The DIscovERER OF GoLD.-J. w. Marshall,
the first discoverer of gold in California, is
said to be living at Kelsey's Diggings, in FL
Dorado county, California. He is upward of
fifty years of age, and though feeble, is obliged
to work for his board and clothes, not being
able to earn more. The Truckee Tribune
warmly advocates raising donation for him.
1t suggests collection, limiting the subscrip-
tons to fifty cents each, to be sent to some re-
sponsible party-Controller Watt, of Califor-
MIA, for instance.
The suggestion ought to be acted upon 1t
is shame that while contributions for every
conceivable purpose have been taken up in Cal
ifornia end Nevada, and sent to the suffering,
thousands of miles distant, this poor old man,
the Columbus Of the mineral world, is per-
mitted to drag out weary existence here,
without assistance or sympathy. The old
pioneer ought to be remembered and cared for.

COMPARISON OF OREs.-It appears from the
report of w. X. Parkinson, State Controller,
that the yield of the mines for the year 1867 8
in Storey county, amounted to 447,37O tons.
In Lander county the yield was 1902 tons,
and little more in Nye county. The average
value of the rock worked in Storey county was
$50 "a; in Lander s1s5 SO, and in Nye SOL.
SO. This speaks well for the wealth of Lam
der county mines.

SToRMISG THE OUTwoRKs.-The Territories
are following up the womens Suffrage move
ment with rush. Wyoming having estab-
lishsd the precedent, Governor McCook, of
Colorado, now comes to time with legisla-
tive message recommending the enEranchise-
ment of the ladies of that Territory. The pro-
position evidently meets with favor in the
Legislature. A bill has been introduced in
the Legislature of New Mexico for the same
purpose. Evidently, woman has found the
friend she has been looking for so long out
here on the frontiers. Her empire is to DO on
the mountains and on the desert.

CoMrLIMESTARY.-The Inland Empire pays
a high compliment to the business men of
Elko in the following notice:
The people of E.lko seem to be alive to the
importance of establishing commercial rcln-
tions with the many promising mining towns
springing up i'll almost every part of Eastern
Nevada. As a shipIing point, Elko certainly
enjoys many advantages, but without an { fort
20 control the increasing trade of the mining
communities both north and south they would
30 for naught. Carn, it is contcudrd by II
great many persons familiar with the country,
IS the natural base on the railroad for supply
ing Eureka, Pinto, Reveille, Troy, Grant, and
possibly White Pine districts; but their are no
''rustlers" in that place, and the entcrprising
business men of Elko have secured, and will
probably retain the trade of the localities
mentioned, including many more fourishing
camps and settlements to be brought into ex-
istence by future developments in this section
of the State. Elko is now pretty firmly es-
tablished as the great shipping center of East
ern Nevada, and with her vast agricultural
surroundings will, in the not far distant future,
be one of the banner counties of Nevada.

BEEF TRADE WITH CHICAGo.-We are in
formed that /. w. Tiff has for some tine
back been engaged in slaughtering beef cat
tie, south of town on Crow creek and ship
ping the quarters to Chicago. One or two
car loads of good beef have in this manner
been sent from Cheyenne daily to that place.
This enables the citizens Of Chicago, or "A part
Of them at least, to enjoy a beef-steak, free
from rinderpast and Texas fever, whenever
they get their meat from Mr.. lifts consignees
This is the beginning Of what is destined to
become an important trade with the Eastern
towns; and ono that will insure the con-
sumers of beef better and more reliable mr.
ticle of food than the slop-fed and sickening
and Northwestern roads, from Cheyenne to
Chicago, for one dollar and fifty cents per
hundred pounds. Cheap enough.-Cheyeane
Leader.

Cox and the President.
An Associated Press dispatch says:


1t NAV be stated. with confidence. that
the reasons for General CoX's retirement
involved no difference whatever on public
affairs. and. contrary to report. there was
entire harmony on the policy Of conducting
affairs through the agency OF civilians Sc
lected for their business qualification as
well as for their known benevolent charac-
ter. The only thing that could be con
strued as involving disagreement tetween
Cox and the President was the AcHaIlahIn
claim.
A year ago tic President expressed 10
Cox his desire that no patent be signed III
his name either Tor McGarrahan OF the New
Idra Company until Congress had finally
acted upon tie subject. as much corruption
had been charged or both sides. and a. the
question was undergoing Legislative in
Quiry even before the present ADMINISTERS
ton came into existence, and on tie twenty
second OF August last. the President wrote
Cox note. III which lie communicated
similar views and prohibited the signing
of such patent by the secretary appointed
to sign land patents for the President. uu-
less by his own specific order or through
the Secretary himself. The Secretary. on
the reception OF the Presidents note,
promptly gave the required instruction to
The land patent secretary.
General Cox explained 10 the President
that McGarrahan's ease was not before the
department. 1t was the New Idra Com
pany's claim to the same quicksilver mines,
the possession of which is contested by Nc
Garrahan. But this matter was not the
cause of Secretary CoX's resignation. Tie
reason given for withholding the CORE
pondcncc between Secretary Cox and the
President. in regard to the resignation and
its acceptance, is that ii was. at the time 1t
took place, considered to be private, by
both parties and involves no difference on
public measures as d cause of otfic!a! separa-
ton.
1t has been ascertained, from official
sources. that no person has yet been decided
on for Commissioner Of Internal Revenue,
nor is it likely an appointment viii be made

GENERAL. JAMES NcCLEERf.

From the Raples Gazette
We place at the head of our paper oday.
as our candidate for Congress. the name OF
General James McCleery, OF Caddo. We
have previously. during this election, car
RED the banner and advocated the election
OF The Hon. c. c. Antoine. OF Caddo; but
that gentleman, from motives OF exalted
patriotism and party devotion has with
drawn his name from the contest. thus
leaving no division i'll the Republican ranks
on this. the most important question winch
is to come before the people IN the coming
election.
misunderstanding in regard TO the time
and place Of that nominating convention,
and perhaps. irregularities III conducting the
convention, had resulted in each of these
gentlemen claiming to he the regular Re
publican nominee. and each OF them were
supported by warm and powerful parties
of personal and political friends. And at
one time the breach seemed so WIDE, and
the contest so warm. that we really feared
that our party would be defeated i'll this
important election by our own disSenslons,
and lack of party discipline, rather than by
the strength of our adversarles. But hap
PLY. this catastrophe is now aVerted. and
the election OF our candidate secured, by
the patriotic action OF Mr.. Antoine.
Although General McCleery resides at
the extreme northwestern limit OF his dis
trict, and has not heretofore been identified
prominently with the politics OF tins State.
he is well and taverably known to most Of
our readers, and we hesitate not to say viii
receive the vote of every Republican IL
this parish. We could, and would say
much more about the General in this article:
Of his services to the country iii time Of
war. Of the serious wounds which he then
received. and which have crippled him for
his lifetime: Of his services as school
officer OF this State, and more than all. of
his eminent abilities ana true worth as Il
citizen. but we prefer to let the General
speak for himself We understand that he
will make a thorough canvass OF orr parish
before the election, when our people will
have fair opportunity to judge Of him and
his abilities to serve them in the next Con-
greSs.
