In an interview published in
the Nevada State Journal, Con-
gresham Newlands in reply to
a question as to his opinion of the
Nevada political situation said: 81
have no doubt of a fusion victory.
The administration of the present
State goverment has been economi-
cal, business-like and satisfactory.
From all whom | have seen and
from numerous letters which /
have received the sentiment seems
unanimous in favor Of the fusion
of the Silver and Democratic
forces in this State. Of course,
everything will depend on a good
State ticket. / trust that each
county will select its best men
for both conventions-men who
are unpledged and who will come
to Reno with the full determine
ton to secure harmony, fusion and
a strong ticket that will recommend
itself to the voters of this State.

w. Mackay.

With the death of John w.
Mackay, another picturesque fig
ure in American life passes from
the stage of mortal existence. For
nearly forty years Mr.. Mackay had
been conspicuous. In the late Cos
he began taking millions out OF
the great Comstock lode in Vir-
ginia City, New, and eve since he
had been adding to his vast wealth.
And those who know Mr.. Mackay
say he was never spoiled by his
money.
He never forgot that his hands
were once calloused from handling
the pick and drill, that once he
earned his bread by the sweat of
his face. So his comrades of the
old days ever received from him a
cordial welcome, help, if they
needed it, and hospitality as a mat
ter of course. John w. Mackay
was a doer always. He was es-
sentially a man of large affairs and
the capability with which he man.
aged them is shown by the great
works left as lasting monuments to
his worth.
In spite of his seventy years and
more, Mr.. Mackay was not an old
man. He carried his age with the
jauntiness, almost, of youth, and
up to the time he was stricken was
fond of athletics and outdoor
exercises. 1t was thought that
his splendid constitution would
bring him safely through his ILL
ness. In fact, it was reported some
days since that his condition was
growing better, and tho news of
his death, therefore, causes greater
shock.
Mr.. Mackay was the last of the
famous quartette of "bononza mill
ionairs," as they were called in the
old days. Flood, O'Brien and
Fair long since were called to the
other side. Now the muster is
complete. OF the four, Mackay
will be the longest remembered
and the most sincerely mourned,
for he had in him the traits which
win warm friendship and which
hold them.

A new kind of twenty-dollar
piece has made its appearance in
Nevada, says the Carson News.
1t shows a new sort of Sweating
and one that was done by a work
man exceedingly avaricious. The
money maker takes a gold piece
and drills several small holes in
the edge of the milling. These
holes are about one quarter of an
inch apart and run all the way
through. The holes are then plug
ged with a composition wire which
prevents detection until time has
elapsed, when the plugging tar
nishes.
The State Treasurer's Office re-
ceived one OF these coins from the
Winnemucca bank and two Others
were passed on Carsonites from
other sources.
1t is estimated that the enter
prising man who is engaged in
this business gold from
each twenty dollar piece to the
value Of about $3.50.

Weepah Camp.

Weepah camp lies in a low range
of hills about seven miles in a
%southerly direction from Lone
mountain proper and Barrel
Springs. and about fifteen miles in
a northeasterly direction from the
camp of Silver Peak. Weepah is
in Esmeralda county. The group
of mines was acquired about six
weeks ago by Eastern parties,
headed by FL. NJ. Chance, a min
ing engineer of Philadelphia.
These parties are now prosecuting
development work on the group
with a force of men. There is at
present in the camp and district a
population of 100 people. The
veins are found in limestone and
schist formations, and occur both
as assures and contacts. The ores
vary in character from a hard,
white quartz to a brown, sugary
quartz, somewhat oxidized, nearly
all of which horns well in free gold.
In addition to the Darrough group
there are numerous other locations
surrounding which are as yet
uD~deyeloped. The town Of Wee
pah consists of some forty odd
tents and one frame structure. In
the business line they have three
saloons, three restaurants, one feed
yard, and one assay office.

A Big Water Suit.

