mR. wENBaN.s OPINION.
what he Says Of she D. Result o
the v inter fn Nevada.

the winter fn Nevada.
The interview with Mr.. Wanban o
Cortez, this county, published below
appeared in a San Francisco paper q
few days ago. Mr.. Wenban's es-
innate Of the loss of cattle, except in
exceptional cases, is entirely too high.
There can be no doubt that the per
centage of loss was very great in GER
tain localities, while in others it was
not above the normal. Following is
the interview:
Simeon Wenban, a mining mag
nate of Nevada, has just returned from
a tour Of inspection Of his Nevada
property. He said this evening /:
1.-THE snow and cold Of the past Win
ter has caused the death Of one-half Of
the cattle in Nevada. A neighbor
whose ranch adjoins mine at Cortez
lost 80 per cent Of his herds. / have
$50 head of stock lying dead around
my barns at Cortez in a space OF so to
100 feet. The Humboldt river is very
high and overlooking its banks. Hun
dreds Of dead cattle are floating down
the rver and piled up here and there
in large numbers. All we can do is to
cover these mountains of dead cattle
with brush and burn them up.
"All over the State Of Nevada dead
cattle are stacked up by hundreds.
The stencil is becoming something
terrible, and great injury to the health
of the people will result If sanitary
measures are not taken but the State
is doing nothing.
1.-THE loss to cattlemen by the snow
and cold OF the Winter will amount to
over 81 ,000, 900, and it may possibly
reach $4,000, 200. William Dunphy,
the San Francisco cattle man, tells me
that he lost 10000 head, valued at
$120, 900. In the southern part of the
State the result was not SO
disastrous, but in Eureka, Humboldt
Elko and other counties the effects
were terrible. The heavy snow was
followed by extreme cold. The
thermometer at my place at Cortez
registered 81 degrees below zero. The
snow was so deep that feed was
buried. There were also thousands
of horses and sheep that succumbed
to the severe weather. The Winter
has been disastrous to cattlemen as
any within my recollection"

The Deadne.s of Law Business.

The legal fraternity throughout the
State are complaining of dull times,
and many are making arrangements to
pull up stakes and emigrate to past
ures fresh and green. Judge King of
Reno - one OF Nevada's men-re-
Gently informed this reporter that
when he went TO Reno there were
over 400 cases in state of ferment or
process OF legal adjudication. To-day
there are not 20 cases remaining.
Several of the brightest members of
the Nevada bar, who in former years
were retained by mining companies at
salaries from $1,000 10 $4,000 a year,
no longer scorn the routine OF office
business, and are very glad to get it,

Mr.. H. Crowell, formerly a we'll
known resident of Eureka, returned
from the East during the week. He
spent the Winter in Michigan, and for
some years prior had been living in
Lander county. Mr.. Crowell has
mining property in Secret Canyon
which he returns to look after. Now
that silver is advancing, he thinks
that a mine is not a bad thing 10 have.
If anything is done for silver by
Congress. it will not be so difficult to
induce Eastern capital to invest in
Nevada mines.

Indian Agen. Appointed.

Captain G. G. Warner, formerly
Postmaster in this city, has been APP
pointed TO succeed S. S. Sears as In
dian Agent at the Pyramid Lake
Reservation. The Times Review says f:
1t must have been political considera-
tons exclusively which prompted the
removal OF Mr.. Sears, for tn ere was
nothing in his administration of affairs
there, which would have justified the
application of the AK to his official
head

The Discount ON silver.

The discount on the silver bullion
produced at the last run of the Union
mill, says the Times Review, resulted
in a loss to the Commonwealth Com
pany of upward of $llS, 900, or o
than enough to cover the expenses OF
running the mill and mine during the
time the mill was in operation.

a Developments I'm the Eureka Con.

The SENTINEL learns of a develop
ment OF a new ore body in the Eureka
Con. mine. 1t is located in the ground
formerly belonging to the X X Com
pany. The size of the new find is
said to be about nine feet in thickness,
so far as known, with evidences Of
still further improvement. There is
plenty of virgin ground in the vicinity
to contain a good-sized bonanza. 1t
would be a great thing for the camp if
some of the old-time ore bodies could
be unearthed in the Eureka Con.
There were acres of ore on some of the
levels Of that mine. The SENTINEL
hopes that this new find may prove
even larger than the largest of the
early-day wonders

