FARLEY FOR SENATOR.

The agony is over in California. In
the Democratic joint caucns last night
James L. Farley, of Amador, received
the requisite 40 votes and was declared
the choice of the caucHs for United
States Senator. II, land withdrew from
the contest and threw his influence on
the side Of the successful candidate.
AS the caucus nomination is equivalent
to an election, to day. the Legislature
will formally elect Farley United States
Senator to succeed Sargent. whose
term expires one year from the 4th of
next March. ~

1t is to be regretted that. the bullion
yield of Humboldt is no greater than
represented. With gold and silver
bearing veins in every mountain range
in the county, only few have been de-
veloped. Theirs are surface indications
of good mines In every district in the
county; bat except 10 two instances,
the Arizona mine at Unionville and the
Rye Patch, there is not shaft 200 feet
deep in the county. Several mining
enterprises have been inaugurated
under the auspices of San Francisco
companies, but abandoned before any
considerable depth was attained.
Notably among these are the Jersey
and Hurricane mining companies.
Ruinous management caused suspen-
sion of operations on the Jersey; yet it
was subsequently leased at a rental #
$500 per n outh and proftably worked.
That the bullion product of. the county
is much more than above represented
there is no doubt, as considerable ore
has been shipped out of the county,
the yield of which is not Included in
the above statement. Hulnbo is now
principally noted for its grain aud beef
products, but the time Will come when
its mining interests will receive more
attention, and unless the rich ores
which are found on the surface of
almost every mountain within its
limits fell from the skies instead of
coming from the earth, lis mineral re-
sources viii. in richness and extent,
prove equal to those OF almost any
other county intbe State.

REPUBLICANS ON THE SENATOR
SHIP.


From conversations with many Re-
pnblicaIs here and from other parts of
the county, we feel authorized to state
that they are almost unanimously of
the opinion that Il. III. Daggett, editor
of the Territorial Enterprise should be
the candidate provided he consents
of the Republican party for United
States Senator to succeed John p.
Jones. In support of this opinion they
argue:
First, That he is true to the pripci-
pies OF the Republican party.
Second. That he endorses the coarse
of the President in his efforts to restore
peace and harmony to and between. all
sections of the Union and TO reform
the civil service of the country.
Third, That in point of ability he is
second TO no man in the State. and last,
though not least, that he is citizen of
Nevada.
Since Sharon has shown by his
actions that the interests of. Nevada,
TO which he owes his place in the Sem
ats. are of minor importance compared
with his private interests in California,
Republicans agree with Democrats that
no more non-residents~ should be
elected to the United States Senate
from Nevada.
II il unfortunate that Republicans
did not think OF this when they had the
power to elect Senator. and place Mr.
Daggett in the position now occupied,
or rather unoccupied by Sharon. His
qualifications In every respect except
wealth. are unquestiona6iy. superior to
those OF the nonresident chosen. In
che Legislative balance. however. coin
sntweighed all other considerations,
and now, when there is scarce doubt
of the next Legislature being Demo.
cratic. Republicans bring their best
men to the front for United States
abnatos..
