"THOUGHT IT WAS HISTED."
A Nevada Stockman Takes 81 Ride
to the City.

An Eastern Nevada farmer, who
seldom goes further away from home
than from his house to his barn, took a
iaunt the other day to San Francisco
TO see about the beef market and, if
possible, to ascertain what was out of
joint with the ''kintry" that wheat
and silver was so far out of whack as to
part company and one go up like a
rocket, while the other is hunting bed
rock. He concluded, too, that he could
afford to take a bed in a Pullman, in
view of the better outlook under Re-
publican rule, and after shaking the
range dust off of himself he boarded a
vestibule Pullman at Winnemucca, sit
ting down by a window and looking out
on Nevada's wastes, as the train sped
along toward the setting sun. He want
ed to relieve himself of a mouthful of
tobacco juice that he was loaded with,
and let drive at the window, which he
supposed vas open, but wasn't. When
he saw what he had done he simply
said, Gosh, | thought it was histed, .
and settled back in his cushioned pal
lace with the air OF a man who vas
perfectly satisfied with Mckinley and

How to make the best and most OF

grand problem that confronts Califor-

accounts Of parties that are being made

in far off Alaska. They will necessari'
ly come this way and here they ought
to be induced to stay. They should

helped on their journey. AT worst,
they would make wages during the
winter, and they will gain that expert.
ence so necessary to them if they must
go further, and, perhaps fare worse.
The large finds made in Trinity county
during the last few months can not
have too much said about them. They
are real, substantial, and will bear
examination and inspection. All the
news from Dyea and Skaguay is al
ready appalling, and will become more

will be in order, in all probability, to
organize relief parties to bring the
stranded men back. With food, mon

succored or they will die by the whole
If we but take advantage of the
mining fever nov raging about us,
California win soon fall upon more
prosperous days than she has ever yet
known. She is now sufficiently built
up to make the most Of her mines and
all that is hers.

EUREKA, Cal. Sept. 81. A. Rails
ton n of the three passengers who
came down from Dawson City via St.
Michaels, per the steamer National
City. making the trip in the fast time
of % days, gives a good description of
the existing conditions in the Klondyke
mining region. He says:
Il left San Francisco on the first trip
of the Excelsior this spring and on ar
rival at the mines began hunting for a
location, finally locating a claim on
French Gulch. What there is in il l

ter and work it. as provisions r too
scarce in Dawson to take any chances
OF an existence until spring rolls around
and the necessaries OF life can be trans
ported into the mines. 1t IS 4 shame,
almost a crime. the manner in which
provisions have been taken to the mines.
There Is whisky. beer and al other
kinds of liquor in profusion. which have

for the winter. 81 I concluded the best
thing | could do vas to get back to civ
ilization where could get enough to

a tendency to lessen the output of the
mines, as the miners cannot work with
Il food.
From what have seen | should
judge that we're the miners sup
piled with food they would this winter
take u about fifty tons Of gold. but
under the present conditions there's no
telling how much will be taken out.
As to the richness Of the country, there
is no doubt. y. rough estimate based
on what has already baen taken out,
would place the output Of thc mines al
ready located at SO, 600, 600. Some of
the claims on FL Dorado Creek are good

to the discoveries on Stewart River,
there have been rumors of rich strikes

PROSPERITY FOR RENO.

DR.. Patterson estimates that the
sale of products by Reno owners this
season at $3.50, 900 and cattle deals at
$3.50, 600. Both estimates, he says,
are well within the facts and he be-
lieyes the former should read $3.50, 900.
After itemizing the doctor says in the
Gazette:
Il have given figures representing
only profits in the case of Evans Bros,
as they did not grow the cattle sold.
Their case is, therefore, a little differ
ent from the others where the gross
sales are referred to. 1t is different to
this, too, that they are almost the on
ly ones who did not assist by their vot-
ing in bringing in the prosperity they
are now enjoying in common with
those who did. They being men of
sense are naturally Republicans, on
this occasion Alvaro had been sick
and Newt was seeking office. 1t only

The Elko Independent says: The
report comes from Loyelock that the
wheat crop in that valley is the hesv-
lest aver produced there, some Of the
land yielding as high as 67 bushels TO
an acre. Those who knew Mr.. liy
Stoker SO well and fayorably during
his long residence in Elko county will
be gratifed to know that he is decid-
ly ION top OF the heap, this year.
Mr.. Stoker has somewhere in the
neighborhood OF 800 acres under cult
walton, and his yield was the heaviest
in the county. It is safe to estimate
that he will. harvest s35, 900 worth of
grain. Mr.. James Stauts, also a for
mel resident of Elko county and now
living in the Loyelock valley, is anoth-
er Of the fortunate ones.

The Silver issue is a principle. 1t
means the organization of the many

volt of the masses against their self ap-

dollar-the measure of value-ought
not, by right, to increase. 1t may be
that the silver issue is dead. 1t NAV
be that the issue will disappear, to
come again in another guise. But it
does not now appear that this is likely
to occur. But if it should, there will re-

the cause of silver represents today in
