high grade carbonate ore out of their
Red Star claim for shipment, and

Lively at Wabuska.

Travel over the Nevada & Califor.
mia road has been quite brisk of late,
and the freight business of the road
is increasing rapidly. This, with
the Bodie freight going out OF Wa
buska, makes that little railroad
town quite lively burg. The rail
road company will soon begin en-
larging the passenger depot at Wa
buska, and will also put up a large
feight shed. The freight for Mason
Valley, alone, is growing to be quite
an item to the company.

The Sun In Error.

The Tonopah Sun of last Monday
states that Donald B. Mcpherson,
the mining engineer who spent some
weeks in Tonopah recently, has con-
cluded negotiations with the owners
of the Bluejay, Lud wig and Blue
stone mines in Mason Valley, and in
connection with John North, of the
Federal Mining Co., of the Occur
d'Alene district, Idaho, will soon be-
gin active mining operations on
these properties.
The Sun is greatly in error in the
above statement. Mr.. Mcpherson
authorizes us to state that there is
no truth whatever the statement.
The Bluestone mine is owned by M.
J. Heller and the Lud wig by large
company which will operate the
property itself. Mr.. MCPHERSON has
a short option on the Bluejay copper
prospect in this district, which is a
very promising piece of property,
and he is here now giving the entire
district a thorough investigation.

for mining journals, was an arrival
from Denver Monday. He has writ
ten some very interesting matter re-
lating to the Walker River Reserva-

country of late, and this is his third
visit here. He is here to stay for a
month or more on prospecting
trip, and is very sanguine that this
is about the most promising mining
district in the State of Nevada for
the prospector. The outside world
will probably be treated to more
news from this section from his pen.

shrubbery. trees and flowers, and in
general way beautity your place.

dent of Omaha who pushes a pencil
for a living. He is a mild-mahnered,'
inofensive and scholarly gentleman.
In private life he is courtesy itself, and
in all things co~nsiderate and kind. Mr..
LEIGHTON knows the west, and in such
of his stuff as is intended for home
consumption ~cheerfully gives us that
credit which he comedies is our Just
due. | can recall a conversation had
with him only a few months ago in
which he expressed his satisfaction as
a western nan in the fact that Wyo-
ming was the first state in the union
to cut out the use of Mr.. Bryan's face
powder at the polls; that in sending
Frank Mondell to congress right along
as his own successor We showed our
good sense, and that in the reelection
of Senators Warren and Clark by unan
imous vote and without the expendi-
ture of a dollar for legislative dope
as had been the rule which he was
sure our next legislature would follow
had set a world-pace of which he
was proud. If called upon for an honest

a commonwealth are clean and devoid
