ESTAC.

FROM DEADwooD CITY-We have
before us letter written to resi-
dent of Phoebe, dated December 80,
1875, from Deadwood City, in which
the writer says it took his party
twenty-three days to make the trip
from Cheyenne to Deadwood. He
expected to find more extensive
mining country than what there is
there. The Hills cover an area of
about sixty or seventy miles. No
gold has been found here in paying
quantities, and that is very limited.
About next summer will work out
most of the placer claims here. The
quartz | don't go much on. have
seen what they call the best quartz
mines here. There has not been
much work done on them yet. As it
is they look like regular quarry.
The formation is slate, with some
quartz and cement or sediment
mixed in The slate, think, is
nothing but high bedrock. Times
are terribly dull here, and there are
many men broke. There are not
twenty men working for wages on the
gulch. There is no excuse for this,
as the diggings are drifting, which
can be worked in winter as we'll as
spring. The weather has not been so
very cold as yet-there is about snow
enough to make good sleighing.
There is plenty Of timber. The
water for mining purposes is scarce;
that is if the mines were extensive,
there being only one good sluice head
at the best. Two days ago the In
dams made raid on the stock at
Spear Fish, about twelve miles from
here, and got away with about fifty
head of horses. There is no show to
take up any ground here, and they
ask more for claims than what is on
the bedrock. Don't advise anyone
to come here.-[Pioche Record.

JoKE.-Three young men who
have no Holmes and have to endure
the discomforts of lodging house,
on Thursday night went to their
rooms in racing and romping
manner. One OF them was treated
by his companions to a practical
joke. They hid his hat and after
retiring to bed his attention was
called to the missing article, and
the suggestion offered that he had
lost it in the race. Convinced Of
this. he went out on the street in
ghostly attire to look for bis hat.
and after frightening several people
half out Of their wits, he returned
to bis room almost as cold as a
brass monkey and found-himself
sold. He Will not aoon be caught
again by such Bates.

BULL-DosRD.-An old member of
the Pedro Club says the game has
been so badly bull-dosed that it has
lost all its former charms. The first
dosing" was little pedro, and the
second was the nine and tray and "a
change of name to "bonanza." There
are now so many points to defend
that he seldom wins. From force of
habit, IN an exciting contest, he gives
up big bonanza and holds on to Pc
dro to the last. He will soon with
draw if the members do not decide
to return to the purer days of the
club.

STREET CROSSINGS. - Silver is
quite unprovided With crossings
and the trip from one end OF the
town to the other involves consider.
able wading in mud and water. On
Main street, crossing would be an
obstruction to the constantly pass
ing ore and wood wagons, stepping
blocks only would be practicable
but on the numbered streets cross.
ing Main. board walks might be
laid in such manner as not to oh.
struct vehicles, and at the same
time be great convenience to

FIVE DOLLAR WHISKY Bills
Some papers have been attacking
the bill introduced by Mr.. Kennedy
to limit the amount of whisky bill
collectable by law to five dollars.
We wish to give our influence in
favor Of the bill. We think it will
be entirely satisfactory to persons
keeping bars, and there is still
higher consideration in the interest
of the families of persons who can
not control their appetites for in
toxica:ing drinks. The blessings
OF many mothers will rest upon the
members OF the Legislature VIII
vote for and secure the passage of
such law. Then. also. it is a
slight advance in the cause of
Christianity, morality and good
order, and should find favor for
this reason. Pass the bill, we say.

SENATOR WEsrERFIELD. =


Carson correspondent of The En-
terprise say w. j. Westerfield,
or as his friends familiarly call him,
" Billy" is the first Democratic
Senator Lyon county has ever sent
to assist in making laws. He is a
native of Kentucky, 40 years of age
AMI a married man. of light com
plexion and below the medium
hight. He is very industrious
legislator, doing nothing but what
he deems is right and doing that
with all his might. He holds this
as his creed. greater love hath no
man than this, that "A man lay down
his life for his friends" and proves
its truth by being one of the most
popular men IN bis county. His
reputation is one of unquestionable
integrity. We believe "saint Sc
ducing gold" would have no effect
upon him, although we doubt his
saintship.

