Unhealthy Santa Rosa.

A professional man now ON the
C"mstock, but who resided in Santa
RnSa-one Of California's garden
spote-for some tine, says that the
healthiest person in the world mi.
grating there will became victim
OF consumption. He rays that eveL
the chickens are afflicted with that
disease and wander abont barn yards
coughing like human beings. He
says the cattle are nearly all affl cted
with tuberculosis and hat even veg
etables and fruits are alive with
consumption germs. He attributes
the prevalence Of the disease in that
locality to the number of One-lunged
tenderfeet who migrated there for the
purpose OF improving their health.
The Chronicles authority for the
above statement said that when he
arrived at Santa Rosa he WAS robust
healthy man, but in less than two
months he was reduced to mere
shadow Of his former self and in q
short time became so weak that he
had to be carried from bis home to
the railway depot and has no desire
to ever visit that locality again

One Of the problems thar press for
"rompt solution everywhere through
mt the different States is the fairer
equalization OF taxation. The Lara
mie Republican says that in the State
" Wyoming there are 100000 head of
cattle. 10 1898 the assessors found
2S0.l02. The rest got away without
being noticed. When it came to
moneys and credits the showing is
even worse. On July 4th, 1898, the
total deposits in the Wyoming banks
was S3, 41.534.61. The total amount
Of moneys and credits that the assess
ors could find in 1898 was S465. 1871. "a.
This is. as will be seen, less than one.
seventh oi the amount in the banks
alone. and this doesn't touch the large
additional amount placed upon mort
cages. Nor is Wyoming exceptional
among the States. Investigation
would reveal the same condition OF
affhirs elsewhere. We talk about the
heavy burdens OF taxation, but they
are made doubly 40 bera use there are
40 many men of wc nth who refuse to
be honest with the government. II
the property conld he listed upon an
exact equality the heavy taxes would

Death OF Joseph A. Tinker.

Word was received here this morn
ing that Joseph A. Tinker, torme,
resident Of this county, had died a.
his home at Upper Lake. Lake conn
ty, California. OH Christmas day. Mr..
Tinker was well known to all Of tn
older residents Of the county and wac
highly esteemed for his many good
qualities. IN 1874 he became
a member of Elko Lodge No. Is A.
F & A. NJ. and retained his member
ship in tho Lodge until Dec. 4, 1888.
He served rs Master Of the Lodge in
1880 and stood high among his hreth.
rem Of the craft. He Was also
charter member and master O: the
Grange organized in Elko during the
'70s.
Mr.. Tinker was SO years of age and
his death was caused by dropsy Of
the heart. Although he left Elko
county AWAY back ID the SOS he had
many friends here who still remem.
her him and sympathize with his
family in their amicion.

A Newland's Howl,

The Newlands papers have set up
a great howl over the fact that Dave
Maggie, the man who killed Judge
Terry, is in Carson and charge that
he is there to assist Sen ator Stewart
in his fight for reelection. They
have even gone 30 far as to agitate the
formation OF vigilance committee to
nd Carson of his presence and the
presence of others whom they claim
are there for the purpose of corrupt
ing legislators in Stewards interest.
This is all very funny SO far as it re-
lates to Maggie. If our memory serves
US right, Maggie killed Judge Terry in
cold blood and the Sharon estate. to
which Mr.. NewlalIds is nm heir, prof
tied by That dastardly murder. This
beng 80, is it not more probable that
Maggie is in Carson in the interest Of
Mr.. Newlands? 1t would look that
way to an unprecedented man who
merely puts two and two together
and gets four as the result. The
howls Of the 70 papers seem to be
made for the purpose OF hiding the
crooked work Newlands' managers
have mapped out. Just this and moth
ing more.

ment OF 2O5,O3l pounds Of ore, which,
With silver at So cents or there
ahoute, uetted, free and clear of oil
expenses, close to $4,000.
At Silver City, Idaho, is a mine
which is Sail to have produced the
richest carload Of ore ever sold in
Denver. 1t brought, according to
report. over $4,000. Another from
the same mine is said to have sold for
100000.

that rich strike has been made in

The ledge has opened out to four feet
