pied by Lander County Sheepmen
Austin. Nevada. July 24.-For some
time past trouble has been brewing
between the cattle and sheep men Of
this portion of the State and now the

men were driven from the disputed
range by other sheep herders.
Watt had driven on to the disputed
range and had ordered a herder work
ing for Espile brothers. wealthy sheep
owners. to drive his flocks off Of the
range. The herder refused to obey the
order and took a shot at Watt. The
latter then grabbed the gun and drove
the herdsr from the range. Two other
sheep herders rushed to the scene and
opened fire on Watt and "Bill y
Echievere, who lost no time in riding
away from the place.
The disputed ground hes on what is
known as Bald Mountain in the Grass
Valley section of Lander County. 1t il
public domain and both the sheep and
cattle men claim it, as it is not included
in the forest reserve.

Better Prices Predicted For White Metal

The Boston News Bureau says that the outlook for silver is
better than for some time past, although neither the United States
nor Mexico is counted on for heavy purchases this year. The paper
quotes the bullion manager OF one of the big concerns as follows:
"Silver is to-day selling at SO IA cents al ounce, comparing
with the recent low point of so cents. There is an all-round i'm
provement, in both price and demand, and tho future seems bright
AT the time Of the Indian crisis some weeks ago, which
caused a slump in the silver market, and which was aided in making
low prices by heavy offerings from China, there was quite a
accumulation of the metal, but this has since been practically wiped
out of existence, chiefly through the recent shipment Of approx
mately 10000 900 ounces from London to India.
"The best customers of the silver sellers are India and China
and the demand from both these sources continues to improve. The
French mint is also a buyer at times, the supply being obtained in
the worlds largest and most important market-London-whil
England also uses some quantities at times. Mexico will be no
factor in silver this year so far a S purchases re concerned, and it IS
doubtful if the United States Government purchases for coinage
during the remainder of the current year will amount to much. In
fact, the domestic demand for silver is quite fiat"

A recent Carson City, Nevada, dispatch says -Charman Bar
tine. of the Nevada Railroad Commission, has started work on a
netit;on To be presented to the Interstate Commerce Commission
asking that the latter body force the Southern Pacific Company to
grant Nevada m intermediate terminal rate for freight from the
East The Commission petitioned the Southern Pacific Company
to grant this, but the company refused. Now the Commission
hopes to force the Southern Pacific to do away with the back haul
on all freight consigned from Eastern points to points in Nevada
At the present time the persons receiving the freight are forced
to pay freight from the point on the line of the Southern Paclhc to
which the freight is consigned to San Francisco and back, even
though the freight does not travel that distance.

To make the above statement palmer to the general reader, and
10 show the heavy handicap the people in this part of Nevada have
been carrying for years, it may be stated that the freight charge on
a carload of merchandise from the East delivered at Palisade, a
station on the Southern Pacific, costs about $500, while a like car
load of freight is hauled by the same company over 5OO miles
farther, across the Sierra Nevada mountains, and delivered at Sac
ramento or San Francisco for about $275. All freight from the
East for Nevada now pays the through rate to Sacramento, California,
and then pays the local freight rate back to its point of destination
in Nevada.
