A Sick Town.

The malady, la grippe, which made its
first appearance here two weeks ago
yesterday, has since that time swept the
whole town and surrounding country.
Fully 90 per cent of the population here
have been affected by it, and FIVE deaths
have thus far resulted.
1t appears in several forms, severe
cold, with much coughing and pains in
the head and body being the ordinary
symptoms, leaving the patient after a
few days weak, enervated, unable to bear
exertion and slow Of permanent recovery.
In those cases which terminated fatally
the disease developed into pneumonia
more or less acute and death resulted
after not more than weeks sickness:
usually.
The question still is, not who is sick,
but who is well, and the sufferers art
found in every part of town.

Returned,

Messrs. M. ]. Silvia and George S.
Barber, who, two months ago took a
bond on the Balback mine, Pharanagat
lake district and went down to work on
the claim, have thrown up the work.
They say the natural disadvantages of
that section are augmented by the retro
grade policy of some of the old settlers
there, who, when things don't 60 to suit
their particular tastes or ideas, do all they
can to keep matters from going at all,
and the natural drawbacks to the section,
everything being so expensive, requires
cooperation on all sides to secure reason.
able showing on moderate outlay.
The lessees say the mine is a good
prospect but not rich enough to justify
work in the face of such unreasonable
difficulties as they encountered, so they
threw up the matter and returned las,
week to town with their supplies.

Daily Mail.

Why can't we have mail six times a
week on the Milford route? Our popu.
lation and the amount of business going
on warrants it, and We believe the postal
department will listen favorably to pc.
tition asking for it. We said nothing
about this last year, believing the rail.
road would continue to build and that
it was question of but few months
when it would reach us and the mail
service would change with it, but rail.
road work is now suspended and may
not be resumed again soon, 50 that We
may as well ask for the change now. We
believe it only requires proper setting
of the facts before the department to
secure the change.

The San Francisco Examiner says:
Senator Stewart has been making strenu-
Gus efforts to secure portion of the

Territories to Nevada. There are many

Williamson declared that Lander had
been unjnstly dealt with-should have
two Assemblymen instead of one.
Sawyer wanted two Assemblymen for
Lincoln instead OF one, and said the APP.
portionment proposed was out of all
manner of reason or justice. Lincoln,
with her 2,S5S Of population, was only
given one Senator and one Assemblymap,
yet Churchill, with only 2o3. was allowed
the sane. He law neither justice or
consttut onality in it.
Williamson spoke eloquently in favor
Of Lander, the mother of counties-Elko,
Nye, White Pine and Eureka being her
children. Her fair proportions hav been
cribbed. cabintd and consnei, and now
when she asks but simaple justice in the
matter of presentation, she certainly
ought not to be left. All Lander asks is
simple and exact justice, and will be
content with nothing else.
Foley had consulted with the Supreme
judges, and they said all this thing was

refer the bill to committee of the whole

clause, adjourn, lay on the table, pre-
vious question, and all that sort of thing
really discreditable to any legslativ

vote nineteen times.
Finally however, at 4:55 p. M, as tn
train for Virginia was about to pull out
the wrangling elements concluded
