COLONIZATION IN NEVADA.

While the Mormon Church is prepar-
ing to colonize its property in White

scheme has been Matched out in the
western part of the State and already
q party of twenty-one families of Rus
sian-Jews have left San Francisco and
are now located at their new home on
Nevada's soil, at Wellington, Lyon Co.
The tract OF land which they have pur-
chased was the property of NJ. Cohn, a
wealthy Hebrew of Carson City. 1t
consists of S, 500 acres. of which about
700 acres is under cultivation and over
1000 acres is fenced. There is a fine
orchard of some twenty acres and all
of the land is as good as can be found
in Nevada, and is supplied with an
abundance of water. The land was
sold to the colonists at IS an acre on
very easy terms, so that with reason
able intelligence and industry they
should be able to make the property
pay for itself. A good market is close
1T hand, Virginia being only twenty
two miles, and Carson forty-eight miles
distant. Grain will be the principal
crop raised at first and there are two
-four mills close by which pay as much
for wheat as car be gotten on the San
Francisco market.
II this colony is successful, it is prob
able that il will be followed by many

Proposed Division of New York.

one of the first bills that will be intro
ducea in the New York legislature When
il conVenes in Albany will be for a div
ision OF the Empire state. There viii
be an effort to pass an amendment, tC
be approved by the national govern
ment. divorcing sixteen counties from
that state, including the metropolis Of
Greater New York.
These counties from which it is in.
tended to make the new state are New
York. Kings, Queens, Richmond, Suf-
folk, Westchester, Orange. Putnam,
Columbia, Duchess, Ulster, Green,
Rockland, Albany, Rensselaer, and part
of Schoharie, The population of these
sixteen counties is estimated at 1908,
23O, and that of the remaining forty
four counties at 2, 531, 123. This would
leave the new state of Manhattan Sec
ond in population in the United States,
that of Pennsylvania alone exceeding
it. The old state of New York would
still rank sixth in population, being ex-
ceeded by Pennsylvania, Manhattan,
Illinois, Ohio and Missouri.
The area of Manhattan would be 1850
square miles. 1t will be nearer the size
of New Jersey than any other state in
the Union, almost twice the size of Con-
necticut, four times that of the state of
Delaware, a little less than the size of
Massachusetts,. and over six times the
area of Rhode Island.
The portion left of the Empire state
after cutting off Manhattan would have
an area of Il, 400 square miles.
The new,State would be largely Demo-
cratic and practically under political
control of the Tammany organization.
As it would leave New York surely Re-
publican, the power which that State
at present exercises in national politics
would be largely decreased. IL is more
than likely that Platt, who controls
the legislature, will consent to the di-
vision, as his career as a boss is doomed
in the present state of New York. BY
cutting Tammany off he might regain
his lost prestige.-Ex.

The announcement is made by some
Of the papers in the western part of the
State that Hon. A. c. Cleveland will be
u candidate for United States Senator
next year. If this is true, as we hope
it is, the people of Nevada will be given
u chance next fall to declare whether
they wish to be represented by Neva-
dams or by fossilized statesmen ~ from
down below Mr.. Cleveland is a
mar of intelligence, a~cuteness, energy
and practical experience in public af-
fairs of which few men in this State can
boast. He is an ardent supporter OF
Free Silver as was shown by his action
in withdrawing from the St. Louis con
vention last year when he saw that
there was no hope of getting favorable
action on the silver question by the
Republican party. Mr.. Cleveland is
and has been for many years a resident
Of White Pine county where he has a
model ranch and large agricultural and
mining interests. He is a mar respect
ed by all and should he enter the pol
ltical arena next year we bespeak for
him the unanimous support of his coun'
ty and believe that he would make a
strong run in the state in spite of the
pull possessed by the other side.

The Grand Jury Failed to Indict
chas. Jones' SLAYER.

