FRESNO, July 28.-John B. Murphy,
OF Auberry Valley gave himself up to the
sheriff today, saying he had killed Philo
Johns. Beyond that Murphy refused to
make any statement. From other
sources it is learned that the cause of
the shooting was Johns intimacy with
Murphy's wife. The men had frequent
quarfels, and yesterday met. Murphy
was armed with rife and revolver and
told Johns to defend himself. The lat
ter said he was unarmed and Murphy
then handed him his rifle. Johns re-
fused to take it and Murphy shot him

Your correspondent was at Sabula one
day last week, and, while there, met the man
who talks loud for the benefit of the whole
company. In this case the loud talker was
a commercial traveller. He had been out to
Lestervile, and was talking of the possibili-
ties of this country. He said this wonid be
u good country for dairy farming, and that
the people Of this country did not under
stand nor know the possibilities Of this coun.
ty. That IL the dairy men around ST. Louis
had such water as we have they would make
independent fortunes. That AN ordinary
cow would give four hundred pounds of
milks per month, which, at ten cents per
hundred, would amount to forty dollars.
We listeners thought it would amount to
| forty cents, but as we were only common
| folks we said nothing. There is no doubt,
| however, but that much more could be made
from these hills and valleys If each
spot of land was devoted to the raising of
that to which it is best adopted. There are
lots of fine and beautiful spots for orchards
and vineyards, others that would produce
splendid blue grass for pasture that are lying
idle, covered with underbrush and briers.
But the people of this country are not alto
gether to blame for this, as large boddies OF
land are held by spectators and non-resi-
dents, and men who would improve these
fertile spots can't secure them. The only
remedy for this in my humble opinion is the
single fax remedy. There is no doubt in my
mind that large bodies of mineral exist in
these hills. If capital coud be induced to
search for and develop them. Considerable
lead was found in a well at this place and in
the old creek bed, about mile and q hal
: north Of us, there is said to be good leaC
OF lead. Energy and enterprise are wanting

Ed. Reoister-I have a clipping from your

of that fact, there Is not single word OF
truth in bis ar icle. "Ieaac" says the agent
received the order, but gave clearance in
stead OF putting out his red light. Now, the
agent was not on duty atthat hour; further.
auy reasonable man who has ever seen q

use of issuing clearance # the red light had
not been displayed. He then goes ON to say

NEVADA FAIRS.

According to all accounts the Fairs in
Nevada this year have been better and
more numerously attended than in any
previous year. This argues well for the
State in various directions. 1t Shove
above all things a contentment Of the
people with their surroundings and q
laudable sentiment Of pride in home sf-
fairs. The State Fair at Reno was ex-
~oeptionslly interesting this year, as was
also the local Fair held at Carson. We
have observed Of late years with much
qualification a growing feeling among our
people to make permanent homes in Ne
vsda. This was not always so. In the
flush days there were few people here
with their minds made up to stay longer
than was necessary to better their condi-
ton from a financial stand point. They
were here to make money and go else
where to make homes. II was in part
owing to this cause that our politics be.
came so badly demoralized. Nobody
seemed to care what happened. There
was that lack of personal interest and
pride in our State and local affairs that
obtained in all OF the other States Of the
Union. Hence it was that we sold our
Senatorships and other high places to
men from California, who were the recog.
nized tools and servants Of the great cor.
poration which has oppressed the State
and retarded its prosperity through all
Of the years since its settlement. II
through the Australian ballot law, which
we now have, and the development Of
home pride, all this shall be reformed
for the future, there may be hope that
Nevada will yet take her place among
the proudest of the commonwealth com
posing the great Republic. We have al.
ways insisted. and still insist, on the
good o~ld-fashioned home-spun doctrine
Of Nevada for Nevsdans.

1T LOOKS LIKE mcKINLEY.

We have been reading the Eastern
press very closely on the progress OF the
campaign in Ohio. 1t is q stirring battle
and party lines are being very tightly
drawn. The Republicans realize that to
lose Ohio along with New York and Iowa
will kill them dead in next years Presi-
Dental race. Hence they are putting
forth every effort to hold the Buckeye
State. The manufacturers of Pennsyl.
vania and New England are pouring mill.
ions into the canvass to save Mckinley.
The gold bags of Wall street will no
doubt do the same thing. Mckinley and
the Republican party in Ohio are stand
ing for the single gold standard and de-
nouncing the free coinage of silver from
every stump. With these advantages
and 20, 700 majority to draw against they
ought to carry the State without much
difficulty. The farmers seem to be cut
ting but Q small figure in the canvass.
The papers report that they are drifting
back to the old parties according to for
mer Identification and utilization. This
makes the outlook still worse for the
Democrats. Governor Campbell is max.
ing a great campaign. but we fear the
odds will be found too great for him. At
this writing it looks very much like the
election Of Mckinley was almost an as.
sured fact. And when he is elected on
the gold bug ticket will the Republicans
of Nevada celebrate his triumph with
torchlight professions, or will they drink
TO his success and health in silence , We
have not heard Of many Nevada Repub-
licans who express a desire for the over
throw Of their gold bug brethren in Ohio.
II is silver after party with most OF them.

ELECTRIC MINING APPARATUS.

Great interest has been manifested in
the new Edison electric mining appli.
ances exhibited in the electrical exposi-
ton in Montreal. The most striking Of
these is the electrical percussion drill,
which will bore at the rate OF three in
ches per minute in the hardest granite.
1t requires but little power to operate,
and can be worked any distance from the
dynamo to a limit Of three miles. The
drill is very simple in construction, hav.
ing no moving parts except the plunger,
and nothing that WILLIS affected by moist.
ure. This device, it is said by experts,
will completely revolutionize mining
work. The next in importance ia the
diamond prospecting core drill, designs-
ted for locating mineral deposits. 1t will
bore $50 feet into the earth, bringing out
a specimen Of the mineral for the pur-
pose OF determining its value. Some have
likened this drill to the mythical "di-
vining rod" which was supposed to indi-
cate the location Of minerals. The Edi-
son drill certainly resembles such an
invaluable instrument. Aside from these
are exhibited electric coal drills, electric
hoists, electric fans, electric pumps,
showing that Edison has turned his at
~tention in earnest to mining work, and
many marvellous results are expected
from this branch Of electricity in the neal
future.
