AS the discovery of nickle on this CO .Ist
says the Sacramento Union, has opened
new field OF mining industry, and one
which has every indication of becoming
equal To the COmstock in richness, tho
Union concluded to gather the facts. Ia
this discovery, as in hundreds of other
great finds, these mines have been lying
for years in plain sight OF stage
road, where people constantly travel
without even notice. Many samples of
the orc have been sent to different
assayers for copper, but none ever took
the trouble to analyze the rock until it
was sent to this city. In 1881 samples of
this ore were sent TO Charles Bell for cop
per assay. Upon examination it was found
TO contain a large per cent. of nickel.
More of the ore being secured, it was
analysed, proving the first result. Upon
this showing, William ). Bell was sent To
d scover the locations, aud succeeded in
finding the richest and most valuable
nickel property ever discovered. The dis
covery being kept as secret as possible,
little was known as To its extent until
recently. The property is located in the
northern portion of Churchill county, Ne
vada.
The property has been well prospectcd,
aud the largest bodies of this mineral eX-
posed that has ever been known. The
nickel ores Of Pennsylvania average but ,
per cent. They are reduced on the ground
To 10 per cent, and sent to Camden, N. j.,
where they are again reduced aud the metal
extracted. The nickel found in Oregon has
also been opened, but to what exteut can
not be ascertained. Thirty tons of the
Nevada nickel were sent to London, which
which graded cot per cent. These mines
are the only ones yet discovered that
carry uniformly the three distinct charac
ters, viz. :-Arseniuret, which is gray ish,
metallic red and arseniate, beautiful
apple green and arSente, having dark
metallic lustre. AS developments progress
the former characters are merged into the
latter, caused by non oxidation. Several
samples shown 10 reporters have assayed
both by Edwin Booth, of San Francisco,
and Charles Bell, of Sacramento, 65i and
66t per cent, being the richest ever dis
covered in the world.

FRIDAY EVENING, OCT. 10. 1888.
Ohio Politics and Politicians.

However gratifying the result OF the
Ohio elections may be to the Democrats,
q review of the events leading up to them
aud OF the influences operating in the
campaign recently closed there, cannot
fail to suggest the rather obnoxious
prominence in their respective parties Of
John r. Mclean and Charles Foster.
1t is true that the latter has been badly
flattened out and, though Mclean en-
joyed a measurable degree of success in
having controlled the nomination of the
winning legislative ticket in Cincinnati,
yet he owes his election to the generous
co operation of Mr.. Pendleton's friends
and in the state at large he has not sue
ceeded in his inveterate purpose of secur-
inga majority of the Democratic mem
bers of the Legislature hostile to Mr..
Pendleton.
The canvass and its result proved that
under the leadership of Foster the Re
publicans nominated weak man, behind
whom and propping him up was Foster
himself, as a candidate for the United
States Senate. No smaller man than
Foster has been cast up IN the political
eruption of late years. With little abil-
ity and no fitness for public life, without
knowledge of or interest in the good of
the people, he has yet been able to crowd
himself forward into place and some
thing Of prominence. He has done this
simply by the deft use of money and
smiles. His temporary success is a
reflection on American intelligence.
Mclean who plays the role of boss in
the ranks of the Democratic party, is a
young man who has prostituted a news
paper to nasty and sensational reports
and to the lowest appeals which can be
made to the cupidity aud the passions OF
men. Heknows nothing of public ques
tions and cares less, aud hates men
who assume to have ideas or profess
adhesion to principles. Yet this mau
has held large portion of his party in
awe of his influence, and throughout the
campaign INDUCED necessarily in coarse
and vulgar abuse of Mr.. Pendleton. who
was all the while giving his best en-
deavors to the success of his party and
its regular nominees.
1t may be that Ohio can find a better
Democrat and stronger man than Pen
dleton fer the Senate. He is not by any
means great senator and is dwarfed
for instance by the side of that rugged
intellectual giant, Allen G. Thurman.
IL the Ohio Democrats should see tit to
restore him to his old place, they will do
credit to themselves and receive credit
from their party in other states. But
Mr.. Pendleton ought not TO be beaten to
crafty the malice and serve the ends of
the McLeans. 1t would be sorry day
for Ohio when such an end is reached
by the ignoble means which that faction
generally employ.

