Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1877-09-19

REsTGNED.-Deacon Parkinson of
the Tribune is little off with the
Carson Mint officials, from some un-
accountable cause, as the readers of
his family journal have no doubt no.
ticed of late. The good deacon is an
advocate of the civil service reform
adopted by President Hayes, and has
had great deal to say about Captain
Zabriskie, of the Corners Department
of the Mint, holding the position of
Chairman of the Republican County
Committee of Ormsby. On the 25th
of July, the day the Presidents or
der was received, Captain Zabriskie
resigned the craftsmanship, as we are
reliably informed, but he failed to
notify the deacon of the fact. The
Captain thought abuse from the
source aforesaid was preferable to en-
tightening him; hence he took NO
measures to avert it. The deacon
should inform himself better in the
future.
Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1877-09-19
Aurora and BOdie,

The writer made business trip to
Aurora, Bodie and Bridgeport last
week. The town of Aurora is look
ing up somewhat, the strike in Bodie
district giving encouragement to
mine owners at Aurora to resume
work on mines that have remained
idle for years. Judge Seawell is
about to erect hosting works on the
Antelope mine, and several capital
lists, including d. o. Mills and H. M.
Yerrington, are about to erect hoist
ing works on other we'll known
mines IF the district. These gentle
men lately visited Aurora and Bodle,
arriving on Sunday last. The Syn
dictate Company will resume work
soon on number of their mines.
Judge McClinton will put men on
three or four mines about the 1st OF
October. He has some very valuable
mines, from which good returns were
obtained during the early days of the
camp.
The town of Bodie has now over
one hundred houses-three or four
stores, four restaurants, one butcher
shop, two livery stables, tin shop,
barber shop, express and post offices,
lodging houses, etc. About thirty
families have already located in the
town, and the total population will
exceed six hundred. The work of
building is progressing rapidly, but
it is hindered somewhat by the want
of lumber, which has to be hauled
distance thirty miles, passing
through Bridgeport. Lumber at the
mills, $50 per thousand; freight to
Bodle, $25. The Standard Company
are shipping about $4,000 in gold
bullion every ten days. They work
about seventy men IN the mine, and
raise sufficient ore to run two mills,
aggregating thirty-six stamps. A
number of other mines are extracting
small quantities of ore and piling it
on their dumps, not having milling
facilities. Most of these are erecting
houses over their shafts, so work can
be continued through the winter
months.
1t is not our intention, 10 this arti-
Gle, to express an opinion as to the
wealth of that section. A week or
two hence we shall have personal
cognizance of that entire country and
can better report to our readers on
the Comstock.
We shall issue the Bodie Standard
on or about the 10th Of October, Civ
ing the latest news from that section.
