IN APATHETIC PEOPLE.

1t would be hard to find people
more dead to their own interests
than the Inhabitants of Carson.
Since the order to close the Mint
was received, absolutely nothing
has been done to secure the rescind-
ing Of that order. 1t is our opin-
ion that the order was made under
a misrepresentation of existing facts.
The ground upon which the order
is based, sets forth the idea that
Nevada no longer can be looked
upon as a bullion producing country.
The idea has gone abroad that this
State is playedout mining camp.
The facts Of the ease are that
lust now Nevada is producing more
bullion than at any time during the
past five years. There is just now
no excitement upon the Comstock
in stock matters, but the mines
are turning out enough bullion to
keep all the mills on the Carson
river going at full blast, and at the
present writing every stamp along
the river is running night and day.
The Comstock today is producing
enough bullion to keep the Carson
Mint IN full operation the year
round. The outside districts are
doing remarkably we'll. Saltwater,
Eureka, Red Canon and the new
gold discoveries near Hawthorne
are yielding literally.
Aside from the bonanza days.
Nevada was never producing more
actual bullion than now, and the
day will meyer be seen, by the
present generation, when Ne
vada cannot produce enough bul,
lion to run the Mint.
IF these facts are properly set
forth at the public meeting called
for Saturday evening, and sent to
Washington they will be entitled to
consideration whether they get 1t
or not

FOR DIPSOMANIACS .

There is famous prescription IN
use in England for the cure OF
drunkenness, by which thousands
are said to have been assisted in re-
covering themselves. The prescrip-
ton came into notoriety through
the efforts of John Vine Hall com
mander of the steamship Great
Eastern. He had fallen into such
babitual drunkenness that his mos t
earnest efforts to reclaim himself
proceed unavailing. At length he
sought the advice of an ancient
nhysician. who gave him prescrip-
ton which he followed faithfully
for seven months. At the end of
that time he had lost all desire for
liquor, although he had many times
been led captive by most debaslng
appetite. The prescription, which
he afterwards published and by
which so many drunkards have been
assisted to reform, is az follows:
Sulphate of iron, 5 grains; mag
nesia, 10 grains; peppermint. II
drachm>; spirit Of nutmeg, l
drachm; twice day.
This preparation acts as tonic
and stimulant; and SO partially sup
plies the place of the accustomed
liquor, and prevents that absolute
physical and moral prostration
which follows a sudden breaking
of from the use of stimulating
drinks. -e s..s.-+ .sas v.ag

Some time ago Thomas Sawtelle,
an old prospector and miner, died
in his cabin at Mineral Hill, this
county. He died intestate, and 1t
was believed by his friends that he
was without means. VIM. Elem
ming, an old and highly respected
citizen of that section, has been on
friendly terms with Mr.. Sawtelle
for many years, and he made 1t
point to see that his deceased
friends remain were properly ln-
tered. A nice casket was pro-
cured, and every possible civlllty
attended the interment, the eX-
pense of all of which, we believe,
was borne by Mr.. Flemming alone.
1t appears. that some three weeks
ago the last named gentlemen de-
cided to tear down the deserted
cabin, and while doing so he un-
earthed 500. Believing there
might 0e more money about the
structure he made dilligent search
and found over $500 more all in
coin. \ silver ring and few
other unimportant triukets were
also fund. The discoveries form a
small estate, Of which Mr.. Elem
ming has been appointed admins