Ihe thecEered career OF Virginia Morse
Thief.
During the last five months about every
ak weeks very genteel young man has
been staying over night at Kreider's Rail
road house, in Quarryviile. He always
had two or three horses with him, which
were for sale or trade. lie hailed from
Virginia and represented himself To be a
regular horse dealer starting from that
state and going on TO Philadelphia, where
he always sold the balance Of tho stock
The last time he was over the road was
only few weeks ago. lie has now
retired from the horse business
and is boarding in Cherry Hill prison,
Philadelphia, from which place he shall
come to be judged for the deeds done in
old Virginia. His capture during his last
trip was made by Detective Alfred Z. Bye,
OF Philadelphia, from information and dc.
scriptions sent him of horses that had
been stolen about Fairfax Court House,
Va. The detective was ON the lookout for
them, and finally found the young man
alluded to Offering for sale one of the
horses answering the description. He
promptly arrested him and had some of
the parties who had lost horses come on to
view the suspected property.
Two of those from whom horses have
been stolen were j. w. Graham, esq.,
clerk Of the court of Fairfax county, and
DR.. f. NJ. Welty, of the same county.
These two gentlemen went TO Philadel
phia, but did not find their horses IN the
city. They then visited the young man in
prison aud found him to be Eugene Murry
whose father was q respectable old man
and we'll known to both. When the young
man saw them he was completely broken

lie then told them where he had sold
and traded their horses and from such iH
formation they started at onde for the
places designated. On Wednesday Mr..
Graham secured his at Quarryville, from
Jacob NJ. Eckman, who got him from e.,
ii. Miller, he having bought him from
William Colyin of "The Jack Tavern"
York county. The latter gentleman
bought him from Murry, the man who
stole him. Mr.. Graham and DR.. Welty,

IL the Electric Light company In Detnuit
R.alfuu EayIa


Reading Eagle
The electric light, So far as giving the
81 reefs of Reading sufficient light To meet
the demand of the citizens, has not been =
success. Reading had better aud a stead
ier light when the streets were Illuminated
with gas, made by the Reading gas com
pauy, than it has now by using the uncCr
tain tlickering electric light. Every dis
interested obscrvant citizen will testify to
this fact. To be sure, new enterprise
like the electric light should be given a
fair trial before it is condemned. But has
not the electric light had a fair trial The
electric light company agreed to furnish
the streets IF Reading the light at an
carrier day by more than a month than it
did. In this the company has been in
default.
The electric light company agreed with
this city that the uaptha light it would
use in lighting the streets would be equal
in brilliancy TO the gas furnished by the
Reading gas company. \ comparison be-
tween the gas Of the Reading company
and the naptha light shows the latter to be
much inferior to the latter in candle light
power. Iu the early morning the me
chanic, laboring man and all others who
are compelled to leave their homes before
| daylight have to walk the streets
10 the dark. This was not the
case when the Reading gas company
had the contract to light the streets Of
this city, and it should not be so now.
! The electric light company we believe,
should have and we think it has had fair
trial and the opinion Of large majority
of the Reading people is that this city
would have saved money aud had better
light, had it never adopted the electric
light. Unless the electric light company
can do better soon by the people, should
not councils consult the city solicitor to
ascertain whether the electric light com
pauy has not broken its contract with the
city of Reading?

Gov. MURRAY, of Utah, wants it to

Those who know the governor of Utah

those who have any respect for the civil

military power of the federal govern

A Money Making Concern.

A good many people in Lancaster
county have recently been victimized by
a couple of fellows who have conceived
the bright idea of publishing county his
tories and obtaining their profit by in
dulging the whim that weak men
have to see their pictures printed.
These people have lately published
a big book which is suppc sed to
contain history, biographical and
general, of Lancaster county and
they are industriously engaged in prepar-
ing similar county histories wherever they
can find enough cash and crediblity
to make the game profitable. They
struck rich lead in Lancaster county
finding there gratifying number of peo-
pie to pay them from fifty to two hundred
and fifty dollars for publishing their
portraits and some even who were
magnificent enough to pay literally for
full page illustrations of their dwellings
and farm buildings. We do not observe
any pictures of horses, cattle or pigs in
the miscellaneous assortment, though
some of the portraits are SO exceedingly
grotesque as to be scarcely human. 1t
is to be presumed that when these gen.
tlemeu engaged to pay for their portraits
their understanding was that the pic.
lures should be respectable lkenesses,
bat certainly they never had the proofs
submitted to them for examination, or
many of them would have paid great
deal of money for their suppression. To
those of the victims who ordered their
own portraits in the book we need not
extend Il great deal of sympathy but
for such as have been induced by filial
affections to pay for the portraits of
their ancestors, we have a great deal OF
sympathy. They were naturally induced
to believe ttat their relatives were of
such consequence In the history of Ian.
caster county that their portraits should
not be omitted from the record, They
were told that the sentiments of the
community demanded the perpetuation
of their ancestors lineaments; and they
yielded to the idea from very generous
impulses. That they should have been
the victims of "a money making conspir.
acy and be required to pay for miserable
pictures painted in flashy book of little
value, is lamentable. That the people
of other districts may not be likewise
victimized we give this much notice in
warning let them beware of this history
