AilEyes on Nevada

"All eyes Of the mining world are on
Nevada" That is the expression used
on eacb and every hand by a number of
capitalists who are at present in this
city, In the East, they say the mining
possibilities of Nevada are the main top
les of conversation among mining men
in general and capitalists in particular,
and that Nevada cannot be prevented
from attaining that position among the
States of the Union which her mining
possibilities entitle her TO. This is not
the opinion of the high heeled, high
booted expert, but the firm belief of men
whose individual fortunes far exceed the
milion-dollar mark.
In Carson City to-day are men repre-
senting something over sixty million
dollars. They are bere in their own in-
terests, having been attracted here by
the indefatigable efforts of James A.
Yerington, our representative to the
Pam American Exposition. 1t was in his
olnce ~ DuHdlo thdt the 4nNiAibIty
Mining and Milling Company was incor-
porated and which has done so much to
bring the section OF the State wherein
the company's mines are located to tie
attention OF Eastern capital.
An Appeal reporter interviewed Mr..
Yerineton yesterday regarding the pip
ing of water into Tonopah and he said
that the purpose Of the Tonopah Water
and Power company WAS to pipe water
95 miles from Twin river, Nye county,
at the head Of Smoky Valley, to the
town OF Butler and later to any adjacent
mining camps that may require water,
electric power for the reduction of ores.
The reduction plant to be constructed
at Tonopah will have "A capacity of $50
tons per day. The construction of the
entire plant, which includes pipe line,
power house for electrical transmission
etc, will be complete in every detail, en-
bracng the most modern machinery to
date.
Mr.. Knowles Croskey, President of
the keystone Realty company, and Mr..
Darlington, director of the West End
Trust Company, are here in the interests
OF the bondholders, having accompanied
J. G. Ralston, the company's hydraulic
engineer over the proposed line of pipe
into Tonopah.
Regarding the Consolidated Esmeralda
Mines Company, Mr. Yerington said that
the company, having acquired the Pam
leo group OF mines, the La Panta group
aud five outside claims situated in Haw-
thorne mining district, proposed to start
Immediately the erection of a 20 stamp
mill, handling all the ores OF the district
and a pipe line 10 miles in length con
veying the waters from Walker river
range 20 the mines. j. 4. Duraey,
President Of the company and j. II.
Gardper, fiscal agent, are here assisting
in making arrangements. Mr. Boss, a
well known mill wright is negotiating
and submitting specifications for the
erection OF the Esmeralda mill. having
accompanied the party to Hawthora ne
district for that purpose. Il. X. Colcord

Must Stop Card
Playing.

Julius Kruttschnitt, general manager
of the Southern Pacific Company, has
Issued pronunciamento that is design
ed to do away with card playing on the
company's trains. Kruttschnitt does
not look with favor upon card playing
any more than he does upon the main
tena nee of bars upon the Oakland boats,
aud, as one item in bis scheme for im-
proving the tram service and enhan ,ing
the comfort and convenience of passen-
gers, he has determined that card play
ing shall be suppressed. He has accord
ingly issued an order which Officially
frowns upon the pastime. The order is
directed to the Denison News Company,
which caters to the necessities of card
players on the Southern Pacific trains,
and henceforth the train boys wilt not
be permitted to ply their hitherto pro-
fitable practice of organizing card par
ties to play for cigars and cooling bever-
ages, or to encourage card playing in
any form.
The effect of the new order will be
particularly felt on the Coast division
trains, on which, more than on any other
trains, card games have been the sole
advertisement OF many regular patrons
OF the road for years past. The order
will have the effect of curtailing the
monthly earnings of every news agent
on the division from S25 TO $40 month,
and the news agents are accordingly up
in arms over what they characterize as
the needless interference of the com
panies's officials. The officials justify the
order. however, by declaring that the
card games on the coast line trains have
of late assumed the character of nuis-
anee, and that if the suppression OF card
playing works any hardships on the
news agents they have brought it upon
themselves,
The story goes that a certain promi-
nent official of the Southern Pacific dis.
covered only few days ago that the
card games were n nuisance and ought
TO be suppressed. The identity of the Of
iieial is not mentioned, but it is limited
that it was no less a parsonage than the
general manager himself, whose home Is
at Burlingame. He was asked by the
news agent of the train, who was ac-
auainted with the railroad official, If he
would like to take hand at whist. The
railroad official declined, whereupon the
news agent slapped him familiarly on
the back and said: Come on, old man,
be a good fellow" The next day Gen
eral Manager Kruttschnitt's order sup
pressing card playing made its appear
ance, and during the past two or three
days tie card players who frequent the
smoking cars of the trains on the coast
division have been put to the necessity
of employing other means of willing
away the time during their trips up and
down the road.
1t is explained that the order of Gen.
eral Manager kruttschnitt is not design
ed 10 correct the morals or manners of
passengers, and that passengers will not
be denied the privilege of playing cards
il they see fit. All news agents on the
company's trains, however, will be pre-
vented, under pain of dismissal, from
having anything to do with card playing
or in any way facilitating card games.-

Tokeena, March 31.--As we have moi
had any news from our little burg ia
some time we will try to drop few dots
now to keep ourselves from being for
gotten entirely.
Farmers are having very bad spring

and some corn planted. A little garden
ing has also been done by some.
There were several from Cross Roads
that attended the Sunday School Con
vention at Westminster Sunday, but very
few went on the days preceding on ac-
count Of the weather.
On last Friday Miss Maude Stribling,
one of Westminster's fair young ladies,
and one who has proven herself very
teaching for us, closed the school at this
place. Through her efforts the children
seem to have made considerable progress
and all have fallen very much In love
with her as teacher. Many of the patrons
were there to express their gratitude to
her for the interest she had taken in the
children. We would gladly welcome
Miss Maude back into our midst again.
Preparation is being made to add
another room to our school building
which we very much need.
Miss Lestie Moore has been very ill
with measles, but she is now improving.
Mrs OFT. Phillips has been very i'll.
We are glad to see her out again.
Mrs. p. Ell. Isbell gave quilting one
day last week, where many enjoyed a day
working and chatting, although the wea-
ther was too unlikely for all that were
invited to attend.
With best wishes for The Courier.

