Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1880-07-18

| manner as to cause a suspicion that he is in
some way responsible for the absence of a
cash balance from the safe If there is any
attempt to shoulder the responsibility upon
the deputy that does not belong there the
suit which Mr.. Estner has limited at should
be brought at once. The APPEAL has printed
cards from various parties because it is willing
to do justice to any one who feels aggrieved,
| but We are getting heartily tired of war ef
words which promises to bring out nc definite
results The quicker the suit of Esther VS..
Hill can be brSaght to hearing in the courts
the quicker can an intelligent opinion be ar
rived at by the public as to which party is
| responsible for the mysterious disappearance
| of county funds.
An ARTFUL DODGE. most foolish
thing man can do is to attempt to dodge a
| fact The Tribune is continually falling into
| this ridiculous error. Last evening it printed
the following:
The APPEAL of this morning asserts that
the Atta Publishing Company of San Fran
cisco has a claim of several hundred dollars
| against the Tribune. This is another deiib-
crate falsehsod. The Tribune does not owe
the Alta Company one cent, and we challenge
Sam Davis to prove to the contrary.
The claim alluded to is against R. r. Par
kinson for printing several hundred pamph-
lets containing sketches of the prominent
members of California Legislative session.
The printing was done by the Alta Publish
ing Company fer R. R. Parkinson, when he
the editor and proprietor of the Tribune.
He received considerable money from the
members for the publication of fusom sketch
es of their career, yet he never settled with the
4lta Company. The claim was finally sent
to Trenmor Coffin, an attorney of this city
for collection, and though he has had it ia
his possession for over year, he has never
been able to see an opening which gave hm
any show of collecting the debt, which now
with principle and interest, amounts to
nearly 5000. Since the debt was contracted
the former owner has made the paper ever
to his son, E. }. Parkinson, the present
proprietor. Since the change of proprietor
ship many of the former creditors of the
concern have attempted to collect but have
been unable to do SO, the present proprietor
declining payment on the ground that he
was not responsible for debts contracted
before the change. The claim of the Alta
Publishing Company can be seen in Mr..
Cofin's office and can be purchased for ten
cents on the dollar
WHY THE MARKET Is DuLL-It may sur
prise those who have only a superficial
knowledge of the conditions affecting the
mining interests in New York, says the Mn
ing Nelrs of that city, to know that nstwith
standing all that has been said and written
about mining being speculative, uptS the pres
emit time the speculative element in New
York has not been interested in mining. 1t
is surprising that this fact has had no recog-
milton from most writer's upon this sub iect.
The burden of their argument has been that |
mining always legitimate invest
ment and not a speculation and they |
have addressed their deductions to this point
as though it was the spectators and not the
solid investors who had gone into mining
The reverse is the truth to singular degree.
If any one wants to see the truth of it, let
him compare the present condition of the
mining stock market with the railroad stock
market. One is woefully depressed and al
most idle while the other is booming along
with. plenty of buyers, and almost daily ad-
vances in prices.
THE PASTE POT.-The Gold Hill Ne,rs
comes to the front with another improve
ment on the raste-pot: ......
Take teacup-one with the handle
knocked off is the most styiish-put about
a tablespoonful of gum tragacanth into it and
fill it nearly full of cold water Next
morning you will have cup of paste like
cornstarch pudding, which will outstick
poverty itself. 1t will not wet through the
clippings, is not SO nagty as mucilage, will
not spoil, and is handler, cheaper and better
than any other fer an editors table or a
scrapbook, A dollars worth will make
eleven hats full of the beast .stickum in the
to run all the Carson papers
year.
The Eastern papers report that the present
Ictivity in mining in U tab equals the booming
lays of the Emma mine, and it is estimated
hat fully $10,OOO,OO0 have been invested
