ToDAY,s RICE.
Il Will scertaily BE q Hot Contest
From the Start.

This is the day of all days in Carson
City for the season. The Capitol City
Wheelmen and the Carson City Wheel
men will contest for the championship
OF the Coast. which means that the
people and those interested in bicy-
Gle races will see all kinds of sport.
The visiting team has a record and
should the Carson boys manage to
hold them level of defeat them there
will be claim for championship go
up that can not be disputed.
Last evening big crowd of Carson
ties departed on a special train to
meet the visiting team and escort
the boys to this city. Aside from the
home team and the visitors the band
was in attendance which rendered the
scene one Of activity and jollity.
The Journal of yesterday said that
Wing and Hilton would not be allowed
to enter the race, and while the Car
son boys insisted that they should
ride there was general feeling that
something might happen if this was
insisted upon. Late yesterday after
noon word was received from Mr.. Van
Etten who is at headquarters that
Wing and Hilton could both ride in the
race as such an order had been issued
from the home Office of the associa
ton. This means that Carson will
have one of the fastest and best teams
that she has yet produced to face the
strangers, and will result in a bitter
contest
The Carson Wheelmen naturally
feel elated over the news and the de
cision of the head secretary shows
that there has been a serious mis-
understanding somewhere along the
line of not Misrepresentation.
With the arrival of the Sacramento
Wheelmen there was a general JOLT
faction along the line. The boys are
husky lot and when the Carson boys
try them out they will fad that the
team is here for business. 1t matters
not which way the race goes the Wis
itors will be given a good time and
they are evidently out for it. Mr.. Van
Etten accompanied the boys up and
insists that Wing and Hilton will be
among the performers today.
There is going to be a race and 9
hot one, SO get out your can and joir
the procession that will file to the
track today. Considerable money is
being put up on the outcome with the
bets are even on both sides.

was meant to drive it.
Power drills, water drainage pipe,
air pipes and thousands of dollars
worth of tools were left in the tunnel
or cast aside when the final breaking
up came. The miners hurried to other
places of note where mining could be
carried on and the camp in a few
months was as deserted as it is to-
day. The material has either been
stolen or carried of and is now in
use in other sections.
Left This Behind.
After the breaking uL of the camp
there was an article that the miners
and those who followed. leftbehing,
and this was the powder magazine.
In this magazine there is stored today
fifteen tons of power, giant, with fuse
and caps. The glycerine has seeped
dition that no one cares to trifle with
it. Just how this escaped the hands
of some one who likes to see fireworks
is not known but the powder is there
for anyone who has the nerve to
move it. Some one had the nerve to
tear the door from the house and the
party has free access if he has pluck
to carry off the explosives.
At Loope, or Monitor, the same ex-
travagan and expenditure is in evil
denc. Tunnels thousands of feet long
can be found on either side The big
porphyry hills are drilled full of holes
that cut wide open hole in the treas
ury OF good old Englands coin There
was enough English money used in
this section to carry on a war for sew
eral months, and the worst of it all,
the Englishmen received no bullion
values in return. Every Superintend-
ent that went into this section tried
to Guido his neighbor in extravaganza
and from appearances each made sue
cess in his line. The decayed ruins
of mining ventures can be found all
along the river. Air pipes, drain pipes
broken down mills and useless engines
decorate the sides of the big hills, all
monuments to a folly of men, who
mined without knowledge of what they
were after, and monuments to the
wealth of British money advancers.
The failure of the many projects in
Alpine county resulted in a general
determination on the part of the Brit
ish people to keep out of the Amer
lean mines for a good many years.
1t is only of recent years that a min
ing venture of any kind sounded good
to foreign capital but they are taking
a shy glance at the workings of years
ago.
Today there is a bright prospect
of revival in these districts that cost
so much money and resulted in so lit
tie production. A few mines are now
turning out bullion. The mines are
being worked in a modern way, the
men in charge are miners and are
working to make the properties pay.
This is having a good effect, and with
the Loope property on the bullion pro-
ducing basis the future of Alpine coun-
ty is brighter than at any time since
Chalmers and his associates buried
the millions of English money in the
hills of old Alpine.

