SUPPL EMENT WITH TO-DArS NEWS
THEIR OPINION OF US.

OF ther space 10 mining matters. anu UeSSitF-
tions ofthe numerous mines, their operations,
the state and progress Of their development
etc. We saw, Of course. because these mines
are the leading interest and almost the eN-
elusive one Of the country, and the topic is
one that most directly interests the readers
of the Territorial papers. who are mostly
residents OF the Territory, or those concerned
and interested, either directly or indirectly,
in these mining operations. The careful col
lection Of information upon this leading
topic involves no small amount Of unpleas-
ant and toiisome labor, and no incOnsidera-
bic expense. In accommodating such infor-
nation and faithfully disseminating it we have
fair share OF the labor, and have borne our
share OF the expense. We have ever per-
formed the task faithfully, truthfully and i'm
partially on our own part, aud we believe
such has been the course and intention OF
our contemporaries. Il appears, however,
from the columns Of the Mercantile Gazette
and Shipping Last, of San Francisco, that in
publishing such items Of mining information,
as We and our neighbors have been doing,
we have, 50 far as such wise men as he OF the
Gazette, and other upbelieving Thomases OF
that CITY Of shrewd men, been wasting our
sweetness on the desert air. The following
extract from an article in that paper Of April
lst (AlI Focrs Day upon mining matters,
We publish for the perusal Of the public gem
orally, and more particularly for the delecta-
ton Of those Of our contemporaries who may

Bully for the Sapienium Sharp Of the
Mercantile Gazette, Prices Currsat aud
Shipping LIST He knows it all. Fully
posted in all the secret arts and mysteries Of
subsidized and corrupt newspaper manage
ment, the willy organ of the "sofs pork"
and sour -four" dealers has found US all out
in our raScality. "Set thief to catch 4
thief" He has measured US in his own half
bushel. He is up 10 all the tricks of the
srade-you can't fool him. Nary time. If
the man knew word about the matter he
talks about, the papers Of this Territory
might possibly feel somewhat sore and cha
grined at such a rakins down, but when We
come 10 consider that the Cockney is about
as IT to write I book on the manners and
customs Of the inhabitants OF the moon as Of
things in Washoe, as far as any knowledge
OF the matter is concerned, his talk is simply
ridiculous.
Now, TO speak seriously and candidly upon
subject which is Of some Importance at
least to us, and certainly to those who look
TO US for information upon mines and mining
affairs. In collecting such information we
employ person whose specially 1t is TO visit
the mines in this district, see and observe for
himself the condition and workings OF those
mines, to collect all possible statistics bear
ing upon the same, and to faithfully give an
account of the results of his observations.
The person thus employed is one who has
ewes TO see and reason to understand what
comes under his notice, and does not look to
" Sentlemanly superintendent" to do his
looking and thinking for him. The insinu-
alton that such notices Of mines are paid for
BY interested parties is dirty falSehood,
based upon nothing but the low suggestions
of mind, itself corrupt, and ready to suspect
corruption in others. The course pursuedby
ourselves is to the best OF our information
and belief that of the other Territorial papers.
The information which we give is what we
believe to be as near the fact as can possibly
be ascertained. Our reputation is at stake
upon the reliability Of the information we
furnish the public, and upon the confidence
reposed in US depends our permanent success.
I. is our capital, our stock in trade, and not
to be trihed with or thrown away for small
bride or black mail. We again state that
whatever information we purport to give
upon mining affairs, as of our own knowledge
and observation, may be relied on as correct.
