Tight-fsted Taxpayers, who growl at the
expenditures for guarding and preserving the
public health, should ponder the estimates
made by DIR. Benjamin Lee, of Philadelphia
of what an epidemic costs a city. Taking the
small pox epidemic in Philadelphia, in 1872,
as basis, be figures that, adding to the
actual cost Of maintaining hospitals and treat
ing the sick, the loss Of production. loss of
trade loss of travel to and in the city, loss in
money paid for funeral expenses, and con-
struetive loss by waste Of valuable lives, that
epidemic cost the city the astounding total of
SIC, 1868, 800. Surprising, to satisfy objectors
to "theorizing," that we pare down this to-
tal-supposing we cut it down one-half-and
there is sum left that is sufficient to con-
vince the narrowest apprehension that il
"pays " to try to keep the public health up
to tone by means that can be pointed out by

TIE STATE EXPENSES.

Col J, r. Freeze, of Trenton, is doing a
good work in calling the attention of the peo-
plc of this State to the remarkable increase of
the State expenses in the past fifteen years,
the increase being out of all proportion TO the
growth of population. A sudden twitch of
economy seized Geo. w. Patterson, the de-
faulter, and others of last years legislators,
and the publication of the laws Ia vely justi-
fable expense, as the people should know
what the laws are) was discontinued in the
papers of the State, at a saving of some $780,,
600, while the utterly useless expense of the
the militia, amounting to over $4,000, was
untouched, and other similar useless expenses
and exorbtant salaries, such as the Clerk
of the Supreme Court and Clerk of Chancery
amounting with fees to $4,000 each) were
allowed to remain as they were.
The following extracts from one of the
Colonel's articles, will show the remarkable
manner in which salaries and expenses have
been increased:
"Ths growth of expenditures, and conse-
quent increase of taxes, is not the result of a
day or Il year, else tie extravaganza would
have been ut once noticed and at once resisted.
IF. for instance Newell. while Governor in 90
had asked to have his salary increased from
81. 800 To 81. 900. a Jury of lnnacy would have
been called to consider his case next day or
had his Private Secretary (l3oren) asked an
increase of salary from $500 to $4,000 per
annum. and ON pretense of having sstoo much
to do. ), or. what might probably have been
nearer the triith of making soft place y
for his son tif he had one), had asked that
another assistant be appointed at 81 500 per
annum, and = page, = to wait upon all three,
at a salary of ST, 200 per annnm--making an
increase OF expenditure in this one office alone
from So, 100 to S9,700-how long, think you,
would the people have been in finding 1T out /?
cor, to mention other examples, had
Smith, in go, asked to have the Treasurer's
salary raised from 81, 900 to SIS, 900 per annum,
with an additional allowance of $4,000 for
clerk hire, who would have favored his wish
esp Or had Atkinson asked. in go, to have
the salary and fees of the Secretary of State
increased from about 81 900 to over So, 900,
with an allowance of S.. 1000 additional to pay
some ono for doing the work of the Office
Or had Mr.. Mcdonald asked, in '65, to have
his salary, as Comptroller, increased from
$4,000 to S5, 900, and his allowance for help
or ssseryices y increased from 1912 to S., 275 !;
or had the Clerk of Chancery or the Clerk of
the Supreme Court sought to have fec bills so
changed as to increase their salaries from

INCORRECT.

The Virginia Chronicle of Saturday has q COM
munication signed by nine former guards OF the
State Prison, which is introduced as has having
.sbeen sent to the Carson appeal last March
for publication. but, we believe. was never
printed" The appeal of yesterday morning
denies ever having seen the article. The fact Is
that it was handed to the editor of the Tribune
about the time mentioned by a gentleman VINO
we had every reason to believe was aspiring to
the position occupied by Col. Hyman and did not
seem particular as to the means OF obtaining 1t.
We did not give it publication for that reason,
considering the interested motives of the man
who doubtless obtained the statement and edited
it himself We do not propose to now notice the
communication at length. but would merely say
that those signing it were quite as likely to be
seeking to regain their lost positions by these
statements against the old Warden, as that those
whom they accuse Of giving evidence favorable
to him before the Legislative mmitt were
seeking by that course to regain theirs. The lie
is quite as likely to be with the signers Of the
document in the Chronicle as with those whom
by implication they accuse of lying before the
Legislative Committee.-Carson Tribune, Septem-
Der 18th.

