put the pole back in its place. At least he
got the turkey. and the pole was found all

Now we don't like to NEEDLE in matters
that do not concern US, but fair play il
a Jewell" and we like to see it maintained,
The Gold Hill News has found, as any
paper published in Nevada must find, tina,
its patronage does not justify the publica'
ton of long kilograms. We think we
know enough of the newspaper business in
this State to say this, and make it a general
proposition - that the limited field for
news journals that this State affords, rem
ders the publication Of q frst-clasS city
daily, anywhere in this State, incompati-
BILE with a remunerative investment Of
means. Well, all this is predatory to
what we started in to say with relation to
the Gold Hill News and its immediate
neighbors. The Enterprise, which is pub
lished in Virginia, takes, as is its custom,
the kilograms which appear in the News,
without giving credit therefor. This sort
Of procedure is esteemed, among news
paper people, as unprofessional, and I'M
justifably discourteous as it is for one
physician to hold out inducements to q
fellow practitioners patients to become
his, or for one lawyer to tamper with an
others clients.
But there is another paper published in
Virginia-the "Union," So-called. 1t has
recently made its appearance as an even
ing issue, running opposition to the News.
Since this opposition began, the News,
not to be outdone (it has not been equaled
yeti began again to publish long kilograms
from the East. The Union has essayed
something Of that sort, too. Now the
Appeal, yesterday. morning. published a
column or so Of telegraphich matter and
credited it the News, its source, in Ne
vada. The large publication Enterpriss
also gave it to its readers-but without
giving its original as We did. Well, as we
said before, that is none of our bread and
butter, nor do we want to raise q quarrel
with our large n~eighbor about it; but
when we picked up the Union, last even
ing, and there found that Identical dis
patch, almost word for word as it appeared
in the NBws-and bdded, at that-we
could not help saying to ourself, what q
confoundedly mean thing a man or a
newspaper gets to be when he or 1t pro-
fesses Democracy Stealing the large
papers pilferings! That is awful mean.
we are not given to puffery, nor do we
believe in il, as between two newspapers.
It looks as childish as the daily parade Of
one another's names by the lads who do
the locals for the Storey county papers.
But we will say this much, that the Union
men Of Storey county ought to stand
square by the News whether it depletes
its exchequer to furnish columns OF tele-
grams for us to copy and its neighborS to
confiscate, or whether it goes on the even
tenor Of its way, just as II there wa no
such guerrilla as the misnamed "Union"
within a hundred miles Of it. In other
words, the Union men of this State should
stick by themselves and uphold their
newspapers.-Carson appeal Of to-day.

We have here an aggregstefail in round

We have here an ~aggregatefall in round
number of IS, 900, 900 since the beginning
Of October. It is true that the stock has
not actually changed hands at these
figures, but the money value Of the prop
erty in the hands of the owners Is So, 0o0,-
900 less to-day than on the first of Octo-
Der last, when the rate Of money fell to
one per cent. This decline has been un-
accompanied by any money pressure, fail
ure or commotion, and we may point to
the facts as indicative Of the great financial
strength Of this community. Had such
losses, OF q relative magnitude to popula-
ton and general wealth, been sustained in
any other community where credits largely
circulate, a widespread revulGian could
not but have resulted. Here the holders
have lost their own money and are so
much poorer, but their losses do not in
yolve other people.
The condition of the mines does not
much improve. The expenses are not
brought down to the deteriorated charac-
ter of the ores, and unless a thorough
change is made at the annual election pub
lie confidence canhot be revived.
Notwithstanding these large losses in
mining shares, whereby $s,000,o 900 has
been taken from the available cash means
of the public, money has not become very
dear. It has, indeed, risen from / per
cent. per month, which was the rate at
bank October lst, to l4@l4. Sometimes
lower rates are had, and undivided capital
is loaned at l per cent, and, as in the case
Of some real estate loans, 10 per cent. per
annum, and money which had been en-
ployed in temporary loans on stocks now,
consequent upon the loss of confidence in
them, seeks other directions. There have
been some small amounts Of stocks sold
here for Eastern account, and the money
RENTED. The general supply Of money
is getting better, there being more dispo-
sition to sell produce.
The supply Of bullion, in the aggregate.
is good. Some localities improve in yield,
while others decline. The receipts thus
for this month have been 81, 800, 900, of
which a fair proportion has sought the
Mint. The price Of Bars is not opened
for the steamer, but the quotation is $40
$3.50; Silver ! premium. The Mint gets
a fair proportion. but will close on the
goth, to remain closed about three weeks.

