Attorney Breen Predicts For It q
Bright Mining Future.
District Attorney Bresn, who was over
10 Belmont last week attending . session
Of the District Court at that place, re-.
turned to Eureka last Saturday. A
SENTINEL representative interviewed
the gentleman regarding the situation
81 Belmont and vicinity and he gave
him the following information:
This last session of court wal very
brief and consisted chiefly Of probate
business. Charles A. Anderson, ex-Pub-
lilo Administrator Of Nye county, fled
his FINAL account which was approved
and allowed in the matter Of the estate
Of r. Breen. deceased. In April last Mr..
Anderson turned over ell Of the prop
erty Of the estate remaining in his hands
to his successor in Office.
peter Rutherford obtained letters
documentary in the matter Of the estate
Of Sarah Ann Mccullough. deceased.
There was also aome other probate
business transacted, and . long argu-
ment by respective counsel on the right
Of the present District Judge to hear
and decide the merits Of . demurrer in
the second Of the tax suits of Nye
county against Ernest & Esser Of al"

mo, l did not go to Tonspah, for
want Of time, but was exceedingly snx-
ious to do so. From ell accounts the
camp is bangor After you pass the
Hay Ranch, IL miles from here, 'sll
roads lead to Tonspsh.' You will hear
nothing ave accounts Of the new camp.

they are coming, Father Butler, TO-
600 MORE We met ON the road seven
or eight outfits with from two to Eve
people each. ell headed Tonspshwards,
on ell sorts and conditions of vehicles
and animals, canvas covered beds and
bedding. tin pans, coffee pots. frying
pane. picks, shovels and ell the other
parsphernalia of the adveptursome pros
pector and brave pioneer. and oil, l dare
say, seeing in the near future . big
stake ahead. Belmont is feeling the
good effects Of the increased travel
through her streets to the new diggings.
"The best thing about this mining
excitement is that there lie positive merit
in it. From the very best of authority
| have it that the lodges are widening
with depth and the ore more than doub-
ling in value in comparison with that
found on and near the surface. 1t 10
not . prospect any longer; it is now o.
certainty for years to come.
There are between thirty and forty
teams. big and little. on the road be-
tween Tonapah and Sodaville, and still
the ore is accumulating on the dumps at
. rapid rate for want Of sufficient trans
portation facilities. The intrinsic value
Of her mines is not the only good Tona-
pah will do for Nye county and thu
State. The impetus given to prospecting
may do still more. From what l could
learn paospectors are spreading out ell
over the mountains clear down TO Mont
gomery District, and il will be strange,
indeed, il other Eldorados are not dis
covered in that highly mineralizsd re-
gion in the near future.
$50 you see that Nye county. which .
few tax dodgers were anxious to break
up and parcel out between her neighbors
. year or 80 ago. bids fair to become one
OF the most populous and prosperous
counties in the State within . year or
two"
