EXPLAINS MATTER
IN REFERENCE TO
PARADISE MASQUERADE
Hon B. F. Riley, Who Acted as One
ofsthe Annomcers on That Occa-
SION, Offers Explanation in Re-
gard to the Published List
of Names

The Silver State is in reccfpt of 9.
communication from Hon. b. +. Riley
of Paradise Valley, who acted az one
of the announcers on the occasion Of
the annual masquerade in the Valley
on .he 22nd Of February. Mr.. Riier
Offers an explanation in reference to
the list of maskers that the Silver
State had made arrangements through
its regular correspondent in Paradise
Valley to procure as news matter for
this paper, but which through some
IN his communication Mr.. Riley
demonstrates in conclusive manner
entire ly to the satisfaction of the pub
Usher of this paper, that it was
no fault of his that the Silver State
was seooped in the matter of the list
of maskers. As we understand it,
the people of Paradise Valley are cog
infant with the facts in reference to
the matter, and though at one time
we were temptc 1t to eriticise the ae-
tions of those whom we felt were
guilty of deliberate design to scoop
this paper, we have passed the matter
up. believeing that every knock de
livered in such manner is boost
for the person or institution against
whom it is made and the boomt rang
effects castigation enough for the per
petrator thereof.
1t has gwen us considerable pleas
ure to receive Mr.. Riley's communica-
tion, and although for the reasons
named above we do not publish It,,
we sincerely appreciate the spirit
which prompted him in writing.

CONFINEMENT

A dear little cot in the wildwood,
It's wide walls plain and bare,
Where two hearts dwell together,
And life knows no sorrow or care.
There loves sun first smiled on me
gently;
There Just as bride | was brought;
And no mansion, no matter how lovely
Could seem half so grand as my
cot.
Time hurries by, till the sunshine
Has deepened to twilight, yon see
And / hear footsteps marring tae st IL
ness,
And listen, and know it is he.
My home seems to me like castle !;
For one I'd exchange it not;
Love in so true manner
Could never be sold or bought
And life's sweetest memories will
linger
Round my heart when time changes
it all;
When the young life now brought
as the sunlight
Shall be darkened and noariag life s
Fall.
A poor little cot in the wildwood,
Where two hearts beat as one,
And life seems paradise only
NY lot I'd exeshange for none.

the railroads have been shown that
when the people Of Nevada decide
that they want measure enacted

The effort to divide the legislature or

today, at O'Clock, the railroad bill

was Senator Woodbury. of Carson
Senator Campbell of Lincoln talked
against the measure, but voted for II

MORE MARVELLOUS ORE TO
RIVAL WINGFIELD'S FIND

RENO, New, March 1.-Georgc
Wingfeld has n rival for his California
ore. People who saw it stood in aw
leforc the gold-frceklod quartz, but
Arthur Smith, of the Elite saloon, has
been down in Placer county and he
has come back with samples of orc
which makes Wingfeld's valuable ore
look cheap.
Smith has placed the ore on exhi
bition in the showcase at the Overland
hotel.
The ore which Smith and Ed Quiglc.,
are exhibiting comes from the Drum
mond mine, about five miles from
Wingfcld's now ella m. They have an
option for one year on the prop rty
and are looking for some one to bond
the property. Smith has plenty of
faith in the mine but he hasn't tho
money to develop it.
The Drummond mine belonged f G..
+. Reed. Upon his death the fmino
was closed, and is still part the
estate. There is an 1,s0afoot tunnel
into the ledge, and it was always
rich mine. But he has the report Of
w. S. Graham, surveyor general of
California, to show that the averag
has been about 81. For California
mine, with plenty of timber and wa.
ter handy, that is good pay.
When Smith was in California n
few days ago he found that great ex-
element had been caused by Wing
fields purchase. In Colfax every avail
able rig was employed taking mining
men into the Forest Hill country, and
they are flocking in from all d rec
tions. Many Nevada men have gone
into this country to take up property.
From Forest Hill comes the report
that Wingficld is making ready to
operate the mine on gigantic basis.

