statistics of Cigars and Tobacco.

From the advance sheets of the
yearly official report of the tobacco
trade,.th following interesting statis-
ties have been gathered. The report
issfor the fiscal year ending June; 30,
1874, and will be completed about
March 1. There was exported from
the United States, of native leaf tobac-
CO, 3lS,097 ,S04 pounds, amounting IN
value to $50, 1893, ISL. During the same
time there was imported into United
States, and entered for consumption,
9.2l3,860 pounds of leaf tobacco, for
use in the manufacture of cigars. and
$1,000 pounds of stemmed, or prepared
tobacco amounting together in value
to So, 332,5&S Al. During the same
time there was imported into the Uni
ted States, and entered for consumpt-
ion, S45,774 pounds of cigars. or, at an
average of eleven pounds to thous
and, 76.8S0,000 cigars amounting in
value to $3,030,62S 70. In the period
there were manufactured in the Uni
ted States, of foreign and domestic to-
bacco, and tax paid, 1,7S0, 1861 900 Gig
airs. Allowing thirty pounds oftobac
co for every / ,000clgars manufactured,
there was used SO, 42S $50 pounds of
foreign and domestic leaf tobacco in
the manufacture of cigars in the Uni
ted States: The comparison shows
there were twenty three domestic Gig
ars manufactured in the United States,
and the tax thereon paid, for every
cigar that was imported and paid duty
during the same time. A close scru-
tiny reveals the astounding fact that
the average number of cigars smoked
in the United States during each TWEEN
ty-four hours is 5,16S,000 The fol-
lowing amounts of duty and taxes on

OF the cost of government in this
country, Gov. Tilden says:
1T cannot be questioned that much
too large portion of the whole net
earnings of industry, and of the whole
net income of society, is taken for the
purpose of carrying on government in
this country. The burden could more
easily be borne when values were high,
and were ascending. AS they recede
toward their former level, the taxes
consume larger quantity of the pro-
ducts which have to be sold in order
to pay them. They weigh with a con-
stantly increasing severity upon all
business and upon all classes. They
shrivel up more and more the earnings
of labor. This condition of things
ought to admonish US, in our respect
i've spheres, to be as abstinent as pos
sible in appropriations for public ex-
penditures. If the cost of govern
ment in our country were reduced, as
it ought to be, one third, it would still
be larger than a few years ago, taking
account of the prices of the products,
which, in order to pay the cost. we are
compelled to convert into money.

THE PINE NUT SEASON.
The Piute Harvest Commenced =
Many Bucks and squaws gone ia
The Mountains.

The Ibutt baFStbt NOEf11fteUGcA
Many Bucks and squaws gone to
The Mountains.
There has been general thinning
ont of the Piutes, who, during the hot
weather congregated on the shady
side of buildings, and passed the days
playing poker, though not exactly ac-
cording to the rules laid down for the
government of the game 10y General
Schenck, our minister at the Court of
st. james. This is busy season Of
the wear with those of them who are
industriously inclined, as the pine-nuts
are ripe aud must be gathered before
the burrs open and the nuts fall to the
ground. The great harvest fields are
in the southern part of the county, in
Table Mountain and the East Range,
where the pine forests have been un-
disturbed By the pale faces, being too
remote from quartz mills and the rail-
road to make the wood available for
fnel. Once in two years the nut crop
is abundant, and in early days was tbs
main reliance of the Indians for winter
supplies. The work oftgathering them
- quite tedious; bu4 the patient
squaws put in full time during the har-
vest, and accumulate many sacks full.
,.rli@A tho
nuts is pulled from the tree aud roasted,
the oil or turpentine in the cone being
sufficient to partially burn them. This
opens the layers, underneath which the
nuts lie concealed, and from which
process is completed. A white man
could not gather a sackful in month
by working ten hours a day; but the
Indians are skilled in the art, and an
industrious squaw eau gather several
hundred pounds in u few weeks. A
few years ago nuts were READILY eE-
changed by the indians for their bulk
in flour, bat recently the price has been
raised in consequence of the demand
created by the whites FOR the article.
In few weeks pine-nuts will be mer-
chata5le commodity in the market, as
the improvident ned man disposes of
hem the moment he finds cash pur-
chaser, aud the whites prefer~theni to
anany of the imported nuts in the
stores.

A LITTLE MONOPOLY.
STAR CRY, August 20, 1875.

STAR CITY, August 20, 1875.
Ed. sILvkn rArE.-seeing that your
paper has been exposing mining swim
diers, corruption and monopoies, /
hope you, will allow me space to expose
NOTTINGHAM MONOPOLY
Now carried on in Star District. 1t is
a well known fact among miners that a
certain mine III this district has been
worked and monopolized by one family
for number of years, and unluckily
for miners hunting a job the family
proves TO be more numerous than
Grants. When more miners are
wanted, the head of the family send for
members of it to California, and keep
places for others until they arrived
from Europe. This was not SO bad.
but now one comes from Asia. The
mine controlled by this family, by vir-
tue OF member of it being foreman, is
divided into two parts. the upper aud
lower workings. The upper part is
worked on day work and the lower by
contract.
TEE MEMBERS OF THE FAMILY
Would not work with Chinese in the
upper works BY the day. but in the
lower workings there can be seen any
day, something in the shape of white
man standing behind and beating
drill for an opium smoking Chinaman.
Not to my knowledge has capitalists
gone SO far as to insult white man by
giving him Chinaman for a partner,
yet this family does so on contract
| works.
woBKINGMFY,
Is it any wonder capitalists will intro
duce cheap labor in the mines. when
white miners do so to monooolize the
contract business and day work in q
mine? There is loud talk OF unciyil
demonstrations, but my advice is to let
them alone; shun them as you would
rattlesnake, and let them associate
with the opium-scented Monaghan they
prefer to white men. / would here
state before | close that there is no ex-
cuse for employing Cinnamon on the
contract. as it is an unexceptionably
good one, and the family who hold it
could well afford to pay white men, but
mans inhumanity to man makes
countless thousands mourn"
