THE NEW ERA.

Nevada is about TO see a New Era
TIE iact is assured by the sign Of the
times. Eastern Nevada is now in q
prosperous condition from the facr
that the De Lamar mines have pre-
dlced all that the parties interested
have expected. in Che September u
al that camp the profits 70 the mine
owners amount TO $4,000. Many peo-
pie are going 70 the camp and new
properly is being developed. Thous-
ands Of dollars have been invested,
and thousands are now coming back
TO repay the confidence placed in that
portion Of Nevada's mineral wealth.
Or the heels Of he De- Lamar success.
Southern Nevada jumped into prom
hence with the Silver Star District.
Ed Brown. the original discoverer. was
a poor man. He went into the noun
tains with little else than a pick and
shovel, and can now sign checks for a
goodly sum. The camo has produced
many thousand dollars worth Of gold
and is hardly p~rospectel as Yet.
Nye county is rushing 70 the front
with good gold claims and its QUART
and placer mines are being watched
with keen interest by capital from me
East. Pine Grove not many miles
from here is also in a fourishing con-
dirion. The Wilson Bros. who own
the property hardly miss a month
without a shipment Of $4,000. This has
been strictly a poor mans mine and
has put the owners ION velvet Bob
Logan and Col. Boyle have more than
q prospect at Como. The groupings at
that place are the largest and best de-
fined ever known, and the day is not
far distance when the whistles Of big
mining works will be echoed through
the canyons leading to the old Com
stock. Como is little further than the
Comstock and Nevada's Capital and
its benefit can BE- readily seen. The
s&le Of the Buckeye district is by far
the most important that has taken
place in Nevada in many years.
It puts men in control Of the
property that have money TO 20 ahead
With and who are practical. M. Lane
is a thorough practical man. He was
the man who brought water from
TIE Blue Lake to Angle Camp Cal. a
distance OF 20 miles, and the property
has paid from the start.
The sale has placed several OF Car
sons best citizens in comfortable cir
cumstances, and most Of the parties
who have received money from the
transaction have other mining prop
cry which can now be developed. The
sale il itself is a help 70 every man
that has a claim in this part OF the
world and the fact that Messrs. H0-
bar-, Lane and Hayward bave outbid
Chicago capital in the purchase Of
Nevada's property, will open the eyes
Of the people East Of the Rockies, to
the unpleasant fact that gold mines
are wanted as much by Western men
as Eastern parties.
There is now left for the Eastern
capital another good district which
is held by poor men and that is Pine
Nut. These mines all show the true
color and with water il can be made
just as good ground as Buckeye. Be
fore Spring parties with money will
be over the ground looking for a
chance to get in. The New Era is
here and Nevada will take its proper
place before the world once lore.

Rumora of War.

Spearfish is just now experiencing a
sensation in the way of a small sized
ministerial war, that promises to assume
alarming proportions if it keeps on at
the present rate. There are two min
listers in the town, one of whom has
been established two years, and is high.
ly esteemed by all classes, while the
other one has recently arrived from
England, and possesses decided English
views When he first came to the place
he announced that the Yankee min
lister would soon be preaching to empty
seats, which sc aroused the sentiment
among the friends o the latter that they
all began going to hear the Yankee. not
because of any particular piety, but to
tending who had not before seen the
interior of a church in years, and his
pews are crowded ut every service.
Thanksgiving came, and the Spearfsli
custom of holding union services in each
church upon alternate years was oh.
served, and it fell to the Englishman's
church this year. The program was
prepared, the E%nglishman insisting upon
reading the scripture lesson, while the
visiting minister vas to offer prayer and
deliver the address; the other ecr<e~
man suggested that it was customary
with him to read the scripture lesson
when he preached the sermon, as it
gave him something upon which to base
his thoughts. The Englishman then
said you can do all of it then, and III
go into the choir" and he kept his word,
permitting the visiting brother to oc-
cupy the rostrum alone, while he re-
manned secluded behind a screen. The
climax was approached a short ago; the
Englishman a few years ago had a
brother in Spearfish, also in the min
istry, and considerable talk was INDUCED
in over his conduct, and in abiding to
this scandal about his brother the En-
glishman expressed his belief that tie
Yankee preacher had started it, and
remarked that he would go up to his
house and ~horsewhip him if he were
positive. The Yankee was apprised of
the remark, and promptly sent back
word that he could be found at home
most any time. The horsewhipping
has not yet transpired, and as the good
humored American gentleman is a
splendid specimen of physical develop
ment, and as a Spearfshite yesterday
remarked, "a fellow who never gets
tired" any attempt at enforcing the
reckless declaration might prove a risky
Observation-Disclosures.

Supposed

The mysterious demise Of j. B. Law
renee at his home in Lead during Thurs
day night has created quite a little
gossip. He retired as was his usual
custom on Thursday evening and when
his wife awoke in the morning found
she had been sleeping with a corpse,
Mr.. Lawrence being cold and stiff. An
examination Of the premises was made
by the officers and an ounce vial, that
had contained %laudanum, was found in
the back yard. A cork that fitted the
neck of the bottle was found in a wash
basin. These things were taken pos es-
sion Of by Chief Sparks. The evening
before Mr.. Lawrence claimed to be
suffering from a toothache and asked an
Italian named Antoine Voll. who was in
the saloon, to get him some laudanum.
Voll went and got him an ounce vial of
the drug. and Lawrence departed.
Whether Lawrence was suffering from
toothache or not, is not known, but
everything SO far goes to show that he
took the contents of the wal procured
by yell, before he retired, and went to
sleep from which he never Awakened
