Mining Matters In Lincoln .andfvyhits
Pine.


"imis,' q correspondent Of the Eureka
Sentinel writing from Taylor, gives the fol-
lowing mining news:
What picture Lincoln county presens to a
trayelerl have long been resident of that
once hourishing and lively section. and now to
see the towns and villages that In forme or days
teemed with life. and are now barely shadow
OF themselves, Is sufficient to wish one In some
other part of the State than Lincoln.
Phoebe, which was in early days known as
the livelest and most renegade town on the
Coast, is almost deserted, and but few hum
ored inhabitants are left out Of the many thou
sands that were In those times lured there for
the lust and greed Of the silver dollar. Her
immense hosting works are dismantled, mi
nave been torn down and moved away to other
places, her once producing mines are aband-
oned' and wreck and ruin are left to mark the
time OF years the trail Of the fell DESTROYER.
Ihere Is some talk of the Raymond and Ely
and the Meadow Valley starting up again, but
IL Is only talk, for nothing lse has been thrown
In sight with the exception of the mining
ground being surveyed for patents.
At Bullionyi!le the large Stetefeldt furnace
OF the Bnlllonville Company will be ready to
start up again on the immense pile of tailings
on Land in the course of two weeks, 1t IL to
be hoped this company will make success,
az good deal of solid money has been IN vested
and returns will soon be In order. Oyer D..
OOO,OOO are in the tailings. and 1t is expected
that $lOOO.O0O at least will be extracted over
SiOO'OOO has been expended on the plant, which
consists of one l20-ton Stetefeldt fnrn ace. said
to be the largest on the Coast, and the leach
ing works are of the same capacity.
At Pennsylvania 4 shipment of $4,000 has
been sent up, and hopes are expressed that
the proposition in that quarter may turn out
to be something big. Nothing now is doing
at Pahrknagat and Hike, though parties inter-
ested In the II ines In that section are moving
and will In time start up, as the different
mines are said to give promise of big re-
cults.
The mills are shut down In Eldorado Canyon,
As the rock Is found to be much lower grade
than formerly, aud the expense OF mining and
handling heavy. The heavy discount on silver
now prevailing makes mining risky business
and especially 50 when old time prices are In
vogue.
White Pine county is decidedly promis ing,
as far AS Taylor Is concerned, and the bullion
output OF this year, from appearances, will be
bigger than any year heretofore But as there
is lively newspaper issued here every week.
1t Is unnecessary for me to say much about a
camp that know very little about al present.
More auon.

Death OF an Estimabl. Lady.

1t is with sincere sorrow that we
announce the death of Mrs. Ragsdale.
OF Robinson, which occurred at two
O'Clock last Tuesday. The old Indy
was pioneer of White Pine county,
and had resided at Robinson since
1879. She was the mother of our
County Recorder, A. d. Campton. but
her husband, Mr.. Ragsdale, who is
blind. will more than all else miss
his helpmate. Her two little grand
children. aged and years, whom
she raised from childhood, are left
without mothers care--a good and
affectionate son is left to mourn a
fond mother-and a host of friends
and acquaintance all over the county.
TO regret the demise of an hospitable
and entertaining hostess.
Her funeral took place at Ward
Thursday, and was the largest we
have ever seen in this county, thirty
carriages being in the procession.
Robinson, Steptoe Valley, Taylor and
Ward all went to pay the last tribute
of love and respect tn the old lady.
Her remains were laid to rest by the
side Of those she loved and had gone
before, amid the sweet, sad requim,
tears and sobs of those she left be-
hind. Quinsy of an aggravated form
was the immediate cause of death.
The News tenders its heartfelt SYM
pathy tn the husband. son and little
ones in their great bereavement. If
kind aud goods deeds on earth are
passport in the world beyond, Mrs
Ragsdale has only changed mortality
for Immortality.

Sale Of Mining PRO prrfy.

