PROSPEROUS PIoCHE.
what the Approaching Railroad
las Done for IG.

In the last Phoebe Record that
reached this office, We notice the re.
cording Of twelve new mining loca-
tons in the immediate neighborhood
OF Phoebe. That shows that the thrill
OF the approaching railroad is already
being felt in that region. Phoebe was
an old camp fifteen years ago.. 1t was
thought ten years ago that its glory
had departed forever, and yet, with a
railroad yet more than a hundred
miles away, with only a railroad grade
nearing the town, twelve new loca-
tons are made and recorded in a
single week-mines that were aban-
doned years ago are yielding now rich
ore, and the residents there conf
IDENTIFY hope that the glory Of the place
will return, and that its second pros
perity will be equal to, if not greater,
than the first. All Nevada needs to
restore all its old prestige, and to make
it the first of mining States, is rapid
and cheap communication. Whether
il will eve be blest that way remains
to be seem. We are strongly in hopes
OF being, before many days, in a posi-
ton to record the commencement of a
new railroad in that direction which
will be rushed with all reasonable
energy to a point where the dullest
eyes can see that to extend it further
would be the wisest act that ever a rail-
road company performed.-Salt Lake
Tribune.

ford Ignored.

The Sacramento Bee says: 1t
will be seen that the Republican Plat
form and Resolutions entirely ignore
all mention OF the name OF Senator
Stanford. There are two reasons for
that. One is that to have eulogized
him would have been to have
thrown a firebrand in the con-
vention. George A. Knight, ever
on the alert for q row,
was primed with an attack ppon
Stanford, so was a member OF the
Alameda delegation, and SO, it is ex-
pected, were one Or two others. The
wise-heads thought it better to choke
these fellows off and give them no
show to explode. The other reason
was that it would not have looked
we'll to have endorsed Stanford and
have omitted giving some words OF
praise to Morrow. As the latter
would be an impossibility, the conelu-
| sion was reached not to say anything
| on the subject"

Mrs. Josephine Walcott, in COM
pany with A. Derre (expert) and A.
Waitenwell and NJ. Bratnober (capi-
~talists,) arrived here Monday morning
from the west and spent two days ex-
aiming the Joanna bonanza. From
one OF the party a News reporter
learned that the gentlemen were well
pleased with what they saw in the
mine and believed the property to be
a valuable me-. The water question
how to secure water facilities for mill
ing purposes-seemed to be the great
obstacle in the way of making the
Joanna a profitable investment for
capitalists. When we assured the
party that was a bug-bear that need
not frighten away intending pur-
chasers as Murray Creek furnished an
ample supply Of water to run a thous-
and stamps, and it could be either pur-
chased or leased on reasonable terms,
the reply came, the title to Murray
Creek is clouded with threatened liti-
CATION" This plea We consider rather
himsy, and If these parties want a
good mine, and they have found what
they want in the Joanna, the outside
issues OF water.for milling purposes can
be easily arranged, with not a shadow
Of cloud of future litigation.
The gentlemen went out by We'd
nesday's stage, taking with them
samples from all parts OF the mime

We had some fine showers THU
week that brought the mercury down
some 20 degrees. Reports from
several places in the county say il
rsined very hard.
Nichols & Parsons have turned off
the water from the Ely mill ditch, and
there are rumors in the air OF a big
water suit in the les future.
DIR. Sawyer is back from the East.
He expects some Salt Lake mining
men here shortly TO inspect the Rob
Roy and other groups Of mines.
A. NJ. Yanderlip, an old resident Of
Cherry Creek, has pulled up stakes
and departed for the northern country.
We wish Van good luck.
Judge Wells, after an eight day
session OF court here, departed over
land Thursday morning for Belmont.
Capt. VIM. Anderson held the ribbons
that took the Judge away.
The Muscle (Exchequer) Company
of Cherry Greek shipped a bar of bull
lion ON the 18th through Wells, Fargo
& Co.'S Office at Ely, valued at $3.50.
The Merrimac suits, with all their
complications were amicably adjusted
in court this week without going to a
jury. An agreement was entered into
between the several parties whereby
each took judgment for the amounts
claimed, and the personal property
and mine was OWED" out in such
as TO suit all contending par
ties. The tangled web OF the Merri-
mac is now Strengthened out and We
hope to see it go spinning along with
out a kink henceforth.

