NEWSPAPER CHANGE,

James E.. Parker has become sole pro-
prieter Of the Inyo Independent, having
purchased the interest of his partner.
Mr.. Parker is an old Comstocker and
well known to the newspaper fraternity
Of the coast. In assuming sole control
Of the Independent, which, by the way,
has always been a most excellent local
paper, he makes a remarkably candid
statement of his hopes and aims and pur-
poses. His bow to the public is both
graceful and practical. He frankly tells
his friends that he has incurred a debt of
$1,000 and wants their help to pull him
out. He also says that he abhors that
style Of journalism which marks the
individuality of the editor and calls upon
all who can write to aid him in making a
good paper by contributing to its columns.
As between the political parties and per-
sonal friends and foes, he guarantees
that his paper shall never do ought to
influence a vote. Strictly as a " ~saluta-
tory" Mr.. Parker's is the best we have
seen in a long time. Cherishing an old
friendship, the writer wishes him all de.
served success as sole proprietor.

Major John H. Dennis, formerly of the
Tuscarora Times-Review, is visiting Utah

Of Zion.
The citizens OF Winnemucca have or
ganized the Nevada Artesian Well Com
pany. The capital stock is $50, 900 in TO-
900 shares.
Judge G. C. Goodwin, editor of the
Salt Lake Tribune, who has scores of per-
sonal warm friends in the State, is re-
ported to have become wealthy by reason
OF a lucky mining investment.
The Board of Directors of the Califor-

the Secretary Of State a certificate of in
crease in their capital stock from 50, $780,
600 to Sc, $50, 900, divided into 1850

Large quantities of Nevada raised po-
tatoes are now being shipped to California
from Reno, where the price is one cent a

Sheriff Fitch arrived and arrested Dan.
| Bowden lately in Winnemucca, who is
wanted by the Grand Jury to answer to

that he is not guilty of any %offenss, and
cannot be convicted.
Humboldt County is agitated about the
census returns. Late bulletins issued
from the Census Department give the to-
tai grain area of the county during last
year as l ,0SS acres of barley, 1853 acres of
wheat and 40 acres of oats. The Silver
State says that the actual cereal output
during 1880 was derived from 4,400
acres of wheat and 4,125 acres of barley.

to San Francisco. NJ. Gondouis repre-
scented French capitalists who are inter
ested in the projected scheme.

THE PRICE OF MANHOOD.

The case of Baldwin, the Cashier who
appropriated to his own use the entire
funds of the Newark Mechanics Bank,
over $1,000, coo, than whom probably
nobody in that large community was
held in greater respect or enjoyed the
confidence of the people to a greater ex.
tent, is a rude shock to theE well-founded
belief that there are yet some honest
men in the world. The question whether
or not every man has his price, is one
the very suggestion OF which brings the
blood OF shame to the cheeks of every
person who is not yet himself tainted
with the disease that breaks out now and
then in quarters where its presence was
seemingly least to be expected. Yet
there are skeptics TO the existence of
absolute honesty, as well as skeptics in
religion.

the American flag will be borne to the
Palace yard and tho massed bands will
play the American national anthem. The
Secretary of the American Legation writes
that he is sure this graceful recognition of
the ties binding the two nations will be
received with the greatest pleasure in
America.
The Conservative gain in the municipal
elections is sc and the Liberal 35. The
most important change is at Staley Bridge,
where the Conservatives gained six seats.
They gained four in Oldham, three in
Cardiff and three in Liverpool. The fore
going results are probably attributable to
the Irish vote, but Conservative gains are
pretty evenly distributed among the towns
Of large Irish population and those purely
English.
ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 3.-Five en-
ployes of the Cars Palace have been

VIRGINIA REAL ESTATE.

High Taxes,

HEoPeHtJ g." Drug - ReX
Emssic. in Fact-Nothing sure
for Comstockers but Death and
High Taxes.
Real estate on the Comstock, SAYS the
Chronicle, has deprecated largely within
the last three years. Within the past u
months the shrinkage has assumed alarm
ing proportions. Real estate in Gold Hill
is now nearly worthless, and in this city
the depreciation in selling value ranges
from so to 90 per cent of the prices ruling
three years ago. These figures may we'll
be deemed startling, but they are correct,
as can be plainly shown. 1t is safe to say
that the bulk of the property in Storey
County would to-day be readily sold at a
large reduction from its assessed valua-
ton this year. A Chronicle reporter to-
day interviewed a number of leading
property owners and was assured by them,
without exception, that they would dis
pose OF any Of their real estate here at a
large reduction from the valuation on
which they are now called to pay taxes.
]. NJ. Douglas, who is probably the lare.
est property owner in Storey County, said
that he would sell any or all Of his proper
ty here at less than its assessed value. In
proof OF this he added: II have TO-DAY
agreed to sell a piece OF real estate which
cost me 5000 for $40, and I am no. GER.
tain but that the intending purchaser will
back out. even at that rate. Unless a
change comes over the spirit Of my dreams
very soon my property can be had at a
great reduction from its assessment valua-
ton" Mr.. Douglas is assessed in this
county alone for nearly 500, 900.
j. G. Hampton, who owns stores and
houses in all parts of the city, said: 81
will sell my property at q great reduction
from the Assessors valuation. 1t is al.
most impossible to rent buildings for
money enough to pay taxes and q small in.
terest on the capital invested. The 30.
nanza Restaurant building, on North G
street, which I own, is assessed for "a, 900;
I will sell it for 80, 200. The building oc.
cupied on the first floor by Justice Hires
as a Courtroom is assessed for 81, 500. /
will take 80, 200 for it. 1t at one time
rented for S725 a month; ! now get but
500 a month from it. The depreciation
is enormous. Unless a bonanza is soon
uncovered I don't know what we are all
going to do"
A. Hanak, lessee Of the international
Hotel and a large property owner, assessed
with his partner for over S62, 900, said that
he would sell any of his property at from
40 to go per cent less than its assessed
value. He regards the present valuation
as exceedingly high and out Of all proper
ton to the actual value Of real estate here.

