It was the noisiest and most lawless
convention we ever attended. Tempo
rary chairmanEricson presided, but the
permanent chairman was a mere pas
senger on wild freight, which broke
away from its engine on numerous down
grades and sharp curves.

All attempts TO break into the solid
lines OF the two factions met with no
success. There was scarcely q yaria-
tion of overa dozen votes on the various
candidates, except once or twice when
the votes were divided among two or
three candidates. 1t was expected that
Senator Gamble would run ahead OF the
ticket, but he received only eight
more votes than Crawford for Cover
nor. The high man with the stalwarts
was Rice for railroad commissioner, who
received 9IO votes and Mr.. .McDougall for
lieutenant governor reached the high
mark for the insurgents, 4S3.

The nominating speeches, as usual,
were bore and did nobody any good.
But the American politician must have
oratory and the rising young statesmen
from the cow counties cannot be de-
prlved of the glory of such prominence
and opportunity. You can pull the
tall all out of the spreadeagle by limit
ing the nominating speeches to three
minutes and the seconding speeches
to thirteen seconds, as was actually
done, but the old bird will Hap his
wings, wag his abbreviated tail and
cast his good eye toward the blue

The east stone wall of the Rockhill
building, now in course of construction
on Aultman street, and to whidh is an
chored the Northern hotel building,
seems to be settling. The work may
have to be done all over again. The
NEWS has tried to impress upon those
building structures to do what they do
do right in the first instance, so as to
not have it to do all over again. The
building of city is not so easy, and is
far more important than boys game
of marbles. In the hurry and hustle
incident to starting a city some times
it paws to make haste slowly.

Believes BlackhOrse
Will Be Great Camp

The Blackhorse district combines all
the characteristics of Goldfeld, Ely
and Duck Creek, said a gentleman just
in from the first named camp, land l
actually look for it to be the greatest
mining district in Nevada, although it
is so close to the line that it seems
more a Utah camp than otherwise.
Within radius of few miles it has
parallel ledges of gold, copper and lead
ore, and as say, the characteristics of
the several formations are those of
Goldfeld, Ely and Duck Creek. "
This similarity is not to be wondered
at when it is known that the great
dyke running through that region is
traceable all the way from Goldfield to
Ely. BY the sometimes inscrutable
action of the elements the three
mineral formations bearing gold, copper
and lead have been brought close to-
gether at this point and | look for 1t
to develop into wonderful combina-
ton camp. The three mineral zones
are distinct and separate and the led
ges are proving wonderfully strong.
"While there | went into the shaft
of the San Pedro mine, where two rich
strikes have recently been made, and |
found it almost the exact counterpart
of the shaft of the Combination at
Goldfeld. The similarity Of the forma-
ton was most striking, the ore being
in precisely the same character ofrhyo-
lite.
"Blackhorse is to-day assuming just
tbout the proportions of Goldfield two
years ago, but it has better prospect
of becoming great camp than Gold
field had at any time. The values are
even better at the same stage of de-
velopment and they are improving at
depth in manner which foretells great
things. If things sensational are not
heard from the Blackhorse district in
the next few months you may put me
down for false porphet. "

WATER RIGHTS
FOR PROJECTED
SHELTERS

ranches between Lund and Preston SO
as TO get the water Without the
water, the fertile ranches Of that sec
ton would be almost worthless. and the
ranehers, who are expecting the com
ing of smelter, have determined to
sell the land with the water, if they
sell at all. This would mean the break
ing up Of two communities, there being
80 or 40 families at Lund and Is OF
20 families at Preston.
At Preston there is flow of 1000
inches of water and at Lund 315.
About two thirds of the Preston water
is used by Lund ranchers. Each flow
of water is controlled by a company
and about 2,200 shares in these COM
panies are held by the ranchers.
The Lund water flows from the White
head ranch. This ranch controls IS
inches of water direct from the springs
and is the only water that could be sold
separately to company without Il
protest from the shareholders in the
Lund company The ranch got its
water while it was owned by Bishop
Judd. He thought that as the ranch
was on the extreme southern portion of
the irrigated district, it would be un-
fair to assess him for keeping the miles
of ditch running away from his prop
erty to the northwest and was allowed
the 65 inches, which flow into his own
ditch from the springs.
1t was reported during the week that
three White River ranches had been
sold, James McQuen's 100 acres for
$4,000; George Hayden's AGO for 81, 200;
and Joseph Judd's 440 acres for $4,000.
Mr.. Judd, who was in town yesterday
said that he had not sold his ranch, and
that he heard of the reported sale for
the first time on his arrival in Ely.

Capital Turns 10
Dolly Warden District

During the past few days, a number
of mining men and capitalists have
made trips of inspection to the mines
in the vicinity of Dolly Warden and
have returned to Ely with very favora-
bic reports. 1t is probable that there
will be considerable mining activity
there in a short time. Much of the
ground around Dolly Warden is own
ed by Ely men, and they are pressing
their development work in the confident
expectation Of seeing the district speedi-
ly come to the front as an important ore
producer.

With several railroads on the point
of commencing the construction Of
tracks to Ely and rich new mining
regions being openedup in this vicinity,
there is a great rush for control of
properties that offer advantages for
smelter sites. Agents of mining COM
panies and spectators have secured
options upon nearly all of the nearby
ranches that have remained unsold,
and have gone as far as Preston and
Lund in search of promising locations.
1t seems certain that within few
years there will be q cluster of big
smelters in the territory adjacent to
the camp and that the industrial ac-
tivity here will exceed even the most
sanguine expectations.
Michael Leggett, of the Butte and
Ely Copper company, made a flying
trip to Preston and Lund few days
ago 1t is said that his mission was
the securing of water rights, options
upon ranches and in an effort to secure
the water with which the ranches are
irrigated for projected smelter. Most
of the water rights near Ely have al
ready been bought up, and promoters
of smelling enterprise have been forced
to scour a wide region in search of suit
able locations. The conditions around
Preston and Lund are admirably fitted
for smelling enterprises.
SO far as could be learned, the only
water that the Butte and Ely company
has secured is that of Bishop O. H.
Snow. of Lund. The stream comes
from Water canyon, about eight miles
on this side of Preston, and is used in
irrigating the Snow ranch. .>-s...
A. R. Whitehead, of the Ely Mer-
camille Co., has the only other water
in the vicinity of Lund and Preston at
the disposal of an individual. All the
other water is held by two companies.

put up a plant in the White River
region, it will probably be necessary