The BANK AND THE STOCK MARKET
We are in receipt of cheering news from
San Francisco, says the Eureka Sentinel
of the 2Sth ultimo. regarding the open
ing of the banks and q resumption Of
business by the Stock Boards. The toll
lowing dispatch was received. at a late
hour last night:
"Coin poured into the Bank of Cali
fornia rapidly to-day, 10 payment of the
assessment Of twenty-five per cent. of
the guarantee fund levied by the Syndi-
cate last Saturday. About $500, 600 had
been paid in up to 8 P. NJ, and the bal
met will probably come in tomorrow.
The committees of the big Stock Boards
have decided to recommend that both
boards resume business on Tuesday,
October 9Th, the Banks of California and
Nevada being expected to open on Mon
day, the 4th. II is thought there will
then be no difficulty in settling and there
will be a good market. The lively feel
ing manifested in stocks to-day is attrib-
utable to the immediate opening of the
banks. An easy money market from
this time forward seems to be an as.

FoR HIS CoUNTRY's GooD.-The San
Francisco Cal makes the following
very truthful remarks in regard to the
resignation of Secretary Delano: ut is
now certain that Secretary Delano has
rendered his resignation, and that it has
been accepted by the President, to take
effect on the LIST. The country will be
well satisfied with his retirement. Presi-
dent Grant sustained him as long as there
was a reasonable doubt of his being either
a tool or accomplice of the Indian ring.
and now lets him go just in time to escape
conclusions unpleasant to himself. Mr..
Delano's retiring will occasion no MUIR
mers outside of the Indian ring and
their allies and defendants. The country
at large is sick and tired of hearing the
continued complaints of robbery of
Indians. They are tired also of seeing
a million or two added to the expense of
supporting Indians each year, while the
number to be taken care of is gradually
decreasing"

WHAT SAW IN THE GREAT EXIST.

Frank w. Stewart, who has been col
Letting specimens for the Centennial Ex-
hibition, and has had extraordinary facil-
tiles for visiting all the mines of any note
in Nevada, is writing a series of articles
for the Virginia Enterprise, giving his ex-
p~erience in mining matters. The follow
ing being so truthful a portrayal Of our
immediate locality that We extract a por-
ton of his third letter for the benefit Of
our readers
"Outside of three mining localities-
namely Phoebe, Eureka and Austin-there
is probably not a mining shaft nor incline
in Eastern, Northern or Southern Nevada
which has been carried to a greater depth
than five or six hundred feet. The truth
is, the vast mineral deposits in the inte-
rior have merely been specifically and
bunglingly scratched, and in most in
stances have not even been decently pros
pected. My experience in the Nevada
mines has convinced me of the important
truth that most of the base metals, such
as lead, anthony and copper, which so
frequently crop out at the surface of the
lodges, will invariably obey the same law
of gradual diminution so universally man
ifested by gold groupings. In other
words the base metal deposits, like gold
deposits, are merely superficial, and, like
the gold. will ultimately give place to
free silver ores. In confederation of this
belief, I need only refer to recent devel-
opments in the great silver-bearing lead
deposit at Eureka. Not long since this
great lead bed was supposed to be practi-
cally inexhaustible. Now. at the depth
of less than eight hundred feet, the shaft
of the Eureka Consolidated mine has
passed entirely through the lead stratum,
and has penetrated a ledge Of beautiful
sulphuret ore, which greatly resembles
the free milling ores of the Comstock.
Numberless instances might be cited to
prove that silver is mainly the only metal
which permeates our quartz lodges at pro-
found depths, and We shall never realize
the Unreasonable richness of our argen-
tiferous deposits until we cease coyoting
about among the gold groupings and
baser minerals at the surface"

A MrsTAKE.-We made a mistake, a y
the Austin ReveiNe, in saying that Justice
Logan had gone up Reese river for rec
reation. 1t is true he went out of town;
but only down the road toward Battle
Mountain. The new preacher was ex-
pected, and the Justice and Joe Trask
went out in a buggy to meet the stage
and bring him to town. When they met
the stage they hailed it and inquired if
Mr.. Gray was aboard, when a colored in
dividual poked his head out of the win
dow and said. Yes, what's wanted p
Nothing" said the Judge. "only we
wanted to know if you was aboard;'' and
Joe Trask turned the team and drove
back to town. and when they arrived he
said the Judge and himself had only been
out to Birch creek to look at some char
coal.
