will be of interest to our miners:

per tom.
For lead in ores, 25c to SOC per unit,

No More Trout,

Trsut are becoming scarce in Walker
Lake. For time it was believed that
the young perch or bass were killing
the trout, as in attempting to swallow
them the bony little fish wauld stick
in the trsut's throat and choke them.
Ii is now believed, however, that the
dams along the river in Mason Valley
are the Cause OF the decrease of trout.
Nearly every farmer in the valley has
a dam to divert the river water for ir-
rigation purposes, and it is impossible
Tor the trout to 60 up the river to
spawn. Tie attention Of the Fish
Gem missioner is directed to this dam
business. On the Truckee river the
damers are obliged To construct fish
ladders SO that the fab can pass on up
the river, and the Mason Valley ranch
srs should be obliged to do likewise.
Recently the Agent at the Reserva-
ton had several boats built, SO that the
Indians could go cut into the lake
fishing. After two weeks hard werk
the Indians succeeded in catching two
ancient trout. 1t is matter of regret
that the lake should be robbed of
trout, and we hope tho Com missioner
will 60 for the valley srangers.

alton, and weighing them carefully it
must be conceded by any fair minded
man that the reduction to So under the
circumstances is but fair and right SO
long as silver continues low and the
scale of wages which was offered by
the companies is such that in case af a
material advance in silver, wages will
go to So 80 again, and in case silver
goes to par the wages will be 81, and
ii will be paid chesrlully.
The figures and statements Goa
tanned in this article are submitted for
the careful consideration of all the
people in this county who are in any
wise interested in this matter, and
particularly do We invite the attention
OF the miners to them, believing that
they are reasonable men and open to
conviction when they see that their
own welfare and that of every industry
in the county will be advanced by a
calm and sober digestion OF our
figures, which are compiled frem
sworn statements.
Walker Lake bulletin. (Hawthorne, Nev.) 1883-1926, 1892-01-20

These figures show that there has
been a considerable falling aft in the
value of the ere, and that while seine
reductions have been made in the cost
Of milling there has been an increase
IN the cost Of mining. 1t will be
borne in mind that as here mentioned,
the cost of mining includes the cost of
prospecting, but no one knows better
than the miners themselves, that unless
the prospecting is kept up and pushed
ahead to discover new bodies and
streaks of ore, it would take but a
short time TO exhaust the ore now de-
veloped, and a consequent closing OF
the mines; hence it is but proper 10
include the cost OF prospecting in
making up the figures of ore extrac-
lsn. An examination of the figures
contained in the reports shows that
about 10 per cent. of the expenditures
Of these companies is for labor. And
a reduction in tho price of labor from
$3.50 TO So, would make difference
to each of these companies of about
$4,000 per year, which, if nothing
more was made, would be some return
on the capital invested IN the enter
prises. Capital is timid, and its in
vestment cannot be obtained in any
country or IN any enterprise where a
fair, reasonable return cannot be as
surcd, hence this action tends to bar
the investment of capital in any enter
prises connected with the Candelaria
mines. or other mines n this vicinity.
Third-Candelaria, being the lead
ing mining camp in the county, the
rate of wages paid there very naturally
governs the rate to be paid 10 all other
camps In the county. In most of the
other camps tho veins are small, and
while the ore is sometimes found very
rich, the quantity is limited, and with
the present low price of silver, they
cannot be operated at profit with
wages at $3.50 per day. As conse-
quence most all of them are closed
down; what few are in operation are
being worked uudsr leases, where the
owners take no chances
Taking all these facts into consider.

BODY Found.

