THE LEGISLATURE.
SPECIAL TO THE TIMEs.)
CARSON, February 20.

CARSON, February 20.
At o'clock Senator Davenport's
bill repeating the law to license gam
bling was taken mp. Many gamblers
and other interested spectators were
in the lobby.
Senator Stevenson said he would
be recreant to all principles of right
and justice if he failed to vote tor
this bill. The present law had been
tried as an experiment but the pal
try sum of IS, 900 was all that had
come into the State Treasury during
the last two years from the gambling
license. The State did not need this
money and should do without it. A
few years ago he visited the State
Fair in Sacramento. Gambling tables
existed in the open streets, but such
was not the case now; California had
prohibited gambling and Nevada
should do the same. The gamblers
of Virginia City had asked him to
defeat this bill, and expressing them
selves willing to pay license of
$500 per quarter and go up stairs,
but he (Stevenson), was in favor OF
prohibiting gambling altogether.
Davenport in support of the bill,
said that Senators were not sent to
Carson to legislate for gambling but
for the people, and four fifths of the
citizens wanted the Gambling law
repealed; Senators talked of licens-
ing gambling to restrict the gambling
games, but every Senator knew that
there was not square game dealt in
all Nevada.
Roll was then called with the fol-
lowing result: Ayes-Chnbbuck,
Clapp, Coin, Davenport, Farrell,
Grimes, King, Lockwood, McClinton,
Hickey, Ross, Shepherd, Stevenson,
Thompson, Varian and Walter;
total 16. Noes-Cassidy, Garrand,
Piper, Robinson and Stamply;
total, 5.
The bill therefore passed. Cassidy
subsequently changed from no to
aye, and gave notice to reconsider.

RICH ORE.-Prospecting Bill, the
unterrified Sadler, whose counten-
ance has been missed from Main
street for several days, returned to
town on Friday loaded down with
samples of ore from locations made
by him. The specimens showed ar
gentiferous galena, black sulpherets
of silver, native silver, and more or
less gold in combination. Bill says
the assays runs high into the hun
dreds. There is little doubt but he
has bonanza of untold wealth.

LATE Discoveries. - Dayton is
jubilant over the prospects of that
town becoming a mining camp. The
recent discoveries about three miles
above that town in Ell Dorado Can
yon, promise to turn out very rich
and extensive. The groupings have
been traced over mile and the ledge
is said to be from 10 to 20 feet wide
on the surface; assays run from $40
to 1858; bullion runs about one third
gold to two-thirds silver. A large
force of men are now employed sink
ing a shaft, and it Is the intention of
the proprietors to prosecute the work
with the utmost vigor. AS several
very wealthy gentlemen are inter-
ested theyc an do so readily. We
repeat, what we have from time to
time said, Lyon county is but yet
partially prospeeted. There is no
reason why the mines of this county
may not prove as rich as those of her
sister Storey. We have wanted cap
ital to develop them and that is now
being furnished. We shall visit the
new bonanza in few days and give
our readers the benefit of our re-
searches

AFTER IT.-Some time since one
of our citizens left town for the East
ern States. He was an old resident,
and his departure was a surprise, as
he left his wife and large business
in this place. Many were the sur
misses as to what took him away, as
is the case in little towns where each
citizen is supposed to know his
neighbours affairs better than his own.
While perambulating in search of an
item yesterday, and lntimating that
we were in possession of two-shill-
ing piece with which two of us could
obtain shorter, "a bottle of arctic
soda), we met friend who informed
us as to the mission of the friend
aforesaid. 1t would appear, from
the story impaired, that our friend
had gained information that an old
prospector on the Comstock, now
resident in Alabama or Georgia, is
in possession of certificate of stock
of thirty feet of the original stock of
the Consolidated Virginia Mining
Co., and little knows the value of
that insignificant piece of paper. Our
townsman is after that slip. He car
ried with him roll of gold notes and
certificates of deposit i'll the Bank
of California to large amount, with
which to seduce our old Comstocker,
i'm the hope of getting him to part
with the coveted prize for a trifle of
it's value. A few days ago the stock
of the Virginia Consolidated Mining
Company was selling readily at the
rate of $4,000 foot, and the interest
of which our Silver City friend is in
search at that rate would realize him
the handsome little sum ofS2, 700,0
We hope he will be able to secure
the coveted prize, and return at an
early day to the bosom of his family
and the society of his friends and
well-wishers.

OVER THE VETO
"a to 3

We received the following dis
patch from our correspondent,
transmitting the pleasing intelli-
gence of the final passage of the
Railroad Bill:
CARSON, February 20, 1875.
In the Assembly, the Lyon Coun-
ty Railroad Bill passed over the
Governors veto A to 3, Buckner,
Case and Penrod voting to sustain
the veto. It now becomes law.

THE MINES.

In DEVILS Gate District the mines
are looking better at this time than
in the history of the district. Work
is being prosecuted on a greater
number of mines than during any
one season, and with better pros
poets of ultimate success. Not only
in the gold and silver mines is this
the case, but the coal mines are
coming to the front. The Virginia
City Coal Company, whose mine is
situated in Ell Dorado Canyon, are
developing large body of coal,
While the Black Diamond Coal Com
pany are erecting extensive and ex-
pensive machinery for the success
full development of their mine, hav-
implicit confidence in the ultimate
success Of the undertaking. With
railroad leading from the coal mines
to Virginia City and Gold Hill, Lyon
county will be greatly benefited.
Now that the Lyon County Railroad
Jill has OcCOIIlc IL law, uOlW llllSldnu-
ing the objections of the Governor,
we may expect to see the road built
within the time specified in the bill.
We have little to add to our pre-
vious reports as to progress in any
particular locality. Work is being
prosecuted in several mines that
have lain idle for several years.
The Dayton has ordered most eX-
tensive machinery, said to exceed in
capacity any works on the Com
stock. The Daney are making good
Roadway. So with the Kossuth,
Silver Central, Santiago, Buckeye,
Cosmopolitan, and others. In the
latter mine the ore in the face of
drift is improving in value, late
assays going from $50 to $40, and
the ledge widening This is one of
the most promising mines in the
district, from all reports, and is in
good hands.

LIGHT AND TRUTH

Is there any man, woman or child
in Silver City or Virginia City who
believes it? Is there anybody who,
in this enlightened age, will give
credence to any report which even
hints at the possibility of undersell-
ing Banner Bros. clothing house,
corner G and Taylor streets. 1t can't
be done. No one can give you as
excellent an article of clothing for
as little money as this popular es-
adjustment. No matter how hard
others may try, they always find it
impossible to reach the extreme low
scale of prices which has been estab-
lished at this emporium of fashion.
We shall always maintain our right
to the title of the "Champions of
Low Prices" The facilities this firm
possesses is unrivaled by any other
establishment on the coast. A large
factory at No. 106 Duane street,
New York, magnificent wholesale
house at Nos. 204 and 206, Sansome
street, San Francisco, and mann
moth establishment at the corner of
@ and Taylor streets, the largest in
Virginia City. And we make no
vain boasts when we say to you 1--WE
never will be undersold." The
"Refecting Light" erected in front
of this mammoth establishment,
"dazzles' the eye for blocks off, and
both light and establishment out
shines any in Virginia City.
In order to make room for large
stock of Spring clothing now being
manufactured at our own factory In
New York, we offer our entire we'll
selected stock OF Winter clothing at
prices as low as to make it within the
reach of every one to dress we'll.
We ask the public to examine our
assortment and prices before being
allured to purchase from others, and
we will be satisfied with your choice.
