EDITOR SILVER STATE: Since my
last some things have turned up here
which deserve attention. The Elko
folks are straining every nerve to Sc
cure the trade of this point end section
of country surrounding it-Tuscarora,
Bull Run, Mountain City, and as far
north as Sonth Mountain, Idaho.
Smith Vandrillen has got the mail con-
tract for two years to come, and is run
ming tri-weekly line of coaches from
Elko. Woodruff Il Ennor yesterday
put on daily line of x-horse coaches,
with Wells, Fargo d. Co. express, and
passengers. They appear to mean
business. The Elko folks also have
quite lot of hands improving the
road from this place to that town.
The Battle Mountain fast freight line
runs in only once week, and then
only to M Get the requirements of Bat
tie Mountain trade, which now is only
bagatelle here. think
wINNEMUcCA COULD GET THE TRADE
Did they but exercise little energy.
By bridging the Owyhee above Pow
ers' good grade can be obtained, and
seven miles of distance saved on the
Winnemucca road. Other places may
be shortened, and there could be good
road got in here with distance not to
exceed ninety five miles.
MANY STRANGERS
Are arriving IN town every day to see
the mines, and work on them goes
bravely on Many Winnemuccans are
here and are getting lots and entering
into business. Thomas Taswell and
partner opened their place yerterday
on the main street of the place, and
have good prospect of success. Free
man has not got his place opened yet,
but understand will have it running
in few days. He has fine location.
There are great many people who are
coming in here every day for work,
but the developments are not far
enough advanced yet to give every in
quirer labor as he demands.
The restaurants are thronged to over,
flowing. The Cornucopia eating house
has the lead. Mr.. Walsh knows how
to keep it.
Every day the Leopard develops bet
ter and better, and those well posted
in the matter inform me that when
they get the new mill running they will
be able to ship over
oNE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS
WORTH OF BULLION PER MONTH,
Over million per year. Other mines
will be yielding shortly. The Hussey
Company are near their ledge now. and
if appearances fail not, she will create
quite a stir in the stock market, at
least. The Monarch is pressing his
case and will be heard from in San
Francisco in the course OF the next ten
, days. Judge Sinclair goes below to-
morrow. Somebody must be badly de-
cieved, or this is going to be good
camp-not a mushroom, but perma-
nent. The only fear is that it may be
overdone by outside pressure-let it
have its natural growth and all will be
right. 5. M. II.

BURIAL. - The funeral of Mrs.
Opley, whose sudden death at Rye
Patch was announced yesterday, took
place last night after the arrival of the
10 clock train from the west. In the
dead hours of night the remains, &C
companied by friends of the deceased,
were taken to the burying ground west
of the river. where the funeral services
of the Methodist Episcopal Church
were read and a brief sermon was
preached by kev. Mr.. Hinkle. and the
body was consigned to its last resting
place. Only few days ago deceased
was in town looking the picture of
health. True it is that Z" In the midst

neck. The only very clear impression
which followed the blow with the ham

heaviness in the head. 1t seemed To
me that my head was larger and heav-
Ter on my shoulders than the great bell
of Notre Dame. At the same time |

around me. Then felt extremely cold
at my lower extremities, and at the
same time an acute, terrible pain in my
neck, which was produced by the rope,
which cat my skin and sawed my veins.
Then l felt nothing. Evidently this
was the moment when my good
aunt Cecil entered my room and cut me
down.

ARRANGING WITH CREDITORS. Judge
Berry, President of the Humboldt Mill
and Mining Company, is in town ar
ranging with the creditors of the COM
pany so as to resume work at the mine
and mill. He does not apprehend
much difficulty in making terms, and if
successful the works will start in q few
days-probably next Monday. The
greater part of the labor expended On
the mine this summer has been for the
purpose of opening and developing the
lead, and the condition of the mine at
present is such that more ore
can be extracted by ten min
ers than has heretofore been done
by twice that number. The ledge
in the lower levels is looking well, and
there is ore enough available to pay off
the entire Indebtedness of the company.
All the work performed so far has been
done without levying an assessment on
the stockholders; and considering the
fact that shafts had to be run and levels
opened, the expense incurred above
what was realized from ore extracted.
has been trifing. 1t is difficult mat
ter to open a mine without assessing
the stockholders, and we believe that
feat was never accomplished on the
Comstock. The suspension of opera
tons at the mill and mine has thrown
several persons out of employment.
and it is hoped that the affairs of the
company will be arranged to-day. so
that work may be resumed immediately.

A Chinaman mt the Bottom OF the
Humboldt--The Body Recovered
a Chinese Wake.

