A Boosters S Club.
Let's Organize One and be
Up and Doing.

Bullfrog, Manhattan and a mum
Der of other camps in Nevada have
what they call Boosters Club" i"
which has for its object the calling
of outside attention to the merits
of their respective localities. The
poss Utilities of such an organiza-
tion are limitless, and we see no rea-
son why Battle Mountain should not
be in line with simil T organiza-
ton. Boosting has made the
camps Of the State, and given the
com mon wealth a standing outside
not enjoyed for years, and now
that attention is being directed
this way, we should get in and let
the world know that Battle Noun
tain is on the map and there to
stay. We have no reason to be
ashamed of anything the district
can show, in fact, it is rather a
matter of pride. There is every
thing in the shape of metallic val
ues to be had. and it is only a
matter of getting in and letting
others know about it as well as
ourselves.
Manhattan is reaping the bene-
fit of we'll directed efforts in this
line; Goldield and Bullfrog were
pushed to the front in this manner.
and other towns could be named
by the score. which. had it not
been for the boosting done for
them, would not have been known
twenty miles away. Get in aud
boost, and all boost together.

one ledge show values as high AS
1858, and from the other $670.
Silver values as high as so ounces
to the ton have been secuerd, but
the yellow metal predominates.
Tunnels are TO be started on these
two lodges at the base of the noun
tain through which they run and
when the point underneath here
tie shafts have been started is
reached the management is con-
fident that values of sensational
nature will be encountered. Mr..
Vincent at present has force of
fifteen men at work, but at an
early date he intends to double this
number and rush development as
rapidly as possible.
DIR. Clinton and San Francisco
associates have purchased the
Cavanaugh group of claims in the
same district. This group adjoins
the Giant Hattie, which was re-
Gently taken in by San Francisco
aud Honolulu capitalists. The
Cavanaugh property is considered
among the best in the new camp
and n large force of men has been
started to work in opening it up
on an extensive scale. DR.. Clinton
has also purchased a number of
town lots in Millett and is now pre-
pairing for the erection of a 4Ox70
two story hotel. A windmill is
being installed and through this
medium water will be supplied for
the hotel and other businesses in
the new townsite.
The Rough Riders and Golden
Guinea, two other groups located
in the heart of the mineral belt,
are very promising looking prop
critics. A force of men Is work
ing on both and some excellent
showings are being made and those
who have seen them express the
opinion that both will open into
big mines.
The town of Nlillett, Mr.. Vincent
says. is growing very rapidly, and
already there are five restaurants,
five saloons, four rooming houses,
several mercantile stores, black
smith shops, and one of the finest
water supplies in the state of Ne
vada. Living is cheap and the
camp is located in the center OF an
agricultural section. E. L. DIury

Joe \. Vincent, formerly an op-
orator of the Goldtield and other
southern mining districts, but now
of the new camp Of Millett, was in
Goldfeld for n few days the first
of this week renewing acqunin-
tances and transacting business.
Millett is located midway be-
tween Manhattan and Austin. The
road from the latter town is in per
feet order aud when shipping ore
is taken out it will be an easy mat
ter to reach a market by hauling
to that town. A fat rate of Sl9
per ton, including hauling, has
been established between the new
camp and Salt Lake.
That the new camp is to be con-
nected by rail with the outside
world is almost an as ured fact.
Already three surveys have been
made by as many different CON-
panies. The Western P a j Fl c,
which is building a main line
through this state, has run a line
from Battle Mountain. If this
line is completed, and it is firmly
believed that it vii be-, it will mean
saving of over 800 miles between
Tonopah and Salt Lake. Another
crowd, in which Samuel Newhouse
and other well-known capitalists
are thought to figure very prom
inently, has run a survey from
Beowawe to Tono all. The Ne
vnda Central, hose line is opera
ting between Battle Mou, tain and
Austin, has also had n party of
engineers in the field from Austin
10 Tonopah, and it is understood
tha. that company has completed a
survey between the two camps.
All three of the surveys are rum
ming. through the great Yankee
Blade pass, one of the greatest ag-
ricultural belts in the state of Ne
vada, and besides furnishing an
outlet for the ore that will be pro
duced in the northern camps, a
road, if built, will greatly benefit
the farmers. The lines surveyed
will pass Kingston, Millett, JEFF
ferson, Round Mountain, Manhat-
tan and Tonopah.
Mr.. Vincent, who with associ-
ates, has acquired considerable
property in the northern camp is
very enthusiastic over the future
outlook of Millett and the sur
rounding country. In conversa-
ton with the Review representa-
tive he said that the camp was en-.
joying one of the booms character
istic of Nevada mining districts
and that people were coming in
daily. Among the influx is large
number of eastern capitalists who
are becoming heavily interested in
la number of good propositions
During the past two weeks several
sales have been consummated, in
which large cash payments were
made.
The Manuel Mining company
in which Mr.. Vincent is a heavy
stock-holdcr, owns twenty-si'
claims joining the townsite on The
north. There are two parable
lodges running through the prop
erty and these have been traced
for distance of $500 and 7h00 fee
respectively. The lodges show
good average width and where the,
have been uncovered the most flat
tering assays are obtained. Shaft
have been started on both ledge
and on each depth of nine fee
has been reached. The assays from

