SOUTH FORK VALLEY.

The valley Of the South Fork of the
Humboldt river is the next one north
OF Mound Valley, AID is an important
one owing to the volume of water in
the river and amount OF land that
can be. irrigated. The river is
formed by number of streams leay-
ing their source in the highest part
of the Ruby range, that, uniting to-
gether, form basin in the shape Of
the letter V. the lower part OF tn o
letter resting on the west and the
two sides extending up Lee creek on
the north and Rattlesnake creek on
the south nearly i've pliles, while.
their distance apart where they leave
! the tnountains is six miles north and
south. Within this space is the main
part of the settlements that the name
of South Fork is given to, but the
valley extends below this north west
fifteen miles. At the end Of this dis
lance the river enters narrow can.
yon six miles long and then flows
into the main Humboldt River Valley
at point eight miles below the town
OF Elko. There are about 5000 acres
OF land irrigated in the valley, great
part being in grain. Six miles above

part OF the valley is of the.

as the "Old Commoner' of Georgla, A. H. Stephens, used to say, the two metals, gold and silver, might be coined together, having one side to show silver, the other gold. Why should anybody object to this!
 Now, it is certainly clear to all, we need a larger money volume In and free silver coinage would partially bring about thls much to he desired result. Some other must be devised to help increase our circulating medium.
 We have not gone into dull statis- ties in this article, though we have them, and can readily prove by them all we claim about silver. As the surplus silver product of this coun- try is only about forty-two million dollars q year, the imitation and ruin predicted by the anti-silver men, can not very soon occur under free coin age. At this rate of increase Tn our circulating medium, it would take over half a century to furnish us 9 money volume to transact the business of the country. Hence, we say some plan must be provided to help increase it, in addition to free silver coinage.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our special correspondent.l


 WASHINGTON D. C., July l7, '9l.
 Representative Crisp, of Georgia, whose chances of being the next Speaker of the House have taken such a decided upward spurt recent ly, is in town this week. He talks confidently ,but not boastfully of his Speakership prospects, and has noth- ing but good words for his compcti- tors in what he calls "the friendly competition" He says that whcth- CT he or one of the other candidates gets the prize there will be no sore ness or hard feelings, as every one of them will cheerfully accept the decree of the caucus as final.
 Look out for a break between the Harrison and Blaine people. It may be avoided, but it may also occur at any time. The Blaine people have long suspected that most of the misrepresentations concerning MT. Blaine's health were the work of Mir. Harrison's friends, but it was only the other day that they sue ceeded in running one of the fakes down-the one saying that Blaine had placed his resignation in Harrl- sons hands because he never cX- pected to get well again-and in placing the authorship mighty close to "Lige" Halford, 1t having been telegraphcd from here by the cores pondent who represents the Indian apolis Journal, the paper which "Lige" used to edit, and which has for years been regarded as MT. Harrison's personal organ. This correspondent is known to be on the closest terms with Halford and 1t IS charged by the Blaintes that Hal ford inspired this fake dispatch, which the correspondent did not dare to wire his own paper although 1t was sent to several other papers in the West. To say that the Blaineits are mad is to draw it very mildly indeed. One of them, a man of national rep utation, has gone to Bar Harbor to
 
 lay the facts that he has discovered about the systematic attempts of the Harrison crowd to create the impress sion that MT. Blaine is wreck, men tally and physically, before that gen tIeman, and to Implore him to grant the use of his name ss Presidential candidate, which would of itself put an end to the Harrison candidacy at once.
 The count of cash in the Treasury was completed this week, and some foolish republicans are disposed to shout because the total reaches more than SG00, ,000, ,000 forgetting that there are liabilities outstanding against this amount in the shape Of gold certificates, silver treasury notes and United States notes, (green- backs) amounting to s8l3, ,7i6, ,o8i, which puts very different face on the matter.

STATE POLITICS.

