The West case, which has kept sew

for several days, has been disposed of,
so far as the evidence is concerned, but
the lawyers have not yet made their

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
A WARM BERTH.
Four Tramp. caugh. in. a Wool Car.

Yesterday Deputy Sheriff Pryor was
requested by the railroad aathorities to
search certain cars in freight train No.
7, which arrived here in the afternoon,
for 'dead heads" Tlse cars specified
were locked and the seals bore the Sac
ramento stamp. The first car opened
and searched contained wool, between
bales Of which four able-bodied men
were found in a sweltering condition.
The interior OF the car was suffocatingly
hot, even with the doors open, and the
free riders enjoyed the luxury of a
warm berth while crossing the mount
aims. They were provided with plenty
of provisions to last them to Omaha,
but their supply of water was very
limited. The officer searched them and
found some skeleton keys in their
possession, but, as the cars are locked
on the outside, of course the keys
could not be used to open the door
when they desired to get out. The
supposition, therefore, is that they
came through from Sacramento in the
wool car. A dark cloth vest and pair
of pants were also found concealed in
the car. The men were taken to Jail
to await the arrival of officers from
Sacramento.

BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
Something About the WashOe County
Claim.
Sacramento

The Board of County Commissioners
met yesterday, persuant to- adjourn
menr, all the members being present,
and devoted the day to the considera
ton of claims against the county. The
claim of Washoe county, amounting to
$685. rs, was allowed. This bill
originally amounted to nearly $1,000
and the Board OF Commissioners re-
duced it to less than $1,000. Washoe
brought suit in the Second Judicial Dis
trict Court and obtained Judgment for
1858. This county appealed the case.
to the Supreme Court, and that tribunal
reduced the judgment to $3,02S, which,
with interest and costs, amount to
what the Commissioners allowed yes
terday, that is 1851 81 The Com
missioners here, by refusing to allow
the bill, showed that Washoe county,
in the opinion OF two of the three
Judges OF the Supreme Court, charged
S6l6 So more than it was entitled to,
and, in the opinion Of Judge Beatty,
still more; but it cost Humboldt sew
eral hundred dollars more than Washoe
claimed in the beginning to establish
that fact

The Wool Business.

Nathan Levy shipped three car loads
of wool east last evening, and his pur-
chases of the article this week exceed
500 pounds, which is now being
baled for shipment. He has purchased
this season about 100000 pounds of
wool and is without doubt the heaviest
wool buyer in the State.

The Astoria and Winnemucca Rail-

The San Francisco Stock Report says:
A permanent organization Of the Asto-
ria and Winnemucca Railroad Company
has been effected, and at arecent meeting
ofits projectors a resolution was adopted
authorizing the President and Vice
President TO employ and put engineers
in the field at once. One-halfs Of the
capital stock has already been SUBSIDIZED.
This road, if completed, will traverse
the State of Nevada North OF Winnie
mucce, on the Central Pacific, into and
across Oregon, not only bringing large
portion OF the great agricultural region
OF that State into railroad communca-
ton, but opening up an extensive min
eral-bearing country in Northern Ne

EDITOR SILVER SrArE:-The glorious
4th has passed; the usual display OF
eloquence and fireworks; the long pro-
cession, the people adorned in gorgeous
raiment, preceded by the footing of
brass horns, the playing Of fife and
beating of drum, to the music of "Hail
Columbia" yankee Doodle, ''Rally
Around the Flags" and Marching
through Georgia" The authors of
these songs and the occasions which
first called them forth have long since
passed.; yet we remember and honor
them at each recurring anniversary
of the nations birth. All is quiet,
everything serene, and citizens are re-
turniag to their usual avocations. Even
the voracious and pestiferous grass
hopper, which has been playing the
devil with some of the barley fields in
the valley, condescends to stay hts
rapacious NAV, so that the farmers
might celebrate the 4th. Now all have
gone
BACK TO BUSINESS;
The hopper to his oats, the farmer to
his hay, the prospector to his indi-
cations, and the miner to his tunnels
and inciines. By the way, | had the

