ESPECIAL TO THE sESrIsEL.l
SAN Francisco, Nov. IA Chronicle
New York special gives the opinions OF the
New York papers on the situation OF the
Presidential vote:
The Tribune says: The official canvass
Was completed yesterday, so far as heard
from, in 81 counties Of New York. No
considerable change is made in these
counties from previously accepted figures.
1t is idle to dispute or dogmatize over q
margin so narrow in a vote so large and
with 30 many points Of irregulsrity, or
worse yet to be passed upon. IL is not
the time either TO be oversanguine OF sue
cess or to give up the case. We can only
hope for the result for which we have been
labOring.
The Sun says: In Al counties in
which the canvass was completed,
the result agreed remarkably with
the figures printed in the Sun, with
very slight changes. From day to day,
since Friday Of last week, the losses and
gains on both sides counterbalance. 1t
was announced last night ut the National
Democratic headquarters that after a
thorough examination of the vote OF New
York City, the Republican counsel have
agreed upon the canvass OF figures already
accepted and announced by the Demo-
Gratis, so there will be no contest over the
Presidential count.
The World says: The counties which
completed their work yesterday, about two
thirds Of the State, show no change Of any
account in the semi-oficial figures
already published. leaving the plurality
about l.3l7 for Cleveland. There is not a
change OF more than 20 votes In the entire
list OF counties thus far canvassed. There
is no contention or discovery of any ma
terial errors so far.
The Chronicle, in commenting on the
above opinions, says: As the returns by
counties OF the official canvass come in, IL
becomes more and more apparent that If
oleveland's plurality, as originally stated.
Is 10 be overcome, aud the State be secured
Tor Blaine, it must be done in New York
City or Brooklyn, or in both.

The Sacramento Record Union speak of us
in these terms: An Eastern paper calls at
tention to the fact that there are but 10000
people in the State of Nevada to bear the
burden and dignity of q State. II has long
been a matter of chagrin that Neyada's de-
CLINE in population has brought her to such
a pass. Nevsda's expectation has not been
realized, and to-day she plays" the part
of a State. But her population are won
derfully persistent. They believe in her
possibilities and look forward, and not
without reason, to a bright future for the
commonwealth. Mining is by no means
extinct; agricultural resources are develop
ing, not long ago deemed impossible in Ne
vada, and in other directions also good
promises before her.

Water! Water ELECTION News.
Willow Geek is looking up. The Ohio
mine, recently sold to the "Brooklyn Min
ing Company" of Salt Lake, has added a
~half-dozen miners to its force, and as soon
as a lodging-house for the miners is
erected as many more will be put on.
The work is being prosecuted under the
management Of Mr.. William Carruthers,
an old-timer in White Pine but lately
from Salt Lake. A good deal of rich ore
is being taken out and the mine promises
to be a big one. The mill of the "Silver
Wave Company" owned by McColley &
McLaren, which recently furnished q two
months run under the guidance of a
scientific gentleman from Boston named
Thompson, is soon to be started up again
with Bill Mayor. Of Eureka, as Superin-
tendent. This company mines are being
opened up under new management and a
few months active development will tell
something about their true inwardness.

Election day was celebrated by a gath
ering of the clans at Rebel Greek, four
miles below here, where the polls were
opened. Miners came down from the
hills and ranches and came up from the
valleys. What is it in this Nevada climate
that makes men who lead outdoor lives so
lean, scrawny and bilious-looking2 Out

fellows, with not enough flesh to keep
their bones from rafting in q big wind.

GOOD MINERS R

Good miners are scarce. There are
plenty of men here. but a great many of
them belong to that class who are always
looking for work and always praying to
God they won't find it. Credit is easy.
A little grub-a good deal of whisky and
tobacco. A sunny spot in the canyon
where the rye grass is thick and there
ambition ceases. With ~bronzing front,
turned to the warm November sun, these
brawny fellows, like the girl in the song,
''lie dreaming the happy hours away"
spinning Comstock yarns and waiting for
a boom, while their claims lie idle on the
hillsides with the grass roots hardly in
jured for next years growth.

INTELLIGENT MULES.

Pete Roberti is here with his family,
and Angelo Defanti, both Eureka men,
with a pack train of 16 mules. They are
busy packing ore from a mine about eight
miles distant to the mill. 1t is a pretty
sight when the train is coming down one
of the winding trails into the canyon,
each little animal swaying under the
weight of his load and turning SO care
fully the sharp angles in the zigzag trail,
the men riding behind entertaining the
mules with q running fire of compliments
in Italian, the intelligent beasts seeming
to understand the language perfectly, es-
pecially when it is emphasized by frequent
application of the blacksnake.
A good many vaqueros among the crowd,
men who had spent their lives on horse
back, that part of them from the saddle to
the crown of the head had been SO jounced,
and squatted, and settled that they were
shorter bodied by six inches than they
should be, and the extra length had run
into their legs. Awkward as ducks afoot,
but in the saddle they were models of ease
and grace. 1t was fine to see them after
depositing their four by twelve ballot,
mount their half wild horses and 60 tear
ing down the long s~age-covered slope to-
wards the valley, horse and rider as ont
piece moving in perfect harmony. We
could trace their course long after they
were lost to sight by their spiral column
of dust rising from the arid plains.

At Rebel Greek Station, kept by the
snapp Brothers, one may see what can be
done in our Nevada soil with a little water
and industry. The house is EMPOWERED
in q fine grove Of poplar trees, while the or
chard behind the house affords a dozen
varieties of delicious fruit. Tomatoes
ripen we'll and all sorts of garden produce
flourishes.
Up Willow Greek Canyon two little
ranches are yielding bountiful harvests.
At Minors place six tons of potatoes and
three ons Of turnips were taken from a
patch not much larger than the Richmond
Stag dump-some of the turnips as large
and as heavy as a mans head after a cham
payne supper. All this out of common
sagebrush land, q thousand acres of which
would starve a cayote before water was
turned ON to 1t and a little honest labor
expended in cultivation. What glorious
State this would be if water was as plenty
as whisky, but it never will be until we
get Government appropriations for sinking
artesian wells in all the valleys.

NOT A BREEZE OF ANY SORT.

There was no excitement at the polls.
The crowd stood around In little knots
quitely discussing the situation or talking
on business topics. The day was simply
perfect. The bright sun and balmy air
made every one feel happy and lazy-even
frequent visits to q haystack which con-
cealed a demijohn which served not to
break the monotony. The quiet was al
most oppressive, and we sighed for q few
