worth the price. At present he is
working with the railroad gang.
1t seems to us that Judge Gillett
is entirely too lucky. Right on
the heels of his endorsement by the
democrats, making his reelection
absolutely certain and easy, he
came over to Barber county and
went up to the Farley lake a few
miles north Of the city and hooked
a big string of fish, among them a
fine 5-pound bass. The Judge had
quite tussle with the big fellow
and by the time he got him to
shore the hook was almost straight
and in releasing the bass the hook
broke. He is carrying the hook in
in his vest t,pocket and has more
faith in it than a rabbits foot.

The Round Mountain Nugget

political pot has found the fol-
lowing well-known Nevadans who
will probably come before the
people this Fall, and says:
1t is now almost a settled fact
that George A. Bartlett of Tono-
pah will be the Democratic nomi-
nee for Congress, and that Oscar
j. Smith, the Reno banker, will be
the Republican candidate.
The many friends of Mr.. Bart
lett are urging the fact hat he is
the strongest man the party can
nominate, but the gentleman is
not seeking the honor, in fact he
is not very anxious to give up the
best legal practice in Nevada for
the honor of representing the
State in Congress.
Mr.. Bartlett's great ability is
recognized by all, and he would
certainly make a representative
that the State would be proud OF.
He was raised in Eureka, Ne
yada, and is known and uni
versally esteemed throughout the
length and breadth of the State.
If he will accept the nomination
he will u like q race horse.

Elaborate Scheme Of County Division

Counties. His scheme would
heavily reduce the size of Esmer-
aida, Nye and Lincoln, but they
would still be left several times
larger than some of the eastern
States.
The two most important effects
of the measure would be to take
Bullfrog from Nye and give it to
Bullfrog County, and the removal
of the Goldfeld country from
Esmeralda to Nye County. While
Nye might consent to such an
arrangement, it is certain that
the northern part of Esmeralda
would make strong objection.