The Eureka Standard of recent date
says: Superintendent Z. n. Robinson.
of the Sweetwater Mining Company
reports that the large body OF ore in
the Stafford mine improves materially
IN richness IA the dip is followed
Developments are being rapidly
pushed. and daily additions are being
made to the pile of ore on the dun y
awaiting shipment. Some five hundred
tons of high grade ore are already on
this dump, aud but for the depth of
the snow the Smoky mill would he in
active operation. As il is Mr.. Robin
son expects to be able To start the mill
inside OF two weeks. The ore body of
the Stafford claim dips into the claim
recently sold by Col. Joe Grandelmeyer
to the company. This was the reason
of the purchase. The amount paid
Mr.. Grandclmeyer was $4,000; SEQ, :
900 III cash, and the balance on time
The Sweetwater Company are now
in possession of all adjoining claims
and there is no danger of a conflict
with neighboring owners. The num-
Der of men that will be put to work
shortly cannot fail to give the town of
Hamilton look of increased activity,
and we trust that occasion will demand
extra additions with new discoveries
and developments so as to enable
Hamilton TO take on vertibie boom
this summer.

$500 Reward offered for Morrison.

At a meeting of the Board of Com
missioners of Storey county, held
last week, Commissioner Folsom Of
fered the following resolution, which
was adopted:
Be it Resolved, That a reward of
$500 be and is hereby offered for the
return of Ro bert Morrison, ex-Chief of
Police and License Collector of the
City of Virginia. Nevada, dead or alive,
said reward to stand good for the balls
ance of the year 1885.
The next Grand Jury of Storey
county should indict its Board of
Commissioners for ''setting price on
Morrison's head" without warrant of
law. Some of the "small fry" officers
of the several counties of this State
imagine the Almighty created them
to rule and placed in the hollow of
their hands powers no king dare as
sumo.

why ores ere shipped to Utah.

The Salt Lake Tribune says the COL
lection of ores of many grades of rich
ness and quality, and mixing them to
produce the proper fiuxes, enables the
smelters at Salt Lake city to pay good
prices for ores. The present charges
for reduction range from So ito $16 per
ton according to character, and the
result is that ore is shipped from Me-
vada, where. if miled, it would be
from $50 to $50 per ton, and the mills
only guarantee 80 per cent of the assay
value, thus bringing the net yield of
500 ore down to $50. There the
smelters deduct only five per cent. for
loss instead of 90, as the mills do,
while the charges are from IS to $40
less. This fact IS bringing hundreds
of tons nf Nevada ore tn that city, and
the amount is all the time increasing,
thus making this State an important
field ts draw supplies of ore from.

The Races

We made flying trip dswn to the
race course few days ago, and were
not little surprised to see the prepare
rion made for the meeting next week
There are seven horses in the stalls
that have been under trimming for the
past two weeks, and several others are
expected in from Eureka. The accom-
modations for visitors to the track have
not been forgotten. A restaurant, under
the management of Il. Reipe, the pop
ular caterer of Taylor, is already open.
and large tent is up from which will
he dispensed fluids and smoking ar
ticles. Everything we saw looks as If
the coming races cannot fail of prov
ing q success.

Copn.. Ll.t. OF pa,.ntsd mins..

Henry n. Copp, the land and mining lawyer
of Washington, has issued book Of $50 pages,
which gives lists of about 10, 600 mines patented
by the United States up to January, 1886.
These lists are arranged by States and Terri
tories, aud hereunder by counties and dis
tricts. II also gives instructions for the re-
storation of lost aud obliterated corners OF TIE
public surveys. This publication is an added
evidence of Mr. Copp's industry. and will,
without doubt, be IN every mine-owner's
library. In 1t we observe the names of many
of our wealthy and enterprising citizens.
Parties contemplating the purchase ola mine
can now readily determine II it has been
patented. The purchase Of unpatented mines
is a risky business. as law suits are frequently
purchased at the same time. The book sells
for Fifty cents. and can be ha through the
newsdealers and Of the publisher.

Founsl on the De.ert.

From r. w. Burlington, of Deep
Creek, who was in town last Sunday,
we learn that the bleached bones and
skeleton of man were found in Spring
Valley last week, about ten miles from
Osceoia. They are believed to lie those
of Otto Sanders, who disappeared from
Taylor last December, and of whom no
trace has since been found.