Special Term OF Court for Oconee.

Governor McSweeney has received a
request from the Bar of Oconee asking
for special term of Court for Oconee
county during the month of May. Chief
Justice McIver has been asked to name
some one learned in the law to hold the
special term of Court. The following
very good reasons have been assigned foI
holding the special term of Court: COW.
ing to the invalidity of the jury laws we
were unable to try any jury cases at the
last fall term of the Court and the entire
time of the just past spring term was
taken up in the trial of cases on the
Sessions side of the Court, 80 that we
have had no term at which civil cases
5riable by jury could be heard since
the spring term of 1901, and there will
be no regular term at which such cases
can be tried until next November. In
our opinion the trial of jury causes will
occupy about one week."

EASIER OPENINGS.
walhaIIa Now Favored With Three Good
faiilinary establishments.

For tho first time in tho history of the
town the ladies of Walhalla have the
privilege of selecting millinery from
three stores, in each of which can be
found handsome and attractive stock.
ItAspeaks well for the town that her
business is growing, and the millinery
houses all enjoyed q good patronage last
week at the Easter openings-the Begin
ming of the season for this particular line.
Passing through the large dry goods
and grocery establishment of Mr.. O. g..
Jaynes few days ago we were struck
with the beautiful and artistic display
Of his millinery and ladies' goods. Good
taste and care were exercised in the pur-
chase of his goods for the spring and sum-
suaily we'll selected. Mr.. Jaynes's store
is o popular place with the ladies and it
will be doubly SO this season. Those who
go there will have the assurance that he
has the newest goods and latest styles to
select from, and, further, will have the
advice and assistance of Mrs. O. G..
Jaynes and Miss Maud Kay, ladies of fine
taste, in making their selections. His
millinery is pronounced unusually hand
some by all the ladies who have visited
his store. Go and see for yourself,
Messrs. Seaborn Bros, who have re-
Gently opened thriving business in the
millinery line, made an attractive display
of millinery and fancy notions, and their
store was visited by large number OF
ladies, admiring the variety aud excellent
quality of Eheir stock. The millinery
department of this firm is presided over
by Miss Marie Starbuck, of Atlanta, who
has made many friends here since heI
arrival, and her taste and ability as q
milliner of experience we're evident, not
only in tho attractive goods offered to
the public, but In the neat appearance OF
her department..
Mrs. Mamie Barron has also recently

valuable ainio ssalA carolina collsas.

The South Carolina College has been
most fortunate in getting file Of The
! South Carohnian, 1S64-65. It may be
/ very easily Imagined that it waa obtained
through Capt. VIM. A. Courtenay. the
one man who has done more THAI per-
! such valuable records. There Is on the
front OF the volume this plain statement
of facts: -
THE SOUTH cARoLINIAN, 1se4-85.
This incomplete, yst most valuable file
OF newspapers was saved by the late j.
y. Simpson, of Anderson, s.. c., through
| the last months OF "the war between the
States,n and tho disastrous yeess that
ensued, and later became the property
OF his son, w. ID. Simpson.
These papers, In great part, cover the
period in 1s84-85 when the late Henry
Timrods poet, was the editos, and of
course contain many of his prose articles.
The undersigned had the loan of them
during the recent "Timrod revivsln and
suggested to Mr.. Simpson that good
deal of interesting war news could be
therein preserved IL tho papers were
chronologically. arranged, made up into
a volume and deposited in the library of
the South Carolina College, in Columbia,
where it would be- permanently cared for
and be accessible for reference. The
undersigned proposed that il Mr.. Simp-
son would 80 dispose of the newspapers
he would have them arranged, strongly
bound and delivered to the president of
, the college for its library. To this Mr..
Simpson oheerfully assented and this
record is made to accompany tho volume.
The office building of the Carolinian
and its entire plant, including it's invalu-
able newspaper files, were destroyed by
fire on the 17th-18th of February, 1855,
in the general conflagration of Columbia,
whiln occupied by Gen. Shi;aSfn AMI army
of invasion. This limited file of the
paper is likely to be the only collection
at present in existence.
VIM. A. Courtenay.
"Innisfallen," Newry, s. O., March, 1902.
1t may be noted that this file of news.
papers makes folio volume in size,
1877 by 1871. The binding is in Russia
leather, with canvas sides, which is for
durability, not show. Printing paper in
the war time was very inferior and by
way of strengthening stiff white paper
has been inserted at intervals through
the volume, and of course aids materially
in the preservation of the papers.
Capt. Courtenay has seen that the
valuable volume is placed where it. will
be of most service and, in addition, he
has seen that the papers have been put
into the best possible shape and that
they are 80 bound as to be most lasting.
