couldn't pour in enough crude during
the night to be able to pump show of

has one advantage over Pennsylvania,
however. When fellow bores for oil

Count Contee Again.

On the evening Of the 18th Of March,
1884, Michael Dempsey, a day laborer,
under A. T. ellison, foreman Of one Of
the sections of the Iron Mountain road.
which terminates here, was robbed
near the depot of his pocket-book con-
tanning some $50 in currency, and an
Identification ticket given by the fore
man Mr.. ellison. The robbery was
committed near the depot late In the
evening, and 1t was done SO neatly, 30
quietly, and 80 quickly that Mr.. Demp-
sey never had the faintest suspicion
where the purse disappeared TO. No
arrests were made, and Mr.. Dempsey
net only lost the cash In his wallet but
also suffered the loss of months
wages in the ticket above referred to.
The excitment over the matter soon
died, and nothing of late had been
heard or even. thought of the matter
until last week after the frisky darky.
Contee, had been taken to Iront0n to
serve his sentence of ten days In the
county Jail, when his premises were
searched by Mr.: Turner and Policemen

The Democratic party at the late
session of Congress, put another
nail in their coffin by refusing to
continue the appropriations to re-
build the navy. Work on the vari-
GUS splendid iron-clads, now under
way, must be discontinued. Lying
off Mare Island, a conspicuous OBJ
ject from the line of the Southern
Pacific, is the huge hull of the
Manadnock, designed to be a first
class iron-clad, Of the monitor class,
that was launched last year and has
ever since awaited its iron sheath
ing and armament. It was in
tended for the defense of the har-
Dor of San Francisco, for which
purpose it would have proved ef-
fectual; but it must continue de-
fenseless so long as the Democracy
rule in Compensation County

THE CHOLERA.

Amid the conflicting reports that
come to us concerning the spread
of the cholera in southern France,
this fact is clear, that, while the
disease is of the well defined Ash
ate type, it is of relatively mild
character. The experience which
the people of this country have had
with this dreaded disease on other
occasions is sufficient to convince
them that if it had now the intens-
ity which characterized it when 1t
made its last visit to this country,
more than thirty years ago, there
would be a much larger rate OF NOR
tally at Toulon and Marseilles than
the reports now indicate. In the
absence of data from which infor-
nation can be obtained of the num-
Der of cases of sickness, it is impos-
sible to say what proportion Of those
who are taken sick recover from
the disease. But either the SAM
tary precautions taken have been
remarkably efficacious, or the dis
ease itself is Of such mild type
that death results from it only in a
small number of instances.
On previous occasions the cpl
demic has swept through crowded
cities, leaving thousands Of victims
behind it, and has not struck
lightly here and there, as in the
present disease. Prof. Kock, who,
no doubt, is one Of the best, if not
the best, authority on the subject
of cholera, after making a study
of the disease in southern France,
is convinced that there is no pos
sib;lity of combining it within its
present areas, and that it is only
question of time when it shall ex-
tend itself over Europe and traverse
the Atlantic ocean. But here,
again, experience has taught us
that, with time and extension OF
area, a contagion of his kind grad
ually abates in intesity, and it, at
he outset, it assumes mild type,
the conclusion may be safely drawn
that. if it ever reaches this country,
it will be even less virulent than it
is at present.
If it reaches the United States
it will probably confne itself to
the large cities and feast where it
finds filth and garbage. Every
city that has allowed the municipal
iobbers to squander the public
funds and allow sanitary improve
ments to go by the Board, will pay
the death penalty.
In Nevada we have little cause
for alarm. The air is high, dry and
pure, filed with the aromatic and
healthful orders of native sagebrush
and flooded every day with the res
inous scents of the Sierra pines,
which come mingled with the ozone
of the sea upon the steady breeze
from the coast. If it should reach
us here there is certain place OF
refuge to be found in the noun
tains, for in pine forests of high
altitude the disease never comes.

Registration.

An item is going the rounds Of
the press that people must become
naturalized ninety days before
election. This is the California
law, but does not hold in Nevada.
Here a foreign man can become a
citizen and register up to the day
the registration books close. This
year they close October 21st, and
the District Court will be held for
a couple of days just prior to that
time to accommodate all who desire
to take out their last papers.
