A QUESTION OF PRIVILEGE.

The State Superintendent of Public In
ssruction, who writes this leader, and who
has written the articles that have appeared Ill
the APPEAL lately, criticising the action of the
Capitol Commissioners in the matter OF the
State Museum, was authorized to do so and
given carte blanche in the premises by Hon.
Fl. R. Mghels, editor and proprietor. Fur
thermor. Mr.. Mighels endorses heartily and
entirely every thing that has been said in his
paper on this bject. The only regret of the
writer is that the able editor Of the MORNING
APPEAL has been too i'll, pending this contro-
versy to handle the discussion himself. The
people would have been told by him in snch
English as few beside himself in these parts
are masters of, how lightly their interests are
considered The majority of these Com
missioners would have been warned by him
self in words of unmistakable import not to
mutilate, tamper with, or impair the value OF
what our miners aad people at large deem a
highly precious piece of their property. 1t Is
the sw orn and solemn duty of the Snperlnten-
dent of Public Instructions, as ex-otficlO cur
ator OF the Museum to take charge and have
sars of the States mineral specimens. Feeling
that his custodianship of this trust was being
taken out of his hands, partly, if not entirely,
by an i'll advised determination to cripple him
in his office, and, in effect, to do away with
the peoples specimens, which have cost up
wards of $75, 600, and which would be consid-
cred as an ornament invaluable III any mineral
bearing State, he asked for and was granted
the privilege he now enjoys.
AS to politics, there is plainly nothing of ii
in this matter. No discussion in the world
more removed from anything in the
nature of a political crede or issue But is
there any man in Nevada who could have the
etfrontery to question or impugn Mr.. Mighels'
fealty and devotion to his party principles, or
who could suggest anything to him as to the
proprieties of journalism Any effort to
bring his paper into reproach among his own
party by malcontents, on the list of Repub
icans, looks exceedingly ike spitefully try
ing to draw him out of his retiracy from
editorial labor, enjoined by his surgeons, and
forcing him in his present condition of griev-
Gus illness to take up the cudgels and defend
himself from his sick bed.

The Spirit of Prospecting is abroad. 1t
is prompted, no doubt, by waning faith In
the great Comstock lode; but in it also is
manifested an abiding faith in Nevada's truly
eXhaustless mineral resources. The results OF

as beyond its borders The Paradise Valley
country looms up with its mineral richn
The region north of the railroad In Elho
county Is heard from almost every few days,
giving promise of renewed find greater activ-
lty in the near future. OF rich quartz ledge
struck between Boise and idaho cities, the
Idaho City Wortd speaks as follows: We
saw some specimens Of rock last evening from
the ledge recently located this side of the
summit between here and Boise City. They
were full of gold, far surprising in richness
anything we ever saw before. The ledge has
been mined twenty-five feet in length and
ten feet deep. The ledge is two feet wide,
and the ore will mill 81 200 or 81 800 at
least The same company have located
another ledge short distance southwest of
the bonanza that will yield ore it is estimated
800 per ton. Mr. Morse also informs us
that Andy Trash has discovered gold mine
in the vicinity. From what We can learn,
there are many lodges in that section that
have no: been prospected, and the chances
are that at no distant day large mining
camp will spring IN there.

PoLLARpANA.-S. M.Pollard, accompanied
byJ II. Shuck, as agent, left on yesterday
mornings stage for Cornucoria: Sam viii
commence her featuring campaign at the
Horn: from thence he will 90 to Columbia,
and her third lecture he proposes to deliver
in this town. An idea of the character OF her
discourse can be formed from his posters,
which read as follows: " s. NJ Pollard, the
Female Husband, will deliver a lecture at
-, OH evening. The Story of Her
Life will constitute the subject of her dis
course The first portion of the lecture will
be delivered in male attire, and the last half
In female apparel The utmost propriety
will be observed. Nothing of indelicate
nature will be introduced, and not a word
will be uttered that will tinge the cheeks of
the most refined OF fastidious lady" We
have read the manuscript of her autobiogra-
ply, from which We presume the lecture is
compiled. 1t is an interesting story of a
strange and eventful life, and if the selec-
tions have been judiciously made and artis
tically woven together, in point of interest it
will surpass the stock in trade of the average
modern lecturer This is no humhg Pollard,
whether a man a woman or AN it, actually
lives and moves and has being. The said
persons story is one of singular interest; it
has been written, and will, ere long, be pub
l.shed Those who crave for the highly
unique in the way of sensational literature
will be delighted with it. Why Pollard mar
ried o woman, and why he, she or it did other
remarkable things, is fully explained in the
forthcoming biography. Pollard voted at the
last election. and took an active part in Tus-
carora politics She has also done other things
which are usually done by men, Now, what
staggers the skeptic who is disposed to think
that Pollard's story is a creation of John
Dennis fancy, is that he has been living in
the glare of public noteriety for more than
two years among the reckless vicissitudes of
g mining camp. There is no statute of Nevada
that covers the extraordinary case Pollard
has been tried for "false PRESERVATION" and
has come out untouched by the courts. He,
she or it, however, is confined to Nevada
Should Pollard go into any other State the
problem would be solved by municipal law

