A Monte Carlo For Nevada

New York. July 30.-A number of
prominent turfmen Of this city are
working on a scheme which embraces a
Monte Carlo for Nevada. 1t is claimed
that q syndicate, headed by Abe Levy
and Riley Grammar. has been formed
aud that it is ready to expend half a
million dollars on the projects it has in
view. 1t is intended TO select the
most available site in Nevada. and there
establish a resort that will eclipse any
thing Of its kind III this country. The
fact that Nevada Is a wide-open State.
ami that out there there is no limit ex-
cept the blue vault of heaven, makes
the promoters believe that the project
should be successful from the start.
Although no place has been selected it
is thought that Reno. the largest city
in the State. will be chosen because of
its accessibility and beautiful surround
iugs. Definite work will be begun
early In the Fall. Immediately after the
end of the racing season in the East.

A court house building of the at
tractive and creditabe character
which the county com missioners will
erect for White Pine, now that the
question is up, should un1uestionably
go on the most creditable, attractive
and valuable site that may be found
available in the industrial and COM
mercial center of the county. Such
a site is not in Ely, but in Ely City,
where in a year or more the big end
of the business of the district will
be transacted and where next year
taxes paid will be largely in excess
of those paid by Ely proper.

or all the silly twaddle that
the imported editor of the News has
yet INDUCED in, the proposition to
remove the court house to Ely City
knocks the persimmon. The people
all know that the special act author
izing the issue of bonds for the cree
ton of new court house also pro-
vides that the new edifice shall be
erected on the present site. TIE pro-
prietors of the News know this, but
in their zeal to hurt Ely they have
doubtless instructed their new editor
to pursue as rabid a policy toward
Ely as possible, and surely he is car
rying out instructions. The editorials
of the News in regard to the new
school house are also uncalled for,
misleading and untrue. The News
has descended from the position of a
dignified and respected journal to
that of personal organ, and its ut
terances are 81 considered. IT is lay.

ND now there is another case Of
IA the Indian bureau and the army
being at outs on the proper treatment
of the Indians. Captain Carter P. John
son, than whom there isn't a better
officer in the service, thinks it would
be unwise to try to force the Utes to
go to work by the semi starvation
method. The Indian bureau thinks that
the Withholding of rations is the best
plan to make the Utes take up the
shovel and the hoe.
Without any attempt to go into the
merits of the present case, it may be
said that the history of the country
shows that where the army has been
left to deal with the Indian in time
of peace better results have been at
tanned than when the civilian tried
his hand at the dealing. The dead
Indian is said to be the good Indian.
The hungry Indian is always a bad
Indian. If Captain Johnson gets a
chance to feed the Utes and TO treat
them as he wants to treat them, it is
a pretty safe assumption that he will
have them at work within a week.
The army has always been called in
to take a hand in Indian troubles
