 At the Bryan banquet in Birmingham the other night the toasts were all drunk in pure water. This is worthy of note. It may have been the result of the influence of one good, temperate man. When wine and champagne toasts and the debauch- ing punch bowl have been relegated from the swell functions of the upper-tendom the cause of righteousness will have made a grand stride forward. When?

AGAIN IN LITIGATION.
Motion to Set Aside Judgment in a
Silver Peak Law Suit.

David Leishman and N. A. Hum
mel, attorneys, will spend several days
here taking advantage of the State
library, known as one Of the best on
the coast. to examine into the merits
OF the claims Of J. H. B. Harris to the
Silver Peak mines.
Capitalists are anxious to purchase
these claims. which promise to pro-
duce millions, but owing to the fact
that Mr.. Harris rights have never yet
been tested upon their merits, would
be buyers. in some instances have hes
itated unit the long litigation has been
all concluded.
Tne story of Mr. Harris defense, as
told by him, IS pathetic account of
the privations, prosecutions and suf-
ferings Of a Nevada pioneer prospect
or and should it prove true. without
doubt the reward Of such experiences
will at least be realized From an in
terview with the above attorneys the
News learns that the case at present
hangs upon motion TO set aside and
yacate a judgment obtained against
Mr. Harris by default before they took
hold of his case.
Should their motion prevail. an ex-
pose of the evidence will then be made
at the time Of trial. and the matter
finally adjudicated This, if done, will
open the way for the clear, undisputed
title TO the Silver Peak mines, all
other litigation having been finally set
at rest.
The Silver Peak mines compose
one of the very richest mining proper
ties in Nevada-just such as our State
must rely upon as her principal resour-
ce. Miners have examined the prop
erty and came away amazed at the
extent of it, They say that reduc-
ton plant of any reasonable capacity
could grind steadily for century on
the ore in sight
Unfortunately for Nevada, the pres
ent owners of this magnificent property
are not miners and do not regard the
mines as working investment
Therefore it will be great day for
Western Nevada when all the litigation
! is settled and the property passes into
the hands Of people who will develop
| it and open up mining camp that
will be second TO none in the world -

Counterfeit Gold,

Few persons know that the gold used
in color printing and on picture frames
is made from a composition powder of
bronze and spelter. and not from pure
gold leaf, but which, however, gives the
same effect. There is another article
that is very much initiated, and that is
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Spurious
dealers often refill the bottles, and thus
give them the same appearance as the
original, but unless they have our Pri-
vate Stamp unbroken over the neck they
are not genuine. Refuse all such imita-
tions. The genuine Hostetter's StOm-
ach Bitters has an unequalled record OF
cures of stomach complaints back OF it,
such as dyspepsia, indigestion, constipa
ton, biliousness. nervousness. insomnia
and malaria and ague.
