 A hush was noticeable in the crowd. The official entrance was dramatic. All except those who were participating in the ceremony were seated. When the justices of the supreme court, with the exception of Chief Justice Fuller emerged from between the Corinthiaa pillars and marched down the sloping carpeted aisle to their station they were greeted with applause. The justices wore their robes and sEull-eaps. Then came the members of the diplomatic corps. in their gorgeous uniforms. and they evoked thunder0Us applause.

FITZ- mac VISITS BULLION
Interesting Description Of the
New Camp.
Trial Shipment from the Giant
Mine Will Determine Richness
of G. Montgomery's Discovery.

Writing from Beowawe, Eureka
County. under date of Aug. 5. Fitz-Mac
contributes the following to the Salt
Lake Tribune:
Salt Lake mining people have bonded
many of the best groups of locations
surrounding Charley Montgomery's big
discovery, south of here in Lander
County, and stand to make a big for
tune if New Bullion" proves a bon
nza gold camp, as expected.
1t is a camp worth watching and
studying closely till its character has
been proved.
Beowawe is a station on the Southern
Pacific in Eureka County and "New
Bullion (the new camp is 26 miles
south, but across the liue in Lander
County, near Cor,ez. This place is
hardly to be called a town, and yet it is
the shipping point for a region as large
as the State of Connecticut and has al
ways handled a considerable tonnage OF
ore from mines to the southwark to the
Salt Lake shelters. Tue place contains
q large general store and al excellent
country hotel and the railroad traffic
here is important. The ate ON ore to
Salt Lake is very reasonable-$4.50 per
ton.
Beowawe is the station-and the only
s~tation-from which to reach the new
camp of Montgomery's recent great
strike to the southwark in Lander
County.
I have just returned from that camp,
where l went as the guest Of Mr.. Mont
gomery to examine the prospects of the
new camp for the information of the
Tribune's army of readers throughout

Will the Board, or forthat matter the
Carson journals. who are on the ground
aud ought to know. deny that Joe
Josephs is a habitual druukard? Will
they deny that he is an unfit guardian

that were it moi for his capable and

administration would have long since
become a public disgrace?
Such a man as Josephs, who by ma

The New Zinc Discovery

E. & P. Railway.

the new zinc discoveries in the Roberts

and inspected their zinc discoveries and
made a brief general reconnaissance of
the ore disclosed and the geological for

"The discoveries are, as yet, only

zinc.

railroad aud they contain an abundance
of water and excellent forage for stock
and all the pinon. cedar and mahogany
timber that will be needed. There are
several old charcoal camps up there
that were operated in the early days OF
smelling in Eureka. The situation is
favorable in every way for prospecting
and mining.
"The zinc discoveries are near the
ranch of Peter Carletti at the north
base of the mountains and this ranch
is watered by the most beautiful little
mountain stream that l have ever seen
in Nevada. IL is one of the main
sources of Piue Creek which waters the
Pine Creek Valley for 90 miles down to
the junction of that stream with the
Humboldt at Palisade-and l need not
tell the people of Eureka County that
Pine Greek Valley is one of the finest
agricultural valleys in all Nevada.
1.-THE volume of water in the stream
at Carletti's ranch is constant and fully
equal to the service of a 20.stamp mill
if concentration of the ores should ever
become necessary. At present 1t isn't
necessary. Tue whole output is ship

This is the outcome of the bitter war

camp or not remains to be proved.
On Thursday of this week he shipped
from this station a carload of ore from
his discovery, the Giant mine, to the
Salt Lake smelter.
The fate of the camp hangs on the
returns from that shipment. Mont
gomery himself is sanguine that it will
run not far below $3.50 to the ton.
II it runs $40 it will pay well. for the
ore body appears to be large and all the
conditions for mining and shipping to
the railroad are ideal.

the NEVADA ORPHANS HOME

The SENTINEL this week regales its
readers with a Carson News editorial
Of August /. and regrets that the paper
did not arrive in Eureka in time for it
TO appear last week. 1t follows:
The Eureka SENTINEL, usually fair
minded, is frothing at the mouth over
a communication in the News and its
compatriot, the Appeal. signed IAN
Old Orphan"
The SENTINEL charges graft. The
SENTINEL is an ass.
If there is any graft in the work of
the State officers the News will be the
first to know it. and will be the first to
tell of it, no matter il the CRATER be
Republican, Democrat or Eurekan.
As a matter of fact. the Board of
Orphans Home Commissioners have
been stirred to action by the Carson
papers. Their hands were tied, but
the News and Appeal showed them
how to remove the knots. The Board
has settled upon the only plan of &C
ton possible in order to get the faith
erless children out of their present
unsanitary quarters into the magni-
ficent new building built by the State
Of Nevada. They will be transferred
in a couple Of weeks. The Board has
not money enough at its disposal to
furnish the building fully, but the
money at hand will be judiciously ex-
pended aud there will be no deficiency
bill, either.
So long as the Board acts within
the lines suggested it Will be supported
by the News and Appeal to the best Of
their ability and the outside press will
be braying at the moon if it interposes
an objection.
The Carson journals are On the
ground and they know the needs of
the moment and they are further GER
tain that there is no graft afloat. The
Board has accepted a duty that is not
the pleasantest in the world, but is en-
forced. So long as they do right. they
will receive the strong and answering
support of a reasonably honest and well
intending local press.

There is nothing 50 prevalent as fair

no more than death does. The SENTI.
MEL, therefore, overlooks the displrag-
ing epithet of the News.
The SENTINEL denies that it charged
graft in its article the News takes up,
but there was a surface suggestion that
some people who had to do with the
State Orphans Home would not hest
tate to take the orphans money if they
got a chance. and commended the Leg

set apart for furnishing the Home
should be spent. and it reiterates ap-

the managers of the Home are grossly

Why is it not occupied?
"The Boards hands were tied," says
the News, ''but the News and the Ap-

Then what did they do? Turned the
appropriation over to Orvis Ring and
Joe Josephs-the two among the mana
gers who have a record of being too

The people Of the State have not yet
forgotten how Ring covered up by his
silence the misappropriation of the
fund that was created by charitably
disposed people for holiday treats for
the orphans.
Further. the people are cognizant Of
the fact that neither the News nor the
