First Visit to America.

His first visit to America was in 1862
when he came over to see for himself how
matters stood, to study public sentiment, to
observe the progress of the civil war and
TO obtain material for newspaper and mag
the London Times and the increasing SYM
patty Of the British people for the south
ern confederacy. He went to Boston, car
rying letters Of introduction to the leading
literary lights, and fell in with Mr.. Lowell.
DR.. Holmes and others, who became his in
innate friends for life To them the greater
part of the letters interpolated in his
biography were addressed, and he unbur-
dened his soul in the correspondence. After
several weeks in Boston he made an extern
sive extended tour of the north. visiting
New York Washington. Philadelphia, Mag
ara Falls Buffalo, Chicago. st. Paul, st.
Louis and other parts of the west, spent
several days with Gen. Meade on the Rap
pahannock, and then returned to Boston.
He wrote his mother almost daily graphic
descriptions of his experiences and the
people he met on his travels. and some of
his references to our national idols are
rather irreyerent
He observes that the people Of Boston
are "sallow and thin" and resemble the
caricatures of Yankees in Punch: but
Come to talk to them, as the man says
In the Bigelow Papers they amt so differ

crammed full OF the war, to the exclusion
of everything else. i met Holmes (Dr

Taylor defense made by the Post.
II Dick has forgotten to pass the

nerve is the attitude of II. ]. Holmes
in denouncing Senator Taylor. who
for years has been almost his only
political friend and supporter.

politics and his political methods.
but we fail to see wherein they are
any worse than during all the time
Mr. Holmes was shying occasional
bouquets in his direction.
THE reason for the change of at

make Holmes appear stupid and RI
diculous, even more so than usual,

dared to take employment from a
corporation (Horrors!) and do his
work and accept pay for the same. all
of which is considered perfectly le-
Ultimate and permissible in the best
quarters, and this is PARTLY at least
responsible for the breech.
ANYWAY. those who have observed
Senator Taylor's conduct of late do
not notice that 1t is any worse than
during all the time Holmes has been
complimenting him. which leads
many to wonder IL Taylor considers
his support out of proportion to the
service and has with hdrawn his allow

There is much to say In answer
to the above; but we will not try

why does he butt into this expose
that the Avalanche is making of Tay-

let him come on: 1t is better so than
II Mr.. Taylor had no paper to defend
him. There are many things the Post
can explain for the gentleman as we
go further into his history. The peo-
pie must know that there has been
no disagreement between Senator
Taylor and H. ]. Holmes personally.
We have never exchanged a cross
word. The full story will come out

NEVADA RoCxLAND

r. W. Landrum has zone to Rockland
New, in the capacity of consulting en-
gineer for the Nevada-Rockland Mining
and Milling company. This company
composed of Pittsburg and Los Angeles
capitalists, is about to start it's new loo
ton dry crushing and c%yaniding plant,
which has been in course of erection for
the past six or eight months. The mine
is situated in the northwest corner OF
Esmeralda county, and about three
miles south of Pine Grove, has over one
mile of development work on it and
mar thousand tons of medium grade
ore blocked out and ready for stopping.
Some of the ore is exceedingly high
grade and much of this class encoun-
tered in development has gone into
sacks. John F. Baxter. formerly of
Pittsburg. but now of Los Angeles and
Pasadena, Cal, is president of the com
pany.
For the present the company will use
steam power, but expects to use electric
power later on. Non of the stock of
this mpan is on the market.
1t is distant from Wabuska, the near
est railroad station. about so miles; all
freight goes in by wagon but the road
is good, except the last few miles which
is over heavy grade. the mine and mill
being near $500 above sea level.

On account of the large flow of water
coming into the double compartment
shaft being sunk on the I-ntermountain
Metal Mining ~company's property on
Winnemucca mountain, Superintendent
w. c. a has deemed Ii advisable
to close down until a steam pump can
be installed. The boiler to be used in
connection with the pumping plant is on
the depot platform and will be hauled
to the mine at once.
G. Troxel and A. NJ. Hotchkiss have
a group of four claims located in Rose
Creek canon in the Dun Glen range,
about IL miles from Winnemucca, and
are opening up some nice bodies of ore.
The main ledge is over three feet wide
and traceable on the surface for several
hundred feet. The ore carries a large
percentage of lead and assays show
values of $50 in silver to the ton.
C. M. Harvey came in Wednesday
from New Central with 1000 pounds of
ore from the Golden Eagle and Gold Hill
mines at that camp. The ore is an as
sorted lot of specimens and was shipped
to A. NJ. A. Richardson. secretary of
the Nevada Golden Eagle Mining com
pany of New York and is to be used for
exhibition purposes in that city on the
18th of next month.-Winnemucca Star.
