THE FAILURE OF FUSION In NYk

The Tonopah Miner of September 10
says The failure Of the Democratic
and Silver Conventions to come to-
getber and make common cause against
the enemy is greatly to be deplored.
There is no doubt that the cause of those
opposed to the Republican party has
been injured by thoughtless and hasty
action, but il is not too late for the
county central committees of the, two
parties to confer and effect a fusion OF
forces that will insure victory at the
polls. There is q movement under way
to accomplish this, and by this time
next week the Democratic Silver Party
will be thoroughly organized and pro-
ceed to whip the enemy.
With reference to the "fusion" of the
Republican and Union Labor parties,
we frankly admit that we are too COM
pletely overwhelmed to do the subject
Justice this week; in fact we have been
rendered temporarily speechless by this
unexpected and grotesque case OF polit'
ical miscegenation. We will air the
scandal next week.

NEVADA PRESS COMMENT.

Elko Independent,
The Republicans are claiming every
thing in sight. According to their way
Of seeing things Cleveland, Hswley,
Harrington and their whole State ticket
is already elected by several thousand
majority. Taking their view of the
situation it is folly for any Democrat to
aspire to any office in the State. But,
then, things are not always what they
seem. There will be rude awakening
after the ballots are cast and counted in
November. Instead of their occupying
the luxurious offices at Carson and being
the accredited representatives Of Nevada
to the Congress of the United States,
they will be going up Salt river on their
biennial trip. 1t will be a new expert
ence for Judge Hawley, but Harrington
and Cleveland have been there before
and will pilot the craft. Let the boys
laugh and be merry now, for the time
cometh rapidly when weeping and
gnashing of teeth will take the place OF
hilarity. There is time for all things,
and now is the time for the Republicans
of Nevada to brag, bluster and crow.

HAHRIMAN's EYE
ON RIVAL ROS ID.

San Francisco Examiner: E. FL.
Hartman of the Southern Pacific may
soon build branch line sixty miles
long from apoint on the Carson and
Colorado road in Nevada to the Tono-
pah mining district. A mining expert
has been at work for the past two
months collecting data for Hartman as
to the traffic resources OF the district.
1t is said this report inclines the South
ern Pacific president favorably toward
spending $4,000, 900 for the new road.
This report alone. however. would not
cause him to construct the line. He is
afraid of the project of the Nevada Mid.
land Railroad Company of New Jersey.
The latter is preparing to extend it's
line into Tonopah from Austin and Bat.
tie Mountain. Kruttschnitt has adj
vised Hartman TO build the sixty-mile
line.

: P. l.. Flanagan of Reno reports hav.
ing closed deal with the Donner Land
and Water Company for the dam at
Lake Tahoe, known as the Van Schmitt
dam, for $4,000. The Nevada Power
and Light Company. of which Mr..
Flanagan is president, is to pay $22, 800
and the farmers on the meadows are to
pay the balance. The Gazette is in
formed that the committee soliciting
money is making good progress in rails

farmers. This purchase settles the
question of water supply for the mead.

IN A POLITICAL WAY.

1t is reported that President Roose-
velt will visit the Coast this Fall and
make three speeches in Nevada.
The Gardnerville Courier predicts
that there will be more mixed ballots
voted this year than ever before in the
history of the State.
The Independent says the Democratic
convention held in Elko last week left
a number of scars that will probably
heal before the election. No one
should treasure resentment because his
friend or candidate before the conven-
ton was not successful. 1t will take a
united party to pull the ticket through.

A. 4. CLEVELAND.

Goodwin's Weekly: The nomination
OF Hon. A. @. Cleveland for Governor by
the Republicans of Nevada makes
certain that about the hottest guber-
material fight in the United States will
this year be in the "Battle Born" State.
Mr.. Cleveland has been resident of
Nevada for just forty years. He helped
lay the foundations of the State. From
the beginning he has been one of the
foremost citizens, in every capacity, OF
the State. He was for several terms a
member Of the Legislature there, was
once before candidate for Governor, but
was beaten through the churning OF
political parties because OF silver. He is
farmer and stockraiser, like his
opponent; his farm is about the most
valuable one in the State; his stock is
so fine that people who visit the place
come away declaring that there is not an
animal on the farm that is not a
thoroughbred. Mr.. Cleveland is one OF
the bravest, truest and most genial, but
at the the same time clear headed men
in the West. He knows all the people OF
his State and their wants.
The fight between him and John
Sparks for Governor will be battle
royal. So far as the principals are
concerned it will be an altogether
honorable one, for both are not only true
men, but personally they are close friends.
The result, whichever way the election
turns, will assure to Nevada frst-class
executive.

executive.

On returning to Reno from his trip
to the Carson, Walker and Humboldt
rivers with Director Walcott of the U. s.
Geological Survey, Congressman New
lands expressed himself as being greatly
pleased with the plans which have been
prepared by the engineers of the Geo
logical Survey for the storage and con-
seryation OF the waters OF this State.
They are full and comprehensive and
involve the largest agricultural develop
ment possible. He expresses the hope
that the waters users on these rivers
will organize Immediately and by the
appointment Of committees and the
organization OF water districts exhibit
to the government the spirit Of co-opera-
tion and helpfulness.

TONOPAH's VALUATION.

Tonopsh Miner, Sept. 10: Sheriff Tom
Logan has about completed his assess
ment and collection of taxes in Tonopah
and his books show an assessed valuation
Of real and personal property Of $195, ,754.
The taxes which have been collected on
this valuation amount to $14, 4,643.74. Not
to exceed 81, 900 has been overlooked in
making the assessment, and this will
likely be entered up before the end of the
month.
In addition to the above valuation
there can be added the bullion output,
which, though underestimated, will foot
up nearly 5000, 900 to date, and on which
taxes have been heretofore collected.
The amount which has thus far been
turned ipto the Nye county treasury from
the Tonopah levy, equals the average
yearly collections OF Nye county for sew
eral years past, and materially assisted
in putting the county on the highway Of
prosperity.

Phoebe. New, Sept. 20.-Clyde West,
who is interested with William Wheat
lev and J. b. McGee at Silver King
mining district, 45 miles northwest OF
here, came in yesterday for some sup
plies and reported the uncovering Of
an ore body nine feet in width in run
ming crosscut. 1t first opened out on
the point of an apex like the letter A
and in q distance of eight feet it had
widened out to nine feet.
He had no idea of its richness, but
brought in what he said was an aver
age sample OF the mine to have ii test
ed as to its value. as it looked like
black sulphurets. but it was in such
large quantities that it was not thought
possible it could be.
The returns gave 16,525 ounces silver
to the ton.
As soon as this became known there
was q stampede for the district, and as
there were only three available teams
in town they were pressed into service
aud were on the road inside Of an hour
after the result was known. There is
the greatest excitement here over the
strike. Word was telephoned to De
Lamar and parties are leaving there
also for the new strike.

Majel, the three months old daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. John Blue, of Richland,

in fact that the local physician had given
her up. Mr.. and Mrs. Westley Saunders

consent of her parents gave the little sufferer
a dose of it. The baby at once went to sleep
and when she awoke the next morning was
out of danger. This happened almost three
