Its Length and General Appear.
auce.
This great enterprise is now completed
q distance Of 1868 feet. At the breast the
air is foul and retards work. The first 100
feet Of the tunnel passed through q lime
stone formation; the next cut is through q
clay or argillaceous shale nature, 300 feet
in length; next through 900 feet of ore
bearing limestone, impregnated with ore
Of a nodulic character; the last cut is
through 25S feet Of clay shale. Here the
clay shale terminates and runs into cal
careous shale Of a hard nature. About
900 feet from the mouth of the tunnel is
crosscut No. 1, running north about go
feet in length, which is im~pregnated with
ore Of q carbonitic nature, and Of Q
bunchy character, one bunch connecting
with another, as il they were the vanguard
OF large ore bodies, which is usually the
case in Prospect Mountain. About half
way in this drift are upraises which con-
tain ore about two feet wide Of low grade.
A little further along a body OF manganese
is seen, which runs as high as $500 per ton.
Encased in the manganese is q body of
chloride ore which has not as yet been de-
veloped, as it interferes with working in
the face of the tunnel.
The facilities for working the tunnel are
first-class. A commodious blacksmith shop
has recently been built. The conduct Of
the work is under the intelligent superin-
teDdence Of Mr.. Maurice H~artnett, who is
one Of the Oldest miners on Prospect
Mountain. The time is not far distant
when a large body of ore will be had in
this tunnel enterprise. U. B. D.

THE MAINE MIDDLE.

The Maine troubles grow more complicated
version Of the trouble is that he Republicans
have circulated the sack among the members
of the Legislature and hired some of them to
remain away, thereby preventing quorum.
NJ q browning evidence of Republican mendac-
ity and corruption, while the Republican jour
malls insist that the affidavits made by the
members who claimed to have received a
thousand dollars each as a bride, we're nothing
less than perjuries made for political effect. 1t
seems at present almost an imposshilty to
get at the truth from that section. The lead
srs OF both parties in Maine seem to be set
of thimble-rigging politicians unworthy the
confidence and support of decent people. Both
parties have their quota OF corrupt manipula
tors and such occasions as this bring the scum
to the surface. The 6ercer the pot boils, the
thicker the scum. These men are neither
Republicans or Democrats at heart, but SIM
ply scheming rascals who enter the profession
Of politics for the purpose of living off the
sBoils of office and political manipulation. By
what mysterious dispensstion of the law they
escape the penitentiary, no one knows. The
partisan discussions which for weeks have been
carried on relative to TIE Maine mix have al
ready gone far enough. Both Republican aud
Democratic journals should ante in sitting
the Maine ash heap to the bottom. The peo
pls want the whole truth and nothing less, aud
the majority Of men care but little where the
burden of blame falls. If the Republicans
have resorted to the sack, it is plain evil
dsnce of the rottenness of their cause. The
sack is invariably the resort of unprincipled
men who feel that their case can be supported
by no other argument. Bribery is a grave
crime and cannot be too severely punished.
If the men who made the sffidavits lied, they
should be consigned to hard labor in the pen
itentiary for the balance of their lives. 1t
is high time that bribery, perjury and cor
ruption in politics were made a lasting exam
pie of, and the party that FIRST frees itself of
these debasing and demoralizing elements
will be the frat to secure the confidence of the
mass of American people.

SLANG.

In the early history of this coast, mum Der
time should he abolished One Of the most
common of these errors consists of abiding to
pistol few inches lsng as a gun" Bo-
die papea in speaking of recent affray in that
camp, refers to man who pulled gun
out of his pocket and hit a man over the
head with it. No wonder Eastern people get
strange notions of Nevada, and uninitiatsd
persons will ask how it is that men carry shot
guns in their pockets, when six shoe ters are
30 much handler. Even newspapers of recog-
rized standing aluds to pistols as guns Again
the remark is often heard, Jones ,cin ahun-
dred dollars last night" This ungrammati-
cal expression had its origin with the untu-
tored card sharps of early times, and has since
crept into the common parlance Of the day.
The use of the word " win " for "won is con-
sidered as an evidence that the speaker is
thoroughbred sport, and it seems to be mainly
used by them in a sort of Masonic sense. The
slang of this coast is so extensive that it has
crept into pas.ably good society. and ladies
frequently use it almost unconsciouely in their
ordinary conversation, while many young girls
seem to take an absolute delight in it. Some
of the words used by them have a meaning of
which they never dream, and they thus be-
come laughing stock with listeners. If
properly compiled slang vocabulary was pub
hshed on this coast, with the different mean
isgs of words faithfully given, itwould doubt
less dampsn the conversational powers of some
people considerably.

TEE SESAroHIAL ELECTION. Winnie
mucca Silver State in commenting upon the
plan proposed by the APPEAL in the matter OF
the election of Unitsd States Senators says
mo one will dispute the fairness of this prop
osition, yet it is not probable that it will be
carried out. The people are entitled to voice
in selecting United States Senators as we'll as
Congressman Or other Representatives,; but
under the present arrangement, the choice is
left to members of the Legislature, many Of
whom are NO more capable of Judging who
should be chosen than the majority of citizens.
This arrangsn ont gives millionairss an oppsr-
tunity to place their coin where it does the
most good, A. an inducenent to msmbers to
support them. If the people, as suggested by
the APPEAL, were given opportunity to express
their preference for Senators, and Legislative
Candidates we're pledged to abide by tn cir
choice, 1t would purify our Legislatures SO far
as the election of Senators is concerned. 1t
is greatly to be hoped that Central Commit
tees and State aud County Conventions in the
next campaign will act on this suggestion. and
if majority of the voters of Nevada are in
favsr of selecting Sharon, the minority will
submit to their will. "

MCKENZIE TO DREXLER.

The C]sro7s,sie of last evening contains the
following reply from Superintendent MeKen-
zie to l.. P. Drsxler's open letter of the day
previous:
KsIToR EVENING CHRoNIcLB-Sir: In your
edition of last evening appeared letter from
Mr.. L. P Drexler, rejecting very severely on
the amount and cost of work done during the
last thirteen months OR the mine of the Sierra
Nevada Silver Mining Company.
As this time equals that of my superlnten-
dency, I think it my duty to all stockholders,
including Mr.. Drs1ler, to state that my weekly
reports during that period clearly show to
any one who will examine them that MIR.
Drexler's stateme Mt is largely colored by ig-
| noranee or design, On the 2lst instant my
annual report in detail will be given to the
corporation, and through it to the world. If
there are any inclined to think with Mr..
Dre1sr, ask suspension of opinion until
nv report is examined. | know that it will
| show, to say the least, that as much good,
hard solid work has been done for the cost In
the mine of the Sierra Nevada Silver Mining
Company during the last thirteen months a.
was ever done in like time for equal price.
As to any other expenditures, Mr.. DfexIer
knows perfectly we'll that the books of the cor
poration are at all times open to the inspec-
ton and criticism of any s,ockholder 1t is
very easy to deal in general terms of fault
finding. but l challenge any censure, when
details are truthfully examined. | remain,
your obsdient servant,
ALEX G. MCKKs ZIR,
Superintendent of the Sierra Nevada Silver
Mining Company.
Virginia, January s, 1880.
This does not answer Drexler's query as to
what the management propose to do with a

more than that amount i'll the treasury. We