, now coming to the front as a mining
section and which promises to be the
next center of mining industry can
boast of more monuments of folly in
the mining way than any section that
can be pointed to in this Western
country.
Silver Mountain.
In the early days some Norweigen
prospectors uncovered what is now
known as Silver Mountain. Specimen
of ore brought in proved to be high
, in value and a mad rush was made
for the camp. Before the people rea-
lized it, a camp of goodly proportions
started and the wild times of the
Western mining camps followed. There
were stores. saloons. residences and
| in fact substantian town to greet the
people when Chalmers, an Englishman,
had his English hackers producing hard
Englis pounds to carry on the work
that was proposed.
When Chalmers purchased the mines
the old l. X. l.. and ExchecQuer, it
was being worked through shaft and
considerable bullion was taken out.
! Some of the ore removed from the
shaft was exceedingly rich but as the
water was coming in Chalmers de-
cided to run tunnel into the noun
! tain and tap the ledge at depth of
! nearly a thousand feet. He went to
j England raised the necessary fee and
! started to work He planned on a
mammoth scale The tunnel was cut
9x11 feet in the clear and two mules
4 could pass each other in the workings
j Pending the development of the tun-
mel Chalmers erected a mill of twenty
! five stamps. The very best material
| that could be purchased was put in to
! this work. Jude Arnot's father after
| words erected another mill, almost a
duplicate, and all before the tunnel
had tapped the ledge. The mills were
erected pending the uncovering of the

over four thousand feet and when his
efforts seemed ready for drowning

the works, as the funds had given out.

REED AMI THE PRESIDENCY.
From the Boston Herald.

Thomas B. Reed, like ex-President
Harrison, hasdied prematurely. Both
were of a superior order Of intellect,
out Mr.. Reed was the better fitted to
he a leader and controller Of men.
Locality made Harrison President,
as Reed had to overcome the disad-
vantage OF locality to be considered
in that connection. Reed also had
the personal popularity Of MI. Nc
kinney among his associates, and his
remarkable skill as a politician and
that Of the men enlisted in his SER
vice with which to contend in rival
ry. Men Of strong will, like Reed,
are not, as a rule, selected as the
candidates of parties for the presi-
dency. The only one thus deliber-
ately chosen since Jackson was
Henry Clay, and he was defeated of
election. Grant had will, but he
| was apt to subordinate it to those
: about him, and he was selected sole
~ tor his military service. CleVe-
land had more of the Jackson in him
than any man who has succeeded
"OId Hickory" in the Presidents
chair, but the politicians didn't know
it when they first made Cleveland
their candidate. It was plain enough
in the case Of Reed-too plain to
make his presidential prospects
promising. He doubtless shared the
ambition Of the great men who had
gone before him for the office, but
his later independence put him fur
Their away than ever from it, unless
some popular uprising had pitched
upon him as its candidate-whicf
was not probable.

Col. John s.. Cunningham On the
Conditions Facing the Tobacco
Growers of the State.

| Raleigh News & Observer.
Col. John S. Cunningham, who
was a visitor in Raleigh yesterday,
said to a reporter of the News and
! Observer last night that he was much
pleased with the large attendance of
the farmers at Rocky Mount a short
time ago at the meeting of the North
Carolina Tobacco Growers Associa-
ton. He believes that the farmers
will see the necessity of raising their
supplies, the meat and horses and
mules at home. He said:
"With the present high prices for
everything used on the farm, and
with low price for tobacco, the future
will not be promising to the farmers.
The press of the State is using its eff
forts and influence to eillightcn the
farmers and induce them to act wise
ly, and not wait to act ulltil necessity
coInpels them. Tobacco is still sell
ing WELL" the Colonel said, 'but no
D.n can tell how to plant a crop and
TO what expense to go if the price is
to decline as reported in the next few
months, as it has done OF late"
What about our next Legisla-
ture," was asked Of him.
"Well sir" he replied, "the peo-
pie are much stirred up about taxes
and our lawmakers [ know are
earnestly considering this question
so important to all our people. They
are North Carolinians, and they will
do the best for the people and the
State"
Col. Cunningham left on an early
train this morning for Warrenton,
! and after a short visit there will go
! to his home in Person. He is TAX
ing a deep interest in the Tobacco
Growers Association and is daily re-
ceiving and replying to numerous
letters concerning the best interests
