Destruction of Alpine Flowers

Without doubt the most important
discovery for some years in Eastern
Nevada, has recently been made in
Granite district, situated on the east
side of Egan raj 60, and south of
Cherry Creek. 1t has been known
for many years, that tho belt of
quartzits, extending from about eight
miles north of Cherry Greek at least
- far south ~ Robinson. carried gold;
but at no point south of Egan canyon,
has any systematic developments been
made, except at Robinson; . distance,
intervening, of about 80 miles. How
over, at different places, some desul-
tory work had been done, and in the
aggregate, several thousand Of dol
lars have been realized. Some time
since, w. u. Campbell, while
hauling wood from the foothills ada
cent to his ranch, sat to rest himself
under = cedar, and seeing some quartz
took IL home with him; after horning
it, found it carried gold, and at once
commenced developments; building a
small mill on his Greek, although
primitive in its design, he succeeded
in saving considerable geld; demon
strating the value of the Ben Hur.

some valuable water rights, to Salt

GO SLOW

The long looked for steamer Portland
has arrived at last. She did not bring
as much gold as was expected, but that
was not because there was no gold to
bring.
The really important feature of the
Pontland's arrival was the later ad-
vices concerning the conditions attend
ing the trip to the Klondfke region, and
the advice and suggestion of the men
who are familiar with them. 1t is need
less to say that the information and ad-
vice advanced confirm in the strongest
manner the warnings conveyed by The
Herald against a wild rush for the land
of gold without proper Quitting.
Thousands of men are now stalled at
Skaguay and other points on the route,
the great majority of whom will not see
Dawson City before next spring, if in
deed they ever succeed in getting a
glimpse of the promised land. If the
difficulties in the way were simply con-
fined to the obstacles encountered in
getting over the passes it would not mat
ter so much, for men with plenty of
clothing and provisions can exist COM
fortably in a country like Alaska. But
it is lamentable fact that thousands of
men are now at ST. Michaels, at Skag-
uay and at Dyea, who must starve to
death if they do not get into Dawson
City and at work within the next few
weeks, or else in some way get back to
civiliza ton.
These men with the gold fever running
riot in their veins have rushed blindly
to the new Eldorado, trusting to luck to
bring them out all right. Others might
fail, but they themselves would get there
in some way. But when thousands are in
the same boat in a country like Alaska
the great majority must suffer'the pen
atty for their shortsightedness and folly
1t is too late to warn further those who
have already started for Alaska, but The
Herald hopes that every man in Gods
country who is still tempted, will read
carefully the facts and suggestions con-
veyed in the Associated Press dispatches
printed in Sundays paper before making
"luck' their sole provision and capital
for journey to Alaska.

MONDAY, AUGUST 80, 1897.
TO BE SETTLED TONIGHT

The board of education will hold a
special meeting tonight to decide wheth-
ed the public schools shall be opened
September 13, as scheduled, or on the
9th. 1t is hardly necessary to explain
that the latter date is advocated for
the purpose of avoiding the hot weather
that prevails here in September.
The board may undoubtedly, if it
chooses, set the latter date for the open
ing day, and it is to be hoped that the
change will be made, for reasons that
have already been set forth at length in
the columns of this paper. While the
question has been thoroughly ventilated,
public opinion regarding it is practically
unanimous, and what discussion there
has been was SO onesided that only the
points of law were left to be considered.
The stipulation of the law that the
public schools must close for the school
year not later than June 80 must hold
for the present, but it should be changed, /,
so far as Southern California is con-
cerned, at the next session of the legis-
lature, SO that the usual school year
shall not be shorn of its proportions.

More Fortunes Made in Wheat

Wild rumors of immense fortunes fav-
ing been made by operators in the wheat
market are in the air. The St. Paul
guessers gave Charles A. Pillsbury the
first place on their list, with profit Of
one million dollars. Next to him comes
C. M. Harrington with 100000. F. H.
Peavy and F, L. Greenlief are credited
with over 100000 and others enumerated
as having made fortunes are c. E. Petit.
H. E. Fletcher, c. J. Martin and H. and
L. Watson.
In st. Louis they place B. S. Barnes a
winner to the extent of one-half million.
w. d. and c. F. Orthwein are down for
the same amount. Former Governor
Francis is said to have prof1ted to the
extent Of s350,O00 E. B. Whites win
nings are figured at over $200,000. John
Warren, c. H. Spencer and Congressman
S. w. Cobb are given credit for over 100,-
900 each. Many others are put at sums
near that figure, but of course each one
denies that the great advance has re-
suited in so substantial a profit to him.

