Immense Mining Project.

On the headwaters of the Bru-
neau about 10 miles over the line
in Nevada one of the largest min
ing enterprises recently inaugural
ed in the west has just been launch
ed. The work is being done by
the Gold Creek Mining Company,
a corporation composed of New
York capitalists. The scene of
operations is at what was formerly
known as Island mountain, 10
miles directly north of Elko.
There is a large section of country
there that has long been known to
be rich in placer gold, but the
ground could not be worked ex-
cepting during short period when
the water was running in the
stream.
This placer ground has been Sc
cured by the Gold Creek Company,
and an immense reservoir, is be-
ing built to retain the water during
the summer, force Of some 300
men having been employed this
fall. This reservoir is a natural
basin, converted to the proposed
use by throwing a dam across the
outlet. The water is to be fed
into the reservoir through a canal
1t can be turned off when the
reservoir is full thus avoiding the
danger of overflow.
The reports that have been made
to the company respecting this
ground show it to be very rich,
and those interested anticipate re.
ceiving large profits from their in
vestment. The company has, all
told, some 10, 900 acres of placer
ground and so lode claims. TIL,
management expects to be at work
sluicing with the advent of spring
During the winter development
work is to be pushed forward up
on a number of the most promis
ing lodges. Statesman.

ENORMOUS PREGLACiAl RIVER.

Gcolog.sts Tell OF Ono Which in Oldsa
Times Existed III Northern Canada.
The largest river OF any age of which
there is any evidence in the world, &C.
cording to remarkable geological dis
covery reported to the Royal society OF
Canada recently, was n great pregla-
cial river in northern Canada. DIR.
Robert Bell, who produced scientific
evidence OF the correctness of his dis
covcry, pointed out that it was genera
ly admitted by gcologists that the con
tinent of North America Immediately
before the glacial period stood at q
much higher elevation than at the
present time, amounting to, perhaps,
between two and three thousand feet.
The inevita bic result Of this must have
been to change the river systems from
what they now arc, and to create in
the north n gigantic river draining an
area of over onc-third of the entire con.
tinent of North America, and forming
. drainage basin seven times Us large
rs that of the St. Lawrence.
The central portion of the great river
was in the middle of what is now Hud-
son bay, as proved by the existing de-
pressions of land in the north of Can
ada and the great depth of the center
Of Hudson bay. Its lower part dis
charged through what is now Hudson
straits into Davis straits. 1t is also
maintained that the upper half of the
St. Lawrence basin, both in preglacial
times and also at a later geological pc.
riod, discharged its waters northward
by way Of what is now Hudson bay. 1t
Is asserted that this constituted one OF
the main branches of this great north.
ern river. Other large branches were
the present Saskatchewan, the Nelson
river, which rises north Of the Rocky
mountains, the Churchill, largely aug
mented by the reversal Of some of the
upper rivers Of the Mackenzie basin
and great tributary streams that came
down the present Churchill inlet, Foz
chnnnel and Jngava bay, any one Of
which must have fully equaled in sizs
the Mississippi of our own dav.

Mining or General Partnership.

Mining or General Partnership.
In every partnership the parties
associating themselves together
contribute funds and share losses
and profits. One partner may
make his contribution in money,
and another may make it in labor,
or in furnishing the mining premi-
SEES to the partnership. One may
bear the loss of the money that he
put in; another may bear the loss
of his time and labor which he
contributes, but we cannot mag
inc Il mining partnership in which
the parties do not share the profits
and losses. Certainly, no one will
enter IL mining partnership with an
agreement that he shall pay the
losses, nor with the agreement
that his partner shall receive all
the profits. Tho distinction be-
tween u general or trading part
nership and nOn-trading partner
ship is recognized not only in the
mining states where mining part
nerships are frequent, but in other
jurisdictions where non-trading
partnerships other than mining
ones are of frequent occurrence.
Many of the rules of general part
nership obtain in mining partner
ships, but the latter have other
rules peculiar to themselves. Some
of the great distinctions between a
general and a mining partnership
are the questions of the delectus
persOnarum, and the authority of
one partner to bind the firm by the
issuance of commercial paper. In
the case of an ordinary mining
partnership something more will
be required to raise the presump-
ton of liability arising from per-
) sons holding themselves out to the
world aa partners than would be
necessary in the case Of an ordi-
nary partnership. Such persons,
in the absence of other circum.
stances, cannot fairly be presumed
to have intended to render them
selves liable to all the consequent
COS of a commercial partnership
Mining partnerships, as distinc
associations, with different rights
and liabilities attaching to theil
members from those attaching t.
the members of ordinary tradin.
;. partnerships, exist in all mining
communities. Indeed, withou
them successful mining would b.
attended with difficulties and EN-
barrassments much greater thai

