ing citizens of Wadsworth and post
master for the past eight years, died In
California last Thursday of Brights
disease. The remains we're taken to
! Wadsworth for interment
George Mcpherson, brother of A.
W., who was postmaster at the time
OF his death, is candidate as his
brothers successor in the Wadsworth
postoffice and will no doubt get the
appointment. He is. In every way
worthy, competent and entitled to 1t.
There are several other aspirants for
the position, but Mcpherson holds the
top hand.
The Lovelock Argus has letters from
a number of ranchers onlthe headwaters
of the Humbold which show that
the snowfall on the North and South
Fork is heavier than at any time last
winter. This makes 1t reasonably sure
that the Humboldt will carry a good
water supply to the Big Meadows this
year.
Phoebe has what the Cinnamon call
''good luck" cat. 1t is a white cat
with yellow spots and is cripple. It's
forelegs are bent up and it walks on
its elbow. In it's movements it resem-
bles kangaroo and goes hopping
around and it sits on its hind quarters.
Hong Box, the Cinnamon who recent
ly bonded his interests in the Abe Lin
coin group OF claims, attributes his
good luck all to the crippled cat, and
money cannot buy the cat at the pres
ent time. Phoebe Record.
Steamboat Springs, Nevada's IA
nous phenomenon which, in the palmy
days OF the Comstock was the scene
of mining deals with millions in them,
fell into evil ways several weeks ago.
An earthquake visited the springs and
the principal orifice was closed. This
geyser supplied steam and hot water
for the resort and its sudden demise
nearly put a quietus on the old resort.
The owners attempted to blast out the
orifice without success, and then began
boring well at another point. On
the Goth blast OF steam scattered the
boring apparatus and a column of
water rose fifty feet in the air. The
geyser is playing with undiminished
force. A great cloud OF steam can be
seen from Reno, twelve miles away
1t is possible that the geyser will con.
tinue its wonderful activity, although
it is possible that an accumulation of
of steam since the orifice was closed by
the earthquake is responsible for the
present grandeur of the geyser.

that w. L. McGinnis found the belt,
saw the name on it and hurried over
to the Mexican Central station and de-

The new camp Tonapah is causing
considerable trouble between Esmer-
aida and Nye counties. Both counties
claim the camp. The men in business
refuse to pay license or taxes to either
county and inform the officials to &c
survey the land before asking for coin.
The question can only be settled by a
survey which will probably be made at
no distant date.-Carson Appeal.

Cleveland of Nevada is guest at the
Kenyon. He expresses the opinion
that there will be a different tale to
tell at the next ELECTION in Nevada.

ganized in the last campaign" he said,
''and in some counties they did not
have any committee. But this will all
be remedied."
