County Official Paper
SURVEYOR-GENERAL'S RE-
PORT.

We have received with the compli-
ments Of j. E. Jones, the report of
the Surveyor General and State Land
Register of the State Of Nevada for
the years 1889 and 1890. 1t is a
voluminous pamphlet of 195 pages,
and contains many interesting facts
in relation to the various resources of
Nevada.
From pages % and % Of the report
we extract the following relative to
the healthiness of our State:
1.-THE climate of Nevada is dry, pure
and healthy. No country In the
world is more free from infectious
diseases, and epidemics are unknown.
The sun usually shines bright and
clear until in December, the nights
being cool the year round in all parts
of the State. This marked popularity
of climate is due to the cooling effect
OF the many ranges OF snow-covered
mountains. The moisture Of the
clouds is condensed on the mountain
tops, the valleys receiving a limited
amount of rain, and fogs are unknown.
Our high altitude naturally promotes
longevity, making the State great
Sanitarium for consumptives. Few,
If any, children born here are afflicted
with lung troubles of the nature OF
nHafI Il I'm ~
Many beautiful Summer resorts for
invalids and health seekers would be
found in Nevada were proper metho is
used to bring them prominently into
notice."
Turning to pages so and SO we find
the following:
1.-The resources of Nevada are varied
and important, Ihe greatest period
of depression has been reached and
the dawn Of advancement is appear
ing. During the years 1887 and 1888
the State was seriously affected by
severe droughts, and the Winter Of
OF 1S89-90 was exceptionally severe,
resulting in a great loss of stock.
Fruits of all kinds, such as apples
Superior to any other produced in
market), pears, pouches, apricots,
plums, cherries and every kind OF
strawberries and strawberries are
grown to perfection. In the south
eastern. part of the State lie some OF
the best fruit lands. All of the semi
tropical fruits are produced in abun,
dance, such us figs, almonds, nectar.
iuea, grapes, dates, peaches, pears
upricots, etc, and all of the best quail
ity. Corn, cotton and tobacco can be-
raised with success and as abundantlJ
as IN the Mississippi Valley: Alfaltt
is cut four times n Year; in fact every
thing in the vegetable kingdom thai
has been tried to grow in that section
has hourished."

DAKorA,s GREAT CROP.
Rose Colored Reports From All Over
Both States.

Reports sent to the United States weather
bureau, South Dakota branch, from over
twenty North Dakota and thirty South
Dakota counties are very encouraging con-
corning crops. The temperature and sun
shine has been Il little below the average the
past week. but the conditions are very
favorable to all the crops except corn. which
needs warmer weather. but this has made
excellent progress. while wheat. oats. bar
ley. rye and flax have made marked growth
where wheat and other small grain was in
jured by dry weather and winds several
weeks ago. Their condition continues to
improve and. in most localities, the yield
under favorable conditions from now on
will suffer comparatively little reduction.
In most counties these crops are now rank
in growth and promise the best results.
Small grain that was thinly sown and
lightly covered is now being crowded by Il
rank growth of grass and weeds. This is
the case on 'stubblc' ground. In several
localities farmers have plowed such crops
under. and because of ample moisture are
seeding in milct. A large acreage has been
devoted to this crop and it is generally re-
ported in excellent condition and an ad-
vlnced stage of growth. The week has been
very favorable to potatoes and all garden
stutfs. Reports continue to indicate that
the prospects are favorable for the year.

Horrible Scenes i'm Africa.

Advices from Africa say that there has
been Il renewal OF the former horrible
scenes of slaughter and bloodshed, brought
about by the suppression of the 4 i've trade
and the inability of the stronger and
warlkc races to dispose OF their
numerous captives. The Wangarns are
reported to have made a raid into
Dagomba. carrying Off several thou
sand captivcs and destroying village
after village. The captives they secured
they were unable to dispose Of and feast
lasting three days was held and every
prisoner slain. In Coomasse the death
drum sounds continually and as many as
eco captives are said to have been killed in
one day.

SECRETARY FOSTERS VIEWS.

He Says Continued Coinage of Silver
Dollars Is Not Practical.
After the last cabinet meeting Secretary
Foster made the following statement in re-
gard to the silver question: After full and
careful consideration Of the law relating to
coinage of silver, Secretary Foster finds
that the act of March requires that the
secretary of the treasury shall as soon as
practicable coin trade dollar bars into sill
ver." He also finds that $4,000 have been
appropriated for the recoinage of subsidiary
silver coin into such denominations as will
best serve to give it circulation. There is
q constant demand for small coins. princi-
pally dimes, which the minis have not been
able to supply. The secretary has decided
that his first duty in this matter is to obey
the direction of congress. Congress has
ordered the coinage of the trade dollar bars
into standard silver dollars Coinage of
trade dollar bars in this manner Will trans
form what cost S5.0s1.1o5 into 5.14S.as1
standard dollars. The secretary finds that
this will require four months to perform The
work of coming trade dollar bars into
standard dollars and recoinng subsidiary
silver. Therefore the question of continued
coinage of silver dollars is not Il practical
one at present.

Seventeen Dead Counted on the Spot
and Many Injured.
The worst wreck ever known in West Vir-
ginia occurred on the Kanawha and Michi-
gan railroad. eight miles west of Charles
ton. The wreck occurred on a high trcstle.
The cross ties had caught fire during the
night and burned so the rails spread. The
engine and baggage and mail cars passed
over safely, but the two coaches of ex-
cursionists were thrown from the track
After running forty feet the ties the for
ward car toppled to the left and the rear
car to the right. The forward car turned
over and landed right side up. The other
fell twentyssfeet. turning upside down. and
one set OF trucks fell on top of it, crushing
the car to splinters. Under this place the
most of the dead were found. The scenes
among the dead and dying were horrible.
Ono little baby lost its father and mother.
One mans head was severed at the mouth
and the remainder of the head was tishcd
out from the wreck several hours after the
body was found. Seventeen dead were re-
ported and the injuries of many others may
prove fatal. What caused the burning
trcstle is not known. but it is supposed to
have caught by a cinder dropped from tho
engine.

wounding of four strikers, two women
and one colorcd guard. The trouble
commenced with the return of the train
at $40 p. m. from New Castle, which
contained number of Pinkerton men
who had escorted a load of negroes to
the latter mining camp. The guards
say that when the train was pulling into
Franklin it was fired upon by some of
the white miners in ambush, and that
while no one was hurt bullets whistlcd
through the windows of the train at a
lively rate. The guards returned the
fire from the windows, and the engineer
seeing the danger put the train under
full head and ran it to the depot which
is inside the dead line.
When the train had stopped the white
miners commenced firing upon the ne

on the flats below and or. the hill above
them. The negroes went perfectly wild,
and all the efforts of the guards could
not restrain them. They kept within
the camp lines and poured vo!ley after
volley upon the miners on the flats. who
replied with equally as much vigor. The
miners on the hill kept up good fire,
but were answered shot for shot by the
negroes.
After the shooting intense excitement
prevailed among the negroes, and they
gathered about their camp in groups,
threatening to make another charge
upon the white miners They were
finally Quoted by the officers of the
