sTEProE CREEK, Jan. 81. 1881.

STEPToE CREEK, Jan. 81, 1881.
EDITOR NEWS: / learn from your
paper of the 22d instant that certain
gentlemen of Eureka have created a
company for the purpose of obtain
ing from the Legislature an Act
authorizing them to saddle a debt on
White Pine and Lincoln counties of
5000, 900 each, and 800, 900 on their
W county of Eureka, for a railroad
from Eureka to the Colorado River
Ia railroad not required by the
counties named, and solely to benefit
the incorporators themselves. Our
counties are already too much bur-
dened with taxes. Fifty years from
now 1t may be another thing. Let
them wait till then. But if their
needs are pressing, permit me to sug-
gest what may be done. When lately
l visited San Francisco, l saw a large
placard on a fence, which read /: eff
you are in want of money, go to
Uncle Harris" The poster gave his
full address, which 1 really forget. as
| did not feel that l wanted what he
had. But he a easily be found,
and the gentlemen seeking for the
railroad, instead of putting a heavy
debt on u shoulders for their benefit,
have only to apply to Uncle Harris,
and get the money they want. He is
the benevolent one to give what is
wanted.
l hope that the members of u
Legislature will be mindful of this.
Uncle Harris is the man to whom the
incorporators must apply for the
needful, and thus save time, trouble
and expense. A stitch in time saves
nine. b. FRANKLIN.

Louis Feusier, of Virginia City, has in
vented a very neat and effective spring
attachment to miners lanterns, for holding in
place the glasses of the same. By means of
this invention all the glass sides may be
taken out of a lantern for cleaning, or for any
other purpose. and put back again in less
than half a minute. In the old styles of Ian
terms the glasses could not be taken out and
put back in place without bending the tin
forming the grooves into which the glasses
are fitted. and after a few times bending the
tin elects break of. All miners who have ex-
amined these improved lanterns pronounce
them just the thing. A patent has been ap-
piled for on the improvement.

Revenue defived................ 5000

Besides these amounts of revenue which
would be derived from these counties taxing
the property of the road itself, the fact of tho
road running through the counties will rem
der all kinds of property more easily mar
keted, and increase the value of all property
lying near said road. thus in this way in
crossing the taxable property in the counties,
and in addition the building of such a road
which are at present discovered and eonsid-
cred worthless, besides would stimulate the
discovery and development of many others,
neither of which would ever be d0ne without
its assistance, and thus throw vitality into a
now comparatively dead portion of the state,
and create a new era of yigOr, enterprise and
hope whore now the future seems gloomy and
diseouraging.

THE PROPOSED RAILROAD.
what h Friends OF the Measure
Claim for Il.

The following extracts are from a pamphlet
received at this Office in support of Senator
Perlcy's railroad scheme, presumably gotten
up and distributed by the friends of the
measure. They make a good showing on
paper:
This route will throw fully one hundred and
fifty miles of railroad bed into White Pine
county, and upwards of two hundred and fifty
miles into Lincoln county, besides depots,
rolling stock, side tracks and other property,
thus more than doubling the value of the
taxable property of hite Pine county, and
probably increasing the taxable property of
Lincoln county threefold.
The benefits to White Pine county in rev.
enue from taxing sueh a road will be better
understood by the following table.
80 miles roadbed at ST, 900 per miles 90O,00

After bearing the market until the
insiders could load up the Post changes
front and get into the bull ring again.
It says: The "bulls" in the stock mar
ket, initiating the example of the victor
ious Republican electors, got their work
in early this morning, and the result
was a sharp advance in the leading
stocks and stronger prices for the Com
stocks generally. 1t looks more and
more as the good times predicted by the
Post had actually begun, and if the
thing is not overdone by too hasty and
reckless operations we shall have very
healthy market from this time forward.
Sierra Nevada and Union were the chief
objects of interest this morning. They
scored a round advance over the rates
which ruled at corresponding time
yesterday morning and, what was still
better, most of the purchasing orders
came from Virginia City, showing that
the people there know of an improve
ment in the mines. In fact, there are very
good reasons for believing that Senator
Fair, who is still at the front, was among
the buyers of Sierra Nevada and Union.
The evidence is growing stronger that
something of value has been found by
the diamond drill in Sierra Nevada, and
that the insiders have been quietly
picking up the stock OH this knowledge.
Rumor says the find was in cross cut No.
to the north and east On the $500
level and that when the crosscat follows
up the drill hole, quite development
will be made-sufficient to cause much
higher prices for the stocks. At all
events Fair and his associates have
bought largely of the stocks and they
must have had satisfactory reasons for
doing so. If strong and active market |
is the outcome, and we believe it will
be, it will have stimulating effect on
the leading interests of the city.

