OlO mEAbOWS, MdEcn b.
EDITOR SILVER STATE:--I have lust
returned from visit to
SAN yAorNTo MINING DISTRICT,
Which IS situated about twenty-five
miies from here on the low hill lying
between Trinity and Antelope Ranges.
Messrs. Free IL Raphael. who lately
purchased the Jerico mine in that Dis
trict, have put men to work on the
mine and are taking out some fine ore.
They intend putting on quite num-
Der of men as soon as the mine is ia
such condition that they can be
worked to advantage. The company
that own the mines on Nevada Hill, a
short distance from the Jerico. intend
going to work in % short time and en-
deavor to- develop the wealth which
they are confident is there at no great
depth from the surface. The veins in
the district are mostly small; but are
undoubtedly rich. The ore is CHI loride
of tilver, carbonate of lead and galena;
assayfng from $50 to $500 per ton.
There are quite a number of snail
veins of free milling ore, and if mill
was put up in the District it could be
kept steadily at work crushing ore and
turning out silver bullion. The great.
est depth yet attained on any of the
veins does not exceed eighty feet,
and at that depth the prospect is very
encouraging. AS capital seems re-
| iuctant to take hold of mines in this
part OF the county, poor men will have
to develop them. at least far enough
to prove that they are valuable. On
returning home we visited
| THE MoNTEZUMA NINE,
In Arabia District. near Oreana. Mr..
Buckner's enterprise and perseverance
in prospecting this mine has bsen re-
warded by striking vein of valuable
ore five feet thick. The mine looks
well. and l. have no doubt will 5000
prove to be valuable property. There
rs ample opportunity for honest capital
to find profitable Investment ia these
districts. and if such investments were
made it would afford employment to
many men and add much to the wealth
of the country.
Although the members of the Labor
patty of the Big Meadows meet occa.
sionally to talk on matters affecting
their interests. very little has been said
thus far
| ABOUT LocAr POLITICS,
Or about candidates for county Offices.
l see by q communication in one of
your last weeks issue, that General
Buckner is mentioned as the probable
candidate on the Democratic side. for
District Judge. and that he will have
the support of the laboring men of this
I place. Mr.. Buckner is the only man,
believe. outside of our present Judge,
that'has been spoken of as likely to be
the choice Of the labor party for that
office. and as it is generally believed
here that Judge Bonniield wilisnot run
again, Mr.. Bucknef is likely to be their
only choice. and as he is a working
man, not afraid TO soil his hands with
manual labor. and who has done much
to develop some of the mines in this
part of the county, is a man of honest
purpose, of steadfast principle. and as
a lawyer, of fair ability. Iknow of no
man who would be more fit choice.
While speaking of candidates I would
like to say
A Few WORDS TO THE LABoRINa MEN
Readers of the SILVER STATE: Now is
the season for the two old parties to
look around for men to fill many of the
offices 10 the gift of the people of this
State. You ought not to be idle either.
In the past. you have had but little to
say in the selection of candidates,
owing. of course. to your own want OF
| interest in the matter. Let il be 80 no
longer. II You wish to place men in
