Kansas and Its Railroad Law.

Judge Dale is making his campaign
on railroad rates. His speeches art
devoted to the great need Of SwipinC
the railroads Of Kansas and giving tt
the state some new tangled Legislation
such as Texas or some other back
woods state has. The last railroad
law placed ON the statute books BY
the Fusion crowa was q farce ant

railroad law passed bya Republican
legislature and signed by q Rspubli'
can governor. The Eldorado Repub'

with the statutes Of other states on
the single theme Of hauling hogs to

JOHN SPARKS FOR SENATOR.
Governor is Endorsed by the Nye
County Central Committee.

County Central Committee.
The following open letter from the
Nye County Central Committee of the
Union Labor Party is self explana-
tory:
TCnopah, New
To Hon. John Sparks,
Governor Of Nevada:
In the latter part of January last,
the Central Committee Of the Ne
County Union Labor Party determined
by unanimous vote to use every legiti-
mate means in our power to procure
the election of your Exce,lency as
United States Senator at the next reg
ular session of the legislature and pub
lished our determination in one of the
principal journals of the State.
This action was taken without your
knowledge Or consent and was basel
upon principles more important than
mere personal preference
We hold that the best interests {
the workers are the best interests Of
the State and recognize in yourself d
public seryent devoted to the welfa, e
Of both.
We believe that United States SEN
ators should be elected by popular
vote and as the nearest approach to
that desired condition we announce
our preference among possible candi-
dates for that exalted position, long
prior to the election of the legislature,
whose province shall be to choose be-
tween them in order that the members
of that body may be protected from
the charge of corruption by the faith
full execution CT the expressed desire
| of the majority of the people.
We especially desire that our next
representative in the United States
Senate should be man with the odor-
of Nevada's soil upon his clothes, one
whose residence and interests both So
cial and industrial, are closely ide;l-
titled with our rapidly developing
State, our choice we believe has fallen
upon one who amply fulfills these re
quirements, and although no com
municatiOn Of any character has pass.
| ed between your Excellency and this
committee, we will, for the reason
above mentioned, strive throughout
the approaching campaign to confer
| upon our present governor the highest
honors within the gift of any state.
| By order of committee,
&. C. INMAN, Chairman.

Some Music.

Andy Todd, who has fondness FOR
music, and who can't play jewsharp,
is always adding a new musical device
to his saloon. First he started with a
six-inch talking machine, then added
one size larger. This was superseded
by one that took up a shelf in the cor
ne but now he has crowned the saloon
with the finest musical continuance
that has ever been shown this side of
the Rockies. 1t is a machine with
piano attachment, brass band AMI
other features that make whole
house full of music for the small price
of nickel.
The machine is of German con-
struction and is really a wonder in
! thing that is not dutch about it is the
american tunes that are introduced
| Anything that is asked for in the pop
ular line is handed out on a platter
about the size Of the bottom of a tub
1t is worth the price of admission TO
listen to the first class music and see
the machine do the business that half
dozen musicians would be stumped
at
| While Andy went into the business
he also unloaded a machine { one Of
the small ones) on Joe Josephs, vino
has taken it to the Orphans home,
where night entertainments will be
held from this time on. Joe is nearly
as well pleased over his bargain as
is Andy of the big machine that the

DRILLING ON THE BRUNSWICK.
Nearly 100000 Discussed in Wages
Through that Work.

Now that drilling on the Brunswick
has been suspended, it is relevant to
briefly review the work accomplished
and it's results. Seven holes in all
Potosi Brunswick territory and three
in Occidental ground. The total depth
of all the holes bored aggregated alb
out 5000 feet The holes drilled in
Chollar-Potosi territory demonstrates
the existence of two bodies of quart,
one on the $50 level and the other
on the $50 level and the showing
made there justified the resumption
Of work in shaft No. 1.
In Occidental territory the showing
made caused a resumption of explo-
ratory work on the $50 level and the
last hole disclosed the existence on
the 750-foot level of body Of quartz
showing values that may result il
the development of a large ore body
at that depth and will probably lie
monstrate that it is the downward con-
t:nuation Of that on the $50 level.
The amount disbursed to employees
OF the drill plant the past two years
exceeded $4,000 and as much more
has been disbursed in wages to en-
ployees at shaft No. 1 and the explo-
ratory mining work in Occidental. The
highly encouraging prospect of the de-
velopment of the body of pay ore
in the work now being prosecuted on
the Brunswick is another argument in
favor of what has been accomplished
through the drilling project which,
viewed from any standpoint has been
a vast benefit to the Comstock.-Re-

stationary camp is to be made as
well as at Fergusons. At each of these

AFTER NEWLANDS.
Homeseekers Deluge the Department
with Inquiries.

