3. That said affiant on behalf of
himself and on behalf of the citizens
and residents of the town of Winne
mucca. Humboldt county, state of Ne
vada, protests against said homestead
entry of said VV illiam H. Forquer, and 1

homesteads, in that h e h U 8 rouiila.)
on said homestead nor has he made
his residence on said homestead in ac
cordance with the requirements of the
homestead law.
2. That the said William II. For

LOSE CAPITAL GAIN
PUBLIC BUILDING
A special to the Gazette from Car
son City says that as was generally ex
pected the resolution introduced by
the Humboldt delegation providing
for a constitutional amendment estab
lishing the state capital at Winnemuc
was killed in the assembly Tuesday.
The measure developed more strength
than was expected, there being 16
votes in favor of moving the seat of
the state government.
Harrington and Mighels orated in
favor of Carson City and their argu
ments proved more impressive than
did those of the Winnemucca cham
pions who were headed by Speaker
Brandon, the latter calling speaker
pro tern Gardiner to the chair during
the debate on the resolution. The
measure was postponed indefinitely.
Senate Agrees to Public Buildings.
The bill prepared by the late Senat
or Nixon for public buildings in two
Nevada towns has passed the senate.
The following special dispatch was re
ceived here yesterdav:
“The senate today agreed to the
public buildings at Fallon to cost $60,
000 and one at Winnemucca to cost
$05,000, ag prepared by the late Sena
tor Nixon.’’

SEVERE SNOWSTORM RAGING
IN SALT LAKE CITY
A. C. Brown, of the Winnemucca
Mercantile company, returned this
morning from Salt Lake City, via the
Western Pacific. He had spent the
past three weeks visiting with his
daughter, Mrs. Holt. Mr. Brown states
that there were K or 9 inches of snow
on the ground in the Mormon capital.

MUTT AND JEFF" DRAWS
(ROWDFD HOUSE AT NIXON
Again has Winnemucca shown its
fine discriminating sense in matters
theatrical. A crowded house greeted
1 ‘ Mutt and .left Tuesday evening,
»nd there was not a person in the vast
audience hut who was glad they at
tended. For it is really a high-class
production and will get the money in
any city on earth.
The attraction is a musical comedy,
with the well-known characters of
‘Mutt” and “JefT” as the stars, but
is a matter of fact all they do is to
furnish the “horseplay,” while the
real merit of the show lies in the
'horus. There are a dozen or more
foung and shapely ladies with the ag
gregation, as well as half that number
if young men, all of whom are spe
cialists in singing and dancing. Cos
tumes were changed once or more
times during each act, which gave the
■ornpany an air of prosperity anl
greatly added to the picturesqueness
if the scenes. The crowded house
gave the players an inspiration, which
was heightened by the fact that the
lecessories of the theatre were all in
fine working order. The beautiful ef
fects produced by the varicolored
lights thrown to the stage from the
lalcony added much to the enjoyment
if the occasion.
Winnemucca is to be congratulated
m its geographical position. East of
the Rocky mountains a town of this
fize would never be visited by a show
if the excellence of “Mutt and Jeff.”
But Winnemucca has one of the finest
Itwi m limiGOw nn flirt Oitn Hi f l _ 1L.,
<how town of its size on earth and is
situated on the main line of travel
from east to west, midway between
two large cities. These are the decid
ing factors that secure for us the lead
ing traveling companies of the coun
try.

he had been held to the grand jury
by .fudge Staunton, in bonds of $2,

“BIO FOUR” LEASE WILL
SOON SHIP (AR DAILY
E. A. Ludwick, one of the ‘‘Big
Four,” who own the lease of that
name at Rochester, came in from camp
yesterday on No. 10, and will remain
in town probably until Monday, hav
:ng business before the county com
nissiouers. He states that the fourth
ar of ore to be shipped should be
finished loading at Oreana today, and
that as soon as the new wagon road is
finished his lease will ship a carload a
day.
The new wagon road is being built
from the top of the hill 17,000 feet to
intersect the county road. Pick and
shovel work was commenced Monday
morning, and with good weather the
work should be completed within the
next 30 days.
Yesterday the E. Reinhart Company
received a carload of giant powder,

