After the Thieves.

In the Hosue Of Representatives last
Monday, Dockery of No., offered a
resolution reciting that it is alleged
that twelve Senators and fifteen Rep
r~esentatives, pending the passage OF
the Silver bill, were admitted to
partnership in various +" silver pools"
by which they realized 81, zoo, 900
profits on the advance OF the price OF
silver after the passage OF the act, and
directing the Committee on Coinage,
Weights and Measures to inquire into
all the facts and circumstances con-
nected with the telegraph purchase
and sale OF silver. The committee
shall have leave to send for papers and
persons and to report at any time. II the
investigation is not smothered, as it is
most likely TO be, some very interest
ing facts may be looked for. The
trouble about the case is that only
Republicans are implicated and the
Republicans have a majority of the
committee and the House. A fair
probing would give Nevada still wider
notoriety for rottenness.

Champion q

The high tariff organs in the East
still insist that the people swallowed
a whole lot OF lies in the late elections.
We don't know how it was on the
other side Of the Rockies, but it is
certainly true OF NeYadans. Bill
Stewart told the people of this State
that the commodity silver law was
better than free coinage, and that free
coinage was impracticable because the
coinage capacity of the four United
States MINIS was only two millions
per month. Judging from the cleo
ton result in the State a majority OF
the voters must have swallowed these
monstrous lies, which an ordinary
liar would have been ashamed to have
told to a band OF Shoshones or Piutes.

The Mine.

At latest accounts the Diamond
tunnel was in 1850 feet. 1t will be
driven to the 1500-foot station before
explorations are begun for ore bodies.
The tunnel is waltzing right along at
the rate OF more than 100 feet per week.
We doubt il this record was ever
beaten in the history of the world.
But the Diamond has the most perfect
equipment throughout, as well as the
best crew of men, to be had in the
country. The great machinery, in
Guiding everything in and about the
tunnel, moves like clock work. Supt.
Read and his efficient foreman, Maui
rice Hartnett, know how to conduct a
great enterprise like this with the
least possible friction. The Diamond
management shows thorughness and
ability in every department. The
transformation of sagebrush and
desolation into q thriving, active
community at the head OF New York
Canyon in a single year, is n of the
marvels OF recent times in this section,
and the end is not yet, We hope.

Double the Amount.

A new statute Of the Nevada Legis-
lature is construed here to mean that
county officers must give bonds in
double the amount prescribed by the
County Commissioners. This con-
struction Of the law necessitates a
further rustic for bonds by the incom-
ing county officers. County Clerk
Harmon was the only one who had
qualified in the double figure. The
County Clerk is a pretty good lawyer
himself and is always posted on the
duties OF his office. The amended
bonds of the several officers are to be
furnished by next Thursday, to which
day the Grand Jury stands adjourned.

A Valuable Metal which 10 Rising
I'm the Markets.

1t is currently reported that the
electric lighting companies are prepar
ing to increase the cost of incandes.
cent lights. In each 16-candle power
lamp there are from four to eight
grains of platinum. If six grains are
taken as the average, one ounce will
be used in eighty lamps. Based on
the increased use of incandescent
lights within the last two years, il is
safe TO ssum that the demand for
l6-candle power lamps, or their
equivalent, in the year 1891 will be
100000 This means a demand for
125, 900 ounces Of platinum, which, at
the present price, S17 per ounce, will
amount to 81, 125, 900. The probable
income from these lamps at the pres
ent rate OF toll will amount 10 about
$1,000 900, while the cost OF one item
OF their composition alone is one third
Of the total income.
We find the above in one of u
Scientific Mining exchanges. Plat
mum is going up all the time and a
fortune is in store for the man who
finds a mine OF it in this country or
can invent a substitute for it in the
making Of incandescent lamps. The
chief supply now comes from Mexico
and Brazil. Zell's dictionary de-
scribes the metal as occurring in small
hattened grains, alleged more or less,
with palladium, rhodium, osmium,
ruthenium and iridium" II any Ne
vada miner shall be able to know
when he strikes it from this descrip-
ton we will be glad Of it. Several geo
and metallurgists have assert
ed that there are strong indications OF
its existence in this State, and lately
We have heard il stated that there is
every probability Of a great mine of it in
Eureka county. Such a deposit would
be more valuable than a mine OF gold.
But to get the metal from its crude
into the refined state is a complicated
though not necessarily too expensive
a process. II is done by leeching with
the addition OF certain chemicals, OF
which sal-ammonia is an important
The pure metal is susceptible
Of a high lustre and possesses con
siderable hardness. 1t is the most
ductile of all metals and is nearly as

does not oxidize in air in any
country, and no single acid will pro-
luce any effect on it. 1t is, in short, a
rare and valuable metal. Nevada

Der OF the Peoples Advocate, just

editor. 1t is a five column weekly Of
about the size of the Winnemucca
Silver State. 1t is to be independent
in politics, approving right, and con
deming wrong in whatever party or in
dividual. Lander county is all torn
up about taxes and litigation with the
Central Pacific railroad. The new pa
per is in some sense the outgrowth,
we take it, of these disputes. Austin
can hardly be an inviting field for q

surprised if sufficient patronage is Of
fered to maintain both the Reveille
and the Advocte. But the best and
truest to the cause OF the people will
deserve to succeed and live. 1t will
be a case of the survival of the
fttest. Time alone a determine
which of the two shall merit
this distinction. Personally We
have a very high regard for Mr..
Jones, the editor Of the new paper,
who is one Of the pushing and grow
ing young men of Eastern Nevada.

Eureka Couuty,s rax.RoiI.

The total valuation Of the property
both real and personal in Eureka
county for the current year was 81
1877, ia 50, on which was collected
taxes for State and county purposes
the sum OF $6S ,420 %. The total
valuation last year was $2,303, 662 and
the total tax collected S7l $50 so. We
thus have a decline in valuation this
year from last of sos, 1897 so and a
falling off in the amount of taxes of 49,
260 "a. Last year only SAP went
delinquent as against 1920 this year.
These figures. il the county's business
has been faithfully attended to, would
seem to indicate a less favorable con
dition now than prevailed here last
year, which does not 80 appear on the
surface.

The Farmers In this Campaign.

From an editorial of the Richmond Dis.
patch with the above heading, we copy the
conclusion as follows:-
''In the approaching election it is evident
we are going to have forced upon us an is-
sue Of political life and death. If we win
our internal affairs can hereafter receive all
the attention they need. If We lose Vir.
ginia will be at the mercy of our bitterest
foes.
So cruel. unjust, and sectional are the
tariff and election bills that are now pend.
ing in Congress many northern Republicans
have felt constrained to cry out 'fshame.'
In one of these propositions there is plan
to shackle our industries; in the other a
scheme to bind us forever to the wheel of
the Radical Republican car.
Doubtless we shall have to make a des-
perate fight for our freedom, and there is
but one way to win-that is by perfect har-
mony in our ranks and resoute purpose
on the part of each Democrat to labor to
secure the support of all the whites in the
Commonwealth. Thousands who have long
been estranged from us can be successfully
appealed to give helping hand in con.
test where the uppermost thought Of the
Radical majority is to ''put down the old
rebels"
If the force bill becomes a law, we expect
to see in Virginia the sublime spectacle of
all her true and loving banding together
heart and hand, unmindful of past differ.
ences, to resist the wrong and to preserve
eur constitutionalrights.
In such struggle the farmers will have
a great work to do. We know they will do
it we'll. They are slow to anger, not hasty
in action, temperate and conservative in all
things, but when burning under deep
sense of wrong. are as swift and irresistible
as the whirlwind."
