Nevada Club Proposed.

There are many former Nevadans IN
Ogden and Salt Lake and it is propos-
ed to form a Nevada club in this State
with club rooms in Ogden, says the
Ogden Examiner.
The scheme will certainly be Eeceiv-
ed with favor by visiting iIevadans
who will be glad to enjoy the hospi-
talities that will be extended to them
by club members, affordng them
congenial headquarters when their bu-
siness or pleasure may call them to
Ogden. There are a great many of
Salt Lake and Ogden business and
mining men who are largely identi-
ned with the progress of Nevada
mines and q club room of this kind
will bring them into closer touch with
visitors from the Silver State. A num-
Der of prominent gentlemen in Ogden
have signified their interest in this
movement and there will be no lack
of charter members when once this
innovation is fairly launched.

TO HELP CARSON.
enforcement of Spraying and Trim
ming Will Benefit This City.

When the general order was issue1
by the County Commissioners and
after the law regarding the spraying
and trimming Of trees, there were
few people who regarded the law as
one intended to injure their purse and
in a general way be hardship. These
people are mistaken, as the law is on
the statutes requiring the county to
follow the cause and it is just and
well meaning measure.
In talking over the matter with Mr..
Slingerland, many useful hints were
given out In the first place he intends
making a thorough inspection Of all
the trees in this city. Those that are
found in a healthy condition will be
left to the owners Judgment. Where
! infection is found the case will be re
ported to the owner. and in case he
does not provide for the eD"aying and
trimming. the men appointed by the
county will do the work, which viii
be charged to the owners Of the
trees In case the parties owning the
property desire the trees sprayed, the
work viii be done at the lowest pos
sible rate. The work will be done by
the gallon, that is so much a gallon
will be charged fer the spraying, As
it will not be just to charge by the
tree as some are large and some
small This will make the work conc
reasonable and benefit the orchards
without Overcharge. In case the Ownel
owns his own apparatus, he can us.

Montana Tonopah-Th shaft on
this property has reached a depth of

past two or tire weeks because Of
the hardness of the country rock.
However the latter is now becoming
softer and the force is making more

Of the Kno ledge which was passed
through at 2SG feet north of the shaft
in the 500 level Drifting is being con-
tinued east and west on the Mcdonald |

Of the Mcdonald ledge On the 800 is

the matter Of future dividends has

Midway-On the 10th inst the Mid
way company commenced sinking its
shaft from the 535 level and will pro-
secute matters until depth of 700
feet has been reached. This week a
new fifty horse power engine is being
installed at the shaft house, the old
one, twenty-five horse power. lacking
the force to carry the shaft down 10
its contemplated depth.
, The most important news Of the
, week outside of the authoritative state
ments in regard to the railroad is the
: acceptance of the leasers mill and the
remarkable saving of values. The ore
+ now passing through the mill shows
an assay value of about SAT the pro-
: portion Of gold running from IS to

per cent and the saving Of silver
which was S3 per cent the frse week
, has now reached S6.4 per cent affect.

The Southern Pacific company will
run a number of excursions to Reno
this season. The round trip from San

half fare, and tickets will be good

This is certainly a fairly liberal
rate and one that will certainly be ia

charge Of the strike in the Trinidad
coal fields. has issued q statement in
which ne asks the people of Colorado
to interest themselves in the strike
sufficiently to demand an investigation
Of the true state Of Affairs.
Governor Peabody says that the
operators have assured him that they
would treat with their men, as indi-
vidauls. but will not recognize the

Such being the facts in the matter
there seems to be no reason, it is said,
