Slope, for John Carlson was known,
and very well thought Of, by almost
everybody from Pollock to Bismarck.
The young man was born at Hudtks-
vail, Sweden, in 1868, and resided
there up to 1892. During that time
he acquired a splendid knowledge Of
mechanics and electricity, and was
regarded as an expert and great STU
dent in those lines. The same year
the family moved to Avalon, and have
since remained in Dakota, most of
the time at Mandan, where the boys,
particularly John, were sought after
for their proficiency in navigation.
They moved to Winona in 1900 and
have heen engaged in the ferry busi-
ness at that point ever since.
Everybody will miss the very affable,
courteous and sincere young man. He
was model worthy of emulation by
the youth Of the county. No one
ever had any grievance whatever
against him. He pursued the even
tenor of his way, with malice toward
none and charity for all.
tuberculosis, however, had sown
its mortal germs. and he at last sue.
cumbed TO its inyincibility. During
the trip out at Washington, the
changeof climate and the verdant seen
cry seemed to have inyigorated him
but on his way home from Bismarck
he contracted a cold which accelerated
his inevitable fate. The many friends
of the deceased accompanied the re
mains to their last resting place, neal
the Spicer lot, south Of Winona.
A very devoted son, an irreproach
able young Christian, and benevolent
neighbor, ever ready to aid in time O.

missed. From out our bourne o
time and place the flood has borne hin
far beyond the bar, to meet his Pilot
face to face, where he will receive th'
crown awaiting him.

THE DESERT LAND LAWS.

Salt Lake Tribune: We are glad to
note that the House Committee has
voted. 8 to 8. to report adversely on the
bill to repeal the Desert Land Laws.
Now is no time to NEEDLE with the
land legislation of the country. Vast
tracts are assured to actual settlers in
convenient subdivisions, under the
operation of the National Irrigation
Law. by virtue of which important re.
clamation projects are under way, and
while the Desert Land Law is not partic-
ularly applicable in such cases. it is
yet a bad thing TO disturb settled legis-
lation. The effort for repeal, it is
understood, is made in the interest of
large corporations, who maintain their
lobbies in Washington, and that alone
is enough to point to the desirability of
defeating whatever legislation they
may be urging; for it is a sure thug
that with them their own interests ara
a close first, and the public interests a
very bad second.

At one time, in the "bonsnzs" days,
there was claimed for Virginia City 9 pop

Gold Hill, 10000.
Virginia City has fine water works,

A great work is the Sutro drain tunnel
which, starting at the Carson river, has a
length of nearly four miles. 1t taps the
lode at a depth Of 1900 feet and drains all
the mines Of both towns. It's construc-
ton lasted eight years and cost about
1850. 900, being $1,000 900 more than
the cost OF the great works of the Virginia
City and Gold Hill Water Company.

the discovery Of silver to the present time,

alone, in which lay the immense body Of
rich ore known as the ''Big Bonanza"
! have yielded about eighty million dol
lars in dividends.
The mines are still worked to a good
profit, though most OF the ore is at pres
cnt of a low grade, and each month there
are paid out to employees from $780, 900 to
5000. 900 as wages. Miners are paid "a q

There are on the Comstock lode many
large areas OF virgin ground still to be
explored, and great and rich bonanzas

Virginia City, the pioneer mining town
Of Nevada and the United states, is
perched on the eastern side Of Mount
Davidson, the eliminating peak OF the
range Of mountains in which lies the
famous Comstock silver lode The alti-
tuie Of tue city above the level OF the
sea is about 6OO0 feet. 1t was founded in
1859, when the silver mines were discov-

Gold vas first discovered in Nevada IN
the Spring Of 1850. 1t was found in what
is now known a. Gold Canyon by . COM
pany of Mormon emigrsnts on their way
to California. From S. to s. . day could
be made by mining the gravel OF the can
yon. but this seemed small wages to men
who expected to gather gold by the
pound in California, therefore all but one
or two families vent on across the mount
aims.
Following up this gold in after years
led to the discovery. in 1859, OF the rich
deposit oil gold where now stands the
town of Gold Hill. This gold in a vein
that afterwards became famous as the
Comstock silver lode. but at Gold Hill II

which contributed their share to the gold
dust found in Gold Canyon.

NEVADA POLITICAL TOPICS.

Governor John Sparks while in Salt

by the Tribune on the political situa-

there will be an alliance between the
Democratic and the Silver tickets. and
I think the labor vote will be cast with
the Democrats. AS regards the Presi-
dental campaign. it is hard TO tell so
far. II Hearst's men would only get in
and work 1 think he would get a solid
delegation. The Unions are very
strong and well organized in Nevada.
and they are all prejudiced in his favor.
But his l~ieutenants seem to have di-
rected all their energies to California.
/ have seen no signs whatever OF their
work in our State. You see, the situa.
ton in Nevada is greatly governed by
the fact that we have 10 coal mines
and, consequently. no alien element
and no hoboes. Our miners are all gold
or silver miners, who are intelligent
men. They are good Union men and
good citizens. Their vote, when it
goes, goes solid. As things are at pres.
ent, l doubt whether Hearst will have
more than a third of the delegation"

AN UNIQUE
DISPLAY
FOR CHRISTMAS WEEK IS NOW
BEING GIVEN BY
THE JONES HARDWARE GO.
Two Boys Are in Bed in a Window
When They Are Visited by
Santa Claus.
THE JONES HARDWARE co.

The Jones Hardware Company has
one of the most unique window dis
plays ever seen in this city. One of
the large show windows fronting in
E street, has been transformed into
boys bedroom. In one corner of
the room stands a boys brass bed
and in the other a large Christmas
tree all decorated and waiting for
Santa Claus to put his presents on
it. In another corner is large
stove, while in the center of the room
is a table Two boys enter the room
sit down at the table, where they
write their notes to Santa Claus for
their Christmas presents. After
folding their notes up and putting
them in conspicuous places the boys
then undress and retire. In short
while Santa Claus himself enters the
room, finds the boys notes and
leaves their presents. The boys on
awakening are completely overcome
by the large number of presents they
receive and the next fifteen minutes
is spent in examining them to the
great amusement of the onlookers.
The whole performance is very clever
and a large crowd collected in front
of the window both yesterday after
noon and last evening. All of the
presents which are distributed by
Santa Claus are kept in stock by the
Jones Hardware Company and not
thing has been brought in from the
outside. The boys who do the larg-
est part of the acting are Bvram
Oldaker and Ross Lyons, both school
BOYS at the Seventh street school.
The performance will be given every
afternoon at O'Clock and every ev-
ening at 7:30 until Christmas. The
management of the store announces
that on one day this week a present
will be given to, every child who at
tends the exhibition, but the day is
not announced and it will come as a
surprise. A large number of letters
Santa Claus from little ones who de-
sire all sorts Of presents. A more
pretentious display than the one now
being given by the Jones Hardware
Company is very seldom seen in any
; larger city. After last evenings dis
play is was very hard to get the two
boys, who are star performers, out
! of the window as they wished to stay
and play with the toys which had
been left behind by Santa Claus.
