MIR. sweeney,s Opinion.

Attorney-Genera Sweeney has re-
turned to Carson after a pleasant two
weeks s%ojourn in Tonopah and adjacent
camps. Upon reaching home he was
interviewed by a News reporter to
whom he spoke in the highest terms of
Southern Nevada. In speaking Of Man
haitian Mr.. Sweeney expressed himself
as follows:
Lots are selling as high as $4,000
apiece in Manhattan and every pros
pect Of them going equally as high as
they sold in Goldfeld when the boom
was on in that camp. One lot to my
knowledge sold in California for $10,-
900. Everything is full of life in Man
haitian and hourly reports r coming
in from the surrounding country of new
strikes and a day never passes in Man
haitian proper that new, rich strikes
are not made in the hundreds of leases
which are now being worked. There
are at present not less than twenty
leases that are sacking and shipping
ore. These leases are not on one ledge
but on several leases in different direc-
tons from the town, which insures the
permanency of the camp.
There is plenty Of wood and water
at Manhattan. Wood by the cord may
be obtained for from "a to SIS.
During the next ten years | have no
hesitancy in predicting that there will
be at least 25 camps equally as rich
and permanent as Tonopah.
Tonopah and Goldfeld are looking
great and have proven their permanency
for the next 10 or Is years at least.
Attention is again directed toward
the Kawich range and the development
work now being pushed in Kawich and
Silver Bow insures big doings in both
Of these camps during the present
year.

Governor by the Silver party. Upon
the death of Governor Jones one year
later he become Governor. In 1898 he

Chairman Hepburn has reported his
railway rate measure to the house, with
the favorable recommendation of the
entire interstate and foreign commerce
committee, including all the Republican
and Democratic members. The report
is a comprehensive one and the com
mittee states that it is the product Of
several years consideration by the com
mittee. Section A of the bill is all
important. 1t confers powers on the
commission to establish a rate or to
declare what will be q proper charge in
a certain instance. The bill provides
for two additional members of the COM
mission, the term of service for a COM
missioner being increased to seven
years and the salary to $40, 900. There
is every reason to believe that the bill
will pass both houses and become a law.

c. A. Luhrs, who died in Sacramento
on the 25th instant, was one of the pio-
nee business men of the Pacific coast.
He was a German, but came to America
in his youth. For some years he lived
in New York and finally settled in Sac
rmento, where he associated himself in
the firm of Hall, Luhrs & Co., being one
of the founders in 1877. This firm sup
piled the first goods shipped to Tono-
pah, and has been a strong supporter
of this camp ever since, the active
members having invested in several of
the mines, and Mr.. Luhrs being inter-
ested in some at his death. MIR. Luhrs
has always been one of the foremost
supporters of any measures for the bet
terment of his own community or any
worthy charity, always supporting any
projects for the benefit of the people,
or the material interests of the COM
munity both morally and financially.
He is survived by a wife, Mrs. Anna
Luhrs, and two sons who are now at
tending the University of California,
at Berkeley.
Mr.. A. Y. Williams, of the Lothrop-
Davis Co., who had been in the firms
employ from 1880 to 1904, attended the
funeral. Mr.. Luhrs was a heavy holder
of Montana onopah stock, which he
repeatedly refused to sell though the
stock was always on the rise.

TERRIBLE CYCLONE
STRIKES NEW ORLEANS.
Cyclonic Disturbance Brswed in thu
Gulf eliminates and Destroys Mil
lions of Property.

Special to THE HERALD
New Orleans. La, Sept. Is
The cyclonic disturbance which
has been brewing in the Gulf OF
Mexico for several days, culminat-
ed today in a most terrific cyclone
which struck New Orleans with
most disastrous results. The path
of the hurricane was marked by
the wrecking of innumerable build
ings and the city is filled with
debries.
The loss of property is estimated
at fully three million dollars.
Strange to say, not a single life
is known to have been lost in the
storm.
Reports of bad storm on the
Gulf of Mexico were received here
yesterday from various points on
the coast. A wind of from so to
90 miles an hour was reported all
along the Gulf coast from points
in Alabama westward to the mouth
of the Mississippi.
At Bay St. Louis the outlook
was very alarming and great dam
age is feared there. Sailing yes
sells were running for shelter and
great booms of logs broke loose in
Jordan river.
The water in Lake Ponchartrain
rose several feet suddenly yester-
day morning. Great damage was
done by the water in outlying por-
tons of the city and especially at
West End.

SUNDAY SCHEDULE.
THE ATTACK ON SENATOR
BAILEY

The Washington correspondent
of the Houston Post is of the
opinion that the furious onslaught
of the Houston anti Bailey bureau
against Senator Bailey was in
process OF incubation fer some time
previous to the developments in
the Waters Pierce oil company
cases at St. Louis, and the latter
event was only made a pretext for
the attack. 1t appears quite prob
able that this is true, as senatorial
bees are suspected of buzzing in
the headgear of several prominent
Texans. Still, even Mr.. Bailey
warmest advocates must admit that
the Waters Pierce revelations, fol-
lowing upon the attack upon him
by a certain northern and pre-
sumabIy disinterested magazine
and especially since the senator 5
own speech of self vindication in
the senate, in which he avowed
ignorance of the relations existing
between the Waters Pierce and
Standard Oil companies, have
injured him greatly in the opinion
of many of his constituents.
THE HERALD feels, however,
that the senator should be given
full opportunity to explain matters
to his constituents. It should not
be forgotten that, in humiliating
one of the highest officials of our
state, we humiliate the state itself,
and that, should disgrace attach to
this official, the party which
placed him i'll Office must share in
a measure the same odium.
Senator Bailey has, time aud
again, made his state proud and
has won the plaudits of all the

nation by the display of his great
oratorical genius in the senate.
He has easily woa high place in
that exclusive body as one of its
brainiest members. His unusual
abilities have attracted the atteu-
ton of all the Uuion and have
won for him the distinction of be-
ing repeatedly spoken of as the
possible candidate of his party for
president.
In view of his past distinguished
services, and for the sake of Tex
as own good name, and of the
standing of Texas democracy, then,
it IS but just that the democrats of
Texas give him full hearing be-
fore cordemning him. Let us
rather defend him against the vile
charges made against him, unless
it be clearly proven that there is
no ground on which to base de-
