BILE. Even at this time an occasional
lone hen is seen by a rancher now and
then.
Experience and observation have
taught Mr.. Losekamp that of the two
birds, the Monaghan pheasant is bet
ter adapted to this latitude and alti-
tude. They are hardy and vigorous
birds and possess the ability to rus
tie" to a degree denied even prairie
chickens and grouse, being in that
respect preferable to quails, but until
the state attempts their propagation
and protection, Mr.. Losekamp is of the
opinion it would be useless for an in
dividual or association to make the
trial. If planted by the state and
protected by stringent laws, he thinks
the game hogs would leave them
alone, is they would probably have
more fear of the state than of any indi-
viduals composing it.

COAL NEAR ToMOPAH.
An Important Discovery Near the b.
nanza Mining Camp.

U0UAA S"Iufts8 A0UVPs
The Reno Journal, through its cor
respondent, gives the news that a fine
body Of coal has been discovered near
Tonopah, and from the development,
it looks like one of the biggest things
yet uncovered out that way:
The new coal fields lie in Esmeralda
county along the line of the new Tono-
pah railroad about 80 miles southeast
Of Sodaville, and about 35 miles north
west of Tonopah. They are near the
Candelaria road to Tonopah.
1t has been known for years tina,
there was coal groupings in this Sec
ton, but only during the past year
has there been any extended develop
ment Of the territory.
1t has been only recently that pros
pectors and miners have had the tenn
Gritty to venture into the hills away
from water and all habitation. But all
of this is fast changing, and the result
that the country is being carefully
gone over that has never been pros.
pected before
The coal lands lie on a high bench
with small range of mountains to
the north, while all the known veins
dip away from the hills into dry val
ley to the south, where abundant and
good water is to be found at a few
feet from the surface.
A few claims of 160 acres each
have been located, but there are sew
! eral thousand acres of gronud that are
i known to contain coal which have nc,
yet been located. Considerable OF it
! IS not even surveyed by the govern.
| ment
The vein is the most -omising part
Of the developed section on the sur
| face ranges from feet wide to Is
feet at a depth Of 154 feet. This is or
the claim owned and developed by H
&c. Petty, who lives near Coal Wells
which place is a stage station on thu
desert between Candelaria and Tono
pah, The walls at the bottom of tn.
incline shaft are of slate and are tw:
feet wide, while the coal is IA fee
wide at the fnce Of the drift at thi
point. The Coal is bituminous and Z
high quality, good for both steam an
cooking purposes.
Samples Of the coal have recent
been brought to Tonopah, where tess
have been made and the coal has bee
found to be excellent for domesti
purposes, being very clean and leavin
q clear, white ash.

THE CARNIVAL.

Pretty Good Purse.
Yesterday the committee that was
appointed to gather in the funds for
the Carnival that is to take place in
this city during the Fourth of July
week, made it's rounds. The result
was the most gratifying to say the
least. The committee visited mnat IT
the business men of this place and be-
fore nightfall they had nearly 5000
gathered up, There was general feel
ing along the business line of Carson
that the Carnival is to be made the
city and the merchants and business
men came to the center in a manner
that is most flattering
Not alone are the business men in
this line. Governor Sparks has sub
scribed $3.50 to the fun while several
other private parties have gone down
into their jeans and have added hun
dreG to the effort that is calculated to
give life to the city and help the en-
tire western section
One of the objects Of the Carniv al
is to bring the people in at a season
Of the year when the western section
Of this State can be shown to advan-
tage. During the season proposed the
weather is generally at it's best, Carson
is respondent in her green lawns aud
handsome trees and the people from
the desert sections can come and rest
their eyes and be relieved of the mo-
notony Of the sagebrush and the aka
ii fats.
! From the amount Of money already
promised it seems that Carson is in
! q way to Guido all efforts il the Carni-
val line on former occasions, both in
this city and other towns. She is bet
ter adapted to give such an entertain
ment than her neighbors, as her
streets are in such form as they can
be given over 10 the merry making
without interfering with the rest OF
the business in the town. Her homes
offer resting places, while the Capitol
square is really the only park in this
State.
The word was given out come tim.
ago that Carson would entertain thu
people at large on this occasion AM
from all appearances it seems tina
she is to Guido herself. The time
. net too far distant to figure on and tn
, warm days that have started have II