They Nnew Holland Gin.

In early times, when s. c. Wright
first came to this country, he employed
couple of Missourians to work for him.
He had a barrel Of whisky on the place
which they sampled about once an
hour, and in consequence stayed drunk
more hours than they worked. Whisky
was worth almost its weight in gold in
those days and work was proportion
ately valuable In order to check their
advances on the barrel he put on pro-
tective tariff of % cents drink. This
did not have the desired effect, for at
the end of the week they had drank
nearly all the whisky and owed him
twelve dollars. He then raised the
price to two dollars and a half glass
and abolished the credit system. This
seemed to stagger the Missourians and
they began to turn up their noses at
viii sky.

The idea Of any man hailing from the

S tate knowing anything about Holland
gin struck Wright as decidedly ludic-
erous and he remarked,
"Bet you ten dollars you never saw

They laughed uproarously.

Our Agricultural Senator.

The Department Of Agriculture of
Washington has forwarded to Senator
Fair considerable quantity Of five
pound sacks of choice varieties of wheat
for distribution among the ranchers of
Nevada. Those who wish to expert
ment with the wheat may obtain SAM
pies of it by making application for it
to Senator Fair. The receipt of this
wheat has given special delight to our
Senator, who for long time felt hurt
because Senator Sharon had been given
so prominent a position on the Com
mittee on Agriculture. Yesterday the
Senator told a Comstock operator that
he thought wheat raising was destined
to become great industry in Nevada.

A NUT FOE THE GRowLERS.
Money Plenty IN Carson and Collections
Easy

Carson is ROW passing through ats
regular period of summer dizziness and
the same crowd of drones who have for
ten years past stood about the streets
croaking hard times rather than work
are growing oyer the scarcity of
money. The storekeepers and trades
men report very light business, but
say that they are able to collect for
what they sell and that money is not
50 scarce as many people would believe.
II. S. Mason remarked to an APPEAL
reporter yesterday that he had not seen
collections SO easy in Carson for years.
He ascribes as reason that good
many who saved up their money for a
stock deal are chary about investing in
an uncertain market, and during the
past two years there has been so little
to tempt the speculative that ordinarily
well to do people find themselves
pretty well fixed just now. Speculation
has been the bane of Carson for years
and several millions of dollars have
gone from the town for which there has
been no returns If Carsenites Would
make up their minds to let stocks alone
there are enough natural resources
about the place to make a lively and
permanent town.

THE APPEAL ABROAD.
Two OF it's Foreign Correspondents
Heard From.

A couple of months ago the APPEAL
sent out two special correspondents ont
"a woman) to do Monterey and Santa
Cruz and the other "a many to send or
all he could find out about English soci'
ETY.. The Santa Cruz letter contains the
following. "And right here l wish tC
protest in the name of my sex against

In connection with the last par
agraph an extract from the Santa Cruz
Sentinel of August % is appended.

Immediately took the fellow in charge
in spite of the protestations of the
female, who seemed disposed to excuse
his conduct. In the police court this
morning he said that he wanted some
thing to hold on to and mistook the
woman for lamp post. The person
alluded to represents himself as a cor
respondent Of a Nevada newspaper.
Our London correspondent writes in
different strain. Among other things
he says:
I am astonished at the lack of appre-
citation shown by the English nobility

ents. From the letters / have read

! ELBERoN, September 9-S:3O.-At
the examination of the President at
this hour, his temperature is 9S.5 !;
pulse, 100; respiration, II. The con-
dition of the parotid gland and the
wound is improving. He was some
what wakeful during the night, but not
restless and sufficiently cool. Enemata
and stimulants have been suspended
the last thirty-six hours. On the
whole the past six hours gave evidence
of favorable progress.
LONG BRANCH, September 9.-In an
interview to-day, Attorney General
McVeigh said: The worst difficulty is
that the Presidents blood is in an I'M
healthy condition, and until he recu-
perates sufficiently to overcome any
bad effects of blood poisoning, it's not
safe to be too sanguine. His lungs
are the most prominent danger at the
present time, inasmuch as the patient
is experiencing some trouble with his
throat. Probably the lungs may be
reached by the impurities originating
from the parotid gland, but there is no
indication yet that they have been af-
fected. We know his heart is all right,
and up to this time there are no indi-
cations which tend to show that the
lungs are not in healthy condition.
