DURING the year 1888, . total Of 280,.
500 tons Of ore was extracted from the
Coms,ock mines. yielding bullion valu-
ed at $50. SOC, 600. The total cost Of ex
tracing this ore and handling it until
the bullion was taken out was about
81. GAO 600. or at the rate of about Sl3 80
per ton. The Sutro Tunnel company
derived about $3.50. 900 in royalties on
the ore. The Virginia and Truckee
railroad received about $3.50, coo for
hauling portion of it to the mills on
the Carson river. The stamp mill own
ers derived nearly 50 .OOG. 900 for crush
ing tue ore. and it is safe to say that
about 81 ,00o. 900 of this was clear profit
and this prof, would have been much
larger had it not been for costly changes
and improvements which it was noces-
sary to make at some of tie mills. The
silver portion Of the bullion produced
was subject to heavy discount when
sold.

THE following from the Topeka
Cap Com. is calculated to produce the
shivers in a number of Office seekers
eager to turn the rascals out:
There are two things the republicans
of Kansas should remember; first, that
only one out of every ten who are seek
ing an office will be successful; and
second, that there are no vacancies,
and not liable to be for months. There
will be no general decapitation of dem
ocrats following the Inauguration of
General Harrison. In many Of the
best postoffices of the state there will
be no changes for months, or perhaps
for more than year. until the expira-
tion of the term of the present incum-
bents. Particularly is this true of
those democratic officials who are con-
Quoting the offices in a satisfactory
N amer.

THE remarkable thing concerning
this Samoan question, which is become
considerably vexed of late, is that,
while England and the United States
have tacitly exercised for years sort
of joint protectorate over these islands,
Germany, which enjoyed some COM
mercial privileges there, should be the
first to adopt an aggressive policy and
seek to bring them under her control.
OF the three powers one would natural
ly suppose, judging from the past, that
England would be the first to shove
herself to the front, and take whatever
advantages she could. But for a few
years back Germany has been doing
her share of marauding abroad, and
this Samoan question is but illustra-
tive of it.

CHAMBERS of Sheridan county intro
duced bill in the legislature Saturday
whose object seems to be to create
a sort Of trust in the business Of alb
stracting.
The bill provides that before any one
shall engage in the business of abstract
ing he shall file with the probate judge
of his county a bond in the sum OF S10,-
600, conditioned for the payment of any
and all damages which may accrue to
any person or persons on account OF
any error in the abstract furnished by
the said abstractor.
If we are not misinformed, this is a
scheme to limit the business to a few
able to make the bonds provided for
and consequently shut out a good many
who cannot. Whether this is wise or
just is questionable. There may be some
remedial legislation needed relating to
the business of abstracting, but we
heardly think the creation of trust is
in that line.