Playing With Edged Tools

Those mine owners who imagine they
have scored great victory by securing
a permanent injunction of a sweeping
nature against the United Mine Work
ers of America are likely to see their
mistake after the hour Of their triumph
has passed. There is a growing public
feeling that the injunction, as weapon
to be used against labor organiza-
tions, is not to be handled carelessly
In the Pittsburg case Judge Collier
makes a temporary injunction against
the striking miners permanent, after
calling the coal strike "the wonder of
the century" because of its freedom
from violence. One naturally asks

and iron mines in the world. In South
ern Nevada are immensely rich mines Of
gold, silver, copper and lead. In Cali
fornia are extensive gold mines and
great beds of salt, borax and nitre. Along
the line of the road are many fertile val
leys The Las Vegas valley alone would
support a population Of 100000. All of
these lands would be speedily occupied
and settled upon the advent of railroad.
The scenery is varied and beautiful and
the climate so delightful and healthful
that sanitariums are likely to be estab
lished along the route.
This road would furnish the best ac-
cess to the Grand Canyon of the Colo
rado. An electric road can be built from
one of the stations on natural grade to
the banks of the Colorado river, at the
bottom Of the canyon, and branches can
be built along the terraces at various
heights above the stream, affording op
portunity for persons who are not
rugged, either on account of health, age
or sex, to visit and enjoy the most sub
lime scenery in the world without physi-
cal exhaustion. This electric road can
be operated by power generated by the
river itself at moderate cost.
A fourth factor should be mentioned
which is scarcely inferior to the other
three. A portion of the lucrative busi-
ness now being done by San Francisco
merchants along the coast of Mexico and
Central America, amounting to about
Sc, 1000 900 annually, would be diverted to
Los Angeles, and the through freight
would seek this shorter line to the east.
The easier grades would enable one
locomotive to haul twice the number of
cars now possible on the Sierra grades,
and the time saved would be an element
of the highest Importance.
If our citizens would endorse this en-
terprise with a reasonable subscription
for bonds, we have assurance that east
ern capital could be secured sufficient
to build the entire road from Salt Lake
to Los Angeles.

DID IT HAPPEN so ?

The committee on ways and means of

Of sixteen members. This is, by all odds,
the most important committee in con-

raising revenue have to come from the

tee of so much Importance all parts of

that is not the case. There is not man

states are left out of that committee,
namely: California, Oregon, Washing
ton, Nevada. Idaho. Montana, Utah, Col

lines and established offices in no less
than six of the seven census districts
of the United States. with total Of
agencies numbering over 5000. AS indi-
Gated by the transactions of this COM
pany. the facts are that the exereme
depth of depression was reached in 1894,
the upward movement manifested in
1895, and continued through the first six
months of 1896. At that period it was
arrested by the excitement of heated
presidential campaign. but the general
outcome of 1896 was still an advance
over 1895; and basing an estimate on re-
turns received to August 1st Of this year
the advance for 1897 over 1896 will be
even greater. Therefore, we may fairly
say that there has been improvement In
current business throughout the last
three years to date.

CALIFORNIA OPINION
The Silver Republicans

The Los Angeles Herald, replying to
an editorial in the Enquirer, says the Sill
yer Republicans who are soon to meet
in convention in that city, have per-
feet right to use the name. "It is not
for the Enquirer" says the Herald, ito
say whether the Silver Republicans have
the right to call themselves by that
name. If they have not, then the Ma
tional Democrats of today must find
new title" We had supposed, from the
vociferous protests heard, that the Bry-
an Democrats do object to the use Of that
name by the other wings of the party,
but if they can stand the National DEM
ocrats, the Enquirer can get along with
the Silver Republicans. But the real
point of the Enquirer's article was not
an objection to the use of the name, but
rather a protest against men calling
themselves Republicans assembling in
convention just at the time of transi-
tion, when no election is pending, to for
mulate policies and attack the old party.

THE WALKING NOT GOOD

Pasadena and Los Angeles are al
ready connected by many ties-includ-
ing those of three steam railroad
tracks and one electric road-but
their people are reaching out for boule-
wards, a compressed air railroad and a
cycleway. The walking between the
two cities is also good.-Pasadena
News.
On the contrary, the walking is very
bad. So is the driving and the bicycling.
The road is very dusty. the streets are
too narrow in many places to properly
accommodate the electric cars and at
the same time provide an adequate road
way; there are too many steam railway
crossings for comfort, and there is no
good bicycle path.
The moral, of course, is that we need
that boulevard. We need it badly, and 1t
ought to be built at once If the editor
of the News really thinks the walking Is
good he ought to take advantage of it,
instead of taking his ease in palace
electric car
