marks on the silver Question.


PARADISE VALLEY, June 26, 1890.
Ed. SILVER STATE: Our snow-capped
mountains still bear testimony of the
deep snow that fell last Winter and the
fearful loss of all kinds of stock which has
materially diminished the amount Of per-
sonal property on the Assessors list since
last year. While the grass on the sur
rounding ranges is not as plentiful as was
to be expected on account of the large
number of sheep that are constantly |
wearing out the ranges, yet what stock
there is left will all be in good condition
for the Winter.
THE HAY CROP
Will nearly double that Of any season
since the FIRST settling of the valley both |
in quality and quantity, SO that this will
be good year for the San francisco |
butchers to drive their cattle here to |
fatten for the Winters use, as it Is &C
knowledged by all who have ever fed |
cattle here that the Paradise Valley red
tip is the most nutritious, and has the best
fattening quality Of any hay on the coz
tlnent and is equal to corn In the West
ern States. 1t is estimated that fifteen
thousand tons Of red top will be cut in the
valley this year, besides the alfalfa crop,
srhs oh mil he han
ever before, so that feeders can have
their choice Of hay at prices to suit the
market. Although the hay season has
not fairly commenced yet, the demand
for men is 10 excess Of the supply and one
hundred good men can find steady en-
ployment at good wages until the first
of next November.
THE GRAIN CROP
Will be up to il not better than the aver
age. Some grain fields that were not
plowed last Spring, which looked rather
short and thin three weeks ago, are fast
filling out so that the worst pieces OF
grain in the valley will make over an
average crop, while some fields are
guessed at from fifty to sixty bushels to
the acre. There will he no scarcity of
supplies here this Fall and Winter and
the large teams Of the stock growers both
north and west can resume their usual
avocation OF hauling their Winter sup
plies from our fertile valley. Tuscarors
and surrounding camps will not be COM
PEELED to send to California for their
-four and or, q this Fall, as both of our
Touring mills are being remodeled so as
to turn out the very best brands OF -four
THE SILVER QUESTION.
The bill for the free coinage of silver,
though passed by the Senate of the
United States, has been defeated in the
House OF Representatives by those who
are under the lash of Harrison, Window,
Reed & Co. 1t has been the fight of 8
forlorn hope of the best men OF both
parties and it will be no surprise to the
people should they fail to accomplish
their object. The money gamblers,
plutocrats, usurers and dishonest poli.
clans of the country, Wall Street in par.
ticuIsr, are apparently banded together
for the special purpose of obstructing the
passage of the bill remonetizing silver,
aud to all appearances the fight is yet far
from being over. When men like Allison,
Edmunds, Sherman and Evarts, who
were all candidates for the nomination
for President on the Republican ticket,
can explain their course on the silver
question and their final vote upon the
bill, it will be an easy matter for our
weakened Representative, ''Me Too"
Bartine, to give an excuse for his vote on
the bill in caucus.
WHAT A FRIEND IN WASHINGTON wR TIES.
We are in receipt of letter from
friend in Washington, who claims to
know a thing or two and who has been
watching the actions of some of the pro-
fessed silver men. Here are his exact
words:
