The Purcell Series of MinesL0pin-
ION of Miners.


In view Of the proposed sale Of the
mill plant at Seligman, we presume
no further efforts will be made TO de-
velop the Purcell series Of mines I'M
less they change hands. 1t would be
a matter Of regret should the property
remain idle after so much money has
been spent upon it. The vein Of the
Purcell mines can be definitely traced
for miles, and if developed in a sys-
tematic manner, the richer chutes of
ore be followed and the poorer gangue
be left in place to hold up the ground,
there is little doubt but the mines can
be made 10 pay. This is the opinion
OF the better class Of miners who have
oiked in various places on the vein.
The big tunnel at the concentrator
level is already in 900 feet, and has
only 1900 feet further to run to
tap the vein 1850 feet deep. There
are burleighs, compressors and all
other necessary equipments on the
ground, and should the capital neces-
sary to complete the work be applied
for that purpose, there are no visible
reasons why the mines should not
pay we'll. The ground in the tunnel
is favorable for driving and will prob
ably not cost to exceed eight dollars
per foot to run it. There is a full
water supply at Seligman for all rea-
sonable purposes, and this a no
doubt be greatly increased by driving
a tunnel through the porphyry under
the bed Of the southerly branch of the
canyon, which, on account of the easy
working nature OF the ground, can be
speedily done at comparatively trifling
cost

Ad vantageous Arrangement.

From the London Mining Journal of
the 22nd ult., we learn that Messrs.
Bewick & Moreing, a highly respect
able and influential firm of mining en-
gineers of London, England, have
taken into partnership with them Mr..
Edward Hooper, a Freiberg student
and civil and mining engineer, who
has had several years experience
managing and reporting on gold and
silver mines in America. He will re-
side in San Francisco, and, says the
Journal, this arrangement will be
very advantageous for companies and
others requiring reports on mines in
the United States and Mexico, as il
will save the great cost and loss oil
time entailed by sending an engineer
specially from England.

THE GREAT WATER SUIT.
Interested Elkoites Suggesting
hat 10 Do.

The Elko Independent has the fol-
lowing relative to the great water suit
which is set for hearing in the District
Court at Winnemucca April 23rd.
1.-THE suit instituted at Winnie
mucca by p. N. Marker ct al, for the
adjudication of water rights on the
Humboldt and its tributaries, inter-
ests a large number Of the residents OF
this county who should take steps to
meet the emergency. We would sug.
guest that each precinct call a meet
ing of those interested and appoint
a good man as q representative to look
after the peoples interests. One
representative from each precinct
might constitute a committee from
Elko county, and this committee
should be clothed with power to EN-
ploy an attorney to look after the
interests of those summoned to APP
pear. The expense Of the proceedings
can be met by an assessment oil those
interested in proportion to the magni-
tude OF their water interests, and thus
the cost to each individual would be
insignificant.
alt is the opinion Of attorneys here
that in order to avoid future trouble,
all claimants of water rights should
appear either in person or by attorney
and present the necessary proofs to
establish their respective claims for a
failure to answer might involve future
expensive litigation. The matter
should be attended to at once, and we
think il would be well for the people
to go to work and prepare for the com
inc litioation

A Black Picture Painted by she
San Francisco news Letter.,

A Black Picture Painted by the
san Francisco News Letter."
The San Francisco News Letter con-
tains the following slanderous attack
upon Nevada: The Louisiana Lottery
Company is said TO have designs upon
Nevada. There is no reason why it
should not have. Nevada comes
rather high in Senatorial elections,
but there is no state in the Union that
could be obtained more reasonably
for a lottery. There are only about
five papers that would need to be
retained. A lease Of the Holstein
ranch at $50 a month would probably
fetch Sam Davis, and a two-column
ad. apiece would secure the grateful
allegiance of the rest. The recent
popular vote showed a majority OF 700
or 800 against lotteries. A change of
500 votes would make a good, safe
majority the other way. Five hundred
votes at 800 apiece would cost $50,-
600. A majority Of the Legislature OF
course, would take more. Twelve
Senators, at s25 200 apiece, would be
5000 900, and twenty-four Represent
%atives, at 5000, would be another
100000. Half a million in all would
cover everything, with an ample mar
gin to spare. What is half a million
to the Louisiana Lottery Company?
In fact, even that would not have to
be paid entirely in cash a distribution
of lottery tickets would be almost as
effective. II the whole State were
papered with certificates OF stock in the
first monthly drawing, there would
be a wave OF public sentiment in favor
of the franchise that would sweep over
the conscientious objections of under
paid legislators like a mountain reser-
voir over a mud dam. Nevada is the
market. How much is bid?"
THE fellow who wrote the above
drew upon his dishonest nature for
We have no fear of che Louis

Miltonian and unscriptural. What
did John Milton know about this evil
spirit more than any other mani His
book has done incalculable injury to
the world. Especially to the aus Of

A Rickety Bridge .

The bridge across the river at the foot OF
Main street is in a dangerous condition for
large teams to travel over. The bents under
the structure were washed out when the ice
went out of the river last Winter and high
water since then has prevented their beng
replaced The beams overhead are rotted
away and there is very little left to keep the
bridge in place. Should the river raise high
enough to strike the bridge sills it will be
good bye bridge. The Commissioners ought,
we think, to take steps as soon as possible to
right the bridge up. By driving spiles on
each side Of the bridge as it is now and
running new stills across the bridge could be
repaired, or really a new bridge built, at a
less expense than it would take to make a
new bridge should this one 60 down. This
bridge is not wide enough, and in making a
change this defect could be remedied. Now
should the bridge go down with team on it
the county would be subject to heavy suit
for damages.
