"LEAKY" MINERS.

The public have been caught ont
again by the unprincipled manip-
u'ators of the Comstock. The drift
now goirg at . snail's pace toward
the Union ledge will not get there
until the insiders are ready, and in
deed it is safe thing to assume
that there IS to-day no man outside
the mine who knows to q positive
certainty that any work is being
done there at all. The change of
shift has suspicious look. The
reason assigned for the change was
that they we're too ''leaky." In
other words, if q man working in
. mine tells stockhoder of the
mine what is being done on the
stockholders own property, be is
pronounced ''leaky" and dis
charged TIE Union n.anaSers,
while telling newspaper interview
ers that their only desire is to have
everything open and above board.
now show their utter untrustwor-
thiness and insincerity by dis
charging miners who tell what is
being done in the drift. AS the
matter now stands not a SINCE as
say of the Burleigh drill goes to
the public, yet a stakeholder OF
Eve shares has as much right to
that assay as Patton, Flood or
Sherwood. TIE drill is eight feet
ahead If the face Of the drift and
this "small percentage" as the
Chronicle calls it, gives the insiders
q chance to make million dollars
where outsiders lose everything.
How long the public will submit to
this jugglery and tbimble- rigging
remains to be seen. They have
st,od it good many years and vii!
probably continue to accep. the
situation submissively.

John ll.Kenna.s Death

The Walker Lake Bulletin gives
the following particulars of John
McKenua's death Last We'd
nesiay evening John McKenna, O.
D. Lang, George Logan, Fred Os
good and Lige Ellis drove down to
Walker Lake for swim. After
swimming short time they all
started for shore, passing McKenna
on the way in. When they passed
him he wading in the shall ow water,
but short distance from the beach
and, had nothing happened, would
have been out almost as soon az
they. After after all were dressed,
they missed him, and Ellis finally
waded out in the direction in which
he was last seen and found him
floating on his face dead. The
water was about three feet deep
where he was found, and this, in
connection with the fact that lie
was an exec lie Mt swimmer, leads to
the bell, that he was taken with n
apoplectic fit. His friends had not
been on shore five minutes. when,
being in a hurry, they called for
him to come out, and, receiving no
answer after repe~'ed Gals, Ellis
thought something must have hap
pened and went out for him.

A Grand Success at Summit
Point.

On the morning of August goth,
our village presented a lively appear
ancc Notwithstanding the threatening
clouds. It was the time appointed
for the laying of the Cornerstone of
the NJ. L. Church South. At about
IL A. NJ, the crowd began to as
semble, and at l p. NJ. the Masons
laid the cornerstone, with the usual
rites, containing mementoes used
upon such occasions-ncwspap
coins, &c. An able and eloquent adj
dress was delivered by Hon. VIM. L.
Wilson, of Charlestown, after which
a bountiful table was spread with
substantials and dclicacies to satisfy
the inner man; also an ice-cream and
confectionery stand offered refresh
ments, of which many persons par
took freely. We all thought it would
be an enjoyable as well as profitable
occasion, and we were paid for our
eXertions and realized the handsome
sum of one hundred and sixty dol
lar, clear of expenses, in aid of the
religious enterprise.

take this opportunity to thank the
ladies in and around Summit Point
for their bountiful generosity, as well
as their help and presence, as with
out their assistance they could have
done nothing. They also tender their
thanks to the SmithlieId Band for
their beautiful music, which cnlivcncd
the occasion considerably.
We were much favored by the
presence of the Presiding Elder, DR..
Whisner; his remarks were timely
and well expressed.
TO the citizens generally, of both
Jefferson and Clarke, we extend our
gratitude for responding so literally.
