interest. The Journal sounds a
note of warning to western Ne
vada, tinged with fear, when 1t
says:
Now is the time for western Ne
vada towns to act. A well authen-
ticated rumor crops up from time
to time that a railroad is to be built
from Austin to Tonopah by the
Nevada Midland Company, a group
of Salt Lake capitalists. The pur-
pose of this road is to defect bust
ness from this great new camp to
the metropolis in Utah.
All western Nevada should take
an interest in a movement, not TO
check-mate the plans of the Ne
yada Midland, but to take action
tending to hold the traffic from
and to this camp where it now ex-
lists and where it should remain.
This can only be done by the
construction of q railroad from
| Sodaville OF Candelaria to the new
diggings. 1t would be a project
easy of accomplishment, The
camp is only sixty miles from
either of the mentioned points on
the G. & G. The grade is an easy
one and there is water at intervals
along the way.
The Southern Pacific should
have the advantages of a road of
this sort laid before it in the most
glowing and plausible terms. The
blilding of the Nevada Midland
would be a severe blow to both
the G. & G. and the Y. & L. as
we'll as to the main line as it would
even decrease the passenger re-
turns of that road by the fares be-
tween the Midland's junction and
Reno. This is a matter that would
be taken up by a State Board of
Trade, if one only existed. 1t is
now a matter for the papers of
western Nevada to agitate and all
should stand together solidly, as
this condition of affairs affects us

Everything Looks
Good.

Revenue Collector Blakeslee was
in this city yesterday says the
Carson Appeal. He has made a
trip through the State and states
that it is looking better to-day in
every section than it has in twenty
years. He says that during the
next year Nevada will gain more
in population than in many years
and all the mining districts will
be producing ore. Even the great
railroads are looking to this State
and the way they r dropping
capital into the State indicate that
they know a good thing when they
see it. In speaking of Tonopah
where he has been on an official
visit he contends that ten thous-
and people will be living in that
vicinity before tho Summer is
over. Nye county, that has been
in the background for the past de-
cade, is destined to lead the State
in population and riches. New
districts are being uncovered in
other sections that will also adj TO
the population and the wealth Of
the State.

This ranch comprises several thou
sand acres of hay land and pastur-
age and is a valuable property.
His cattle holdings in Humboldt
county were very large. Mr.. Bliss
was also the owner of extensive
stock ranches in Tulare, MERGED
and MADEIRA counties in California.
He was able to give his business
interests much attention up to
within a short time before his
death and made several trips to
Nevada. Several years ago he was

The Senate has approved a reso-
luton to change Inaugural day
from March 18th to the last Thurs
day in April. This would length
en- the term of President Roose-
welt and the present Congress by
several weeks, but it would avoid
the Indictment weather usually
prevalent the first part of the
month of March and place the in
augural ceremony, which is largely
an outdoor spectacle, at a more
favorable season.
The suggestion has often been
made to change the date, but the
present Congress is the first to
give it official countenance.

ALL said j, III. Durkee, president
of the Consolidated Esmeralda
Mines Company, this morning in
this city.
I'VE have heard SO much about
Nevada in the East the last year
that we thought we were prepared
for anything the State could offer
us, but | must say that half has
not been told. You have a won
derful State and it is going to be
developed extensively in a very
short time"
Another thing we shall do is to
erect two fine bath houses for the
use of the men employed, and
there will be no work on Sunday
not particularly because Sunday
is Sunday, but because six days in
the week is enough for any man to
work"
All three gentlemen are loaded
with souvenirs and say that they
will return to this city during the
year. They represent a consider
able aggregation of Eastern capt.
tai and enterprise, and it may be
depended that they will do excel
lent missionary work among their
friends at home.
Mr.. Durkee, accompanied by J.
N. Gardner and T. H. F%earey, all
of New York, and j. A. Yerington
of this city, have just returned
from their first trip to the mining
property they purchased some
months ago. There are thirteen
mines in the group.
"Mr. Yerington did not tell us
half of it's real worth. We are
well satisfied and will begin opera
tions within thirty days. By the
way, we are going to try some ex-
periments and believe they will be-
well received by the miners. In
the first place, your State needs
population, and so far as possible
we shall encourage the employ
ment of miners with families, and
that families may be brought to
the camp We shall erect a number
of comfortable cottages that the
men may have as long as they
work for us. They will not be
obliged to occupy them, but they
will be there for the families of
those who wish them"

Keeper Murray started on an inves-

nook and corner was searched, and at
last Murray thrust his, hand into his

nobody was hiding therein. One by

WANT FOREIGN ENTRIES.

London, Dec 3.-There has been no
change in the situation in regard to the
new rule which is to be proposed at
the meeting Of the Henley regatta
stewards on December Is. This pro-
position is to the effect that any crew
which within four weeks of the re
gatta has been coached, controlled or
trained by any one who is not an anna
teur shall not be permitted to partici-
pate in the annual races at Henley. It
is obviously q move on the part of
those who were recently defeated in
their attempt to exclude foreign en-
tries from the Henley races.
English amateur clubs do not use
professional aid in rowing at all, while
foreign clubs almost invariably do So
But nine out Of ten English amateur
scullers are coached by a professional
Scullers, however, are not mentioned
in the proposed rule, which refers only
to eight-oared,, four-oared and pair
oared-crews. Rowing men are opposed
to the policy of excluding foreign
crews at Henley and are now working
against the new proposal, which they
hope to defeat.