THE LIMITATION OF DAMAGES

The bill now pending in the House
% Delegates removing the limit on
recovering for death bywrongiulact.
which has been favorably reported
bv the Committee on Courts OF JUS
tice, seems fair and proper one. As
the law now stands it is somewhat
remarkable. A person injured on "a
railroad train, steamboat. street
ear or other public conveyance may
recover unlimited damages in the
discretion Of the jury and the court,
while on the other hand had the
same person been killed instead OF
= injured. his administrator Is limited
i'm his recovery to the maximum sum
of ten thousand dollars. We have
never been able to understand why
aniniured party should be allowed
to recover more than the family OF a
dead one. A mans life is worth.
looked at from a legal standpoint
alone, various amounts, according
to his earning capacity, etc, but az
the law now stands on our statute
books no man 5 life is to be valued
at a greater amount than ten thous-
and dollars. though the same man..
il injured only, may mulct the raul
road or steamboat company IN a
sum far in excess OF that amount.
The damages resulting from death.
by wrongful act, as it is known to
the law, should be left to the Jury.
the latter to he held in check as at
present by the court, should they
show disposition to assess dam
ages against the company gre"er
than the nature of the ease requires.
There seems no good reason why
the present limit OF ten thousand
dollars should obtain any longer
since there are many cases in which
this measure of damage does not
compensate. even legally, Tor the
damage done. The bill viii doubt
less provoke a warm discussion III
both House and Senate. but We adj
here to the belief that its justice and
fairness will appeal to a majority OF
our representatives.

UNNECESSARY

While this talk DEMONSTRATING the
Corporation Commission is in prog
ress. allow us to ask what the Legis-
lature proposes to investigate!
While we believe the Y. NJ. |. trouble
was exaggerated there might have
been room for investigation there.
but when it comes to investigating
the Corporation Commission the
whole thing in nothing but a pure
and simple absurdity. Who is it in
this State, We wonder who believes
that any art of its chairman, Judge
Beverley T. Crump, ever demanded
investigation? Is there any one
who believes that Mr. Stuart or Mr.
Fairfax, now retired, or Capt. Viii
lard has done anything improper?
The whole thing seems uncailed for.
There was, it is true, some talk In
connection with the creation of the
corporation company to obtain
charters, in which Maj Lanier and
Others were interested: but there was
evidently nothing in this needing
investigation, though the incident
was somewhat unfortunate The
CORPORATION Commission is. in our
humble Judgment, composed OF men
whose character is beyond reproach
and in whom we believe the people
OF this State have absolute and com
plete confidence. The Commission,
we believe, has the best interests OF
Virginia at heart, and has already
done a vast amount of good in this
Commonwealth. The Legislature
viii in all probability refuse to take
any action looking to this talked OF
investigation.