Last evening about o'clock four or
five Chinemen went into the river at a
point above Pat. Bells residence for
the purpose of having swim. They
sported around in the water for while,
all being able to swim, until one of them
ventured into the strong current near
bend in the river, and sank in twelve
feet of water to rise no more alive. His
companions were incapable of render
ing him any assistance, or else too
cowardly to venture into the deep and
strong current, and when they dis
covered that he was drowned came to
town and notified the whites of the
fact, and at the same time offered
$25 reward for the recovery of the
body Several white men and Naches
and another Indian went with the Chi
namen, and had the place where the
Chinaman went under pointed ont to
them. The river was dragged and the
body discovered, and the Piute Prince
and his dusky subject made several at
tempts to bring it to the surface, but
failed. Hobart Luther, who is an ex-
perienced swimmer, then dove to the
bottom and came to the surface with
the Chinaman's queue in his hand,
and triumphantly shouted at the top of
his voice, boys, I've got him y The
Cinnamon brought the body to town
and laid it out on the sidewalk in front
of one of their houses. Late in the
evening the corpse was surrounded with
papers covered with Chinese characters,
and heathenish ceremonies were per-
formed in the vicinity. There was bran
dy slipping and pow-wowingi in the house
until late hour, and probably the
wake was kept up all night.

varies these iranencies 20 attain his
purposes. In its highest culture, stock
raising has become alearned profession;
and this Is unavoidable, so long as ma
ture makes a difference between a prin-
ciple known and respected in organic
life, and the same principle unknown
and disregarded through ignorance.
The simple fact of there being a large
and growing foreign demand for our
best guadrupeds viii leadto the more
careful study of both animal and vege-
table physiology. Among the learned,
biology is making rapid progress. To
buy the hest blood at high prices, with
insufficient professional attainments to
prevent deterioration, may be the pre-
cursor of loss and discredit. We de-
sire TO see Southern prosperity, not
ephemeral and speculative, but stand
like granite mountain on the most
enduring basis Truth is the central
force of al, improvement; error the
blaze of false ghts which, when follow
ed, lead inevitably to disaster.

mAKING No MONEY.

While the Eastern cotton manufac-
turers are suffering seriously from the
general depression of business, the
mills here and at Augusta, Columbus
and other Southern points are also
feeling its effects to a very noticeable
degree. The Augusta Factory, which
has been paying regularly since the
war dividends of twenty per cent, and
whose stock has sold for more than
$500 per share, has been compelled 10
reduce its dividends first to sixteen per
cent, then 70 twelve per cent, and en-
Wednesday Of last week the board
oogld only authorize a dividend of
eight per cent. Its gross earnings for
the past six months are stated in the
report at $50, 900. while It's expense ac-
count, taxes, interests, repairs, and
dividends amount to So, 900.
L. is true the company has a
surplus of S234,OOO invested in a
new mill, which really represents the
profits made by the corporation since
it has been doing business, in addition
to the enormous dividends directly paid
to the stockholders, and it is equally rs
true that, with a capital stock of $780,
900, the company has a property which
is valued at S83S,OOO These figures
show that the corporation is in a pros
porous condition, but they also show
that it has not found much profit in
manufacturing during the past twelve
months. Grauiteville Factory, which
has been paying quarterly dividends of
four per cent, has reduced them to two
per cent. This factory is also in a
Furnishing condition as its recent re-
ports have shown, but it cannot pay
dividends which it does not earn. The
Langley Factory, the youngest Of three,
but one which has been most skillfully
and successfully managed nee it com.
menced operations, takes the bull by
the horns and lacOnically announces
that No dividend has been declared by
the Langley Manufacturing Company
for the past quarter as cotton manu-
featuring has been Improbable. D."

