A Lovers ElySiufl /.

There is not single ice cream saloon
or soda fountain in Gold Hill, and the
young men who put in their spare time
counting in that section say that the
place is perfect elysium. A young
man can take girl up and down the
streets at night and all over town in
fact, and not run up against any OF
those o ket del letting ice cream ard
soda water resorts. Under these favor
able auspices counting becomes pleas
ure unencumbered by any fear of raid
upon the fattened exchequer. Vir-
ginia gallants are seeking the company
Of Gold Hill girls in preference to all
others and the back porches and bal
comics of Virginia City are deserted
after shutdown.

The Mint Investigation.

The investigation of the charges
made by Congressman Page against Su-
perinlendent Dodge OF the U. S. Mint
at San Francisco, are now under way.
In one Of the specifications it charges
that the bullion from the Northern B 5ll
mine, was received under pretense that
its base was copper, whereas it contain
ed other base metals and substances
which rendered it unfit for coming and
its working resulted in loss to the gov
eminent. 1t is also charged that Dodge
continued to work this bullion after his
attention had been called to its character.
Dodge in defense claimed that he had
no control over the Meter, Refiner, and
Coiner. When ked about the low grade
d eposits he admitted having received
silver as low as 424 fine, and claimed
there was no law fixing the grade. He
however established a grade of 600
when he discovered that anything lower
occasioned a loss to the government.
The amount of deposits received under
500 fine in 1879 amounted to about one
million ounces.

Medical Predictions.

The shooting of the President has en-
abled good many doctors to get largely
advertised. Nearly every paper in the
Union has contained co mmunication
on the subject of the Pres ident's wound.
His death has been predicted every day
since the 4th Of July and each doctor
has given his reasons for anticipating
the demise. A Virginia doctor is quite
certain that he will die on the twenty =
fifth day. Now should the death oc-
cur the Com5tockers will think that they
have a very smart man up there. Other
medical men have located his death on
all the days between the 4th of July
and New Years. The ground is there
frfe pretty we'll covered. 1t will be Of
served that SO far no Carson physician
has rushed into print with an opinion,
nor is it probable that any will.

ALI. DOten's Drinks.

Major Dennis thus pays his compli.
ments to ALI. Doten:
| The Gold Hill Ne,rs favors the intro.
duction of half dimes on the Comstock.
Alf. Doten, the old rooster, doubtless
imagines with their appearance will
spring into existence number of five
cent dram shops.
This was not true Of Doten five years
ago. In the old flush times he never
touched a glass Of whisky which did
not cost two bits and when the last
high priced saloon closed on the COM
stock ALT. hove in sight two minutes
before midnight and laying down
twenty five cents on the counter quaffed
the las. glass of high priced liquor ever
swallowed in Gold Hill. The hist orian
of events in Slippery Gulch, however,
does not state whether Doten renowned
the flowing bowl after the price reached
the vulgar level of twelve and a half
cents or drank double the quantity in
order to give the saloon keepers the
same chance.

San FRANCISCO, July 27.-City poll
tics, so far as the Democracy is con-
cerned, have taken quite different APP
pearance within the last day or so. 1t
is now understood that instead of a
fusion CT the Yosemite wing of the
Democracy with the Workingmen, a
truce is likely to be patched up between
the opposing clans of the Democracy and
q straight ticket will be put up, headed
by Frank Nc Coppin for Mayor. There
Is also q report that the WOrkingmen
will put up straight ticket, headed by
Kalloch, who, it is stated, will accept
the nomination if rendered him, not
withdrawing his recent statement to
HE congregation that he would decline
the Office.

The savage Mine.

The San Francisco Post says: ave
understand that the new managers of
the Savage seriously contemplate the
production of the bullion from the large
quantities of low-grade ore which,
it is thought, can be worked at profit
through the concentration process" 1t
is to be hoped that Colonel Heating will
try to fairly win his military spurs and
mining exaltation by proving the above
statement true. At any rate he prom
ises that there will be something done
in the Savage in the way Of genuine
work, with the end in view Of making
a development, if such surprising
event be among the possibilities.

