1t will thus be seen that as yet but
a very little more than one-half the
surface of the streets and alleys of
the city have any sort of improve
ment whatever, while but 27.S7 per
cent of the surface is paved.
The matter of curbing is given great
consideration, and the improved ma
terial used of late years is noted
while round corners at the intersac-
ton of streets are advocated 12s13
feet of curbing was laid in 1898. and
there is now a total of 4S.S miles in
the city, divided among the wards as
follows.

A Gravity Hoist.

A. C. Pratt has on exhibition at ].
Il. Bells store in Carson, a working
model of his gravity hoist, says the APP
peal. 1t is a simple proposition OF APP
plying power exerted by dropping car
down hill. The scheme is to use pow
err exerted by loaded car dropping
down hill to raise loaded car from
an incline, shaft or perpendicular shalt
and at the same time TO bring the empty
ear 10 the surface. II Is done by sys-
TEN of sending the loaded car TO the
bottom of the hill. which is regulated
by n brake, and the ear from the shaft
il landed on top of the ground. Ii the
shaft i shorter than the incline at the
foot of the hill the shaft car can be dis
connected and the other car continues
its tourney, landing the empty car at
the shaft house.
The beauty of the scheme is that no
steam or artificial power is needed. All
that is required Is mine and hillside
10 work on, and the invention will do
the work of a heavy steam hoist. The
system of brakes and switching is most
inoenius and simple. Anyone of ordin-
ary Intelligence can manage the affair
with absolute safety.
A big crowd OF interested people wit
messed the working OF the machine re-
Gently, and everyone pronounced 1t the
greatest and cheapest mine power vet
Invented. For side hill mining it is I'M
doubtedly a great thing. and the first
mine that adopts it will demonstrate to
all mine operators that the od-fashion-
ed and highly expensive steam hoist is
a thing OF the past.

THE WHITE PINE NEWS.
Thursday, DULY @, 1899.
TO OUR READER $.

With this issue the WHITE PINE
NEWS enters upon its thirty.third vol
ume. Since II was first established ut
Treasure City in 1858, IL has had many
different proprietors and has passed
through many grades of fortune. Yet
it has weathered every storm. and the
fact that it has survived 50 many years
when times have been hard and people
poor, is sufficient proof that it has had
a place to fill and has filled il to the
satisfaction OF its patrons.
It has been the aim of the present
management to make of the NEWS a
live and interesting county paper. We
have paid particular attention to local
and State news, besides presenting each
week some Geographic news which
reaches most of our readers earlier than
In the California and Salt Lake papers
Short stories, mining and agricultural
notes, and miscellaneous matter help TO
afford a variety of reading matter in
each issue. We endeavor to lose no
opportunity to advertise the resources
OF the county and to aid in promoting
its welfare.
That our efforts have been appreciat-
cd, We have had practical proof in in
creased patronage, but our list Of sub
sclibers is not yet as large as We conld
wish. We want the WHITE PINE
NEWS to enter every home in White
Pine county. We have come to the
conclusion that we have been trying to
publish an up-to-date paper at an out
of-date price, and have accordingly
concluded to reduce that price to fig
ure at which it will be within the reach
OF every one. Three dollars a year, in
stead OF s., will be the price hereafter
This means q considerable loss to us
unless we can nearly double our sub
scription list, and we need the help OF
our readers and all of our friends to
enable us to do go The reduction ap.
plies TO Il subscribers, new and old.
commencing July Isl, aud those who
took advantage Of our clubbing offer
and have paid in advance for the pres
emit year, will be credited with two
months additional subscription.
The standard of The paper We hope
to maintain and to continue oimprove.
We want regular correspondent in
each section of the county, not already
represented, to whom we viii furnish
the paper free OF charge, besides sta.
tionery. Mining. stock, and personal
items OF interest are always acceptable.
Signed articles on subjects OF general
interest, arc also solicited.

that is that there are many voters in
this State who cannot draw plain let

on the ballots ranging all the way from
a spider-web to hen-track. The pen

booth and rubber stamp substituted,

portunity for making erasures by dis

1.-THE scheme proposed by the
WHITE PINE NEWS for raising funds
with which to build residence for the
President of TIE University would be a
capital one for keeping poor Nevada
BOYS and girls away from our highest
educational institution. The statement
that an additional registration fee oil
$50 for each student would not he bur
densome Is erroneous. Reno Journal.
We believe the Journal is mistaken
and our opinion is based on actual ex.
perience in one OF the greatest educa-
tional institutions in the United States
The University of Michigan charges an
annual tuition fee OF $3j to So year.
and yet the proportion Of poor boys and
girls In that school is as high as in any
free tuition university in the country
Tuition is the smallest part OF the ex.
pense of college course. Board, room
and books are the principal expenses
and any student that can pay these can
by little extra effort, pay the tuition
too. Besides, more than half of the
students at the University of Nevada
are residents OF the town of Reno, and
live at home. They have no railroad
fare, no board, no room rent to pay.
Surely $40 fee would be no hardship
to them.
At the risk OF being called again by
the Journals back woods ignorumus
we cannot refrain from asserting once
more that students who can afford to
pay a Harvard foot ball coach $500 for
three months services, can. afford to
contribute something towards the cost
OF language coaches, science coaches,
