Nevada

In reviewing the conditions Of
the neighboring States during
the year just passed, Goodwin $
Weekly of Salt Lake has the fol
lowing to say concerning Nevada:
Nevada is coming in to her
own. She now has the call on all
the mining States, If one fol
lows the crowd he goes to Ne
vada.
She is vindicating the judg
ment of all who have best known
her possibilities. She is likely
to rank first among mining
States in the next five years,
and she is making a big struggle
to bring enough of her soil under
irrigation to raise her own bread.
Nevada is all right.

Nevada Irrigation.

The Government is laying out
some tremendous irrigation
works in Nevada. The first
proposition is to raise the dam at
the outlet of Lake Tahoe thirty
feet. The lake is IA by % miles
in area. To raise this 30 feet
will make Il mighty volume of
water.
At Wadsworth the Truckee, is
to have dam 75 feet high. This
water is to be carried 2S miles
through Il canal across to the
Carson river. The Carson is to
have dam ll0 feet high, which
will make a reservoir thirteen
and half miles long and three
and half miles wide, which will
hold water enough to cover 296,
600 acres of land one foot deep.
Other great works are under
way to conserve the waters of
the Humboldt which now in high
water runs to waste. Nevada
seems to be the coming State in
every way. Goodwin $ Weekly.

THE LEAP YEAR BALL
Proves a Complete Success From
Beginning to End.

The manner in which the Leap
Year Ball, given by the young
ladies' of Ely last Friday even
ing, was carried out should prove
an object lesson to the young
gentlemen here who think they
know something about the sue
csssful management of such mat
ters. From the first strains OF
the grand march till the ball end
ed at five O'Clock a. m., jOllity
and pleasure were the watch
words of the evening.
Leap Year, the rainbow of hope
of the bachelor maid, was fast
drawing to a close and each gen
tie maiden between the ages of
sixteen and sixty who now and
then feels an indefinable, flutter-
sensation in the vicinity of the
fifth rib, was resolved to make
the most of the few precious
hours still remaining to her.
She had read the hand writing
on the wall and, unlike Neb-
uchadnezzar of old, had read and
understood.
To more effectually impress
upon the minds of the careless
and thoughtless the necessity of
prompt action, some of the more
provident had caused to be print
ed in blazing letters this grue-
Some warning: GIRLS, THIS is
YOUR LAST CHANCE. One
glance at that significant warn
ing was sufficient for the most of
the young ladies to screw up
their courage to the sticking
point for the fateful question,
although there We're one or two
who had to look the second time.
We predict IA rushing business
in the County Clerk $ Office for
the next few months, and we are
reliably informed that Justice
Van Volkenberg is. devoting
eleven hours each day to re-
hearsipg marriage ceremonies.
The Ball was a thorough sue
cess in every way; the hall was
tastefully decorated, the music
splendid. In fact, the commit
tees in charge had left nothing
undone that would add to the
pleasure of the dancers. The
following committees were in
charge of affairs:
Committee of Arrangements:
Misses Lulu Shallenbarger, Car
rie Humphrey, Hattie Oldtield,
and Sophie Munro.
Music Committee Misses
Laura Campbell. Hattie Oldtield
and Carrie Humphrey.
Reception Committee: Misses
Grace Bassett, lorina Luchesi,
Lulu Shallenbarger, Isabel Gil
bert, Kate Graham, Adelina Lu-
chesi and Mrs. Bertha Fox.
Floor Committee: Misses Mac
Campbell, Laura Campbell, Laura
Gallagher and Mrs. j. d. Gro
Sette.

