ELECTION DAY.

ELECTION DAY.
This is the great, all-important day,
when the American freeman goes anu
deposits his ballot deciding the fate Of
all fortunate or unfortunate aspirants
to be rulers over him. The American
freeman Is doing this thing TO i very
great extent to-day here in Gold Hill
and the balance of Storey county.
The, Gold Hill Brass Band are
out IN a gay band wagon. footing their
horns in splendid style for the Rcpub-
lican candidates, while their six horses
and wagon are handsomely decked ont
with fanclful and appropriate notices,
and a picture adjoining the side Of the
wagon represents the big old NANCY
bullock, Bradley, represented rs hay
ing more e than intellectual devel-
opments, being lassoed and corralled
by the dashing Republican mounted
edquero. Tritle. The Democracy, too.
have n band Of music out in a wagon
with plumed horses. Most appropri-
ately, the e end of the concern is
decorated with n picture representing
a railroad accident, with the Demo-
cratic candidates running for safety
with a lot Of Cinnamon. The Demo-
Gratis seem much excited, but their
fellow runner arc taking it very
coolie. Straws show which way the
wind blows, and so do the Chinese
tails. The Chinese are in the lead,
and their tails stick straight out
behind, Indicating consequently Il head
wind for the Democracy. And they
will find 1t a head wind, too, this cleo
ton. We are pleased to notice that all
the saloons throughout Gold Hill and
Virginia. are closed, Is far Is the sale
of intoxicating liquors are concerned,
yet somehow all who really Insist upon
it find what spiritual inspiration and
stimulus their systems require through
the mediumship Of private bottles and
other clandeStine arrangements. No
body will die from lack Of whisky.
Notwithstanding all the spirit and
element, however, we are pleased to
notice that the election passes off
quietly, and there is no desperate
fighting, except In the cast of Il candi-
didate and II who wat apparently
not his friend, ut Virginia, this morn
ing. The started In for 4 good square
scientific fight, but had only X
changed the usual preliminaries Of
of good sparring before 4 meddling
policeman arrested them both-also
the fight. All joking aside. however.
the election ia pretty much decided
already. The main Republican ticket
Is very much ahead in Virginia and
Gold Hill. The State ticket Is safe.
and the only scratching and conse-
quent dubiousnesS Is in the county
ticket. We feel safe. however, in stat
ing that the entire Republican ticket
will be elected throughout.
RIcu ORE FROM THH DUSpERBERa.-
We were shown yesterday n small box
full-about 100 pounds-of ore from
the famous Dunderburg mine. Such ricl,
ore Is seldom seen even in the world
renowned Comstock. II was literally
lousy with fleckS, specks and scales OF
native silver and gold and the ore of
fine porous character, easy to work.
The ore of this mine contains no base
metal except iron pyritcs, and this is
not considered hardly any objection,
by experienced ore workers. The
ledge itself Il a huge one, being over
80 feet thick between the walls,
and the very rich pay streak from
which this good ore comes il about six
feet thick. 1t is in the slopes above
the lower level 300 feet from the sur
face, and bids fair to yield largely in
the future. Quite a large lot of this
very rich ore was brought 10 Carson a
few days since for the Inspection ofthe
curious and Interested in the mineral
developments of our thriving state.
When the new mill gets to work on
this ore. some very astonishing bullion
returtis nay be looked for. Success
say we to this or any other real good
mine on the Pacific coast. A CORES
pondent writing from there, under
date Of October 2Sth, in speaking OF
the Dundcrberg, says: 1T is certainly.
In my opinion, u Of the most val
liable claims aver discovered oil the
coast if not in the world. | have WIS.,
tied nearly all the most valuable
mines In California aud Nevada and
the Dunderberg lode beats them all.
IL ia a true iisSiirc vein, from 20 to 80
feet wide. running nearly north and
south. From the shaft, which Is down
about 50 feet, the rock has paid in mill
process from $50 to 100 to the ton, the
gold largely predominating. There Is
u tunnel In over COO feet in length,
which taps the ledge near 800 feet from
the surface. Drills have been run
along the ledge over 200 feet. Good
ore has been found all the way-somc
assays have given over 81 600 to the
ton. Some ore was taken ont to-day
which | am satisfied will mill over
$1,000 to the ton. Native gold and
silver Is plainly to be seen. am posi-
tive that l cannot he mistaken, fOrl