DEMOCRATS ENJOY
THE PORK BARREL
(Special to the Silver State.)
Washington, Feb. 27—Congress
nan Fitzgerald of New York having
lemonstrated that he is above any |
■onsiderations of “pork” is still
inmmering away tor economy in the
mblic business. It is said that the
nsertion of a nice fat appropriation '
'or enlarging the postoffice site in |
Brooklyn in the public buildings bill j
'ailed to influence Fitzgerald one iota, ;
md that when this was learned the !
•ommittee quietly cut out the item.
The Democrats have shown a good j
leal of strength of purpose in this
sconomy program, but the pork barrel
;t too much for most of them. At the
•ate the government has been going
his fair land would soon have been
iprinkled over with postoffice huild
ngs like a hobbledehoy with freckles.
Yf course some postoffices are neces- j
'ary, but in order to get them it has
>een necessary to placate a lot of con
fressmen who did not neel them but
vho thought that government build
ngs would look well on Main street
md help gather in votes.
Government Roads.
For many years the government has
■xtended aid to “military' roads,
rhe lands granted in this way are
vorth enough now to build a good line
>f railroad from New York to San
>iego. But the good roads people
vant a wagon road over that route.
At least they have planned it from ;
Washington to the exposition city by
he “Silver Gate,” and at the conven
ion of southern crovernors heir! rp- 1
ently in Asheville, N. C., the question j
if constructing such a road was dis
ussed with much enthusiasm. Col.
). C. Collier, president of the San
)iego exposition, took time enough off
rom his duties boosting along the
ontractors on the buildings to send
vord to the governors that the west
vas aflame with enthusiasm for the
oad system. The meeting decided to
•all the proposed road the “Southern
I'ranscontinental Highway.’’ This
lighwav will make up a part of the
vstem advocated by the National
lighways commission.
Exposition Hustlers.
Any state that has a desire to secure
nore capital and more workers, which ,
ieeds brains and brawn ror its devel- i
ipment, and which has not yet arrang
'd to have some kind of an annonnce
nent of this fact at the San Diego
•xposition, had better get a hustle on
md secure space for an exhibit right
way.
Col. D. C. Collier, president of the ;
xposition has been lookin.g over the
ield and it is his opinion that practi
ally every state will have a building
nd an exhibit at San Diego. At first |
t was intended to have the southwest- i
rn states exhibit; then the plans wid- j
ned to include the whole west (as j
cell as the Spanish-American coun
ries), and now New York, New .Ter
ey, Virginia, West Virginia—in fact
icarly every one of these United
States seems bent on having a display
t San Diego. !
Probably it is because the hustlers;
t San Diego have been making such
plendid progress with their exposition j
liat the whole country has been im- •
iressed with it. Then San Diego is j
he first port in the United States that ,
he incoming tourists who have made
he passage through the great Panama
anal will be able to see, and they will •
cant to stop there awhile, bask under i
he palms, inspect the first mission ,
milt on the California coast, and
‘do’’ the Panama-California exposi- i
ion, with its flavor of old Spain and |
he mission days of the new world.
Laughing senoritas in lace mantillas
rill peer coquettishly through rose
mrdered lattice at the strangers, and
aballeros in velvet jackets and flow
ng sombreros will nonchalantly puff
heir cigarettes. San Diego will reek
lur hm <ti « uiui ui uu; utuu iuf i
onquistadors, and those who pause;
here are likely to find themselves en- ;
hanted to a degree which shall make
hem careless whether they go farth- I
T or not.
Shadow of Intervention.
With the session nearing an end
vhen affairs in Mexica came to a pass
vhich seemed to threaten real trouble ,
vith that country, it soon became evi- I
lent that there would be little more
usinesg transacted by congress. It
vas sincerely hoped that nothing
vould oocnr to make armed interven
ion in the neighboring republic neces
ary, but both the president and con
gress seemed to be determined not to I
hirk the responsibility should it be
