FROM ALL OVER the STATE.
SUMMARY OF THE News 5
AS GATHERED FROM OUR BX-
CHANGES.

The Southern Pacific Company ship
ped in November this year LII. 700
pounds of hay from Nevada as against
81, 800 in November. 1896.
In the mint appropriation at Carson
City, Nevada, reduction is made from
s32, 300 to S15, 900 and at New Orleans
from 1881, $50 to $25, 900. These two
mints are TO be hereafter conducted as
assay offices.
The Delamar Lode states that the
main ore body has been struck on the
1900 foot level in the Delamar mine and
that the ore now being run through
the mill comes from that level. The
present capacity of the mill is about
5000 tons.
The Delamar Lode announces the
wedding OF VIM Ferguson and Miss
Halle Sharp OF the Phoenix restaurant
on Nov. Both, last. The parties are
both from tiiko and stole a march on
their friends who did not know of the
event until several days after it hap
pened.
The Carson News denies the story
printed by the Yerington Rustler that
the Jewish colonists in Smith valley
are in trouble over titles, aud says the
colonists are in full possession Of their
land and all the dwellings, thereon.
They are delighted with both the land
and the climate rs they have found il,
and nothing has occurred to cause them
the slightest regret for casting thell.
lot with the people Of Nevada.
The Free Press says last week the
Central Pacific railroad company paid
into the several counties, through which
it runs in Nevada. the following
amount for taxes for the year 1897:

WORK AT THE ROBUST.
Mill Site Selecte

The work at the Robust has been
progressing steadily this week, with
the result that road has been COM
pleted up the canyon to the mine.
This was quite task, as 1t was neces-
sary to blast it out of the solid rock for
distance of about 40 feet. The loca-
tion of the mill has been chosen and
the site secured on the Dauntless ground
at the foot of the canyon near the log
cabin on the north side of the road
about two-thirds of the distance from
Ely to Lane City. The work of grad
ing the mill site has begun and the
foundations will be laid as soon as the
rock can be secured from the quarry.
Besides the mill, there will be shaft
house, blacksmith shop and possibly
an assay Office.
In company with Richard Riepe, one
of the owners, we visited the mine last
Tuesday and were shown the workings
by Mr.. l. H. Chase who has the prop
erty bonded and whom we have found
to be courteous and obliging gentle
man and thorough business man.
The shaft has heen sunk on the ledge a
distance OF 10 feet. About 10 feet from
thu bottom the ledge was lost and the
bottom of the shaft was cut through
barren limestone. Last week Mr..
Chase put in few shots on the east
side OF the shaft, where he thought the
ledge was located, and soon laid bare
the ore again, looking better than
ever. After taking out about II tons
of the ore in few hours with only one
helper, he felt confirmed in his opinion
that the Robust is worthy OF at least
thorough exploration and he accord
ingly determined to give his attention
to the necessary outside work and ge'
! things under cover before severe wealth
/ or sets In.
Mr.. Riepe also took us TO see hi
rock quarry in West Camp. There III
owns so acres of land which covers thu
only deposit of building stone to b.
found within many miles of Ely. 1t il
a white sandstone, we'll adapted /,
building purposes and many tons OF i
have been removed in years past. Dicl
says he had rather have it than golt
mine If Ely makes the camp we all ex
pect it will another season.

SUGGESTED BY THE SITUATION A FEW DAYS AGO.

Resolved. by the joint meeting OF the
commercial bodies Of Mobile, That the ac-
ton of tho masters Of the steamers Carrier
ana Hard Cash. being In all things In ac-
eordnnce With the laws OF the State and
the quarantine regulations of the counties
To winch said boats are destined, is heartily
Endorsed.
The argument offered was that the boats
are strictly complying with the regulations
prescribed by the local quarantine which
local guarantees have been duly recog-
niHed AS authoritative by the State health
onlcer; that the boats are not carrying pas
sengcrs and do not come in contact with
the people and there Is no State quarantine
against Mobile. but only against places
outside tho State. Tho quarantine estab-
ilshed inside the state is entirely local and
none or their regulations are violated by
the masters of said steamboats,. No form
OF law Is found empowering the governor
10 stop boats without process from some
court The action of the governor In Is
