course of the ful6llment OF the
policy OF this journal to make
known to the world the status and
opportunities of the mining in-
dustry in the western fields which
have given it such encouraging
support and such appreciative vel
come. Two members of the edi-
torial staff of this journal, Messrs'
Charles L. and Thomas d. Calkins,
have for some time been devoting
their time and energies to a study
of the leading mining fields of the
Silver State, and future numbers
of this paper will contain addi-
tional expositions of what Nevada
has to attract the miner and inyes-

Such matter is valuable mining

existence for widely advertising

which have already demonstrated
their greatness and wait on the

E. H. Prentice, division freight
and passenger agent of the South
ern Pacific Germany, stationed al
Reno, has been doing some com.
mendable work lately toward adj
vertising the mineral resources Of
Nevada. He has succeeded in
collecting a large amount of Tono-
pah ores, all piacarded and bear
ing descriptions, which is now on
exhi bition at the railroad head
quarters, GLIB Market street, San
Francisco. Further lbanfthis, Mr..
Prentice is DESTROYS of securing
specimens of all kinds of minerals
from Nevada for exhibition pur-
poses, the main point being to
send them East to be exhibited in
the railroad Offices of the large
cities for the purpose of advertis-
ing Nevada. He win be pleased
to receive at Reno specimens of all
kinds OF minerals for this purpose,
but he wishes it impressed upon
those sending in specimens the
necessity of placarding them, to-
gether with the location and a full
decription of the mine IL prospect
so that people desiring TO make an
Investigation a do so, whether
the mine or property be for sale,
bond, lease, or to work on shares
or for a royalty. The idea is that
when parties in the East inquire
Of the railroad agents concerning
the specimens, they will be in a
position to answer intelligently
and accurately any questions that
might be asked concerning the
ores and the mines or prospects
from whence they came.
Mr.. Prentice also desires to have
1t understood that no responsible
ity, so far as the Southern Pacific
Company is concetned, will be as
sumed in vouching for the ores or
mifes, as their responsibility
ceases with the placing of the ores
on exhibition to the best advan-
tage, although their agents will
courteously answer all questions of
inquirers providing the proper de-
scription and information is sent
to Mr.. Prentice with the samples
of pre-. The object of the railroad
company is a very worthy one, as
they deem this a good method to
aid in the upbuilding of Nevada
through an Increase in its popula-
ton, as this is one of the most eff
fective ways to properly bring the
vast mineral resources before
Eastern people. AS far as pos
siBle Mr.. Prentice would like to
secure photographs OF mines and
towns and sections where mines
are located, also names and post
Office addresses of mine owners, so
Eastern people can communicate
direct with the parties interested.

and also Mr. Prentice deserve the
sincere thanks of the people of

on the Big Four was wrecked at /, 30
O'Clock this morning on a high en-
bankment half mile west of Avon.
Hendricks county. Three passengers
were seriously injured and a dozen or
more slightly hurt.
The train was running at high speed,
and struck broken rail. The engine
and two cars passed over it safely, but
the other cars left the track. The New
York sleeper, at the rear, rolled over
twice and down the embankment of
% feet, landing bottom-side up. 1t
contained three passengers. the porter
and the conductor. The sleeper next
to it was from Cleveland, and con
tanned II passengersx This car turned
completely over, but remained at the
top of the embankment. The inn
'prisoned passengers got out by break.
ing one of the windows, and ali escaped
with slight injuries. Tho next sleeper
broke down at the forward end, and
stood across the track. No one in this
car was injured. The two passenger
cars next to the mail cars left the
track, but did not turn over.
A telephone call to Danville brought
every available surgeon to the scene

THE BILLS OF MAGISTRATES.

The bills presented to the county
from Magistrate Bradley's court have
brought the members of the Levy Court
to the appreciation of the fact that
there is something radically wrong
with the present law as to the payment
of magistrates in the city of Whining
ton or as to it's application and con-
struction. 1t is said that the bills sent
to ths Levy Court by Magistrate Brad
ley amount to $1,000.
According to the law Wilmington
magistrate is simply a committing
magistrate and he cannot impose a
fine. If he holds man in bail the
defendant must bond or go to Jail. In
either case the county must stand the
expense. When case is dismissed the
magistrate dookets the case and turns
it in, with his bill, to the Levy Court.
This is all right and in conformity with
the law. Magistrate Bradley has had
SO many cases that his bills have at
tracted the attention of persons in
terested in economical government and
there is talk of drawing up bill en-
powering the magistrates located in
this city to impose fine, in order that
this drain on the county treasury will
cease