Eureka, April %. 1879
To A. J. Bryant, Mayor, and Relief Com
mittee, San Francisco: Gentlemen-In the
name of the sufferers and citizens of Eureka,
| We thank you for the noble aid you have ex-
tended to us III our hour of trouble. and think
no further aid is necessary.
The following note was also sent to the gen
tlemen named:
EUREKA, April %, 1879
To Prof. Wedeles, John McGrath and 9th
ers: Gentlemen reply to your generous
offer to give grand concert on Ruby Hill,
for the benefit of the sufferers by the late fire,
we would say that we think that We will have
sufficient means, when all is in, without
further taxing the generosity of the people.
Thanking you, we remain respectfully yours,

The grateful and loud Eurekans will not
allow others who could spare still further in
their need to be taxed any more for their re-
lief The above from the Sentinel, is the key
note to the manlness of the afflicted city.
PROVED FATAL.-We clip from the Reno
Jourral the following particulars of the shoot
ing at the Justice mine which has resulted in
the death of Mr.. Clark:
Adam Clark, whose precarious condition
we spoke of yesterday because of lock jaw hav
ing set in, died at l o'clock Thursday morn
Justice mine some ten days ago, and shortly
afterward came to Reno staying at the resi-
dence of his brother-in law w. ID. Philips
Tuesday morning he took notion to return
to Virginia. He then felt stiffness about
his jaws, but attributed it to cold. At the
Mound House he was taken with spasms, aud
continued to sink until death relieved him of
his troubles BIZ. Philips and his wife have
gone to attend the funeral, which takes place
to-day.
Adam Clark, who was shift boss at the Jus.
tice mine was shot in the thigh by Hugh J.
Brady at the Justice works at an early hour
on the morning of the IL instant. The cir
cumstances of the shooting of Clark by Brady
are rendered again interesting by the sudden
and unexpected termination of the wound.
1t appears that Brady, who was employed
as a miner, entered the Justice works at the
hour stated in drunken condition, and was
told by Clark that he could not 60 below
Some angry words were exchanged by the
men, and Clark knocked Brady down with
lantern. Brady then left the works swearing
vengeance on Clark Returning soon after
wards with pistol, he fired at Clark, with the |!
effect stated. Brady then ran toward the |
door of the works and met William Elliott |
sho eapostulated with him. Brady pointed
the pistol at Eliiott's head and fired. Elliott |
knocked the pistol up and the ball entered the !
roof. Brady is now in Jail having been sur |
rendered by his bondsnen. The death of |
Clark makes the charge against Brady that Of
murder, the old law being that if wounded |
person die within year and day from the
lime of receiving the wound, from any cause
arising from the same, the person inhicting it
s subject to trial for murder.

AN ODD SIGHr.-Whlle the FIRE was at its
hight Friday night, flock of geese came
flying over the town, and evidently attracted
by the light, circled around in plain sight for
over half an hour. The singular action of the
birds was witnessed and commented on by
hundreds. Rome was saved by the cackling
of goose, but in this case they were of no
particular help, the flock merely occupying a
position in the gallery as deadhead spectators
of the exhibition. They were birds of evil
men-Eureka Leader.

As AN instance of bread cast upon the waters
which will not return after many days,
the following from the Eureka Sentinel, with
regard to some unworthy recipients of aid
after the late conf1rgration is in order: "The
Relief Committee since its formation has per-
formed vast amount of good work. When
there are so many, however, whose necessities
are of such characters as to demand immed-
late relief it is impossible for them to investi
gate individual cases, and consequence
they have been gross y imposed upon i'll many
instances. One man, who was assisted to the
extent of $25 in cash, deposited it i'll a faro
bank, and expressed no anxiety concerning
the interest. A woman, who was q wen a like
amount, celebrated her good fortune by get
ting uproariously drunk and raising the devil
generally. Another person, who was given
ticket for large amount of goods, expressed
herself as being just that amount ahead Of the
damned sons thinkers. 1t is not in the pow
er of the committee to guard against the de-
captions of such candidates for the peneten-
tiary, unless another committe should be ap-
pointed whose duty would be to examine and
report upon each case, which would necessar-
lily involve a vast amount of labor. Should
some of these miscreants be detected and
marched out of town to the tune of the
"Rogue's March" it would have wholesome
