NEVADA'S SALVATION.

We refer particularly to Western
Nevada when speaking of the vast
mineral deposits along the line of the
c. & c. r. r., as what is likely to
prove the aslvation of Nevada. From
very many acknowledged mining ex-
psits, all practical miners, we have
received a unanimously favorable re-
port of that section of the State, and
the further South the narrow guage
pushes its sinuous length the better
becomes the outlook. There are still
some who speak of the G. g. G. as a
monopoly and they say right, but it
Is one of that class of monopolies that
lays all the expense and burden on
the corporation and gives all the bene-
fit to the people, at least such is the
case up to this time.
But for the energy of the few men
who risked their personal means in
the constructor of the road referred
to, fearfully dark prospect would be
before US at this time, for the chances
are strongly against any develops-
ment on the Comstock that will be of
general benefit and but for the c. &
G. the lodges south would have still
lain dormant, if not undiscovered. and
90 we claim that the people of West
ern Nevada have much reason to be
thankful that such men as control he
narrow gusgs possessed not only the
means but the energy to enter into
such speculation IS the G. q. r. K.
The taxes of Esmeraida county
will be greatly augmented, and so in
Lyon county; hundreds of people
will obtain employment, towns are
building up along the line of the
road; farmers will be benefited, mills
will be erected and better than all
for Carson, the number Of emyloyes
in the machine shops of the V. q I.
R. R. will be kept up if not increas
ed, and SO we say that the thanks of
the whole community OF the several
counties through which the railroad
passes, and of the Carson people, are
due to the projectors and building of
this very importantrailroad, for with
out doubt it will prove the salvation
of Western Nevada Carson Tribune.

COUNTY OFFICERS BONDS.

The law relating to county officers
bonds makes the search, for bonds
men, lively in counties such as ours.
The County Commissioners are oblig-
ed by the provisions of the Statute to
exact what is seemingly in some in
stances an unreasonable bond and as
the sureties must be residents of the
county, considerable amount of
travelling must be done by the in,
coming officer before he can secure
the requisite amount. In this and
other counties most of the property
is owned by nonresident corpora
tions, and the value of real property
in private hands is comparatively
small. Each bond must be fora sum
double the penal sum in amount, and
the bondsmen must justify in double
that amount. The bonds must be
approved by the County Commission
srs before January 1st, and it will be
seen the several county officers have
their hands full of business while Sc
curing the requisite sum. When
all the bonds are filed it is probable
that every real estate owner in the
county will be security for some per
son for q greater or less amount. 1t
10 to be remembered that the bonds
men are required to show that they
own certain amount of property over
and above all liabilities, and which is
not exempt from execution. When
the law was enacted circumstances
were different and there was plenty of
unencumbered property at the service
of those needing sureties, now there is
very little except that belonging to
non residents, which is rot available.
The new Legislature should take &C
count of this state of affairs, and either
give the County Commissioners great
er discretion in the matter Of fixing
the amount of the penal sum, or per,
NIT them to accept non resident own
ers of property within the county as
sureties.

THE propristy of adopting the
pension system in the civil service,
with life appointments, is being dis
cussed In the papers. Before such a
radical Innovation can be adopted the
entire civil service needs remodeling,
1t now PRACTICALLY represents political
official patronage, and Is consequently
loaded down with host Of unframed
incapables. Before the English sys
TEN is adopted we must start fair.
Every seless appointment should De
rescinded, every incompetent official
removed, every unnecessary office
abolished, and then, when the civil
service shall have been shaped tor et-'
fective duty only, the country may
be prepared to contemplate without
dismaJ the pensioning of old and
incapable civil officials.

CONS TIoNAL AM END
Me IT'S.

Many suppose that constitutional
convention should be called to re-
wise the State constitution. There
are provisions in the Constitution and
Statutes on the books which should
be altered, but An entire revision of
the Constitution is unnecessary as
most of the changes required can be
made by Legislative repeal of tor.
mer acts. The few amendments to
the Constitution can be recommend
ed by the next Legislature and voted
on by the people at the next election,
and tine cost of convention saved
to the State. The consolidation OF
some State and county offices can be
effected just as well by this means at
much less cost and just as quickly
as by means of convention. 1t will
be found, however, that most of the
changes needed are statutory and can
be effected this w inter il the Legis
lature so chooses.