In the United States Court in
this city, Miller & Lux, a corpora
ton of California, has begun what
is probably the largest suit which
ever took place in Nevada, and
possibly in the world. 1t affects
the water rights of 134 property
holders and some of these consist
of many thousand acres. The re-
suit means live or die for all the
farmers in Mason Valley, all in
Smith Valley, all in Antelope Val
ley, nearly all on the east fork of
the property in Big Meadows up
to Bridgeport and the Sweetwater
branch of the east fork. On the
other hand Miller & Lux own some
10000 acres of land in Mason and
Smith Valleys, the last large prop
erty on the Walker river. The
title of the suit is miller & Lux

THE SIZE OF FAIRIES.
Creatures Who Live In the Poets,
of the Elfxabethan Age

Creatures Who Live In the Poetry
of the Elixabethan Age.
Readers of Elizabethan poetry are
familiar With fairies who fashion coats
from a bats wing, fans from those of
butterflies, coverlets from the skins of
snakes, wage war with spiders and
make expeditions on the backs of flies.
Writers have commonly assumed that
such minuteness was the product of
poetic fancy, which reduced these spir-
it's to a size much below that admitted
Folklore supplies us with abundant
examples of fairies who can carry nc
more than single straw, who emerge
from molehill and make a thread
bridge in order to traverse keyhole
Concordant is the testimony of Ian
guage, as when the foXglove passes fol
being fairy cap.
If size SO reduced cannot allow his
torical Interpretation, still less does
ethnolcgy explain the qualities of these
fays, who in power do not differ from
their larger cousins. Queen Nab, nc
larger than the jewel of ring, is yet
charged with the functions of a brit
goddess. The least fairy can steal &
bride or baby; tenuity is of less con
sequence, since any tiny sprite can a
will assume gigantic proportions. The
fairies who in one canton are repre-
| sented as dwarfish in the next may b,
| described as gigantic.
The contrast, which cannot be &C
| counted for as arising from historical
memories, may be easily explained b,
the early modes of conceiving nature

ant Who Won Promotion.
Kassim Pasha when minister Of war
for Egypt was very particular in re-
gard to the personal appearance of his
officers and issued stringent orders
that they should never appear I'M
shaven in public. One day lie met
upon the street lieutenant " no had
bearded the pasha and disregarded his
orders. ITO what regiment do you be-
long" demanded the indignant minis
ter. "To the regiment, at Abas-
seuh," replied the frightened lieuten-
ant. "Get into my carriage at once so
that 1 can carry you to the encamp-
ment and have you publicly punished"
was the stern command which follow
ed.
The young man obeyed, and the
twain rode along gloomily enough for
some time, when the pasta stepped his
carriage and entered an Office where he
would be detained for some time on
business. Selling the opportunity, the
culprit sprang from the vehicle, darted
into a neighboring BARRIERS stall and
regained his post before the return of
his jailer minus his beard. tNor the
remainder of the route the officer bur-
led his face in his hands and seemed
the picture of apprehension.
Abasseuh was reached at last, and
all the officers were assembled to wit
ness the degradation of their comrade,
who all the while kept well in the rear
of his chief. "Come forward, you son
of dog" cried the irate pasha, when
there stepped before him an officer
with face as clean as a baby's and a
look of the most supreme innocence.
His eXcellency gave one look of blank
establishment and then, with an ap-
| preciative smile breaking over his war
worn features, turned to the assembled
officers and said, Here, gentlemen,
your old minister is fool, and your
young lieutenant is captain"

expect to make this their future
home. He had not finished his term
in the army and had month to serve
there as he was still citizen of that
country. He had purchased farm
there too, but sold it and says this is
the home of the working man. A
young man accompanied him who
will remain here and work.
Last Sunday was a great day for
the children of the congregation in
the Elkhorn church. Their parents
had planned and prepared picnic for
them and large number, reaching to
the hundreds assembled with we'll
laden baskets and proceeded to have a
good time. A good program was
given from the church with which all
were we'll pleased. After the pro-
gram the feast was spread and the
little folks enjoyed themselves as
we'll as when they began to play the
games which they continued until
night.
A very peculiar and puzzling Incl
dent came to Peter Madsen living
just east of Kimballton last week. He
was out along his woven wire fence
when he noticed small piece of blue
/ paper. He picked it up and saw
that 1T was check duly signed but
never cashed. 1t was folded once,
but did not show wear only at the
fold, and he was surprised to see the
date 1888. A closer examination
showed it to be check dated Febru-
airy II, 1888, at Howell, Nebraska,

