
from the roof, although burning
with intense heat and apparent rapidity,
made but slow headway toward the ground
floor, and the fire itself was practically con-
fined to the three upper stories, Though the
entire building and contents are badly dam
aged All above the ground floor was occu-
pied as business offices by various
parties, full list of whom and losses and
insurance could not be obtained last night,
owing to the fact that most of the tenants
we're absent spending Christmas, and could
not be found.
The building was valued at 500, 200, upon
which there was an insurance of SEQ, 900,
which covers the entire loss, with something
10 spare.
The major portion of the ground floor and
The basement was occupied by L. H. Steele
as clothing and merchant tailoring estab-
iishmcnt. Mr.. Steele states he had about
100000 worth Of goods in stock,
but the larger portion was re-
moved and his loss is fully
covered by insurance. All the floors above
were occupied by lawyers, real estate men,
ETC., but no estimate can be placed upon
their respective losses until the men them
selves can be reached.
