CAN SUCH THINGS BE?
A MeddIesome Correspondent Ask
Impertinens Questions.

A MeddIesome Correspondent Asks
~Impertinens Questions.
A correspondent Of the Virginia
Chronicle is responsible for the fol-
lowing:
An arrangement has been made
with the Selby Smelling Co., and the
Virginia & Truckee r. X. Co., by
which the Con. Cal. & Va. Mining Co.
can have their pres hauled and milled
in California for less than they can be
milled right here at the mine. The
regular charge for hauling ore from
Virginia and Mound House to the
Selby Smelling Works, is IS per ton,
and the smelling charge is sl2 per ton.
but since it has been demonstrated
that ore Of any grade can be worked
here successfully and much cheaper
than ever before, the railroad COM
panies now offer to haul the ore for
"a so per ton and the Selby works
will treat it for Sc per ton. This rate
will only apply to the particular case
mentioned and the miners and pros
pectors in Esmeralda county will have
to pay the old rate. and be thankful If
they get back their sacks.
There can be no fault found with
Con. Cal. & Va. Co., for sending their
ore to the mill that returns the most
money at the least cost, but the ques-
ton naturally ARISES in the public
mind, "Why does the V. & T. r. R.
Co. only charge 81 per ton to haul this
ore to Reno when it charges 50 per
ton to everybody else? and why does
the Selby Co. only charge SO for treat
ing this ore, when 1t charges $l2 to
everybody else?

REDUCING THE FEES.
Please Excuse Residents OF This
Part OF Nevada.

A bill fixing the fees OF witnesses
and jurors in the United States Courts
in Nevada. Utah, Wyoming, Montana,
Washington. Oregon. California, Idaho,
Colorado, and the Territories, passed
the Senate recently. Hereafter per-
sons summoned to appear before
the United States Courts, either in the
capacity of jurors or witnesses, will
receive five cents for each mile travel
ed over any railroad in going to and
returning from such court, and fifteen
cents for each mile necessarily travel
ed ove any stage line or by private
conveyance.
People in this part of Nevada will
pray that they may be excused from at
tending sessions Of the United States
Courts in any capacity. While our
are patriotic and liberal they
can not but feel that the Government
is amply able to pay at least an
amount sufficient to defray the actual
expenses OF parties who are compelled
to attend sessions Of court, and the
amount fixed by the bill will fall far
short of this. II is a rank injustice
to the people residing on the branch
lines of railroads in Nevada, and an
exception should certainly be made in
their case.

Tried I'm salt Lake Cfty which
Has . Local Interest.
In the District Court in Salt Lake City
this week the case Of Harriet Ann wat
son, plaintiff, against the Butssr6eld
Mining Company and Willard Key, de-
PENDANTS, has been on trial.
The plaintiff is the owner OF . ball
interest in the Drum Lummon mining
claim ct Bingham, Utah. and sllesesth 10
on December Is, 1894. the Butter6s!d
Mining Company, which owned adjacent
mining claims, wrongfully and unlsw-
fully entered upon The Drum Lummon
claim and extracted therefrom large
quantities Of ore to the value Of $40. 900,
and damaged the mine besides in the
sum Of $40, 600. The plaintiff ask
Judgment in the sum OF 10000.
The defendants. by way OF defense,
alleged that with the consent OF plain
tif, they ran . tunnel below the surface
of the Drum Lummon claim and thai
the owners of the Drum Lummon vert
anxious to have the defendants make
the tunnel, for the reason that il served
to explore their claim. II is then sd-
| mitted that in making the tunnel . small
vein Of ore was encountered. from which
. very limited quantity Of ore was e1-
trscted. The vein, it is claimed. had it,
apex in the Eagle Bird mining claim
owned by the defendants, and they
claimed the right to follow it. Defend
ants therefore prayed that plaintiffs sc
ton be dismissed and that they may b
estopped from asserting any claim to thu
vein in question.
Able attorneys are engaged on boil
sides, and the merits Of spexss will b.
fully brought out.
A decision has not yet been resched.

A Vienna correspondent of the
London Times says the Boer peace
commissioners will not be received
at Vienna, Berlin, st. Petersburg or
Rome, and the United States is
warned not to extend to them any
courtesy. In the nature of a threat
also comes the announcement from
London that "there is a latent feel
ing Of hostility against this country
among the nations Of Europe. and on
this account America will probably
realize the desirability of maintain
ing a good understanding with Eng
Shades of our forefathers!

As was predicted last week Lord

after a p~rotracted delay and is head
ed for Pretoria, although tsprogress
is slow and there is apparently no
definite object in view other than to

plain that the commanders plans are
not yet ripe and it will be some time
before any important move will be
made in the attempt to reach the
Transvaal capital.
