blanche Lannon'S Murderer.

SAN Francisco, May 3.-The pre-
liminary examination Of Theodore
Durrant for the murder of Blanche
Lamont was resumed this morning.
The result was damaging to the de-
PENDANT, although his counsel tried
hard to impeach the credibility of the
prosecutions witnesses. The testi-
mony was a repetition Of that given
at the inquest.
Martin Quinlan, attorney. again
positively identified Durrant as the
man he had seen with a girl resembling
Blanche Lamont going towards the
church at AGO on the afternoon Of
April 8, David Clarke corroborated
Quinlan's statement.
The ~janitor of the church discred-
tied Durrant's statement to Organist
King that he had been repairing the
gas pipes when he came down from
the tower. sick and weak. The janitor
said the gas batteries were in good
order on March 81, and there was
nothing for Durrant to fix on April 8.
Severe cross-examination only made
the witness more positive in conect-
ing Durrant with Blanche Lannon'S
murder.

Robert Hamilton, ex-convict, died
near Hamilton, this county, on the I'd
inst.-White Pine News.
Hamilton, il will be remembered by
old-time E~urekans, robbed VIM.
Evans, for whom he was working at
the time, Of several hundred dollars.
The robbery took place in the early
seventies. For this offense he served
a term in the States Prison. Shortly
after gaining his liberty, he was i'm
plicated in a stage robbery e a Eu-
reka. He was tried and convicted OF
this crime and again sentenced for a
term Of years in the Nevada Peniten'
tiary. About a month ago he was in
Eureka, and it was generally believed
by those who had conversations with
him at that time that he showed signs
of dementia. For years the supposi.
ton prevailed here that Hamilton had
the Evans money "cached" some
where in this vicinity but the prob
ability is if he hid the money at the
time Of the theft be had himself for
gotten where he planted il. He was
a harmless, inoffensive creature, and
it has been said Of him by those who
knew his character, that his hayward
| ness was due more to q weak brair
| than the love OF money.

skirt Dancing as Home.

1t is sheer nonsense to pretend that
the modern girl learns skirt dancing
out of devotion to the art. All she
wants is notoriety and to possess that
attraction in the eyes Of men which
she imagines the ballet girl possesses.
In almost every case she dances so
badly that there is no excuse for her
from the artistic point Of view, and If
skirt dancing is not artistic it is vulgar
or ridiculous or both. In either case
it is a fashion which adds nothing to
the dignity of a gentlewoman or to
her charm and is, rs a rule, an ex-
pose both of bad taste and a bad fig
ure. Beautiful women do not need
such expedients for attracting atten-
ion.-London Graphic.

The Winnemucca Silver State says
p. Crotty, an old Humboldt miner, ar
rived recently from DeLamar, Lin
coin county, where he went about two
months ago in search Of employment.
He says the campis overrun with men,
most Of whom cannot get work,
haven't a dollar and are unable to get
away. DeLamar is situated on a
desert which resembles the bed Of an
old lake, and is about 55 miles south
OF Phoebe. Water is not found in less
than 200 feet Of the surface, and the
limited supply used in running the
company's mill is secured from
springs. This lack OF water is the
greatest drawback to the camp and at
present the mill is running at only
hall its capacity. The project Of pip
ing water from the Pahranagat valley,
rs miles away is being considered, but
OF course il would necessitate the out
lay Of a large amount OF money. There
is very little money in circulation in
the camp. The men are paid off in
checks and small aluminium coins,
issued by the company, are used in
stead Of silver currency. These pieces
are stamped with their value and
generally circulated in the camp as a
medium Of exchange. Mr.. Crotty says
that taking everything into considera-
ton DeLamar is the worst mining
camp he ever saw in an experience OF
80 years on this coast.
Mr.. Crotty worked in the Paradise
Valley Company's mines when Spring
City was booming several years ago.
He says Winnemucca is the most pros
porous looking town he has been in
for several months, but recognizes the
fact that Nevada will never again be
really prosperous until silver is restored
to its rightful position as a money
metal, which, in turn, will never take
place unless a silver man is elected
President.

One OF our exchanges says that
there is an opening for some man or
company Of men to go into the busi-
nest of raising and canning peas in
Nevada. Peas do well here and enough
should be raised for home consump-
ton at least. Nevada will never be a
great State as long as she depends
upon other States to supply what she
could just as well produce at home.
We consume many tons OF canned
peas annually and they should all be
gown in the State, thus providing a
profitable crop to growers and afford
ing employment to many in picking,
hulling and canning the peas.
