Saturday night quite number of
citizens gath cred ut Mr.. Kennedy's in
honor OF the DIR. and passed very
enjoyable time. The DR.. is delighted
with the reception he has received by
the. people. the genial good fellowship
extended to him and the general con-
dition OF the country. He informed
the INDEPENDENT that he should re-
turn To his home in Kansas an en-
thusiastio advocate OF Nevada's
climate and possibilities. The DR..
would locate in Nevada and practice
his profession we're there an opening.

The Cariin Sampler.

Wetake occasion to direct the at
tention Of our readers to the an.
noupcement made in our weekly issue
OF the opening of the Carlin sainp!in
works, by Nv. J. Chamberlain j. CO."
The sampling works is the natural
and popular market, for the prompt
disposal OF the miners ore. In Col
orado, Arizona, New Mexico and
Montana, the business has assumed
mammoth proportions. In fact the
greater part of the ore, produced in
those States and Territories, is sold
to the local samplers. There appears
to toe some misrepresentation, in parts
of Nevada, as to the benefits, con-
ferred by such mills. In isolated
mining communities, such as Tusca-
rora, Columbia, Lone Mountain, Rich
mond, Bullion, Cortez, Mineral Hill,
Union, and others, in this county,
the shippers cab accompany and in
spect the sampling OF their ores and
receive payment and sacks within "A
hours after it's arrival at the sampler.
The advantage of this is apparent to
those who are now compelled to send
ores to Salt Lake, Denver and San
Francisco and wait from two to six
weeks for payment and sacks, and
even then perhaps be disappointed in
their returns. Returns made on ores
shipped long distances are past recall,
owing to the time consumed in COM
munIcations, and to the expense at
tached to trip to the shelters. II
dissatisfied with the returns made at
the sampler, the miner can have his
ore re-sampled. If differences exist
between the timers and mills assays,
they can be referred to an umpire
mutually agreed upon for settlement.
Small producers are oftsn prevented
from shipping to the smelters and
subjected to hardships, because the
railroad discriminates SO much
against those who cBnnoJ ship car
lota. The ore, is of such grade and
character that they are frequently
COMPELLED to hold it until car lot is
accumulated. Messrs. ". J. Cham
berlain & Goa the owners of the
works.. are successfully operating
several mills in Colorado, and5 now
solicit the patronage, of the mining
publicFof Nevada. They are not only
open to inspection, but invite the
closest scrutiny, of their prices and
business standing.

worldT According to them there exist
ed at the time of Noah a celebrated king
entitled Blegabres. He lived before the
flood, and inhabited land where, in the
manner of a less illustrious namesake
OF his, King Cole by name, not only
did music flow most sweetly, but other
things besides of more ardent nature.
There Is here, perhaps, a direct allu-
sion to Noah's intoxication, but moth
ing is stated thereon in the tale.
King Blegabres lived in this happy
land, and listened all day long to the
strains of cornet, psaltery, sackbut,
etc. in fact, the court breathed eter-
nal music, as, according to Homer, the
court of Holus king of the winds, is
described no less graphically and mys-
teriously as doing. The memory of
King Blegabres and his court, washed
out by the flood, was after awhile re-
vived by st. Julian, the patron saint
OF minstrels, who, bya divine intuition,
was enabled to report concerning the
infancy of the musical art.-Chambers'
