Freight to go via Eureka.

1t is now authentically reported
that freight for Ely merchants will
go by way of Eureka. This change
will be seriously felt in Wells and
Toano, as nearly all the freight for
points south has been handled al
these places for many years past.
The new route is decidedly the
shortest, but whether it will prove
to be the cheapest and most salts
factory remains to be seen.
The distance from Eureka to Ely
is so miles, and from Wells to Ely
about $50 miles, but the roads are
kept in better shape and there is less
grade on this side than via Eureka.
Lumber, machinery and other heavy
goods will be freighted by way Of
Wells, as heretofore, as it would
not pay to transfer this class oi
freight onto the narrow guage carr
at Palisade. Wells Herald.

Il Is not to be denied that Nevada seems
backward by comparison with Utah and
Colorado Mr. Smythe points out that the
men made rich by the mines and railways of
Colorado spend their money where they
make i, whereas the wealth taken from the
gold aud silver deposits Of Nevada has con.
trlbuted nothing to the establishment of
her cities or 10 the redemption Of her waste
placts. One cause of this difference is, no
doubt the fact that the yuperlative attract
ions Of California are within a few hours
ride Of Virginia city. Then. again, it has
not been the pelicy of the Central Pacific
railway to develop the territory between
Utah and California. Ii ia true that Utah
has been developed without the aid Of rail

COPPER MINES.

At Camp Verdi, II miles south
east from Bunkerville, is the copper
claim which received considerable
mention last fall. The. claim was
then under bond to Lane & Hay
ward of San Francisco, who have
prosecuted work upon it with the re-
suit that the property is looking ex-
ceptionally we'll, and there is little
doubt but that it will be taken at the
bond figure of $4,000. John
Kiernan and Scott Allen are the
owners. These gentlemen are also
interested in another copper prop
erty recently opened up, situated in
Cedar Basin, south of Camp Verdi,
and which is also well spoken of.
The completest success of these
enterprises is hoped for. They will
result in other explorations and
openings, facilitate the early con
struction of a railroad and thus
bring within easy reach of capital, a
section that has long been regarded
as one of the best mining regions in
the United States.

The proposition to expend several
hundred dollars in exporting the
books of the various county officers
seems to have been abandoned. 1t
is well that it is so. An investiga-
ton of this character, extending back
but six years as we understand was
intended, would, in our opinion, be a
waste of the money paid out for the
service. The county revenues for
the period mentioned were barely
sufficient to conduct its affairs. The
money was due on claims long before
it reached the treasury and was paid
out Immediately upon receipt. There
has been no surplus to steal or make
away with, as some of those who
urged an examination appear to
think, and the worst that the most
rigid examination could reveal would
be possible distribution of more to
one fund than to another, owing to
different contructions of statues
which would result in no injury,
since it has all been pase, out for
county purposes, and such an
amount we believe, if found, would
be less than the sum expended by
the Commissioners III the examina-
ton of the books.
The amount of sporting business
carried on in mining town is said
to indicate with some certainty, the
degree of its prosperity. Times at
Delamar are dull and the fact that
for the month of April only three
gaming licenses were taken out,
where few months ago eight or
nine were issued, indicates scar
city of ready money at Lincoln
County's boss mining camp.
A last issue of the Elko Indepen-
ent says
The janitor of the courthouse is on
one of his periodical sprees again.
He was arrested and locked up this
morning for disturbing the peace.
The commissioners should give him
the grand bounce at their next meet
ing as there are sober men who
would be glad to get the job.
Paul Succetti returned from De-

vicinity for the summer.

The geographical situation at most
places on the Colorado where min

As rule the river banks on the Ari-
zona side are precipituous and high,
while on the Nevada side, washes,

frequently for Is or 20 miles pre-
dominate, furnishing better facilities
for general prospecting and the
erection of works.

The st. Louis Globe-Democrat

more than eighty or 100 persons out
of the 70,000,00 inhabitans of the
