WORK ON ROUND MOUNTAIN.

ROUND MOUNTAIN, Sept. 14.-It has
been decided to erect the mill of the
Round Mountain Mining Company at
the mouth of No. 3 shaft, an incline
down 130 feet, instead of placing 1t at
Shoshone, on the creek. as was first
planned. The result will be to largely
increase the expenditure. as 1t will be
necessary to put in a pipe line. but it
is estimated that the amount saved in
hauling will offset this in a very short
time after the plant begins operations
Work on the various shafts by means
Of which the group is being prospected
Is going ahead famously and new work
in developing the showing is planned.
1t is stated that the ledge matter at
the bottom of the 1870 incline shows
as good values as II did at the surface,
a high grade milling ore.

MILL AT THE FAIRvIEw.

ROUND MOUNTAIN, Sept. 1.-THE
owners Of the Fairview property are
planning TO start new shaft on the
group on the ground adjoining the
Daisy Fraction of the Virgin group
Development is continuing in a most
satisfactory way on the property in the
older workings and several rich pock-
cts have been struck in the incline
shaft at various times. There is some
talk of small mill being erected on
the property in the near future, but
nothing definite has been said as yet
From the reports of the owners as to
the values received from the ledge it
would seem that the property would
justify the building OF a plant to han
die a small output.

TONOPAH, Sept. 1.-THE wagons
from the Forman and Patrick property
at Golden Arrow arrived here today to
load with general supplies and survey
stakes. The survey party will leave
in short time. and it is thought that
this will mark a new era for the Sec
ton, as both of the men interested are
large operators. with a long line of
mining successes in this State behind
them. Mr.. Forman has stated that the
group would be Systematically devel-
oped on a large scale in the near fu-

At stated. the medal was presented to Leo at the Jefferson Davis memorial exercises, June 3, by Mrs. Chas. Hem derson. with the following beautiful and impressive words:
 MT Chairman. Ladies and Gentlemen:
 In compliance with a request from our Program Committee. am before you this morning to say a few words
 relative to this medal, about to be be-
 slowed by the Daughters of the Con- federacy.
 It was in the winter when the idea of offering medal to the pupil of the Seventh and Eighth Grades writing the best essay on. the Civil War was sug- gested. Later. this suggestion took
 form and in the spring the pupils were
 advised of this fact. but did not know just what period of the war would be given them, on which to write, until the day the article was written. Then it was that the subject Tine Causes of the Civil War Between the States" was | announced to the pupils by the teacher.
 There were five judges selected to ex- | anime these papers, consisting of three Daughters and two gentlemen. Each | of these persons judged independently | of the others. Meeting together a few hours before the public announcement was made. it was found that three out | of the five had selected the same pa- per- numbered fifteen. and so it was | that the composer oI tnls essay was ] the winner.
 Judges knew not whether it be boy
 or girl (the papers being numbered not named) until the name was read
 aloud by. Professor Selman, at the close of school The three other essays that
 were found next in perfection to that | of fifteen. and deserve specially to be
 mentioned for their fine qualities, are
 those of Misses Sallie Mae Clark. J.ela l Nall and Lena Phelps. The judges | unanimously agreed that the entire lot
 of essays were exceptionally clever
 showing much thought. research and | knowledge of their subject. and much | credit Is due Miss Williams, the Teach
 CT of History
 | And now, Leo, has been given me the honor and privilege of offering to you | the rightful possessor of it. as the de- | scendant of an illustrious grandsire
 that brave soldier of the Grey, so lately | fallen asleep. To him no cause was
 dearer, and 'tis said many were his brave acts of battle.

be carried wherever you chose The North declared that slaves could nos be carried above the parallel of thirty six degrees and thirty minutes; the Kansas Nebraska bill, which claimed that the vote of the people should de- eide whether or not these States should have slaves.
 The nullihcation acts of South Car oIina might be called another cause of this war. South Carolina, under, the leadership of Calhoun and his friends attempted to nullify some laws of Con gress which favored the Northern man. ufacturers at the expense of ths south ern producers. They failed to accornp- fish this, but compromise had to be made
 The annexation of Texas was another step toward bringing on the war. The admission of Texas into the Union would largely increase the dominion of slavery For this reason 1t was bitter ly opposed by the North "'
 The lack of intercourse between the North and the South was still another cause of the war. All th>' railroads canals, telegraphs and great highways rar east and west. Bctweel the North and South there had been but little travel and exchange of thought. The peopla of the two sections were more | ignorant of each other than in the rev | olutionary times and each suspecre6 the other of dish onesty and falsehood Stin another cause of this war was the publication and influence of sertion' al books and wri'iIrs In this waN the minds of all classes were prejudiceG and poisoned.
 The South knew that tka Constitu, tional rights had heen violated from time to time. and felt that her Hhotct lay between the chi yir:nt of Statc'' rights outside :he Union or the sur render of States rights within thu Union She preferred States rights outside the Union, hoping that he right to withdraw from the Union woulC be acknowledged. but determined tt take the chance of war if that righ be denied. and to win her lndependenc' or perish in the confic., For the! were a people who knew their rights and knowing dared maintain

A FAvORITE RETREAT.

The most interesting spot to me in Twin
Valley is a corner in our front yard. OF
course there are great many lakes, parks
and hills about our home town, but to me
this little corner is the dearest. When my
mind is overloaded with trouble and every
thing seems to go wrong, a few minutes here
with the birds singing above and everything
green about me seems to drive all care away
and make me feel as happy as can be. Often
on bright moonlight summers night / will
sit in this beautiful little place, watching the
stars and clear sky above, while. the moon
watches me, and oh! how glorious it all does
seem. Give me good book to read and let
me sit in this corner in the shade OF our old
apple tree and ask for nothing better.
