The Coal Supply.

The few damp, cold days that have just
pas sed, remind one that the season Is near
at hand when stoves are to be set up and
coal bins are to be filed. The shipment Of
coal into this city, at ar average Of more
than a carload a day, through the entire
year, is another drainage Of money from
Las Vegas that has well nigh run Its
course.
George W. Bell, Of the Trout Springs coal
company, said this morning that the mine,
twelve miles Out from this city, was now
in such shape as to s'turn rooms" and
that his company could easily supply all
the soft coal this city could consume.
Until tracks, elevators, %sifters, etc., could
be put in, it would be impossible to furnish
coal at greatly reduced prices from what
are usually made here, but every dollar
will remain here.
The quality of coal Is not as good as Ger
rillos coal, but better thar that which
comes from Blossburg. Samples of it will
soon be distributed about the city and q
more complete report as to quality will
then be made.

able to pay 100 cents on the dollar to all
creditors, even il the stock is sold at q
great sacrifice. The credit of the firm has
always been A l in financial circles, and
there will no doubt be general regret that
thiss step should become necessary.

U. s. Surveyor Generals Office.

Oar reporter had occasion to visit the surveyor ge1erai's office where he found the office force consisting of the survey or general, h,s chief clerk, and assistant t clerk, chief draughtsmau, chief miuerai clerk, and three assistants, busily en- gagged, the general himself being ln his shIrt sleeves working st the draughting board
 When asked relative to the amount of work Tn the ofiice the general replied that beside the regular contract work on public land surveys, there WAS now ID the office larger amount of mineral work than ever before. this being caused by the recent rush of mineral claimants to have their claims surveyed and application for patent initiated in the land office before the end of the year. He stated that there were now 94 claims filed and to be worked up, entailing besides examination and the clerical work on the notes, the preparation of about 100 plsts. The general said that he had just received authority from the civil service commiesion to employ the three extra and temporary drsughtsmen
 nd that he had made application for permission to employ two additional clerks; that ell of the mineral work now in the office would be plated, trans cribed and transmitted to the claimants by the middle of December. The General said that for rapiditv, accuracy and good work he would back his force of clerks and draughtsmen against any number of the same class in the United States service. The Geueral himself has spent, as drsugbtsmsn, chief clerk, and surveyor general, ten years in the surveyor generals office, serving eix years as draughtsmsn under Hon. John Wasson. and three years ss chief clerk under Hon. l.. H. Manning. As draughtsman, chiof clerk, or surveyor general the CITIZEN will back General RoskrUge for money. chalk or marbles, againet any ether surveyor general i7 the world.

Causes of Nervousness,

The maladies which above all others cause nervousness, are dyspepsia, biliousness and constipation. The great sympathetic nerve which connects the epigastric region with the brain, is Rl- ways iniuriously affected if the stomach and bowels are disordered; permanent derangemept of the functions of those organs reacts by sympathy upon the en- tire nervous system. Hostetter's Stom- ach Bitters, in restoring tone and re- gularity to the digestive apparatus, and overcoming constipation, permanently remedy the nervous complaints which originate in alimentary weakness or dis turhapces. They are the very best nervine that can be used. By ersdicat- ing the exciting causes of nervous weak ness, they permanently overcome the disability itself. But this is not all. By checking the msladies which cause they build up anew the system weakened and depleted by ner- voue disease,

 He could hardly keep anything on his stomach. What stayed wasn't pro- perly digested and gave him terrible psngs.
 This is not an un commoncase. Dyspep tics don't get enough nourishmeut They are generally thin and weak.
 They may eet enough. but they don't digest enough. Much of what they eat turns into poison. If tins keeps on there's DO telling what disease they may get next.
