was short, sharp and decisive
enough to satisfy the most specu-
lative cast of mind. The mines
were exceedingly rich while they
lasted, and produced bullion in
great abundance.
The discovery of the mineral
wealth had the effect to develop
the agricultural resources of the
county, and the fertile lands of
Spring, Steptoe and Snake Val
leys were sought out and brought
into requisition, and made to sup
ply the mining camps with every
cereal, vegetable and fruit which
northern climate can produce.
Notwithstanding the depres-
sion in all kinds of business that
followed the failure of the mines,
and the marked decline in popu-
lation which the county expert
enced at that time, the past few
years has shown new develop
ments that promise to rival those
of early days. Recent discoveries
in the vicinity of Ely, now the
county seat, and Osceola, give
credence to the firm belief that
White Pine county is to expert
ence mining boom far ahead of
any other mining section in the
State. Free milling gold is be-
ing uncovered, and old abandon
ed claims, given up as worthless
long years ago, are now giving
up their hidden treasure under
the workings of more modern
machinery. White Pine will yet
show to the careful investor the
millions of untold wealth that
lies buried within her boundaries.
To the methodical and conserva-
tive worker these riches must
come, as the recently made dis
coveries show that the county
contains the richest mineral belt

Bill Badly got yanked up be-
for Judge jerks this week for
shouting for Hearst. He was al
lowed to go, but was told that in
the future his shouting must be
confined to whooping it up for
White Pine county. He was
given to understand that this

Hearst was.
Lialac Held, the heavyweight
beauty of the camp, while stroll

of the camp last Sunday, fell into
a prospect hole half full of
water. Being so fat, her weight
forced the water to the top and
she Aoated out. A number of

A Few Lines About
White Pine County

The area of White Pine county
is 5000 square miles, and previ-
Gus to April, 1869, was a part of
Lander county. The mining dis
trict from which it receives its
name was organized in the au-
tumn of 1865 and was so called
from the predominant forest
trees covering a lofty and strong
range of mountains extending
100 miles north and south.
A. J. Leathers, Thomas Muir
ply, Morrill, and others, who
were the 0pioneer prospectors,
gave but little attention to the
district, until in 1868, following
the directions of an Indian, they
explored the naked summit of
Treasure Hill, and there found
that extraordinary body of min
eral wealth which soon after led
to the concentration of popula-
ton in that quarter, and the or
ganization of a new county. The
news of this wonderful discovery
went, as though borne on the
wings of wind, to every city,
town and camp in the State.
Population gathered in, and in
overwhe ming numbers. So great
was the excitement during the
year 1868, that every man who
could get there. went to the
White Pine district to examine
the Eberhardt mine and the vast
wealth of the district.
The WHITE PINE NEWS of
March %, 1874, in description
of this period. said:
white Pine at it's birth, six
years since, was a prodigy. The
chloride ores of the Hidden
Treasure and the Eberhardt were
unknown to the North American
continent, and had a parallel
only in the Chanarcillo and kin
dred Chillian mines. Their rich
ness running into the thousands,
and their docility extending
nearly to assay value, excited
the greed or interest of all with
in hearing. These, together with
the misapprehension of their ex-
tent, caused by the profuse ex-

The Miracle Play.

The horse-sense reporter took in the
so-called English importation of the
middle-ages or 18th century vaudeville.
1t was a foregone conclusion that it
would be regular undertaker's IS pink
tea. But no one supposed that it would
be used in future to frighten children
into being good. The play opens with
death coming on the stage dressed in
pieces of old moldy tombstone, rotten
coffin boards and other cheerful decor
atoms. He talked in a peculiar buzz
saw contralto, and after a speech by
some one, put on the playbill as
Good" who shouted in hoarse voice
from private box, Everybody bobbed

like a beer-sign Gambrinus, and soon
disclosed that his being good fellow
depended on a prosperity administra-
tion. Relatives likewise passed up the
childish Everyman, and his banker

his collaterals. Then Everyman gets
next to his collarbone, and Knowledge

enough to scare unborn children out of
their wits, and her companions, find
the undertaker's 's bill too high and aban-
don their friend at the gate Of the Gem

out. The orchestra had a night off.
The stage was set with paper trees and
cotton oranges, and some very modern
