Mining Notes.
SALTWATER, August 2, 1880.
EDITOR SILVER STATE: For all that
one could learn from the columns of
your most valuable little sheet, of late,
one would come to the conclusion that
Churchill county had become defunct-
had in fact collapsed or relapsed into
a state of nonentity, or that the grass.
hoppers had come in such swarms as to
totally devour all traces and signs of
civilization. But, Mr.. Editor, let me
assure you that neither of these things
have come to passive are jogging
along in our good old way, with no ex-
citement or hustle save now and again
when some hilarious fellow let's his polit-
ical spirits get the best of his sobriety
and gives ringing "'Rah for Han
cock!' But although Churchill, locally,
is without distinction, she has recently
met with
POLITICAL PREFERMENT AT WASHINGTON,
One of our political lights, Mr.. jackson
Ferguson, being appointed Census Su-
pervisor lad Interim and Minister Plen-
ipotentiary, with the privilege of run
ming for the Assembly for second
term, and of receiving all the honors
and emoluments subject to that exalted
position. Whether Elder Ferguson
will condesccnd to accept another Fed
eral office for vote for the K. r. mo-
nopolies, can only be conjectured-but
we can only predict the future by the
divulgence of the past, and cannot, Of
course, assert ON authority what the
reverend gentleman will do.
THE POLITICAL POT
Has not as yet but commenced to SIM
mer, but in few weeks more it will be
boiling with vengence. To-day the
stalwarts are assembled as deliber-
alive and executive body for the pur-
pose of selecting delegate to the Car
son Convention. Owing to their partial
success in rs, they have some strong
pretensions to the spoils again this
Fall. But if we are any judge of color.
the Republicans will be decapitated as
fast as they appear above the political
horizon. If the Democracy of Churchill
are disposed to work and pull together
they can get away with the whole
works, and again put the county on a
safe and prosperous route.
THE GRAssHoPPERs
Are, as one rancher expressed it,
the other day, ''just raising h-ll with
the alfalfa crop this year." Some
fields, which last year produced five
tons to the acre, are now as bare and
barren as the road. AS yet they have
not materially injured the grain crop
they seem to prefer the sweet and more
tender lucern. The Saltwater country
has fine crops this year, and harvesting
has already commenced in earnest.
One field here, of some 400 acres, it is
thought will yield over the same num-
Der of tons of barley.
SILVER HILL, OR 1 X L,

the predictions of a rousing camp are

there are some good mines there that

them and bring in machinery, but un-

TRUMBULL.

Eds. Tsl.-Another decade has been
drawn to the heart of father time. A new
era has dawned upon us, and as we look
back over the last ten years, we may see
the bright hopes and anticipations that
have budded and bloomed, withered and
fled, and we see the bright forms and
laughing eyes of loved ones that have en-
tered the mystic river, and softly on the
breeze we hear the sighs Of those neglect
ed ones to whom we have violated faith.
But let US pause, and look ahead, forget
those sighs, forget those tears, and make a
pledge within us, for there is noble life
for those of us who have been so wayward
and there are happy voices in the sun
shine, who would welcome US to meet
them there, if we will only scatter those
dark mists about us and let the good shine
in.

SAYBROOK.

The week of prayer is being observed
here by union services at the churches
every night this week, except Thursday,
when the prayer meeting will be held at
the Congregational Church at 1:30 p. m,
so as to have a lecture on temperance at
that church at $50 p. m, by Miss Devel-
ing, of Mass. 1t is well to begin the new
year by turning over new temperance
leaf.
We don't know as Mr.. E. E. Hatch re-
ceived anything in the line of presents on
Christmas. If not, it was fullylmade up to
him on New Years day by thousand dol
lar present in a little bundle of feminine
humanity, commonly called a nice little
girl, weight not given.
Mr.. Henry T. Smith has partially solved
the problem of how much can be raised on
small farm, by thorough cultivation,
and partial soiling Of his stock. He has
farm Of "a acres, including a wood lot,
and averages through the year 16 head of
cattle, and a span Of horses and a dozen or
more hogs, all of which are fed the year
round on grain and other feed raised on
the farm. He raises from to 600 bushels
Of corn year, all of which is fed out to
his stock, enabling him to make from 125
to 130 loads of manure every year. He
cuts his eornstalks by horse power, and
feeds them in the manger, and uses the re-
fuse for bedding, which readily absOrbs the
moisture and is easily handled in the man
ure. He makes butter by the Cooley pro-
cess, but just as good butter can be made
by setting the milk in open pans in water,
10 or 10 degrees above the freezing point,
at least, I so understood him.
The number of deaths in Saybrook in
1879 were 10, as against II in 1878. OF
this number there were 13 males and fe-
males. Five were so years of age and up
wards, were 70 years and upwards, 8 we're
60 years and upwards, the other seven were
scattered all along from one year old up to
sixty. " sr' -... III.

the late Benjamin Norris, with whom she

"A surprise was perPetrated on New
Years evening upon Capt. Shaylor, at his
own house, by the rest Of the family and q
score or more of friends who dropped in
upon him about supper time, without q
suspicion Of what it all meant. The march
that had thus been stolen was complete
success, aud not little pleasantly was en-
joyed at the apparent effort made to solve
the perplexing problem, as the dOOrbell
gave its successive calls, and couple at-
ter couple sailed in, rendering the COM
pliments Of the season to the. head Of
the household, aTfd hanging their wraps