long, vigorous campaign, in which the
forces of the railroads were arrayed
against the people of the state, the
railroad bill has passed the legislature

what the governor will sign the bill.
as the demands of the people have
been voiced in nouncerta n tones. and
no man would dare defy the wishes of
his state to the extent of vetoing a
measure which had been fought for
in such devoted fashion.
This morning the bill was reported
favorably by the committee on rail
roads, and half past one O'Clock this
afternoon was set as the time when it
should be considered by the senate
Long before that hour arrived the sen
ate chamber was crowded to the doors
The assembly adjourned for the dav
and the members took seats with tn
senators. Hundreds of Carson peopli
and strangers from outside places
were present. The air was charged
with expectancy, even though the ger
eral understanding was that the vote
in favor of the bill would be practi
cally unanimous.

New York, Sept. 26.-The prospects
for a race for Americas cup next year
were improved greatly today by the
announcement of Sir Thomas Lipton
that he will submit another challenge
specifying a ninety-foot boat, as rep
resentative of the Royal Irish Yacht
Club. Members of the New York
club were reticent as to the action
that would be taken by that organi-
zation in response to the amended
challenge, but it was pointed out that
the deed of gift by which Americas
cup was placed in custody of the club
in 1887, apparently makes it obligatory
upon the club to accept the challenge
provided certain conditions are COM
piled with.

mission, appointed by the association

failed. The commissions idea was to
obtain more privileges in the issu-
ance of circulating notes and thus
relieve the frequent condition of strin-

Taking a Flyer.

The secretary of an eastern company
that some time ago was anxious to
purchase a silver lead mine in the
northwest tells of an amusing incident
in the negotiations for it's purchase.
AS the ore assayed we'll and every
thing looked propitious, mining ex-
pert was sent to examine the mine. His
report was favorable, too favorable, in
fact, and aroused the suspicious of the
would be purchasers; SO it was deter
mined to investigate more closely.
At this point well known mining
man of Butte recommended that a GER
tain rough and ready genius should be
sent to look at the mine. you can
depend upon his judgment" the min
ing man said. You can trust to his
report, which. in all probability, will be
brief and very much to the point
The advice was followed. AS pre-
dicted. the report was short and pithy.
1t read substantially as follows:
Gents: I have made an examina-
ton Of the X mine, and report that
the ore is there as represented; that it
assays high; that it is there in plenty;
but to get your supplies in and your
ore out you will need pack train Of

THE BoRAH TRIAL.
State Paves Way for Witnesses Who
Will Confess Frauds.


Boise, Idaho, Sept. 26.-Having ac-
complished much tedious work of iden-
tifying and placing on record the pa
pers in about half hundred alleged
fraudulent claims filed on timber lands
in the interest of the Barber Lum-
ber Company, the government attor-
neys in charge of the prosecution
Of Senator Borah, who acted as attor-
ney for the company, began today to
unfold in narrative form the details of
the alleged conspiracy. Witnesses who
are willing to confess to alleged wrong
doing and to making false affidavits
when they swore they were taking out
timber claims in their own interest and
without agreement to transfer the
claim to other persons will have large
ly to do with the presentation of the
governments case.
In his opening statement to the Jury
former Judge Burch of Detroit, spe-
cial assistant to the attorney general,
announced that the government would
offer as one of the principal witnesses
George S. Long, who it is alleged acted
as a dummy trustee to receive the
title to claims from dummy" entry
men and transferred the property later
to the Barber Lumber Company This
Wisconsin corporation came into being.
the government asserts, after the al
legged frauds were well under way and
was organized to hold and make use
of the lands secured thru the so-caNed
conspiracy. Long will tell you, dS-
clared Burch, that he morally loaned
his name els dummy.
