The Review in its last issue cheekily es-
says to point out the course for Republic
cans to follow in their selection of legis-
lative candidates. As matter of course
its malignity toward Senator Sabin
shines forth in distended proportions,
but Mr.. Wise shows monumental gall in
supposing Republicans will do the aveng-
ing angel act in his interest. This pusi-
luminous editor, whose milk and water
advocacy of the interests of his own par
ty is continually a matter of remark,
would doubtless be pleased if by his of.
fcious meddling the Republicans should
be thrown into quarrel over Legislative
candidates, but he will be grieyously
disappointed. That party will nomi.

Wise, for it is certain his wishes will
have no weight IN their selection, anc

party or individual is all bosh. The treasurer
has never once thought of inquiring into the
politics of the stockholders of any bank with
whom he sees proper to do business. He
keeps the bulk of his deposits in five st. Paul
banks, one of which is the Bank of Minnesota,
kSpsxn TO be owned and controlled by Demo
Gratis. The Globe endeavors. to mislead the
people by intimating that the treasurer is in
the habit of borrowing money when he has
plenty at his command. Now as matter of
fact, which the Globe must know, the laws of
the state sanctions an overdraft of the rev.
enue fund not to exceed S200, 200, hence the
money in the bank exceeding the allowable
overdraft, cannot be touched. The treasurer
borrows money from the banks where he
keeps his deposits, for the simple reason that
he cannot get it for the same rate of interest
(6 per cent? from other banks. The treasury
was in the same condition two years ago, a
fact the Globe must have been aware Of at the
time.
To my question of "why the Globe did not
say something about it then and suggest a
remedy?" Globe representative answered: ut
was different kind of campaign then" Little
does the Globe care for the burdens of the tax
payers 1t Is votes that are wanted for the
Democratic candidates and they hope to get
them by misrepresenting the true state OF the
financial affairs of the state.

UNDER DEMOCRATIC RULE.

Public Examiner Kenyon, than whom
no one in the state has greater knowl-
edge of its financial amid other affairs,
said: - $780,
The only debt worth considering which
stands against the state today is the railroad
bond debt, which was incurred under demo.
cratic administration. The state owes to-day
which is sl7s,425 annually. The policy of the
state has been to pay this If possible, without
increasing the rate of taxation, and it is this
that has kept the revenue fund so low. But
the state is in better condition financially
than 1t was two years or even one year ago.

There is simply nothing in this whole thing

on the dollar every day and night IN the year.

Let Us All smile.

The Austin Reveille is still running as
a daily. The Journal copied the suspen.
sion from the Gazette. Good joke all
around.-Reno Journal.
The Gazette got the item from the Eu.
reka Sentinel. II is now in order for
Cassidy to explain. Reno Gazette.
In reply to the above we would state,
that in the latter part Of December one
of the proprietors of this paper was in
Austin, and was there informed that, ow.
ing to the dull times, caused by the sus-
pension Of work by the Manhattan CON-
pany, that the Reveille intended to
suspend the publication Of its daily and
run it as a weekly, and at that time it
seemed to be a settled fact that the
change would be made on or about the
first Of January. But when il became
generally known that the Reveille was
about to be changed from q daily to 3
weekly, the snterprising merchants and
citizens Of Austin stood in" with the
and the change was not made.
We are pleased to know that the Reveille
not compelled to make the contem-
plated change, and hope that il and the
town Of Austin will be so prosperous that
no change in its publication will be neces.
for the next quarter Of . century.

