The White Pine news. [volume] (Treasure City, Nev.) 1868-1906, 1870-07-30

Gubernatorial candidates here men
toned are Col. Phil. Roach, of The
Examiner; Thomas Mooney, of any
thing and everything; j. W. Vaudeville,
of Tuolumne, who advised against regis
tering negroes, in spite Of the Fifteenth
Amendment, and William Watt, of the
Eureka mine, at Grass Valley. Mayor
Selby is mentioned in a quiet way, but
be is thought unsound in politics, and
makes no noise. Roach and Mooney go
it strong in opposition to the pigtails,
and the friends of these are the most de-
monstratiye here to-day. Each n may
fancy himself Governor till the conyen-
ton a year hence, and then forget it for
ever.
THE vAD GovERSoRsHIP.
Speaking of Governors reminds me
Ina. an election for that Office comes off
in Nevada the ensuing Fail. I have OBJ
served the names of men mentioned as
Republican candidates, and one at least,
Mr.. Bateman, seems to be of a higher
order and with higher aspirations than
those | have mentioned as candidates for
this State. l had the pleasure Of meet
ing Mr.. Bateman in this city a few days
since, and he was enthusiastically well
coined by many old Comstock and Reese
River men as the next Governor of Ne
vada, and offers to stump the State for
him we're generously made. 1t seems
that the mining rather than the political
interest desires his nomination, hoping
to draw attention to and accelerate the
development of Nevada's great
And 1 don't see why not. You have
1ar4otn1r hid anonnh ~ @n1ffsafanu and
when such men as Ike Bateman and
Len Wines are named for high office,
give them, for once, a chance.
THE MINING INTEREST.
Many people here judge Of the condi-
ton of the mining sections by rates of
sale at the Stock Board; and now that
Hidden Treasure is down, and MONDAY,
Mammoth and Industry out of the mar
ket, seem to think that White Pine has
entirely died away. The Stock Board
may be q necessary evil, and therefore
tolerated, but Heaven knows it is a very
wicked hole. There is, however, a more
intelligent class who do not look to the
Brokers alone for information, and these
speak highly of your prospects. The
base metal mines give the most conf
dence, and the opinion is rising in their
favor as if it would take the character of
another miningiexcitement or furore. 1t
is well that an interest is turned in that
direction, for / believe that such mines
will prove the most remunerative TO the
small miner, and the most beneficial to
the country. These demand the cree
ton of smelling works, and when these
are once in perfect operation they will
receive all classes of ores, and the rich
chloride and the sulphuret can go with
the lead and aid each other in the reduc-
ton. All the metals will thus be saved,
and the enormous wastage of the stamp,
roasting and amalgamating process
avoided. The recent articles in The
News have called attention to the sub
ject and have drawn comment. Some
parties in this city feel quite sore over
the expose made of them by publication
of Mr.. Arthur's statement, but I think it
will tend to reform the abuse.
AN OPINION OF WHITE PINE.
l had the pleasure of meeting Mr.. Ju-
Illus P. Pannes, whom you a few days
since noticed as visiting White Pine as
the correspondent of Eastern and Euro
pean German papers, and gave q most
fiattering opinion of the people of Ham
ilton, and of the of Eastern
Nevada. Of the people, he said he had
never met q more intelligent, hospitable,
genial, polite and orderly set, and from
all the observations made, which were
careful and considerable. he prophesied
a bright future for the State. He re-
marked the scarcity of money in you
section. and, it seemed, very properly at
tributable to the want of proper reduc-
tior end separating works in your midst.
With the immense developments you are
making in your base metal mines, it can
not be long before capital and skill will
come to your aid, and every convenience
be supplied to most completely benefi-
ciate the ores. The very favorable opin-
ions of Mr.. Pannes, published as they
will be, both in New York and Europe,
will assist much in drawing the atten-
ton of wealthy, educated and industrious
Germans to Nevada.