THE Acknowledgment DECISION.
An Extraordinary Finding by Judge
Riyes.

Yesterday dispatch was received
from Eureka outlining the finding in
the Acknowledgement case. 1t was in
effect that Judge Rives would decide
the Uncle Sam location as valid over
the st. George. This was the main
point in controversy However, the
Judge further proceeded to fnd the
Victoria younger patent than either
and on this patent gave the case to the
Richmond. Last evening the Chronicle
printed the following special from Eu-
reka:
EUREKA, July 27.-in the Rich
mond-Albion case the Judge has now
III A. ny just finished reading his de-
| cision. 1t is the same as reflected in
these dispatches last night. I will give
full particulars of the situation at
later hour. There is great deal of
indignation among the friends Of the
Albion.
At the conclusion of the reading of
the decision the Albion asked for an
injunction covering the disputed prem
ises in the other two cases pending be-
tween the same parties. The injunc-
ton was granted for the whole ground
until the hearing of these cases. The
Albion was required to file bond in
the sum of $40, 900, which was immc-
diately given.
AS the case now stands the court has
given the Victoria patent applied for
October 18th, 1873, precedence over
the Albion No. applied for July 9th |
of the same year, three months earlier. |
The Uncle Sam is the oldest claim on
the ledge and its protest was against !
the ST. George application for the ledge,
of date of August 80, 1873. The ST.
George patent has just been declared
void. Admitting that the Uncle Sam
has lost its prior right to the ledge by
its failure to protest against the Vic
toria application for a patent, (Which
is not true) why then, the Albion No. l
application being three months older
than the Victoria. must take the ledge
Just as soon as q new. hearing can be
had. All the rub' ish has been cleaned
away and the Albian people are con-
tident of ultimate victory.

A RELIC OF THE PAST.
The Carson Daily independently June

, Yesterday this Office received a cop,
of the Carson Independent of June 80
1864. 1t is yellow, dingy old sheet
with the name of Lincoln and johnson
at the head of the columns. In hooking
over its advertisements one recalls
many interesting events.

and spoken Of as 'the greatest on earth"
There is an editorial headed "Panics"
which calls upon the people Of the Bay
to hold on to their stocks and wait for
developments. 1t closes with these
CHEEKY words, which have so often
been repeated since then. "The Com
stock is not played out, and before the
snow flies there Will be a boom in stocks
that will astonish anybody. The
theory that another ore body will not
be discovered comes only from the
chronic GROWERS who are always seeing
ahead"
1t also calls attention to the fact that |
Mark Twain has resigned his position
on the Enterprise and will localize on
the Tall. 1t closes the notice by hoping
that Mark may prosper in San Francisco.

William Daugherty has just fled ap
plication for a patent on an affair which
he calls the "Fisherman's Companion
It consists Of string of trout, bull
heads and carp, made of rubber and
fixed on string in such way that
when carried along the street it has
every appearance of big catch of fine
fish. The thing is made of very thin
rubber ard can be packed in the vest
pocket until ready for use, when it can
be blown up to any size, giving the
trout a fat or lean appearance as the oc-
casion required. OF course it would
not do to have the fish look exactly
alike every day. 1t is almost needless
to remark that the inventor recently at
tempted practical test Of his work.
He blew up his fish string in Benton's
stable yesterday and putting fish pole
on his shoulder walked along Carson
street to receive the piaudits Of the
people.
"Where'd you catch 'em?'
"MeNican dam. They bite like the
deucp.''
CHOW long did you fish ?''
"About twenty minutes"
He stood in the sun few minutes
while he allowed the mob to admire
from a distance. The heat expanded
the air inside and the robber frauds
swelled, burst with a loud report and
The next thing that dis
appeared was Daugherty, the inventor.

Breaking it Gently.

The New York Stock Report has a
delightfully."- touching way of announc-

We understand there is a syndicate

An announcement like the above
does not strike the stock holders like a
