Show I ON THE EASTERN LINE. The county of Elko, is having the benefit of a new border excitement at tho expense of the town of Elko. This time the centre of attraction is on the boundary line of Nevada and Utah, T7hich is tho eastern boundary of Elko county. The Schell creek location lo-cation is on the boundary line between Elko and White Pino counties, constituting consti-tuting tho southern boundary lino of Elko. Both of those fato locations are drawing away considerable population popula-tion from the central district and distributing dis-tributing them on guard at tbo extremities. ex-tremities. A mine has been recently purchased by Buel & Batcman about Bix niileS south of Tccoma, on tho lino of tho Central Pacific railroad, about twonty-fivo twonty-fivo miles cast of Toano. Consideration Considera-tion reported to be $125,000. Tb mine is undoubtedly a good ono, as tho ore was tested in Elko last winter and yielded astonishingly. Furnaces will bo speedily ercctod at the mine, and a town has been surveyed and entitled Buel. Hither tho restless rest-less seekers after the root of all good and evil are turning thoir wayward steps. Quite a numbor of the old residents of the western portion of the country, and from Schell creek, Hamilton Ham-ilton and Utah, have gone to the new camp, and probably many of them Will winter thero should tho prospect continue con-tinue bright as aL-prcscnt. Tho Utah lino is said to run through tho new town of Buel. Tho probability ia that Utah will obtain the -major benefit of the settlement, as wo understand tho furnaces and works will bo erected on that side of the line, taxation rating at much lower figures in Utah than Nevada. The success which has generally gen-erally attended tho enterprises of the firm of Buel & Bateman has inspired a confidence among the floating population popu-lation in their "luck." Tho latest of these enterprises, Eureka and Utah, certainly havo left flattering tokens behind them of what boldness, energy and sagacity can cllcct. If theyac-complish theyac-complish bimilar results at Tecoma or more correctly Buel, wo may havo a new town on the border nest summer which will be an honor to the distinguished distin-guished gentleman whose namc it bears.
