month in San Francisco, the following reso.
luton was adopted:
Resolved, That the Secretay is hereby
instructed 10 Communicate with all American
Party organizations in the several States in
the Union, to ascertain their views and pro-
ceedings regarding the holding of Nation
al Convention for the nomination Of Presi-
dent and Vice President. 1t is believed
that the prevailing opinion in the Party il
California is favorable to a Convention, anc
the Americans are organizing for a vigorous
campaign. Nevada has not yet thoroughly
awakened to the America idea, but she will
be trotting along in line in few years.

PRospEROUs OUTLOOK.

Everything taken into consideration the
outlook for the agricultural portion of our
county is brighter than ever. Farmers gen.
orally seem to think that there will be more
profit in their business this season than here
tofore. Throughout Mason Valley and
Smiths Valley considerable more alfalfa and
grain will be put IN this year, which indi-
Gates that last season not enough was raised.
Although the Winter was severe one all
over the State, bat little stock was lost in
either Of the above named valleys. A great
many head of cattle and sheep were winter
ed in these vallies, which gave the ranchers
an opportunity to sell all their hay at good
figures, and had more hay been raised prob
ably more stock would have been fed there.
or course great deal of the looked for and
hoped for prosperity depends on their being
a good market for agricultural produce.
than heretofore, as the mining outlook all
along the c. & c., road is better than for
some time past. The chances are very fav,
orable fer an extension of tn. railroad into
the southern country, and. this alone will
make considerable new market. The min
ing outlook in this end of the county is
good, and this of course will help some,
while all the time outsiders are becoming
mere and more interested in our State. It
will not he long probably before MANY OF
our copper mines are worked, our marble
9uarries opened and a scene Of general live
illness be witnessed in the State. This will
all help the agricultural country, for beef,
bread and potatoes must be raised in larger
quantities then TO feed the many extra men
who will be enpl Dyed in these different en-.
terprises, and if they can raise any better
quality of the above three articles anywhere
IN the State outside of Lyon county we would
like to know where it is.

III is now quite evident that there were
not quite as many cases Of CHAMBERS in Ma
son Valley as were reported some time ago
The report, however, came from veterinary
surgeons who it was supposed would know
what CHAMBERS was, if anybody did, aud in
making mention Of the report we did so in
the belief that it would be well for horse
owners in the county to be on the watch for
the disease and not give it chance to spread
if any horses were found to have it. This
the farmers have done, but now that it is
qnite clearly understood and believed that
there are not any cases Of the disease in this
comfy we are glad to say so. There were
one or two cases, and it is fortunate that they
were discovered in time. An ounce of pre-.
vention is worth pound Of cure.

CHOOSING A srALLIoN.

The breeding season is at hand and the
to mate with their mares. This requires
some thoughts it must be borne in mind, by
the breeder, Just the kind Of stock he wants
to breed, if it is the heavier breeds, that too
high an estimate of mere weight, should not
be the only quality, in fact, this is SO gener-
ally sought for that some feel compelled to
cater to this demand, and so keep their stall
lions very fat, to the injury of the animal
and the disappointment Of the keeper, in
whose hands such a horse is very apt to do
badly. Weight, to a certain limit, is OF
course essential in draft-horse, but there
are other desirable qualities which should
not be considered secondary TO weight
Spirit, form and style are not to be disre.
garded in stallion to be used for breeding
a superior class of work horses. Some have
the idea that in raising horses for use in
heavy teaming, style and spirit are not i'm.
portant, but let them offer for sale horses Of
this kind, along with those having the quail.
tiles named, and the readiness with which
the latter sell, and the higher prices they
bring, will show them their mistake. These
qualifications should always be looked to,
but whether breeding for draft, general pur.
pose, trotting or running, we should be care
full in the selection of stallion that is
perfectly sound.
A stallion that is affected with any of the
many diseases to which horsefesh is subject
sheuld not be used for breeding purposes.
The sooner this is more generally acted upon
the fewer defective animals will be found
that have to be sold at LOSER.

A Chinese American,

The Grass Valley Nf7Vs says that Tin 10y,
leading Chinanan Of Grass Valley, has a
I4-year old daughter, who is purely Ameri.
can in her actions. She was born in Grass
Valley, and proudly insists that she is a "na.
tive American" girl. In this she is sustain
ed by the Supreme Court of the United
States, which declares that all, Of every
color, born in the United States, are native
born citizens. Miss Lily has shown her
Americanism in many ways. She dresses
like American girls, speaks nothing but
English, and goes 10 the public school. She
is an adept scholar, reads and writes we'll,
plays nicely on the piano, and paints hand
somely. Recently her father took her to
China and endeavored TO have her feet
"squeezed" Chinese fashion. The young
lady fought against this barbarity and tri
umphed. She attended the Chinese school:
for time and fairly ''broke up" the teacher
with her American independence. Last Sun
pay Tin 10y insisted that his daughter should
adopt the Chinese mode of dress and worship
at lie asst for their New Year festival Being
coerced into this barbarity, she LOCKED
herself in her room and refuses to be seei
by anyone. Ii is said she will remain thert
until her father revokes his order. Sh,
bsldly denounces the China gcds as mer,
home made devils Tin 10y is very proul

Gun LITTLE Son CURED

Our little son will be four years Of on the 25th

painful breaking out of the skin We called in ply
stefan, who treated him for about four weeks. The
child received little good from the treatment
the breaking out supposed by the physician to be
hives in aggravated form became larger in blotches
and more and distressing. We frequently
obliged to get in the night and rub him with soda
in water strong liniments, etc. Finally called
other ply sicans, until less than six had attempted
to cure him, all alike failing, and the child steadily
getting worse and until about the Goth OF last
July, when we began to give him CUTICURA REsoLv-
ENT internally and the CUTICURA and CUTIcURA SOAP
externally, and by the last Of August he nearly
well that gave him only dose Of the REsoLv-

and he has been troubled since with the horrible