A Good Place tor Tributera

While over ut Ward the other day
we learned that there is large amount
of low grade ore and some rich spots
in the OLD Paymaster mine that could
be easily taken out, and, as the com

menis to tributers, a steady hard-work-
ing little gang could nc doubt do mucn
better there than working for days

son George, under his fathers skillful
tutelage, and aided by his own good
sense and correct habits will doubtless be
able to assume successfully the burden
when his father casts it off, but the ge-
MUS which created the great fortune 1t
will hardly be alleged. as yet at least,
that George inherits. Nath. Wheeler,
who built up the great industry of the
Wheeler & Wilson sewing machine, has
a son who was content to be placed in
charge of one of the salesroOms in a
Western city. Samuel Colts son is a
quiet, unassumlng, courteous young
man, who lives a life of leisure. and has
developed none of his fathers ability.
John +. Slater, whose father and uncle
developed the cotton manufacturing in
dustry In Rhode Island, abby continued
their work. and when he died, left $1,000
600 as fund for the education of the me-
groes OF the South. His son, however,
seems but i'll suited to business life, and
has decided bent toward the kindlier,
charitable duties of life. He has just
built and presented to the Norwich Free
Academy beautiful memorial hall, and
his tastes and inclinations lead MIN to
works of benevolence.
In the busy world it will be found that
nine tunes out of ten, the men who are
creating vast industries who are push
ing, aggressive, and dev eloping new fields
and setting into activity new energies,
are the men who come ftom humble par.
entage-from the farm and the workshop,
or from behind the counter, though this
last vocation seems to tend TO the paraly-
sis OF all energies. Youth or enterprise
seldom stay there long. The sons of bust
ness men of genius are in rpost cases con-
sentative, cautious, prudent, and not
given to risk or straying uut of the con-
yentionahty of their BUSINESS. Had their
fathers done the same they would not
have been the men of genius ahey were.

LARGE FEES FOR A LAWYER
How the Hoyt Estate was Tolled-
An Able Referee.
From the Albany Lap Journal.

From the albany LaD Journal.
Mr.. Aaron Kahn sends US, with his COM
pliments, printed copy Of ''The Report
and opinion OF the Hon. Ashbel Green,
Referee, in the Matter OF the Claim OF
Aaron Kahn, Esq, for Compensation as
Proctor and Attorney for Mary Ire ne
Hoyt, in re the Hoyt VIII Case" We
presume that he wants some notice taken
OF it. Really, 1t is noteu orthy. 1t is
noteworthy as an evidence az to how fast
a young attorney can get ahead in New
York city in certain circumstances, and
as to what broad and liberal ideas OF
compensation very respectable New York
attorneys entertain. 1t appears from the
opinion that Mr.. Kahn was admitted in
1877, and that the employment in ques.
ton occupied his time from September,
1897, till April, 1885, whether all the time
we do not know, but we viii assume that
10 occupied all his time. Mr.. Green re-
ports that Mr.. Kahn ought to have n re-
tanning fee of $1,000, compensation at the
rate OF 81, 900 month, and solacing fee
OF So, 900 for having been discharged and
subjected to the trouble and expense OF
this reference,ns making SAL 900 in all.
Leaving the solacing fee out of the ques-
ton, Mr.. Green awards Mr.. Kahn $780,
600 for 81 months, or about $l3, 161 a year.
This to a young man who has been ad-
mitted only nine years, and at the time OF
his retainer had been admitted only five
yearsl A compensation much larg or
than that OF the Chief Justice OF the
United States, or any other Judges in this
country except some in New York city
Mr.. Kahn can 60 right up TO the headi No
other young man In this country can CON-
mand retainer of $4,000 and such com.
pensatton after being admitted only five
TO nine years, we are sure. Mr.. Kahn
must be very able young man; he has
had very able referee; aud II any court
IL able TO affirm this report IL must be-
very able courti No wonder there is q
