Hop Culture.

It is an admitted fact that Nevada
soil produces the best hay and grain
in the world, and there is every rea-
son to believe that it will produce the
best hops. Hops are very valuable
crop, and in this climate they could
be gathered and cured without any
danger of being damaged by rain. In
California and other States the crop
frequently suffers severely from fall
rains.
Rain has the same effect on hops
that it has on hay, reduces their
strength and destroys their flavor.
Numerous experiments in hop culture
will probably be made in this State
next season, and, if successful, land
here will become valuable indeed. In
parts of the State of Washington land
chat is in hops is valued at $500 an
acre and upwards.
Hops are usually planted in rows,
six feet apart each way. Only small
yield is expected The first season, but
a crop of potatoes or other vegetables
can be raised between the rows. The
few hops now grown in this State,
over bedroom WI ldows and back
porches are said to be far superior to
California hops, possessing greater
strength and exquisite flavor. The
soil on the vast plain at the foot of
Six-Mile Canyon is said to be pecu-
liarly adopted to hop culture. Genoa

Death of Sheriff Morris.

Eureka Sentinel: A dispatch was
received here yesterday morning from
San Francisco announcing the death
of James Morris, Sheriff of this coun-
ty, which occurred at the residence of
Mrs. John McCabe, sister-in-law of
the deceased, at San Rafael, Cal, last
evening. Mr.. Morris left here about
month ago for California, hoping
that change of climate would inn
prove his health which had been poor
for long time previous, being affiict-
ed with consumption. The deceased
had been Sheriff nearly a year, and
during that time conducted the affairs
of the office honestly and faithfully.
He was an upright man and worthy
citizen. He leaves a wife, brother,
daughter and a host of friends to
mourn his loss. He was a native of
Ireland, aged about 30 years. Peace
to his ashes.

MOhaVe Gold Fields

The gold fields recently discovered
near Mohave are located in Red Rock
Canyon, says an exchange. About
one mile below the stage station a
narrow canyon runs at nearly right
angles to the main canyon. Up that
narrow canyon about one mile is the
placer ground. The finder in four
days took out $3.50. He took the gold
to Mohave aud sold it there. Then
with partner he started back to his
claim, and in two days the two men
took out $500
They put the gold-bearing dirt into
sacks and carried it down to the
stream in Red canyon, where they
washed it out. Some of the sacks
of dirt yielded $40 worth of gold. The
report of this rich find had the usual
effect of causing rush to the ground,
and last Sunday it was told at the
station at Red Rock Canyon that 200
men were already there prospecting
and locating claims. The claim is
about twenty-five miles north of Mo-
have.

Murder in the Second Degrees.

The Carson News of the 10Th says ::
At half-past IL o'clock yesterday the
jury in the Parsons case informed
Judge Rising that they had reached a
verdict. The attorneys were sent for
and the defendant brought into Court.
The Clerk read the verdict, murder in
the second degree with a recommend
alton to mercy. Parsons broke down
completely and cried like child when
the verdict was read. The verdict
appears to have given general salts
faction to the public. The first bal
lot stood six for murder in the first
degree and six for murder in the sec
ond degree.
Sentence will be pronounced next
Saturday. Later-He has since been
sentenced to 21 years in the State
Prison.

Tears over a Bad Egg.

Deputy Sheriff Howard brought G.
Williams to the County jail from Car
lin last night to serve out sentence
of fifty days. Williams is the young
man who swindled the ladies of Car
lin out of their pin money by pretend
ing to be an agent of j. j. OBrien
& Co., of San Francisco, and selling
them cheap dry goods.
We understand that the young man
plead guilty when arranged by Justice
Palmer and gave the ladies back their
money. The Judge then with all the
sew Gritty he could command sentenced
the shivering culprit to pay fine of
$3.50 or be imprisoned in the County
Jail for seventy-6ve days.
Then it was that the hearts of the
Carin ladies were touched and each
swindled one begged the swindler to
take back the fifty lucre they had given
up through the influence of his honey
ed words. Tears as large as hailstones
rolled down their velvety checks form
ing rivulets on the floor, and, just as
the furniture of the court room was
about to be submerged in the briny
flood, the finty heart of the Justice
was touched and he revoked his former
sentence and sentenced the guileless
youth to pay a fine of $50 or get free
meals at the Hotel Henderson for a
period of fifty days.
The scene we are told was a pathet-
ic one, the like of which has never be-
fore been seen within the precincts
where the blind-eyed goddess holds
aloft hi scepter and deals out equal

