MIDWINTER FAIR LETTER.
San Francisco April 20, 1894.

Odll II IduCAoCO ApIAL ~, AOOF.
The long looked for Mardi Gras
celebration is now thing of the past,
and bowling success it was.
The native Sons of the Golden West
attended the celebration at the Fair
grounds, and swelled the number to
fully 10000.
The Fair is improving daily and the
weather is perfect.
The city is full of eastern tourists
who are profuse in their praises of our
climate. There are great many
Nevadans here but few if any from
White Pine Co.,
am pleased to know that at last
ways and means have been found to
pay for the Nevada Building. But
this is not sufficient. It takes money
to carry on the good work. There
are number of men employed to
look after the exhibit, to keep it in
good trim and this cannot be done
without funds.
Nevada day has been postponed
until May 10Th and cannot be celebrat-
ed in fit manner unless contributions
begin to pour in.
So Mr.. EDITOR just shake your peo-
pie up, and see that every voter in
White Pine County comes to the front
and donates at least days work. See
Jake Schellenberger. know he has
no money but am positive he will
give load of hay. See all the boys
and give them all chance to put up
what they can. We ought to make
Nevada day the finest celebration
given at the Fair, and to accomplish
this coin must be forthcoming.
SILVER.

Sornson (better known as Shorty, }
who lived in Cherry Creek some tif-
teen years ago. Shorty will be re-
membered by all old Cherry Greek
people as kind and jovial fellow and
all will be sorry to hear of his death.
Every letter received from old resi-
dents of Cherry Greek congratulates
the people here on the success of the
late cake walk dance.
B. F. Miller, Sheriff Payne, and

Miller, goes to Wells to make arrange
ments for running the stage line from
Wells to Ely, hope Ben will be sue
cessful in his new enterprise.
Geo. F. Parker, who went to visit
the worlds fair at Chicago returned

Chinatown, which was burned down
some time ago. Charlie Wah has his
residence rebuilt and Chas. Sento has
lumber on the ground to build. Cherry
Creek is not so dead as some people
think.

FROM HAMILTON.

The Icarian Club met this week
and after discussing the subject for
some time, as to whether Physical
Culture was failure. Nab for the
negatives asked for an adjournment
for one week saying that they were
practicing racing by moonlight now
and that she was sure that they could
sproduce some evidence to support their
side of the question within week.
We noticed several stage loads of
cots going through last week and I'M
derstand they are for the drivers &C
commodation, said drivers not having
opportunity for sleep only on the wing.
Messrs Wright Kennedy and Norris
feel quite elated over their gold dis
covery in Cathedral Canyon. From
assays made they are justified in say
ing they have gold mine and al
though not in paying quantities at
present they hope by prospecting to
develope good mine.
Eugene Norris and James Kennedy
owners in the new discovery had an
alteration last week and the last seen
of Mr.. Norris he was making his way
south at a 2:1O gait reporting that he
had received a side winder from Mr..
Kennedy.
Spring fights are as much to be an
ticipated as April showers, and upon
this occasion they were not confined to
the male portion of the community.

Esmeralda,s New cold Camp.

Enterprise: The new camp called
Douglas, after VIM. Douglass Of
Soda, Esmeralda county, is promis-
ing great things in the way of rich ore
production. The camp is about eight
miles west of Soda; it's ore is gold,
and good deal of it to the ton of
average rock. About forty men are
at work there, and some of them are
confident that they will yet have there
the biggest camp Esmeralda county
has ever had.
One ledge five feet wide has been
uncovered that shows plenty of 5000
rock; another four feet wide shows
up big body of $40 ore, and still
another fve-foot ledge that assays
$40 per ton. What is termed the
"waste rock assays 800 per ton.