nlau that could be devised, and there
is no reason why the currency issued
by the government IN the form of
treasury notes should be less valuable
than the present currency, or any
other paper currency. or Why 1t should
not as readily become convertible with
god as the national bank notes. In
deed the fact that It will be a consider
able wing 10 those who use 1t, when
compared with the present bank Cur
rency, may furnish a reason why 1t
will be nearer TO a gold standard.
Tie plan Of the Ohio Democracy is
no effort to initiate, while it is an effort
to avoid the evils Of contraction. We
are not now suffering from want OF
currency, but 10 one viii say the cur
rency is inflated. 1t is sufficient for
the wants of trade at present, but that
is no reason why it should be below
that standard Of suffieiency. We are
suffering moro now from Oyer-trading,
over-speculstion, wild schemes, ex-
travagant reaching out of capital after
new enterprises aud their total collapse,
the accumulation Of the profits that
should accrue to the general masses of
the producing population, into the
hands Of a few and those mainly in the
East where they are SO ready to de-
mand specie payment. We have been
spending more than we have produced,
over trading and reaching too far, I'M
til a multitude of little deficiencies
have made up great deficiency, yor-
tex which has swallowed up
all prosperity. We have been,
North and South, blindly keeping up
class of bloated home manufacturers
simply forthe luxury of having them,
until we have ruined ourselves and well
nigh ruined the largest nuc,ber of even
the protected. To retrieve our loss and
remedy these evils, we need to labor
more, to produce more, to spend less,
to reform the unnatural protection sys-
TEN, that Is to sweep It, incidental PIC
lection and all, from the face of our
statute books, to reduce expenditures
of the government, reform its civil SER
vice, restore the South to the list Of
! producers ard the roll OF prosperous
States, by according full political priv
! ileges, and then DO as the Ohio plat
form proposes: Keep the currency up
10 an amount sufficient for the wants
of the country, ssand no more, and let

and they viii come all the sooner in

THE BLACK HILLS BUBBLE.

Prof. Jenney has sent to the Interior
Department later and fuller report
confirming his first dispatch, IN which
~ stated that nothing had been dis.
covered that would warrant extensive
mining operations in the Black HillF.
He says the best dirt does rot average
one cent and a quarter to the pan,
which is altogether a different story
from the sensational reports hereto
fore pubTshek. Gold has certainly
been found in the Hills, but only in
very small quantities and over a very
large area of country.
1t Is probable, however, that the
Professor unfavOraJle report viii have
very little effect in dsterring parties
from going to the Black Hills who have
decided to try their fortunes there. In
the present stagnation of business
throughout the country there are
thousands of men whose hopeless fnan-
cial condition renders them easy VIC
tins to the gold fever, as well
as certain restless element
who arc always ready for a change that
involves excitement and adventure. Be
sides, the impression has gone abroad
that ring Of Government officials has
been formed at Washington to gobbls
the best mining localities before the
general rush for the Hills begins, aud
very little confidence Is placed on re-
ports that are sent there to be re-
vamped for publication.

GERMANY,s THROrFLED PRESS


The publishing Of newspapers within
the domains of Prince Bismarck has Its
occasional difficulties. There is news
paper in Posen called the KTyer POz.
RdHski, edited by a man named GTusc-
zynsky. We are aware that a man
named Grusczynsky, who runs a paper
called the Kuryer POzHdHski, is not en-
titled to much sympathy, but we pro-
pose to tell his simple story. Prince
Bismark took exception to some remark
Of the Kuryer, and had it fined. The
proprietor, taking refuge in the support
Of his townsmen, opened a subscription
for the payment Of the fine. The money
came IN from the sympathizing citizens
To the extent Of 476 marks, when the
government again stepped in. The
proprietOrs Of the paper were fined $50
marks or forty days imprisonment for
opening the subscription, and the 476
marks Of the coniding citizens were
confscated by the government without
further proceedings. Germany is IN
dOubtedly the freest country on the
globe; but the printing of newspapers
there, as We have said, has its difficult
ties.

LIGHT ON THE FINANCES.

We copy this morning from the
CIarksriIIe TsJpcc3 Leaf IN article which
we regard as one Of the ablest and
soundest on the currency question that
has yet appeared in the Tennessee
press. The temperate tone in which
1t is couched is eminently commend
able as evincing the spirit Of
calmness aud moderation with
which such issues should be
discussed. Among the Democracy Of
this State, there ext It's the same DIFF
ferences as to financial views that lave
recently been developed elsewhere. The
people will do some hard thinking on
this score before the next Presidential
canvass. They need all the light that
can be brought to bear upon what now
promises to be one Of the leading ques-
tons, if not the question, at
that contest. Our own views are Il g
same that the UNION AND AHEEICAN
has consistently maintained from the
first day Of its publication. The priu-
ciples upon which we believe those
views to be based are as eternal and
Interchangeable as the laws Of IA
ture themselves. A few mOdifiCa.

THE Bonner suggests a special ses-
sion Of the General Assembly as Ten
nessee's only way out of her present
dilemma. We fear the remedy might
prove worse than the disease. It would
cost considerably more than the differ
ence between seven and nine per cent.
interest on the amount required to take
up our July coupons The latter rate
is, we believe, what the Wall street
sealpers ask. But, for that matter, we
would stop at nothing to wipe the blot
from our escutcheon. Let it be a
special session, anything to re-
Heve us from the disgracefui attitude
in which We now stand before the
