Artesian Water

H. F. Swasey, OF Wabuska, is making
strenuous exertions toward securing supply
of arsesian water with which to irrigate the
lands Of Mason Valley, and to make fertile
the broad acres not now accessible to the
waters OF the Walker river. His plan is to
organize joint stock company, each mem
Der of which is to have an interest equal TO
the amount Of money he invests and TO have
the privilege Of applying his investment up
on any well boring that he may have done,
or to hold his interest for such dividends a,
may be realized, upon the enterprise becom
ing successfully established. Mr. Swasey
has been spending several days at Dayton,
Virginia City and Carson, for the purpose OF
perfectng this organization, and procuring
the necessary machinery for boring the wells.
The plant which he is after has been known
to sink well 500 feet deep in single day
at an expense for all materials and labor OF
about $50 per day. AT this rate any ranche'
can afford to have an attempt made to secure
flow of living mountain water at his very
door. The cost of the plant does not exceed
ST. 700, and is simple in construction and
management. Mr. Swasey being first class
engineer and mahcinist is just the man to run
such an enterprise.

Necessity for Extension of Surveys
Increase of Clerical Force I'm the
General Land Office.


A feature Of Commissioner Stockslagtr's
report which will be commended by the peo-
pie of the land States in which public sur
veys are incomplete, is the recommendation
for increased appropriations for surveying
public lands, and his remarks in this connec-
ton tending to prove shat coed work can not
be done for the prices--$7 to So per mile
now allowed for surveying.
The act Of March 3, 1887, directs that
railroad grants shall be adjusted without de-
lay, and much fault has been found with the
land office for an apparent lack of energy in
this direction. II seems that Congress, in its
wisdom or lack thereof, or through the care
lessness of men having the matter in charge,
does not know that it is utterly impossible to
adjust the largest grants, fer the reason that
millions OF acres Of lands lying within the
granted and indemnity limits are unsui veyed,
and no appropriation has been made to meet
the expense Of the surveys absolutely indis
pensable in the ad ustment OF grants. BY
reason Of the failure to survey the lands in
these grants the companies are permitted to
hold the lands, without taxation, and reap
the benefits Of the increase in value, while
| the people along the lines are compelled TO
carry the entire burden Of the LEGAL govern
| ments This is outrageous discrimination in
favor of the corporations, discouraglng to the
would-be settler, and detrimental to the
growth Of communities and improvement OF
I've country, practically defeating the objects
for which the grants were made. 1t is 10 be
hoped that the very sensible suggestions Of
the Commissioner on the subject of surveys
will be seconded by the Secretary Of the In
terror and acted bpon by Congress at the next
| session
The adjournment Of Congress on Saturday
without having passed either the general land
bill or the bill ferfeiting railroad grants full
| fills the predictions made in the first ct this
series Of letters, to which reference has been
once or twice since. 1t is TO be hoped that
the next session of Congress will be more
productive of results in this respect. The
presidential election will then have become
| thing of the past, and legislation for the
good Of the country without regard to effect
upon political organizations or the prospects
Of candidates for Office, may be enacted.
The suggestion of the Commissioner that
the force of his office should be increased
should be seconded heartily by all persons
| interested in land matters. The fact that
2,S,i5s final eneries of various classes are
pending before the land office, and that with
its present force the Office can dispose ct only
about =, 900 cases per annum, is sufficient
argument to prove the need of increased force
and strong effort should be made by the
people of the land States and Territories to
impress upon the minds of their representa-
tives in Congress the importance OF their In
terests, and necessity for more PromP
adjudication of land cases.

Thumb Torn OF.

Bob Smith, OF Mason Valley, met with a
peculiar and painful accident last Saturday
Bob was working for Dennis Higgins, OF the
Valley, and came in from the ranch on bust
ness. He was in the act OF putting the
horse in the stable and tying him, and had
Just run rope through hole in the manger
and was pulling it through with his thun'b,
when the animal jerked back. The loop in
the rope caugh, over Bob's thumb, and the
Jerk was SO strong that the thumb was taken
completely off at the first joint. Bob picked
up the end of his thumb, came down town,
and after taking a swig of Witherow's best
wet goods had DR.. Leavitt dress the injured
member. He is now resting quite comfort
ably. but it will be some weeks before he
can use his left hand.

