BACK FROM PROSPECTING TRIP
Speak Highly Of Gold Showinss in North

Speak Highly Of Gold Showinss in North
ern Eureka and Elko Counties
Martin Mahoney and A. P. Tenvoord,
who have been absent for over a month
on q prospecting trip in the northern
part Of Eureka and Elko Counties, re-
turned here Friday afternoon. While
they speak in glowing terms Of the
mineral showing in the sections they
visited. they saw nothing that would
justify them in remaining there or
making locations.
They say it is very difficult at present
to prospect in northern Elko County,
for the reason that water is not only
scarce but the feed in that locality has
been eaten clean by the large bands Of
sheep that range there. This is espec.
tally true of n section there that
presented most favorable indications Of
finding paying placer ground IS well
as rich gold rock. But there is no feed
there for prospectors' animals, and as .
consequence. in order to do extensive
prospecting or development work. hay.
grain and water would have to be hauled
in, which the average prospector will
not do until he is sure he has discovered
something that will justify.
While the whole country there is
mineralized and gold colors found
almost every where by banning. still for
the reasons stated above the develop.
ment Of the district is retarded.

The final account being in all respect.
true aud correct. it was approved by the
Court. As letters were granted to the
administrator on April 4 last, 1t took just
three months and 20 days to wind MP
and distribute the entire estate, which
is in sharp contrast to the time consumed
in the settlement Of most estates.
In the matter of the estate of J. l.
Thompson. deceased, upon a showing
made that it was necessary to sell all oil
the estate. consisting mostly of mining
property situate in Spring Valley. al
order was made authorizing the sale OF
the same at public or private sale, AZ

train to obtain from the Court a tenn.
porary restraining order, but found
George Watt and Chas. A. Cantwell,
counsel for defendants on hand prepared
to resist the granting Of the order.
Judge Breen set the hearing for 7:3o
p. m, at which hour the attorneys ap-
peared and threshed out their respective
contentious. The Court denied the
motion for a restraining order on several
grounds, but chiefly for the reason that
the complaint was fatally defective and
did not state facts sufficient to constitute
a ground for i~njunctive relief. The
plaintiffs will amend their complaint
and the case will doubtless be fought
out in the cour at Austin.
George Watt. a few day ago, had the
plaintiffs arrested for taking a half.
dozen shots at him at Bald Mountain.

The politicians are making a mistake
In forcing the opening Of the campaign
at this time OF the year. The people
are not ready for activity In politics.
The general public Is just now engag.
ed In the tedious task Of gathering up
the raveled ends OF business and do
not want attention taken from the
work 10 hand. The farmers are too
busy with crop cultivation and garner
ing TO stop to discuss politics. In fact
no one is ready for the campaign save
the politicians. And unless all signs
are at fault this class will have really
less TO do this year than ever before
In the history OF the country. Fore.
ing an active campaign on the public
may result In disaster to the party
that forces the issues. Two months
would be ample time for all the poll
tics the country can stand. Con.
sequently September would be plenty
early enough to open the political
batteries, the people will be more o,
less independent this year anyway and
will do very much as they please regard
less Of the rantings at the husklngs.

II such law should be placed on the