The Dayton Toll Road.

we sce III Tic Legislative proceed
ings that bill has passed the Senate
declaring certain road in Lyon
county free. This refers to the toll
road between Silver City and Dayton.
about which we have on two or three
occasions written some weeks ago.
Of course our local readers are pretty
well informed on the subject, and
we have no other wish than to give
voice to our citizens in a matter en-
tlrely local in its effects. If it is the
wish of the majority who are inter-
ested in keeping taxes as low as prac-
ticable that this road shall be made
free and maintained from the county
treasury, we have no objections to
offer, but We think the members from
this county should be fully satisfied
on this point before giving assent to
the passage of such law. As it is
a matter over which the County
Commissioners have full control
without further Legislation, it looks a
little as though there was some inter-
est foreign to this county urging the
passage of the bill.
All we ask in relation to this road
is that the will of the majority of the
taxpayers should be carried into
effect. THE TINES has shown that
the arguments advanced by the pro-
moters OF this scheme are delusive /;
that the apparent advantage of max
ing the road free will not probably
be realized, and that the benefits to
accrue to Silver City are more i'm.
aginary than real. There are two
sides to all questions like this, and
the arguments on each should receive
due consideration. Hasty action is
generally regretted and perhaps this
case will not prove an exception.
People should canvass the various
opinions on this subject and be
guided by equity to all. In this
light we would ask our members of
the Assembly to hold the bill in
check until they are fully advised as
to the wishes of their constituents.
There will be ample tine twenty days
hence to pass the bill if it is found
that the majority Of the people in
terested desire its passage.
There is one point, however, on
which we wish to express decided
opinion, and hope to see our sugges-
ton adopted in case the road is made
free. There has been proposition
submitted to the Board of Commits
sioners that if they would make the
road free certain parties would give
bonds to keep it in repair for two
years-this was the prime cause Of
many persons signing petition in
that behalf. Now, we do not wish
the people to be deluded by any such
promises. The interest these parties
would have in the road would ex-
tend no further than keeping it pass
able for wood wagons, and this con-
dition might not be well adapted to
other traffic. In our opinion, if the
road is made free, the county had bet
ter take the expense Of keeping it in
repair, for then we should have some
assurance that it would be kept in
good condition for all classes of
travel.

J. w. Barnhart publishes in the
Boonsboro Ne,cs a card asking the
pardon of all whom he has injured
by either word, deed, or example
through his Incorporate habits, and
pledges himself that he will hereaf:
ter abstain totally from the use of
intoxicating liquor of any kind un-
der any circumstances Whatever,
hoping that he may by a consistent
and upright course regain the respect
and esteem of those who have once
been his friends. The step taken,
shows how strong a conflict he has
to make with his habit, and how
necessary he considers a public COM
initial to the purpose he has formed;
and still we will undertake to say
that there has been a time i'll his
career at which he boosted as COM
placently as almost every moderate
tippler does yet, that there was no
danger OF his appetite getting beyond
his control. The experience of nine
drunkards out of every ten, has been
the same-they all thought at the
beginning of their indulgings that
they could retain the mastery of
themselves, forgetting that the effect
of alcohol upon the system is to so
thoroughly change it that the con-
slant user in short time becomes
physiologically different creature
from the non-user, and almost abso-
lutely incapable of getting along
without the poison which has fired
his blood, unstrung his nerves, and
set up new and false judgment in
his mind.-Siour CITY journal.

Tilden's Tax Suit.

The commissioner of Internal Rev
enue, Hon, Green B. Raum, in reply
to the communication of Z. S. Dist.
Attorney Bliss, advising him of the
commencement of suit for the re-
covery of sl5o,ooo delinquent in
come tax, writes as follows:
"Your action in this matter meets
with my approval. My aim has
been to tIeat Mr.. Tilden just as l
would any other citizen. If he owes
government taxes and declines to
pay them, l see no reason why he
should be exempt from prosecution
more than any other citizen. While
the canvass lasted l thought it I'M
necessary and unwise to institute
proceedings against him, and the in
structions from this office of Sept.
2, 1876, to you, in regard to suits
for income tax, were the same that
were given to a number of other
United States district attorneys
where it was believed taxes of that
description were due. l trust you
will put your successor in possession
of all the facts in connection with
the subject, SO that when the time
comes for trial he will be prepared
to present the cause Of the United
States in such a manner as the merits
of the case require"
