Victims Commences.
Delay is 40 longer possible. The de-
composed corpses will inevitably breed
pestilence if longer exposed to the air.
At h first break Of dawn this morning
orders were issued to push preparations
for the gigantic burial with all possible
speed. Where there is no reasonable
hope for Identification the bodies will be
buried at once. 1t is probable that by
evening there will be at least 5000 new
graves in the valley, many of which will
be unmarked for all time.

Why There Is No Game i.

Hunters who have been down to the Big
Bend and the Sink Of the Carson report game
scarcer than ever before. The reason for
this is said to be because last season the
Putes slaughtered the young ducks by the
hundreds before they were able to get out Of
range of gun. They not only killed the
young ducks but despoiled the ducks nests Of
thousands Of eggs in breeding time. If this
business is kept up for few more seasons
there will not be duck between here and
the Sink. Al it is they are very few. A
stop should be put to this slaughter Of game,
but how it is going to be done we are unable
to tell. The law seems to have no effect on
the Piutes, and nobody seems to have time
TO watch them. The only kick is made when
party Of hunters travel hundred miles or
more and bag but dozen ducks or SO on the
trip,

The Good Hone.

The Walker Lake Bulletin Of Wednesday
says: Nelson and Johnson have just finished
a six months lease on the Good Hope ctaim,
and they shipped about nine tons of ore to
the mill which will average $500 to the ton
One ton Of assorted ore is valued at 5000.
The Good Hope bids fair to become one OF
the best mines in the district. The ledge
varies in width from three to six feet, and
has every indication Of permanent and con.
tinuous vein. This claim is the property OF
George Box and John Striker. During the
past three years Mr.. Striker has spent every
dollar he possessed in the development Of
the claim, besides his own labor, and now he
hopes to receive his reward. The owners
have purchased an ore car and other necessa.
ry machinery. and are going to work on the
claim in good earnest. Nelson and Johnson
offered 80 per cent. for a renewal of the
lease. but the owners prefer to try it now on
their own account.

The storm.

Sunday last the storm which had long been
threatening broke upon US. The rain fell
steadily for several hours, and Monday and
Tuesday it raned quite hard at intervals.
Exactly how much moisture fell is not known
but the earth received a thorough soaking
The foot hills were covered with snow for
several mornings, and at Como about foot
and half Of snow fell. In the Sierra New.
ada mountains the snow fall was quite heavy,
which will insure water in the streams for
some time. The Carson river has risen so
that there is head enough to run all the
mills for some weeks unless a freeze up &C.
ours. The storm seems to have been general
throughout the State and it has been of great
value to mill men as we'll as ranchers. The
water that has even now gone to waste for
want Of a storage reservoir at the head Of
the Carson is considerable. The storm is
not over yet, and Indications are that much
more moisture will fall in the shape OF snow
or rain before we again have clear weather.

The Chamber or Torture

Is the apartment to which the unhappy suf.
ferer from inaammatory rheumatism is con-
fined. II, ere the crisis Of pain is reached.
that fine preventive, Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, is used by persons Of rheumatic
tendency, much unnecessary suffering is
avoided. Nervines, anodynes and sedatives,
while having none but specific effect, are
yet very desirable at times. Yet can they
produce no lasting effect upon rheumatism,
because they have no power to eliminate from
the blood the rheumatic virus. Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters does this, and checks at the
outset disease which, il allowed to gain
Roadway, it is next TO impossible to dislodge
or to do more than relieve. Rheumatism, it
should be remembered, is a disease with a
fatal tendency from its proneness to attack
the heart. A resort to the Bitters should,
therefore, be prompt. Dyspepsia, kidney
complaint, malaria and nervousness are re.
lieved by it.

NEVADA WEATHER.
Director Friends Report for the
Month Of October.

The terrible drought has at last been brok.
en-. The rainfall during the month was gen.
orally unusually heavy in all counties except
in the southeastern portion Of Humboldt
county, and in Storey and Churchill counties.
1t was well distributed throughout the
State, as will be shown by the fact that an
average Of one inch and forty-eight hun.
dredths Of precipitation fell at every report
ing station in the State. The average rainfall
for the State, I.48, is one inch and eleven.
hundredths higher than that Of October,
1888, and fftysix hundredths Of an inch in
excess Of the normal. Rivers and streams
throughout Nevada have risen somewhat,
but are still low. Some Of the mills in the
mining regions have resumed work. The
general aspect Of the country was considera.
bly, changed by the generous rains. Nearly
all Of the precipitation reported was in the
form of rain. Snow fell at Tuscarora,
Burners Ranch, Eureka and Virginia City,
ranging from two to eleven inches. There
was no snow on the ground at any Of the
stations on the last day Of the month.
Taken all in all the weather conditions dur
ing October have been very favorable and
farmers, cattle and millmen are in conse.
qaence jubilant, the prospects being better
at present than they have been for several
months past.

THE TRIUMPH OF SILVER.

The Sil0ey Dollar truthfully portrays the
| financial situation in the annexed:
The triumph Of silver is near at hand.
Nearly II years ago, by base conspiracy.
silver was demonetized in the United States.
For FIVE long years not silver dollar was
coined by the mints Of this country. The
gold bugs had complete control. Germany
had been converted to their cause, and Bis
marck had struck blow at France that came
back like boomerang on Germany again,
and financial distress prevailed all over Eu
rope. Following the demonstration of sill
yer in the United States in 1873 came the
great panic Of that year, which brought
wild espread ruin. Not again until 1879 did
prosperity begin to dawn upon the country.
In 1873 we again began the coinage Of silver
under the Bland bill, which compelled the
Government to coin 2,ooo, 900 Of dollars per
month. and permitted any above that up to
1000, 900 per month. But strange as it
may appear every Secretary Of the Treasury,
from 1873 to the present hour, has refused to
coin over 2,ooo, 900 per month-and every
President, whether Democrat or Republican,
has held the minis to limited coinage With
that, however, we have kept even with the
contraction Of the National Bank notes, and
have added few millions to our circulating
medium, merely enough to have kept a great
financial panic off Of the commercial world.
But as the nation has grown as population has
increased, the money volume Of the country
has grown smaller and smaller per capita
until now business is in measure paralyzed
for want Of money, and we are going on into
panic in I8oI-unless silver is remonetized
and the minis thrown open again to free and
unlimited coinage.
Our mines are fairly productive, at least
they are producing enough Of the precious
merals to give us prosperity, if Congress will
only allow our gold and silver to be coined
as fast as it is mined and put in circulation as
money. The people at large are studying
this silver question now intelligently. They
have discovered that something is wrong with
our finances, for they know they are not pros.
pering as they should. They find by this
limited coinage and demonstration OF silver
that our farmers and our cotton growers are
being robbed to the tune Of at least $780,.
600, 900 year. They propose to stand it
no longer, but to demand Of Congress more
money, and that the money shall be in gold
and silver as it is mined. They are getting
determined that silver bullion shall not be
shipped out Of the country for the benefit Of
other nations, and hence it is that they will
assemble in a great national silver conven.
ton in St. Louis on November 10th to study
this question more closely and to take such
action as will compel Congress to do justly.
The goldbugs have nearly ruined this coun.
try, and would have succeeded but for silver.
Hence it is the people are determined that
silver shall triumph, and with it will come
joy and rejoicing to the entire nation.
