LOADED DICE

Mr.. Sutro having failed in his scheme
to steal the Comstock Lode from its
owners, some little account Of the man.
ner in which his work was done and the
.ttle games he resorted to for accom-
Rshing his ends may not be found lack
ing interest. The appointment OF Har-
vey, referred to in the subjoined WASH
ington telegram Of the 18th inst, was
a most open and unblushing packing Of
a committee in Sutro's interest. For
tunately for the country it did not win:
The Senate Committee ON Public
Lands held a meeting this morning. and
contrary to expectation Sutro's Mineral
Land Patent bill was called up and dis
posed Of by a vote to indefinitely post
pone the whole matter. Those voting
against the bill were Stewart Oglesby,
Window, Kelly and Boutwell,. Those
in its favor were Pratt. Sprague, Harvey
and Upton.
ring the vote Of 0glesby, who Is from
Illinois, and supposed to be under the
influence Of Morton, Pratt and other
manipulators in the interest Of Sutro.
Oglesby. however, at the meeting last
evening. fully satisfied himself by ask
ing questions Of Sutro. who answered
them in such q way as to reveal the
whole plot. II has only been discovered
this week that Harvey was placed on the
oo-mtttaa ,n ,ta.a - waAlairh M tho
request Of Mr.. Morton, who induced
wadleigh to resign. since Sutro's defeat
before the Judiciary Committee had been
ascertained. Harvey and Upton both
were members Of the Committee on
Mines and Mining. and had argued that
the question should be decided by the
Judiciary Committee. After the judi
eiary Committee had reported adversely
they were both anxious to vote for Mr..
Sutro in the Committee on Public Lands.
Senator Jones' speech to the commit
| tee last evening created n strong I'M
preston, and several Senators to-day
hal pledged themselves to use their in
fiuence TO see that the Mining Commit
tee shall be fairly heard through their
! Representatives and Senators. The lie

directed against the Pacific coast in the
, interest Of monopolies, Spectators and
schemers. will be popular.
A prominent member OF the House to-
day told Mr.. Houghton that he had only
one vote to be ashamed Of this session,
and that was the ono he cast for Sutro.
He said many other members had ex-
pressed the regret that they had not
treated the Pacific coast delegation with
the proper respect. The action OF the
Senate Committee ON Public Lands to-
day leaves Mr.. Sutro without any hopes
Of influencing aid for his scheme. He
must rely on his own efforts to pass the
Ward bill. or pass the Negley amend
ments over the report Of the Judiciary
Committee. neither OF which is possible
ut this session or probable at at any
time. II may now be- said that Sutro
has been signally defeated, and what
ever friends he has are working secretly
for him, IL at all.

Messrs. Whittenberg & Mendes, who
have for some time past been prosecute
ing work on the California mine, situat-
ed about three miles from town, in New
York Canyon, had their perseverance,
and expenditure rewarded last week by q
discovery Of ore which will in all prob
ability repay them for all outlay with a
manifold addition. The mine has been
prospected by two shafts, one sixty feet
deep and the other fifty. The discovery
alluded : to was made in the former and
consists Of a body Of ore which is now
eight feet in width and increases rs
work progresses. Appearances are that
the body is quite extensive, and assays
which have been made proye the ore to
be Of good quality. The principal body
IL carbonate, but there is an admixture
Of quartz-some Of which We have seen
when assays SO in gold and SOS in
silver. The carbonate yields by assay
Sl26 to the ton. Since the finding OF
the metal a tunnel has been commenced,
worked by two shifts, two men ON each.

DIo LEWIS has been investigating the
effects of the prohibitory liquor law in
Maine. and he sends his conclusions to
the Cincincinnati Gdi,tts. He says an
earnest friend Of the law told him that
there were 800 places where drinks were
sold in Bangor. simply because there is
patronage for 800 places; and Bangor
only $1,000 inhabitants. Dio Lewis
says there has probably never been a
town in Ohio where there was a drink
ing saloon for every 80 Of the inhabit'
ants, and yet that is the proportion in
Bangor. He continues: "And yet l did
not see an open drinking place while
was in the State. There IL no doub,
that the traffic has been driven undei
cover. and there is not u shadow Of
doubt that the consumption Of drinks
in the State Of Maine is enormous.

Thursday morning some thieves broke

REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES.

The primaries were held on Fri
dav at Carson City, and resulted in
the election of the Judge Wright
District judge delegates. 1t is I'M
derstood that this carries with it
Putnam (present incumbent) for
State Printer, and that the delegation
are favorable to Stevenson for Gov
ernor. With Storey county - sure
for Stevenson-the contest centres in
Lyon county. Will the citizens OF
this county for a moment consider
the claims of any other man? this
is the question. From what we can
learn there will be no opposition in
this precinct. There will be two
tickets at the primaries on Wednes-
dav next. both with the same head
for Governor. So far as DR.. Hazlett
is concerned, he is out of the fight in
this precinct. Even his most san
guine friends do not for moment
think of carrying this place for him.
Some, it is true, think he will carry
Dayton precinct, also Eureka Mill;
vet that is doubtful. 1t is perfectly
safe to give this county to Stevenson.
With Silver City, s; Wadsworth, /;
Sutro, 4; and Churchill, 2, there
can be no doubt of the final result,
and it is more than likely Dayton
will give Stevenson delegation.
The County Central Committee of
Douglas county have selected Haines
men for delegates; two out of three
of the delegation will vote for Ste
venson, after a complimentary vote
to Haines. This almost ensures the
nomination of Hon. C. C. Stevenson
for the Republican candidate for
Governor. With him at the head of
the State ticket, the Republicans
will march along to victory.
