California pioneer, and later he per-
formed some miracles in mining and

Richmond furnaces at Eureka, he made
fortune in Tybo. lost it in an Oregon
mine in that terrible 1893; returned to
Nevada and struggled to recuperate in
vain; at last got lease of geld mine

had just got ii paying when a fatal Ill.
ness seized him and he died there four
or FIVE years ago.
He was S5 years OF age and was
prominent on the coast for nearly half
century. lie served several terms In
the California Legislature from Plumas
County and we believe was a member
Of the first Constitutional Convention
Of that State. He was for many years
clsse friend of the late r. O. Cham.
bers. Since his death his vile mas oeeh
dropping she met with a terrible stage
accident which disabled her for months;
she has been i'll for a long time with
mind tangled out Of tune" She was
here in a hospital last year for sew
eral weeks. and repeatedly remarked
that she wished she was at rest beside
her husband.
The news Of her death is news OF a
great release for she had become bur-
den TO herself. She and her husband
had many friends all over the West.
Their lives Of late years had vastly more
sorrows than joys. 1t is a relief to
know that they are at rest.-Eyening

mia and Nevada of $1,000. 900 monthly
for the construction of the Salt Lake
and San Francisco overland line.
Work on all of the tunnels of the
new road is being rushed day and night.
There are to be SO tunnels along the
route, aggregating 52,595 feet. The
longest is the Spring Garden tunnel
through the divide between the north
fork and middle fork of the Feather
river. It is to be 1894 feet long. The
next is the Beckwith tunnel at the
summit of the Sierras, 59S9 feet long.
The third is the Flower Lake tunnel in
Nevada through the Pequop range,
which is $3.50 feet long. while the fourth
is the Niles tunnel in Alameda County,
400 feet.
By means of these tunnels most of
the grades in Nevada ami Utah will be
less than one per cent.
This low-grade system will be one of
the great features of Gould's new line.

ference with the business men of thai
camp stated that railroad building into

should be repealed, or words to that IF.

for his part he was satisfied with the
teamster. The business man was Bob
Douglass. aud in the opinion of this
paper, his logic was of better order
than that of Brock. II legislation in
the interest of the people is going to
move the railway capital to forego
needed bull ling operations, then may
the Lord hasten the day. when Uncle

ELKO INDIANS FORM A UNION
Ranchers Refuse Eight Hour
Day and $3.50 Wages and
Strike Follows.

The Indians of Elko County have or
eanized q union and are now out on
their first strike. Unless the trouble Is
settled it is probable the farmers Of that
county will suffer considerable loss be-
cause of their crops remaining unhar-
vested.
The farmers of Elko heretofore have
placed entire dependence upon Indian
labor to harvest their crops, and until
this season no trouble was experienced.
Two weeks ago an Indian who had been
in Southern Nevada. and imbued union
principles. returned to Elko and at once
began the work of organizing his tribes
men. He succeeded well. The first
knowledge the whites had Of the union
was when a delegation OF red skinned
warriors called upon George Russel,
one OF the prominent ranchers Of Elko
County. and demanded that their work.
ing day be reduced to eight hours and
the wages increased to $3.50.
The demand was refused, with the
result that every Indian in his employ
quit work. Other Indians on neighbor-
ing ranches hearing Of this also quit.
and for time trouble was looked for.
Since then some of the hay raisers have
granted the demands Of the Indians.
while others have succeeded in carrying
on their harvest with the aid Of white
men employed at Elko and neighboring
towns.-Reno Reveille.
