THE courts in this state are making

was the initial OF his first name instead
OF the full name, and awarded the Ger
tifcate to the Republican candidate
The case was taken to thet Supreme
Court, and Judge Daniels has issued a
mandamus To the board to reconvene
and allow the rejected votes, which gives
the Democratic Sheriff the certificate.
In the Second Assembly District OF
Wayne County the Republicn boar 1 ar
bilrarily threw out one election district
by the ominous vote OF tot, and there.
10y counted the Republican candidate
in. This has also been taken to the
courts and Judge Macomber has ordered
that the board reconvene and count the
votes thrown outs which will give the
Democratic member his seat. In both
of these cases the recognition and en-.
forcement by the court OF the interest
of the voters decided the case. Had
like rulings been enforced In 1876 Mr..
Hayes would not have occupied the

THOSE OBSTINATE OREs.-All along
the Sierra, from the northern end of
the State to their termination in the
south, veins of ore bearing precious
metals have been discovered. Those
on the lower slopes have proven rich
and remunerative, lut those found
along the summit, as general thing,
have proven failures. The ore bearing
veins of the upper regions are large
and plainly defined, are easily mined
and return fabulous amounts under
assay, but when put to milling test
have signally failed. The excus for
failure by milling process has always
been that the ores were rehellious and
would not yie'd to the ordinary pro-
cesses. Whether this he true or not
the fact exists that the ores do not pay
bv mill process. Meadow Lake, Sill
yer Peak, Mineral King and many
other mininr districts stand as wit
nesses of the unfortunate fact. Il
does seem that somebody will soor
find the KEY to unloose all the minera
wealth that lies locked in the ore veins
along the summit of the Sierra in this
county, and we have faith that in time
the precious metals will be extracted
from them and turned loose to enricl
those who are bold enough to develop
and work them Nevada Transcript
