DISCOUNT ON BULLION.

Under this head the Phoebe Record Of Sat
friday last says:
The discount ON Phoebe bullion has reached
the alarming rate of % per cent. When the
Dry Valley mill was first started up this last
time the discount was nearly II per cent
since then it has steadily increased until it
has reached the figures above stated. The
Meadow Valley Company has paid in about a
month nearly - 900 in discount on bullion
pretty fair profit in itself and if this rate
does not depreclate they can not possibly
afford to run much longer on screenings, We
suppose, and with very good reason, that the
ether mining interests around Phoebe suffer
the same way, and without decrease i'll the
present rate OF discount the future of tho
mines here can be foretold very easily. The
Silver Bill, instead of being benefit is
detriment, for the very simple reason that
bullion cannot be taken to the mints and
coined, but has to be sold to bankers, who
control the market price of it.
The first thing demanded of the friends of
the Silver Bill in Congress is the passage of
bill providing for the free coinage of that
metal Gold is coined free; and of course
silver shoul be also. Hayes would veto such
an obviously lust bill, of course; but we
have no doubt that Senator Jones friends in
both houses would como to the rescue as they
did at the time of the veto in March last
There is no more Justice or reason in charg
ing the silver bullion producer for minting his
metal than there would be for e1acting
. fee from paper makers for converting their
fabrics into greenbacks, bonds and gold and
silver certificates There should be no delay
in the presentation in and passage by Con
.ress of a free coming silver bill

HOW THE PRESS IS NEGLECTED.

The Reno Gazette of Monday evening re-
fers to an DER true condition of the public
mind toward the newspaper press in the fol-
lowing
The State has made no appropriation to-
wards paying for the publication of proposed
amendments to the Constitution. This little
draw back, however, did not prevent the or
dering of this work, and at the lowest rates.
We begin to believe that newspapers are the
least important of all the aids belonging to
parties or States. In the case of parties
every political striker or ''man av infooence"
always in the nature of personal expenses.
The buncombe peddler or stump speaker, who
is furnished with ideas by the newspapers,
commands high prices for the use of his
tongue, and must be paid. This, too, is in
the nature of expenses. The newspaper,
thank God, has no expenses to pay, and is
therefore liable to reductions varying from
fifty to one hundred per cent. upon its bill
for honest work performed. 1t may be urged
that the newspapers work from two to four
years and bears the party burdens while
politicians are idle, but this fact has no
weight when favorite strikers and dependent
bunmers are to the front.
1t Is about the same way with the State
1t may be said that newspapers do something
to build up States and give them character at
home and abroad. 1t has been believed that
newspapers protected public dignity and pros
perity besides looking after public money.
Be this as it may, we have never known
the time when any of this public money was
used cheerfully to pay the public journal for
its work. We are glad to say, however, that
the public servants in the line of janitors and
authors of relief bills are sure of payment
This is some consolation. And since the
newspaper has no personal expenses, it is
probably a wise provision.

DYING OF EXPOSURE.

The Reno Gazette of Monday relates the
following;
A party of Remedies composed of George
NcLelIand, |. d. Cross and several others
who had been up north on hunting expedi-
ton were camped last Saturday evening at
the Junction, twenty five miles north of town
and about three miles this side of the Sum-
init About six o'clock as they were gathered
around the campfire trying to keep warm,
for the evening was bitter cold, some of the
party thought they heard faint cry for help.
They listened, and it was repeated, as from a
a great distance. Search for the one in need
of succor Immediately begun, and at a
distance of a mile and half from the camp
a middle-aged man was found lying on the
road. He was insensible, partly from cold
and, as it was afterwards learned from hun
ger and exhaustion. The young men lifted
him up and carried him more than a mile to
the house of Mr.. Lent, where the unfortunate
until 3 o'clock in the morning before he came
to himself Then he said his name was
Thomas r. Lineburger, a Pennsylvania
that he had been down with chills and fever
for several months at Chico, California He
had made his way to Susanville, and was
tramping to Reno when the intense cold of
the mountains joined to his weakness and
hunger-for he had eaten nothing since early
morning-had proved too much for him.
Finding that his strength was failing utterly
he shouted for help until he sank uncon-
scious on the road. He had very close call,
for he was almost pulseless when carried into
Lent's.

THE TAX QUESTION.

The Eureka Sentinel, the expositor and
champion of the mining interest in the great
eastern center of the precious metal produc
ing region of our State, commenting upon the
largest question of the hour says; "The State
Of Nevada would be nothing without her
mines. There would be no State of Nevada
without the mines of silver and gold in these
rugged hills. San Francisco would still be
mart for tallow and hides, and little else, but
for the mines of the Pacific coast. And yet
there is a senseless prejudice not only In
greedy San Francisco, but all over the coast,
against the mining interest. Even here in
Nevada, where mono of US could live day but
for the mines, it exists to some extent. 1t is
the result in some cases of dishonesty; in
others of narrowmindedness. The Sentinel
has never trained with either class. At all
times and under all circumstances this jour
nal has been the firm friend of the miner and
the mining interest 1t demands nothing for
the miner that is not fair and right, and it
will not accept less. 1t understands the extra
hazardous risk attending mining, and believes
tudl, lOI Tic SOOu VI HHOlO, VIC illeauoIiS
should be fostered and encouraged To this
end, it also believes, that not one dime in
taxes should be collected from the miner until
mis- claim is developed to paying basis. Then,
and not until then, it would have him pay on
the proceeds of his mine precisely other
people pay, no more and no less. The men
who develop the wealth of the State; who
subdue the deserts and build up the waste
places; who contribute everything to the gen
eral good and prosperity, are deserving of all
respect, OF all encouragement. These are the
miners, who risk their time, their money and
their lives that the rest of us may live. The
man who makes blade of grass grow where
none grew before, and the other man, who
delves deep in to the earth and adds the pro
duct of his toll to the wealth of the world are
the only genuine producers OH the face of the
earth The rest of us are middle men ,leeches
upon society. 1t is a stubborn, patent fact,
ard we cannot get rid of it

