Holds Whiskey for Investment

Elko Independent; Somebody is
making sun while the hay is shining.
1t is said that two carloads of whis-
key recently arrived in Elko and that
it is to be held as an investment until
the price goes soaring; which is con-
fidently expected. Some believe
that whiskey which formerly sold for
four dollars a gallon will reach
twelve and possibly twenty. Unless
a heavy Government tax is assessed,
it looks like a good investment.
Power Company Making Extensions
Joe Beane, superintendent of the
Nevada-Valleys Power Company,
states that the company is construct
ing a power line through Humboldt
and Lander counties to connect with
the line at Rochester. A line will
also be run to Battle Mountain and
from this line branches will be run
to various valleys and towns. A
line is to be extended to Golconda
and from there to Winnemucca and
INTO Grass valley.

DEATH OF JUDGE c. c. GOODWIN
Nevada Pioneer Editor Succumbs
To Death After Short Illness
At Salt Lake Home

Salt Lake City, Aug. 25.-Judge C.
c. Goodwin. editor and author, and
for Fl years. from 1880 to 1901. edit
or in chief of the Salt Tribune. died
at his home late this afternoon, after
an illness of several months. Judge
Goodwin had been critically i'll for
more than a week and his death was
expected.
A Brilliant Writer
The death of Charles C. Goodwin
removes the last. with possibly one
exception, of the brilliant coterie of
writer's which sprang upin California
and Nevada during the sixties and
seventies. While best known as a
journalist, Goodwin's vocations in
cluded those of school teacher. mer-
chant. miner. lawyer. jurist. politi-
clan, orator, author and various other
lines of activity. He was born of
revolutionary stock near Rochester,
N. Y. April a, 1882.
Goes to Seek Fortune
During the California gold rush,
Goodwin, at the age of 20. journeyed
to the New Eldorado by way of Pan
anna, passed through the embryonic
San Francisco and settled at the in
land town of Marysvile. where he
became a lumber merchant. There
a fortune almost in his grasp was
lost by fire. He then turned miner
and took up the study of law.
Publisher of Territorial Enterprise
The discovery of the wonderful
Comstock lode at Virginia City, Ne
vada, in the latter SOS. led Goodwin
to that camp. where he became edi-
tor of the noted Territorial Enter
prise and was associated with such
mining operators as Mackay. Flood,
Fair. Sharon and many others who
acquired vast wealth, always missing
his own fortune by narrow margin.
Among his employees from time to
time were Mark Twain, Bret Harte,
Dan DeQuille (Wm. Wright. Joseph
T. Goodman and others who gained
fame in later life. He mixed in poll
tics. served as district judge and was
a candidate for Congress.
Leaves the Comstock
With the decline of the Comstock.
in the early sos. Goodwin removed
to Salt Lake City. where he served
as editor of the Tribune and the
Telegram of that city at various
times and later for many years of
Goodwin's Weekly, publication es-
tablished by his son, j. T. Goodwin.
Author Of Several Books
Goodwin was the author of several
widely read books. including: "The
Comstock Club" "The Wedge of
Gold" ''The Divine Light" and "As
Remember Them" volume of re-
collections of western men. To the
end of his life he worked tirelessly,
his mind retaining all the facility of
his more active days. His marriage
to Miss Alice Marnard took place
in 1877 and a son. James Todman
Goodwin of Salt Lake, and daughter,
Mrs. Robert Parker of Chicago, were
born to them.
