Four hundred and sixty eight men
Of the Twenty fifth U. S. Infantry

is composed of colored men, some of
whom saw service III Cuba, and is
under the command of Col. Burt.
who served in Cuba as a Brigadier-

were fine, healthy looking fellows,
and by all odds the most gentlemanly
crowd of soldiers that have passed
through Elko in many a day. The

entertained the crowd with excellent

Carson is dull. The box factory

wood and lumber being flumed. The
Mint has been turned into an assay
Office. The lumbe and wood camps
have been moved Truckee way. D.
A. Bender has sold his residence, and
Messrs. Tobey and Bliss are about to
move from Carson. A very extensive
trade, formerly enjoyed in Carson,
has been moved to Gardnerville. We
have nothing left but saloons, news
papers, preachers and lawyers. But
1 believe Carson has touched bottom.
There is no other source of revenue
that can be taken from US, and we
are bound to grow with the growth of
our surrounding country. The Com
stock will improve and with the ad.
vert Of cheap power we will ride on
