THE ELKO INDEPENDENT.
SATURDAY.. OCTOBER "a. 1870.

CHARLEY DRUMM came in from his ranch
in independence Valley this week. He reports
quite population at Tuscarora. consisting of
about 1875 Cinnamon and from 20 to 80 whites.
There is one American store and one China
store at Tuscarora. The water having dried
up, the Chinese are packing dirt to water.
and some of them are making considerable
money. One China company has taken out
since water on the claims disappeared, 200,
from dirt packed on their bamboo sticks.
Most of the claims are owned by the Chinese,
having been purchased from time to time
from the original white locators. These
claims pay well-from IS to $40 and $50 per
day, during the rainy season. Mr.. Drumm
saws one nugget OF 20 ounces was found last
Spring-another of 10 ounces. and several
pieces of four five ounces. The Chinese
are constantly accommodating in the valley, and
probably next Winter there will be not less
than 500 of them. 1t is very liberal on the
part of Uncle Sam to furnish these placers to
the Chinese free of charge, while one-half of
the white people of Nevada are too poor to
buy poll tax receipt to get to the polls.
ALI. THE SANE AS THE SAW MnL.-The
great national mill builder and Piute lumber
man, that didn't build mill by a dam site. "
who was announced to enlighten our citizens
last evening in the log-rolling business, did
not appear on the stage. A miner surmised
that his absence was owing to the fact that he
had "gone up the hume in search of his mill.
but that he didn't care dam as Nye and
his saw mill didn't amount TO more'n that no.
