The Gold Hill News thinks the Miners
Union, and the various secret societies
in that section, do more for the relief OF
suffering humanity than would be cred
tied by most people. Still. with the best
that can be done, as things are now ar
ranged, many, particularly those injured
in the mines, would be left to suffer only
for the aid rendered them by some time
~ Samaritan. Did every man who works
in the mines, and is therefore liable to
get hurt and disabled sometime or other,
belong to a society that would, in case OF
sickness or injury, take care of him, the
necessity for what we are about to sug-
| gest, would never occur. As this is not |
the case, however, would it not be |
good idea for the miners to exact a tax If, !.
fifty cents or dollar a month rom |
every man employed abous. esIss mines OF |
the Comstock the .ss@fiey TO go to the |
general fund fe- tne relief OF the sick
aud ip,ured in the mines. The plan
works well in other places, and we can
} not see any reason why 1t could not be
, applied here, ii the miners would only
take it properly in hand. As the case
now stands, the generosity OF the lodging
! and boarding-house keeper is often taxed
/. to the utmost relieve the necessities OF
their customers. and if they growl occa-
. sionally they are bersted as unfeelng
= monsters. Doctors, and others too, who
l. ought not to lose the value OF their SER
!. vices, are too often forced to be the suf.
!. !erers when miner without means gets
injured. In view of this, and much
more that might be urged, we therefore
3 say. would it not be well for the miners
Q to levy q regular tax and devote it to the
a above mentioned purpose2
