THE. CITIZENS MEETING
Some Suggestions Relative 10 the
Water supply.

A meeting of the citizens of Winnie
mucca was held in the Courthouse last
evening, pursuant to request of Hose
Company No. |.
h. ID. Kelley was elected Chairman
and r. w. Lewis Secretary.
II. j. Barnes stated that the object
in calling the meeting was to direct at
tention to the water supply, which, in
consequence of the unusually dry Win
ter, was almost certain to be inadequate
to,the demand during the Summer.
Mr. Kemp asked for information on
the water question, and if there was a
contract between the town and the
water company; also what disposition
had been make of the taxes collected
last year for fire purposes.
Mr.. Wood stated that, while he was
not authorized to speak as a representa-
tive of the Water Company, he could
assure the citizens that another and a
larger reservoir would be built by the
Company Immediately.
Mr. Kelley explained that the special
tax collected last year for fire purposes
had been expended in the purchase of
hydrants, and that the tax now levied
for fire purposes was designed to be ex-
pended IN building hose house and
purchasing more hydrauts.
Mr. DeSaussure moved that com
mittee of three be appointed by the
Chair to draw up resolutions suggest
ing to the Water Company the necessity
OF increasing the capacity of the present
reservoir or building new one, and to
examine the source of our water supply
and make such other suggestions as the
committee might deem proper.
Mr. Lewis moved to amend by in
creasing the committee to FIVE persons,
with instructions to report at public
meeting TO be held in the Courthouse
next Monday evening.
The resolution, as amended, was
adopted, and Messrs. DeSaussure,
Naramore, Gibson, Lewis and Barnes
were appointed said committee.
Remarks were made by Messrs.
Drais, Lewis, Wood, Reinhart. and
others, after whice the meeting adj
journed until next Monday evening at
u o'clock.

, THE ROBERTSON PROCESS.
The Chemicals Used IN. Treasing Rebel
IiOus Ores.


What is called the Robertson process
OF treating rebellious ore is the inven-i
ton of John A. Robertson of Oakland,
California. 1t is so simple and uncom-
plicated that one wonders it was not
thought of before. The Reno Gazette
says that w. Fl. Tredway of that place
has experimental with ores from num-
Der of mines, all of them more or less
rebellious, with uniform success. The
cost of working ores is trifling and all
kinds of ore yields to the same treat
ment. Mr.. Tredway's method is to
break the ore up into small pieces, after
which he roasts it in an ordinary porsa-
bic assay furnace of iron. When it is
sufficiently roasted, it is thrown, hot,
into a chemical bath, made by dissolv-
ing salt, bluestone and syenite of potas
SUM in water: The ore is then washed
off with cold water, placed in nina
ture pan mill, and ground to fine pulp,
quicksilver being put in to amalgamate
the precious metals. After roasting, the
ore is soft and brittle, and grinds up
easily. The pulp is then PANIED in an
ordinary gold pan, and the amalgam
retorted in simple retort made
especially for prospectors use. The
erection of furnace and treating the
ores with the chemical bath would be
all the changes necessary in an ordinary
stamp mill, for working ores by this
process. Reduction works ON the Rob
ertson plan are in successful operation
in Sacramento, with capacity for
about one ton per hour.

The Times Review is informed that
the mines in Good Hope District are all
looking well. The ledge in the Aurora
has widened out considerably of late,
and the prospect for paying mime is
more fattering than ever. From the
U & | mine some exceedingly rich ruby
ore is being extracted, exceeding in
value the samples recently tested in
Salt Lake City. Work in the Buckeye
progresses slowly, the rock becoming
harder as the drift is advanced. A rich
ledge was recently discovered in the
district and will be worked this season.
All of the men in camp feel greatly en-
,couraged by the late developments.

The Public Debt Bill.