An Old &allfIara.

Arthur McEwen, writing to the Ex-
aminer from the Sacramento Conven-
ton said: General Chapman, the
dark horse from the north, is a quiet
old gentleman with an imposing white
beard, who fits about unostentatiously
and tries to make himself agreeable.
He looks like a retiring man OF family,
with adistaste for noise and familiarity.
He came into the barrcom OF the
Capitol Hotel last mig an wes intro
duced to the rounders saere BY =
friend. His venerable figure, clothed
in YER black broadcloth, was out OF
key with the surroundings. He drank
soda water at the invitation OF his
friend, and crinkled his aged face into
q smile.
"Well," said a San Francisco dele
gate accustomed to the refinements OF
metropolitan barroom life, CHATS
the rockiest candidate I've ever seen.
I've been piping him off all day, and
I've seen him blow into a dozen
saloons, look around to find if he
knew any one, take a drink all by
himself, and blow out again. I'm for
Morrow myself, but if there's a break
I'll go for anybody but hal old soil
taire."
The above reminds us forcibly OF our
present Governors campaigning while
here.

CONSOLIDATING COUNTIES.
One OF m Provisions Of the New
Constitution.

The proposed new State Constitution
prepared by the Board Of Trade pro
vides that the IA counties into which
the State is divided, be reduced tc
eight-Lander, Churchill, Nye, White
Pine, Lyon and Douglas being con-
solidated with Esmeralda, Elko, Eu-
reka, Humboldt, Lincoln, Ormsby,
Storey and Washoe. As now defined,
Humboldt will lose a strip a mile or
more wide, on the east side from the
Oregon line 10 the railroad, near Bat
tie Mountain, from which place it will
gain territory south to a point near
Kingston, a jog being made in the
eastern line to leave Austin out.
From nea Kingston the line runs
west, taking in nearly all OF Churchill
county, including saltwater and the
sinks Of Carson, to a point near Cleaver
Peak, from which place it runs north
to the Oregon line, giving Washoe a
strip Of what is now Humboldt ter
ritory, including a part Of Camp Nc
Garry reservation. Washoe county
gets about twenty miles OF railroad
now owned by Churchill and loses a
mile and a half more OF road on the
east side.

CA RsON JEALOUSY.

The Silver State says there is a feel
ing Of jealousy, which the party bosses
cannot dissipate, between Carson and
Reno. Campaign e~loquence and the
clink Of coin, may silence it about
election time, but at present it can be
heard above the disputes OF factions,
and an example of it appears in a COM
munication in an other column. Car
son is the seat OF Government and
Reno is the headquarters OF the Board
OF Trade. Carson people allege that
the Board Of Trade is a political organ
i~zation, having for its principal object
the advancement OF certain persons to
the highest Office in the gift OF the
people Of Nevada. The tender of

Or eighteen members OF the Boar
the President Of the Board, would
dictate that the suspicious or all
tons Of the Carson people are
founded and may not have
wholly inspired by jealousy. OF course
it was somewhat presumptuous in the
members of the Board OF Trade to in
directly tender the President of the
organization his choice OF offices,
which are supposed to be at the dis
posal Of the qualified electors OF the
whole State, but those making the
tender doubtless knew that the
goods could be delivered for cash ("
and that the gentleman to whom the
tender was made could buy one or
the other or both.

