TO THE VOTERS OF LYON
COUNTY.

This being probably the last issue
of tho TIMES prior to the day of
election, we wish to urge you, the
voters OF Lyon county, to exercise
due care in the selection of your
favorites.
First of all, We ask you all, Re-
publicans and the friends of progress,
to vote for R. NJ. Daggett for Con-
gress, because he il the sblest repre-
sentative Of your sentiments In the
State.
We ask you, the voters of Lyon
county, to vote the Republican State
ticket because we believe that the
candidates upon it will, if elected,
act for the best interests of the State.
We ask you, especially, to vote
against L. r. Bradley for Governor
because, during the two terms of
his incumbency Of the gubernatorial
office he has not initiated a single
measure calculated to he of any
great benefit to the people OF the
State. If Mr.. Kinkead is elected We
may hope that at least some attempt
will be made to settle the vexed
question of railroad fares and freights,
while if Governor Bradley is re-
elected he will do no more on this
subject than he has done heretofore,
which is absolutely NOTHING.
We ask you to vote the Republican
Legislative ticket, because by so
doing you will contribute your mite
toward the return to the United States
Senate, for another term, of John
Paul Jones, the man who above all
others ever sent to Washington from
this coast, has done the most to Sc
cure our prosperity, even though
this involved him in financial ruin.
We ask you to vote for R. A.
Cooke, for Sheriff, because he has
now been in Office four years, and
not a man can say that, during that
time, he did dishonorable or q dis
honest act. In the discharge of his
duties he has known neither friend
nor foe, and the man does not live
who can justly accuse him Of
official Partially or neglect Of duty.
We ask you to vote for George W.
Burrier for County Commissioner for
the long term, because during the
past two years that he has been in
Office he has done his duty-his
whole duty-by the county and by his
constituents.
We ask you to vote for James r.
Shaw for County Commissioner for
the short term, because since he has
been in Office the county debt has
been reduced from over $4,000 to
less than one. fourth Of that sum,
and this in the face of the fact that
our taxes are much lower than in
almost any other county in the State,
and he deserves the largest share of
credit of any Commissioner for that
achievement.
We ask you to vote the Republic
can ticket because, as a whole, it
bears the name of men who possess
the confidence of the community to
. greater degree than those named
on the opposing ticket.

Every day the miner is becoming . more
important unit Of the community. The
Scientific Press" says: West Of the
Rockies. no u is doing more ct the
present moment TO develop all industries
and Danish ''hard times" than is the
miner. He furnishes work for the
foundries, when steamship companies are
SO broken that they cannot send in orders.
He calls for supplies. when in every other
direction the market seems TO be glutted.
and the provision men are blue. He en-
ploys labor in building railroads, and
while these are under way he keeps num-
berless teamsters busy on the roads trans
| porting his ore. Even the lawyer finds
employment from the miner. knd last,
but not least, the needy editors come Ia
for . share. A mining camp gets . board
ing-house and . saloon, aud then II IL pre-
pared for . newspaper. The miner is doing
all this for the country Of present. He is
the life Of all markets. And any man who
IL cunning enough to set his sail according
10 the wind, will address his efforts TO the
service Of the miner.

Report Of . Committee from the

vada Bonanza.

Report or . Committee from thc
Miners trnkon ON the Sierra Ne
vada Bonanza.
The reported mob In Virginia City
turns out to have been merely an angry
interview between Skae and q man named
Frazier, from Gold Hill. The men became
excited. but finally separated and walked
away in different directions, when q
crowd gathered around Frazier and de-
manded to know the result Of his inter-
view with Skae. When told that Skae had
refused to let anyone in the mine, they
became exceedingly indignant and threat
ened to go in q body and take temporary
possession Of it. At this j%uncture word
was received from Skae that he would ad-
NIT q Committee from the Miners Union
and any reasonable number u s~harehold-
ers. This seemed to satisfy the crowd, and
quiet was soon restored. The report Of
the Committee sent down by the Miners
Union is published in the Enterprise. It
is as follows:
1.-THE men composing the committee were
the best experts that could be selected.
They carefully examined the mine and re-
port that the crosscut on the 1900 level
measures % feet in length on one side and
81 feet on the other. From where the ore
was first struck to the face Of the crosscut
the distance, measuring on the bottom, 10
ten feet, and six feet OF the top Of the cross
cut Is in ore. This, they say, is all solid
ore Of excellent quality. While the COM
mittee we're in the mine . blast Of five shots
was fred in the face Of the crosscut, throw
ing out ore Of the richest character. Speci-
mems Of this were brought out Of the mine,
and are as fine as any ever obtained from
any part Of the closscut. They describe
the crosscut as being intensely hot-so hot
that it is almost impossible for men to
work there. This probably accounts for
the slow progress made.
In regard to the 2100 level, they all
agree that the crosscut is still in o mixture
Of cap-rock and low grade ore, n say
that it has not yet been advanced a sufii-
Gent distance to reach the true ore body.
Some of the men thought the real ore
body would be reached in "a hours, while
others thought it would require 4S hours to
reach it.
All agree that the mine is presenting .
very fine appearances, and came out we'll
pleased and thoroughly satisfied with it.
The report of the committee has given
backbone to ali who have heard it, and
our people will to-day be buyers accord
ing to their means.

rnECHINEsx BURYING-GRoUND.



Visitors to the Chinese burying-ground
cannot but be appalled, at the CHASTITY
spectacle before them. Five open graves
and as many collins robbed of their ten
ants, meet the eye. We turned away with
sickening disgust. when this strange scene
Of death lay spread before us, and at our
very hearthstones. Upon a clear examina-
ton Of the graves. the collins and their
Wondering occupants, it was evident that
these graves had been desecrated by
some demon in human shape. No other
animal could have done this work after the
manner in which we found it. There was
every evidence that each coffin had been
occupied, and that after the customs and
religion Of this people and creed. the last
sad rites had been administered to all
that was mortal of q brother and
countryman- We will forbear from asking
what could have i~nstigated any one to per-
petrate an action so inhuman and revolt
ing. True, it is, that we awe s'open sep
ulchres and the rottenness of dead mems
bones" in the Chinese quarter OF our town.
We are among the living. and that feeling,
(which makes MS TO our fellow mortals
wondrous kind should prompt us to cor
rect and abate an evil in our midst, which,
as 1t now exists, is a most damning blot on
the fair name Of any civilized nation or
community. Something within us. which
is a divine and gracious gift made to the
human being only, prompts every nation
and people TO respect the memory Of the
departed, and to protect from Dissertation
their last resting place. Let the proper
authorities correct this unfortunate condi-
ton Of affairs, and in the future, bring a
cendign summary punishment on the mis-
creants.
