ORE FROM DELAWARE DIsrRICT.-We have
the Delaware Mining District. Mr.. Hard
wick, well-known as a prospector hereabout,
has long been identified with the mines there
and he and Messrs Gould and Cameron and
other enterprsing gentlemen are interested
in some property there which looks very well
indeed. The ore exhibits free gold, and horn
prospects confirm the richness of it. The
lodges seem to be on the direct trend of the
Comstock, and we have high hopes of hand
some results there The District we are glad
to say, is in Ormsby County.
REPAIRING note that the tonsorial
force employed at Mullers barber-shop are
busily engaged ripping out the old paper and
getting things ready for repairs. Ship-shape
and Bristol fashion will be the word when
the new paint and paper are on. The repairs
are to be very thorough, extending to the
bath house.
PEARSON HAMMOND is on the street again,

THE SIERRA NEVADA-UNION COM
PROMISE

Concerning the compromise which has been
effected between the Bonanza people and the
Sierra Nevada Company, the Gold Hill Ne,Cs
of last evening says: That there has been
compromise between the powers of the
Sierra Nevada and Union Consolidated there
can be no doubt The version of the affair
generally accepted by those on the Comstock
and confirmed in some few instances by pri
vate kilograms is that which gives the Union
Consolidated 43 feet of the 298 feet of dis
puted ground, leaving the Sierra Nevada $50
feet of it and drawing the new line "a feet
south of the incline where the ore body has
been opened up This is the main feature of
the compromise, but others such as the dis
continuation of all suits, and tho use of the
North Consolidated Virginia shaft for mining
purposes by the Sierra Nevada aud no change
of control of that mine, are not to be held IN
too light esteem. The general opinion as e1-
pressed by the general stock dealing public is
that the fact of compromise on almost any
terms is good thing. The people feel that
war in which they have to bear the brunt of
battle on both sides, as it were, and are sure
to get whipped whoever wins, is not profit
able one for them, therefore, the prevailing
sentiment is one of satisfaction that the war
is over and the general feeling one of glad
ness. The confidence in the situation which |
has followed the compromise is worth more
than all else

SHADOW AND SUBSTANCE.

The dust of November is as like the dust
of June as the rains of March are like the
rains of September But there is a season.
sbleness which finds ill expression when the
night is as cold as the night of midwinter and
the shivering earth is bare and dry Mark
Gage, who has come in from a fishing excur-
sion into Hope Valley, says that the trout are
biting there with as much alacrity as in June.
But they herd in the deep holes and are not
to be caught in the ripples as in the earlier
parts of the year. Mark says it is warmer
there than here, albeit the altitude is much
greater But the mountains, in wooded
places, are like to take on snuggish warmth
these Autumn days. Now Is the season
when small boys and girls, fattening their
noses against the windows where toys and
watches are displayed, pick out, each one for
himself, his own particular choice. There is
a good deal of indefniteness in the tender
mind as to what is the distinguishing differ
ence between Thanksgiving day and Christmas
tide, but the zest of gift taking is in nowise
weakened by such confoundngs. A rocking
horse is no less a rocking horse and drum
il not any less drum be it the day of Puri- |
tan feasting, the eve of Christmas or the first
day of the new year. We begin to see evil
dences of preparation for the holiday time.
The millinery shops take on fresher riband-
age; the dress-makers are more largely in
feather and bloom; the shop-men begin to
parade their more tempting wares; and even
crockery and soaps are brought into pictur
esque prominence and scenic like shapes and
attitudes, Why cannot we, taking time for
such preparation is needed, make our new
Opera House the scene of some Christmas
plays and holiday spectaclesi Something in
the pantomine way, coupled with here and
there some carols and some pleasant music

to anticipate merry winter, full of frolic and
gayety. So will our guests, the Legislators

