The four principal interior towns received
1900 bales today against 900 bales last
week and IL 900 bales last year. Port re-

r~xorblt.nt Charges.

There Is one concern ON earth that
can lay it oil over the biggest trust :liat
was ever formed, and get ITS hands into
ms many pockets in every community MS
the beef combine or any other set OF
h~ighwaymen. This particular concern
is Wells, Fargo & 20. Their rates are
beyond comparison III the business
world when it comes t. profits for them.
There is hardly a citizen IN this city
or State that bas not felt the weight Of
their hand, and needless to saw every
citizen. man or woman, has raised "A COM
plant against tine cxlIorbitant charges
that are showed onto them. One can.
not look around. that he Toes not iiud
an individual who has Il word OF con.
%demnaiion to say regarding the rates
that this company demands and gets
from the public pur e. It's IA cussAd
outrage, and there should be some way
formed at the coming LEGISLATURE to
make this band OF highwaymen dis
gorge some OF the profits that they col.
loct from the people.
An example was made manifest yes
tcriay The writer received a package
from Stockton OF paper that is worth
fifty cents, and the express any
taxed him one dollar for bringing il
three hundred miles. This is not the
only case. \ tcw weeks ago on Il email
package OF paper that cost but thirty
cents, the express charges were the
same one dollar. Wher one gets n
package from the East he might rs well
give the company II mortgage on his
farm or else apply tn the Commissioners

When any firm or curVOr 'On can cx-

Tonopnh In Issmeraldn..

1t now seems hat Tonopah. the great
camp Of Nevada, is in Esmeralda county,
instead OF Nye, rs has been supposed.
Esmeralda county has maintained that
tLe camp belonged to her, and her
citizens raised enough money to have
the longitude taken, SO that they could
be absolutely correct in their claim.
Application was made to have Govern.
ment officials make tho observation, but
this was not done until the cash was
up.
A few weeks ago MIR. Sinclair arrived
in Carson and made arrangements with
@. w. Friend to take observations to
establish the longitude OF Tonopah, and
thus establish the imaginary lines
beyond dispute. Mr.. Sinclair departed
for the sceno while Mr.. Friend remained
in Carson. They took observations for
live nights, and while it is not given out
officially that the camp is in Esmeralda,
yet this Ii q fact. From what can be
learned in an unofficial way Tonopah is
in Esmeralda by between two and thrco
miles.
\ prominent Tonopah man when
Ir''7cd what the result weuld be, stated
iIut il would be a new county. The
entire population OF the new camp will
demani a new segregation OF the
counties, and tn us establish II new
county and county seat. This cannot
be dons until the Legislature meets,
when tho new section will ask for the
division. From what can be learned
Tonopah will be considered in Nyo
county until such time as tho Legis.
lature meets and official action is taken
regarding the matter.-Appehl.
