Washington, Jan. 27.--The senate
yesterday passed the army appropria-
ton bill after modifying the provision
concerning the assignment of retired

the militia organizations. The effect
of the change is to relieve Gen. Miles

competition upon the owners of pri-
vate vessels. Mr.. Hale condemned the
operation of the general tariff system
in the army and said he would oppose
any effort to establish a similar sys-
ten in the navy.
The agricultural appropriation bill
was considered in the house yester-
day, but the debate turned principally
on the topic Of restricting railroads in
the matter of freight rates, the Hep
burn bill forming the basis of the dis
cussion. Mr.. Williams Of Mississippi
said that the Democratic party was
committed to views such as were X
pressed by the president in his mes
sage to congress.

Journal reporter. He said:

is staked out. There are some great
deposits of highly m~ineralized ore

has a great future.
"The district ore bodies are telluride

red and blue. There is ample water to
run q large number of small mines and
the conditions for mining are unusually
good. / look to see the country south Of
Beowawe become a large producer.
The country has been well taken mp
through the mineralized section aud it
only remains for capital to go in and

THE BULLFROG DISTRICT.
Prospects Good for Great Camp but
Terrible Country to Live In.


Letters received in Eureka from the
Bullfrog district speak in highly favor
able terms of the richness and amount
of ore in sight and that the general
prospects are good for the making of a
great camp. But it is the unanimous
opinion of all who have gone from this
section that the country is terrible to
live in. Hot, dry, windy and sandy
these do not express the conditions as
they exist. except to one who has had a
taste of life on the deserts borders.
The desert storms prevalent during
the Summer are hard to endure. for the
sands drift and are piled all about,
often obstructing traffic. while the hot
winds parch every living thing-hu.
man, animal and vegetable.
Yet, withal, people are going into the
desolate region by the hundreds. to
face the hardest of life-conditions and
where tire cost of living is extremely
high. And in the exciting search for
gold not one will be deferred from going
by the fact that many of the bravest
prospectors that ever tramped the
mountains and hills of this State after
wards left their bones to bleach on the
desert sands while striving to get into
the treasure house locked up in South
ern Nevada.
