A Gloomy Outlook.


The San Francisco Daily Report'
cogitating upon the present condl-
ton of the Comstock, thus gloomily
portrays Its future prospects; "At
the present time there is not a mine
on the lode which is earning enough
to pay expenses, aud all save one
the Con. Californla and Virginia-are
regular assessment propositions. Even
the Con. California and Virginia mine
is steadily depicting the surplus in
it's treasury. A few months ago
there was a surplus of sl5o,Oo0. Al
ter paying all bills for September the
company had $4,000 on hand. After
paying the October bills the company
went into the present month of No
vember with only $4,000 on hand
The loss over and above the bulllor
product of October was therefore S2l,
600. Unless some new ana Valuable
discovery of ore can be made 1t i
likely that an assessment will b.
necessary during the early part o
next year"

There is a way Of being abso-
lutely sure that the shoes you buy
are worth at least as much as YOU
pay for them. You may not be
able to tell good leather from bad;
you may not know the difference
between a high grade shoe and
an article of rougher make, and
yet it is your own fault if yoh are
imposed upon. You cannot be
expected to detect those diff
ferences in material which make
such a material difference, but
you can at least take the pre-
caution of making your purchases
where misrepresentation are
never for a moment tolerated.

PETITIONS.
A petition was presented by a number
of south side residents asking the city
council to revoke the license of George
Messick, who runs a saloon on the corner
Of Warren aveuu and Eleventh street.
The petition alleges that the saloon is a
nuisance, and ended by showerinV bles.
sing on the head of the council and mayor.
The petition of f. L Joslin for per
nissIOn to build a corrugated iron house
on the northwest corner OF Eighteenth
aud Themes street was granted.
OPERA HOUSE TAXEs.
Messrs. Merrill aud Robins of the
finance committee presented a majority
report favoriug the rebate of the taxes on
the opera house for the year 1890, and
the emitting of the property from the
assessment roll for the year 1891. Mr..
Richardson presented a minority report in
which he took a strong stand against the
proposition. He thought the property
should pay taxes. as it was a private cor
poration and was built and run for specu-
lative purposes. The property was owned
by Messrs. Warren and Riner, who have
purchased a large majority of the shares
of the ompanY at a low figure and now
ask the public at large to come forward
and help them put on their speculation.
If the taxes on the opera house are 10 be
RENTED because the property don't pay,
the taxes on the majority OF public bust
ness enterprises should be RENTED, as
very few are paying at present.
Mr.. Harrington also scored the project
and was not in favor of letting the public
pay the loss on the speculation. as they
help support the concern BY paying a big
dollar every time they go to a show.
Every corporation in the city has been
before the board OF equalization begging
for lower taxes and if the corporations are
to be exempt, the poor man with his
home will have to furnish the money to
run the city. If you rebate the taxes on
the corporations. wipe out the whole
assessment roll, as the house owner has
no right to be asked to pay the whole Of
the city expenses.
The vote on the question stood G to ..
Ayes-Bond, Merrill, jerks, Hellman,
Bristol, Ross. Noes-Richardson and
Harrington.
The mayor notified the council that he
would not sign a warrant for the rebate of
the taxes until he was shown a law which
compelled han as mayor TO do so.
Messrs Bond md Ross sprang up to
state that their vote IN the question was
in the interest of a place of pubic
amusement.

SAN JOSE, May 10.-The weather was
fine, and 5000 people were at the ball
grounds. The first game was called at 10
O'Clock, and was pretty contest. Hus-
tin pitched for Sacramento, and the home
team could not hit him. The visitors
won by punching their hits, and doubles,
triples and singles coming in succession.
Hanley's one-hand stop of a hard line
ball from Hoffman was the feature. Dave
Levy caught well for Sacramento.
The second game was called at o'clock,
and was won by San Jose by good bat
ting and the extended error column of
the steers" who played listless game.
France pitched four innings and re-
tired, Hoffman taking his place He
gave out toward the end of the contest
and threw a straight ball. and was
pounded numerically. Dooley hit to the