! THIRTEEN THOUSAND GRAB,
ON THE CITY TREASURY.

- -.
Upon examining the books in the City
Treasurer's Office, in Virginia City, it is
discovered that a gross violation Of law
was committed last Winter, by the late
Treasurer. After the city debt was
funded, after the bill so providing had
been approved by the Governor, the City
Treasurer paid out $l3,74s IS. This
aggregate of payments was made within
two days; and from moneys that came
into the Treasury after the funding bill
had become a law. This amount consti-
tuted the tax receipts for the two days ;
the income being drained as fast as it came
in, for the payment Of scrippers. in palp-
able and audacious c~ontravention of law.
This sum is unlawfully disbursed for tho
liquidation of eighty-fve pieces Of debt
evidence |; undoubtedly held in the hands
of n or two persons. 1t may be impos-
sible to prore who was in collision with
the City Treasurer in this transaction, who
the real scrippy was that slid his scrip un-
der every receipted tax bill as it came in
with a cash return. We have been in
formed that a certain person once boosted
that he was the smart chap who manipu-
lated the gobbling machine-from the
outside. But, inasmuch as the wrong is
probably altogether irreparable, through
any legal trial for whole or partial recoy-
cry to the city, the name Of the shark is
not so important. Tho Treasurer, the
prime accountable party, the n under
bond of faith to the citizens, is upon the
record for this deed. We find that after
the debt was funded, the Treasurer paid
himself $3.50 00-paid himself all that was
due him up to date Of funding after the
debt had been funded.
There are certain incidents connected
with this affair that were not fully ex-
planned until this revelation was made.
The City Treasurer was fully notified Of
the passage OF the act OF funding, though
there was an unnecessarily long visit paid
by one of the city officers to Carson, under
the supposed suggestion Of a present city
officer.
In this connection, we must express our
commendation of the admirable manner in
which the present City Treasurer's books
are kept. They are clear, accurate, ele-
CANT. If the Legislature this Winter pass
a new funding law, or otherwise touch
the arrangement OF the city finances,
the public will feel confident that there
will be no mistakes committed to the
$4,000 tune above cited. If city affairs
had been conducted, in years gone by, as
they have been under Mayor Jones ad-
ministration, Virginia would have had
little OF no debt.

AN UNHEALTHY Posr.-A corresPon-
dent Of the San Francisco Coll, writing
from Fort Breckenridge, Arizona. says the
California troops at Calsbaza. the most
southern post in the Territory, are dying

hundred and eighty men but torty:6rs are
reported for duty. The writer says the
pos. has been twice abandoned heretofore
on account Of its unhealthiness, and sug-
gests tina. ",he convenience Of three or
four dozen Arizona miners () should not
be made a pretex, for numbering hundreds

A SPIRAL RAILRoAD.-Quite an import
ant mechanical feat Is in progress Of accom-.
plishmsnt at the great iron ore mountain, in
Cornwall, England. This work consists Of a
spiral road which starts from the level OF the
Cornwall railroad, and r~eyolves around the
mountain, being carried along, in many
places, BY trustlework, or heavy embank-
ments, and sometimes through deep cuts
made through the ponderouS and solid bodies
Of iron ore, until it reaches the very top Of
the mountain. A powerful locomotive has
been obtained to move the trains. The spiral
portion Of the road will bs something over
two miles in length. We have no iniorma-
ton OF the gradient to DO overcome.
