Scme s. rk PeiLg J.ne by l.sasers

Interest in Boyd Basin has been
gradually growing keener until now
small sized boom to northern Hum
boldt county is On. Numerous experts
have examined property in the dis
trict, and have given out favorable
reports of the country. This, coupled
with the whispered reports of big
deal has put the mining fraternity on
the qui vive, as to just what will hap
pen there. Another party of experts
consisting of M. H. Gillian, j. J. Riley
and Fred Oliver, and one Of the big
owners of the Basin, G.. A. Lane re-
turned yesterday These men exam
ined the formation, lodges and ex-

TROUBLE BREWS in
DEMOCRATIC
RANKS.
RING THE BELL FOR THE
'DIMMYCRATS' ARE DIVIDED
Deep Rooter Factional Strife Again
Flares UP Over Mention Of
Bryan's Chances.

Things may be pretty lively in the
democratic ranks of Nevada according
to the present outlook annd the various
clouds on the political horizon Not
only the fact that difference in re
gard to presidential candidates, but
also strained relation between the
powers -that-be causes the cloudy APP
pearance. OF course all the difference
are charged up to the presidential cleo
tion; that sounds better and has bet
ter effect.
But the troble is deeper than a mere
presidential matter 1t is struggle
for supremacy in state affairs among
the old guard and the younger and
militant democracy which has been
fighting Tor absolute control for several
years The old crown will not down.
Senator Newlands has been flirting
with the younger element, but some
one has whispered in his ear that his
head will be the next to fall beneath
the axe of the party when the younger
wing gets control and it is said that
the Senator is undergoing a change of
heart OF course. his changes of heart
are mild affairs and few are wiser un-
til after it is over.
I. A factor to be reckoned with, Gov
ernor Sparks, is eliminated owing to
illness, but his friends are mighty busy
and they are not forgetting some of
the things which have transpired dur
ing the past year. They are not over
looking the vicious assaults which have
been made upon the chief executive of
the state by some of the leaders of the
younger wing and few double actions
are being kept ready for them. As
one of the old guard remarked, We
may lose out in the convention, but
mind you, my boy there is still ano'
ther way to settle these fellows. They
may plead with us to stand by the
party nominees, but did they stand by
the party officersf' Carson News.

"WINNEMUCCA IS A
GOOD TOWN."
STATE IMPRESSED WITH
BUSINESS STABILITY HERE
Says Mark w. Musgrove, Conservative
Booster. and Now Publisher of
the Gold Circle Miner.

Winnemueca is a good town. is
what Mark W. Musgrove, editor of the
Gold Circle Miner says, but not only
does Mr.. Musgrove say it, but he says
that hundreds of others, in all portions
of the state, east, west, north and
south, in the big camps and little ones
and the cities and towns are saying
the same thing In fact, the truth
OF the assertion is common knowledge
in Nevada, which accounts for the fire.
quency with which it passes men 8 lips.
Winnemucca is surrounded with
varied industries, which accounts for
the stability of it's business condi-
tions, continued Mr.. Musgrove.
There is stock raising, agriculture and
mining. Each is an important factor
in the life of community. A com
bination of two is better than any
one, and where the three 60 together,
there is bound to be a general condi--
tion of prosperity. A stranger com
ing into this town is impressed with
its possibilities, a. l, comparative
stranger, have been impressed with
them, and he sees thing which a per-
son who lives here all the time passes
by as commonplace. As l passed up
by the depot this morning l noticed
there several large freight teams, equip
ped with the large wagons loaded with
freight preparatory to leaving for dis
tant points. That was positive proof
to me that Winnemucca was a distrib-
uting point, and as its tributory ter
ritory develops, this business center
will develop.
"Outside of it's general air of bust
ness prosperity and the healthy condi-
tion of the business houses of Winnie
mucca, this is fine town to live in.
Here are all of the modenrn convenien-
ces and as residence place alone it
has many advantages. -
Up at Gold Circle Mr.. Musgrove is
rushing things along in remarkable
manner and glimpse of his excellent
paper, the Miner, tells what he is do
ing and what is going on there.

Eczema and all diseases of the skin
must be treated locally, according to
the views now held by the foremost
skin specialists and physicians: that is
you must doctor the itch where the
itch is. It Is useless TO attempt 70
cure skin disease by taking drugs and
medicines into the stomach. The dis
ease Is not in the blood. 1t Is in the
skin and only skin deep. You must
get at the seat of the disease and kin
the germ by making direct applica-
tons to the skin.