The Chinese hereabout are getting
move on them and have suddenly
concluded to register. Some are
going to Osceola and others to Eureka
to have their photographs taken.
In the last issue of the NEWS an
item appeared to the effect that Judge
Fitzgerald would open Court in Ely
on May 10th, which was an inexcus-
able error. Tuesday, May 9th, is the
day fixed upon by Judge Fitzgerald.
VIM. McCawley, who has been a
county charge for some time past, was
Brought over from Osceola Tuesday
and left at Riepe's hotel, where he
will be cared for at the county's ex-
pense. He is afflicted with palsy
and partial paralysis of both legs.
The law providing for the election
of school trustees in May is too dead
to be allowed to remain in the stat
utes of Nevada. But few attempts
have been made to elect under the
law in this county. The County
Superintendent has had to appoint
trustees in almost every district
1t is only of late years that rheu-
matism has been treated as blood
disease. But that this is a correct
theory is proved by the extraordina-
ry success attending the use of Ayre's
Sarsaparilla, in this painful and very
prevalent malady. 1t seldom fails of
radical cure.
d. H. jackson returned from Fer
guson district Thursday and brought
the first news of the sale of the Mon
itor and other mines to DeLamar
for $455, 900. All claimants to the
mines agreed to the sale and where
there are rival claimants suits will be
instituted for the proportion money
claimed. Mine owners would do well
to take advantage of this precedent
in future. Mr.. Jackson lost valua-
horse belonging to Sol. Hip on his
trip to Phoebe, the animal dying with
in half an hour after reaching that
place.
From Thos. Fl. Sillyman, of Tay-
lor, who was in Ely Saturday last,
we learn that J. G. Benson, Charley
Peck and Calvin Warlick have taken
up forty acres of land adjoining
Bakers ranch in Snake valley where
they purpose passing their declining
years. All are making arrangements
to get out of Taylor except Franl
Wayne, who will probably remain
and hold the town down. Taylor

A Thin SPACE.

The testimony in the Breckenridge
Pollard case was concluded Friday.
Nothing of importance developed in
the later testimony, both the plaintiff
and the defendant reappearlng briefly
for little more dramatic assertion
and emphatic denial. The trial has
been in progress over four weeks.
Argument to the jury began yesterday.
There will be two speeches on each
side, and the case will probably 60 to
the jury by Wednesday night. The
report that Col. Breckenridge would
address the jury is denied.

The remains of Mr.. James Harvey
Jones were brought from his late
home, near Platte City, Mo-, to Mt.
Sterling, on Sunday morning, and
given sepulchre in the county of mis-
birth and home of his youth and
earlier manhood. Many friends came
to tender to the wife and son their
heartfelt sympathy in their sad home
coming, and to unite with them in the
last sorrowful rites in giving back to
mother earth the form of their loved
one. James Harvey Jones was brave,
generous, open hearted and open
handed to a fault. His comrades,
among the surviving ex-Confed-
crates, remember how he bore
himself in camp and in battle. 1t was
by the hands of these same comrades
that his body was borne to its last rest
ing place. just as he would>have wish
ed, could he have dictated in the mat
Ter. Though nearly 80 years have
passed since the hosts that followed
the Southern Cross saw that flag go
down in defeat, many tear coursed
down the bronzed and wrinkled cheeks
of those who had stood shoulder to
shoulder with him in the times and
places that tried mems souls, as they
saw all that was mortal of James Har-
vey Jones committed to the grave.
Mr. Jones was 81 years of age at the
time ofhis death. He married Miss
Fannie Ragan, daughter of the late
VIM. Raglan, of this county, and to
them was born daughter, who died
in infancy and son who is grown to
manhood, and who married daugh-
ter of Marion Oldham, formerly of
this county, now living in Missouri.
The trouble that led to Mr.. Jones'
death originated over note that had
been endorsed by Mr.. Jones for a son
of Marion Oldham and partner OF
his (Oldham's) and about which Mr..
Jones thought he had reason to be-
ieve there was some crookedness. On
the day of his death, Mr.. Jones had
been to the county seat to procure an
indictment against the parties,
On Thursday afternoon april
81 he had come home with his wife
from the county seat, and walked out
on his place where his hands were at
work. Seeing the Oldhams-father
and son-in the next field he walked
over to them. What followed, no one
knows but the two Oldhams, since
the talk was not loud enough to be
heard by negroes working in field
on one side or by Zollie Jones who
was working in field on the other
side. Although the parties were in
sight, no one seems to have seen the
immediate beginning of the shooting.
Young Oldham was shot in the arm
by Mr., Jones. Mr.. Jones himself W as
shot four times, by the older Oldham,
dying in few minutes, 1t is fact
worthy of mention that up to the
hour of the difficulty there had not
been an angry word between Jones and
the Oldhams. Mr.. Jones seemingly
blamed young Oldham's partner for
the trouble over the,note. 1t is one of
those deplorable family tragedies that
come up now and then, and cannot be
satisfactorily accounted for. Mr..
Jones was brother of Mr.. Henry L..
Jones of this county, and was connect
ed with some of tue best families in
the county. Mr.. Oldham is also a
native of this county. and is related to
many of our very best people.
