The Chronicle continues its bear
movements on the bonanzas. This
morning it quotes the %utterance of q.

board, and M. J.. Mcdonald, in sup
port of its assertions, that Con. Vir-
ginia and California are petering out
and that Flood Il O'Brlen have been
heavy sellers for months past.
The Alta, on the other hand, has an
article this morning crediting the re-
cent decline entirely to the manipula-
ton of the bear combination, assisted
by the recent diminution Of the pro.
duction of the bonanza veins, attrib-
uted to lack OF hosting and crushing
facilities, and claims on the statement
of one of the members of the firm OF
Flood & O'Brien that they have dis
posed of none of their stock, but on
the contrary have been heavy purchas-
ers at different times. They have firm
faith in the value of these properties,
and that shares will again realize as

have 10 the past.

STANDS IN.

Brother Mighels, Of the Carson APP
peal, is the truest blue Republican Of
our acquaintance. There is no mine
ing OF matters with him. He goes the
whole hog and stands squarely by the
record of his party even down to the
last acts of President Grant In remov-
ing persons who have been termed the
only honest men connected with the
revenue business. This is both manly
and honest on the part of the Appeal
editor. While nearly all Of the lead
ing mon and journals of the Repub-
lican party have lampooned the Presi-
ideut for many OF his latest perform
ances; while the Republican nominee
for the presidency deliberately snubs
Grant by totally ignoring his
administration, this sagebrush ed.
itor stands firmly by his COL
ors, aud maintains, with pecul-
lar force, that the President has COM
mitted no wrong. He goes further,
and says those snivelers who would
disconnect the Republican party from
the present Administration are moi
sound in their party allegiance. Well,
1t strikes us that this position is about
correct. Whether good or bad, the
weight of Grants administration was
deliberately saddled on the Republican
party by the Cincinnati Convention.
The seventeenth resolution of the plat
form adopted by that body reads as
follows:
The National Administration merits
commentator for its honest, able
work in the management OF domestic
and foreign affairs, and President
Grant deserves the continued and
hearty gratitude of the American peo-
pie for his patriotism and his immense
services in war and in peace.
The representatives of the party have
officially declared that Grants admin
~istration :. merits commentator, /" and
Mighels is right in appealing to the
rank and file in Nevada to stand up
and take their Cruel like men.

One of those unfortunate shooting
scrapes, says the Rorar Miner, which
are so frequent in new mining camps
has occurred at Belleville. The cir
cumstances, as related by the physi-
clan who attended the wounded man,
are as follows: Joseph Spangler and
Robert Cooper were drinking on the
Fourth of July, and quarreled, but
were stopped by some friends. They
met again on the night of the 9Th and
renewed the quarrel. Pistols were
drawn, and Spangler received four
shots in the body, and there is but lit
tie hope of his recovery. Cooper is
under arrest. Both men are we'll

yer was quoted in New York yester.

Improvement on the current rates ol
last week. This means somewhere in
the neighborhood of so pence per ounce
in London. The appreciation of silver
promises to be as rapid as was its de-
cline. The price of silver is just now
of engrossing interest to the people Of
Nevada, as a further advance to the old
figures would operate to settle some
knotty questions regarding the work

THE LABOR QUESTION IN AUS
TN.

The Austin Miners Union held a
meeting last Saturday night to consider
the proposition made by Allen A. Cur.
tbs, agent of the Manhattan 5. M. Co.,
tn at during the time the present heavy
discount on silver is maintained they
should allow to the company a dis
count on their wages equal to One-half
the current rate of discount on silver
bullion, which in the aggregate would
amount to one tenth of the amount Of
discount paid by the company. After
u discussion of the matter, a committee
was appointed to wait on Mr.. Curtis
and inform him that the Union re-
fused to accede to the terms offered by
him, and that the wages of all under
ground miners employed by the COM
pany must be continued at the rate OF
four dollars per day in gold coin, with
out any discount whatever.
We find the above in the ReueiLe Of
last Monday. The effect of this decis-
ion, the Repeille says, Will be the cur
tailment, if not the total suspension, OF
operations by the Manhattan Company
until such times as the business of sill
yer mining can be conducted at a
profit. About 40 per cent. a day
on each mans wages was the reduc-
ton asked for by Mr.. Curtis. Inas'
much as silver has assumed an up
ward tendency, however, we hope that
all fear of a dead lock between the
miners and mine-owners will ere long
have vanished, thus allowing the bust.
ness of legitimate mining in all OF the
districts in the State to proceed al
usual.

only 81 votes, this resolution offered
by Piper was adopted under a suspen-

majority of 1876 against IA. Piper was
heartily c~o-operated with by Page in
this matter, having indeed two months
ago stated his purpose, as he tele-

nothing more effectual was secured
before the close Of the session.
Piper will, II he wishes it, be ap-