WASHINGTON, March 8.-The
General Land Office is being deluged
with inquiries regarding the compile
ton of the irrigation project, where
by something like 100000 acres of
rich land are to be thrown open to
settlement in Churchill county, Ne
vada. The irrigation works will prob
ably be completed and the lan1
thrown open to actual settlers within
the next ten months.
The government is manifesting in
tense interest in the project. as it is
the first of great magnitude to be devel
oped under Gle Newlands' law. The
cultural and intrior departments indi-
cate a great rush of actual settlers for
land within the next six months
Many of the inquiries come from
Scandinavians who have settled in the
central western States, principally
Minnesota and Wisconsin. Their are
very DESTROYS of learning the exact
status of affairs and intimate that ma
ny relatives in the old country desire
to settle on the Nevada lands.
The government is more than ever
determined to prevent the sediment
or acquisition of the land by other
than actual home seekers who will
reside on and develop the property.
Every precaution is being taken TO
prevent the requirement of the land
in large quantities by cattle men and ct
hers who have no intention of making
homes there.
Most of the inquiries are in regar.l
to the quality of the land and what
it is best adapted for producing. All
inquiries are being answered fully.
The interest created by the project is
| especially gratifying to the branch of
| the government having it in charge.
| 1t is believed that fully ten thousand
| people will have settled on the land
within the next eighteen months.

LIKES ToNoPAH COUNTRY.
Was a Revelation to c. e. Hudson, Who
Spent Two Weeks There.

Was a Revelation to c. E.Hudson, Who
Spent Two Weeks There.
From the manner in which C. E.
Hudson discoures on the wealth of
the TOnopah and the surrounding min
eral country in Nevada, the region
he has been investigating for the past |
two weeks, the impression might east
ly be gained that he had been commits
stoned to go forth and boom it. He
got back late Saturday night and yes
terday he was being beseiged on all
sides for information.
In company with several other Sal.
Lakers he went through the principal
mines Of Tonopah and he makes the
declaration that after the railroad is
completed it will be surprising to him
if the camps output of the precious
metals does not exceed that of the
very best of Utah's bonanza districts.
Away from there he declares it is i'm
possible for person to feel other
than that the camp has been overes-
timated After going through tn.
mines he a once reaches the conciu-
sion, if he knows anything at all alb
out mining that the half has never
yet been told. In the Tonopah corr
pany's mine he says he walked through
ore in one vein for distance of over
1000 feet, and under similar condi-
tons he tramped on ore for over 800
feet in the Montana Tonopah. In the
former he saw them taking Que ore
worth $4,000 per ton and in the latter
mine he witnessed the sacking OF
rock carrying $4,000 ounces in silver
and 40 ounces gold, per ton.
At Goldfield he said there are at least
1900 people located right now and de-
velopments are proving up the coun-
try so rapidly that he really expects
the camp to turn out to be about the
biggest gold district in the country.
The ground IN the vicinity of the COLI
bination, the first property to show
up in the district, has all been leas
ed just as it was at Tonopah, in the
beginning and a number Of the leas-
ers are making big money right at
the grass roots. He brought back a
map of the esction showing Goldfield,
Diamondf1eld and some of the ada
cent country and the number OF
claims shown upon it illustrates at
what a rapid rate the country is fill
ing up.
Mr.. Hudson also reports great &C.
tivity at Gold Mountain, Lone Noun
tain and other camps in the same sec-
ton of country and he predicts the
liveliest kind of times following the
completion of the Tonopah railroad,
something which he feels will not
happen before July on account of the
difficulty in getting in material.
At the Tonopah Belcher property,
Mr.. Hudson says a monster shoot OF
ore is being opened up and when the
new shaft has been put down, pro-
auctions will poceed at a rapid rate.
In the meantime the ore taken out
through the old workings will be sa tx
ed and held for shipment until The
new railroad has been finished.
Coming out, Mr.. Hudson was a.
companied as far as Reno by Frank
B. Cook. j. B. Thompson and ]. r.
Walker, who went from there to San
francisco. Some of them, he thinks,
will go into the diggings on their
way back fom the coast. So much i'm
