NO MORE STATE LANDS.
CARSON CITY, March p, 1900

CARSON CITY, Marcn Il, l3Oo.
Persons intending to purchase lands
granted to the State of Nevada by the
United States are hereby notified that
a dispatch of this date, received by me
from Hon. w. NJ Stewart and c. j.
Happier, ESQ, State Land Agent at
Washington, states that the records OF
the General Land Office show that UNI
der the millionaire grant the Sea-
rotary has approved and certified TO
the State |. 932, 35l acres, and that Sc
lections yet unapproyed aggregate 6s,-
$40 acres This shows that the two
millionaire grant has been oyerdrawn
to the extent of /, POO acres, exclusive OF
selections made during the current
month of March and not yet reported
by the U. S. Land Office of Carson Dis
trict to the General Land Office. Sc
lections under the other land grants
are, and for several years past have
been, suspended by order OF the Com
missioner of the General Land Office.
There are, however, over 800, 900
acres of approved lands which have re-
verified to the State for various causes,
but principally for failure of applicants,
and, as they have been approved to the
State, applicants are not required to
pay United States selection fees, or fur
nish nonrmineral affidavits, but can i'm.
mediately enter into contract with the
State for the purchase of the lands.
Respectfully,
T.. d. KELLEY,
State Land Register.

LuLL IN SOUTH AFRICA.

During the past week the center oil
interest in the South African struggle
has shifted from Natal and the Orange
Free State to the little town OF Male
king in Beehuanaland, where a small
body of British troops has herolcally
resisted for months all efforts OF the
Beers to capture the place. The siege
has now resolved itself into a race be-
tween hunger and relief, as the Beers
seem unable TO carry the place by as
sault.
Lord Roberts is. still at Bloemfonten
and General Butler in Natal, gathering
their energies for the final march upon
Pretoria with an army of at least 10,
90 men. At the same time the Beers
are preparing to make desperate re-
sistance to the British adj vance and 1t Is
probable that there will yet be serious
fighting before peace is obtained. Re-
ports of bad feeling between the Free
Staters and Transvaalers seem to be
well founded and bode no good to the
cause of the Republics.

The Supreme Court OF the United
States dealt severe blow to the Stan
dard Oil Trust last week, by sustaining
the antitrust law of Texas, under which
the Trust has been barred from doing
business in the State. It's offence was
in requiring all dealers TO buy oils ex-
clusively from it and to sell at certain
prescribed prices. Such IN arrange
ment is plainly a conspiracy to throttle
competition and to plumber the public
against which there should be laws en-
acted in every State of the Union. The
many giant corporations with their bill
lions of capital that now dominate most
of the Industries of the country must
be taught that they can exist only by
doing business on fair and square ba-
sis, that the American people will not
consent to be robbed forever, and the
State OF Texas is TO be congratulated
for teaching the lesson to one of the
worst culprits in the bunch. Now that
the censtitutlonality of its antitrust
law has been determined, other trusts
will no doubt be prosecuted and the re-
suits will afford valuable object lesson
to other States in dealing with the
question.

Escaped From the Penitentiary

Two prisoners named Ramsey and
Collins escaped from the State Prison
last Wednesday morning. They were
at work on the Carson river grubbing
sagebrush with four other convicts and
in charge OF guard. They managed
to wander some distance from the man
in charge, and when they got out of
pistol range they broke and ran up the
river. The guard ordered them to
stop, but they continued, and fearing
the other four might escape he did not
give pursuit, but returned to the pris-
on and gave the alarm. Men were inn
mediately despatched on their trail and
late that evening captured Ramsey
somewhere up the Carson valley. At
last reports Collins was still at large.
