The Territorial Enterprise, published
in Virginia City, under the immediate
control Of parties claiming title under
Comstock, comes TO Us laden with the
following answers TO the statement made
by US Of the grounds Of our claim. They
say: eve have devoted some study to
Mother Crosses Nursery DittieS; We re
greet to see how rapidly that valuable
work is becoming obsolete. The organi-
zation Of the GroSch Consolidated Min
ing Company bid US hope that future
generations Of infants may be delighted
with ballads as nonsenscal and ridicu-
louS." They argue further: Whoever
finishes the work will receive the graft
tude Of all nursery mails. and an endless
fame among Washoe children. Our ba,
bies will sirg with inIan!ile joy when
their mothers sing"
Who owns the ComstockR
We, say the Grosches,
So loud and f-rocious;
We own the Comstock.
What is your title?
Shameless audacity,
fraud and rapacity;
That is our title.
The argument continues, the meter only

"Work away baby upon your big lode,
While the Grosches keep silent your tile Is Hoo',
When they get angry your title will fall,
And down comes Ophir, Gould Curry and all.
The 0phir on the Comstock,
Was rich as bread and honey.
The Gould 4 Curry, further south,
Was raking out the money.
The Savage and the others
Had machinery all cnmplete,
when In come the Grosches
And nipped all our feet"
