the TIMES tegan to complain about the de-
lays Of postal matter.
Theodore Sutro and wife paid Sutro 4

"A. c. Taylor, Of Silver City, returned
from Mount Cory last Sunday, where he had
been to superintend the dismantling Of the
Cory mill. which property was purchased a
few weeks ago by Alex. McCone, of Virgin

"A crew Of men under road master Nc.

road near Clifton. The high water is getting
pretty close to the track down that way and
the work is being done to prevent the track
from sliding into the river. The crew comes

There will be q meeting Of the Direc-

been graded and scraped. and it is now nee
essary to have sprink ling cart to wet it

Lyon county has selected five represen-
tatives to attend the Silver Convention in

some ringing resolutions will be passed and
forwarded to Congress. Free coinage is
what we want, and the people Of Nevada
should tell Mr.. Harrison 80 in such plain
language that he cannot misunderstand it.
1t is our opinion that Mr.. Harrison has al.
ready knocked himself out Of the ring pc.
litically on this coast, but If he has not, the
Silver State should inform him that her peo
pie will knock him il he persists in carrying
oat his views on silver.
English hnanciers had influence enough
to induce the nations Of western Europe and
the United States to suspend the coinage o.
silver which by decreasing the demand fol
silver. reduced its selling price. Having Sc
cured this depreciation of silver England
became an extensive purchaser Of silver bull
lion. 1t is now reported that the bank o.
England will begin the issue Of certificate,
against this silver. A shrewd game. In.
duce stupid Legislators to suspend coinage
and depreciate the bullion value OF the metal
and buy up large quantity at the reduced
prices, and then restore it to its former place
and by that means restore its value. 1t i,
hard to believe that American legislators
could be caught in such trap without a
liberal share in the profit.