Lais; to Rest. !,

The funeral of Miss Sadie Campton
lsst Saturday afternoon was large
and impressive gathering. The scene at
the grave was very affecting as the fam
ily and friends of the dead gathered
around to drop the last tear on the
bier that was being consigned to earth.
Major Treece, who read the funeral
services, made the following appropri-
ate and touching remarks:
My FRIENDS: We have before us
a visible illustration of the indisputa-
BILE fact that death is no respector of
persons or ages. Less than month
last our young friend was among us
as blithe and merry as a birding with
new fedged pinions, with promise of
a long lease of life. Deaths relent-
less scythe has severed the chord and
extinguished the rush-light of her
youthful existence, and she is now a
victim of it's cold embrace. To say
that she was amiable, affectionate and
kind, and the pride of her school
mates and loved by all who knew her
would be but the utterance of an
axiom. We now lay her ifeless form
to rest in the narrow confines of the
silent tomb
"The storm that wrecksithe wintry sky,
No more 0iSturbS her deep TeDOS0.
Than Summer evenings latest sigh
That shuts the rose"

NEVADA BUILDING AND EXHIBIT.
The Residents of the silver State Will
Surprise Visitors.
rs. F. Chronicle.

rs. F. Chrouicle1
The plans for the Nevada State
building, of which a picture has al
ready appeared in the Chronicle, have
been finally adopted, and its erection
will be begun on Monday next. Ow-
ing to it's extensive and elaborate char
acter it is feared that it may not be
completed by New Years Day, but
Colonel Yerrington, the Nevada COM
missioner is confident that it will be all
ready to open to the public by the 10Th
of January at the latest, and he is
also firmly persuaded that it will be
sufficiently attractive when completed
to cause the public to forgive little
delay.
The building will be a two-story
structure of a mixed colonial and Ital-
ian style of architecture, and will GER
tainly be more more than ordinarily
attractive, both as to its exterior de-
sign and the arrangement and orna-
mentation within. All around the
walls, protruding from the cornice just
beneath the caves of the roof, will
be asnumber of fagstaffs, which will sup
port many colored flags at all times
except when the weather may be such
as to render the display inavisable.
The effect of this will be to make the
building in it's exterior aspect decided
ly picturesque.
Within the building it is intended
not only to provide space for exhib-
itors from the Silver State, but also to
consult the comfort and convenience
of visitors to as great an extent as
possible. To this end there will be
on the second floor several large re-
ception rooms for ladies and gentle
men, and above these apartments a
roof garden and cafe. All in all,
nothing that is likely to tend to make
the building popular place of resort
appears to have been forgotten.
The entire lower floor with the gal
lery surrounding it will be devoted to
the display of the products, the re-
sources, both mineral and agricultu-
raj, of Nevada, and there will
also be exhibited a most interesting
collections of anthropological speci-
mems. In this latter display will be
a reproduction of the remarkable foot
prints and fossils which have proved
such source of wonder to every one
who has ever visited and inspected the
quarries of the Nevada State Prison.
Nothing will be wanted, in fact, tc
make the Nevada exhibit, as a whole,
one in every way calculated to seize
upon and enchain the interest of every
visitor
It should be stated that the building
which is G0x50 feet in size, is located
just opposite the court at the entrance
so the forty-niners mining camp, and
it will therefore be accessible from all
central points of interest in the ex-
position.
