Lottery Advertisements.

There was report afoat a few
days ago that Elbridge Mitchell
and two other young men had had
the good fortune to draw $500
apiece from the Louisiana lottery
but it was unfounded. How the
story originated We know not
Placer Argus.
1t is easy enough to know how
such stories originate The lottery
folks set them afoat for the pur-
pose of advertising the New Or
leans scheme, which is swindling
thousands of people of this State.
Every now and then we read in
the San Francisco papers, about
some fisherman, some broken down
actor Or some cigar stand man win
ming fortune. The stories are
told in very entertaining ways and
purport to be news items, but the
stories are mere advertisements
and are paid for. The law forbids
the advertisement of lottery
schemes, but some Of the newspa-
pers do not regard the law in the
least except as a matter Of senti-
ment on which to write editorials.
The advertising columns Of many
of our esteemed contemporaries
violate the law which the editorial
columns of the same paper say is
wrong. 1t is money that does the
thing money can do most any
thing.

A Famous kissing Case.

This was to decide whether q
girl who had married in fun was
really the wife o. the youth with
whom she had stood up to perform
the mock marriage. Several hun.
dred pages Of testimony were
taken, and the Justice spent more
in having it copied than he re-
ceived for his fees. The whole
thing, which began in a joke,
proved at last very serious bust
ness. It is very serious business,

goods for his wife and gets over
charged. To get the right goods

Won Sei.lMidt's Scheme.

| The Truckee Republican says
Won Schmidt's project of convey
ing the surplus water of Lake Ia
hoe to San Francisco and inferno
date points, will one day be pu,
into execution. 1t is generally re
garded as visionary scheme, but
study of its details proves that il
is eminently practical. The cost
would be very great. but, in these
days. when millions of capital are
lying idle in vaults, the cost of an
enterprise is of no consequence.
Will it pay is the all important
question. The demand for water
in Sacramento, Stockton and San
Francisco, is something that can
be figured with a certainty. The
demands of other towns and cities
along the route, can readily be esti
mated. San Jose can be included
in the circuit, and branch pipes
could convey the water throughout
all the thickly populated centers of
California. Irrigation would re-
quire very large supply in many
places in the Sacramento and San
Joaquin Valley. Given a quantity
Of pure mountain water equal to
the demands Of the region which
could be supplied, and the profits
of the enterprise would be simply
enormous. The water would be
used wherever it could be conveyed.
Competition would be impossible,
because of the acknowledged super
iority Of the Lake Tahoe water.
There is no question about the
supply being sufficient. 1t is
simply unlimited, and that too,
without interfering with the flow
of the Truckee river, or with any
Of the rights of the State of Ne
vada. The Won Schmidt project
is slumbering, but sooner or later
it will waken and be carried for
ward to completion. None Of their
rights are suffered to lapse. The
improvements which were made
are kept in thorough repair, and
the titles to the lands which will
be affected, are carefully pre-
served. CALIFORNIA; population is
growing rapidly, and in few years
! supply of pure, delicious noun
tain water will be imperitively de-
by the larger towns. Won
Schmidt's scheme is the only one
hat is feasible, and will hold out
certain inducements to CAPITAL.

| Time is proving that no more
active or intelligent gentlemen
could have been chosen to repre-
sent the State at the New Orleans
or London Expositions than Com
missioner Pavenor. The Times
Review pays him this mcrited com
piment
Hon. W. HI. Havenor arrived by
private conveyance last evening
and will remain here for couple
| of days. This is the gentleman
who SO efficiently represented Ne
yada at the New Orlens Exposition
and his success there has caused
his appointment as Commissioner
for this State at the Worlds Fair
which opens at London on the first
Of neqt May He is making a tour
Of the State for the purpose of col
lecting specimens and curiosities
for exhibition upon that occasion,
and if his efforts are seconded as
they should be by the people of
the State he will certainly succeed
in accommodating collection which
will prove q wonderful attraction
even among such a large and varied
display as will be shown in London.
Nevada is much indebted to the
Hon. VIM. Havenor for what he
did for the State at the New Or.
leans Exhibition. He had charge
Of Nevada's products and mineral
exhibits, aud represented us in
general way. His intelligence, and
knowledge of the State, in connec-
ton with his knowledge of mluer-
ology, fitted him for the position
as but few men are fitted. Now, |
he is taking tour Of observation,
as well as for the collection of pro-
ducts aud mineral specimens, for
the purpose Of exhibiting them at
New Orleans during the Fall and |
Winter, then taking them to Lon
don, England. The work of Mr..
Havenor is of no little Importance
to the citizens of Nevada, and |
everyone should lend him a help
ing hand. This State has been
more remiss in bringing her re-
sources before the world than any
other in the Union. By aiding Mr..
Havenor in his work and contrib
ating to his exhibits, because he
goes unaided by the State in plac-
ing Nevada properly before the
capitalists, not only Of the East
md South, but before all Europe
n way that may make up for the
legitimate showing that could be
made, were it not for the false
economy practiced by not provid-
ng ways and means to show up our
esources by the reports of what is
,eing done, and an intelligent show
ng Of our mineral wealth. We
,ave practiced economy by holding
'ur light under bushel and thus
ct Colorado, Arizona and our other
lister States and Territories leave

hould be to the front. We trust
hat Mr.. Havenor will receive most
LIBERAL contributions from all
ources and thus be enabled to
lake most creditable exhibit for

A Dangerous Feat

BUFFALO, Oct. 2.-Yesterday at

field, Ohio, succeeded in crossing
the gorge on a tight-rope. The
rope was stretched from bank to
bank at height of 200 feet, about
half way between the bridge and
the upper Portage falls. When
near the center Of the river the
performer was obliged to stop for
several seconds. Recovering him.
self, be continued until about 100
feet from the west bank, when he
backed up as far as the center Of
the river again and performed sew
eral feats. Dropping his balancing
pole, he let himself down to two
swinging rings which were sus-
pended about ten feet below the
rope and just above the dam at the
edge of the river. Here he went
through several gymnastic feats, at
last sliding down to the dam on
rope. When ne reached a point
about thirty-fve feet from the bed
of the stream he signaled to the
man holding the rope to give him a
little slack in order to allow him to
turn over and descend head fore
most. misunderstanding the re-
quest, the man let 60 of the rope,
allowing the Professor to swing
oyer the stream. The latter, in or
der to save himself, slid down the
rope to about fifteen feet from the
river, and as he swung toward the
dam made leap for it. He landed
safely, but suffered slight sprain
in his right ankle, his hands also
being badly cut from the rope.
