Tho Cows Tooth.

The granger editors of California
are disposed to dlscredit the ac'
count given in the APPEAL of a
cows tooth covered with gold, and
the Shasta Democrat says the story
is a canard because it spoke OF
upper ana lower teeth, and the
Democrat AYERS that cows have no
upper teeth. The Sacramento Bee,
in the interests of scientific fact,
points out what an ass the Demo-
crat man must be to make such a
statement. Cows have no upper
front teeth, but they have back
teeth in both jaws. The tooth in
question has beer examined by DIR.
Southworth, the dentist, and he
pronounces the tooth genuine and
the plating not done artificially.
The Sacramento Bee has our thanks
for its splendid defense of our po-
sitiOn.

Alone.
The Carson Free lance takes thu
, following business view of the min
ing in Red Canyon and Silver
Glance
Business men who are depending
on prospectors to develop the coun-
try for them are liable to be disap-
pointed Tie prospector, like
other mortals, considers his own
interests first. There are several
illustrations Of this fact in the
vicinity Of Carson. At the Noun
tain House, on the Bodie road, Will
lard and Mcdonald are working a
gold ledge. They have a miniature
two stamp mill run by a water
wheel on one Of the mountain
streams near the mine. They
mine and mill about ton Of rock
a day and realize a profit of from
$50 to $50 on each ton of rock so
worked. When they need money
one Of them takes gold bullion to
the Mint sufficient for all require
ments of their business, pays all
bills and returns to work, happy
and contented. They owe no one
a dollar and a mining excitement
in their neighborhood would only
be an annoyance. They are under
no obligations to the public to create
a market, or to take their gold out
Of the mine and scatter it through
the channels Of trade. 1t is much
safer where it is and when their
mine is worked out there will be no
big mill plant on their hands.
In Red Canyon district, Mcknight
has ledge where he took out about
$1,000 with hand mortar in one
day last Fall and now has much
larger amount in sight. He is
working for the interests of Nc
knight.
Charley Knox has been working
alone for years on a ledge about
mile north of Meningitis. During
this time he has gone to his work
many a day hungry and cold when
potatoes were rotting in the cellars
in Carson Valley only few miles
below him, but people were waiting
for him to develop the country so
that they could sell these potatoes.
Last December he found rich
chimney of gold quartz in his ledge
and with hand mortar soon had all
that he wanted. Last Thursday he
cut the same chimney of rich rock
on a lower level and will probably
lay away a few thousand dollars
in gold dust f.; but, very naturally,
feels under no obligations to those
who saw him working hungry and
cold to find this gold.
People who are depending on
these prospectors for a mining
boom will be disappointed. Mining
oooms do not originate in this way.
in a camp where there is
IS rich rock as there is in Red Can
ION and Silver Glance. If it had
,nly speculative value and was
'un on the assessment plan, things
would be different.
