The FomOus Old Mayday And Gypsy Once
Great Producers are again on the Pay Roll
Aftera Lapse Of Several Years.
What Practical Commonsense has Accomplished VS.
& Excessive Technical IMAGINATION.
Especial cOrrespondent.)

In the early days the mines of
this district were extensively
worked and produced several
hundred thousand dollars in high
grade silver-iead ore. Like the
other mines oEtbis section when
silver dropped work was sus-
pended, machinery moved and an
exodus set in for newer fields.
The toKn of Bristol once had
several thousand population,
smelter furnaces and reduction
works were in active commission,
everything was life, hustle and
hustle and many fortunes were
made off the product of its
mineral.
But since that t>time the camp
has been considered by many a
back number-an old worked out
district and has been turned
down galore by mining engineers
from almost everywhere. The
veins like every mine in this en-
tire belt faults and it faults
regularly, yet in most of the
mines the rich ore was not re-
covered until recently. The
present Bristol Company a few
years ago spent something like
$40, 1000 in exploring the lower
levels of the Mayday and Gypsy
with unsatisfactory results.
The mines in that district carry
cSppeF ana the copper solutions
from the main ledge have pre-
cipitated this metal in the water
courses and crevices on the foot
wall, having appearance in some
instances Of forming chambers
and ore shoots. 1t is this feature
which has led so much capital
astray and caused the district to
be condemed by those supposed
to know.
Recently these two mines were
turned over under lease to VIM.

A Reno law firm has been en-
gagged by some small retail liduor
dealers in the western part of
Nevada to test the constitution
ality Of the law passed by the
recent legislature providing in
creased licence for the sail of
liquor. A memper of the law
firm in speaking of the matter,
said: ''The retail dealers we re-
present believe that they should
not be compelled to pay as much
tax as tho larger and richer re-
tail dealers and say that the tax
should be graded in accordance
with the amount of liquor sold in
each saloon. They claim that
the small dealer as well as the
large dealer is compelled to pay
a tax of $50.
J. A. Nesbitt received yester-
day atfine bar and saloon fixtures
of the Brunswick make and has
had his saloon building re-
papered and fixed up in A No. ]
style. Jimmy is getting ready
for the boom that is sure to
strike us in q few months.

common-sence miners, who have
developed in a short period of
a few months values in excess of
anything taken from the mines
heretofore.
The main ledge carrying high
grade ore has been recovered,
is being sunk on and ore blocked
out in enormours quantities for
future extraction, and freight
teams cannot be had to handle
the ore now being placed in the
bins and on the dumps.
This too, has all been done in
virgin ground, and the recovery
of the ore was so simple it would
knock the average mining en-
gineer off the perch. 1t is es-
tinlated that the value of this
property has on this account
been increased 200 per cent and
that a bond for a large amount
is being considered by eastern
parties. Mr.. Gelder of New
York, one of the main owners,
is now at Bristol looking after
his interests there.
But there are other mines in
that district just as good, have
produced just as much and under
ordinary direction will very likely
produce just as much more.
There are mines from Comet
to Bristol and from Phoebe to
Stampede Gap (which could be
made profitable producers with a
reasonable amount Of money and
a little wild-hog sense.
There are mines in and around
this town possessing ore in pay
ing quantities if the owners had
a little more means and energy
enough to, 20 after them. There
are innumerable opportunities
for judicious investment OF
capital in this section w hich
doubt exists anywhere else il
Nevada.

COURTHOUSE.
This place needs considerable over
hauling; the plastering is IN bad con-
dition and needs immediate attention.
This condition has been referred TO by
previous grand inries and steps should
be taken without delay to make the
needed repairs. The grounds around
the courthouse need cleaning and
clearing, and we would recommend
tn at trees and shrubs be planted there
in and the surroundings of the court
house thereby beautifed, as this could
be. and would be, made one Of the
most attractive squares ia Donald
sonville. We must say that the inside
of the building is sadly neglected and
the janitor extremely negligent and
careless IN keeping this place in
clean and orderly manner. The sani-
tary closets are in an extremely bad
condition and no attention seems 10
be paid to these. II something is not
done at once, the sanitary conditions
ia the courthouse will be source OF
disease. We would urge upon those
who have control ever the janitor to
see that he performs his duties.

Gonzales Depot Controversy.

Inc suit OF the Louisiana hallway
and Navigation Company versus the
Louisiana Railroad Commission will
be argued in the district court at
Baton Rouge next Friday, the 9th
inst, with Attorney General w alter
Guion representing the railroad COM
mission and Attorneys Laycock and
Beale, of Baton Rouge, the plaintiff
company. The question involved is
the right Of the railroad commission
, TO change the location of the E. r.
and N. Company's depot at Gonzales,
and the outcome Of the suit will be
awaited with general public interest
and concern.
Briefly, the facts in the case are
these. The railroad company selected
site for its depot some distance north
of the village OF Gonzales, alleging
that at no other place IN the neigh bor-
hood are grounds available for the
construction OF the necessary side
citizens OF Gonzales favored this site,
but others deemed it inconvenient TO
travellers. shippers and the public
generally ID that vicinity, and thought
the depot should be located nearer the
business center OF the community.
They accordingly presented petition
to the railroad commission asking that
the site be changed. The commission,
after making an examination OF The
premises, ordered the railroad COM
Dany TO locate it's depot on the site
selected by the citizens, and the valid
ity OF this order Is now being attacked
In the courts.
