Good Roads

The third and last topic which Gov
ernor Gilchrist discussed with the as
sembled Florida editors was that of
good roads. The Governor had re-
ceived from the clerks of the Circuit
Courts of almost all of the counties
in Florida. a statement showing the
number of miles of hard roads, graded
roads clay roads and shelled roads in
his county. This tabulated data show
ing that some counties had built sew
eral hundreds of miles of good roads
while others had done practically
nothing on this line was submitted.
From such reports it appears that
there are 2.120 miles of hard, ga miles
of graded and 500 miles of strawed
roads in Florida, and that an aggre-
gate of 81 100000 have been voted by
four counties to be expended on hard
roads in the immediate future. This
work has been accomplished through
the efforts of individual counties.
Several of the enterprising men,
bers of the press of this state have
advocated state roads, extending
throughout one portion Of the state to
the other. From the foregoing it
would appear that about the only fair
way in which such thoroughfares
could be built would be by the coun-
ties prolonging their county roads.
The Boards of County Commissioners
of the various counties could mutually
agree to extend certain routes through
their counties. 1t would be manifeStly
unfair for some of these counties that
have done SO much road building, to
be assessed a state tax in order that
a road might be built hundreds OF
miles from them I am trying to put
some of you gentlemen of the press
on practical, soft road to secure hard
roads throughout the state. Orange
county has set fine example in using
her county convicts on her roads. The
counties receive all the money from
the lease of state convicts, why not
have some of this money spent on the
roads," The Governor suggested the
advisa bility of advocating q law &c
forbid the leasing of county convictS
requiring their employment on county
roads and stated that the appropria-
tion of $4,000 by the last Legislature
for the establishment of a state prison
farm was an entering wedge towards
the abolishment of the leasing oi
state prisoners.

NEVADA -ROCKLAND
PUTS MEN To WORK

R. w Landrum, mining engineer
of Los Angeles, Calf, passed through
Yerington early this week on his way to
Rockland, where he goes to look after
assessment work on the Nevada Rock
land mine.
He took up load of supplies and a
force of eight men and hopes to COM
plete the work in little over a month.
The mine was opened up under his
management, and he is thoroughly con-
versant with all the underground devel-
opment, hence will have little trouble in
getting his bearings and moving the
work along.
There is something over 5000 feet of
underground work, and much good ore
is thereby exposed. The mine is said to
be under bond and may again start up
soon i'll real earnest.

THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES
HAD A BIG RALLY AT OWL HALL

| Senator Nixon took up the Payne.
Aldrich tariff bill and stated that it was
impossible to frame any tariff bill that
everybody would be satisfied with One
section wanted one thing protected and
another something else The repr esent-
atives of the former would vote to pro-
tect the product of the other only on
condition that they would be in turn
supported.
| The Senator spoke of the sugar fac
tory now being built at Fallon and
brought out the material prosperity
such enterprises bring to community
He then asked his audience if he should
have voted to put sugar on the free list.
He also spoke OF the magnitude of the
sheep-raising business in Nevada and
said that to get wool protected it was
necessary to vote for other things which
this state does not produce.
In regard to borax. Senator Nixon
pointed out that the Tonopah and Tide
water railroad had been built princi-
pally TO accommodate that enterprise
and that putting it on the free list would
put that road ont of business.
Nixon then touched upon the charge
that lie was a railroad man. He said
that when he came to the state years ago
he went to work for the railroad at SIS
month, and that then he was as proud
of being station agent as he was six
years ago when he was sworn in as
United States Senator.
Toward the close of his speech, Sena-
tor Nixon spoke of the panic of three
years ago, when banks all over the
State went under. He said Il at his five
banks then had $40, 600, 900 on deposit
and that he personally sacrificed g, 600
600 to protect the depositors and TO pre-
vent running his friends by calling in
loans. He asked his hearers if they
thought man who would do that could
be bought by ''the interests" in Wash
ington or elsewhere.
When Senator Nixon had finished the
other candidates were introduced, but
owing to the lateness of the hour and
the fact that they had come to the hall
without dinner, they spoke briefly.
After the rally. the candidates circu-
lated around the town and eventually
brought up at the dance in Rink hall.

CONSTANTINE LEASE AT MASON
PASS NOW ON LIST OF SHIPPERS

A carload of ore from the lease of
Constantine Brothers and Matt at Mason
Pass went out this week to the mill at
Silver City 1t was a number of weeks
ago that the ore was struck on this
property, but owing to numerous handi-
caps production has been slow Owing
to the fact that careful sanpling has not
been done, the value of this shipment is
not known, and the value is variously
estimated at amounts ranging from $50
to 500 per ton.
1t is thought, however, that the ore
now being produced and sacked will
run much better than that, as the grade
of the ore has materially improved of
late.
This higher grade of ore is coming

ing was pleasantly spent in chatting,

ing's enter tainment with songs and
music.
Late in the evening the hostess Mrs.

Last Saturday evening Owl hall was
we'll filled by crowd which gathered to
hear the issues of the campaign dis
cussed by Senator Nixon. f.. +. Roberts,
candidate for Congressman, and most of
the candidates on the Republican state
ticket
The party came from Rawhide in two
autos, the first containing Senator
Nixon and Messrs. Roberts, Easton and
Ahern, arriving i'll time for dinner; the
second auto, containing Messrs. McMil-
Ian. Booth and Douglas, broke down
about rs miles out and didn't arrive un-
til late in the evening, when the meet
ing was we'll under way.
Senator Barney Reymers presided in
his usual inimitable manner and intro
duced the different candidates. Mr.
Roberts spoke first, receiving the close
attention of the audience. He said that
as the Republican platform had not
been framed or adopted his remarks
were of more or less rambling nature.
lie called special attention to the fact
that the Republican candidates had been
charged by their opponents with being
subservient to the railroad interests-a
charge that he Indignantly denied.
Mr.. Roberts devoted considerable of
his speech to an eulogy of Senator Nixon
and refuted many OF the charges that
had been made and would be made,
against the latter
VIM. Easton, of Austin, candidate for
Lieutenant governor, was next intro
duced. Mr.. Easton makes no pretense
of being public speaker and spoke
briefly of his candidacy.
Senator Nixon was next called for and
made the longest speech OF the evening,
holding his audience to the close. He
brought out the fact that when lie was
candidate six years ago, with the late
Governor Sparks for an opponent, the
campaign was conducted without any
mud singing. and when it was over,
there was no ill-feelins between him and
Sparks. After the latters death, Sena-
tor Nixon had been asked by Mrs.
Sparks to act as one of the appraisers of
the estate-this being done at the re-
quest of the late Governor--a circum-
stances that indicated Sparks confidence

WARMING TO MINING MEN.
Bad Air in Winze Of Mountain View
Close to Tunnel Level.

:. b. Elbert, engineer for the Nevada
Douglas, is putting in spare time in
looking over various properties in this
vicinity. On Tuesday he accompanied
y. w. Willis to the Mountain View
mine, ten miles east of Yerington. On
this property there is a Wine sunk
straight from the tunnel level To
depth of 100 feet.
As Mr.. Willis started to lead the way
down the ladder to explore this Wine,
Mr.. Elbert asked How about bad air2"
The former was sure the air was all right,
but it was decided to make test before
venturing. This was very fortunate, as
the test proved that the Wine was practi-
cally full OF bad air, coming to within
few inches of the tunnel level.
As the gentlemen had no pencil or
paper with them, it was impossible to
post a warning as they wished to do,
and we wish to give the facts full pub
licity. Miners frequently go into differ
ent properties in looking over a mining