THE SIERRA NEVADA CROSSCUT IN
POPHYRY

The following startling statement is made
by the Virginia Chronicle of last evening: To-
day the report from the Sierra Nevada mine
Ia that the crosscut ON the 2200 level is all
porphyry and as there is no denials, this may
be taken as the fact Bonnemort got back
from San Francisco to-day. Men who are
thoroughly familiar with the work done in
the mine for the past year, say that there is
every reason to believe that the porphyry now
in the crosscut is only "horse, and that
good ore will be found behind it. In support
of this theory they say: ''On the 100 levelthe
foot wall was plainly visible On the 22OO
level a station was opened, and drift run
vest to the foot-wall, the distance being about
80 feet On the 2100, as we all know, the
drifts have not yet gone far enough west to
find the foot-wall. It was calculated that on
the 22OO level (assuming hat the foot-wall
maintained the same angle of declination which
it had on the 100 and 1000 levels), the distance
from the station would be from $50 to $50
feet There is no reason to believe that the
dip of the foot-wall has changed. and therefore
the chances are very much in favor of the
idea that the crosscut will soon pass into ore
again" Mr.. Ballard, one of the foremen of
the Con. Virginia mine, and Mckenzie of the
Ophir, say that the porphyry in the drift is of
that rotten, soapy character. which is very
commonly found in the center of ore bodies,
and not at all like the hard porphyry which
lies on the west wall of the Comstock.

reports some serious cases of sore throat at

worse than an easily manageable form of
sore throat.
The coming of Thanksgiving time finds ex-
preston in the display of fine poultry at the
provision and meat shops. Notably the dis
play of turkeys at Perasich is very fine in
deed. Mitchells Rotisserie makes a very
handsome display of turkeys and green vege-
strawberries in the market for they are very
plenty and very cheap in San Francisco. In
deed, the indications are very favorable to
most propitious and enjoyable holiday.
The display of clothing at Messrs. Koppel
& Platt's is very large, varied and attractive
-seasonable, perhaps, is the more eompre
hensive word. Their stock comprises much
that is the most desirable character of Fall
and Winter goods.
Charley Friend is off for San Francisco to
purchase goods for the holidays silverware,
jewelry, and the like. His taste is most ex-
cellent, and we may expect to see very
handsome display.

can be no doubt that we now
have precisely the same right to resume the
coinage of the dollar Of our daddies" that
we then had to suspend 1t. But IL Is equally
clear that to attempt to resume specie pay
ment without resuming the coinage of silver
would be the very height of Injustice to the
debtor classes. For instance, A owes u q
balance of two thousand dollars on his house
that he purchased five years ago. Silver
was then as good or better than gold A
was then making five dollars day. Since
then the resumption act has been passed !;
gold has been found to be the standard !;
silver has been traduced, viliiied and cheap
ened, until values have shrunk fully fifty
per cent, and A can now earn only two dol
lars and half day. Consequently he must
pay just twice as many days labor for
his house as he supposed he would have to
pay when he bought the house.
Days wages are measured by money BY
throwing paper and silver out of the money
family. as was done or attempted to be done
by the joint operation of the demonstration
act and the resumption act, the money
measures became scarce, and their pur-
chasing power doubled. Five dollars in
gold pays you for two days labor instead
of for only one, rs when you bought your

"To prevent war be always prepared for

are the production of manufactures and
the carrying of the products of her indus
tries to other countries and exchanging
them for the raw produce necessary TO the
employment OF her factories and the sub
sistence of her labOrers. artisans and trades
men These occupations can thrive only in
time OF peace. There is only one thing that
can drive Britain TO war. distractions to
her commerce will rouse her indignation
open her purse, and cause her sword to red
den with the blood of those who have the
temerity to draw lines beyond which her
traffic cannot pass. The time has been when
she would have gone to war TO squclch a
rival. But now she has become 50 power
full through her immense capital that she
hardly fears any permanent rivalry from
otncr nations. The rapid growth Of the
United states was for II long time source

Constitutional Money.

Paper WINS made legal tender as war
measure No one contends that it could lie
done in time of pcacc without an amend

issued are simply promises to pay coin or

true that gold and silver coin is our only
Constitutional money, and that we cannot
make paper representatives of this coin u
legal tender without amending the organic
law, is it not bound to follow that We can
not dcmOnetize either gold or silver coin
without amending the Constitution 1t is
to be much regretted that our statesmen
