ANOTHER COAL MINE.

The resources of Lyon county are
only partially known, but little pros
pecting having been done owing to
the great attractions elsewhere. For
years the existence of coal in Ell Do
RADIO Canon and other parts of the
county have been known, but until
quite recently there has been but
little work of development. Some
weeks since we mentioned the Black
Diamond Coal Mine, situated in
Palmyra District, some nine miles
southeast of Dayton, since which
time there has been more stir in the
matter. The Virginia City Coal Com
pany have been prosecuting work
for some months, on their mine stu
ated about twelve miles northwest Of
Dayton, in Ell Dorado Canon, with
the most encouraging results. They
have now we'll defined ledge or
strata of coal over six feet thick.
The coal taken from this mine is of
the best quality, having been tested
in several furnaces: is free of clink-
ers, does not adhere to the CRATES,
and leaves a white ash. Within a
day or two Geo. Reed, Park. Barnes,
and Peter Crane, of Dayton, located
200 acres of mineral land, lying
about two miles from that town in
FL Dorado Canon, that promises to
be a solid bed of coal. In time, coal
must be the chief article of fuel in
this part of Nevada. Already wood
is getting scarce, and commands very
high prices from Sl4 to SIG per
cordl, and has to be brought many
miles to market. In consequence,
only high grade ores can be reduced
remuneratively in the mills, but
when our coal mines are producing,
fuel will be much cheaper, hence
ores of all grades can be worked, and
the country be correspondingly
prosperous. We look forward to the
day when the coal fields of this
county will supply fuel for the mills
and hosting works of Storey county,
and thousands of men will be en-
ployed in its extraction.

FATAL ACCIDENTAL young man
by the name of Joseph Croker,
while at work in the Crown Point
mine, at about o'clock yesterday
morning, met with an accident
which resulted fatally. He was at
work at the time on platform over
a chute, and by some misstep slip
ped and fell off, landing at the bot
tom of the chute, distance of TWO
hundred feet. When picked up he
was found to be still alive. though
in an insensible condition. His
backbone was broken by the fall,
and he was otherwise horribly bat
tered up. He lived near two hours,
and retained consciousness until
within few moments of his death.
He was % years of age, and native
of Cornwall.

ACCIDENr.-At about IL O'Clock
yesterday, a man by the name OF
Angelo, Swede, was badly mangled
by being caught in the shafting OF
Petaluma mill, around which he re-
volved three or four times. His
right arm was badly fractured and
his nose broken. Drs. Hall and
Kirby, who were summoned to his
assistance, are of the opinion that
the arm will have to be ampptated
in order to save his life.

To CANDIDATEs.-Only a very few
days will elapse before the meeting
of the County Convention. Now is

ORE SHIPMENT.-We are indebted
to j. w. Cohen, the gentlemanly
telegraph operator at the depot in
Gold Hill, says the Chronicle, for the
following statement of the amount OF
ore, shipped from mines on the
Comstock, over the Virginia and
Truckee Railroad, during the month
of August: 3.2ll car loads, which,
at an average Of eight tons to car,
would aggregate 25,6sS tons, being
about 800 tons a day, including
Sundays.

A SURE THING.-When a man
stops advertising, it is well to set
him down as not able to compete in
business. 1t is safe to say there is
something wrong in the neighbor-
hood. Either he sells too high, or
does not want the trade of the COM
munity in which he exists, When
YOU come in contact with such a
man, see that you are not swindled
in some way, either through short
weights or overcharges. 1t is better
to visit a man who invites your
trade, than to force it upon one who
fails to advertise. ....

THAT NUISANCE AaAIN.-We are
sorry to be compelled to state that
that cesspool on Main street has not
been attended to. Property holders
should see to it that the sewers in
front of their dwellings and places OF
business are kept in repair. The
repair of the sewer in question would
cost mere trifle if all the property
holders in the block were to join in
the expense, and would enhance the
value of their real estate ten times
the amount. If they are unable tc
repair it, let them take upa subscrip-
ton; we know several who will
subscribe mite to help them out.

GooD.-A man approached one of
the aspirants for the United States
Senate in Virginia City, day or

barber shop. Our tonsorial friend
was informed that ne and his barber
shop could go to hi, together with
their influence. Such is life.

TuEPROGRESS OF LOCALOprlON
From the Sacramento Record, May 26.l

The result of the local option cleo
tj,n in Santa Cruz, where the no-li-
cense party carried the day by a small
majority, will stimulate the energies of
! the temperance agitators throughout
the State. At Santa Cruz it seems to
be conceded that the appeals and per-
| SliasionS OF the women were the most
powerful agents, and it is scarcely
4 possible to OvereStiinatc their influence
/ when we remember that they had
against them not only the organized
forces of the saloon n-kccpcrs-alwavs a
\ formidable power-but the natural and
h inevitable tendency TO revolt against
innovations upon long settled customs.
which, perhaps even more than con-
Viction, sways men under such cir
cunlstances. This is the first really
important victory for the no-license
party, and OF course they will push
the work all the harder for it. The
next considerable contest will take
place in Oakland, we believe on the
3otk OF this north, and alreadya Il bitter
controversy is in progress. We note
that Father King, Catholic priest.
spoke Oh Sunday agai lSt the no-li-
cense system, expressing the opinion
Il II ii would result i'll even more in

cellse plan assert that under the law
no man can invite a friend to take a
glass of wine in his own house, be-
cause it is provided that nobody shall
sell sor give away" less than five GAL
l,ns of liquor or wine at any time.
The no-llcen>e people ON their side
hold that this is an unjuStifablc con-
sIruction of the law, though perhaps ii
would he more consistent if they We're
to justify that Interpretation, and af-
firm the propriety of such prohibi-
ton. II is yet too early to fores see " hat
the limits of the movement will be,
bat the indications thus far are that it
will include all but the largest towns in
the State. Should that be the case, it is
To be feared that the large towns will
be placed i'll a peculiar position. In

now driving all the irrcclailnable
drunkards from the u'skirts inward
to Il common center, and when they
have completed their work the middle
