been erected at a cost of probably
$4,000 for the purpose of thoroughly
prospecting the mine and testing the
milling qualities of the ore. There
are immense bodies of good ore al

the water level, but what quantities
and values may be found below the
water level is still a matter of con-
lecture. The faith Of Mr.. Bliss and
his principal, Mr.. Lane, in the mag

The Elko-Gold Creek Mail.


In the last issue OF the Gold Creek
News Editor Sain roasts Postmaster
Sherwood for the failure of the PEG.
pie along the Eiko-Gold Creek mail
route to receive their mail. We have
investigated the matter and find that
Mr.. Sain's charges against Mr.. Sher-
wood are not founded in fact and
that the Elko Postmaster has acted
strictly in accordance with the law
governing such matters.
So far as the special Gold Greek
carrier who arrived at Gold Creek
with an empty sack ID concerned Mr..
Sherwood says the carrier remained
up all night and did net call for the
mail nett morning.
Mr.. p. Il. Wore Is now carrying the
mail and will continue to do so as
long as he is paid $50 trip. Mr..
Sherwood is using every means in his
power to give the people along this
route n regular mail service and does
not deserve the censure of MIR. Sam

An Attefn pied HoId-up.

Monday evening about half past
five as Mr.. w. T. Crane had Just pas
sed Mr.. French's place opposite the
court house on his way TO MIR. Over
mans for supper he was accosted by
an unknown man who commanded
him to @hold up" Mr.. Crane was
five or six feet from the fellow, but
kept on and when within abont two
feet OF him he was again commanded
to "hold up" Mr.. Craue didn't do a
thing to the footpad at the second
command but welt him two or three
times with his cane. This was a lit
tie more than he bargained for and
crouchng down to avoid further pnn-
ishment he SUNK off in the darkness
and Mr.. Crane went on to his sup
per.
1t was quite dark at the time and
Mr.. Crane was unable to see the man
so as to be able to recognize him. He
thinks, however, that he saw the man
standing around yesterday where he
was selling apples. Had the fellow
succeeded he would have got but
little money as Mr.. Crane had but a
dollar or two in his pocket.

RELIEF SADLY NEEDED.

The General Assembly Will meet
next month, and the question now is.
will they do anything to relieve the
present oppressive conditions: The
produce Of the people is scarcely
bringing the cost OF production, and
yet the taxes are even higher than
they were when the products of the
farmers were bringing twice as much.
Something must be done to tighten
the burdens OF the people, who are
patient and have stood the oppression
as only patriotic people can, but
there is point where patience ceases
to be q virtue, and when that is
reached something will drop. How
can people pay such heavy taxes at
the present prices OF cotton? This
question must be solved by our law
makers or q complete revolution in
our government will take place. No
government can stand with a condi-
ton of discomfort existing. The peo-
pie must be satisfied, and if those in
charge Of affairs are not equal to the
emergency, others will have to be
found. Let our lawmakers when
they get to Columbia, put all other
aside and work for the sole
object Of reducing the taxes. We see
no necessity OF having prolonged
session-there is none. The Dispen-
sary law, the re-districting bill, the
"yaller dog" and "cooter" laws can be
with for the present: and
only such things taken in as will
directly be felt by all of the people.
If the Legislators will only take
into consideration matters which
affect the people throughout the
State, instead Of making political
pontoors to crawl into Office upon,
the session will not last over twenty
days and at least twenty thousand
dollars III per diem will be saved to
an already burdened people who are
sroaning under the yoke Of tax op-
preston.
