Tuscarora's Splen-
did Showing.

Col. w. A. Root of the Mining
World has returned from a salts
factory trip to Tuscarora, says the
Elko Independent. He expresses
himself as most highly gratified
with the future outlook of that en-
tire section. To him, as to hund-
reds of others, the situation there
is surprising one, the fact being
that promothers of mining opera
tions are not the same as in the
early days of Cripple Creek and
Leadville nor as all very we'll
know of the days of the old Com
stock and of Tuscarora.
Col. Root further states that it is

Valuable Sack Of
Flour.
Eastern Papers Recalls
an Incident in Ne
vada of 81.

The st. Louis obe-Democrat
Of recent date contains an account
of the famous -four sale in Nevada
in 1864 at Austin, r. G.. Gridley
and j. Herrick, were rival candi-
dates in municipal election. The
two men made a wager on the re-
suit of the election, the loser to
carry sack of -four a mile. If
Gridley, who was from Tennessee,
carried the -four the band was to
play "John Browns Body" but if
Herrick, the baud would play
"Dixie."
Gridley had to carry the -four,
accompanied by the greater por-
tion of the town. At the conclu-
sion Herrick offered $25 for the
-four. Then began the bidding
and finally some one proposed that
the money be donated for the fed
eral army.
Then the bidding became lively
and M. j. Noyes finally got the
sack for $3.50. The -four WAS sold
again and finally netted $500.
Gridley then started to tour the
state, selling the sack of -four. At
Virginia City the sum realized was
$4,000; Gold Hill, $8,027; Silver
City, $500; Esmeralda, $1,000;
Ophir, $1,000; Washoe City, ST.
500. Other towns and camps do
mated literally.
Finally the sack of -four was
taken to st. Louis and placed on
exhibition the public paying to
view the wonderful sack.
Later the flour was made into
ginger snaps, which sold ct 81
apiece. Altogether the 20 pound
sack of -four contributed about
81, 100000 to the relief fund.

a fact the energy and push of the
operators and promoters of Tono-
pah, Goldfield and Southern Ne
vada in general is being held in
abeyance until the passing of the
excessive hot weather and that in
six to eight weeks, they will begin
to arouse enthusiasm in Nevada
mining by an extensive system of
advertising throughout the entire

claims.
Full Text of the Proclama-
tion to Observe Labor
Day as a Holiday.

The Legislature of the State of
Nevada by an Act approved Mar.
18th, 1903, designated the first
Monday of September as Labor
Day.
Believing that the intention was
to recognize the honor and dignity
of labor, it becomes a pleasant op-
portunity to make special mention
to the people of this state by rec
ON N mending the observance of the
day in such manner as to enlist
and cultivate good feeling and
harmony in the ranks Of those who
toll, and impress the desirability
of establishing just and mutual re-
lations with those who give en-
ployment. Such conditions will
result in great benefit to all busi-
ness affairs, and give assurance of
future prosperity and content
ment.
1t is gratifying that in our State
both interests have been reason
able in setting differences without
resorting to extreme measures. 1t
is to be hoped that these relations
will continue for the public good
aud welfare of both labor and
capital.
Now, therefore. l appoint and
proclaim Monday, the 3rd day of
September, 1905, LABOR DAY.
Given under my hand and the
Great Seal of the State of Ne
vada, at the Capitol, in Carson

Political Gossip.

Now that the calls for the Demo-
cratic and Republican conventions
have been issued and the time for
the primaries is fast approaching,
discussion of political affairs is be-
coming more frequent and fore
casts as to candidates more and
more definite. The Democrats will
hold their primaries on Aug. 18th,
and their convention will be held
in Reno on Aug. 29th. The Re-
publicans will hold their primaries
on Aug. 18th, and the convention
will be held in Tonopah on Sept.
4th.

The Pioche Record says:

We still have one or two men in
this community who stand around
on the street corners and from
morning until mig hit complain
about the town, their neighbors,
their taxes and the weather. Such
men are mighty common clay and
it is fortunate we have so few of
them. Such men are of no use to
the town, their families or their
God. They seem to live but no
one can tell how. Like mosqui-
toes and flies, they are not fatal
bat disagreeable to have about.

SPARKS ON THE FENCE.

There seems to be considerable
doubt in the Democratic ranks as
to who will be their candidates for
governor says the Gazette. Sparks
does not know whether or not he
will run. He stated several times
that he positively would not be a
candidate, but Of late there has
been a growing feeling that he
was going to withdraw that state
ment and allow his name to be
used. 1t is said that his personal
wishes are to get out of politics SO
that he can attend to his business
affairs, but there are a number of
people whose fortunes depend on
the success OF Governor Sparks,
and they are accordingly doing all
they can to keep him in the race.
SAM DAVIS MODEsTY.
Sam Davis is a candidate, but
with becoming modesty he is sit
ting on the fence waiting for Gov
erno- Sparks to make up his mind.
If the governor decides that he
had better given his time and at
tention to his personal affairs alone
instead of trying to combine them
with the duties of his Office, Sam
will shy his castor into the ring
and make a campaign that will,
even If it does nothing else, add to
the gayety of the state. George
Bartlett of Tonopah is the slated
nominee for congress on the Demo-
cratic ticket and James Sweeney
will continue in the berth which
he new has and which he is loath
to leave.
MCDONALD FOR REPUBLICANS.
In the Republican domicile af-
fairs have so shaped themselves
that it looks as if Archie Mcdonald
of Virginia City will be the can
didate for Governor. He Is one oi
the strongest men in the party.
For years he has been superinten-
dent of several of the Comstock
mines, and has strong following
all over the state. He is close
friend OF labor, and has the ability
and the courage for the Office.
1t would seem to be safe pro.
phecy to say that Mcdonald will
be the Republican candidate
George Mills has taken several COY
glances at the Lieutenant govern
ship of late, but nothing definite
can be said about that appenoi,
Office. Oscar Smith has beer
reading the Congressional RECORD
with much diligence of late. the
men who ought to know are of the
opinion that would not be adverse