THE CATTLE LOSSES.
Their Extent Just Beginning 60 b
Realized.

t. b. Hickey, who recently returned
from a two months trip through the
Eastern part Of the State, has this 70
say Of the situation
"Stockmen are Just beginning 10
realize the extent of their losses.
Parkinson, OF the Land & Cattle Com
pany, hit the estimate nearer than
anyone. lie figured the losses at %
per cent and they certainly reach that.
/ have been riding ever since June
10th over our ranges and We have lost
at least thirty thousand head OF cattle.
In Humboldt county in one OF the
ravines, l saw heaps Of cattle for
three miles. They were piled up as
many as three or four hundred in a
bunch. A herd which had sought
shelter from the storm, was covered
up with now and died; n
other herd went in ON top
and suffered the same fate.
And so they kept piling ON top Of each
other and dying as the snow drifted
over them. They we're piled thirty
feet high. 1t was like the French
cavalry that went into the sunken
road at Waterloo.
at makes ones heart sink to think
Of the ~sufferings Of those poor beasts.
They must have tramped each other
under foot. Think Of a writhing mass
Of dying cattle PROSTATE in the ravine
and another drove Of a hundred strong
stampeding right in on top Of them,
and the storm burying them all in a
common grave. There must have
been terrible struggles for the bones of
many Of them were broken. The sun
has dried out the top ones but the eff
fiuvia from those underneath is sicken-
ing.
Everywhere you go you find the
same state OF affairs and no one has
escaped except those who had stock in
the western and southern part OF the
State. / have been purchasing all the
cattle / could pick up in the south and
west and have taken about thirty
thousand head. / am buying all /
can TO restock the ranges. l do not
anticipate another such a Winter for
years"

Buried wealth.

Some French crank, with a taste for
statistics that are of no value to any
one, has fguredit out that the dentists
of America annually insert in the
teeth of their customers about 1900
pounds OF gold, which represents a
cost of $3.50 900. This gold is never
recovered Of course, but is buried with
the person in whose mouth il is placed.
The statistieian then goes on to say
that allowing for the rapid increase in
the population OF the United States
and the still more rapid deterioration
OF American teeth within 100 years
the cemeteries OF this country will con-
tain more gold than is now in circula-
ton in France. / suppose that when
this state oil affairs is reached mining
companies for the working OF Gene
teries will be a matter OF course.-St.
Louis Globe Democrat.

New Smelling Process.

Ex-Governor Grant, Of the Omaha

a number of experiments upon which
he has been engaged for over a year,
and is confident ne has discovered a
process for treating low grade, refrac-
tory ores, which if successful, will be
M Of the greatest discoveries in
smelling and ore treatment ever
known. The Denver News OF a recent
date SAYS: 1.-The details of the plan
are a secret yet, but the special ma
chinery to prove its success or failure
has been made and is now being put
in place for the test. Governor Grant
is certain he has discovered a method
Of treatment that will revoiutionize the
smelling business, but refuses to ex-
plain any details OF the plan until he
has demonstrated to his own satifac-
ton that his process is a success. The
machinery will be completed in a few
weeks and the result Of the test made
public"

Some OF our exchanges, which are
given to the discussion of candidates,
say that Judge Fitzgerald is in the
field for Governor, and then proceed to
show that he is not eligible for the po-
sition because he holds a judicial
Office. While, under the constitution,
a Judge may be disqualified for any
office other than judicial for the term
for which he was elected, it makes no
difference whatever in Judge Fitzger-

Powning for Governor.

The Tines Review, says the Silver
State, dominates G. @. Powning, of the
Reno Journal, for Governor, and
advances strong arguments in support
of his candidacy. General Powning
made an excellent legislator when in
the Senate, and it is not probable that
he would steal the inaugural address OF
some Governor east OF the Mississippi,
and use il as his own. 1t is not Likely,
either, that he would issue a PARTISAN
pean for a THANKSGIVING proclama-
ton, or imagine that he comprised the
whole State Government, and resolve
himself into a committee to adopt
resolutions OH the death of a fellow
official.
