MINERS RUSH TO
THE new OlGGlNGS
an RANK, HUMBOLDT COUNTY,
IS THE LATEST DIS
COVERY.

pio lodges and llch dykes Of Solu-
o.ino ore fifty miles south of Win
@nncca have caused another rush in
"a humboldt county. The latest
~ Of excitement is Gold Bank, a
aow camp that gives promise of be
,omine as rich and as great as even
rononab or Goldfeld. Already the
aov camp has a population of $50
sonlts and each day sees new arrivals
.osting their fortunes on the future
ii the promising bonanza.
News of this new rush reached
hare last evening when Ed. Benane
yeceiyed a letter stating that the
eopntry for miles around is being
.taked out and that fabulous assays
nave been secured. So great, in fact,
has been the rush that Gold Bank
as vet Is not able to boast OF a hotel.
There was one saloon last Saturday.
One venturesome man got into the
district with a roulette wheel, but
there was no faro game. An enter
arising individual offered TO paint a
faro layout, but sufficient paint could
not be found in the district. How
ever. to overcome this axle grease
was used and a table was thus rugged
ont. A. p. Connolly, well known
here. volunteered to open the game
and on the greasy layout succeeded
in winning a thousand dollars. With
this money he proceeded to buy all
the liquor in town for everybody in
camp This happened last Friday
night. The following day every mar
in the district was too sick TO work.
Thus has Gold Bank started out.
The new district is, fifty mile:
south of Winnemucca one hundred
miles north Of Wonder and FIVE miles
from Mud Springs. A. b. Connolly
and James Dugan, well known here
are among the original lo~cators. They
own the PauDer and Poverty claims
admittedly among the best in the dis
trict. The original locator was a. ?

There is every indication to war

lodges is from northerly and south
erly. The width is from three to hv.
miles, while the length is known 4
be from six to eight miles. The form

The surface Of the New Mobawl
claim. where the first big strike wa
made, shows a ledge cropping for
distance of fifteen hundred feet
Tw%enty-seyen assays from this ledg
show an average value of $7i per to

Almost u Onflagration.

A little after five O'Clock Sunday
morning Postmaster Brazael discov-
cred light in the upper story OF the
Parrish Il Tolerton store building z and
gave the alarm. When'mn entrance
had been effected it was discovered
that the northwest corner Of the up
per room was Ia fierce blaze, and II
was feared by some OF those first on
the scene that It might be difficult TO
subdue the flames. However, with the
vigorous application OF water the fire
was soon under control, and was ex.
tinguished with but small loss. One
section Of shelving was consumed, to-
gether with the goods II carried. The
loss on building is estimated 500, and
the loss on goods at $50. Loss on
building covered by Insurance. The
fire is supposed TO have caught from a
cigar stub and smouldcfcd In some
fabric upon the shelves until morniug 6
before IL burst into Il flame. When
the room was entered it was hot as an
oven, and 1t would probably not have
been much longer before the Whole
room would have been ablaze. Messrs

Now for Fire Projections,

The fire Sunday morning has
awakened our business men to realiza
tion OF our helplessness in case OF u
fire, and paper was circulated the
first Of the week TO raise funds TO pro.
cure some means OF fre.iigh ting which
was literally received. 1t seems i'm
perative that something should
be done in the way Of organization at
once, rs well as in the way OF securing
the implements with which 10 do
effective work in case Of need. Under
some conditions of wind and weather u
fire would have good chance of wip.

imperative that at the earliest prac.
ticable time we should secure au ade-
quate water supply, with sufficient
pressure 10 throw water effectively in

doubt the latter desideratum can be
realized thro ugh cooperation with the
School Of the Ozarks, in which event

Then you mention the fact that the
bill before congress prohibits the syndi.
cate from damming White river; but
you fail TO explain that the stream can
be diverted through the tunnels by a
system of dykes extending at an angle
of 45o up the river to near its middle.
A l.. BRACE, Kissee Mills, Mo.
The Republican cheerfully accords
Mr.. Brace space to set himself right.
The use Of 'houest" instead OF "promi
nent" was merely one of those acci.
dents which will occur with types, oc.
casionally, be one ever so careful.
However, it is not evident to this paper
how the character Of the man cuts any
figure ih the discussion, or how the in
cident iu question has any bearing on
the matter In hand.
As 10 the proposition to set the river
apart for public resort, instead of set.
ting apart this region Us national
park, in which Mr.. Brace says we mis-
understood him, let us say that the
proposition is one for which there Is
no precedent in this country. Even il
IL was possible for such thing to be
done, 1t sounds strange coming from
one who pleads for the navigation Of
the river. II the river were set apart
for public resort how, pray, could it
be turned TO commercial uses in the
way Of transportation Of freight?
Concerning Mr.. Braces dykes, let
him read again the bill, the clause of
which is pertinent TO his complaint

tunnels no person, company or cor

valuable suggestions for consideration.
The mail order business is the quack
doctor OF commerce. Itpromises much
and guarantees nothing. Like patent

non.returnable package before you car

MANY christians think it bad sign
TO be jubilant, and their work of self
examination is hewing down of their
brighter experiences. Like a boy with
a new jackknife, hacking every thing
he comes across, so their self examina-
ton is religious cutting TO pieces Of
the greenest things upon which they
can lay their hands. They imagine
they are doing Gods service when they

that there is no happiness in this world
for an idle woman. 1t may DO with

our families must be started with that
idea. The first lesson should be how,
under God, they may take care Of them
selves. The simple fact is that ma.
jority OF them do have to take care of
themselves, and that, too, after having
through the false notions of their par
ents, wasted the years in which they
ought to have learned how to maintain
themselves successfully. II is inhuman
and cruel for any father or mother to

and honor to them. II is a shame for a
daughter TO be idle while her mother

to sweep the house. make beds, cook
and wash dishes or trim hats as it is to
