Contemplate Triskerv In oleo.

gsrine makers have an ingenious device
by which they hope to escape the tax
of 10 cents pound upon oleo colored to

Of only n of cent per pound. II the

consumer may apply the paint without
subjecting himself to the tax. To meet
this interesting situation the manufao-
turers have arranged to supply each
purchaser Of 9 package Of oleo with Q
small amount Of coloring material and
with directions how to use II In such Q
way as to make the uncolorsd product
look like butter.
If this plan receives the sanction Of
the government or of the courts, the

The S. P. Company have men at work
down at the Moulin siding, which is To-
Gated about IL miles west OF Battle
Mountain, sinking an artesian well. We
understand that they have already
struck II good flow OF water.
AT the present time there is much
speculation among our people in regard
10 the sinking of this well at that poiut.
Many think that if the road is moved
operations will begin at that point,
while others are OF the opinion that the
sinking of the well has nothing to do
with the changing If the road. No one
knows the change that is TO take place,
if any, aud until then we all remain in
great suspense.

bruised my knee that it was swollen,
discolored and painful to the touch.

T0NopAH IN EsmERALDA.

1t now seems that Tonopah. the great
camp OF Nevada. is in Esmeralda county,
instead of Nye. as has been supposed
ever since the discovery was made by
James Butler.
Esmeralda county has always main
tanned that the camp belonged to her,
and her citizens raised enough money to
have the longitude taken, SO that they
could DO absolutely correct in their
claim. Application was made 10 have
Government. officials make the observa-
ton, but this was not done until the cash
was up.
A few weeks ago Mr.. Sinclair arrived
10 this city and made arrangements with
C. w. Friend OF this city, to take obser-
vations to establish the longitude Of
| Tonopah, and thus for all to establish
the Imaginary lines beyond dispute. Mr..
Sinclair departed for the scene, while
Mr.. Friend remains in this city. They
took observations for five nights, and
while it 10 not given out officially that
the coveted camp il in Esmeralda. yet
this is a fact. From what can be learn
ed in nm official way the town Of Tono-
pah is in Esmeralda county, 10y between
two and three miles. The difference in
time between this city and that point is
ten minutes and six seconds and a frac-
tiun.
When the news is given out officially
the coun y authorities will do consider
able figureing. This will be n matter Of
several weeks. rs the calcu 'ations have
not yet been corrected. but that will
only make a difference OF a small fraction
Of Il second when o..,pleted. Several
parties who b, We been loading up on
Nye county script, will have "a chance to
think the matter over, which may not
result 10 such Il big profit as was at first
figured on. Since the discovery Of Ton
opah, the licenses and bullion tax. to-
gether with the tax On real estate and
personal property, have swelled the Nye
county treasury to considerable extent,
and with a few more months of this
property she will be on a solid basis. As
Nye county has furnished the officers OF
the law, and maintained peace and order,
there will be no redress for the amount
| OF licenses and taxes collected. Lad Es-
meralda set up Alright in the start and
shared the expenses, che would then
have stood a show Of getting in on the
back taxes.
A prominent Tonopah man, who has
been visiting in this city, when asked
what the result would be, stated that it
would be a new country. The entire
pc pulation OF the new camp will demand
"a new segregation Of the counties, and
thus establish a new county and county
seat. This cannot be done until the
L gislature meets, when the new sec
ton will ask Tor the division. From
what can be learned from PARTIES inter
ested, Tonopah will be considered in
Nye county until such time as the Legis
Ialure meets and Official action is taken
regarding the matter. just bow the
