Rockefeller can write few words
on a sheet of paper and make it
worth S., 000,0 that's capital. The
United States can take an ounce of
gold and stamp it with the eagle bird
and make it worth $40, that's money.
A mechanic can take material worth
So and make it into watch springs
worth 81, 900, that's skill. Our bust
ness has extended so much that it is
now the largest in this section of the
State, that's enterprise. Other mer-
chants can take an article worth so
cents and sell it for $3.50, that's
thrift. A ditch digger works ten
hours day and handles several tons

SILVER PEAK.

! i'o. DCLLEIlN. w nlle the north

IN snow, we have only been troubled
with fall in the temperature, al
though it stormed on the mountains
all around us. AS the lowest point
was seven degrees above, we suffered
no inconvenience beyond the loss of
few orange trees. However, as the
spuds are all right it wont amount to
much.
Sheriff McGregcr returned from
the Pahrump ranch Friday, and re-
ports the roads good aud the weather

only four or five men working in
Montgomery, and everything is dull
down that way.
John Shirley and Frank Riggs re-
turned from Smokey valley yester-
day with faces burned TO q blister
from the action of the snow and sun.
They report heavy fall of snow in
the valley and on the mountains with
intensely cold weather. They went
on an exploring expedition towards
the north pole, but whether they
found the pole or a paying mine
could not ascertain. saw some
quartz and horn at Shirley's, but
was not favorably impressed with
either, especially the horn.
Jack Longstreet came in from Bel
mont last night, bringing with him
Harry Ramsay and Frenchy" the
blacksmith and will leave to-day for
Montgomery. Frenchy complains of
cold-says some one came into the
corral where he slept and left the
gate open, letting in the cold air on
him.
A drummer on wheels sailed into
town few days ago and stampeded
half the Indians and their ponies.
He came in on fast stage time and
pedaled out this morning for Candle
laria. 1t seemed to be hard drive,
but he didn't show any signs of dis
tress after riding so miles over the
sand.
The mining outlook is not encour-
aging. Most of the men have been
laid off at the Silver Peak mines, and
the mills shut down. We hope they
will resume work soon, as we rely on
them to make "a good camp out of
this.
Chiatovich is still driving his tun-
mol ahead. and is rapidly nearing the
1,00O-foot mark.
Louis Leidy is getting out some
good ore from his mine.
The boys of Aida are working
away ON their leads and will have
shipments to make when the roads
open.
A few Cinnamon are working Tule
Canyon placers, and sending their
dust back to China.
A shooting scrape took place here
the details of which would soil the
paper on which they were written.
Suffice it to say that two people, male
and female, had drunken orgie and
were interrupted by a third party
when row occurred between the
men. with the result of Jesse Thayer
being bruised about the head and
shot in the shoulder. The wound is
not serious. The disgraceful scene
took place in the presence of six chill

the shooting, and no one is very in.

but little sympathy. There should

The Only COUNTY Paper.

THE AMERICAN continues to main
tain its reputation for being the only
real county paper. No other paper
begins TO give the news of Hancock
county as does THE AMERICAN; in
fact, every week it prints news from
more post offices than can be found
in all the other papers that claim
circulation in the county combined.
There is scarcely post office in the
county of Hancock that does not have
an AMERICAN correspondent, and it is
to this efficient corps that the success
and popularity of THE AMERICAN are
mainly due.
We may be pardoned If at this time
certain features of THE AMERICAN
are referred to which are wholly
wanting or feebly initiated in our
conte mporaries.

With this issue THE AMERICAN
completes its forty third volume of
fifty-two numbers each, and with the
beginning of the forty-fourth volume
we propose to change the date OF
publication from Thursday to Wed
uesday afternoon.
From the beginning the paper has
been printed on Wednesday after
noon, but has been dated Thursday
4 fiction common enough among
weekly papers a generation ago, and
intended to give the impression that
the paper was printed a day later
than was actually the fact
In these days of more rapid mail
facilities this old fiction has not only
outgrown its usefulness-if it ever had
any, but it also leads TO more or less
confusion. The phrases ''this We'd
nesday evening and this Thurs
day afternoon" have long sorely
tried the patience of our readers, and
we have at reluctantly, however,
in Difference to long established
usage-decided TO make the change.
There will be no change in the ac-
tual time of publication, which has
always been and will continue to be