A GRAND TINE,
Which is Only Intended as a Prelude
to the One We Will and Can
Have if Bryan is
Successful,
A GRAND TINE,

1t was given out few days ago
that the Bryan and SeWaI clubs,
Of the two Texarkauas, would have
a Democratic rally, torch light pro-
cession and speaking, on Broad and
State Line Avenue on Monday, aud
| yesterday the business portion of
our city was decorated with flags
and Chinese lanterns, and as soon
as night fall set set in, flaming
torches could be seen darting hith-
er and thither, held by galloping
horsemen and men aud boys on
foot. By 7:3O the column was start
ed from the East Side city hall,
headed by a platoon of city mar
shals and constabes, with 4 dra-
goon company behind
The procession was about mile
long, and such Yelling and blowing
of tin horns we never heard before.
The principal streets were marched
through, and after an hour had
been consumed by the procession in
the circuit of march, they came
back on Broad street, from State,
and filed about the speakers stand
on State Line Avenue.
Colonel Jake Hodges, of Paris,
Texas, was introduced, and al
though Mr.. Hodges has made some
telling speeches in his time, his eff
fort last night was pronounced by
all as one of the best speeches ever
delivered. He was frequently in
terrupted by outbursts of applause,
and Bryan could not have drawn
the crowd out to do any more cheer,
ing than did Col. Hodges He
held the Republicanso Texas up for
the voters to look at. Showed
where they were making cam
palgn in Texas on Doodle and lying
and trading with hungry horde OF
Populists, who were selling their
principles for the sake of small
county offices. He walIoped James
Fl. Daves-hung his skin on the
Democratic fence to dry, and threw
his carcas over in the Republican
back ally to rot and stink in the
nostrils of all decent men who
should pass.
Hon. Paul Jones was next intro
duced. "He made the best speech
of his life, " is the verdict Of all who
have heard him, time and again on
the stump, and in the court house,
When he was arraigning the ras-
Gals the perspiration rolled from
his brow, and he put his whole soul
in the work of eXcoriating them.
He received many compliments
from the people after he had finish
ed.
Hon. j. M. Talbot, candidate for
District Judge, and Hon. r. D.,
Hart, candidate for Prosecuting
Attorney, each made speeches, and
both acquitted themselves admira-
bly,.
The speeches were all vote max
ers, and will help to poll larger
vote for pure Democracy today
than would have possibly have been
done had not the speeches been
made.
The rally was a success in every
particular, and was witnessed by
5000 or more people, who were en-
thusiastic cheerers for William Jen.

SCENERY OF GUIANA.
1t IL More Enchanting Than tho Imagi-
nation Can Picture.


Whatever discomforts the traveller
nay have to undergo in journeyina
through Guiana, he is compensated fol-
them by the scenery, which is more Ell.
chanting than the ioftiest fight of the
imagination can picture. As soon as
you leave the low swamps at the great
mouth of the Orinoco, the land rises
gradually toward the Imataca range
the peaks of which are clearly outlined
against the clear tropic sky. Still
farther into the interior, following the
windings of the Rio Cuyuni, the green
banks of which are bright with scarlet
passion-howers, you see more noun
tain peaks, and innumerable cascades
and waterfalls tumbling and roaring
over rocks that raise their black heads
above the surface of the water. On al
sides countless parasites entwine them
selves in the most intricate and fantas
tic fashion around the branches of the
lofty trees.
IL was my good fortune to reach one
of the loftieSt of the lmataca peaks just
mt sunset, the hour that most impresses
all travellers. TO the south and east, as
far as the eye could reach, the scene was
one of indescribable beauty and grand
eur. Below, the great Cuyuni, un.
known to the world for so many gener'
ations, but now with name in history
wound in and out of the green valley
IKE a serpent of thousand colors. The
soft rays of the afternoon sun, glimmer.
ing through the mist of waters, fell
upon the river in showers of rubies
sapphires and diamonds. Soon darkness
closed upont the valley for in the tropics
the twilight is as brief as it is entranc.
ing; and on ali sides the tiny camp
fires of the Indians tYinlSled like
myriads of frehies. Now and then the
stiffness was broken by the night cry
of some wild animal in the distant
iungle.-W. Nephew King, in Century

SAUCES FOR TOBACCO.

people of various occupations. Miners,
for instance, want very strong to-

another class would not relish. Out

IT is not true that cigarettes are
commonly charged with opium and
other injurious drugs. However, they
are favored with essences of various
plants, such as vanilla, stramonium
