The AUTHORS CARN1vAL.-Last year San
Francisco held an authors carnival fer the
benefit of the poor. Chas. E. Locke, the
atrical manager Of musty reputation, was
placed in charge of the affair, and by shrewd
management managed to direct goodly por
ton of the coin current into his own pockets.
The press called upon him to disgorge, but he
never gave up cent. After all the hue and
cry raised, together with an exposure of his
rascalities, tits hard to conceive how he should
again succeed this year in being placed in
charge of the same affair. 1t appears that the
directors concluded to retain him ON the
ground that having detected all of his meth
DDS of double dealing last year they would be
better able to watch him this year. All this
sounds quite PLAUSIBLE, but when they get
through with Locke this time, or rather when
he gets through with them, they will say,
1--WE never really knew him until new."

NATURAL GAs.-The Enterprise says that .
natural gas we'll has been discovered at the
head of Pyramid Lake and the jet being fred

Natural gas caused by the decomposition of
vegetable matter can be found in almost any
old pond. 1t can be collected by filling bot
tie with water, placing tin funnel in the
neck and holding it under water near the bot
tom while the mud is agitated with a stick
Bubbles of gas arise which displace the water
in the bottle. 1t must then be corked under
water and quill inserted. Touch match to
the ori6ce and the gas will burn brilliantly for
several minutes. At last accounts some nine
lets were burning near Pyramid Lake. The
water doubtless runs under the ground and
in the subterranean passages leaves and other
vegetable matter are collected on the bottom
and the decomposition produces the gas. If
such gas could be utilized and conducted
away in pipes the consumers would be happy.

The Elks Independent charges contem'

latter case it is an unfair piece of Journalism.

The RAILROAD AND TIE RANCHERs.-In
Storey, Lyon, Ormsby and Washoe counties,
the assessment of the V. & T. Railroad has
been fixed at $15 900 a mile. a reduction of
SIC, 900 from the assessment of last year. 1t
is claimed that this is just reduction from
the fact that last years estimate of $25, 900
mile was made on basis of net income of
$725, 900. This years assessment was made
On . basis of net income of 1862. 600.
Now if this is a fair propositlsn as claimed by
the company and allowed by the assessor,
then the ranchers of Carson valley, whose
crops this year have been almost total failures
should be allowed reduction. The assessor
however, holds that the lands have not dete-
rioriated in value, and although the bad
weather and early frosts have ruined the
crops and cut down the farmers profits, he
must still pay as much as when the harvest
was full and the yield paying one, Although
the travel on the V. 4 T., has fallen of con
siderably and the freight traffic has been re-
duced, the track, road bed, locomotives and
cars, are just as good as last year. In the
matter of business they have had bad luck
lust as the farmers have had. The assess
ment of the road is reduced, but the assess
nent on the farmers lands remains the same
Either the farmer Is paying too much or the
road too little.

SHARON AND THE BANK.-The fact that
Sharon stood by tho Bank of California after
the break is held as greatly to his credit by
the Nevada press. No California paper is
ever foolish enough to make any such state
nent. Sharon was liable not only for the
stock he held but for every dollar Of his prop.
erty fer the liabilities of the institution.
After the break it was discovered that the
bank had net been properly incorporated
under tho law, and Col. Barns, the banks at.
torney, informed the stockholders, of which
Sharon was the heaviest. that by reason of
this blunder in the incorporation they could
be held by the depositors for every dollar of
the banks liabilities. 1t was after learning
this fact that Sharon "threw himself into the
breach"

MT. McCaherty's Views on Division of
 the County.

the County.
 On Friday, the 2jth day of August, 1880, the Democrats of Pima county met in this city in convention, and among others nominated John Me CafTerty, of ArIvaca, for member of the House. Among other resolutions passed by the aforesaid Democratic party, by the delegates there assem Q bled, was the following:
 '' Resolved, That our Legislative delegation are hereby instructed, in the event of their election, to pass a law dividing the county, establishing the line of the new county somewhere west of the San Pedro River"
 In due tune NIT. McCafferty was elected, but ii would seem from the following, which appeared in the Star of Sunday, over Mir. McCailerty's sig nature, that he has no respect for the platform, and does not intend to live up to the text laid down by his party:
 |" As the question Of the division of Pima county, like a speck from out our southern horizon in md summer, rises from out a repugnant reservoi. of idiotic aspirations, our taX-payersr like residents of our adoberoOfed hab- itations, are now preparing against this whirlwrnd of unnecessary taxa tiOn.
 That there is territory enough within the present boundary lines of our country for the creation of anoth- CT county, is generally conceded, but that there is a resident population sufficient for the maintenance of TWO county seats, without an increase of taxation tO the people of both such counties. is not conceded. Ip fact, the taxpayers of the county. and more especially those residing in and along the San Pedro Valley, claim the pres ent rate of taxation is more than II should be therefore, 1t seems tO me, no member of the next Legislature could be regarded as a friend of our peoDle who would raise his voice or east his vote in favor of an act which must necessayialy increase the taxa ton of every producer in the county.
 " The question" says MT. McCatf- erty, " like a speck from out our southern horizon in mid summer rises from out a repugnant reservoir of id- iotic asperatiOns.
 That is rather ruff on the party which nominated MT. Mccall ertv. and from whom he accepted the nomination-as they suppOsed-in good faith. But NIT. McCafferty sets himself up above the party and in substance tells it that he has no re spect for the platform, and that he will. now that he is elected, do as he p,eases. Had he have said this before the election, as it was his duty to have done under the circumstances, he would without doubt have been elect ed-to stay at home. However, as we are not responsible for Mr. McCatter- tvs election. we leave him Co fight It out with his own party.