THE MOUNT ROSE MINES,
Commonly called the Paradise mines.
The Bullion mine is mountain of good
milling ore. Recently three men in
80 days, with eight pounds of powder,
extracted from the mine three hundred
tons of ore, which mills from $40 to $50
per ton, the same being worked at the
Sedan mill. The Paradise mine, north
east about 900 feet from the Bullion,
recently struck high grade ore at the
bottom of one of their shafts, proving
beyond doubt that our mines do go
down below the l00-foot level. The
next is the Silver Wedge. 400 feet to
the east The ledge is six feet wide,
and shows good ore. The Mount Rose
Company have now six feet of ledge,
two feet of which is high grade ore.
Eight miles to the west of Spring City
is the Solid Silver, mine that will,
from present indications, come to the
front as one of the good mines of the
West Range of Paradise. Three miles
to the northwest, at the head of Will
low creek, is situated that celebrated
mine, the Ethan Allen, the lucky
owners of which have started double
track incline, ten feet breast, all in.

show you IN what estimation the
Willow. Creek mines are held here, l
will state that Mr.. Street, who is far
seeing. sagacious. man, commenced
making toll-road across the Paradise
range of mountains to Willow Creek,
which will be open for travel about the
first of August. 1t is rumored that
there will be stage line put on this
route as soon as the road is completed

Suicide Of Mary Ann Biddlp.
TELFoRD's, Tenn, July 7, 10.

TELFoRD's, Tenn, July 7, 70.
Mr.. EDITOR: At about noon
to-day, maiden lady by the name
of Mary Ann Biddle suicided by
hanging herself. She was a sister
of Newton Biddle, and niece of
Joshua Biddle, living about one
mile west of this place. For some
time the deceased has been an in
valid, and considered somewhat in
sane. A short time ago her mind
was considerably distressed on hear
ing of the death of her sister, and
to-day the family of her brother,
with whom she was living, were hor.
rifed at finding her corpse swing
ing in her room, where she had,
by her own hand, committed
self-destruction. She was Of
about the age of IS years, and was
a member of the M. E. Church
1t was a great shock to the com
munity when they received the in
telligence of this sad affair, and il
is creating considerable excitement
in and about the quiet little burg o
| Telford's.
The family connection of thu
deceased is large, and we sympa'
thize with them in their remarkabl,
and sad bereavement. LUCIAN.

CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS.

The Democrats are going through
their annual sweat about Republi-
can campaign assessments. They
have always borrowed a great deal
of unnecessary trouble on this sub
ject. Every man of sense, who
knows anything about politics,
knows that it takes some money to
run a political campaign. Docu-
ments must be printed, letters writ
ten, postage paid, and the expenses
Of speakers must be met. These
all take money. Democratic cam
paign stories and Democratic dema-
gogism must be exposed. Some
body must furnish the means of
doing this. IF a Federal office
holder, one who enjoys the honors
and emolument8 which come from
his party being in power, wishes to
contribute money to be used for
political purposes in a legitimate
way he has a perfect right to do So.
To make his tenure of office depend
ent upon such contribution is quite
another thing. This would be
wrong, and under Republican ad,
ministrations it has not been done.
1t has not been done under the
present administration and was not
under Gen. Grant, all the asser
tons of Democratic politicians tt
the contrary notwithstanding.
Of course the Democrats woul
be pleased to know that Republ
cans could not raise campaig
funds. But they may as well res
easy on that point. The Republi
cans do not expect to raise none,
for corruptly buying votes, but the
will put documents in the hands c
the people exposing the tricks an
sophistry Of their adversarie
and will find money to pay for i
They do not look alone to Republ
can office-holders for contribution
but will get them from busine
men and others who are Repub
cans, and who believe in the JUST
of their cause strong enough
spend a little money in a legitima
way for its success. -e.-"

THE TRAMP NUISANCE.

We have our moonshinerS in this
section, who. for the sake of adven-
ture and gain, manufacture illicit
whisky in the mountain gorges and
defy the authorities who stand
ready, with unerring aim, to send a
bail through the body. of the first
revenue officer who approaches their
rural retreat, but we have never
been afflicted with the tramp nui-
sance as some of our more highly
favored neighbors have. Our dis
patches this morning give the par
ticulars of the first organization of
tramps Of which we have heard.
In the great State Of New York
in a few miles of the far
famed Hudson, these lazzaroni
have settled down, thrown
out pickets as a regular military
force, and from their chosen head
quarters sally forth in the adjacent
countries to rob the farmers and
terrorize the community. They are
a dangerous lot, far worse than our
moonshiners. Short work should
be made of them. They should b.
arrested at once, at all hazards, and
if in resisting they should be sho
down on the spot, so much the
better.
