Mr.. J. p. Nesbitt, who for several
years past has been operatingi in Phoebe,
is now at the Cullen on his way to Eu-
rope. Included in his luggage is a sack
in which is contained, according TO as
says, proof Of stleast n more bonanza
the vaults Of which promise good re-
turns to ali who invest. Speaking OF
the district Mr.. Nesbitt stated that at
tention was now being largely devoted
to the gold prospects, and that there
would be a great deal Of active pros
pecting when warm weather came.
The April Fool is making a mark for
itself under the lease to Frank Wilson,
who is just nov shipping a lot Of ore
to Bullionville. The Magnolia, which
is being worked by Ferguson Brothers
x Manning, is another promising pros
pect, as is also the Flagstaff, which
latter Mr.. Nesbitt is one of the own
ers. Referring to Captain De Lamar,
the visitor says the machinery for his
mill is steadily arriving, and that it
will be ready for operation in March.
The outlook for the country around
Phoebe, says Mr.. Nesbitt, is very graf
flying, and the gold production Of 1895
promises to place the district far up in
the list Of gold producers.-Salt Lake

Killed I'm a Train Wreck.

WADswoRTH, New, Jan. 1.-THE
wreck Of passenger train No. four at
White Plains was caused by the engine
jumping the track while running at a
rapid rate. The engine and four cars
were piled across the track and
smashed, necessitating a transfer OF
the mails. Wrecking outfits and South
ern Pacific surgeons we're sent from
Wadsworth and Lovelocks. Head
brakeman Vincent La Forge was killed
and Engineer Martin Kline seriously,
if not fatally, injured. Fireman j. G..
Van Why was slightly injured. No
passengers were hurt, SO far as known.
The railroad authorities have received
information regarding the derailment
Of the train, convincing them that the
smash-up was the result OF q deliber-
ate attempt to wreck the train. An
iron rod had been placed beneath the
switch, keeping the rail out Of place
and insuring an accident.

Atthe meeting OF the Board Of Prison

VIII Make "a Change.

1t is said that Governor Budd will
soon make a change in his officers.
Ed. McCabe has been appointed his
Executive Secretary and f. L. Colnon
his Private Secretary. The original
intention OF the Governor was to ap-
point McCabe his Private Secretary,
and he will carry out his purpose. Col
non will serve in his present capacity
for the period during which the Legis-
lature is in session. He will then give
way to McCabe and receive another
appointment which will be provided
for him by the Governor. There are
those who believe that Isidor Alexan-
der will yet become Governor Budd's
Executive Secretary.--Sac. Sunday

The Reno Journal charges the Gov
ernor with an attempt to misrepresent
the States finances. We think that
brother Kelley has overlooked the fact
that the part Of the State debt which
the Governor did not allude to is the
old Territorial Indebtedness Of $780,
900 which the State assumed when IL
entered the Union about thirty years
ago. 1t is in the shape Of bonds ire
deemable and irreducible and never
intended to be paid in whole or in part.
The interest goes to the School Fund.
Leaving this out OF the account, as has
been the custom for years past, the
real State debt is as the Governor puts
II in his message.-Appeal.

The Carson Appeal says: All over
the State defeated candidates are call
ing for recounts. and in all cases
except in Carson, where the Republi-
cans are afraid OF a recount-the re-
counts have been allowed by the
courts. The ballot law needs amending
as follows: Let every ballot after it is
counted be placed on a bulletin board
in plain view Of the candidates. Let
a railing keep them about three feet
away from this bulletin. and from this
distance they could personally inspect
each ballot as fast as it is bulletined.
Let a man for each party be sworn in
to see that the ballots are not tempered
with in passing from the judges to the
bulletin board, and it is not likely that
a clerk or a Judge would attempt any
false counting or jugglery with the
ballots, as he would realize that his
counting would be reviewed by the
candidates themselves. Each candi-
date has a right to know that all the
votes cast for him are counted.

was also a frontage of 800 feet on San

This is the one State institution Of
all others which appeals to the sympa-
thies OF the entire community, and
therefore should receive the closest at
tention and most careful consideration.
At the present time there are at the
Home e~ighty-fve inmates, forty-four
boys and forty-one girls. all between
the ages OF two and seventeen years.
While q feeling Of sadness will come
over one on visiting these motherless
and fatherless children, their bright,
cheerful appearance would indicate
that they are really a very happy fam
lily. So thoroughly devoted are they
to their papa and mamma, as they call
superintendent Grimmon and his vile,
that it would seem almost cruel to de-
prive them Of their foster parents, to
whom they have become so devotedly
attached. Especially is this the case
with those who have suffered the loss
OF both real parents. Full grown men
must expect to suffer in consequence
Of political changes, and | sometimes
think that those who engage in poll
tics as a calling ought to, but If | were
to be consulted in this matter / should
certainly say spare these by making no
change in the management OF the Or
phan's Home. Such a course would,
in my judgment, best subserye the in.
terests Of the State and OF the children
as well. "-Covernor Colcord's Mess

Elsy.n rhou..na Millions.

Jim Wardner, who recently returned
from South Africa, says that while
there he spent a whole day examining
the Crown Reef mine, and that SUPER
intendent Weber assured him that he
had enough ore blocked out ito run
that 240-stamp mill $50 years, and
crush four tons a day to the stamp"
Possibly. II so, that is considerable
ore. Allowing that il runs $40 to the
ton, that foots up 54.750.000 tons Of
ore, aggregating s547, 500. 00o. Mr..
Wardner. who, since the discovery OF
Mr.. Weber and the Crown Reef. and
the tidy little block OF ore referred to,
has been visiting Colorado, says, writ
ing from Leadville: Il saw more ore
blocked out in the Little Johnny than
in the Crown Reef. The Little Johnny
will go from $50 to $400." Possibly,
also. Allowing 5000 a ton for the al
legged amount OF ore Mr.. Wardner says
he saw in the Little Johnny, then that
mine will turn out SIC, $50. 000, 000l 1t
and the Crown Reef will together pro-
duce about eleven thousand million
dollars. The entire present total Of
gold on hand in the world is about four
thousand millions. Sober considera-

conclusion that these two mines will
occasion a readjustment of existing
