Senator Pritchard, of North Carolina,
AMI Senator McLaurin, of South Car
oiina, the latter convert or peryert,
made speeches at an imperial gathering
4 New York last Wednesday, and pre-
sented novel arguments for holding
on to the Philippines. They did not
declare that the Filipinos were unfit for
independence, but based their opposi-
ton to surrender of the islands on a
simple argument that the United States
needs somebody to whom to sell its cot
ton. Therefore they held that it was
Southern question: cotton State Is
sne-and We must go on killing Fill
pinos and devastating their country in
order TO sell them cotton. Bat Eng
land takes more of American cotton in
a day then the Filipinos are likely to
take In ten years The argument is an
insult to common sense.

IMPORTANT DISCOVERY
NEAR pucKWATER.

Many important discoveries have been
made by accident. Rich mines Of gold,
silver, copper and other metals have been
discovered by chance, stumbled upon
while looking for something else or at
tending 10 some other business, and i'm
mense fortunes have been made out Of
such discoveries.
Something of this kind happened last
Winter. A sheepherder while tending
his sheep some distance from Duckwater,
Nye county, Nevada, discovered q de-
posit Of potassium and sodium nitrate,
commonly called nitrate Of potash and
soda.
A sample Of crude nitre analysed at
Stockton, California, gave 72.4 per cent Of
pure nitrate Of potash and soda, or 1,448
pounds to the ton, the value Of which at
six cents a pound wholesale would be
1868 a ton. The cost Of mining and re-
ducing would be very low.
w. II. II. Rhodes Of Stockton, CAL,
G.. s. Garcia and E.. S. Harrington Of
Elko, and the ~discoverer, have formed a
company for the development of the
property and have men at work now for
that purpose.
The deposit is located six miles from
Eugene Locke's place, and 20 miles south
west OF Duckwater. Mr.. Harrington and
Mr.. Rhodes left Eureka Wednesday for
the property. taking John Pardy with
them to survey the ground and definitely
locate the claim.
This discovery may prove to be ven
richer than Tonopah, inasmuch as the
cost Of reducing will be infinitely less. At
present the main ledge Of the deposit at
a depth of six feet is 211a feet in width.
Who says that Nevada is not coming
to the front? The Battle-born State may
yet be a good place to stay in and g safe
place to tie to. Hurrah for Nevada
