the station house, bring with them large quan-
titles Of food which ! is either tramplcd under
foot or thrown cut into the garbage barrels.
This food is begged from our citizens by these

THE YIELD OF PRECIOUS METALS
FOR THE YEAR 1875.

]. J. Valentine, General Superintend-
snt Of Wells. Fargo & Co. q Express, has
just published his annual statement Of
the product Of precious metals on this
Coast for tho year 1875, which foots up
360, 1888, 0S7. This product exceeds that
Of 1874 by $6.4s7.9s2. Had not the
great conAagration at Virginia City
stopped operations on the Comstock a
much better showing would have been
the result; but as it is the product ex-
Deeds that Of the year previous by a
handsome amount. Mr.. Valentine q

ct $50. 000. 900. In the face Of this vas.
product OF precious metals the whole
Pacific Coast never suffered 90 much as

gave US these facts: There are seven
shafts on the mine. which reveal con-
tinuous ledge for 800 feet along the claim
which ia 1900 feet in length. These
shafts are respectively 65. so, 40, SO, Is
and two six feet deep. and one tunnel
run IS feet each way from the bottom OF
the 4O-foot shaft. The ledge is from one
to three feet wide in the tunnel, and the
pay streak averages foot Of ore that
samples $500. He has out $50 tons that

STAMP TAx.-The Rsveills has this to
say about the law Of Congress requiring
. two-cent stamp on bank checks: "At
Paxton & Curtis Bank there is petition
to Congress asking the repeal of the law
requiring two cent stamp to be affixed
to bank check. which is being numer.
ously signed. This stamp business has
been source Of constant annoyance to
a.; W don't mind the two.csnts, but it's
the wear and tear of our tongue in lick
ink the stamp. We have frequently
been compelled to hire boy to lick the
stamps and afix them to our checks;
and We hope the law will be repealed and
this expense saved to us." Give US the
bank account and we will not loose any
sleep about the minor matter Of shaping
ON the two-cent stamp, II that was the
only barrier between ~ and our little
''pile." We know Of any number here
who would be willing to put on twenty
two-cent stamps and think It no trouble,
II oil the other conditions necessary
