CHURCHILL COUNTY.
Political and Mining Notes from Che
Desert County.

Desert county.
SALTWATER, Oct. 3, 80.
EDITOR SILVER STATE Since my
last communication Churchill county
has been in training for
THE POLITICAL RACES,
To come off this Fall. The Democrats
seem to be confident Of making clean
sweep of the whole county. And un-
less our Hon. Senator from California
sends duplicate of his bountiful sack
down among us, they undoubtedly will.
So far the contesting forces seem to be-
quite evenly balanced, but the
Democrats have large advantage as
they have more good workers and rus
tiers than their antagonists. The vote
viii be about the same as at the last
election, with perhaps slight increase
caused by the development of
K. L. MINING CAMP.
Some one not long ago circulated the
report among the newspapers of the
state that this camp was a failure. We
do not know who it was, and do not
care to know him. There is no doubt
but that I. X. L. would be considerable
further advanced if the work ON the
different locations had been expended
on one or two instead of so many, bnt
as it is, the mines are all looking good,
and there seems to be no doubt among
mining experts that the mines will ul-
timately prove among the best III the
state. We now have every promise of
the erection of ten staalp mill here
within short time, and there is sutfic
ems ore III sight to justify the building
OF mill Of twice that capacity. There
is no doubt that had the outside public
taken the interest in this camp that is
usually exhibited IN new mining dis
tricts, we would have been crushing
quartz aad shipping bullion long ego.
The men who have located and devel-
oped the place are worthy OF every con
fidence, and deserving OF every encour-
agement. They have prospected ON
limited means, aud have worked and
put their all in the mines, because they
have unbounded confidence in their per-
mauence and worth. The two political
paGties have had their convention, and
have, all in all, made
RARE CHOICE OF CANDIDATES.
The Democrats have nominated the fol-
lowing ticket: for Assembly, J. W.
Richards; for Treasurer, VIM. Murphy;
for Recorder, w II. A. Pike; Tor Sher-
if, j. 7. Walker; for Commissioner.
(lohg term) Jacob Springer, tshort term
Henry Weelen, while the Republicans
have, for Assembly, Asa Merry; for
Treasurer, Capt, Stone; for Recorder,
j. J. Gambler; for Sheriff, Robt. Shlr-
ley, and Commissioners, B. I. Gray
and c. S. Kellogg. OF these much OF
They are all old residents of che county,
and we'll and favorably known. Mr.
kellogg is one of the principal owners
of |. \. L., and has spent years OF his
life in and around that camp--in fact
he was here ever since Churchill has
been county. As for the Assembly
men, Mr.. Richards hes the advantage
over Mr.. Merry, from the fact that he IS
far better acquainted, and accoomnao-
dating to fault, and will carry the full
strength of his ticket, and will proba-
bly, get few Republican votes. OF the
others it is impossible to conjecturs cor
rectly Of the result 1t is more than
probable that some Of both parties will
be elected, bnt Hancock and the State
ticket is almost certain of a clear ma
jority. As for Sharon he stands no
possible show of carrying Churchill.
Kaiser, our hold-over Senator is emphaJ-
ically against him, who although strong
Republican, is not so preiadiced as to
support q nonresident, and nonentlty
for our Senator. PI-kRE.
