Mrs. Van Antrim found q delightful place

certified to the State ], 1892 ,351 acres,
and that selections yet unapproved
aggregate 68, $40 acres. This shows
that the Two-Million-Acre Grant
has been overdrawn to the extent of
| 200 acres, exclusive Of sections
made during the current month Of
March and not yet reported by the
U. S. Land Office. Selections under
the other land grant are, and for
several years past have been, sus-
pended by order of the Commission.
er of the General Land Office.
There are, however, over 500, 900
acres of approved lands which have
reverted to the State for various
causes, but principally for failure of
applicants to pay interest when it
becomes due. These lands are sub.
iect to entry by legal applicants,
and, as they have been approved to
the State, applicants are not requir-
ed to pay United States selection
fees, or furnish non-mineral affida
Wits, but can Immediately enter into
contract with the State for the pur-

But 1t Does Not Appear to
Meet With the Approval
Expected.
People Will Object to Unnec-
essary Delay in the Mail
Service.

Regarding the plan to change the
time for the leaving of the Ely stage
from Eureka, which has been pretty
thoroughly discussed at both ends
of the line lately, the White Pine
News says:
A movement was started here last
week to have the stage schedule be,
tween Eureka and Ely returned to
what it used to be prior to 1897,
making the mails from IL to 20
hours later in reaching this place
than under the present schedule.
Stages which now arrive not
later than IL A. NJ. on Sundays.
Wednesdays, and Fridays, would not
arrive under the old schedule until
the following mornings, while the
stages which should now arrive by
6 p. NJ. on Mondays, Thursdays and
Saturdays would also be delayed un-
til the next morning. II is needless
to say that the majority of our citi-
zens we're not in favor of such a
change, and il is not likely that any
further effort will be made to carry
it through.
There is good reason for dissatis.
faction with the irregularity of the
mail service from Eureka as it has
been conducted during the past win
ter, but we do not believe that the
above change is the proper remedy.
II would not only result in incon-
venience to our business men by in
creasing the time required to get a
letter from railroad points, but it
would also cause an actual loss dur
ing the Summer season in the ship
ment OF green fruits from California.
There is certainly nothing to be
gained by having mail and express
matter lie over night in Eureka,
when it might as well be on the road
for Ely. We are already far enough
removed from the outside world with.
out voluntarily isolating ourselves
the more. When we make change
it should be for the better and not
for the worse.
The present schedule, when strict.
ly complied with. works all right.
During the past week the mail has
been coming regularly, and we can
see no reason why it should not con-
tinue to do so. The schedule reads
that the stage shall leave Eureka
Immediately after the arrival of the
train from Palisade, (due at P. NJ.
on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Satur-
days. but not later than 8 P. NJ; and
Immediately after the arrival of the
stage from Palisade. (due now at
1890 p. NJ but not later than $50
the following morning"
The mail always leaves Eureka
promptly after the arrival of the
train, but formerly the blackboard
from Palisade was often too late in
arriving at Eureka to have the mail
distributed the same evening. maxi
ing it necessary for the Ely stage to
wait until the next morning to get
the mail. We are now informed,
however, that the blackboard is get.
ting into Eureka on time every
night, and the mail is distributed, so
there is no excuse for the Ely stage
hereafter in not leaving the same
evening, arriving here on the follow
ing evening, as it has been for the
