That Smelter Lease.

In our last issue we stated that the con.
templated lease of the Phoebe Con. NJ. &
Cos smelter, and other property in and
around Phoebe was "of'' owing to Mr.
CODES refusal to execute it, and that, too,
without giving satisfactory reasons there
for.
We have since learned that we were en-
tirely mistaken in that regard, but that ow.
ing to the state Of the weather and other
disadvantages, the gentlemen to whom the
lease was to be given had decided to proceed
no further in the matter until at least the
conditions should be more favorable.
1t need hardly be said that our ain is
never to publish any thing that is not strictly
reliable, but in the above instance we fiud
we were little ''too previous" and do not
hesitate to say so, especially in connection
with gentleman, like w. 8. Godbe, who
has been instrumental in doing so much for
this section in years past, and who may yet
do more for it in the no distant future
there being altogether too much wealth
hereabouts to remain idle and undeveloped
for any great length of time.

The Fourth Judicial District.

The Fourth Judicial district, embracing
Elko, White Pine and Lincoln counties. has
nearly doubled its work in the past two
years. Elko and Lincoln have advanced,
White Pine doing less business than it did
.aree years ago. The changed conditions
forced some action BY the Legislature re-
adjusting the amounts which each Of the
counties contribute to the Judges Salary
fund. For six years past Lincoln has been
paying only $500 year, White Pine SIT,
and EIko S2s23. This was fair enough
when the law first went into effect, but
Lincoln for the past year has had nearly as
many cases before the court as Elko, while
White Pine has had but very few.
Under the new law Liocoln changes place
with White Pine and is to pay S777, White
Pine to pay $500 and Elko remaining as
heretofore. This contribution of Lincoln is
less than the cost Of her court work will
amount to, judging from present appear.
ances.
Beginning in 1899 the salary Of the judge
Of the Fourth Judicial district will be in
creased $500 which will be divided between
White Pine and Lincoln. the former paying
$677 and the latter $1,000 year.
This increase was consented to by the
representatives OF the several counties
affected, principally to cover travelling ex.
penses, which by the law passed at the
recent session Of the Legislature, cuts OF
travelling expenses to the district judges
from the State after the year 1898.
