The large draft OF men made in the
Justice mine during the present week
will not tend to mako times easier in
Gold Hill. The Justice was the only
mine In this section Of the Comstock
which was working any great number Of
miners. and the money which II dis
bursei monthly went far toward keep
ing all kinds OF business lively and
rsmunsrativs. The discharge Of these
men. too. has directly thrown out Of
employment others-millmen, tsamstsrs
and all that class who handled and
worked the orc after extraction. II Is
safe to say that there are at least five
hundred idle men in Gold Hill
to-day than q week ago. They must all
eat. must all have suitable clothing. and
20 have these necessaries Of life they
must run in debt. at least many Of them.
The outlook Is anything but cheering
for the Winer.
