Rawhide Emerges as Nevada's New Mining Sensation
The San Francisco Journal of Commerce notes Rawhide's rapid rise from desert waste to Nevada’s latest mining boom. In four months about 4000 residents have settled, with miners flooding in at 100 daily, leaping from rough camp life to booming prospecting amid harsh weather and scarce provisions. If Rawhide matches Goldfield, Nevada could gain a 15 000 population city and new county wealth, heralding further growth across the state.

Sutro Tunnel Mules Leave Underground Life
Twelve mules used to haul ore in the Sutro tunnel at the 700 foot level near Comstock surface today for the last time. They will not return underground as electric power will move cars along the underground railroad in the future. Snow fell as the animals were freed, triggering stampede attempts. The mules began work when Sutro tunnel opened in 1877, many died over the years, and the final dozen adapted to subterranean life. In 1890, snowbound Virginia City received provisions via the tunnel and shaft, keeping the town from starving.

Open Camp Standoff Ends In Goldfield Leasers Clash
Goldfield leasers insist on open camp as negotiations with E. Mahoney of the Western Federation of Miners break down. Federation demands include right to picket, recognition of a federation checkman, and free access by a walking delegate to workers on all leaser properties. Leasers refuse to recognize the federation and favor an open camp amid declining living costs and lower local prices. Also noted is a bill by Rep Mondell to double homestead entries from 160 to 320 acres, counting residence and improvements toward the extra entries.

Different Views on Harriman and Nevada Railroads
Two Nevada editorials argue over Harriman and the Southern Pacific. The Reno Journal supports Harriman gaining control of lines east of the Mississippi to foster transcontinental competition and curb monopoly, while the Rhyolite Bulletin notes Nevada freight costs are far higher than interstate rates, asking why local hauls cost 8.75 times as much.
