La Creme de la Creme.

We have received no II of this
musical monthly, and its contents ex-
coed, if any thing, those of the previ-
Gus numbers. 1t is collection of the
very best music for advanced players.
1t is the best thing of the kind issued,
and is destined to become one Of the
most popular musical publications in
America, for it will immediately COM
mand the attention and admiration of
all skillful musicians. Each number
contains about two dollars worth of
music. 1t is published by ]. L.
Peters, 500 Broadway. The price is
four dollars a year, or fifty cents a
number.

maud attention, and lie position be
found difficult to overthrow. This cx-
preston Of sentiment was called out
by the recent appointment OF Senator
Jones rs member OF the Senate COM
mittee on Mines and Mining:
Nevada has reason for congratula-
ton that q Senator who Is versed In
the matter upon which he Is required
to give an opinion, 10 u with which

would still more have reason for fsllci-
tation II we could double the team
and send a man TO assist Mr.. Jones Ia
the Senate whose means and position
will render him Inaccessible to any
ordinary temptation. This Is what we
want. aud probably should secure II
Mr.. Sharon should be selected as Mr..
Jones' coadjutor. We would then
have n heavy team, neither one OF
which would DO liable to se accused Of
any petty corruption. They are both
wealthy men, aud that wealth has
been acquired by their own skill and
exertlons, and Is largely Invested In
the mining enterprise Of tins State /;
and they are likely to feel as quickly
AZ any one the sncroachments with
which n blunder-headed Eastern
Congressman Il liable TO attack the
hardly won rights of our miners. We
all know that with some few excep-
tons, this country Is looked upon as a

tect their Interests. Under existing

GOLD HILL, MONDAY. APRIL 20. 1874
COMING OVER on THE LORDS SIDE.

We have seen In oar State exchanges
much criticism Of the course Of our
Congressman, Mr.. Kendall. Tie Gold
Hill NEWS has, perhaps, As strongly
as any journal Of the State, criticised
his actions This was not asne In n
spirit Of captiousnsss but because we
deemed him deserving Of csnsure
when the honorable gentleman was In
Virginia City last Spring. we politely
asked from him an explanation OF his
vote upon the salary grab. We thought
It due both to himself and his constitu-
cnts that the motives which astuated
him In deceiving the latter and break
ing faith herewith should DO made
public. We offered him the use Of our
columns for that purpose, but In no
manner did Mr.. Kendall publicly al
lude to the subject while In Nevada.
As matter Of course, deeming his ac-
ton both In Washington aud In Neva-
da rcprehensible and in~excusablc, we
condemned him. and that In no mild
language, for we believe that blame as
we'll as praise should be unstinted
whom deserved, aud at all times out
spoken.
With this Idea, We have not been
chary Of commencing Nj. kendalrs
late action on the Sutro Tunnel amend.
ment to Senate Bill No. 10. We have
said that his action in that matter went
far toward making amends for hispre-
vious attitude. We have eulogiled
both tho sentiments he uttered, the
attitude he assumed, and the efforts he
made. Not that we think Mr.. ken-
dali did more than hls duty In oppo-
sing the schemes Of Adolph Sutro, but
because he did hls duty and lif IL must
be added) because from his previous
acts we had not expected him to take
the position no so ably ana vigorously
maintained and moreover, because II
Is rare la these days to ilnd n Con-
gresham who does his duty. Mr.. Ken
dali Is a Democrat; l.. O., he was Oh
ected by the Democratic party q ssueh,
aided. however, by a large number OF
Republican votes. But we are fast In
clining to tho belief that Mr.. Kendall,
with the Eureka SenttRel editor and
several other heretofore prominent and
distinguished Democrats, are "cOming
ovcr oil the Lords side" Mr.. Kendall
was one out OF barely i've Democratic
members OF Congress who voted for
the Republican measure introduced by
MI. NcCrary Of Iowa, to regulate III
ter-State Commerce upon railroads.
This, rs we have heretofore shown, Is
antagonlstic to Democratic doctrine
and p~rccedents from the famous ies-
olutions of 1898. to the beginning Of
tho late war. We are glad that the
gentlemen referred to, by the process
ses OF their own reason aud the knowl-
edge gained by wide observation. have
come to such sensible conclusions. 1t
. Is our firm belief that but little re-
mains to DO done ere they will be
ready to stand In for Republican prin-
ciples. This Is what, In these times,
IL required to give the State and
Nation good Representatives and good
government.

An accident occurred yesterday
afternoon at about o o'clock In the
Dunderberg mine, located on Prospect
mountain, whereby a man named John
Buckingham met with serious Injury.
He was engaged In blasting In tho
lower portion Of the mine. and, hav.
Ing placed two cartridges IN proper
position, retired to safe distance until
the explosion had taken place, which
shortly followed but, 1t appears that
but one OF the cartridges had performed
Its work, the othor, for some unex-
planned cause. had not exploded, and
Just as Buckingham was about pro.
ceedlng to his work 1t went of, the
flying rocks striking him with fall
force about the head and face, cutting
him badly. Tho most serious wounds
are a fracture OF the skull and q deep
cut OIL tho forehead. His hair and
eyebrows were badly slnged by the
burning powder and he had a very
narrow escape from losing his eye
sight. Word was Immediately sent to
town and DIR. j. Lukens dispatched to
attend the injured 4 The doctor
returned about ten o'clock last night
aud reports the man In n fair way Of
recovery.
Col. Lewis, OF the Pancake coal
mine, arrived In town last evening,
bringing with him specimens Of coal
from the mine. which had been con-
verted Into coke. The piece examln.
ed by US appears the anne rs produced
In other places, and will doubtless
meet the requirements Of the furnaces.
Ifa sufficient quantity Of coal, from
which the extraneous matter \ be
extracted by charring, Is obtainable
from this mine, the Pancake Company
will prove n very profitable enter
prise, both to the owners aud the
mines, rs the freight would be consld-
erably decreased, amounting to almost
nothing, when compared to railroad
and teaming charges IN the supply
coming from Pittsburg, San Francisco
aud other places. The mine Is ut

level not yet reached. Coal OF q supe-
