THE BEGINNING OF THE RUSH

The rush Rawhde ddn' begin until in December;
then the flow began increase until now every train
loaded and every road full of burro trains,
teams of every from the single burro cart to
the covered priare schooner, the
desert freight train of three four wagons They
all going in direction-headed for the gold
camp. One rarely meets one coming back from
Rawhide-at least loaded teams. The freighters go
back empty as ye there is little going to mill
or smelter Its a good thing the roads good and
there plenty of level desert It's not much like the
roads in the rush days of Cripple Creek going over
from Divide on the shoulder of Pixies Peak where a
broken down wagon, stuck in the mud, would delay
whole caravan for hours.
Going in from Nina, reaches Rawhide about
three miles before he gets there. That is, he

find the camp Of Rawhide Now, everybody knows
where it is and how to get THERE and nearly everybody
seemingly, is has way. The rush from the North
goes by the way Of Schurz the little town in the
Indian Reservation the Southern Pacific It Is about
% miles from Schurz the Ell Dorado The road is first
class and there plenty Of automobiles and several
stages The autos have track of their own, which
built by enterprising company when there was
the first promise of rush. The ride is made in about
hour and half, when all is favorable. Most of the
travel goes in by Schurz.
Considerable of the Southern travel goes in by Nina
and there travel that way the route becomes
better known The distance from Nina to Rawhde is
about so miles, but the road is superb, and the grade
good, except stiff HILL and coming up from the
South, leaves the train at Nina about two and
half hours before it reaches Schurz Consequently
auto from Nina gets into Rawhide before the Schurz
machine and you have saved little time and about

The auto is a wonderful Transformation in Nevada,
and it is nowhere marked than in and about Raw

HAPPY FRAME
Rock Island County Contingent
toDemocratic Conven-
ton Succeeds.
GONkLL That IT WANTED
Secures Ben T. Cable for Delegate
r. j. MedilI on Resoll-
tfons Committee.

The Rock Island county delegates
and other democrats who went to
Springfield to attend the democratic
state CONVENTION, returned home this
morning, jubilant, not only over the
general outcome of the convention,
but in the accomplishment of the two
things that the Rock Island county
delegation worked for first, last and
all the time One of these was the
selection Of Hon. Ben T. Cable of this
city as national delegate from the
Fourteenth congressional district, and
the other recognition in the district
caucus To the extent of having the
member bf 'thc committee ON resolu-
tions. For the fulfillment of these
two objects the delegation was will
ing TO pass up everything else. feel
ing that Mr.. Cable, having consented
to stand for delegate, was entitled to
the -Entirpg support of his own coun-
ty. in his behalf, and that Rock Island
county having adopted as strong Bry-
an resolutions as any county in the
state, goicing in so doing the honest
sentiment of the party III the county,
was entitled TO have the spirit of
those resolutions represented on the
committee to draft the convention
platform. For the attainment of these
two ends every member of the Rock
Island county delegation, together
with, every one in the party from Rock
Island, worked increasingly from the
time they stepped foot in the capital
city.
a Preliminary Lineup.
1t was found at the outset prelim
mary combinations had been made as
early as last Sunday i'll which Han.
cock, McDonough and Warren coun
ties were involved, but which did not
take Rock Island county into consid
Grafton in any particular. While the
spokesman for the Hancock county
delegation did not disclose this fact
and led the Rock Island county men
10 believe that a combination might
be made with this county, it was soon
learned that no deal with Hancock
would be possible that would get Rock
Island anything for what support il
might give. 1t was also discovered in
cidentaily the. two counties Hancock

iicted, left Rock Island county beau
tifully out in the cold. The vote in
the second caucus was cast by delesa-
lions, including the solid vote of both
McDonough and Warren, delegates
from both of which counties had left
the room with the adjournment of the
regular caucus, to say nothing of the
two absentees. A count of noses in
the caucus developed but IS legal del
agates present.
The proceedings of the rump caucus
were not heard from again, the pro
gram of the regular caucus being rec
ognized by the convention without OPP
position.
Later in the day Rock Island county
delegates had the satisfaction of hay
ing delegates who were allied with the
plan to send Rock Island home with

Came Home With the PIums.
So Rock Island came home with
what it went after, and all it went
after-a delegate to the national con.
vention and member of the commit,
tee on resolutions of the convention

that the district caucus had to bestow

was counting on to put it's slate
through were not solid for the propo-
sition, that in both the Warren and
McDonough county delegations, Mr..
Cable, although not ON the ground in
person, had friends whose answering
loyalty to him was good to look upon.
At the same time Mercer and Hender-
son were ready and eager to receive
Rock Island with open arms, and al
though the latter had candidate for
district delegate, the claim was ready
to be waived Internationally at any
interest. In the same spirit the mem
bership of the resolutions committee
was also conceded. Hancock being,
as was Rock Island county itself, un-
der the unit rule, and there being no
upon the other counties
to vote their delegations solidly, it
was up to Rock Island county to look
for votes in either the Warren and
McDonough county delegations to COM
plete its combination. Warren county
having two candidates for delegate,
and the supporters of Mr.. Turnbull
being for Mr.. Cable at any sacrifice,
that faction on the Warren delegation
was soon hitched on to the Rock Is
land county band wagon. Inroads
were likewise made into the Melon
way it was ascertained that while
Hancock county was counting on the
solid support of both Warren and Nc
Donough counties, it was not familiar
with the premises, and the only way
that Hancock could expect to win fol
