VARYvILLE, July 26, 1875.

EDITOR SILVER STATE: see in one of
your daily issues that sale of the In
dependent mine has been consnmma-
ted = deed recorded; price, $4,000.
We have not as yet seen any of the
money in Varyville. Judge Green in
formed me this morning that he and
Hyatt were now waiting for their share
of the aforesaid $4,000 to be handed
over, when they would
AGAIN SHOULDER THE PICK
And other mining implements, and
commence the development of another
rich mine they have had in keeping
for another chance. The pipe for the
Florence mill is laid; the new wheel is
in, and the mill is now running with
four stamps night and day. This is
quite an improvement on the past.
The ore now being taken ont of the
Badger mine is reported far richer than
any previously taken out of the claim.
Colonel Vary is running his arastra
but has closed his boarding house.
The irrepressible Captain Jack Kemp is
determined to
BRING THE CAMP OUT THIS FALL.
He has succeeded in getting mine of
sufficient size and richness to keep an
arastra running at least twelve hours
each day. propelled by a one eyed mule,
which he is low negotiating for. For
the welfare Of the camp, as well rs for
the individual interest of the aforesaid
irrepresslble Kemp, we as in duty
bound will ever pray.
The ranchmen in this vicinity have
not been able to cut more than one. half,
and in some instances not more than
one-third the amount of hay that wss
put up last year. and but little barley
will be harvested by any of the ranch
men save for hay.
Mr.. Derby has employed an 8-mule
team to naul
LUMBER FROM SURPRISE VALLEY
To his ranch on Leonard Greek for the
next three or four months, and has, /
am informed, let the contract for the
building Of large dwelling house, to
be completed this fall.
Keating' toll-road is now in passable
condition, bat not yet completed.
The water in Bartlett Creek is now
lower than ever before known.
/ sometimes think the name of Vary
vile should be changed to Snappsburg,
for were it not for Joe Snapp We would
never get letter or paper, and our
camp would need no name. 1t is a
shame aud an injustice that we cannot
have a mail here at least once week.
Were I citizen of the State perma-
nently. / would hold all
THE NEVADA REPRESENTATIVES
In Congress responsible for our mis-
fortunes in mail facilities. II two SEN
ators, both millionaires, and hand
some Representative. all of the Admin
istration persuasion, have not influence
sufficient with the powers that be to get
a little mail service to part of their
constituency, situated as we are in
Varyville, and on a route established
for the last two years, the Administra-
ton must certainly intend extreme
economy, or care but little for the
wishes of their sagebrush supporters.
Maybe, however, neither Jones, Sharon
nor Billy Woodburn has ever attempt
ed to do anything for us. If they have
mot yet spoken let them all speak now.
Justice to portion Of the people of
this State demand it.
GO IN, GENTLEMEN,
And see what you can do; or do you
wish Joe Snapp to take upon himself
forever part OF the duties of the
best Government the world ever
saw" and all for nothing? Joe has
certainly glory enough for one man
in the mail and express business. Let
him have chance for little money,
and the Old Dutchman will feel glo-
rious, and so will the Varyvillians. and
