Geo W.. Biz lsall.

Geo. w. Birdsall, one of the Pioneers
of Nevada, died night before last in
Virginia City. He came to the ledge
when it was first discovered and re-
manned there until his death. He was
Chief of Police in 1865. During the dis
charge of his official duties he had been
in good many encounters and at one
time when shot in the breast by a des-
perado his life was dispaired of. He Was
a modest, quiet man and never lost d
friend that he had once made. A large
concourse ofpeople followed his remains
to the grave yesterday afternoon.

The San Francisco Reporters.

Su perintendent Crawford, of the Mint,
has returned from his trip to San Fran
cisco, where he was a witness before
the Mint Investigation Committee. He
says that he was utterly astonished
when he read his testimony in the
papers. He hardly knew it. Most of
it was exactly contrary to his testimony.
In one special instance he testified that
all the Northern Belle bullion he re-
ceived at the Carson Mint was over
900 fine except in one instance. The
papers got it that it Was with single
exception all under 900 fine.

THE FIRE DEPARrMENT.
A Citizens views ea the subject

To THE EDITOR OF THE APPEAL.
Whenever there is fire it is FASH
ionable for the blame of building burn
ing down to be laid on to the fire de-
partment. l was once fireman my
self, and feel for the boys who man the
hose. If Carson had paid department
the taxpayers and papers would have
right to growl at times, but when one
considers that the service is gratuitous
it is hardly fair to blame the firemen
and especially so in this instance when
there was no water in the hydrants.

CAN CONKLING EDIT A NEWS.
PAPERS
A Series OF Leading Questions From the
Cincinnati Enquirer"

The announcement that the friends
of Mr.. Conkling are about to start a
newspaper for him to edit fills the soul
of the editor of the Cincinnati Enquirer
with ga vague indefinable something"
and the latter doubts whether the
brilliant ex-senator can fill the bill. GA
man." says he, "may be able to hold
three hundred and six delegates in Il
national convention and yet fail miser-
ably to sustain himself against an in
iured subscriber. If it is true, as al
legged, that Mr.. Conkling has the warm
and loving hearts of all the women in
North America beating upon his string
he is hardly the person to say no to the
sad-eyed suffragist when she comes in
with her two-column plea for her sup
pressed and suffering sex. 1t is one
thing to levy assessments to carry on a
political campaign, and another thing to
collect 50 in advance for weekly
newspaper. AS for getting money out
of a man who is in arrears for his paper,
we do not believe Mr.. Conkling, with
all his heavenborn talents, is equal to
the emergency. And could he do this
by the exercise of either the strategems
of love or war it might then be set
down as the greatest effort Of his life.
Does Mr.. Conkling know anything
about the details of newspaper manage
ment, can he estimate job work and
tell a picnic committee how much
twenty-five eight sheet posters will cost
them and when they will be ready?
Can he write church notices, and indite
obituary poetry? Can he make paste
and punctuate manuscript? Can he
write up prize-hog or a prize-fght
with equal fitting terms These are
things which Mr.. Conkling must
answer for himself"
