Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1894-10-10
Yes, there is omit. a number Of cor.

ticular one, composed of some of the
best known and Influential cit zens
of Ormsby County and elsew here
had the misfortune to make General
Jones its treasurer, having implicit
confidence in his honesty and in ,
tegrity. The corporation to express
It's horrors of his methods Of bus!-
ness promoted him t. the Presi-
dency. If the great wickedness as
charged by the News is continued he
may in time become one of Board
Of Directors of Bank. The lands
of this company could and can prob
ably be bought at any time at the
State rate with the expense Ct the
non mineral affida, it added.
The assertion that at about the
time QSS9 or 1890 Hon. F. q, New
lands proposed the construction of a
series of storage reservoirs, Jones,
Nuteware and others formed COM
pany to take up land in Carson Val
| ley-is mere bosh. The two have
no connection whatever and there is
ample proof of record that General
jones has but 200 acres Of land in
Carson Valley. located in September
1887, before Mr.. Newlands dreamed
OF reservoir sites. Is it a
crime that after holding the land for
= or } years paying taxes and IN
terest he should ask some sUlt of all
advance if it ever became valuablei
The whole paragraph and the in
ferences drawn from its reading are
untrue III al particulars.
The paragraph concerning Hon. II
I'll Spriugmeyer desiring to take up
some land, when about 20O0 acres
were vacant is very queer and hard
to understand. When an applicant,
he he whom he may, applies t. pur-
chase land the township plat is laid
before him, the lands already taken
are marked plainly in red pencil and
all that are not so marked are open
! for entry. AIRY one IF most ordinary
mind can see what is open and what
taken, If 1000 acres or thereabout
were open CT vacant as st ted, what
was there to prevent Mr., Spring
meyer from taking what lie wanted
1t Is with some timldity that the
next most solemn and awful para
graph Is approached. In It We are
informed that c. "A. Witherell, o.
II. Gallup and Willis G. Clarke
reside at Carson City. Some people
would call this u cheap way of adver-
Using, but why insult the few others
who make their homes in Carson
City, 1t has been a rule Of the
State Land office and is so printed
on its receipts, that when one
changes his p @, address, the office
should be notified, and from present
appearances, this office Will be pre-
pared to receive such notices from
two of the above named parties by
the close of the year
"A complete history Of our State
Land office and its attendant cir
cumstances would make book" so
says the News. True enough, it
would make a b ok and if in that
book were recorded ell the kind
acts Of the present Surveyor Ger.
eral, all the acton he has taken to
protect tuc homes of the smaller set
! tier, at least it would be read with
extreme pleasure and friendly feel
ing towards the man who stood be
tween them and wrong, while on the
other hand, it would be read with
cursings by the vultures who thrive
upon the misfoI tunes of their fellow
man.
And now one bright spot appears
among this mass of sophistry and
misrepresentation. The Surveyor
General has on file a good bond.
Even his revilers admit that. a gilt
edge bond, and all honor be to the
gentlemen on that band, that
with all the pressure brought to bear
and all the accusations made, not
one has t. this dat, int mAted
his intention to withdraw.