MAYNARD AND MoKGAN.-Of the perform
ance of these two boxers the Stage of Monday
says
The glove contest yesterday between Harry
Maynard and Harry Morgan to decide which
was the best man, was the most ridiculous
farce we ever witnessed-so far as Morgan
was concerned. He forced the business on
Maynard from the start, and he got the con-
ceit taken out of him. He is no more to be
compared with Maynard than B1ng Williams
is with Jem Mace, i'll scientific point of view,
and as to sand-well he squawked i'll the
fourth round although the ordinary large
boxing gloves were used The audience, who
had assembled with the understanding that
they were to see interesting scrape, jndg-
ing from the challenges Morgan had issued,
was hugely disguised when the latter showed
the white feather, and many of them yelled
to Maynard to punch HIM good; but Harry
was too magnanimous, and being conscious
Of his own superiority, contented himself by
playing around his antagonist and giving him
bif in the eye whenever he came within
range. Morgan might do pretty well as an
amateur, but he will never see the day that
he can whip Maynard.

DEATH OF A DowAGGn QUEEN.
MdrtG CIristiGha, Wid,.D of Ferdina,d
VIZ, of Spain, Comes to tho Limit Of Her

Mdrin Christiana, Hid no of Ferdinand
VIZ, of SpaiM, Comes to the Limit Of Her
Days.
Ex-Queen Christiana, who died OF We'd
nesday evening at her villa near Sainte-
Adresse, was not the sort of old person for
whom the world will mourn. In lint of
fact, she was soandalous old boly who
would have done great deal better-to
qnote the words of the late Mr.. O'Connor-
had she 'been dead and buried before she
was born" She was the daughter of Francis
/, king of the Two Sicilles; was born at
Naples April u, 1905, and on December IL,
1929, was married to Ferdinand VII, king
OF Spain. The issue of this marriage was
Isabella, some time queen of Spain, and
Louisa, married to the Due de Montpensier
aud mother of the late Queen Mercedes.
Ferdinand died in 1882, and in October of
that year Christiana was made regent, an
Office that she held durin the ensuing seven
years. Forced by popular pressure to alb
dicate, she fled to France in 1910, and not
until ,1845, when Isabella had reigned for
two years in her own right, did she return
tp Spain. In 1854 she was again compelled
to leave the country, and since then-al-
though she has occasionally visited Spain
her home has bsen in Francs.. The two
conspicuous scaulals of her life have been
her marriage of Fern sndo Munoz and her
Infamous bargain with Louis Philippe in
regard to the famous Spanish marriages.
Muuoz was private soldier in the royal
guard with whom she fell in love within
three months after the death of the king,
her husband, and to whom she was privately
married almost Immediately. Eleven years
later, October, 1914, the marriage was made

public and Munoz was created Duke of
Rianzeres. To the credit of this man, SO
highly exalted by royal whim, it must be
said that he was wise in council, modest,
thoroughly manly, and that he graced his
dukedom fully as much as his dukedom
honored him. The marriage, on the queens
part, was love match, and it turned out
well. She bore him six children, three of
whom survive her, and when he died, in
1873, she sincerely mourned his loss. From
the standard of court etiquette her marriage
with this man was objectionable. She
might have taken him as lover in welcome,
but marrying him admitted of no excuse and
was beyond expiration. From the standard
OF commonplace morality most people will
think that the queen deserves commentator
for Drawing public opinion for the sake of
an honorable love. In regard to the part
that she played in the Spanish marriages
nothing may be said in her defense. She
ruined her daughters happiness, and to that
ruin, perhaps, may be traced great portion
of the evils which in late years have fallen
upon Spain. Had Isabella been married
happily, her turbulent subjects would have
been spared the open scandals of her life as
a pretext for revolt. 1t is not too much to
say that in abettiny the marriage of Isabella
to the Duke d Assis, Queen Christiana fell
into deadly sin. But Q old woman has
ended her days now, and her case has gone
up to higher than mortal court. It was
not romantic death. Some weeks ago she
tumbled down stairs in her house in Paris,
and from the fall she never recovered. She
was ordered down to her villa in the suburbs
of Sainte- Adresse, near Havre, in the hope
that the sea air would give her health and
strength. But it has not helped her. She
is dead.

A Suspicious RECEIVER.

TOPEKA, KS. Aug. SIR. D Williams, as
attorney of the Kansas Pacific Railway COM
pany, in the suit to foreclose mortgage on
that road filed petition in the United States
circuit court to-day to discharge Henry Yillar,i,
as one of the receivers of the property of the
company. The petition sets out that Willard
has been unfaithful to the trust, has used his
position for his own pecuniary advancement
and to the detriment of the property in his
hands; that be has made combination with
the bondholders to oppose the corporation. and
that his office is a very offensive and unneces-
sary one. There is also another petition filed
by some of his sureties, who have become
alarmed at the variance between Willard and
his receiver, and who ask to be discharged from
their bonds. IN D