oine necessary to protect Americans
md American interests.
The immigration bill and the rail
oad physical valuation bill were
miong trie few that were taken up
eriously. A committee hearing was ,
lad on railway mail pay on Monday j
>ut it was said that no more hearings
vould be held on that subject for some
ime. The subject is one which will ;
equire considerable consideration.
Phe house is determined not to allow ■
my action with respect to federal eon
rol of waterpower to he taken at this
ession. There is fear that the big
apply bills may be sidetracked and
he work of congress from now until
darch 4 will be devoted mainly to
'etting appropriations for the various
lepartments of the government pass
'd.
President Wilson’s Views.
One of the most remarkable books
‘ver issued is the volume containing
he views and policies of Governor
Aoodrow Wilson. Coming just be
ore his inauguration as president the |
took will be much consulted in the
!our years to come by those who want
0 know what the president thinks on
1 number of things; for instance, on
NATIONAL BEGINS
TO LOOKUP AGAIN
Tom McOrifT arrived in town yester
day from National, bringing a con
firmation of the report that about ten
liavs ago the Walker brothers made a
rich strike on their lease on the
“Oheefoo” claim, owned by J. L.
Workman. He also t>rought samples
of the rock, which runs about $250 to
the ton, $16 in gold and the balance in
silver. The ledge was cut at a verti
ial depth of one hundred feet, and the
vein ig from 8 to 12 inches in width.
There is also a parallel vein, two feet
wide, that shows values of $40. The
first car of ore from the lease will be
hauled to W'innemucca for shipment,
beginning in about ten days.
At present the National Mines com
pany has about fifty men employed,
and it ig estimated that by the first
nf April this number will have been
increased to 200. There are, in addi
tion.three leasers at work in the camp,
with smaller forces, namely N. P. R.
Hatch, Dr. Wheeler and \Valker Bros!
It is stated that Gordon Campbell,
who wag in camp the other day with a
narty of San Francisco mining men,
will resume work on his Birthday
(ease within the next few weeks.
Present indications are that Nation
al will have a revival the coming sea
ton. The great trouble with the camp
heretofore has been that ore in paying
quantities has only been found in the
>ne place. While the rock ig fabu
ously rich and, had the yalues been
spread over a dozen or more mines,
would have made a camp equal to Ton
)pah or Goldfield, a one-mine camp
lever attains any m-eat size Rot now
hat rich ore hag been found in anoth
'r locality, it will lend encouragement
:o claim owners and leasers, who will
without doubt spend more time and
nonev in an effort to find ore.
A mining expert who recently visit
'd the camp made the statement that
t was the greatest showing he had
*ver seen in his long mining experi
snce, but predicted that it would be
lecessary to go deep before finding
>re. This prediction has already been
verified in the case of the National
Vlines company, as well as the strike
>f the Walker Bros. In the last in
itance, there was absolutely no show
ng on the surface.

PEDDEI; HAS ETIDENTLY
ACQUIRED THE JAIL HABIT
W. H. Vedder, who is well known
ill along the line across the state of
Sevada, due to the fact that he seems
;o want to be something else than
what he really is, is again in limbo,
md this time he is in bad with Uncle
■iam. Vedder has just finished serv
ng a term in the county jail for ob
aining money under false pretenses
!rom Constable Zundell at Montello
ast winter, representing himself to
>e an officer from another state after
lome horsethieves. He also served
ime in Winnemueca for practically
he same offense, and a person
would think that he had his lesson,
slut no sooner did he get out of the
ail here than he went down to China
own, and going into the store of
Vah Lung, represented himself as a
•evenue officer looking around to see
f everything was all right. He
nade the Chinaman put up $25 as
lecurity that he was complying with
he law, saying that if he found
everything as it should be the money
would be returned. The Chinaman
lotified Sheriff Harris and Vedder was
