SILVER CENTRAL CONSOLIDATED
New main shaft down $50 feet; two
compartments, timbered; contract
let to sink so feet deeper, where first
station will be made; it is thought
the ledge will be struck at that
depth, if not will drift west. The
shaft has been run through extreme
ly hard rock, with streaks of white
quartz with signs of mineral, but
perfectly dry, no water running in.
1t is thought that the shaft can be
sunk much deeper without water
interfering, as the Daney on the
south, and kossuth on the north
west have their shafts down deeper
thereby draining the Silver Central.
1t is the intention of the Company
to erect steam hosting works dur
ing the Summer, or as soon as the
200-ioot level is opened sufficiently
to begin hoisting ore. Certainly this
mine is eligibly located, and will, at
no distant day, command a good
figure on the Board.

ARRESTED Davis was !

ARREsTED.--Benjamin Davis was
arrested yesterday morning between
and o'clock in the Red Jacket
Tunnel, on complaint of James
Blackburn, by Deputy Sheriff Mil
Ter. From the complaint we learn
that Davis has been in the habit
lately of pilfering the timbers of the
Red Jacket mine, and using the
same for fuel in his cabin, which
consisted of a tunnel in the side of a
mountain situated hard by. Re
mains of the timbers were found in
the tunnel at the time Davis was ar
rested. Yesterday afternoon Davis
was taken before Justice Gould for
examination. He demanded an at
torney, and none being at hand, the
case was postponed till this morn
ing, when the State as we'll as the
defendant will be represented by
counsel.

SANTIAGO MINE. - Retimbering
old shaft, situated on the east side
of the track of the Virginia and
Truckee Railroad started cross
cut to ledge after drifting 80 feet,
will drift on ledge l 800 or 1900
feet. The advantages of opening
up this shaft are that the mine can
be worked to better advantage
and much more economically. SUI
perintendent Kallmes is now work
ing day and night and expects soon
to be able to begin taking out ore
for the mill. At present he is
crushing ore from the Cosmopoli-
tan on contract. The Santiago is
one of the Oldest located mines in
this district, and has yielded very
rich milling ore in sufficient guam
titles to make the mine self-sustain-
ing.

ALMOST A MURDER. Satur-
day evening last man living in
the southern part of the county
went home drunk, and upon his
arrival at his residence proceeded
to room in which loaded gun
stood, and taking it up told his
wife he would shoot her. She sup
posing the weapon unloaded, and
thinking il a joke on his part,
went up and taking the gun out OF
his hands said she did not like
being shot at, but would try it on
him and see how he would like it.
She raised the gun to her shoulder,
aimed it at her husband and pulled
the trigger, which discharged a
load of buckshot in the wall in one
corner of the room without hurting
him. Fortunately the act of pull
ing the trigger caused the gun to
swerve from the aim she had taken,
and thus saved her husbands life.

JUDGE clLF!.LAN AND THE ANTs-MO-
MONoPOllSTS.

The secret Of the intense anxiety for
the election Of Judge Gilfllan, nantes
ted by certain newspapers in the pay Of
railroads, and By few railroad attor-
neys. is At last becoming too apparent TO
deceive any one and must react to bis
prejudice.
We learn that about the first decision
in which Judge Gilfllan joined. after bis
appointment to the Supreme Bench. re-
lieved the land-gra-t railroads from all
local taxation, on the astounding as.
sumption that the Territorial Legislature
had power to bind. and did bind, the fu

ations the pitiful sum OF three per cent
upon their gress receipts. in lieu Of Al
taxes OF every kind and description.
We now learn, that slnce his last ap

another decision, (not yet published, ]

gag" who does not probably know the
difference between corn-stalks and no
tato vines, setting up to instruct the far
mers in husbandry! And mark the
easy assurance, the sublime independ-
ence, with which he tells them what to
do. He thinks they are equal to their
''home duties" That probably means
setting the hens. and feeding. the pigs.
But for them to aspire to the ordinary
privileges Of citizens, to memorialize
Congress, to question the right Of the
railroad companies to absorb their prof
its in extortionate transportation, or of
the owners of patents. to charge them
four times the cost of an implement,
this were rank treason and heresy,
which, to say the least, readers them
simply ridiculous.

And all this contemptuous TRADE is q

is very much as if the oxen should

at their own request. and for the benefit
Of their own property, By the decision
first alluded to the roads have already
been saved hundreds Of thousands Of
dollars, as the per centage on their gross
receipts SO, far, has not equalled one
third of what the State tax alone, would
have amounted to on their property.
What they may gain by the last decis-
ion cannot of course be estimated, al
though we are informed that the saving
in the one case decided, amounted to
some twenty thousand dollars. No won
der then, that Judge Gilfllan is the pet
of the railroad magnates.
They cannot afford to risk a reversal
of these most extraordinary and uncon-
stitutional decisions by any change in
the personnel of the Supreme Court,
and hence their anxiety for the contin-
uance of Judge Gilfillan in his present
position.
We much mistake the temper of this
people, if these decisions, when they be-
come fully understood, do not array
against Judge Gilfil Ian, every anti-rho-
nopolist, and indeed every tax payer in the
State, who desires taxes to he equal and
to be levied according to the principle, de-
clared in the State Constitution, and who
denies the right of petty Territorial
Legislature, which in no legal sense
represents the Sovereignty, to barter
away or in any manner place beyond the
control of the future State the funda
mental prerogative Of regulating the
taxation of all the property for the sup
port of the government If there be on,

causes. Kither, first, from the increased
