Appraisers Appointed

In the matter of the request of the
county commissioners that appraisers
he appointed to appraise Fuller's corner,
block 30 and Mrs. Sproules and Mrs.
AndersOn's lots as sites for the new
courthouse. Judge Brown this morning
appointed A. w. Hesson, J. J Hylton
and G. F. Hickey as appraisers.
The appraisers will doubtless report
before the next meeting of the board
of commissioners and it will then be up
to those gentlemen to select the site for
Elko county's new courthouse.
After the commissioners select the
site, it will be in order for everyone who
is disappointed by the selection to
register H. big, kick. It. is one of :, the
great privileges of an American citizen
to criticise the official acts of their
servants and we predict that the COM
missioners will get a-plenty wherever
they put the courthouse. -

notsuit you. You won't gain anything
by it, but you will feel better. y
