Neyada's White Marble.

DIR. H.. j. Faust has just returned
from q trip to Deep Creek. bringing
with him a sample of white marble
from his quarries at Kingsley, New,
which, he says, contain mountains of
just such material. The marble takes
on a good polish and is noted for its
hardness and fine quality generally. 1t
has been pronounced by Mr.. Edison, to
whom a sample was submitted, superior
to everything but the African, which is
conceded the very best in the world.
Mr.. Faust's property is located al a
point within six miles of line surveyed
some years ago by the Denver & Rio
Grande but which was checked by the
Central Pacific. 1t is hoped by the
doctor and his associates that the line
may be taken up by the Goulds in
which event their property will be of
great value.-Salt Lake Herald.

The TonOpah Murder Case.

Sheriff Gushing, fearing that it would
jeopardize Smiths life, did not take
the murderer of young Dunn to Tono-
pah last week for his preliminary ex-
animation, and on Monday District
Attorney Richards was to have had an
order served on the Sheriff, directing
him to bring Smith here forthwith"
An nte-statement was hat the Sheriff
would ignore the order. 1t remains
then, says the Bonanza, for the matter
to go before Judge Breen of the Dis
trict Court on contempt OF mandamus
proceedings, and nc doubt an order will
issue from that Court directing that he
be brought here at once. Evidently a
play for time is being made by Smiths
attorneys.

%ILL-GOTTEN FORTUNES.

Retribution, in ~overtaking many of
the corruptionists and criminals of this
and other cities, has not defined a les
son so stern and complete that other
evilly disposed and gain-seeking men
will be deferred from attempting to
build machines, establish legislative
combines, intercept money belonging
to municipalities, and fitch financial
spoils from general revenues, tersely
comments the st. Louis Republic, and
continues The temptation will exist
as long as the people are confiding and
unconcerned, and the criminal practices
will not cease until the temptation is
removed.
Great fortunes have been founded
on fragrant attractions of h law.
Some highly respected families in the
United States have derived their stand

WALL STREET CAMPAIGN.

Talbot J. Taylor & Co, of New
York, made an assignment or July
"a. The largest unsecured creditor of
the firm is James r. Keene. for about
81, 500, 900. Mr.. Keene is the father
in-law of Talbot j. Taylor.
Just previous to the collapse of the
Taylor firm the old house of w. l..
Stowe & Co. went into the hands of an
assignee. thereby turning loose into the
street control of the Mexican Central
road. The liabilities amount to mill
ions.
Following these failures of last week
several brokerage firms of New York
aud Boston could not stand the strain
of the money market, and the expected
result has happened.
The suspensions were preceded by a
long contest cleverly engineered by the
money giants to quiet those who dared
oppose. The latest reports indicate an
easier feeling in the money and stocl
worlds.

NEVADA MINES.

Speaking of mining in Nevada to the
outsider is a dead language. They
think, and even Nevada has fallen into
error, that with the exhaustion of the
Comstock, Base Range and Austin, that
the mining of Nevada have
been fully exploited. But the people OF
the country have woke up. They have
discovered their mistake, and it is now
dawning on their minds that Nevada
is one of the most promising States IN
the Union for the investment of capital.
Where in the history of the world and
in what quarter of the globe is there
furnished such a history as to output
as Nevada with over 5000, 900 and all
from three or four districts. The ques-
ton arises, are the minerals confined to
three or four spots and were Virginia
City, Austin, Tuscarora and Eureka
mere accident and chance? The past
five years with DeLamar, Tonopah,
the Wedekind, Golconda and White
Pine shows that the other bonanzas lie
HIDDEN away in the lands. This State
has never been p~rospected. In early
days in the palmy excitement capital
came and Quilted the great lodes and
fed with the wealth to New York, San
Francisco and Paris. The departure OF
capital left Nevada i'll the hands of the
prospector; where faith, though abund-
amt, was of no avail as his means were
limited. Then came the decline OF
silver followed by a mining stagnation.
The mining world has now learned its
mistake. and is rapidly finding out that
Nevada which has yielded hundreds of
millions is still capable of yielding
many times more the yield Of the past.

"DOG IN THE MANGER" METHODS

If the mining laws of Nevada were
so amended as to limit one man to the
possession of not to exceed two claims,
until such claims had had location
work completed, it would be a wise
change for this district in particular,
where from ten to twenty claims have
been relocated by the same individuals
year after year for ten years past with
out a foot of location work having been
contaminated; merely to hold every
thing i'll sight against the time when
claims may be in demand in this dis
trict. This -''dog in the Manager

for speculative purposes does more to
injure the country than any other
system of robbery.-Cherry Greek

NATIONAL IRRIGATION ACT.

There is one principle of the National
Irrigation Act which was strongly op-
posed by all the great corporate inter-
terests and in regard to which there is
certain. even yet, to be a confess in
Congress and elsewhere, says the San
Francisco Chronicle. That principle is
contained in the paragraph which pro-
vides that no water shall be delivered
from any Government reservoir to more
than 100 acres of land in one owner
ship. That provision was probably in
serted to prevent spectators from COB.
bling up Government and likely to be
irrigated from a National reservoir, but
it applies in all cases. Under its oper-
alton the owner of any large tract of
land must subdivide and sell it before
water from Government works can be
used upon more than 160 acres.
A case has arisen in Arizona which is
likely to bring this principle very forci-
bly, to public attention. The Govern
ment is ready to impound the waters of
Salt and Tinto rivers in a natural res
ervoir site known as the Tinto basin,
from which it is expected that about
$50, 900 acres in the Salt River Valley
will some time be irrigated. Most Of
this land is owned i'll small tracts,
whose owners are now entering into
contracts with the GoverIa&ent to pay
their pro rata share of the cost of the
dam. One man, however, who owns
1000 acres, is anxious for the water but
objects to sell. In this case-ard it
will be found a common one-the
owner of the land is a stockman who
wishes to grow forage for his own stock.
Under the law he cannot get the water.
The influence of the law will be to
compel him to sell his land to settlers
and then buy his forage from them.
The rancher will say that he owns the
land, and also owns the stock, aud that
he ought to have the water to produce
the forage. And upon these lines will
com a contest.

TO PROTECT HORSES FROM FLIES.

The press is publishing the following
remedies to protect horses from flies.
which are SO bothersome at this season
Of the year:
Rub the horse, especially the parts
most subjected to attack, with a little
concentrated oil of laurel. There is not
the slightest danger in its use, and the
cost is small.
Asafetida. l pound vinegar, q pint /;
water, 1 pint. If horses are well washed
with this. not a fly will settle upon
them, as the asafetida will drive them
away. 1t has no deleterious qualities
as an external application.
Take common smart-weed and make
a strong decoction by boiling in water.
When the infusion is cold, apply to the
legs, neck and other parts of the body
with a brush Oh sponge. Neither flies
nor insects will trouble the animals for
twenty. four hours.