The examination of Julian Guinan,
the lad who shot and killed U. S. Dist.
Atty Chas. A. Jones last week, was be-
gun in the Justices court at Carson on
Monday. Nothing particularly new
was developed, The defense offered in
evidence a letter supposed to have been
written by Jones to Miss Guinan under
an assumed name, arranging for a clan
destine Meeting with her at midnight
Of the day that he was shot: but the
letter was thrown out because it bore
no signature. The point was also made
that the boy shot off-hand and did not
rest his rifle on the window-sil as was
at first reported. Julian Guinan him
self testified that he warned the couple
of his fathers approach before getting
his rife. He had Jones covered for s
or 10 seconds before the latter made the
move that cost him his life.
The preliminary examination was ad-
journed Monday evening until Tuesday
afternoon. In the meantime, the Grand
Jury took up the cast and at 3 o'clock
reported that they had ignored the
charge. Judge Mack Immediately de-
clared the prisoner free and he was at
NICE restored to the arms of his parents.
OF course the matter can be taken up
by a subsequent Grand Jury. but it is
not probable.
Criticism Of tho Grand Jury has been
pretty freely expressed by many of the
papers in the western part of the State,
but the sympathy of the public in Car
son has been with the Guinan family
from the first and we feel that those
who We're practically on the scene and
who We're acquainted with all the par

the best judges. Human life can not
be held too dear, but when Il mar delib-

be ever clouded by the deed. Let Char

walton; and ranges. which produce some
of the finest beef cattle that reach the
San Francisco market. There is only
one drawback to the development Of
the agricultural interests of Nevada in
those sections remote from the railroad,
and that is the fact that the rancher Is
entirely dependent upon the local camps
for his market. The mining industry
has been so depressed throughout the
State for the past ten or fifteen years
that there has been little to induce set-
tiers to come in and make their homes
in a country that was apparently sink
ing deeper and deeper into the slough
of despond. Conditions. however, are
beginning to change; the continued de-
preston in the price of silver has slim
ulated the prospecting for gold with
the result that many new camps are
springing up all over the State, while
old camps are being granted a new lease
of life. Add to this the possibility that
something will be done for silver within
the next few years which will again
make its extraction from the ground
a profitable industry, and no land offers
a fairer promise to the poor man who
wishes to make his home on a few acres
that he can call his own than the fertile
valleys of the sage-brush State.

Postal Savings Banks.

In his annual report Postmaster-Gen
eral Gary spoke OF postal savings banks
as follows: Many millions of dollars are
undoubtedly secreted by people who
have little or no confidence in ordinary
securities and monetary institutions or
ganized by private citizens. 1t is dead
capital, but if it's owners could be in
spired with absolute confidence in the
security of an investment it is altogeth-
err probable that the bulk of this fund
would find its way into the channels of
trade and commerce. If the Govern
ment undertook this task the service
would undoubtedly be gladly accepted
by the people. Their faith in the Gov
eminent is unbounded. Their little
savings, which separately could hardly
be put out, at interest, would amount,
in the aggregate to a sum that could be
invested to their advantage of deposit
ing with the Government instead of
wa~stefully and uselessly expanding, it
would tend to better relationship:
bringing into closer relationship the
Government and its citizens, and de-
.veloping practical and enduring pat
riotism.

Straight Goods.

This is well said and the truth:
Every year every local paper gives
from $500 to $4,000 in free lines for the
benefit of the community in which it is
located. No other agency can or will
do this. The editor, in proportion to
his means, does more for his town and
county than any other man, and in all
fairness he ought to be supported-not
solely because you may happen to like
him or admire his writings, but because
a local paper is the best investment a
community can make. 1t may not be
crowded with great thoughts but finan-
cially it is more of a benefit than both
preacher and teacher. To-day the ed
itors of local papers do more work for
less pay than any men on earth. Pat
ronize your local papers, not as charity
but as an investment. Elk.

In the last Lode the following item

In the last Lode the following item is
found in the report of the proceedings
of the District Court at Phoebe:
1.-THE next jury case was that of F. X.
Murphy Va. DeLamar's Nevada Gold
Mining Company. This case occupied
the courts time nearly all day and the
final verdict of the jury was in favor OF
the defendent for S170.27."
That this is a mistake is manifest. Ii
was the plaintiff, Nh. Murphy who got
the verdict. The suit was brought to
$3.50 balance on a fee due from
the DeLamar Company. Judge Rives
was the chief attorney for the Com
pany and made a bitter defence but
the justice of Mr.. Murphy's claim was
clearly proven in the minds of the jury
who stood 10 to 2 on the first ballot and
those 2 were employees of the Company.
1t must be hard times among the legal
fraternity when they go to fighting to
cut down one anothers legitimate fees.
Now the Company is playing the Dog
in the manger" act by appealing the
case to the Supreme Court. thus post
poning the day of settlement as long as
possible.
The above mistake was made by the

as was the case, we have the charity to
believe, two weeks ago, when it copied