| Virginia, for peace and rest, the beloved
| idol OF q grateful people. His retirement,
| however, was OF but short duration for his
| advice was constantly sought on ell public
| questions. The colonies were weak and
| struggling and embarrassed by debt q
disturbed by internal strife and dissen-
| sions. Their form Of Government WAS
neither satisfactory nor successful and
soon the idea began TO be sgitRted OF form
ing ga more perfect Union" A conven-
lion OF representatives from all the
colonies was called to meet at Philadelphia
in May 1887. General Washington was
chosen a delegate from Virginia, and made
President Of the convention. Washing
ton, Madison. Hamilton and Jay were the
leading spirits OF the convention though
lhe former spoke but twice during its
deliberations. There was much opposi-
ton and hostility to the formation OF the
Union among the colonies, mainly through
a jealous desire 10 preserve local rights.
Great Britain at the conclusion OF the
Revolutionary War had recognized each OF
The Is colonies separately and by name
as "free, sovereign and independent
States " and they we're reluctant to sur
render any part OF this character
There was also no well defined
idea as 10 the form OF government that
was to be created. Political parties were
unknown In the convention. Madison and
Hamilton led opposing ideas. Hamilton
wanted more power lodged in the Federal
Government, ~contending that IL would
be " q thing held together with ropes oil
sand" Madison favored ths form which
was adopted, the dual system, State and
national, and argued that the new Govern
ment II 10 endured al all must rest In the
affections Of the people. Hence the power
was coferred upon the General Govern
ment TO levy war, conclude peace, regulate
commerce, coin money, provide for thu
common defense and do such other thing
as might be properly embraced within
these delegated powers, while all othei
rights, local In their nature, were reserves

A TEXAS SEAPORT.
Frank Leslie's" Description Of Corpus
Christi and its Remarkable
Progress.
The Finest Bluff on the Texas Coast, Across
Which the Gulf Breeze Blows With
All Its Invigorating Force"

esiitor of Frank Leslie IS illustrated
Paper ressntly visited Corpus Christi
and in his fssae OF the 9th ult. gives the
| following description of that future
| deep water port of the Southwest:
"CoRPUs CHRISTI, THE LONG BRANCH OF
TEXAS AND DEEP-wATER PORT.
"Corpus Christi, fronting on Corpus
Christi bay, is the coming Long Branch
of Texas. Col. Ropes, the enterprising
manager of real estate operations in this
vicinity, has secured a magnificent tract
of land on the bluffs directly below
Corpus Christi, and upon this mag
nificent hotel is now in course of con-
struction. 1t is the finest bluff on the
Texan coast, and the elevation and its
propinquity to the gulf gives it all the
advantages of delightfully."- refreshing
and healthful atmosphere day and night,
especially IN summer, when the gulf
breeze blows with all its invigoratIng
force across these bluffs. The adjacent
lots have been selected for residences by
a number of prominent Texans in various
parts of the state. Directly across from
Corpus Cerlsti, a distance of about four
teen miles, lies long, low island called
Mustang island. This alone separates
the waters of the bay from the waters of
the gulf, and Col. Ropes is rapidly cut
ting channel through the island by
means of O steam dredge. Already
half the distance has been made,
and large force of men is DIT work pre-
pairing 8 pathway for the advancing
dredge. As soon as the work is COM
pleted-and il is being fastened with all
possible speed-ths thrush Of waters from
the gulf is expected to scour permanent
channel, aud the prominence of Corpus
Christi as deep-water port will be es-
tablishsd at once. From the site of the
hotel upon "The Cliffs'' q magnificent
view of the bay lies spread before the be-
holder, and the waters beneath, spark
ling in the sun, IN which thousands of
fish sport and play, furnish the sports
mans Paradise. The invalid who seeks
its invigorating air will find abundant
pastime in the health giving exercises of
yachting, fishing and hunting in the i'm
mediate vicinity. The air is dry and
pure, Notwithstanding and invigoratins.
The visitor who has not seen the rapid
development of this part Of the state can
have no comprehension of the result of
the enterprise of Col. Ropes and his asso-
ciates. Commercial business men
throughout the state, In faot throughout
the country, are watching the dredging
operations across Mustang island, and
prominent engineers have Endorsed Col.
Ropes plan, and assured him that it
must result In success. All these multi
piled interests have contributed largely
to the growth of Corpus Christi, and
promise to make continuous the marvel
GUS progress which it has enjoyed during
the past few years.

A WIDOWS LOSS.

Her House and Contents Turned While She
Was Out Picking Cotton.
Special to the Gazette.
PARIS, TEX. Oct. 5.-Mrs. Donley, 8
widow living four miles east of town
had the heavy misfortune Friday even
ing of losing her house and nearly all her
household goods. Her husband, who
was an old Union soldier, settled here
several years ago and died few years
back. Mrs. Donley is receiving a small
pension, and with it and by her own hard
work in running and cultivating her
place, has managed to make q living for
herself and her three children.
On Friday evening she and the
children were in the field picking cotton
when her house caught fire, and before
1t could reached or anything be done
it was destroyed with all its contents,
except, we believe, one bed. The
neighbors made up on the spot Sl5 in
money, and several OF them came to
town yesterday and were taking up COL
lectious for her with good results.
j. F. Croffer, on the contractor g
force on the Santa Fe, while loading
iron at Ben Franklin, had one ankle
caught under some falling iron and
pretty badly mashed. He was brought
here last night and the injured foot
dressed.
Commissioner Lee held an examining
trial yesterday Of Wallace Anderson, q
Choctaw. charged with an assault to kill
"a negro. The evidence disclosed that
Wallace made q break with q Wiuohes-
ter and then with an ak, and though
both were taken from him before he did
any hing, Commissioner Lee thought a
$500 bond to appear to await the grand
jury would about fit the case, and it was
SO recorded.
