The Silver State from Winnemucca, Nevada • 2

THE SILVER STATE. the froi The Reno Gazette, shortly after the election, pnbhshed a communication from alula, of the Land Department of the C. P. R. R.f on rights.

Mr. Mills, who is a writer of ability, by fallacious, though reasoning endeavored to make it appear that it was an injustice tp sod a detriment to the State to permit stock to run at large in car sagebrush valleys and as by doing so they trespassed more or less on the tuofenced lands of private individuals. The argument of Mr. Mills, which was printed in the Statk as itappeared la tha Gazette, ted stockmen to -believe that an effort would be made at the presant session of the (Legislature to pass an act embodying hie views, and it became a subject of general comment, many atock owners declaring that if an.act of that character was passed, they would remove their herds to Idaho or Eastern 0 a nuw iuc which naa not ex pressed an opinion, if it has any, in favor or against the views of Mr. Mills, announces that no attempt will be made to pass laws of an unfriendly nature to the cattle business.

This implies that the thrown out by the Gazette, in what it calls "a private letter from Mr. Mills to a has met with such unanimous disapproval that no attempt will be made to crystalize the views expressed in the private letter into law at this session of the Legislature. It seems, after all, that corporations and their organs have yet 'some respect for public A MEW IlKL. An Iowa genius baa invented a new fuel which bids fair to take the place of coal in the prairie States. He grinds cornstalks and coarse grass together and moistens the pulp, which is then pressed into blocks and dried.

One block about A foot long and four inches thick will give an steady heat. This fuel can be produced on the prairies for two dollars per ton, and the inventor claims that it will last twice as long as the best 419ft coal, Some enterprising Nevadan ought to take the hint from this Iowa inventor, and utilize the sagebrush and greasewood of our plains, as he does cornstalks and rye-grass, in making fuel which can be transported as cheaply as coal, handled as easily as wood, and which will give more heat than either. If blocks made of cornstalks and coarse grass will last twice as long as the best soft coal, blocks of equal size made of sagebrush and greasewood ought to last four times as long, and the supply of the raw material is practically ioexhaustible and will not cost anything. A fuel factory of this character in any of the sage-covered valleys along the railroad would find a ready marked for its product at renumcrative prices. COMPLIMENT.

Governor Stevenson, in hia inaugural message, makes honorable mention of his predecessor, Governor Adams, who, though always kind and courteous, was never more so thau he has been to his successor, notwithstanding they were Opposing candidates in a heated political contest. This deserved compliment to the retiring tiovernor must be gall and wormwood to those who villified and maligned him in tbs campaign which ended last November. Though Governor Adams had been in office twelve years, four of them as Chief Executive of the State, his traducers dare not assert that he used his influence or prostituted his position to benefit rings or cliques, or that he did not administer the affairs of ably and economically. Noticing that the commission of the Kureka Postmaster will expire this month, the Sagebrush Stockman says, 4'an imported man for the position is now in We hope the Stockman does not think thst officials, like cattle, can be improved only by importation, though that skeins to be the opinion of the President and the State Legislature.

Budden Deaths from Bniall Pox.

New York, Jan. Mouri, a Brooklyn druggist, and his entire family, were taken seriously ill a day or two ago, and his three children died. There was much mystery about the cause of their illness, and doctors proceeded on the theory that they had been poisoned by something which they had eaten. To settle this question conclusively, however, a post mortem examination of the fcodies of the dead children was held today, and it was made evident, so the dootors agree, that their deaths were caused by hemorrhage small pox. Other members of the family will probably die.