Runaway.

Last Tuesday afternoon George Barton had
a narrow escape from serious accident. His
stage was standing in front of the Odeon sa
loon and Barton was engaged in looking for
a package in the boot. The leaders became
frightened and wheeling around ran up Pike
street. Barton was thrown off as. the team
turned around and received several bruises,
but no serious injuries. The team continued
to run until they were brought to stop in a
,ailings pile just above the Doug lass railroad
track on Main street. Charlie Fox was in
the stage and had a wild ride. He was not
hurt nor were the horses any Of them inlur-
ed. The only damage done was the spring
ing Of the front axle Of the stage.

Independent Candidate for District
Attorney.

To my friends, Irrespective Of PARTIES, I
hereby announce myself an independent
candidate for the Office of District Attorney,
Of Lyon County, Nevada, subject to the de-
cision at the polls, and propose 70 stand
upon the following platform, which vas
adopted by the overwhelming majority ct
ONE.
l am utterly opposed 10 "Trusts," that iss
mistrusts in political affairs by men in high
places.
l believe Lyon County has citizens who
are interested in her welfare, who are cap.
able Of managing her affairs without the aid
of "Carpet baggers."
All criminals should be punished, but no
person should be prosecuted under color ct
law.
I believe a District Attorney sould re-
ceive no assistance to be paid for out Of the
county's fund.
AS Superintendent of Schools the District
Attorney should take great interest, and
look with jealous care to the wants OF the
little ones. If elected this propose 10 do;
YES, and look out for the school mans too,
for
"Tis education forms the common mind,
lust as the twig is bent, the trees Inclined"
To prove that education shall be attended
TOO faithfully, if elected, will donate SIS

county.

do not believe in pledges to the public.
unless for the pubic good, therefore, if
elected, pledge myself never to cost Lyon
County one cent for outside help or advice,
and will give bonds 10 that effect.
Therefore, | ask every tax payer to con-.
slider the above, and every parent or guar
dian to give me their support.
Very truly your fellow citizen

MePite1 Success.

The Fair and dance given by the Helping
Hand society on last Tuesday evening was
by all odds the grandest success that has
been achieved by any public enterprise at
DAYTON for many day. The numerous ar
ticles manufactured by the little toilers.
were displayed on tables distributed around
the Hall and in abundance, workmanship
and arrangement were surprise to even
those who were acquainted with the manage
ment and purposes of the society. detail
ed account Of all these attractions would re-
ouire more space than can at present be
spared The principle source of amusement
was the Fish pond where all who saw mt to
bait their hook with a ten cent piece was
sure to catch a fish, as may be supposed,
very queer fish would occasional come to the
surface, and then the laugh went around.
The Post Office was we'll patronized by the
Young people and the letters received gave
general satisfaction. Supper was served
from to 9 o'clock and again from II to
o'clock, at the very low price OF IS cents.
Every article offered at the table was first
clsss and the supper was indeed least.
Several raffles were had, the chances having
been sold at IS cents each, and no one hav-
ing been solicited to buy a chance against
their inclination. Dancing commenced at g
o'clock and was kept up until 2 o'clock in
the morning when the company separated,
congratulatng themselves and each Other
urcn having spent the most enjoyable eve
ming imaginable.
The receipts from all sources amounted te
$I7o, and the disbursements to $3.50, leav
ing a net cash balance Of $I4I5o. This, to
gether with 500. already in the treasury
makes the snug little sum of $2o4.5o, which
it is the purpose of the society to invest ii
choice books at the earliest possible moment
Too much credit cannot be given to Mrs
Hazlett for the untiring zeal and energy dis
played by her in the conception and manage
ment of this society to its present state o
development and usefulness.
The Helping Hand society desire to return
their heartfelt and sincere thanks to all Wit
