THE EUREKA MAIL KICK.

Under the heading, .'The Ely Mail
Kick. the Eureka Sentinel quotes our
item Of two weeks ago and comments as
follows:
"The people of Ely would not have
the pleasure OF receiving the San Fran
cisco paper until considerably later very
often were in not for the fact that the
buck board waits at Palisade for the ar
rival OF the train from the west which
of late is very frequeuently behind time.
The delay in the arrival of the buck
board during the past week was due to
the destruction of the bridge over Hot
Creek in Pine Valley, The creek is
very deep aud has piecipitous sides at
this point 1t is therefore necessary
for the buck board TO take the lower
road from the Hay Ranch and come by
way of Lanes to Mineral Hill, which
increases the trip by several miles The
bridge on the regular road Is expected
to be repaired at once.
Postmaster Clarke says that accur-
ate reports are made OF all mail arrivals,
and that in the particular instance OF
the Ely mail "A sliding schedule is made,
the Postofiice Department allowing the
Ely mail 10 leave at any time between
$40 p. NJ on Sunday. Wednesday and
Friday and s:30 the mornings follow
ing those days, thus enabling connec-
tions with the buck board arriving from
Palisade, =
We do not propose 30 argue this ques-
tion any farther. We administered our
kick and 1t evidently reached the anat
omy Of the right man as the mail has
arrived promtly on Monday, Thursday
aud Saturday nights ever since, fol
which wa are properly grateful. Will
regard to that sliding schedule, tina
was merely a precautionary measure t.
obvlate the necessity of the Ely stag,
leaving without the mail when thu
buck board was unavoidably late.
does not in any sense release the buck
board from the necessity OF arriving Il
Eureka on time, nor our stage from
taking the mail as soon as 1t is distrib
uted. The schedule has been slid to 1t
proper place now and should be KEEP
there.

OUR BOYS DISAPPOINTED.
Will Bruce Says They Want
Horses.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 10, 1898.
EDITOR OF THE News
| did not write last week as l was too
sick. Well, we are in Frisco yet with
every prospect of staying on this coast
for our term in the army, as nearly all
the other troops here have been as
signed to some expedition and there is
no mention of sending our troop.
The Utah troop of cavalry are camp
ed by us now. They moved over from
Camp Merritt last Sunday. They have
been assigned. to do post duty at some
park on this coast and they expect to
leave In about 10 days. There is great
deal OF dissatisfaction among the troop
on account of 1t.
There is considerable sickness in our
troop, but the principal cause was vac
cination, which worked very severely
on a number of the troop.
Our Captain informed us this morn
ing that he was going to try to get
horses for us and If any members of
the troop had horses of their own, he
would try and get transportation for
them and they could take chances on
getting paid by the Government. So
II there is anyone in White Pine county
who has any horses that he thinks will
do for cavalry horses, and is willing to
take chances on receiving pay for them,
l will see about transportation If they
will deliver the horses at the railroad.
Last Thursday was payday for our
troop and, as result, there was num-
ber of boys failed to answer the regular
roll-call for few days and three so for
got themselves as to get put in the
guardhouse. 1t is possible that they
will go to Alcatraz Island for a couple
of months to reflect on their mistakes.
Any one without pass who is absent
at ''taps" since payday is compelled to
stay in camp for three days, and it is
beginning to make the boys punctual.
With kind regards to all, | remain as
ever,
VIM. BRUCE,
1st Nevada Cavalry.
