DEATH FOR GOLD.
Western Miners Are flushing Into OesSh
Valley, In the Mohave Desert.

ailey, IN inc MonANe DcseTts
Once more gold has been discovered in
Death valley In the Mohavo desert. Once
mere the long, arid lcvels-breathless tree
less and lifeless--will gleam with bones Of
prospeotors and explorers. Once more wag
ons will stand In the hot, white sands,
with shining, rustless tires, until they
rack apart end drop TO pieces for want OF
moisture to hold them together.
Take down your map and draw a line
from latitude 80 TO 81 and longitude ll6
TO tis and you will have within the inclo-
sure block OF desert comprising 20, 900
square mles.
This vast inclosure is dotted with the
white bones OF dead men and old yokes of
dead oxen and the paraphernalia Of ancient
emigrant trains. No yIlture wheels above
In the bald, blue sky; no wolf or coyote
howls from the sandy ridges IL Is u sepul-
cher where silence roigns forever. The
rush has already commenced and the fiat
levels along the Mohave arc marked with
the deep wheel tracks of daring prospect
ors. This Is because 1t Is winter and in
winter the desert is comparatively kind.
Let them find gold and let them hang To
IL as long as their strength lasts. The des-
ert will dream in placid silence until sum-
mer comes. and then tho prospectors Will
die like rats In trnp, before they can get
over the high, stony ridges that surround
Death valley.
The area Of tho desert is traversed by
numerous parallel valleys running from
northwest TO southeast and bounded by
great ranges OF treeloss hills. The center
valloy of these IL tho one that bcars tho
name of Death. IL Is tho hottest on earth
and vics In many ways with the bottom
less pit. And no wonder. IL is from 100 to
300 feet below tho level of the sea.

THE BOILERS.

Yesterdays Examiner contained
some of the most interesting reading
Of the campaign up TO date. The cry
Of 'silver crank has been drowned
out In the voices of thousands of Re-
publican boilers who have repudiated
the Republican party and come out in
unmistakable language in favor Of
Bryan as President OF the United
States. II the cause is a fever, as is
claimed by many Of the gold bugs
there seems to be no cure for it, and
the fact that the contagion has in less
than sixty days, spread from Nevada
to Main, and has forced all old time
Republicans to recognize the fact
that silver is now an issue and not a
"craze."
In this State the Republican State
Central Committee has almost to the
man left the old hulk and boarded the
silver ships. Yesterday Trenmor COT
I'm, the Chairman Of the Republican
State Central Committee, left the Or
ganization, which, to say the least,
does not speak in very glowing terms
Of any trouble from that party in
Nevada.
Another declaration in favor of
Bryan is from r. S. Mecham, a Re-
publican State Committeeman, who
declares for Bryan and free silver.
The following we'll known Repub-
licans Of different states have left the
old party in the last few days and now
stand for Bryan and silver.

it Is only within a very short peri"
that the Wall street bankers hav
been forced to recognise this fact.

for the silver cause, and if the growt
continues as it has until November
the ballot boxes will have to be Ell

Since the White Pine News declared
for Bryan there is but n Mckinley
newspaper in the eastern part Of the
state-the Elko Free Press. It should
receive the earnest support Of every
McKinleyite in the section in which it
Is published, SO that it may not be
said that the publishers devotion to
principle is unappreciated. Mr..
Sproule is regarded as having a sure
cinch on the Elko p~ostofice in case Of
1cKiDley's election.
The estimable Gazette is needlessly
charmed 1t practically comedies
Bryan's election and makes a last de-
sparing appeal as follows:
The question, therefore, for the vot-
ers Of the country to decide is Lot only
whether they want Bryan for Presi-
dent, but would they like to see Alt
geld secretary of war, for instance a;
Tillman, secretary OF the treasury !:
Senator Allen, secretary Of state Sen.
ator PETER, secretary Of the interior,
and so On through the cabinet?
It is indeed too bad that the Gazette
can find nothing against Bryan or the
platform on which he was nominated
and is forced to set up q howl about
his cabinet appointments. The fact is
indisputable though the rights and
liberties Of the people would be fa1
safer in the hands OF those the Gazette
lanes than if entrusted to the tender
mercies Of Mark Hanna, John Dough
S%preckles, Chauncey Depew and Others
who would be- among the cabinet pos
sibilities in case of McKinley's cleo
