The silver scare in San Francisco has
materially decreased. The people Of the
Hoodlura City are experiencing lucid
interval. The silver OF Nevada. has
been the salvation OF the trade and
manufactures Of San Francisco. II has
transformed naked unsightly'ssnd hills
into splendid city. 1t has built the
palaces Of its nabobs, its magnificent
hotels and been the cause of the erection
Of imposing public ediaces. The silver
product OF Nevada has done all this and
more. Yet the average San Franciscan
appears 10 have no more sense than 70
attempt to depreciate the source upon
which that city depends for its continued
prosperity. Its citizens would seem to
look upon Nevada Is their lawful prey.
That the people Of this State are theiI
bondsmen aud vassals. The hardy
prospectors Of Nevada can explore. often
at the expense Of life. or limb. the trea.
sure-houses hidden by nature in the
recesses OF our mountains; our business
men can risk their means by fitting ont
and supplying such expeditions. and
when the treasure is found, a delegation
from the Hoodlum City, will condsscend
to accept it il it is worth having. or gel
up q swindling scheme to deprive BY
some hocus pocus, the discoveries OF the
fruits Of their labor. These eXpedienti
having grown somewhat stale. the las
move. is the imposition Of a forced trbi
ute. which they call discount. In othsl
words. they want to reap where they did
not SOW, they seek the profit but avoid
the risk. The remedy for this is the
same as to defeat the erac,ions Of the
Central Pacific. It is to send the bull
lion OF Nevada direct to the East without
passing through the jaws Of the cor
morants seated by the Golden Gate and
to deal with Eastern merchants. The
latter may be pretty close calculators
but they don't want it all. The folks ct
the Hoodlum City do.

still svayms with workmen. These are
divided into three gangs One Of these

and are constantly busted in filing in
along the track aud keeping the road
traversabls for passing trains. The
other gangs are filing in the ravine below
the track. When the frs. fall OF rain
came and the early SHOWS melted and
the ground became soft a similar trouble
was experienced. The earth cracked OF
above the track and settled bodily,
causing the hill to bulge into the ravine
below. Work was at that time continued
in the same manner as at present till the
mass became fixed and the track was
firm.

Gle on Snow-shoe Thompson. :" II
says:
For twenty winters Snow-shoe
Thompson has carried the mails across
the Sierra Nevada Mountains at times
when they could have been transported
in no other way than on snow.shoes.
For five winters he was constantly en-.
gagged in this work. Two years he car
ried the United States mails when there
was no contract for the work, and be
got nothing.
When Chorpenning had the contrac,
for carrying the mails Thompson took
his oxen and kept the road open for q
long time, and when the road was finally
closed he carried the mail bags on his
back. Chorpennipg failed and Thomp.
son never received cent for his work.
He has done a vast deal of work TO,
nothing. Some seasons an overland
mail would not have reached California
during the whole winter had not Thomp-
son turned out on his snow shoes and
carried the sacks across the mountains.
He is now becoming advanced in years
and is beginning to think that there
would be no harm in asking Uncle Sam
to give him something for what he did iu
his younger days. His principal bust
ness here this week was to obtain sigma
lures to a petition asking Congress tc
pay him Sc, 600 for what he has been
doing these many years almost withou;
money and without price. His petition
was signed by all the State officials al
Carson City and by every one else that
was asked to sign it. The chances are
that little il any attention will be paid to
his modest little petition when it is pre-
scented at Washington. He never got
anything but promises while on duty in
the Sierras; and at Washington they will
doubtless pay him in the same coin.