Bill APPS Baby Talk.

The poet hath said that 40 baby in
the house is a well-spring OF pleasure.
There is bran new one here now, the
first in eight years. and it has raised n
powerful commotion. It's not our
baby. exactly. but il is in the line of
descent. and Mrs. Arp takes on over it
all the same as she used to when she
was regularly in the business l thought
maybe she had forgot how TO nurse EN-
and talk to 'em, but she is singing the
same old familiar songs that have sweet
ened the dreams of half score, and
she blesses the little eyes and sweet
little mouth, and uses the same infan-
tile language that nobody but babies
understand. For she says "tum here
to its danmudder," and hess its little
heart, and talks about its sweet little
footsy-tootsies. and holds it up to the
windows to see the wagons 20 by and
the wheels going rouny-pouny, and
now my liberty is curtailed, for as go
stamping around with my heavy farm
shoes she shakes her ominous finger at
me just as she used to do. and says
don't YOU see the baby is asleep. and so
| have to tip-toe around. and ever and
anon she wants little fire. or some hot
water. or little catnip. for the BABY is
a-crying and surely has got the collie.
The doors have to be kept shut now tor

a little hole in the window-pan about

ABOUT FURS.

There are two distincts and opposite
values OF fur. Nearly all animals from
the cold countries possess two kinds of
hair; one, called fur, lies close to the
skin. is soft, silky and barbed length
wise. This is the seal-skin as seen in
mufis, etc. The other is called over
hair. and is longer. straighter and more
rigid. The real use OF the fur is to keep
the creature warm, and by scraping
upon the under side OF the skin the roots
of the over-hair are severed, combed
out, leaving the rich fur that is so adj
mired in muis, etc This is also ex-
tremely valuable as pelting. while the
Over-hair is used for a variety of pur-
poses. The demand for furs depends
entirely upon the dictates OF tickle fash
ion, and furs that were in great demand
twenty Years ago are absolutely uncalled
for now "A fortunate circumstance. as
a continual demand upon single
species for n great number of years
would undoubtedly result in its extinc-
ton. The principal call now is for the
fur-seal and seal-otter OF the latter
about 5000 are taken yearly. They are
only found in the North Pacific islands.
The over-hair is extremely rich and fine,
reaching but little over the fur, which is
thick, close and silky, of rich brown
color. many of the hairs being tipped
with silver. 4 growth that is much imi-
tated by inserting white skunk hairs in
cheap furs. The best skins are valued
from one hundred to five hundred dol
lars, and are especially affected BY the
wealthy Chinese.
One of the most valued furs of ancient
times was the ermine or stOat--then
only the nobility were allowed to wear
them. Nestiges OF the custom are seen
frequently upon the mimic stage, where
the ermine is cotton. The demand for
them is extremely variable. though i00,-
900 are killed yearly, and obtained. the
best, from Barabinsk and Ischim. Sibe-
ria, and others from Northern Europe
and America In the summer they are
useless, their color being a dingy yell
lowish brown, changing in the winter
to pure white. except at the tip of the
tail. which is jet black. The change is
undoubtedly protective measure, rem
dering the animal invisible as it creeps
along with its peculiar snake like mo-
ton under the snow. The change is
not effected by the loss of the summer
coat. as many would suppose. but by
the actual change of color in the fur.
The skins are now rated at about $3.50
apiece. and the coat of Louis TX. was
probably worth at the time $4,000
One of the most fashionable furs is that
of the silver-fox. 1t is rich, deep,
glossy black. with BLUSH tinge; so
beautiful are they that $500 has
been given for single skin, and
La Houtan states that in his
time the skin of one OF these foxes
brought its weight in gold. Skins fire.
quently bring $3.50. Of the 1000 caught
yearly, about 1000 are used in En-
gland; and they are occasionally seen
upon the streets of New York. The
choicest skins come from LABRADOR and
For. Moon. Some are caught in Russia.
