Senator Jones is credited with saying by
the Carson Appeal that the bill to restrict
the coinage Of silver is certain of defeat.
The friends of silver are growing stronger
all the time in Congress. The Presidents
message speaks Of 800, 600, 600 of silver in
the vaults, but it neglects to state that
S6S, 000, 900 of this is represented by silver
certificates floating about the country.
There is about S270, 0O0, 900 of gold in the
Treasury, and rot as much gold certificates
are out as silver. Silver being a legal ten
der for all debts, n silver certificate is as
good as a gold one. The idea that there
can ever be too much money in the coun-
try is a fallacy, as the country grows and
increases in population the circulating me-
dunn must keep pace with development.
Times are hard and real estate and COM
modities go dow as gold and silver go up.
The Secretary of the Treasury allows only
the minimum amount of silver to be
coined, 50, DOC, 600 instead of 81, 900, 900,
the maximum. The Senator holds that
were the maximum rate coined the country
would Immediately enter upon an area of
unprecedented prosperity, and it is the
proposition of the silver men to press this
matter in the present Congress.

The

We suppose on the first day of next
month our Governor-elect, Hon. Jewett
W. Adams, will be duly ~inaugurated
with all the necessary furore and solemni-
ties due on the occasion. This will take
place on the same day that the Legisla-
ture %convenes, and must be done in the
presence of the Senate and House. Our
Capital City will doubtless wake up from
her lethargy of two years, unde this
Joint stimuli, and will, for the time be-
ing, be crowded with strangers from va
rious parts of the State. What ceremo-
MES beyond the administration OF the
official oath and delivery OF the inau-
gursl address will take place, We are not
advised, but we suppose the usual ball,
of course. We know Of but few OF our
citizens who will be present except those
who go the Capital to assume official po-
sition, and Dav. L. Baily. who, we are in
formed, intends taking "a short trip to the
Bay on business about that time, aud pro-
poses to stop off at Reno and take q run
up to Carson to see his old time friend,
Gov. Adams, duly assume the disnities OF
his future position. should our friend
Dave attend the ball, Eureka will be rep
resented there, of course, if good looks and
grace command any attention whatever

Providence Mountain.

The Phoebe Record says q letter was
received during the week by j. Nisenmann
from Henry Frabe, who is now at Provi-
dence Mountain, Cal. In speaking Of
Providence, ,Frabe says: ~ think this will
be quite a camp mex Summer. There is
now q l0-stamp mill being erected, and
there is enough ore on the dump to run
the mill about 8 month";, the lowest gross
assay of which shows $3.50 per ton. Al.
Titus Of Eureka and II. d. Howell are
preparing to start a store here. The rail
road will be within IS miles of this place
by the lst OF Mafch or sooner. Every
thing is high, and water is very scarce.

'dobes S25 per NJ. There are a great many
Phoebe, Bristol and Eureka men here.
Most of the boys that came here during
Summer have gone to Colorado and the

The bullion output OF the Albion fur
mace is prodigious, and must speedily work
a change in feeling among the stock
holders. On Monday the furn ace turned
out 152 bars of bullion, each bar weighing
ITO pounds. On Tuesday 166 bars were
running ia a splendid showing. When
the other gets into operation, which will
be in a few days. the bullion output will
reach an average Of 900 bars a day, we are
told, and This is what President Robinson
claimed a short time since that the fur
naces would do. At this rate of output
the debt of the company will be wiped ont
in less than two month";. Therefore the
talk of an assessment appears to be absurd,
and is simply induiged in 10y the bears to
depress the stock.