sTEwAKT,

The Salt Lake Tribune thus speaks Of
our new Senator: 1t will be seen that
Senator Stewart is moving to have the
Alien Land Act amended in a way to
meet the wants Of the miners in the Ter.
ritories. Stewart is worth o host Of do
nothing Senators; and then, he is not
only a worker, but he has q practical
head that makes every bit Of his work
count. Another beauty about him is his
administrative ability. II he has twenty
things on hand for the day when he gets
up in the morning. he, over his coffee,
arranges how to meet every one, and each
one is met and disposed of. Again, he
v forgets for q second time that,
while Senator from Nevada in particular,
he is a Senator of the United States, and
that anybody has a right to make a claim
upon him in the line Of his duties. So
he finds time to do all that is asked OF
him, and what he undertakes is we'll
done. Then, again, he fully appreciates
his position and makes other men appre.
ciate it, and so he never fails to com.
mand the respect Of his colleagues. He
is. all in all, a wonderfully equipped man.

j. X. Ryan, assayer at the Carson
Mint informs the Chronicle that the re-
ceipts of bullion have largely increased
during the past quarter. The Hale q
Norcross, Savage, YELLOW Jacket, Alta,
and in fact, all the bullion produced
from mines on the Comstock lode,
except the Con. G. & Va. is sent to
Carson. Also a large proportion pro-
duced in other portions of the State.
In answer TO a question OF why 1t
costs a greater PERCENTAGE of value OF
bullion to part it at the Carson Mint
than at any other as stated in the
Directors annual report, Mr.. Ryan res
piled that bullion can be handled at
Carson as cheaply as at other mints,
provided there is enough OF 1t shipped
there.
The same force is required to handle
500, 900 worth OF bullion monthly that
could handle ten times that amount.
Mr.. RYAN is OF the opinion that II
the Mint is kept in operation the eur
rent year it will prove as near self
sustaining as any Of the branches, as
there is a prospect for a large increase
in its business.

DISTRICT
The Most Extensive Mineral
Belt in the World.
Official Record Of the 0re-Producing
Mines Of the Camp.
ABSTRACT OF THE ASSESSORS
BOOKS SINCE 1878.

The Net Yield Of Two Hundred and
Thfrty.four Mines-Not . District
on Earth 60 Equal the Number of
Dur Mines-some Interesting Fig
ures that DO Not Lie.
We have said in the above heading that
Eureka District comprises the most ex.
tensive mineral belt in the world. We
propose TO prove il. Through the cour.
tesy Of Assessor Wallace we have an ab-
stract OF the Assessors books since 1873
the time Of the organization Of Eureka
county. There is no record here Of what
this county had yielded for the four years
prior to the creation Of the county. as il
then formed a portion of Lander county.
The item must have been very large. 1t
is also large since 1873. In round num-.
bers the mines Of Eureka county have
yielded bullion to the value Of about
eighty millions Of dollars. This is the
gross output. The Assessors office deals
with the net product. which aggregates
nearly fifty millions. But IL is the great
number Of mines that have yielded from
one thousand dollars to fifteen millions
that will astound all who are not familiar
with our wonderful mineral resources
They reach the surprising number OF
two hundred and t~hirty-fvei What
other mining district anywhere can begin
to compare with it, The celebrated
Comstock lode, with all Of its great
wealth, never furnished one.third the
number Of reproducing mines; and we
may say with confidence that no section
Of the same extent in the whole world
can make a showing equal to Eureka
District. In the extent Of our mineral
territory and the number Of our mines
we stand without a successful rival. And
we have struggled along without outside
capital. Outside OF Ruby Hill we have
had but few strong companies in the dis.
trict. The great mass Of good prospects
have scarcely been more than scratched.
We believe that there are hundreds Of
splendid mines in this section. We fur.
ther believe that in five years from to.
day there will be twenty men employed
in the camp where there is one now.
More than that, we believe that there
will be great paying mining operations
going IN here long after the youngest
child now in Eureka shall have passed to
its eternal rest. But why indulge opin-
ions. Let us get down to figures.
We could not give a complete list Of
the whole 234 mines which appear on the
Assessors books. The statement would
be too voluminous for our columns. We
must therefore be content with present
ing the net record of 62 Of the more i'm
portant producers. The official record
speaks for itself, and needs no further
explanation or comment at our hands. II
