Men who Leave Happy Homes
to Search for Gold are En-
titled to Consideration

There is probably no class OF mel
who have BY their labor and intelig
ence, contributed more to the com
forts, happiness and welfare Of man
kind than the ]prospeetor says p. Fl.
Springer in the Las Vegas Age.
The mar who leaves his home anC
loved ones to engage in warfare, is
called a hero, and he who forsakes
society and the pleasures of life on
land to follow the sea with all of its
perils, is considered a brave man and
an honor to his country, and Justly
are these honors bestowed by an APP
p~reciative admiring people upon those
to who honor is due, but let us not
forget the big .hearted, brave man
and hero who gives up all the pleas,
ures of life for the desert in search
OF gold, and under whose bones, as
they lie bleaching under the rays of
the %scorching desert sun, are the
mile-stones of civilization anu whose
HE has been given in quest of that
which makes nations prosperous and
life worth living. There never has
been and probably never will be a
substitute for gold, and still the
search goes on, and in memory of
those who have persisted and an ode
TO the living are the following verses:
Watch the p]rospector grind his way,
AS he treads the painless waste;
Hunts for precious metal
God has hidden in the earth.
With his pick, pan and shovel,
His bareback, bacon and beans,
lie packs his faithful burro
And all comforts OF life he leaves.
he may be thinking of childhood;
VI a mother loving and kind;
VI the scenes of his youth in a far
away land
Which he left; a fortune to find.
Or, he may be thinking of dearer ties,
VI a sweetheart, or a wife and babe
For whom he has toiled all these
weary years,
And longs to see ere he dies.

BUILDING
The Old Aurora Courthouse
Will be Sold by Order Of
County Commissioners.

The board Of county commissioner
Of Esmeralda county, has ordere,
the sale Of the old courthouse a
Aurora aud this recalls to the mind.
q many, the exciting days Of the Ole
town.
''The old courthouse at Aurora is
still a good building said james Nc
Cleary, one of the men who went into
Aurora in early days TO q Reno Ca
zette representative 1T was built
in the early sixties at a cost Of about
$40, 600 and furthermore was honestly
built. 1t is a two,story structure
and today is better than the one that
was put up at Hawthorne after the
seat Of the county was removed.
Aurora had a population then Of 90,
900 and the people. never had any
idea at that time that the camp
would be a struggling village twenty
years later.
''The old residents Of Esmeralda
will distinctly recall the troubles that
astended the removal of the county
seat. There was a fight over the
bill, but it finally carried after the
Esmeralda delegation had consented
to Lyon county taking a slice Of teri
tory from Esmeralda in order to get
the support Of the senators and rep
resentatives from Lyon. That
created a row Of big proportions and
il did not diminish when the cry of
fraud was raised in connection with
the construction of the courthouse at
Hawthorne"
McCreary says that old Aurora is
reviving on a big scale with the CON
struction OF the drainage tunnel and
that it is apt to become a strong
competitor with Gold6eld in the
event the seat Of the county is to be
from Hawthorne.
