THE BONANZA KINGS.

The managers of the bullion pro-
ducing mines of the Comstock have
paid the tax on the net proceeds OF
mines under protest. The Carson
Appeal is authority for the statement
that the moneyed kings of the Cali
fornia and Consolidated Virginia mines
boast of their ability to elect the next
Legislature, and repeal the bullion tax.
They also threaten to elect Judge OF
the Supreme Court next tail, who W al
sustain the action of the Legisla' lure,
This is bold talk, and it is we'll 5 lat the
people should fully underst AID it,
meaning. The bonanza miner, are Sneo
principally by nom residents ot the
State. The product OF the mines il
expended by them III Investments Of lac
benefit whatever to the people OF
Nevada. This State is expected t.
protect their property from which, III
the event of the repeal of the bullion
tax, 1t will derive no revenue whatever
The Supreme Court will be remodelled
so that at least the newly elected Judge
will sustain the bonanza kings. Ii is
to be hoped, for the honor Of Nevada,
that this threat will never be carried
into execution. The mushroom mil
Ionairs of the Comstock are justified,
by past experience, in hoping to be
able TO carry out their programme, but
the people should show them at the
and idle boast.
