EDITOR SILVER SrATE:--Apprehend-
ing that the prosperity of the Pride
of the Humboldt depends to great
degree upon the development of the
vast resources in this section, forward
the following pickings by the wayside,
hoping they may prove of some inter-
est to your many readers; te#
| Speaking in a general sense. our
prospects for the coming season are
, VERY FAIR.
Like majority of the camps in Neva-
da. business is usually dull during the
winter months round and about Silver;
but the season now yielding to the in
huences of gentle Spring has been
more SO than any preceding one for
years. The snowfall was the heaviest
ever witnessed in this locality, yet,
strange to say. "the beautiful" disap-
peared quite as rapidly as it fell. and
those of our fellow-men who depend
upon tillipg the soil for livelihood
feel rather dubious concerning the sue
cess of crops the coming summer.
| MINING CIRCLES
Are Frightening to some extent and the
outlook in this direction is cheering in-
deed. ALI the principal companies are
| perfecting, or preparing to perfect. ar
engagements for more thorough devel-
opment of their respective leads, and
parties who are supposed to know
| whereof they speak by practical expert
ence assert in positive terms that the
yield of the ensuing season will sur
pass that of any previous period, both
as regards quantity and quality. So
mote il be!
| FREIGHTING.
In corroboration of the opinion Of
mining experts, our freighters are be-
ginning to prepare for resumption OF
active operations between this point
and your burg. 'Schooners." har-
ness, etc., are being overhauled and
put in apple-pie order, thereby making
Joyous the hearts of blacksmiths and
harness makers and adding to the con-
tents of their purses.
FINANCES
Have been on bender" since Christ
mas, but the Golden Chariot company
disbursed over $40. 600 among employees
this week AMI the hitherto "intoxi-
Gated" condition of money affairs was
somewhat sobered up by that action.