ELKHoRN,

Quite an improvement was made in
Elkhorn the past two weeks IN filling
up the streets, making them nice and
smooth and level, filling up around
the hitching posts so that is is much
easier on the teams brought in to
town.
H. P. Peterson, son of John Peter
son, who is at school at Lincoln,
Nebraska, will be at home in week
or so when he and his father will
decide if they will make the
European tour they had decided on
some time ago.
Mrs. John Peterson, who has been
down to Coltax for some time to see
if the mineral water there would
improve her health, arrived home last
Thursday, but is not improved as her
husband and friends would like to
have her.

a game of ball with the team from
Fiscus last Sunday and the latter or

score of 10 for Indian Greek and y

the Indian Greek diamond.
A pre-Fifth. Of June celebration
was given Sunday at the home of
Sven Madsen, living southwest Of
Poplar. A great assemblage of peo-
i pie had come there and their rejoic-
ing lasted far into the night and gave
them plenty to remember on the
morrow.
Peter Nielsen, living over east of
Elkhorn, gathered into his home last
Saturday evening crowd OF young
people for the enjoyment of whom he
had provided music and they were
soon all wheeling to its charm and
kept young until well towards morn
ing.
i Rasmus Hedegaard, who purchased
an eighty acre farm out on the ridge
last week sold forty then, sold thirty
five acres of what was lett last week to
Jens Rasmussen for $4,000 per acre.
Rasmus retained the five acres with
the house, but the barn went with
the rest.

Only those who have to go to the

when laid by for a time. Pictures

Inconvenience, letters that one couldn't
bear to burn, odds and ends that one

Long chains, especially of baroque
pearls, continue to be in fashion, says
June Woman's Home Companion. A
pretty fancy for the summer girl is to
have her chain match in design the fan
attached to it. For the daisy fan there
is long chain made Of small white
enameled daisies. The daisies look as

THE VOLCANO BELFp
Lines Around the Earth Wheraf
Crust Is FUNNIEST. Ia

Mans habit of delving into then ~
for both scientific and industrial res
sons has made what may be called thS
internal mechanism of this old orb d
matter Of deep concern at all timesM
and volcanic flurries, such as that iS4
Martinique, tend to increase and intenfS
sify public interest in matters relatingt
to the earth's interior, says the New1
Orleans Times-Democrat Forces whichs
bring about these surface manifesta7x
lions of internal disorder follow thet
law of least resistance. They break out
where it is most convenient to do sot
Scientists have been able to trace the
line along which possible volcanic erup-
tions are arranged, and, while the line
Is somewhat erratic, it is definite
enough, and the frequent disturbances.
within the range agreed upon have am
ply established the correctness of the
conclusions reached.
The following from encyclopedia au-
thorities with reference to the matter
may not be without interest in view Of
the fearful disaster in Martinique: Vol
canic action, according to the authori-
ties, is limited to particular regions Of,
the earth. In these regions the active
vents are disturbed at intervals and are
generally arranged in linear direc-i
ton. The Pacific ocean is bounded by
an almost unbroken line of active vol
canoes. Beginning in the New Shet-
lands, where there is an active volcano
in latitude 62 degrees 55 minutes south,
we pass the TERRA del Fuego and then
| on to the Andes, which are throughout
their whole course volcanic, although
the great centers of volcanic action are
confined to Chile, Peru, the neighb0r-
hood of Quito, Guatemala and Mexico.
The line is continued northward by the
burning mountains of northwestern
America, and the Aleutian islands car
ry the chain across to Kamchatka, on
| the Asiatic side. Here, turning south
ward, the line may be traced through
the Kurde islands, Japan, Formosa, the
Philippines, Moluccas, New Guinea and
the Solomon and New Hebrides groupa
to New Zealand.

northwesterly direction through Java
and Sumatra to Barren island, in the
