legislature in 1885; became auditor of
the state in 1889; chosen supreme Judge

has ever represented two states in the
United States senate since the forma-

attainments possible under our free In.

Prospective Fate of the Pension Bill.


Washington, Jan. 21.-There is much
speculation as to what action will be
taken by the president on the arrears
in pensions bill. The commission
er of pensions now estimates that not
less than $50, ,OO0,O 900 are required to
meet its provisions, and Secretary
Sherman places the figures at $3.50, 600,
600. No one has yet indicated where
the money is to come from, and as
President Hayes is not a candidate for
reelection, there seems to be consider
able probability that he will veto the
measure on the ground that without
some congressional provision for addi-
tional taxation or for the issue of bonds
to raise the money it itthreatens to bank.

THE election of Col Geo. G. Vest,
of Missouri, to the United States sem

and pluck can accomplish. The St.
Louis Iynies-Journal says of him: "He
doubles his stake every time. He
played for congress in the seventh dis
trict and lost-or gave it away. He
doubled the stake and played for gov
ernor, and lost again. Again he
doubled, played for the United States
senate and won. If he hadn't been
elected this time, two to one that he
would have doubled the stake again,
played for the presidency in 1880 and
won. Luck and pluck are good things
to have around in political ventures. :"

Silver State District, where he has
been at work for some time on the Blue
Bell ledge. He informs us that they
are sinking. with day and night. shifts
ON the Blue Bell mine, near the Silver
Bill line. They have attained depth
of 40 feet in the shaft. The vein mat
ter is much softer than nearer the sur
face, and the ledge is fully four feet
wide. The ore is increasing in guam
tity and improving in quality, and the
prospects are very hattering. There is
not drone in the district. Everybody
is at work, and several of the claims
are looking first rate.

How Paradiser Got There and
what HE Says About Ii.

PARADISE, April 10.
EDITOR SILVER STATE:-I left this
place for Jungo District on the LIST day
of April, travelled via. Pete Flynns,
Cane Springs, Sod House, and Bottle
Creek, where | struck the old Pueblo
road, followed that road south Is miles,
turned to the right and struck the
north side of the north end of the
Antelope range, where the mines are
situated. The mines are four miles
distant from the Pueblo road, twelve
miles northeast of Dunshee's Springs,
eighteen miles southeast of jackson
Creek, fifteen or twenty miles north of
Central District, forty miles, via. Blue
Mountains, from Winnemucca, and
! seventy-five miles southwest of this
place. Country formation is shale and
granite; character of ore, copper sill
yer glance. The. principal mines are
the Yellow Jacket, Blue Jacket, Jungo
and Merrill. There is no grass here, and
| it is seven miles to water.
The word Jungo means suppositious
city in one corner of hades or hell.
The place was named by Professor VIM.
Merrill, who is also the local recorder.
| returned ON the 9th, and met men
going to the new strike on horseback,
in wagons and afoot. l got there in
good time; but under the circumstances
did not locate any claim. In conclu-
sion | viii say that for downright hard
business rains that country can beat
the State. I have not got dry yet.

Postal Affairs.
HOWARD.

Important changes have been made iii
postal affairs since April LIST. There
is an entire change of foreign mail rates
under the provisions of the Universal
Postal Union Convention, concluded at
Paris June lst 1873. Several changes
have also been made in the Domestic
service, under the new classification
bill. The Postmaster General is au-
thorized by Act of Congress to furnish
for the public use letter sheet envel-
ope, a double postal card, said card to
be so arranged that it may be forwarded
and returned; also double envelope
for the same purpose. Full particulars
of these and other changes will be fur
nished the public by Postmaster Robins
or his assistant, w. H. Lissner.

Notwithstanding the fact that Jack
Roach, the famous monte sharp of the

frequently numbered among the dead,
and forgotten by the newspapers, he
enjoyed the rare pleasure of perusing
his own obituary notices, thus acquiring
an accurate knowledge of the estimation
in which he was held by many of the
people of the coast. A practical

MOUNT ROSE MING DISTRICT,
April 9th, 1879.
Ed. SILVER STATE:-Not having seen
much of late in your valuable paper con-
corning this district, | herewith try to
give you a few items concerning the
mines and the good people of "Bung-
Eye" Yesterday being day of leis-
ure, visited the various mines of note.
FIRST | called ut
THE PARADISE ComPANY's WORKS,
And found that partial suspension Of
work had taken place, owing to their
dumps being filed with ore, and will
not resume in full force until such time
as their new mill viii be well near com
pletion. 1t is estimated that the Com
pany have now near 1000 tons of high
grade ore on the dumps.
THE BULLION AND MUTUAL
Lawsuit now pending caused the en-
ployment of some twenty more miners
yesterday, in tracing the vein from one
claim to the ether. The ground is
valuable, and the tracing exposed sew
eral very rich places on the vein. There
is no doubt but that at the conclusion
of the suit now pending, there will be a
large force OF men put to work.
THE BIG PRIZE COMPANY
Continue to take out high grade ore,
and the Sedan Mill is running steadily
on the same.
TIE MINERS DELIGHT,
Located by Nichols and Curry, was
next in my path. Here found a vein
somewhat over three feet in thickness
on the surface, and shaft sunk to a
depth Of eighty-live feet. Within the
past few days they encountered a body
of ore at the bottom of the shaft, which
from certificates Of assay / saw of the
same, ranges from 500 to 1928 per ton,
and is, in the near future, destined to
be one of the leading mines of the camp.
Next, / visited the Mammoth, or
