Old Aurora.
From the Carson News.

In the last issue of the Saturday
Evening Post, Charles E Van Loan
published another of his series OF
Ghost Cities of the West and tells
OF old Aurora-the town which came
back. Van Loan tells of the town OF
Aurora as he has CLEANED from his
tory of the days of Mark Twain in
that little mining town and creates a
miner who speaks of the pioneer days
IN anything but truthful tale.
There was a time when Aurora
was the greatest city of all the south
ern section, and Esmerada. Mineral,
part OF Lyon, and all of Mono county
knew Aurora as their great city and
it was the county seat of all that
great domain. While Aurora never
reached the vast Empire of Virginia
City yet it was the desert port where
gathered tht big men and the little
men, the honest men and the rogues,
the wives and mothers and the girls
who lived the best they could.
To US. born and reared in the west
and lovers thereof, the tales of Van
Loan do not bring the joy and nap
piness which they could by made to
bring and we harbor little resent.
ment that the history is overlooked
and covered with fairy tales which
had but little to bring them into ex-
isiance.
When you swing around the turn
from Delmonte and land in Aurora,
you are brought face to face with the
wreckage of what was once u big
brick hotel-the landmark of Aurora
the old Cobb Hotel. Flames swept
through the building nearly thirty
years ago but still, for years. the
gaunt old skeleton stood us mon
ument to the builders. of the pioneer
days. Across the old stone threshold
stepped the greatest men of the day
and though their names perhaps
have been forgotten, still in their
day they welded the sceptre of an
inland empire whose fame reached
unto many lands. Could one have
stood within the ruins and conjured
back the scenes, the faces, the voices
of the men of the early sixties of
Aurora, no tale told could be more
eagerly listened to or could have
caused more feverish pulsing of the
blood
Up the street at the extreme end
OF the Main street, where the street
forked and branched to the right and
to the left, was the fatiron building
of the camp. Twas stately man
sion in its day, buided of the lumber
sawed at the pioneer mills in Lundy
canyon and hauled across the almost
untracked waste of thirty odd miles
by the slow-moving but ever faithful
OK teams. This was known as the
superintendent House and we
remember well when Ex-Governor
Colcord called it his home and drove
his old grey team from the barn in
the rear along the highways to the
mines.
There still stands the ola court
house, two story, square building
of brick, whose very walls are
chinked with history. Look at the
stain upon the lower wall in the Jail
section where twenty five years and
more ago, the masons placed in new
brick to fill the hole where Sharp the

An Address to Nevada reopI'

ED. BULLETIN: If you can find
space for our address to the people
on Indian affairs it will be highly
appreciated Sincerely yours
II LEN FULTON, Secretary.
mo question is more important to
the citizens of Nevada today than
that presented by the Indian popua
ton. None more nearly touches the
home life of the white man, none
more directly involves the health,
the safety and The moral tone of
this community. What the negro is
to the south, what the Filipino is to
the general government, what the
white mans burden is to the English
race the Indian is to u.s.
"Since Nevada was settled the In
dian has gone steadily downward
and of late with increased rapidity
In more populcu' community the
danger would not be so great, but
here it comes direct to the door of
every home The Indian is used as
harvest hand, as scrubber and wash
err, and is permitted to idlc on the
streets, on vacant lots and in dark
corners so that the necessity for the
promotion of sanitary laws and
cleanliness is apparent.
THE Nevada Indian Association
has been formed to aid the tribes
neglected by the government aud it
is now urging an appropriation
asked for by the Indian department
of 800, 600 to provide land and wa
ter sufficient to enable each family
to make home. 1t has other plans
which require the aid of our citizens.
1t is true that we cannot do every
thing but we can do something and
even little is well worth while.
"By united effort we can protect
the Indian in many ways, and |
remember that compared to the
guile of the average American tramp
the Washoe is simple child. The
boys and girls coming out of the nu
merous Indian schools need more |
help than any one else. They should
oe given work that will encourages
them and make them self supporting
instead of being forced to 90 bacl: to
the tribe. a sentiment should be
created that will punish the sale of
liquor instead of making it n joke.
Just to show them that we desire
their welfare, will throw around
them protecting influence and they
will respond readily.
"We feel that the good people of
Nevada can be appealed to in so
good u cause and when they reflect
upon the urgent need for immediate
effort they will respond as they do
20 every worthy appeal.