A BIG POKER STORY.
How Senator Jones is Said to Have
Won n Pile Mt Poker.

won n File AT POker
The Stockton (Cal.) Mail tells this
story: George L. Waters, the colored
janitor of the City Hall, related an Incl
dent to-day to a Mail reporter concerning
a big poker game in which Senator John
p. Jones of Nevada was a player. Waters
had been in the employ Of certain Con-
gressmen AROUND the Capitol at Washing
ton for many years, and his statement
may be accepted as true. 1t was several
years ago, before the millionaire had be-
come thoroughly posted in the ways OF
Washington society. Almost before he
had thoroughly warmed his seat in the
Senate he WAS introduced into the District
Club, of which Boss Shepherd was Il
prominent member. Poker at that time
was the prominent recreation of the club,
and Jones was induced to take "a hand.
Although a good poker player he retired
from the game a loser to the amount
Of $4,000. The Senator, having a
few silver mines at his back for
pocket money, was game, and did
not allow the least expression OF
chagrin or distrust to escape him. The
next morning he te~legraphed to one of the
most expert card sharps in Virginia City.
Eight days afterwards the gambler ar
rived in Washington, dressed in a very
expensive suit of clothes and sporting a
small fortune in the way of diamonds.
Jones introduced him to the members of
the club as a mining millionaire from Ne
vada, and the Star Route frauds and
Navy Yard thieves Immediately made
arrangements to plnck him. He accepted
an invitation to play. The stakes ran
high, and the spurious millionaire was
well supplied with Jones' money. AT the
end of the tournament the stranger rose
from the table the winner Of $500, 900 of
the money of the club. 1t was a severe
blow to the Ringsters, but they made the
people of the United States pay it back
to them indirectly and in short order.
Jones divided the swag with his friend,
and never set foot in the clubrooms again.
1t was not long after before the Ringsters
found out that they had been beaten at
their own game, but they were not in a
position to make any fuss about it,"

tain just now.
Work is progressing finely in the North
cumberland mines.
Travel to and from Belmont was unus-
ually lively this week.
There is q good lot of ore in sight in the
Jefferson s. M. Company's mine.
From V. T. Ward we learn that the
cattle on the Monitor Range are all doing
well.
Jefferson is beginning to look somewhat
lively. The new company means business.
There are now Al men in Jefferson. So
we learn from County Surveyor Woodson
Garrard.
The assessment work is now being per-
formed on the Jett Cen. and San Antonio
mining properties.
What the average mining expert don't
know about the mines and mining gen.
orally would make a very large book.
Everything is moving along as usual at
Reveille. Rich ore is still being %encount-
cred in the mines Of hat district.
Our mine owners evidently intend to
hold on to their properties, judging from
the number of men engaged in doing their
assessment work.
The Twin River Mining Company's mill
is running nicely, and the new hosting
works will soon be in running order. The
mine looks we'll.

pleasing intelligence that his niece, Miss
Florence A. Long, was married TO Or.
Horace A. Long, last Tuesday evening at
the residence of Edward Pultz, 6l Wayne
street, Jersey City, New Jersey. Mr..
Long was quite surprised at the similarity
of names, and says the groom was no rels-
ton whatever. The card is one OF the
latest designs, being a long sheet folded
over on each end, so rs to cover the names
of the couple in the center, who are united
by a lovers knot of satin cord. Mr.. Long
states that THU is the first glimpse he has
ever had of the lovers knot, and claims
that it would require a stronger rope to
hold him in the bonds of matrimony.

On the slabs within the rail are the bodies
of Charles Pope and his wife, Saturdays
suicide and murder, and behind the
screen, on tables, are the bodies of the four
Cinnamon killed by the powder explosion
at Mojave. The bodies present a sickening
sight; they are barred to the waist, and are
torn, bloody, mangled and powder-burned,
while the faces are almost unrecognizabie
and absolutely indescribable. The injuries
are various, according to the position of
the victims at the time Of the explosion.
One has his throat cut 80 as to almost
sever the body from the head; another has
his hand blown to atoms, INC 4 third his
arm barred to the bone. All are swollen
and burned.

trip up from blackberry to the Muddy and
purchased all the hay and grain to be had
in that valley, and will ship it to that
camp, which is now quite lively and pros
porous. The railroad on the Arizona side,
Burrows says, is making for some point in
Muddy Valley, and it is reported will form
a junction with the Utah Central coming
down from the north, and also the Carson
& Colorado Railroad. This looks as though
Lincoln County was going to have railroad
lines running over her territory after all.

coin. 1t the poker games very little gold
coin is seen on the tables; it is mostly all
silver and paper money. Though the

than the yellow twenties, yet it lacks that
sweet metallic ring which we all SO dearly

from the coin in another fellows pocket.
