We have read with no small degree
OF interest Col. Joseph Grandelmy.
er's letter, published in last weeks
INDEPENDENT, relating to the press
ing need of establishing mail ser.
vice between Elko and Hamilton, via.
Huntington Valley, Cold Creek and
Newark. We most heartily concur in
his view OF the matter, and believe
every person in White Pine and the
southern part OF this county, who
has given the subject just consider
alton, will be with us when we saw a
daily mail service would not only be
great convenience to us in facilitat-
ing communication with the outside
world. but tho constantly running
line OF stages would bring the busin
ess man, capitalist and prospector
into our midst, and ere long our many
resources, now lying dormant, would
begin to show signs of development.
We would thon only need free silver
to bring back our old.time prosper-
ity. Let ue have daily mail service
by all means.
In preparing our Inst communica.

mention the fact that Mr.. George II.
VarGy held religious services in the

Haying has commenced. The wild

owing TO the cool, backward spring

about up TO tho ordinary standard,
but water is very scarce and we need

partial failure.

Or. Holmes and tho Hearth-Fsnder

Dr. Holmes and the Hearth-Fender.
The Rev. DR.. Allen Tupper OF Bal
timore related recently this incident
in the life OF DIR. Oliver Wendell
Holmes:
aSome years ago DR.. Holmes was
next to literary friend at dinner
table in Boston. Tho subject OF
happiness was under discussion. Fin
ally the genial autocrat propounded
the question: What is your idea OF
happiness?' His friend made this
ready response: -Four feet on the
hearth.fender.' The answer was a
surprise TO DR. Holmes, but it made a
lasting impression on him. He re-
ferred frequently to the compreheD-
sive words of his friend, 'Four feet on
the hearth fender and would exclaim:
How much OF real Joy has been kind.
led in hearts and homes by the com.
munion Of two congenial spirits, with
four feet on the fender sitting in front
OF an open fireplace, when the lights
were low, business of the day over,
and air castles were building and
pictures were painted in the live
fire.
"Afterward this same friend visited
DR.. Holmes when death had invaded
his home. His loving wife had been
buried in the cemetery near by. To
the query, How are you now my dear
friendY the sad autocrat replied:
Only two feet on the fender!' bal.

The DO Lamar Mint.

The issuing of aluminium coin by
the De Lamar company in Lincoln
county, may prove to be Il very serious
affair to the company. Section 5,46l
OF the revised statutes OF the United
States roads ms follows:
"Every person who. except as auth.
orized by law, makes or causes to be
made, or utters or passes. or attempts
to utter or pass. any coins Of gold or
silver or other metals, or alloys of
metals, intended for the use and pur.
pose OF current money, whether in the
resemblance OF coins OF the United
States or Of foreign countries, or OF
original design, shall DO punished by
fine OF not more than three thousand
dollars, or by imprisonment, not more
than five years, or both"
This is explicit and the penalty is
sovcrc. Tho government tolerates no
devices that may be used as d substi.
tuto for coin OF the Uni.cd States;
and the De Lamar company may
have to pay for establishing private
mint in Lincoln county.
