Governor Sparks recently paid a
visit to Salt Lake City and on his
return stated that all Utah was
wild about Nevada. While in Salt
Lake he was besieged with people
who wanted information regarding
this state. They are all anxious to
come here and strike it rich as
others have done. He told them
that Nevada was going rapidly for
ward. and that the people here were
so busy developing the country
that they had no time to pay any

$1,000 Reward.

Last week Governor Sparks
authorized the Offering of a re-
ward of $500 for the arrest of the
murderer of Harry Manon. The
sheriff of Nye county will take
similar action, making Il total re-
ward of $1,000 for the capture of
the murderer. This is the first
time since Governor Sparks has
been in Office that he has offered
a reward for the arrest of a GRIM
inal. The murder of Harry
Mauon was particularly aggra.
voted and cold blooded. At the
time. he was serving as deputy
sheriff of Nye county. While
attempting, abont "a Donth ago,
to arrest two men who had held
up a party of Italian laborers, he
was MORALLY wounded, and died
the next day in Beatty. The
murderer escaped. 1t is thought
that the reward of ST. will in
duce many detectives to take up
the search, and that the murder
er may be captured and given
his Just deserts. Reno journal.

Finishing touches are being
put on the section of the great
Truckee- I arson irrigation canal
constructed by Warren & Co.,
and the work will soon be entirely
finished and ready to turn over
to the Government.
The castings have been removed
from the large diverting dam
west of Derby. Four large
steam shovels, two locomotives,
plows, scrapers and other imple-
ments used By the company in
the work of construction, are
being piled along the track for
shipment.
The large force of men en-
ployed in the vicinity of Derby,
numbering over thousand dur
ing the busy season, has dwindl-
ed to less than two hundred.
These will soon be gone, and
then, aside from the railway sta
ton and a few miners cabins
further back in the hills, the
town will have vanished, leaving
behind q history with pages
smeared by the bl6ts Of crime
aud vice. the perpetrators and
victims of which will alike be

The Pantheon.

The Pantheon is the most interesting OF
all the interesting places Of Rome.
1t was used for its present purpose as 9
place of religious worship before the found.
alton of the Coliseum were laid. It's huge
doors have opened to admit the great ones
of the earth, from Augustus Caesar to
Napoleon, all assertion that will scarcely
be disputed.
It stands in the very heart of old Rome.
and the vicissitudes which have befallen
the Eternal City during the 1900 years of
its existence have left it practically un-
changed. The gilded bronze that lined it's
roof has been carried off to decorate" st.
Peters, where, In the form of clouds and
Cupids, cords and curtains, it fills the be-
holder with displaced amazement.
The tiles of bronze and gold were remov-
ed to Constantinople 1900 years ago, and
the statues which adorned it have long
since perished, but the mighty walls yet
stand, firm as ever, sweeping up to the
majestic dome, the largest though not the
highest, in the world.
One hundred feet across, hundred feet
high and perfectly circular, no architect
could design building more perfect in its
proportions, more harmonious as q whole.
1t is lighted solely by an aperture in the
dome, circle thirty feet across. Stand
ing on its marble floor one looks up to the
greatest dome man ever raised and through
that the blue dome which bends above it,
sending summer sun or winter rain through
those bare wards Of space.
The effect is 30 impressive, so entirely
unmatched and unrivaled, that the dullest
of hearts and the most untaught OF minds
must perforce acknowledge its influence.
