JARB|DGE DISTRICT
IS MAKING GOOD

Spectacular in the extreme is
the action of claim owners in the
Crater section of the JarbriGpe
district of Nevada. if rumor is to
be credited, in keeping all persons
from within seeing distance of
what is going on. Some remarkable
gold values are reported to be
found at Crater, but armed guards
patrol the section to prevent tres
passing, so nothing definite is
known even at Jarbridge of what
is being found and done. In the
Jarbidge section itself is plenty of
activity and disposition of operators
to talk of their successes. Arrivals
from the camp report very higlh
values, while there are numerous
spots where res ults of Importance
are being gained. 1t is said that
many good deals are in progress.
Representative of capital are thick
in the district, going over anything
and everything that looks good and
might be for sale. Several COM
panies are reported to be securing
some good mining equipment, so
it looks as if Jarbidge will make a
strong endeavor to disclose its
merits before the year Closes

tackled-not without fear-un-

cooked in sugar, fresh shrimps,
mushrooms from Mongolia, young
bamboo sprouts, pigeons eggs and
u hundred different foreign tasting
messes. Then clean plates were
given to us, and bowls of sickIy
pink sirup, sweet potato and Indian
corn cakes of dusky hue were set
before each one. These were only
crevice filers and concluded the
first and lighter portion of the
repast. Nowcame the real sub
stantial meal. wherein every dish
had an accompaniment of smaller
ones, containing gravies, ETC., in
which to dip the mcrsel taken from

There was stewed duck cooked
without salt, roast sucking pig,
forcemeat balls and chicken, there
were soups of birds nest, of mush-
room, of vegetables and of sea
slugs. There was grilled fresh
water fish, which, according to
custom was helped from the top

A REPUBLICAN OPINION

The Hastings (Neb.) Republi-
can, seems to be edited by a man
who thinks for himself and is not
afraid to speak the truth. Listen
at him: 1.-THE Republican majority
in the senate which has been
investigating the tariff and the
cost of living has its report all
ready to submit to the people and
in substance it is that the high
prices are not due to the tariff at
all but quite to the contrary, If
we are to believe these wise men
the tariff is the greatest economic
blessing on earth and the wages
have increased faster than food.
In other words these fellows have
covered the tariff with q coat of
whitewash so thick that it would
be hard to jar it loose with blast
of dyn amite, The trouble with
these senator's is they are still
practicing their old habits of try
ing to fool the people they still
think, like p T. Barnum of old,
the people like to be humbugged.

HIGH COST OF
LIVING and POLITICS

Republican managers realize that
the great menace to the success of
their party this fall is in the in
crea: ed cost of living, which cannot
be explained by the theory of a
general advance along the line and
in every part of the world. They
know that general advance cannot
explain hogs at 9 cents a pound
when bacon costs 35 cents, ham 80
cents and lard 20 cents. Nor does
general advance all over the
world tell why coffee costing 10
cents and II cents laid down on
the decks at New York costs the
consumer 25 to so cents. Other
articles might be enumerated, ex-
tending the list to nearly every
necessity of life. Every woman in
the land is complaining and it
means dissatisfied husband who is
quite likely to express his dissatis-
faction at the polls.
The people want more; they
want action which will mean relief
from what they feel is outrageous
oppression.-St. Louis Star.

REGENT FRANK WILLIAMS

Regent Frank Williams arrived
in Carson City last evning. He
leaves for Reno tomorrow morning,
to attend meeting of the Board
of Regents of the State University.
Mr.. Williams, who is a candidate
for the democratic nomination for
Acknowledgements of Nevada,
was the subject of an article in the
last issue of the Reno Reve.lle
which stated that the crmpaign
expenses of Mr.. Williams were
being paid by the Southern Pacific

THE. WESTERN PACIFIC

We suspect that the majority Of
the people of Salt Lake and Utah
will never half appreciate how
tremendous a work the building
OF, the Western Pacific railroad wa.
until they go over the route. The
work was very heavy in many
places through Ne, ada, for the
instructions from the first were,
Just so far as possible to eliminate
curves and grades. This made
exceedingly heavy work at a
hundred points in western Utah
and all through Nevada. Beck
worth's pass was overcome by a
short tunnel; then for little more
than twenty miles through Sierra
valley there were no difficulties;
then came the Mohawk valley and
between that and American valley
there were alternate cuts and fills
and short tunnels.
Reaching American valley the
raod enters the canyon of the north
fork of the Feather river. Then
1t was fight mighty obstacles to
build the road, for sixty--five niles
until the canyon opens into the
Sacramento valley. For miles and
miles the banks of the river are
but solid, almost perpendicular
walls of rocks, often hundreds of
feet in height. We have never
seem any statement of the work,
but we know something of the
route, and it must have been solid
blasting in the mountain side, or
tunnelling for quite forty miles.
and in that distance there must be
from ten to twenty bridges over
the river. 1t is the route over
which Judah wanted the old
Central Pacific to come, for it
eliminates 1850 feet in ascending
from the valley to the summit:
1850 feet saved over other routes
that can be found across the Sierra.
Another great work was making a
road through the coast range
mountains, to get from the San
Joaquin valley to the shore of San
francisco bay. But it was done.
and now there is new trans
continental road and it passes
directly through Salt Lake City
what 1T is to he to this region can
not yet be comprehended. But it
gives Utah another smooth path to
the Pacific and passes through some
hundreds of miles of country that
has not yet been much explored.
If next sur2mcr any people desire
to pass the hot months in q cool
valley. valley more beautiful than
they ever saw, let them go to
Quincy in American valley.
Switzerland has nothing like it.
But the road means that another
river of steel has been made to the
sea shore; river over which the
argosies Of commerce are to float
forever, and it is work so superb
and gigantic that the first incoming
passenger train ought to be cele..
brated with music and Teasing
and flags and all halls by our
people.-Goodwin's Weekly.