BEFORE the recess of the Extra session
was taken, the Senate in Extra session
promptly passed the bill for the settle
ment of the public debt as it had previ-
ously done in the regular session.
This bill was taken up in the House
on Saturday when the amendment Of
fered by Mr.. Moffett was discussed, and
was still under consideration when the
House adjourned on that day. The ma
jority of the people desire the passage OF
this bill, and if the members of the LIE.
gisl AZURE wish their constituents to greet
them with the plaudit, "well done, good
and faithful servants" they will prompt
ly pass this bill, and then adopt a joint
resolution, as we suggested last week,
that they will not accept any pay toI
the Extra Session, which was uselessly
encessitated by the course pursued by the
obstructionists, and which, unless this
action, thus suggested be adopted, will
impose an expense upon the State Of
$4,000.
We hope that those who were op'
posed to the Extra Session will In
sist on the adoption of resolution ao'
to accept any pay for it.
We think that such is the course
which should be adopted, and hope thai
such resolution will be offered, that thu
people may know, if it should fail o
adoption, who favored and who oppos
ed it. Let the friends of such resolu
ton press it earnestly, and let there b.
no lodging or evasion.

THE MOFFETT BELL-PUNcH.-T
Boston Pilot speaking of the bell
punch in Virginia says:
The Moffett bell-punch, after two
years trial in the bar rooms Of Virginia,
is set down by that State as "a nuisance
to the people and disappointment to the
Treasury" The collection Of taxes by
means Of the punch has been ssaReful-
ly unjust and irregular Eleven cities
and towns in the State, with popula-
ticG of ISL, 900, have paid tax of $142.-
600, while pinety-nine counties, with a
population of $50, 900, have paid tax
of only $4,000. The disproportion in
wealth and and population Will not &C.
count for this in any manner or form,
and the inevitable conclusion arrived at
is that the 'i6ranking" of the bell in the
register is almost wholly neglected in
the counties. The liquor sellers have
been forced, to pay $3.50 for the Mof-
felt registers-eaeh one costing SIG
while the net increass of revenue over
the old system of specific licenses has
been little over $4,000. This is the
result after all the extravagant predic.
tions of Dr. Moffett and the advocates
of the register. who claimed that it
would support the State Government.
the public schools, SD go far towards
paying the State debt.

KIND WORDS FOR Gov. HOLIDAY.
The New York Journal of Commerce,
in referring to the passage by the Senate
of Virginia of the bill to compromise the
public debt of that State (Which is &C
cepted in advance by the bondbolders)
and its probable passage by the House
of Delegates says:
fEor this better state of feeling in Viz
Qinia thanks are due to Gov. Holiday,
who assumed the responsibility of call
ing an extra session Of the Legislature
to grapple with aud dispose of the debt
question. It took courage and faith to
do this, but the Governor has both these
qualities. Undismayed by threats and
unseduced by batteries and promises, he
has boldly taken the true path, and if
the people of that St,te know their own
interests they will gladly follow him.
With Virginia opposed to reputation,
the progress of that pestilence should be
checked in the South"
This is well said by our New York
contemporary, for the value Of whole
some example by Virginia at this time
in such a case cannot be overestimsted.

DEATH OF ELIHU BURRITT, THE
LEARNED BLACKSMITH. THE Balti-
more San says Elihu Burritt, the learn
ed blacksmith" who died recently at
his home in New Britain, Conn.,, was
born December 8, 1910. He was the son
OF shoemaker. was apprenticed to a
smith when II years old, and then
began the pathological studies which
have earned him SO much respect and
consideration throughout the world, in
stlgated, in the first instance, by pious
curiosity to read the Scriptures in their
original texts and tongues.
AT the outbreak of the civil war he
seemed Mortified at the contemplation OF
the bloodshed and internecine strife
that impended, and, in most pathetic
appeal to his old reforming" associ-
ates, which was Of course rejected with
ridicule,) proposed that the people of
the North should settle the difficulty by
buying all the slaves of the South and
setting them free-and which, as the
result proved, would have cost far less
than the war itself and saved US all its
horrors. Mr.. Burrit was true philan-
thropist, and never sold his sympathies
IN the market to the highest bidder.
Hence he never became rich, nor did
he attain to distinguished political hon
Ors.

The SpeakerShip.

The chances are strongly in favor OF
Randall's nomination as Speaker. We
hope he will get the nomination. He is
an efficient, cool-headed officer such an
one as the democratic House will need
to keep it in the proper grooves oflegis-
lative action. We fear his defeat would
prove greatly detrimental to the Demo-
cratic party, just as it is now getting in
to power for the first time in eighteen
years. Southern members, especially
should not be exigeant in this matter,
and ought to be satisfied with the elec-
ton of such an able and true democrat
as Randall has proved himself to be.
