Your committee beg leave to report that
we visited the poor farm ON the afternoon
Of the 2lst. inst We found "a men prison.
ers' 50 boys and 20 women. OF this number
there We're women sick and men,
We found the sick women in
the general sleeping apartments. We
would suggest that it might be
the hospital, or in an apartment set aside
for that purpose. The prisoners seemed to
be in healthy, good condition.
we ind a great many young boys
amongst these prisoners, and we suggest
that 1t might be better to separate them,
if it is possible to do so.
Upon examination, we find the sleeping
apartments and the bedding not as clean
and nice as We expected to find it: the
mattresses are old, and should be changed
as often as possible for the health of the
prisoners.
We are Informed that there are about
300 acres under cultivation. Last year, the
farm yielded about 1900 gallons of syrup
l,so0 bushels of corn, and about 800 BUSH
els of potatoes. They. expect to make a.
much better crop this year.
The camp is very nicely arranged. clean
and well supplied with good artesian wa
ter
On the 2Sth your committee visited Buck
halter camp. We found there 70 men and 6
boys4 sick with syphilis. Your commit
tee think that these prisoners should not
be allowed to sleep in the same apart
ments as the others. their disease being of
a contagious character.
We would recommend that a cooking
shed be built at this camp, as there is no
place in which they can cook during wet
weather.
There is considerable complaint from the
prisoners regarding the quality of the rice
and moiasses furnished them at this camp.
We examined the quality of both and
found that they were inferior.
The camp Is clean and well kept but the
bedding seemed 70 be old, and about in
the same condition as we found at the
poor form.
On July 9th we visited the Jail. We
found there So prisoners, 40 colored men, II
white, one white woman, and colored
women. The apartments were clean and
well kept and the prisoners in a healthy
condition.
We visited Camp NO. 9, located near the
new road, this afternoon, Sept. / and En-
glneer Brown, in charge of the camp. re-
ported q men, The storm having blown
down their tents, the prisoners were all
moved over to the County Farm. Work
has been suspended on the road on account

239 and Mcmillan Ill. This leaves Sad.
ler's plurality %, as was originally stat

Mcmillan will contest the election oil
Governor Sadler on the grounds that the

cincts throughout this State,

NATURAL GLASS MINE.

Jackson Ferguson, OF Churchill
county, has on exhibition at the Report
office in Virginia City, a peculiar look
Ing specimen, which he discovered DUR
ing late prospecting tour. 1. consists
OF an almost square piece Of what looks
exactly like plate glass about Is by IA
inches in size and about three-fourths
of an inch thick. The prospector says
that there lie a whole mountain of the
stuff down there and he is only here
temporarily, being on his way to San
Francisco where re will exhibit his
specimen and make an attempt to get
capital interested in his project OF es-
ia ablishing plate glass factory near
Cottonwood, ON the edge OF Dixie Valley,
where the remarkable deposit was found.
The stuff is not quite as clear as ordin-
ary plate glass, but the prospector has
had its elements analyzed by chemist,
and by subjecLing the material to inn
mense heat it gives up its impurities
through its seams and losing that
cloudiness which mars it's value. t
shows as clear and pure as the best plate
glass. The only drawback about min
ing the substance for use as plate glass
! is the difficulty in getting it out in large
pieces without breaking it, the biggest
being that exhibited by Mr.. Ferguson,
which as we remarked before, measures
about IA by Is inches, but he says that
with the assistance of capital means can
be easily devised by which the natural
glass can be lusrried out in any size de-
sired. He is quite enthusiastic over the
prospects of his glass mine, and from
the specimens he exhibits he certainly
has good cause to hope for the success
ful prosecution of his designs.-Report.

The Ladies'.

San Francisco, Dec. 2. Never before
has there been such a season OF gorgeous
extraya9ance in clothes for women as
this year. 1t is really only the women OF
wealth who can dress in the very latest
aud very correct fashion.
Other years plain gowns have been the
vogue. This season they are out OF date.
Even the newest tailor made gowns are
seen this autumn trimmed with banis
OF inlaid velvet or fur or they are lavish
ly adorned with braid.
Feathers and ponpons are also the
rage. Some of the newest and most
effective are white ponpons which look
not unlike fluffy snowballs, but the hair
ornaments are glistning with bits OF sill
yer or specks OF gold. Feathers for the
hair are more in fashion than they have
been in several years past. Two small
curly tips are worn and the newest are
shaded to blend with the gown.
1t is also fashionable to wear turtles
or lizard. in the hair. The turtle orna-
ments are many OF them most costly.
They come elaborately stuade- with
iewels.-llonus IN Carson Weekiy.

MORE RAILROAD TALK.

