The Carson Pug Pen.

1t ls now settled fact that No
more big prize fights will be held in
Carson, says the Gardnerville Record.
The prize fight law made It easy for
the pugs, but the Southern Pacific,
with it's stiff rates, made it hard to
bring the people here.
Senator Livingston has elk men at
work, tearing down the big arena at
the Carson race track, where the Cor
bett-Fitzslmmons fight took place.
To obtain some idea of the size OF
the structure, it may be said that
there was used III it's construction
1900 feet of lumber, and a carload
OF nails, and it is surrounded by a
half a mile Of barb wire fencing OF
four wires.
The lumber is in good state of
preservation, and is being carefully
taken apart, and the nails removed
and saved. The lumber 10 OF varying

Weekly Crop Bulletin.

The U. S. Department Of Agricul-
ture, Nevada Section, Climate and
Crop service, Weather Bureau.
Carson City, Nevada, September 5,
$780,
Warm days and unusually cold
nights prevailed in all the districts
during the past seven days. Light
and unimportant showers occurred in
a few places.
The weather conditions during the
week have been highly favorable to
the growing and maturing crops and
for the harvest work in the hay and
grain fields. Reports indicate that d
great deal of wheat was so badly
damaged by the heavy frosts that it
will probably be cut for hay. The Sec
ond crop Of alfalfa which is now be-
ing cut promises to be unusually
light in. the majority of the districts,
the shortage being attributd to lack
OF moisture. -. r:sa,..
Harvesting is progressing satisfac.
torily in all sections with Indications
that all the hay and grain will be in
the stack before the middle. OF the
month. Thrashing is in progress and
is yielding pretty close to the average
and in few instances little above
it.
i The condition OF the vegetable
crop has been much improved since
the return Of warm weather.

Gloomy Outlook at Dawson.

The latest number OF the Nugget,
published at Dawson, Northwest Ter
ritory, contains the following facts
relating to the situation there, which
should be needed by persons contem-
plating trip to that arctic region
with the expectation of rapidly &C.
curing fortunes:
alt is to be anticipated that the
outside papers will again be filed
with extravagant stories of the wealth
Of returned Klondikers, and every ct
fort made by them to induce another
stampede into this country. 1t be-
comes the duty Of the local press to
give warning against any such action.
While the total output this year will
probably exceed that of last, there is
little lnducement for the average
prospector to come to Yukon terri
tory under existing circumstances.
Already two Of the principle creeks
have been closed against prospectors,
and no one can tell when a similar
order will follow closing the balance
OF the creeks of known value. Mean
while hundreds of prospectors who
have spent the winter ill Dawson in
unavailIng efforts to secure ground
which would pay them to work are
now heading for the lower country in
hopes that they win be more success
full there.
4These are merely facts, patent to
everyone in touch with the commun-
ity, and they are set forth by the
Nugget in order that no mistake may
be made by men on the outside who
contemplate prospecting trip into
the Yukon.
eve believe that the resources of
the country have yet scarcely been
tapped. We believe that there ls
wealth hidden beneath the ground
that will startle the world, as it has
not been startled since gold was first
discovered in California. But we are
also Of the opinion that this will not
occur until the attitude of the Gov
eminent has materially changed and
substantial inducement given to the
prospectors to come in and develop
the country. -
ave repeat, that so far as we are
able to judge OF conditions as they
exist at present, there is no ground
upon which another rush can be JUS
tified.' -. '' -

There is a good market for stock, and
stock will improve the farms. The
time is fast coming when our farmers
will have to almost abandon cotton as
money crop-it is a misnomer even now
to call it such-and pay their attention to
raising stock and the feed for same. 1t
is coming hard for many to stop raising
cotton, but unless they do, few years
more will see them crying for the
necessaries of life. We must learn to
live at home more-raise our own meat

The above was the verdict of the
coroners jury impanelled to investigate
the mysterious death of Will Fairchilds
last Saturday afternoon, after they had
heard all the evidence adduced in the
case.
Will Fairchilds, his wife Matte and
her mother Mamie Bond lived in the
old two story frame building southeast
of the jail used as a negro boarding
house Saturday Fairchilds died under
peculiar circumstances and without
medical attention. Rumors were abroad
of foul play, and acting Coroner Moore
decided the case was one for a jury to
investigate. Trouble had been frequent
between the couple and the Bond woman
over the relations between Fairchilds
wife and Frank Moore, who had been
boarding with the Bond woman.
Moore was arrested and placed in
jail pending the inquest. The dead
negro's stomach was removed and
sent to Dr. Gannaway at Fort Smith for
analysis On Tuesday the analysis was
completed and DR.. Gannaway s report
showed that he found arsenic in toxic,
if not lethal, quantity The officers
thereupon arrested Fairehilds wife, her
mother and Jim Bond The last named
was Thursday released the rest are now
in jail. Many incriminating letters
were found in Moore S trunk and other
testimony adduced made pretty strong
case against the accused
Pierson Bond, the husband Of the
Bond woman died early last spring
under circumstances that leads some to
think he also was poisoned, though Dr..
O. NJ. Bourland says the man, when he
saw him, was in the last stage of con-
sumption and likely to die at any time.
Berkeley Neal was attorney for the
accused during the inquest, and they
will have able defense when their case
comes up for trial.
