A surveying party, with three car
loads of equipments, has arrived at
Mill City for the purpose of making a
preliminary survey of the proposed
railroad route from the Central Pacific,
at or lear Winnemuccs, to Oregon.
Last fall a party left Winnemucca on q
similar mission, under Col. Lauterne,
but 1t being % late in the season, they
were showed in somewhere near Sur
prise valley, and as soon as they got
out made quick time back to the rail-
road. Whether there is sny prospect
of a road being built from Winne-
mucca to Oregon at an early day, we
have not learned; but this surveying
expedition, which we believe is sent
out by the Central Pacific Railroad
| Company, indicates business.
On Sunday afternoon, about 5 o'clock,
| Robert G. Douglass, a miner in the
4 Con. Virginia, was severely injured by
a blast. 1t appears he bad just finished
tamping a blast when, lighting the fuse,

walking directly up to a blast, the fuse
of which had already been fired

The silver Question.

WASHINGTON, Aug. l6.
The concurrent resolution providing
for the appointment of a commission
to inquire into the change which has
taken place in relation to the value of
gold and silver, etc., as passed by both
Houses of Congress reads as follows:
That a commission is hereby organ
lied and constituted, consisting of
three members of the Senate and three
of the House, to be appointed by the
Speaker, and experts not exceeding
three, to be selected by and associated
with them, with authority to deter
mine the place of meeting, and whose
duty it shall be, first, to inquire into
the change which has taken place in
the relative value of gold and silver,
the causes thereof, whether permanent
or otherwise; the effects thereof upon
trade, commerce, finance and the pro-
ductive interests of the country and
upon tho standard value in this and
foreign countries; second, to inquire
into the policy OF the restoration of the
double standard in this country, and
report what relation exists between
the two coins, gold and silver, and eff
fects thereof upon the labor, industries
and wealth Of the country; and third,
to inquire into the best means of pro-
viding for facilitating the resumption
OF specie payments. Said commission
is authorized to employ a s~tcn6grapher
and ordered to report on or before Jan
uary 10, 1877, with the evidence taken
by them, and make such recommends
ton for legislation AS they may deem
proper. The congressional members
of the commission are Senators Jones.

THE SILVER QUESTION.

From an article on this subject in
the New York Herald, we extract the
following;
1t is better for us t o have silver a
commodity. We would much rather
have cheap silver than silver as it has
rbeen for a century. Silver Is n of
7 the most useful of the metals. Cheap
silver is a. important to us as as cheap
iron and cheap coal. AS money it
served oRe use. AS q commodity 1t
serves q hundred uses. The attempt
to give silver q permanent money
value is only a speculation to keep
up the price of the silver mines OF Ne
vada. We believe ia Une specie value,
represented by gold. We believe in
cheap silver, and the more u people
consider the question the more they
will be disposed to regard the Bonanza
Silver bill as a foolish and wicked
scheme to strengthen mining stocks
in Nevada at the expense of the public
credit.
We are astonished at such twaddle
from so reasonable a source. Does
not the Herald know that there are
but three nations IN all C~hristendom
in which silver is not a-legal tender for
all debts, whether public or. private!
Silver is the colasof all Asia and all
South America, and a full legal tender
in Russia, France, Austria, Italy, Bel.
GUM, Holland, Switzerlsnd, in a word,
of all Europe but Germany and En-
gland. These things properly weighed
and considered, is it rot The suprem-
est nonsense for the journals of the
East to talk about the double standard
being designed solely to further the
interests Of the Nevada silver mines ?
The question admits of no such a
row view. 1t is a subject in which the
people Of the entire Union are inter-
ested. Shorn of all ambiguity, 1t re-
duces itself to this simple proposition:
Are silver dollars preferable to ir-
redeemable paper dollars ? That is the
proposition simple and pure, and no
amount of special pleading will serve
to change the issue thus presented. As
to which the people in all parts Of the
country prefer, does not admit of a
doubt. Gold and silver vas the money
of our fathers and, as inevitably as day
succeeds night, 1t is to be the money of
the future. All that is necessary is to
bring our Eastern brethren back to a
realization of the great truth that specie
is the only currency for rich and poor
alike. In this connection much of a
practical nature devolves upon the
people of this coast. 1t is the first duty
OF every political convention and town
meeting of whatever party to resolve
firmly in favor of the gold and silver
standard. We must never rest until
the last greenback in circulation has
been supplanted by its equivalent in
the silver coinage Of the United States.
1t will, of course, be necessary to do
this gradually; but there should be no
abatement of the process until the total
extinction of the paper "promises to
pay" Of the Government shall have
been secured.

tached it under Cockrill's bad rule,
but matters are worse now than then,
ii possible. At the last meeting of the
Commissioners the Mayor called at
tention to the existence of the numer-
Gus Chinese gambling dens, and sug-
gested that when the practice of black
mailing these games became so notori-
Gus that two officers publicly quarreled
as to which should receive the sway, it
was about time to investigate. He sug-
gested that the officers on Chinatown
beats be transferred elsewhere. The
Chief gave the lame excuse that he did
not wish to make the change, "be-
cause he would then have to take Off
GERS from other portions Of the city
where they were most needed" Some
times a good excuse is better than none;
but this is worse. We may cry aloud
against the "Chinese pest" but in
vain, so long as we permit III police
authorities to blackmail these gam
bling dens and "dead-falls" of prosti-
tuition. Reform the officers and good
