THE San Francisco Examiner for the last
week has been publishing some very interest
ing reading about how the mine-owners and
mill-men of the Comstock have been plumb
ering the mines and robbing the stock-hold-
ers. M. W. Fox, an owner of considerable
amount Of Hale and Norcross stock, is the
man who has made the charges that the Com
pany has been systematically robbing the
stockholders for the past three years. He
claims to have proof for his assertions and
will bring suit to recover damages. He even
goes so far as to charge that the sring" con-
sists Of some Mint officials, and that bullion
has been taken to the Mint at midnight and
deposited. There are great many people
in this State who will believe the charges
are true, and it is hoped that thorough in
vestigation Of the matter will be had. II
such highway robbery is going on. as is
claimed, the people want to know it. The
men charged with the thievery are supposed
to be above any such business, and they, too
should wish for an investigation if the charges
are false. 1t is strange that this matter has
been left for San Francisco journal to place
before the public.

THE FUTURE OF NEVADA.

In speaking of the condition OF the State
lowing language the other day: "Nevada is
not fit TO be State in this Union now, and,
what is worse, it probably never Will be.
The only remedy for this unfortunate state
of affairs is either in annexlng it TO some
other State, or increasing its area by Undue
ing some western territory to unite with it. !"
This is wrong for several reasons.
But what we most seriously object to in the
above quotation is the declaration that Ne
vada will probably never be fit to he State.
1t is true that Nevada is now in depressed
condition. 1t has relied chiefly upon min
ing, and for ten years the mines of Nevada
have not been producing avery large amount
OF mineral. There is prospect of an early
improvement in this particular in consequence
of the passage Of new silver bill. But
hope of Nevada is in its farms. There are
thousands of acres of land in Nevada which,
If irrigated, could be made very productive,
and, fortunately, this land can be irrigated.
When all the water which falls on the New
ada slope Of the Sierra Nevada mountains
shall have been utilized, enough of it will
have been employed in irrigation to reclaim
a vast agricultural area in Nevada. This
area will be large enough to support popu-
lation Of 100, 900 or more, directly and in
directly dependent upon agriculture. In
short, the future OF Nevada, instead OF being
dark, is bright. 1t may not enter upon the
era of prosperity which we predict for it be-
fore the close Of this century, but we believe
that it will. We believe that before the
next census is taken Nevada will have added
greatly to its population through an increase
IN the number of people engaged in agricul-
fure.-Denv<y Republican.

II Gill not be surprising If the President
calls an extra session of Congress to meet
Immediately after the November elections.
Such course is considered necessity by a
great many Republican Senators and Mem
bers, who foresee the trouble there will be
in passing the Election Bill, the AIportion-
ment Bill, and the regular appropriation
bills At the short session, and who recognize
the value Of the three weeks which an extra
session might make use Of before the time

population is but seventy-five persons, yet
which is noted for the length Of time its
inhabitants live and the stature they at

for the Baltimore Sun.
'Now, / am not what you would call q

seven years old, six feet tall, and weigh
two hundred pounds, yet cannot hold
candle to some of the chaps who live
there. The old people there are dying
off, though. Now, there was the Penn
family. Nary lived to be one hundred
and nine years old. Edward died at one
hundred and four. Lizzie was one hun
dred and three when she died, and Joseph
was 101. Joshua lived to be ninety-nine
years and ten months. Mary No. 2 was
ninety-eight, and another Mary was
eighty-nine. William Thompson was one
of the oldest men in the town. He died
at one hundred and thirteen years. The
Bell boys were triplets. They were Shad-
rach, Meshach, and Abednego. Every
one of them was over one hundred years
old, and the smallest of them was 6 feet
4 inches high. Both the Others were 6 feet
5. Then there were two men, one named
Davis and the other Thatcher, both of
whom were over one hundred. Isaac
Moore lived to be one hundred and two.
Mrs. Russell died at one hundred and
four. Mrs. Kirk was one hundred and
one. Billy Matthews and Will McCor-
mick were each one hundred and one
when they died. Billy Simpson was one
hundred; and Mahlon Chadlee is now
living at one hundred. Cornelius Sulh-
van was ninety-four. William Brown
was ninety-two when he left us, and Jim
my Whiteside is still living, hale and
hearty, at nincty-six. Now, there is q
raft of men over eighty years. There is
such raft of boys over seventy that it
isn't worth while to mention them.

Sullivan was 6 #. 5. He had two sons,
Will and George, who were #. A and 9

William Brown, and we had to nickname
them to distinguish them. There was
