Assessor Peters estimates that
White Pine county's Assessment will
fall short nearly $780, 900 of what il
was last year. Ely is the only town
in the county that held its own and
improved.
We have no news from the Republi-
can State Convention which met in
Virginia City last Thursday. II
would not at all be surprising II the
head OF the ticket should be A. G..
Cleveland for Governor and Francis
q. Newlands for Congress.
We had a short but pleasant call
last Saturday morning from A. b.
Cooper, Secretary of the Martin White
Mining Company, and Mr.. Crowell,
both OF San Francisco. From here
the gentlemen went up to Ward to
inspect the company's mines.
Messrs. Cohen & Willard, now op-
Grating the mines at Morey, Nye
county, have been in Ely for several
days. Their mission here is to ex-
anime the mines OF the district. This
they have been busily doing since
their arrival. Thursday they went
across the valley and took q look at
the Peacock, which they pronounced a
prospect OF great promise.

Cattle Dying.

George Bradford, formerly Of Para
disc valley, is down from Northern
Elko. He says cattle are dying uI
that way from some unknown cause,
They are generally in good condition
and NOPE around for three or foul
days before they die.
The Dayton Times says: A number
of cattle in Mason valley have died
lately Of what is known as bloody
murrian. 5. B. Kinds has lost a
dozen or more animals from this dis.
ease, and other cattle owners have
lost from two to six animals. The
disease is sudden and fatal. Mr..
Kinds has been riding among the cat
tie right along and has not yet found
one sick-they are always dead.

next Spring will be worth about dou-

them for the April market. There is

MINING RRvIEW.
statistics, Reasons and Deduction
Mines which Have Lain Idle fol
Years VIII Now Pay 60 work.

| FEARS VIII NOW ray 10 WORK.
From the year 1864 up to the pres
ent time about $500 mining locations
were recorded in Eureka county,
nearly four thousand Of that number
having been recorded in Eureka Dis
trict. A large number Of the latter
were located during the most prosper
GUS period Of the camp, for speculative
purposes only, that were never
touched with a pick or shovel, but
we're abandoned. A large number OF
abandoned claims were several times
relocated, and many bona ide claims
we're partly developed and CONSOLE
dated or merged into companies. At
no time were there ever more than
400 producing claims in the county,
and at the close Of last year less than
20 mines were producing ore. There
are several reasons for this decline,
principal among which were the low
price Of silver that was caused by its
denomination in 1873, high prices of
fuel for the reduction OF ore, high rates
OF transportation, discrimination of
the Southern Pacific X. II. Company
against us, and exorbitant charges
and discounts made at Dur local re-
duction works which we're the out
come Of the other causes. There are a
large number OF claims in this district
that formerly produced ore in abund-
anee which have lain idle for years
past. They did not pay TO work I'M
der the circumstances above related
hut all of the detarsiya cauaaa have
been removed and there remains no
good eason why they should not now
be reopened and become productive
and profitable TO their owners as well
as beneficial to the camp.

He goes into frances in court and can
not proceed with his plcadings. He
loses his memory and forgets his pre-
vious existence. He starts out on q
new life, becomes different person,
and as such walks about, travels by
railway, stays at hotels, sleeps, pays
visits, buys, etc., and when restored to
his first condition is entirely ignorant
of what took place when in his second
condition. He has quarreled with his
father-in-law, smashed valuables, torn
up manuscripts, contracted debts, left
restaurants without paying his bills,
been charged with swlndling and con-
deinned in default, and when in his
normal condition has known nothing
whatever of any of these escapades.-

NeichI,ors in a Big City.

An instance of the entire Indifference
which New Workers feel for people who
live next door to them occurred when
a gentleman attempted to find q man
whose address had been given as 259
West Twenty-third street. The address
proved erroneous. The gentleman in
question lived and had lived for many
years at PSI in that street. He is an
ex-senator, man of great local pfomi-
hence, and is known pretty well from
one end of the city to the other, yet in
quiries at five or six houses in the i'm
mediate vicinity of PSI failed to dis
cover anybody who knew where the e1-
senator lived. The inquirer even asked
at 249 and 253, missing PSI by an acct
dent, and even then he was unable to
find the house.
It is said that one of the most vexing
questions in English social life is en-
braced in the phrase, fought we to call
