The White Pine news. [volume] (Treasure City, Nev.) 1868-1906, 1892-10-08
From Hamilton.
HAMILTON, Oct. 3, 1892.

The citizens of old White Pine Dis
trict were agreeable surprised and
honored with the Hon. Thomas Wren
and the Hon. Francis G.. Newlands, our
champion silver candidate for Con-
gress. A large and enthusiastic gath
ering of ladies and gentlemen assembled
here tonight to hear Mr.. Wren and
Mr.. Newlands.
Mr.. Newlands opened the ball, ad-
dressing the audience with one of his
honest, frank, undeniable silver
speeches. He clearly showed the
great wrong that had been done
in the decentralization of silver and
the wrecked financial condition by
keeping silver demonetized and what
will follow unless silver be remonet-
lied and restored to where it was and
justly belongs.
Hon. Thomas Wren, pioneer of
40 of California and Nevada and also
of White Pine county, miners friend
and one who has invested more money
in mining than any single individual
on the Pacific Coast, followed Mr..
Newlands with one of the most practi-
cal, truthful, frank and courageous
silver speeches ever delivered before
any audience. No man on this Pa
cifc Coast from a home standpoint
understands the great silver question
more thoroughly than Mr.. Wren. He
and Mr.. Newlands denounced both
the Democratic and Republican chest
nut parties.
The White Pine bras band played
national airs, including operate songs
-"Sweet Home" and "Good Night, !"
and Hamilton cafes were all done up
in fine style. Messrs. Newlands and
Wren have the hearts of all White
Pines people and promised solid for
the Silver party next November.
Mrs. I. M. Robinson is suffering
with rheumatism.
John Molitor is improving. His
daughter, Miss Bertha, came up from

ther.

Last week Paul Casana died here at
the age of 40 years. He was native

Cavetl On.

About o'clock last Sunday after
noon, Ross Humphrey and J. A. Daley,
who were working in the Chairman,
had a narrow escape with their lives
from sudden cave. Daley was stand
ing on plank IL feet above the tun-
mel floor preparing to timber the
ground, while Ross was on the tunnel
floor shoveling loose dirt. All of a
sudden the ground above gave way
and some 1900 pounds of loose dirt
came down, striking the plank on the
other end from where Daley stood and
throwing him up to the roof, from which
he fell to the tunnel floor, lighting
a-straddle of car and sustaining no
serious injury. The bulk of the dirt
came down on Mr.. Humphrey and he
was seriously injured about the back
and spine, and one of his ribs detached
from the back bone. He was brought
home and DIR. Davis called in who is
doing all he can for him. The doctor
thinks Ross will get well. The SYM
pathy of this whole community is ex-
tend to Mr.. and Mrs. Humphrey,
who have had more than their share
i'll luck during the past two years.

school Exhibition at Taylor.

A correspondent writes us from Tay-
lor under date of the 4th, that the
School Exhibition given at the Opera
House by Miss Alice Carothers on the
eve of her departure for Cherry Creek
Sept. 28th) was very enjoyable
affair. The scholars, though few in
number, gave good account of them
selves. Mrs. Duncan Mcdonald and
Mrs. David Felsenthal lent their vocal
and instrumental musical talents to
the occasion, and we had an entertain
ment that was in the nature of sur
prise. Miss Alice left her uncom-
pleted term in Taylor to be filed by
her sister, Miss Jennie Carothers, who
gives promise of filling the position
acceptably.
A dance followed the exercises and
both were largely attended.

THE SALT LAKE ROAD.
One Million In Stock Is Said TO Be
Subscribed For.

One Million In Stock Is Said To Be
Subscribed For.
The promoters of the San Francisco
and Salt Lake Railroad Company are
now said to have guarantees in black
and white for a round 100000 of
subscriptions to the stock of the com.
pany. THIS amount, it should be un-
derstood, has not merely been prom
ised. 1.-THE day of promises" as one
of the friends of the enterprise ex-
pressed it to a Post representative,
"has gone by. What we are taking
now is signatures. If promises were
dollars we should have considerably
more than a million just now. But
a million dollars in black and white
for new railroad enterprise is not at
all bad"
What was said about the futility of
depending upon promises was doubt
less justified by the facts. AS has al
ready been reported in the Post, one
of the principle hackers of the new
enterprise complained few day ago
that a certain very wealthy man who
had in the beginning talked in very
large minded way of what they would
do when the time came, afterward
failed to justly the expectations that
had been built upon his words. AS
an offset to the disappointment this
caused, however, the aggregate of sub
scriptions coming in from persons of
more moderate means was proving, it
was stated. great deal larger than
had been looked for at this juncture.

No one will hesitate to sign the GER

Killing Off Rabbits.

A method Of rabbit destruction, which
has been tried with considerable success
in the Hay district, as recommended by
The Agricultural Ga-ette, Of New South
Wales, is worthy Of the consideration of
pastoralists throughout the colony, more
especially where the rainfall is light
The destroying agent IS poisoned water,
which IS prepared as follows: Cover one
ounce Of strychnine with concentrated
hydTochlorie acid, or what is commonly
known as strong muriatic acid or spirits
OF salts, and leave TO soak all night. The
mixture easily dissolves in half a gallon
Of boiling water. After making the So
luton bottle offand use as required. A
pint of the mixture viii poison sixty
gallons Of cold water possibly weaker
mixture might be efficaciOus. This sys-
TEN has been adopted at Benerembah
station, sixteen shallow eight to ten gal
Ion troughs being used to each tank, and
the number Of rabbits poisoned at each
tank nightly is stated to be 10000. In
the Mossgiel district no less than 1900
rabbits were destroyed in two weeks by
the use Of poisoned water.

Farm and Garden Notes.

Do not fatten breeding fowls.
See that every bee colony begin the
season with clean, sweet hive.
Never commit the blunder Of breeding
good mare to poor horse.
Feed the horses plentifully, but Judi
ciously, especially the work team.
Have the team arranged with a view of
egualizing the strength as much as poL-
sible.
Overlooking is liable TO make young
horses balky.
Do not waste on land fertilizers that it
does not need.
Currants need rich strong soil the
roots run deep.
Trees are often planted in thin, worn
out soil, and actually starved to death.
A good dressing of manure would have
saved them.
Give charcoal to the fowls once a week.
