THE LOST BUcKBOARD.

We have mentioned the fact that the
buck board carrying the mail got lost
lately in the snowstorm. The Eureka
Journal gives the particulars and they
are interesting:
On his arrival here, Frank Lewis,
the driver, gave an interesting account
of his experience on the night previous.
He left Mineral Hill late, and, although
the snow was falling heavily, had no
difficulty keeping the road until alter
he had passed Sulphur. At that place
he changed horses, and after having
driven ten miles or more he was sur
prised to find himself back on the road
with the team headed for Sulphur.
After taking observations, he turned
about and again started toward hn-
reka, but in a short time the bewilder-
ed animals had again made almost the
same circuit, and he found himself
again within a short distance OF his
former starting point. In the blind
ing snowstorm Mr.. Lewis could not
distinguish familiar landmark, and,
in fact, there was none to be seen, the
difficulty being experienced on the big
white sagebrush fiat below Diamond
Station, and he concluded to return
to Sulphur and remain until daylight.
Miss Edith Moyle, a young lady OF
Ruby Hill, was passenger on the de-
layed buck board, and fortunately the
night was not at all cold, although the
storm was anything but comfortable.
They reached Sulphur on the return
trip at about 1880 o'clock Saturday
morning, and remained there until the
storm had somewhat abated, when
they again took the road for Eureka
with fresh team, reaching here ut
about O'Clock p. m.

Clark is Nominated.

The Democratic Senatorial Contest,
held in Helena, Mont, Jan. l4th was
attended by thirty-seven members, ey-
cry one of whom voted for William A.
Clark for the position now held by l..
II. Carter. 1t is confidently believed
that Clark will have majority in both
houses and be elected. The Democrats
took no action on the short term Sem
atorship.
The Republican caucus nominated
Thomas H. Carter for the long term
by vote of 20, the full Republican
strength of the Legislature. Ex-Sena-
tor Lee Mantle was nominated for the
short term. There will in all probable
ity be a prolonged contest over the
short term, there being several Demo-
Gratis in the race.

THE BLY, MAIL SERVICE.

In the last number OF the Eureka
Journal we find the following article in
regard to our mail service:
Harry Lewis, Inspector of Postoffices
and Post Roads, arrived in Eureka last
Saturday, remaining until Monday, in
curing into matters relating to the Eu-
reka-Ely mail route. A number of COM
plants have reached the Department
within the past few months because of
the delays experienced in getting the
mails through to Ely on schedule time,
and it was to devise a means for a
better service that Mr. Lewis was sent
to Eureka. While, of course, he
would not give out any information as
to the result of his visit, it is learned
that the Department will firmly insist
that the stages at least attempt to
make the distance between the termin-
al points within the time specified in
the contracts. If this is found i'm
possible the schedule may, perhaps,
be modified, but it is believed to be the
opinion of the Inspector that, If proper
effort is made by the contractors, they
will have little, if any, difficulty in
fulfilling present requirements. The
Department is at all times ready to
make proper allowance for accidents,
bad roads and severe storms, but will
not tolerate continued infractions of
contractors.

MR.. QUAY SENATOR.

Hon. M. S. Quay has been reelected
U. S. Senator from Pennsylvania, and
took his seat on the 18th instant. Tel
egraphic dispatches give lengthy ac-
count of his reception by the Senate.
He entered the Chamber just before
the Senate convened. Tremendous ap-
plause swept over the crowded gale
ries. In the meantime, Mr.. Quay was
receiving the cordial congratulations
of his colleagues on the -four of the
Senate.
The galleries were thronged by gay
and brilliant assemblage long before
the hour OF meeting. Scores of Mr..
Quay's friends had come from all parts
of Pennsylvania to witness the scene.
An hour before the Senate convened
elaborate and beautiful floral pieces be-
gan to be placed in the hall When the
Senate was called to order the messen-
gers found it impossible to place at ad-
vantage any more flowers.

EXPERT OPINIONS.

Senator Clark started in life driving
a mule team to haul supplies into West =
ern mining camps. Today he is the
richest mining man in the Western
hemisphere if not in the world. He
was asked these two questions:
iE'How much of part does chance
play in achieving success in mining rs
compare d with scientific knowledge
aud business ability?
"What are the chances Tor success in
mining as compared with other lines Of
business?o
Here are his replies:
"Chance may be factor in the ae-
QUESTION of good mining property
but there its operations cease. The de-
velopment and the operations which
follow depend largely on technical
knowledge in the treatment of ores as
well as on competent business ability
and good judgment.
''The chances of success in the mi
ming industry are equally good, If not
better, than any other legitimate
business, provided it is managed On
business principles. | have known
many instances whore persons acquired
very valuable mining property but
their incompetency resulted in absolute
failure. -
In similar vein another wealthy
mine-owner, former Senator r. c
Chambers of Utah says;
"Not one in 200 prospectors strike it
rich through luck. Not one in fifty
prospects is worth anything Mining
is business but it is poor mans
business. II a man has .ost all he has
there is a chance for him to work until
he has got together a little money,
start out over the hills and perhaps get
rich. But the most money is made by
men OF means who invest carefully

A dispatch from Cincinnati says that
twenty Governors have replied
to query as to whether they would
allow Jeffries and Rubin to fight for a
limited number of rounds within their
states. Twenty-Five give No for an
answer. Governor Sadler of Nevada
says that boxing contests, to a finish,
are allowed in his State, under special
provisions. Only one of the Governors
is non-committal We hope the time
will soon come when the Governor of
Nevada, If asked this question, will be
forced to answer, No.

MR.. NEWLANDS ON LOTTERY
SCHEME.

In recent dispatch from Washing
ton, we find how Hon. Mr.. Newlands
regards the present Lottery Scheme.
1T can hardly be said nowadays that
Mr.. Newlands is not active in Nevada s
interests:
Congressman Newlands is much ex-
ereised regarding the attempts to es-
tablish lottery in Nevada. A cor
poration has been formed and at the
coming session of the Legislature it is
the intention to pass a bill submitting
a constitutional amendment to the
people sanctloning the lottery. The
bait offered the State is $50, 900 per
annum, to be used for the storage Of
flood waters. At the last election all
parties in their platforms declared
against the lottery.
Newlands has been quite active in
promoting measures looking to the
reclamation of arid lands in the West
The question is new one to Eastern
members and they must be familiarized
with it before action can be secured
Newland5 fears this lottery scheme will
divert the Congressional mind from its
present attitude of friendliness to one
OF hostility. He has been interviewing
Louisiana Senators and Representa-
tives in regard to the Louisiana lottery
