LATER DEMIsEs.
For "A. while the scythe Of the des-
troyer glittered no more in the grass OF
journalism, and the Enterprise, man.
aged by Joe Goodman and Mccarthy,
flourished and fattened.
In the Sharon campaign Sutro started
an organ, the Independent, to lift the
Sharon scalp. Charley Summers edited
the paper regardless of expense. He
dictated his editorials to two sterOgraphs
and at night hurled his slashing speech
es at the foe. Sharon finally purchased
the Enterprise for $1,000 to parry the
attack. After the campaign the Hade-
pendent was moved to Sutro, where T.
E. Picotte, John Cosgrove and others
tried to keep it afloat, but it died after
the completion of the tunnel.
Pat Holland was the next to launch
hts bark on the tickle sea. He started
the Comstock Record, 1t was edited by
Prof Steward, with Dick Rule as local.
The first number called upon all the
to keep file of the Record
as in twenty or thirty years it would be
a valuable reference. 1t ran six weeks.
One night Holland started to Steam
boat Springs with four-in-hand and
cOnvivial companions and ran off the
grade. When he got we'll he found the
Record had turned it's toes skywards.
DODGING THE DESTROYER.
The Territorial Enterprise was born
n Genoa in the dark of the moon. and
or a while was not expected to survive
he first teeth cutting. 1t managed to
shift its quarters to Carson and in this |
'ity had very precarious existence.
More than once death fitted an arrow |
or it, but it managed to avoid the shaft,
nd finally migrated to the Comstock, |
where it now pulsates with hearty life !
nd feeds upon the invigorating diet |
furnished by two banks. 1t seems des- |
ined to live to ripe old age.
THE CARSON CEMETERY.
The newspaper mortality in Carson
eeds a brief review. The Sitter Age

Next came the Carson independent,
ublished by w. w. Moore and Israel
rawford. In 1864 it dropped to a
'eekly and finally ceased in the land.
In '72 the Herald appeared upon the
Gene. Wells Drury published it and
lade money until he began to toy
18th the tiger, and the paper went
own the stream.
The Eoening Post was published by
