deficit Of $l00,000.GO0 unless the esti-
mates for the next fiscal year we're cut
down materially.
Discussion of tariff revision was in
jected into the proceedings in which

the face Of the estimates submitted to
Congress for the next fiscal year the

deficit of s100,000,o00. These estimates
therefore would have to be materially
revised and the figures reduced.

NEVADA TO THE o

The rush to Nevada continues. The old state that has been o much
IdM idd, after all holds out more hope to the earnest seeker after an in
dependence than any other. Two wonderfully rich new fields are draw
ing the crowd Just now, but some of the old districts are taking oil new
leases of life. 1t is said that on the 2200foot level of the old Ophir, on
the Comstock, a great new deposit of ore has been discovered and ex.
|plored. On Tuesday last, Mr.. Eewhouse went to look at and possibly
to purchase the mine which adons the Pittsburg Silver Peak. Now,
Silver Peak was worked forty years ago. At that time it was 500 miles
away from civilization, in the midst of a desert profound; there was no
water near, the ore was low-grade gold ore, but there was no cyanide
process then for handling gold ores that were at all rebelious, and
work was finally suspended. But Professor Clayton, who had charge Of the
work, bore testimony to the magnitude and wealth of the district. Now
/ railroad takes the prospector there, water has been brought in. one great
1o0-stamp mill has been erected, likewise a smaller one. and still the
automobile took away the terror, and all the rest has followed naturally
Just now Rawhlde seems to have the call, but Seven Troughs claims to
have more than Rawhide to show, and Gold Circle threatens to be about
the noisest district in the state before the summer comes, 1t has one
great advantage over the southern districts; it has green grass and cool
water and the surrounding farms make many needed supplies cheap. A
new great strike is reported in Fairview, and every report from the state
generally is favorable. 1t is certainly a great old state, a state where
the romance of mining has oftener proven a great truth than in any
other-Salt Lake Telegram.
