NEW STRIKE
IN RAMSEY

Captain A. II. Mayne, of Ramsey
and Goldfield, arrived last night from
the latter city and will remain here
for several days on business.
Charles Clark came in this morn
ing from Ramsey with the news of
a good strike of ore on the San Jaun
claim. near the Walkover.
The San Jaun Is on the big trend
from the Ramsey Comstock about
mile southwest of that mine and sam
pies exhibited by Clark carry gold
in abundance.
Olapk has been working on the
San .Ioun for a long time on theory
that the junction of the big dixie
trend and the side of Red Mountain
veins meet in the San Jaun ground
and that this junction VIII produce
a lot of good ore.
The prediction has been justified
so far as finding the ore is concern
ed though it will take a lot of de-
velOpment work to ascertain the eX-
tent of the find. The ore samples
all the way from a few dollars in
gold to several hundred in gold and

recover the loss. If that is done
the purchasers of the fictitious stock
will lose nothing. The company

HOUSE IN DEADLOCK
OVER SALARY BILL
USING THEIR HAM MERS

\ report is being circulated in this
city that Ormsby County will soon
be on scrip basis. in fact the asser-
tion is made that such is the present
state of affairs. This claim is made
by parties who are opposed to tle
proposed bond issue. a bill for which
has been introduced in the lower
house. There is absolutely no truth
in the assertion and is merely done
to injure the passage of the bill and
incidentally do little knocking"
AS stated before in this paper the
bond issue is maily for the purpose of
paving off the Agricultural bonds. re-
pairing the highways that have been
damaged by the storms of last month
and by so doing reduce the tax levy
in Ormsby County.
1t is the same old story. The min
ute an cndeavOr is made to do any
thing for the Improvement or ad-
vancrment of this community-some-
thing needed and which will be a
benefit to every one in the county
there are a certain number of moss
backs who sit back and rid their
systems of a lot of predictions and
kicks that have been stored up for
the occasion since their last oppOr-
tunity of like nature.
The heaviest taXDaVprS in the
county, in fact nearly all the taXpay-
crs who amount to anything. have
approved of the bond issue and the
Improvement Club was asked to back
up the proposition, which it has done.
The Ormsby County delegation in
both Houses of the Legislature will
endorse the bill for the bond issue
and it will pass both Houses and re-
ccivc the signature of the Governor
regardless of few calamlFy howlers.

TO BUILD MORE
HOMES HERE

We are informed that number of
local capitalists have secured several
lots in this city on which modern cot
tages will be erected this summer
and the same will be rented. This
is one Of the best money making
schemes that could be started for if
there is a city on earth needed mod
ern cottages for rent service this is
the place. At the present time
there is not a vacant house, furnish
ed or unfurnished, in the city and the
demand for them is as great as ever.
1t is safe to say at the present
time twenty houses could be rented
if they were here for the purpose.
This demand has been noticeable for
the past couple of years but of late
it is becoming greater. More child
rem from outside places would be at
tending the public schools in this
city if their parents could secure
suitable accommodations in the line
Of rented houses, but as the latter
are not to be had the children are
taken elsewhere. 1t is to be hoped
that We are rightly informed and that
a number of cottages are to be erect
ed for this purpose during the COM
ing season. 1t is not only a good
thing for the investors but will bring
many more residents to Carson City.
