The Silver Convention.

AS the time for action on tho ap-
pointment Of delegates to represent
us at the Silver Convention which
convenes in Carson City on the 18th
instant is becoming limited we would
suggest that, as this county is entitled
to eight delegates, according to the
basis OF representation as set forth IN
the call made by Thomas Fitch, that
Tuscarora, the principal mining camp
of the county, be entitled to half the
number OF delegates apportioned,
and the other portions of the county
to the other half. Let. some one
make suggestions as to the proper
mode of appointing such delegates.

Tried to Skin the Papers.

The Board Of Supervisors of Hol-
lister, California, fixed the rates for
city printing 30 low that no news
paper could afford to do the work.
The Board refused to change the
rate, and when that body attempted
to purchase land without advertising
it's intention an injunction suit to re-
strain the Auditor from issuing a
warrant was brought, on the grounds
OF non advertising, and the Superior
Court has granted the injunction.

Area OF Counties,

The Reno Journal says: "Ormsby
county has an area Of only 200 square
miles less than any county in the
State. The next smallest in area is
Storey, which has total of no square
miles, and Douglas 900. Lyon has
an area Of 1,490 square miles; Washoe,
6,700; Churchill, 10,04O; Esmeralda,
SOTO, and Humboldt, 1910" While
about it the Journal ought to have
given the area of all the counties in
he State.

Cleveland Trumbo. aged five years son of Mr.
T. ]. and Annie Trumbo of Kentucky, was &C
cidently and instantly killed by street-cal
driven by William Dawkins near Gas House
Alley. The little child ran from behind a cart
directly in front of the mules hitched to the
street car. The driver tried to save him from
injury and drew the mules and the car off the
track, but he was caught and crushed by the
car and instantly killed. His afflicted parents
had arrived here from Kentucky few weeks
before. The coroner, DIR. George 8. Walker,
summoned Jury of inquest, who. after ex-
aiming into the circumstances, acquitted the
driver of the street-car of all blame, as he bad
done eli he could to save the child.
The Jury consisted OF Messrs. l. R. Hartman.
Edward Hall, W. A. Cushing. J. W. Splitter, c.
A. Grafton, and w. n. Dornin.
The afflicted parents have the sincere SYM
pathies of all in this city. Their sufsrings In

pitched on the largest scale, unparalleled in
Its progress, the infant Hercules of Industrial
energy to-day this splendid young city of
single year, advertises It's first public sale of
lots. They have never yet had sale because
they desired no stimulated boom. Looking at
her mountains of iron, her scenic beauty Of Sit

ton, her central geographical position, her
railroads reaching to the four quarters and far
off ends of the earth, her superb climate, even
the dullest eyes saw that no artificial boom

peak towering over the busy plain. and point
all the world to her pride and boast, the Magic

Why do they sell now? Because capital from

deep seas, has sought with eager request to
lodge in the manifest metropolis the coming

tain to be prolific of golden returns that the
opportunity could not be lost-wise men do

the Interest of Buena Vista. Immense iron
and steel mills have been secured, guarantee
ing an enormus growth of population and
business in the immediate future and GER
tain advance of100 per cent in values of prop
erty.
AS an earnest of good faith and to encourage
and enlarge these industrial plants, the COM
pany has made large contributions to their
capital stock. 1t has also become necessary to
expend large sums in the development of the
town, its streets, water.works and lights. In
short the money realized from this sale how
ever large it may be. will be employed by the
company in such a manner as to absolutely
guarantee heavy advance in the price o.
town lots. Go to Bueua Vista and buy. 1t is
a safe thing to do. You are certain to realize
handsome returns. All the world is looking tc
Virginia. ALI Virginia is looking to Buens
Vista. Other places in the Old Dominion are
doing well, but this, fascinating, electric, un
rivaled young city excels them all.

nearly opposite the c. & c. depot, formerly
owned by Mr., Jas. II. Biackley and used by
him as a store, which he recently sold to the

fire. 1t threatened to be quite destructive as
that whole block was in danger, and would
inevitable have been destroyed, had not the
firemen arrived and done such duty, though
under unexpected difficulty. as the hose was
cut in several places. AS 1t was, they saved
the building on fire from utter destruction,
though it was considerably damaged, and
wholly saved the contiguous and other uear
buildings. AS the fire seems to have Originate