An exchange aptly says, candi- dates for State offices are sprouting all over the State. It appears, from the following press dispatch, that the Alliance is going to take part Tn the next State campaign; there may not be much in It, but we give 1t as an item of news, and for whatever il is worth:
 LITTLE ROCK, Ark, July l?, 1891. The Washington county Alliance, in convention assembled, has passed a resolution declaring for the nomi- ination of complete Alliance ticket in the gubernatorial campaign one year hence. It is understood that the delegates from other counties to the State Alliance will also favor such a step, and that regular Democrat ic ticket will be opposed with Alll- ance candidates for all the State of- fees. The action of the Alliance of the county named, which is one of the most important in the State, has caused a ripple of excitement in po- lltical circles. The State Alliance claims 15 ,0O0 votes, four-fifths of whom are Democrats. Of course 1t will be impossible to vote all the members solidly for an Alliance gu bernatorial candidate, but the nom- ination of full ticket by that body will give tinge of uncertainty to the result of the next canvass for State officers, especially if the Democrats should nominate weak ticket. It is also said that the Republicans will never run another ticket in Arkan- sag, but will either hold aloof entire ly. or else aid the Alliance. Ali ance congressional candidates will be run in the Third and Fifth and possl- blv other districts.
 Although it is against the Alliance constitution for the order to enter politics, it has been done in a num- Der of instances heretofore, and it may he done in Arkansas, as predict ed above. When 1t does of course Powell Clayton will rally his Repub- lican cohorts to the support of it's candidates, and try to defeat the De- mocracy, as he has always joined in with every side-show heretofore. If the Alliance does enter the field of politics it will result in it's disruption as it did with the Grangers years ago. and Wheel. Democrats will continue to control Arkansas affairs.

Democrats all over the State had better begin the work of perfecting party organization at once. If the Alliance enters into the next State campaign with a full ticket, as pre- dicted in press dispatch which we give elsewhere in this paper, It will take earnest, effective work to win. The Fayetville Democrat confirms the report of the Alliance action in Washington county.

After Csmpbell's nomination for reelection for Governor of Ohio last Thursday, by the State Democratic convention, the Cincinnati delega- ton, who bitterly opposed him, re- fused to join in making the nomina- ton unanimous. Gov. Campbell had cleaned out the bosses and corrup- tionists in his own party in that city, hence thair kicking. The Cincin- natl Enquirer, which also opposed him, has swung into line, however, and will help elect him. Camp bell chances are good,

A Reliable A ssistant.

The poet and the almanac-maker agree that all seasons have their signs, but those of spring are most active and insistent. It is then that nature throw off the lethargy of winter and prepares to renew her bounties. It is then, also, that na- ture attemts to throw off the impur- ities that have lain dormant in the human system. This effort manifests itself in various ways-in the increas- ed activity of old affections, in the appearance of boiIs, carbuncles and other cruptions, and in various symp- toms so familiar to those who have suffered. It is at this period that nature finds an active and q trust worthy assistant in $. $. s., which, in the work of purifying the blood and strengthening the system, has proven to be the most perfect spring medicine ever offered to the public.

OF the distinguished visitor. and schemes
were devised for the best means OF taking
in the royal beast. Some persons spoke OF
forming party to hunt down the animal,
but none seemed to have the hardihood for
the enterprise.
When the news came to the ears OF the
intrepid Chief of Police NJ. j. Walsh. he at
once proposed to hunt it down and offered
to lead the party. A band of the most
daring 'and adventurous spirits was gath
cred together aud set out at once in search
of the strange exotic beast. After many
hardships and much roaming up hill aud
down dale the animal was sighted rubbing
his long name against a solitary tall and
blasted mountain oak. Chief Walsh gave
orders to his men to scatter, and he picked
up stone and cast it at the
animal. The buffalo raised his head,
and looEing about him saw his
pursuers. He then dashed away over the
hills, but was headed off by another men,
Der OF the party in the direction in which
he went. He turned, but again his course
was changed. Across the mountains, down
steep deolivities, over dashing streams, and
across the brows of high and PERCEPTIONS
rocks the chase was continued, but all the
while the pursuers sought to forcs the ami
NAL in the direction of the populated part
of the village of the Ridge. 1t was indeed
a spirited hunt, aud the hupters were de-
oH OdEuR ~ hllfo ~ uli udLAIus
After long pursuit the buffalo headed
for the farms and u triumphal shout issued
from the pursuers. He eaped the fence and
daried headong up the farm Of John
Thomas. Others who had seen the excite
ment got ahead Of the animal and when tho
party came up surrounded him about John
Thomas barn. The door of the barn was
open, and the timid and excited beast seeing
the only opening of escape. started through
the aperture at the d or. He struck his
head against the wall OF the barn and fell
exhausted to the floor. The barn door was
closed and bolted. and the worn out hunters
rejoicsd with all the energy they had left.
The question of where the animal came
from was then the mystery. 1t has since
been learned that when Pawnee Bill came
along with his Wild West show enc of his
bufaloes was 30 i'll that he left it in care Of
Mr.. Sanderson at Troop. When the animal
became strong enough to 20 about for him
self one day he escaped from the Enclosure
in which he was kept and unceremoniously
left his benefactor without leaving his adj
dress behind him. Attracted by Archibald,
which nature has painted with all the
| beauty OF her wildness, he went thither
and has since roamed free and unmolested
on her an lent hills.