i DISTRIBUTOR or
MINING NEWS
It's Policy in the
Future

The NEWS realizes that mining
is the chief industry OF this State
and more especially ofsthis coun-
ty. Outside Of Lund and Preston,
the mines are the sole support,
directly, Of every town in the
coun y, and indirectly Of those
two towns and nearly every
rancher
That there has been a dearth
of mining news in this paper for
some time past is admitted.
Henceforth it will be the policy
of the paper to make Il special ef-
fort to keep its readers informed
on all mining matters of public
interest. which do not come to
the knowledge OF It's editors con
tidentially. Many IL negotiation
which the News is conversant
with would be frustrated, were
the facts made public before con
summation. But breach of trust
will never, knowingly, be in
dulged III. This is the paper's $
part.
Now, as to the mining man:
If there are matters relating to Il
deal he has made, u change OF
manag ement in his company, Il
body Of rich ore struck, Il new
shaft to be sunk, and matters OF
like interest to the public, when
there is 10 occasion for mumness,
the man should give the items
for publication; then they will
be correctly stated. Otherwise
athe editor is f,esy.ee soaa aa;c,t--a >fesE
detached facts from this person
and that person, guess at the
rest, and get out an article that
ism satisfactory toanyOne.
The circulation of the NEWS
among the holders of stock in the
various companies operating in
the county is large, and they are
continuously writing to the paper
r more ,phining news.
Matters justifying temporary
secredy will be stricly observed,
ifIthe paper is forwarned. With
this exception, all forms of
fraud, extortion and purely wild
cat schemes are against the in
terests of legitimate mining and
will be exposed.
Messrs. Mining Men, when
you are interviewed by one of
the reporters of the NEWS, give
him the news of your company
first handed; don It force him to
get it, or at it, from those not in
a position to give it correctly.

ed to business by electing Mr..
Wakeling, the hold-over mem

| their Chairman his colleagues
have tittingly recognized public
duty we'll performed.
Aside from the regular routine
| of work Il number of matters of
| more or less Importance came be-
fore the Board for consideration
Some heated arguments arose
over the proper disposition of
one or two matters, but as the
Sheriff was on hand and the
lock up in dangerous proxim
| ity to the court house, no tistic
encounters were indulged in.
The new Board, Judging from
it's first session, has adopted a
policy of retrenchment in the
county s expenses, which cannot
be too highly commended, and
one it is TO be hoped will be car
| ried out to the end of Tive term.
Below We glse a brief synopsis
of the proceedings:
Bonds of the different officers
We're examined and approved by

CHERRY CREEK.

A happy New Year to the
readers of these items.
w. A. Watson and wife cele-
brated the seventh anniversary
of their wedding on New Year $
day.
Time nor space will not per-
nit to speak of the many reasons
for Il brighter outlook this new
year
Miss Della Burke of Schell
! bourne has been engaged to teach
II private school at Russell Mar
tin 5, Star mill.
w. II. Rundle of Denver, Colo,
has arrived in the interest of
capitalists to examine into the
merits of our district.
AS we write, the New Year s
ball is in fully swing over our
head. Wespresume its partici-
pants are all happy,
r. A. McDermid and wife has
gone to Oakland, California, to
spend IL few days with Miss Amy
who is student at Mills Col
lege.
The stage between Wells and
Cherry Creek now takes two days
travelling by day, making it more
pleasant for travellers than Il
night ride.
Il, A. Nuckols is now running
the butcher shop on his own ac-
count, his partner, Frank Pierce
having retired and leased the
Borchert ranch.
Miners who have visited the
new discovery at Cocomungo by
Gaby, Culver and others, report
it as good thing. There is
about Z feet of ledge, all carrying
gold that will horn.
Adolph Judell in charge of
the railroad survey from Ely to
Toano, returned on Monday af-
ter making preliminary sur
vey. The distance is l40 miles
and we hope soon to see the iron
horse travelling through the
valley.
The Glasgow & Western Elk
ploration Company's 5 property is
being developed by sinking the
working shaft, which, when the
contract is completed will have
attained depth of 800 feet. The
level will then be pushed in the
mountain on the ledge known to
be rich in the precious metals,
when the company will probably
adopt some other method of
working the ores. r. g. Davis
is the Superintendent and has
the business we'll in hand.
The Wide West company isop-
ening up their mine by tunnels
and wines, developing as they
work a continuous body of pay
ore, amounting by measurement
to many thousands of tons. This
as soon as onnections are made
between the lower levels will be
stopped and hauled to their mill,
which is ready to separate the
gold and make glad the hearts
of the Boston owners. Supt.
Leishman is erecting a residence
at the the mill SO as to be in close
touch with the operations, and
telephone communication is had
between the mill and mine.