The hunting season is we'll on. There

California quail, also, are becoming quite
numerous since the game law has been

Since publicity has been given to the
fact that operations would be resumed at
the Mint to-day, superintendent Crawford
has been fairly besieged with applications
for positions. His instructions from Wash
ington, which are imperative, are to the
effect that nc additions must be made to
the existing force. This, of course, pre-
cludes the possibility of any application
receiving a favorable consideration.

THE HONOR OF TIE TURF.

The Englishman thinks that the best
horse ought to win, especially if he has
risked money on him; and in the old
country it has always been held that the
swiitest horse has taken the purse. This
has been more the rule in England,
where betting is done rather on the iudg-
ment of the competing horses, than ON
''~points" from the stables. Racing
among our English cousins is ostensibly
cultivated as a noble pastime. The gem
try own the blooded stock and lay the
heavy wagers, sush sums as compared
with which the biggest bets made III the
United States make the latter seem mere
paltry amounts. Keene and Lorillard have
lately won money enough from them to
make the ordinary speculator satisfied to
retire without pressing his luck any
further. An American who can ship 4
horse with the legs and bottom OF
Iroquois or Foxhall across the Atlantic
finds bonanza at once, Johnny. Bull Is
beginning now, however, to dread the
Yankee Jockey. 1t would be a good
deal of money in his pocket to visit a
few race tracks in Nevada and Calitor-
MIA, or even in New Jersey, before
tacAing any more of Uncle Sans rep
r~esentative turimen. There is no doubt
that Keepe and Lorillard won on the
merit OF their stock. But now comes
trouble that is likely to break up horse
racing on a large scale in England. A
New York sporting man has had a quarrel
with an English Baronet, Sir Gilbert
Ashley, about betting transactions on the
turf. The latter charges the former
with being a backlog, and that he made
his books by the aid of 'informa-
ton from the stables, obtained by bri-
berry. Walton resents the charges, as an
innocent man would. Whether it be
true or not that Walton is a scrub is Of
no genera. Importance. Nobody expects
anywhere in the United States that the
best horse will win simply because he is
the best horse. And that there is no
knavery practiced among Englishmen in
their racing is absurd in reason and
proved to be untrue in experience.
Wherever gambling goes on, thieves
sometimes of very gentle blood creep
in. 1t is their regular business, and if
they had to take even chances they
would not be found on the turf, the most
Of them, in England or anywhere else.

ISSUE JOINED.

The debris question in California has
taken a serious turn. At Marysville
yesterday Judge Mayhem, of the Supe-
rior Court, issued an order to the Sheriff
Of Nevada County To shut off the water
and close down several of the more
prominent hydraulic mines of that coun.
ty. The mining companies in question
have been working in alleged contempt
OF an injunction granted L of the same
Court by Judge Keyser some time ago.
We should not be surprised if the order
issued yesterday precipitated a collision
between the miners and authorities. The
miners have expressed a strong determi-
nation not to suffer themselves or their
operations lobe interfered with. Theentire
population Of the mining counties will
stand behind them in any course, no
matter how violent, they may choose to
adopt. The question SINNERS down to
one IN which every member of the min
ing communities is virtually interested,
Their all is dependent on the issue pre-
sented, for the permanent closing down
OF the mines means decay and ruin to
every interest and species Of property.
The miners paid the Government for
their lands, just as the agri~cplturists did,
the only difference being that the miners
paid $3.50 per acre as against 81 rs by
the ranchers. The miners also were the
first to occupy the public domain. In
the early days everybody came to Cali
fornia to mine for gold. Few, if any,
came to till the soil. 1t seems harsh in
the extreme that the men and industry
which peopled those golden shores and
gave birth to a sovereign State, should be
forced to take back seats in the end.
Priority OF possession and. the substantial
justice of the case, to our mind. are
clearly with the miners.

wishing to test the legality of the proceed

be held that day. No attempt was made
to interfere with the meeting, although
detectives watched those who entered the

ARRAY at Belmullet last week appears to

stated that only one death resulted from

acted in the matter on their WI response

considerably reduced the rent. An appli-
