A Row In the Democratic Camp.

There is a probability Of a row in
the Democratic party which may re-
suit advantageously to the people of
Nevada. The Eureka Sentinel and
Virginia Chronicle are supporting
Hagerman for Governor, while the
other Democratic papers are in favor
of Bradley. The latter is opposed to
any change in the law prescribing
the manner of levying and collecting
the bullion tax, while the former is
supposed to favor the schemes Of the
bonanza people, and a split in the
party on this question may occur,
opening the way for an easy victory
for the Republicans. The supporters
of Bradley have lately published the
following extract from the Reno
journal of March Sd, 1877:
To Messrs. Shoemaker, Gladding and
Everett, Carson, Nevada:
We, the undersigned taxpayers and
voters of Washoe county, do most
respectfully recommend to your ia
vorable consideration, what is known
as the Bullion Tax Bill now before
you, and that you act as your best
judgement may dictate for the best
interests of the county and the State
at large, regardless of any and all
pledges.
Signed by J. c. Hagerman, and
fifty-one others.

A Relic Of Former Days-With a
Story.

Claus Becker has in his cabinet an
old fashioned candle snuffer, one of
those scissor-shaped affairs with a
box on the upper side of ole blade
to hold the clippings from the candle
wick. The young people of to-day
would be puzzled to know the use of
this implement, which was so useful
in the days of tallow candles, with
their big wicks that required clipping
off ut short intervals of time to i'm
prove their illuminating power.
DR.. Schramm brought this snuffer
from Germany some thirty five years
ago, and he tells story about how
he became possessed of it. Accord
ing to the remarkable narrative of
the Doctor, butcher started on a
trip and after he had walked about
seven miles he found something hurt
ing his foot. On taking off his boot
he found the snutfer and, being at
the Doctors premises, gave it to him
When the dimensions of the snuffer-
about seven inches in length and an
inch and II half high, over all-are
considered, the reader will not be sur
prised at the trouble of the poor
butcher.

have been cleared off and ploughed

Three good, substantial houses have
been erected, and, Judging from wha,
we heard one of the interested par

Amazon and Glasgow Mines.

This really valuable piece of min
ing property is once more in fair
way of being developed in a manner
com mensurate with its merits. Both
mines have entirely changed hands,
the control having passed into the
hands of a rich Eastern capitalist,
who has paid off all the old indebted
ness and has everything now in readi-
ness to resume active work in both
mines. The hosting and pumping
machinery has been given thorough
overhauling, everything being found
in the best of W rking order. Men
were put into drifts Monday, and the
work of development will be pushed
vigorously forward.
d. H. Jackson, the able Superin-
tendent of the North Consolidated
Virginia, has received the appoint
ment of Superintendent, and has
been to San Francisco looking
after the necessary supplies for prop
erly furnishing the mines. Mr.. Jack
son is first-class miner and the man
agement of these mines could hardly
have fallen into better hands. We
hope now TO soon hear good reports
Of the developments in both mines.