Curry's Brass Mine

Our readers will remember that some months ago Bob Cameron and John J. Curry came into camp from a prospecting trip, looking very Owlish and exhibiting samples of rock from a tremendous vein they had discovered. Assays subsequently, showed q value of several cents a ton. From the ap- pearance of the samples IL was sus- pected at the time that the boys had located the levee at the north end of Oneida Lake; but we know now that they actually found something, and are not surprised that they should wear a puzzled a mystiiied look. 9th CT parties have since jumped the claim and extracted a large amount of ore, which. if it be anything at all is near lv pure brass. The metal has been tested in various ways, both here and in BoGie. and the result is the same brass. It is proposed 10 form a com panv 10 work this metallurgical mon strositv. and tO manufacture its pro- duct into merchantable articles. One of the parties concerned remarked 10 the Index man: |" We've stuti enough in sight tO fence the whole u---d country with brass candlesucks ten feet high" The original discoyerers have no doubt missed q good thing. We asked Bob why he didn't stay and try to do something with his discov- cry. Then his nose twinkled and his eyes got green. Said he: co You do not know what suffered on that trip

 We announced a few weeks ago that an important strike had been made at Pinto Creek. This week we are enabled to give some particulars. Two years ago, 1t will 6e remembered by the old settlers, quite a furOre was created in Globe by the announce ment made by man named Dunn of a wonderful gold-flOat found at Pinto Creek, and he backed sup his state ment by the production of some of the float. The writer of this article made assays from it, one of which went S23, ,OOO in gold and over S1GOO in silver. The country was searched for the ledge from which it came, but 1t could not be found. And so two years passed away, with occasional hunts for the ledge by the best prospectors in the district, one of whom had act- uallv cut through it and thrown out ore in which gold was visible. A lew days ago John Reiss, the owner of the property, was sinking a shaft on a vein of galena that crops upon 1t, when his attention was called to some ore which was being taken from cut ten feet distant. A close examination disclosed a perfect network Of wire gold covering the entire mass. X ton of ore was worked out in an arrastra, and yielded 5S oz. and 15dwt. An ex- animation of the tailings by Fred. Nedler showed $500. and at least S4OO worth of specimens were given away. Tonpitudinally through the location runs a strong vein of carbonate ore, Ali the northeast end, numerous small veins are found, one of which IS ga;ena. and this runs exactly for the place from which the ore IS taken Altogether, it is a strange property and a valuable one.

Then. all of a sudden, it takes fancy to investigate the chronological qual- ities of a curious sort of a bug 1t dis covers roaming off in the prairie a mile or two away, and starts for it, cutting and slashing out a path in the soft soil.

 After ten days run the Red Cloud Gold and Silver Mining Company at Silver District put out their fires 10 clean the furnace and take a general observation of it's workings. Every thing was found 10 be in excellent or der and the furnace will be started again in a few days. There is no doubt but what it has proved to be a perfect success in all respects, and al- though running on the lowest grade ore that the mine produces, its pro ductlOns during the time 1t was run ming will cause many a bitter wailing from several parties who have had that mine bonded at different times at from ten to fifty thousand dollars. The result of the trial run is nearly twenty tons of bullion, worth S1700 per ton; total of $34 GOO. When we take into consideration that no ore has yet been smelted that has been taken only from above the surface of the mine, and of that only what was cast as being too poor 10 ship, as well as the fact that enough of this class of ore is in sight to run this furnace for nine years, at the lowest estimates, and also the fact that the mine has been prospected to the depth of 200 feet, and a solid ore vein 30 feet in width which assays from seven to fiji teen times the amount which the ore that has been worked has shown We say that when the vast magnitude of this amount of metal, taken into con- nection with the formation and its be- ing a true Assure vein, is realized, the largest mining property in the known world is here in its infancy, and yet this is conceded not to be by far the best mine in the district. Our belief has never wavered In the slightest de- gree, and after a two years acquain- tance with this district that here is the " golden garden of the world.'
