LET Us HELP HUMBOLDT.


Humboldt county is full of mineral of
one kind and another. In years that
have passed Humboldt has produced
much money from her mines, but when
silver went down mining stopped for a
time. There are several fine mines in
this county and more good prospects that
it seems to the Silver State it would JUS
tify the businessmen of the county to
help prospect and if just one good mine
were found they would more than get
their money back. There is nothing
and the prospects. it seems to us, justify
the expenditure. The Golden Eagle peo-
pie in New Central are developing a good
property. Kennedy promises something if
properly developed, the prospects in the
vicinity of Lovelock are very promising,
the mines at old Spring City, near Para
ed out, the properties now being worked
by w. CT. Adamson promise well, partic-
ularly is this true of his mine in Winnie
mucca mountain; Dutch Flat district is
attracting some attention and the mines
about the old town of Unionville, winch
astonished the world a quarter of a CEN
fury ago, are by no means dead. This
county should make some effort to catch
at least a part of the influx of people who
will come to Nevada this spring. The OPP
portunities are here and only need a lit
tie well-directed effort on the part of
the people to show the world what In
oucements Humboldt county has to offer
to greatly increase the population. Let
some of the leading citizens take hold
with a determination to succeed and see
new business be made. Distance often
times lends enchantment, but let a peo-
pie make the best use of their own re-
sources and the scene will be shifted. If
this county cannot catch a part of the
people coming to Nevada this spring ii
will be because the people prefer to talk
up other sections of the State in prefer
ence to their own. Let a move be made
in the right direction and we will all soon
helping others. Humboldt is the third
county in Nevada in point of wealth and
resources and a little well-directed effort
will bring them out in bold relief.

The Swayne impeachment trial drags
YEARLY on in the Senate, with little APP
parent sign of reaching a conclusion,
although the attorneys for the defend
ant assert their belief that they will be
able to bring the case to a close by the
last of this week. The end is still in
doubt. although that seems to be largely
the result of a popular misconception of
probable that the devisers of impeach-
ment proceedings intended to provide a
means of removing a Judge or other off,
cial, otherwise ~irremovable, when such
official had demonstrated his u~nfitness for
the office held. but did not intend that
such removal. or impeachment, should
more excessive than criminal prosecu-
ton and a short term of Imprisonment.
But whatever may have been the inten-
ton of those who provided the machinery
for the impeachment. it is manifest now
hat a man impeached would be more
seriously punished than the mar convict
ed of a minor ofense and imprisoned
therefor. For this reason 1t seems doubt
full If the Senate win impeach in this in
stance. although were the Senate merely
called upon to declare the defendant unfit
further to act as Judge, there is little
doubt as TO what its decision would be.

LABORERS YELLED LIKE DEMONS
Wild Scene When Great Simlon Tunnel Was Com
peted. Two Billion Gallons of Water Flowed Out

ed the very first hole over six yeaI
ago, placed the last dynamite cartridge
Five hundred yards back were work
men and engineers.
The signal was given. A sharp re
port, Il defamation, Il gasp for breath.
and then suddenly there sprang from
what had been the solid wall of rock a
food of hot, muddy, turbulent water
that rushed down through the gaping
hole and, vaulting madly over the first
dam, turned aside at the second anG
third and raced away through the
wooden canal toward the mouth of the
tunnel, seven miles away.
Starting from opposite points twelve
miles apart, one in Switzerland and
one in Italy. bored toward a common
center, the side walls of the tunnel had
united exactly. The giant work is fin
ished.
Over 100000 cubic yards of mate
rial has been removed, great part of
it carted several miles from the in
terror. There were 255,000 blasting
holes bored by machinery with tota!
length of 100000 feet, but the num-
Der of holes bored by hand was much
larger, 100000. 1t required 26,000,0OG
bore points to drill them, representing
an enormous amount of tempered steel.
Over 1000 tons of dynamite were eX-

When the train bearing SulZer,

was unbearable. Professor Rosenmund
and his assistants stood it for ten

warned Sulzer and those who accom-

Grassi, a representative of the Simplon
company in DOmodossola, sank to the
ground A few who could do so car
ried him to the first train, already
filed with workmen. When the outer
