Snowsheds Burned.

A fire in the woods at what is known
rs Tunnel No. 10 on the c. p. railroad
in the Sierra Nevadas communicated
with the snowsheds yesterday afternoon
and Notwithstanding the prompt re-
Spouse of the fire trains a disastrous fire
was soon in progress. The operator, a
young lady, at Tunnel No. 13 hurriedly
wired the call for help, it being appar-
ent that the wind was hurrying the fire
onto the sheds. Her last message was
that the sheds were afire and the station
was in peril.
The fire trains responded to the alarm
without delay and the fight commenced.
At 3 o'clock p. NJ. 3, $50 feet of the
sheds were destroyed, but it was believed
that the fire was under control. At
midnight the men were still fighting fire
but the worst was " and the work of
clearing the track was in progress.
This is the worst fire the road has had
in the mountains for years, notwith-
standing the excellent fire patrol and
alarm system maintained in the sheds.

A BIG CASE.
The Rights of Sheepmen TO be
Determined.

Messrs. Wren, Wheeler, and Julian
have commenced an action in the dis
trict court of Elko county in favor of
H. c. Lrland and against J. G.. Taylor
that will attract general and widespread
attention amongst sheepmen, cattlcmen
and ranchers in Elko county and
throughout the state generally.
The action is for -, 800 damages al
legged to have been suffered by Irland in
consequence of the herding of Taylor's
sheepon Trail creek, the waters of which
it is alleged lrland appropriated for the
purpose of irrigating his ranch in 1887.
1t is alleged that the herding of the
sheep on the creek and its tributaries
has diminished the flow of the water
and polluted it 50 that it is unfit for
domestic purposes and for the watering
of lrland' : cattle and horses.
In addition to damages, Irland asks
for Il perpetual injunction restraining
Taylor from herding his sheep on the
creek and tributaries.
This suit viii settle one way or the
other the right of %sheepInen to herd
their sheep on streams of water that
have been appropriated and are owned
by ranchera. -Elko Ind.

Ex-Police-Inspector Suicides.

Ex-Inspector-Genera of the police in
the City of Mexico, Eduardo Velasquez.
who was in jail for causing the death of
Arroyo, the would be assassin of Pres.
Diaz, committed suicide last week. He
had undergone a very severe examina-
ton in court during the day and was no.
ticed to be respondent by the guards, but
no extra precautions were taken. In the
morning he was found dead in his cell
with a bullet hole in his temple. The
weapon used was a small two-barrel pis-
toll which he had pressed against the
skin so firmly that it made no noise
when discharged. How the pistol
reached the prisoner is a mystery but
a fellow prisoner is suspected. A letter
was found in the cell in which Velasquez
stated that he felt that his death was a
duty which he owed to society.

The situation in the district infected
by the yellow fever still continues
threatening. The spread Of the disease
goes on at the rate OF about ten new
cases Il day at New Orleans and about
twenty cases at Edwards, Miss. besides
Il few scattered cases in other parts of
Mississippi, Alabama and Texas. The
fatality of the disease has been but very
little reduced from that of former cpl
denies, the death rate being about 10
per cent as against IL per cent in 1878.
AT New Orleans Il panic stricken mob
set fire to the Beauregard school which
was being fitted up as temporary hos
pital. The fire department promptly
responded to the alarm, but the mob
cut the hose and it was impossible to do
anything until Il large force Of police
arrived on the scene and beat the mob
back. The annexes of the building were
consumed but the main building was
saved.

AVALANCHE At CHILKOOT PASS.
ONE LIFELOST-MANY OTHERS

YELLOW FEVER STILL THREATENING.
Elk POLICE INSPECTOR SUICIDES.
Avalanche at chiIkoot Pass.

Dispatches from the north state that
the Sheep Camp, nine miles up on the
Chilkoot pass was nearly wiped off the
face of. the earth Sept. 10, by a section
of a glacier breaking loose from the
main body and coming down the n
yon at a terrific rate for two and a half
miles. There were a large number of
men camped there at the time who when
the alarm was given, rushed to places
of safety, abandoning their tents
and outfits to be destroyed by the
avalanch of ice and water.
One man, Choynski, supposed to be
a cousin of the pugilist, was unable to
get away and chung to a tent rope. He
was dashed around by the torrent, and
when rescued was only able to tell his
name, dying shortly afterwards. A
large number were more or less serious
ly injured, but mono fatally. The loss
of supplies of the prospectors and pack
ers will reach $25, 600 and a large num-
Der of men who started out a few weeks
ago with good outfits are stranded at
the entrance to the promised land
without money or provisions.
Tents, goods and provisions of all
kinds were scattered down the canyon
for a mile in an indiscriminate manner
Geo. G.. Marks of San Francisco, who
went to Sheep Camp only a few days
before to buy the outfits of discouraged
pilgrims, had 81, 600 in Il belt under the
bed in his tent but was unable to get il
out before the torrent struck him. Al
was confusion and at least a hundred
discouraged men intend to take the
first steamer home.

In dealing with public affairs we
should be neither pessimists nor opti-
mists. In order to prove tina bimetall-
ism should be restored it is not neces-
yary TO claim that the country is in any
worse condition than it is in. Neither
should We be bIlndly optimistic and
lump at tic conclusion that we have a
grand era of prosperity before us merely
because wheat has gone up, and some
factories have resumed work. We
should look at the situation exactly as
1t IL. Wheat has risen because crops
are short in other countries. Factories
have resumed partially to replenlsh
stocks exhausted by a long period OF
idleness and partially in anticipation
of a demand which may or may not be
realized. But there is nothing in the
situation to prove that the gold stand

The following article from the Silver
state contains a suggestion for Nevada
mine owners which we think might be
followed to their profit. The improved
methods OF handling gold ores and the
rise In the price of lead are stimulating
the mining industry all over the west.
Nevada should not be behind the other
states in advertising her resources, for
upon the development Of her mineral
wealth depends her future as a State:
THE State Mining Bureau is prepar-
ing a register of mines and minerals of
California, in q concise tabulated form
for convenient reference, and with
these tables will be published topo-
graphical maps of each county, show
ing all mineral locations, mills, bitches,
etc. The maps will be in three colors,
and on the scale of two miles to the
inch. The maps and mineral tables of
the respective counties will be issued
separately and as rapidly as completed.
State M~inerologist Cooper intends send

In England, where labor %organiza-
ton. have passed beyond the stage OF
violence, ''picketing, as it is called, is
sanctioned. That is, the union, when
fighting an employer, is allowed to
station ''pickets" just outside his prem
ises, and try to induce the workmen as
they go to and from work to join the
strikers. The attempt of employers to
harass the strikers with injunctions
from the courts in carrying on such a
