Our Carson Letter.


carson, NeVhuds Mcn 4tnb 1000.
Concluded from last week.
To The REooRD:-Mr. Dooley's bill
to pay jurors from the salary fund,
and in cash. has become law also.
While this bill provides for the levy
of separate tax for this purpose, it
need not necessarily follow if gener-
al county revenues continue as in the
past four years, but old claims and
scrip will be made to suffer.
Senator Ernst, of Nye County has
passed in the Senate, bill to sub
nit to the voters of Nye county at
the next election, the question of
segregating that county and dividing
its territory among its surrounding
neighbors. The allotnents are spec
ially mentioned. Under them Lin
coin would get little of present value
but the Pahrump county and Little
Cherry creek. With the building of
a railroad, Pahrump will come to us
any way, without segregation.
Mr.. Dooley's bill amending the
mining law, has passed the Assem-
bly, and will doubtless pass the Sem
ate. Its chief provision is to grant
120 days instead of 80 days, within
which to perform the development
work necessary to complete loca-
ton.
TIE bill introduced by Senator
Denton. to separate the offices of
District Attorney and County Super
intendent will doubtless pass the
Assembly all right. 1t will not go
into effect until the next general
election however.
On the whole, the present legisla-
ture is regarded as one of the fairest
bodies which has convened in the
State in many years. Fewer "cinch'
bills, as they are called, have been
introduced and none of them have
succeeded. The lobbyist has been
much in evidence some of his best
efforts were put forth to secure the
passage of proposed constitutions
amendment which should authorize
State lottery. The scheme died
however, and died hard in the AS
sembly, on Friday. X.

Chief Engineer West, places May
18th. as the date of the completion
of the Utah & Pacific. From now
till then there are ffty-two days
barring Sundays and as the distance
is but 26 miles, the rate OF half a
mile day, would make the estimate
sbout correct.
People in town cannot be too par
ticular. about throwing out hot ashes
when tie wind is blowing. Deputy
Sheriff Ewing noticed just such {
case this week, and prevented dam
age by inducing the the party to poul
water on the incipient fire.

Carson, New, Mch. 11th, 1899.

To The REcoRD:-At noon on Friday
the 10th. the Legislature adjourned
sine die. The fifty days for which
the members drew pay, and which is
the limit, expired last Monday and
since that time a general impatience
was manifested for an early adjourn
ment.
The Senate had less than the
House, and though the closing hours
were worked to the limit, passed on
all bills, giving each full considera-
ton.
In the House, belated bills were
slaughtered right and left, the mem
bers refusing to investigate the mer-
its of the few, and many were pigeon
holed and tabled.
No other measures of direct inter
est to Lincoln County than those
heretofore mentioned, came up,
though number of important gen.
eral measures were passed during
the last days, which will appear
shortly in print as the Senate Print
ing Office is close up with its work.
Politicians generally will be
pleased to know that the purity oi
elections law, that badly misnamed
and much abused measure which has
made so much trouble in the past
few years, has been wiped off the
statute books. 1t was politics tina
did that too, and it required hare
work. tits regarded as good thing
in sentiment, but poor in practis'
among sparsely settled section lik'
Nevada and it is probable the ex
pertinent will not be tried again
The rigor of its provisions had tn
effect of putting premium on per
jury and keeping men OF lntegrlt
and honor out of active politics.
Of Lincoln's representatives Sena
tor Denton will be the first to repor
at home, though he was the last t
leave.
Assvmblyman Dooley will make
tripinto Esmeralda county and afte
that will-probably visit Californi'
before finally heading homeward.

Magnolia's Great ASSAYS

As foreshadowed in these columns
yesterday, the returns from samples
of ore sent in from the new strike in
the Magnolia at DeLamar, New. were
most sensational, the total valuation
amounting to $6635 20 per ton. Seq
regated, the metals from which this
result was derived, ruled as follows:
Gold 322.16 ounces, or $9443 20;
silver, 1868 ounces or 1892. per ton.
In addition to this, the samples
showed small percentage of copper,
the latter generally appearing in
connection with the high grade ores
of the Nevada camp. Hon, 7. R.
Jones, who is one of the principal
owners in the Magnolia, says a ship
ment of this class of ore is now be-
ing prepared, and will be brought
in as soon as the long haul over the
desert will permit. Tribune.

WASHINGTON, April 4.-The opinion
Is expressed in official circles here that
the outlook for a satisfactory and peace
full final adjustment of Samoan affairs
is decidedly hopeful. The statement

that it is altogether likely that the joint
high commission, by virtue of the
plenary powers vested in its individual
members, will be able to conclude a
settlement of the Samoan question to
the satisfaction Of all the powers con-
cerned, and that there is such an under
standing between the three powers as
almost certainly will prevent any dis
agreement such as would make it neces.
sary to ask King Oscar of Sweden and
Norway to act as umpire. The peaceful
solution Of this delicate situation, full
OF possible trouble, is regarded as a tri.

METAL TRADING CHECKS.
Judge Lochren Will Decide Whether
Their Use Il Illegal.

Judge Lochren Will Decide Whether
Their Use Is Illegal.
ST. PAUL. April 5~.-Judge Lochren is
called upon to decide whether or not
the metal trading checks that are now
used largely in the country towns of
the state are used in violation of the
federal coinage laws.
Mr.. Roussopoulos. the proprietor of
the Northwestern Stamp works, is the
defendant in the case. Among other
things he manufactures a large number
Of metal trading checks. These checks
are made for merchants who use them
in their business. The trade in them
has grown to very large proportions,
and to satisfy many complaints and re-
quests for information. the authorities
had Mr.. Roussopoulos arrested for a
violation of the counterfeiting laws.
Are in General Use.
The use of these tokens or trading
checks has become SO general in some
parts of the state as to almost do away
with the circulation Of coins Of any
other description. They are issued by
country merchants, in some cases in
great quantities. Captain Lawrence,
the special treasury agent in st. Paul,
says he has carefully investigated the
matter and believes that the use of
them should be done away with.
The principal use of the checks is by
general stores in the country. A farmer
brings in his produce to sell and is paid
for It in these checks. The checks are
good for trade only at the store issuing
them. But from the fact that the stores
refuse to pay for produce in n
other currency, they 500 come to be
accepted by all other stores, as the
farmers selling produce have no other
coin to spend. In this way their circu-
lation becomes general in certain local
tiles Cases have even been found
where people insisted on buying postage
stamps and money orders at postofices
with them, and were much offended
when the postmaster refused to accept
them.

about Herr Rose having issued a procla-
nation. We cannot tell what its con.
tents are. Impartial as We have been

Herr Rose issued a provocative procla-
nation. we shall disavow it. That