Much interest attaches to the dis
covery and location OF big iron mine
in Churchill county which promises to
do great things for that hitherto neglect
ed section. The mines are located at
White Cloud. The ledge is of great
width and extremely long The ore is
black hematite of iron and nearly pure
contains percentage OF silver sufficient
ly large to make the iron first-cass
article. The mines were located about
eight months ago and patents on the
claims are now being applied for.
OF course to smelt the ore coke is nee
sessary and to bring this in railroad
will have to be built from the mines to
the G. P. Railroad. 1t has not yet been
determined whether the road will he
run in the direction OF Wadsworth or
whether it will connect with the C.P. al
Lovelock. If toward Wadsworth the
road will be so miles in length and will
connect with the G. z. at Desert Station,
seven miles east of Wadsworth, in order
to avoid heavy grade which occurs be-
fore entering Wadsworth proper. From
the mines to Lovelock by the other route
the distance will be 80 miles. In either
case the building and running Of a rail-
way will be comparatively cheap and
easy undertaking, there being no grade
worth mentioning between " hite Cloud
and either OF the places named. 1t is to
be hoped that the design will he carried
out to successful conclusion, as its ex-
ecution would be productive of great
good not only to that section OF Nevada,
nut 70 the entire State.-Report.

WHY MIR. MURPHY REJoIcED.

The Washington Post of March 5 printed the following in its Talks With Hotel Guests" column:
 Ex-Governor N. o. Murphy of Ari- zona is always in a good humor, but yesterday his feelings were exuberant, for the president had attached hs sig nature to a bill ce vast importance to the citizens of that territory. The bill grants territorial municipalities the right to issue bonds for public i'm provements on two-thirds vote of the taxpayers. It also locates the capital of Arizona permanently at Phoenix, and ratifies the action of the legisla- ture for issuing bonds to the amount of $1O0,000 for constructing a capitol building.
 Our people will hear of this, and it will do them more good than any news that has come from Washington in a. long time,' said Governor Murphy. The effect of it will be that extensive improvements will be entered into in- mediately. Too much credit cannot be given to Hon. Mark Smith. our del- egate in congress, for his persistent labors in behalf of the bill He has worked untiringly to secure it's pass age, as he does always in every meas ure that looks to the benefit of our section. The citizens of Arizona will not be unmindful of his service.''

IT MUST END.

Every method attempted by the Spaniards to subdue the revolt in Cuba has ignominiously failed. The com paratively kindly policy under Gen. Campos was so unsatisfactory that the stern rule of Gen. Weyler was sub stituted. All that came of the change was tremendous drain of money and men from Spain and the inf1iction of a cruel and foolish regime upon the long suffering people of Cuba, under which they starved and died in count less numbers. Autonomy, of a type far heralded as more liberal than the Canadian, was then offered to the island, but Gomez and his followers declined to accept it and redoubleG their declarations that they would take nothing short of independence. Fiji nally bribery was tried. The Spanish seem to have argued that the Cubans. being issue of their issue and blood of their blood, would do for a price what they had previously refused to do for any other considera ation. But Gomez promptly put an end to this policy. A few failures of peace am- bassadors" to return from the insur- gent camps discouraged this form of subduing the rebellion. What step the Spanish might have taken next if the Maine disaster had not occurred is an open question.
 lot ho much longer. The interests of Amer ican commerce, considerations of hu- manity, the maintenance of the na- tional health-all these and other fac tors demand that the terrible devas- tation of the island be stopped in the early future. We may differ as to the methods to be employed, but we can not disagree as to the necessity of re- storing peace by some means. One report, which is doubtless exagger- ated, declares that half the population of the island has already been killed by pestilence and disease, and We know enough positively of the dreadful sit uation to be able to say that although the losses in the "battles" of the Span ish regulars and the insurgents have been almost ludicrously slight the deaths caused indirectly by the revolt and the efforts to suppress it have been vast in number Here is the greater Spanish question, pressing as hard for solution as it ever did, and it will confront us still, whatever the outcome of the Maine affair-or per haps we might better say that the ul- timate outcome of the Maine affair will be it's solution.

AN INSULT TO THE PRESIDENT

The editor of a blatant and disrep- utable paper in New York city, writ ing of President McKinley's first year as chief executive, makes this reck- less statement:
 Seventeen days ago the Maine was destroyed in Havana and many sailors were killed. Not one word has been dicate that we are in any way con- cerned in this matter as a nation"
 Every fair minded and every rep utable American citizen knows this declaration to be false and malicious. Because the president of the United States has not made a demagogue of himself he is thus lampooned by a man who Is doing everything possible to disgrace the newspaper profession and who is printing day after day falsehoods and flake" stories simply in order to increase the sale of his poi sonous wares. The same paper charges the president with delaying acticn for the purpose of influencing the money helS 1OI luS OI HIS friends. Such declarations in time of actual war would be nothing short of treason.
 The president has done every hing in his power to probe the mystery of the Maine's explosion. He could have done no more than he has. No man could have done more, to have done it right. As to the cause of the eXplo- sion no man knows the force that brought it about. To assume off hand that Spain was guilty of the most heinous of crimes would be just as disreputable as the actual blowing up of the Maine by Spanish agent
 Tt is best to know" said Captain Sigsbee, and acting upon that policy the president has proceeded along right lines. The scribblers who now malign President Mckinley for being a man are scarcely worthy of notice, but they have it within their power to do much harm. If the paper quoted knows, and can prove, what caused the explosion let it do so at once. In the meantime it should at least be decent. if it can.