The remains of Manual Rivss, the
wsodpacker who disappeared on the
3Oh of December, were found last
Monday by Joe Estrada and others who
have been searching for him for the
past Two weeks. The body was found
absut Two miles and half southwest
Of town, The flesh had been entirely
eaten away from the face and wrists by
ground rats, and the body presented a
horrible spectacle.
The unfortunate man left town on
the morning of tn 30th, intending TO
so to his camp in Cory Canyon. 1t
will be remembered that the 30th was
a cold and stormy day. Rivas evil
IDENTIFY took a trail leading across the
hills 10 his camp, and lost his way in
the binding snow. When be left town
he bad pair of new boots in his
hands and bottle Of whisky. After
wandering around in the storm his feet
became very cold and he took off his
old boots and wrapped barley sacks
around his feet. The two pairs of
boots and the bottle more than half
full of whisky were found nearly a
quarter Of mile east of the body. and
indicate that he was trying to reach
town when overcome by cold. He
had taken off his coat and drawn it
up over his breast and face. His
hands were clasped as though in pray
er when found, the body lying on the
right side in the snow. Five dollars
in gold was found in his pockets. The
Coroner's jury visited the scene on
Monday, and in the evening an inquest
was held, which revealed substantially
the facts above related The Jury re-
turned verdict that. Manual Rivas,
a nstive of Chile, aged about 80 years,
came 10 his death on or about the 30th
day of December, 1891, from exposure
during a violent snow storm.

1t Went the Wrong Way.

An object lesson often is the most
effective way TO impress truth upon
an audience. Orlando E. Jones, who
is lecturing temperance, recently start
ed upon a little missionary tour
through the wilds of Nevada, and had
peculiar experience the other night
at Pizen Switch while demonstrating
the terrible effects of alcohol upon the
human system. He had a magic Ian
tern which threw upon screen drop

| times that the amimalculp in il were
plainly seen, swimming about, wrig-
Cling, twisting, fighting and swarm

ing that these monsters could be found
in any drop of ordinary drinking
water Orlando proceeded.
"But now | want to show you, nv
hearers, the deadly effects of alcohol
upon animal life. | shall add to this
magnified drop of water drop of
common whisky, and you will observe
that it Immediately kills every living
thing it touches. Not one of these
little organisms which you now see
swimming about fnll of life will live

Here he added trace of whisky and
every animalcule kicked its last and
became candidate fer bural-as dead
as Caesar.
just at this juncture an old man in
the middle of the audience, who evil
IDENTIFY had taken a deep inl crest in the
experiment, arose for Information.
Say" he CALCULATED, do you mean
to say that all our drinkin' water is
chuck full of them there wigglln'
things?"
Eyes, SIR
And little whisky kills 'em-jest
nacherly knocks the everlastn' spots

As you have seen for yourself, sir,
alcohol acts as deadly poison and is
instantly destructive of animal life"
Then, by lingo, you'll never catch

The lecturer shipped his magic Ian
tern to Bodie the next morning and
his illustrations now are purely theo-
retical.

THE CANDELARIA SAuToowN
Some Facts and Figures for
General Consideration.

Considerable discussion has taken
place recently relative to the action of
the miners ia Candelaria in refusing
to accept tho scale of wages offered
by the companies, and forcing the
closing aown Of these properties. The
effect of this shut down is not COR
tiaed to Caadelaria, but extends to all
portions of the county, and affects NIL
Interests. the Holmes and Nj. Diabls
being the two prlRcipal mining prep
critics in operation in the county.
The general opinion is that the
miners have made II mistake in refus-
ing to accept the scale for variens rea-
sons, few of which We will enumer-
ate:
First--In 1889 wages were SO per
day, silver being very low. Ia 1890
on the first of Septernb Der, silver hav-
ing advanced, wages were advanced
to $3.50 per day, it being generally
understood that in case silver dropped
again wages would also be reduced 10
So. This understanding seems to be
repudialed, on the part of tAe miners,
by heir present action.
Secend-The sworn statement, on
hle IN the office of the County
Recorder show that tor the third
quarter of 1891 the Mt. Disblo
Company operated at loss. and that
the Holmes Company cleared for the
three months work the sum of $54 60
(fifly-four dollars and sixty cents.
The reports for the fourth quarter are
not yet filed, but the statement is made
that when fed will show loss.
The reports for the first, second and
third quarters Of 1891 show that the
Mt. Diablo Company cleared in the
nine months S13,35S.17. The com
pany had on hand on January I, 1891,
a surplus of 10000, and the dividends
that have been paid during 1891, were
paid from the surplus and the amount
cleared during the year. In the same
time the Homes Company cleared
IS 693 SO, and paid no dividends.
These figures show tina, the people
whose money 10 behind these indus
tries, with an investment Of probably
$500, 1000, are not receiving vary much
of return on the investment of tn cir
capital, which certainly operates to pre-
vent the investment Of outside capital

An examination of the annual re-
ports of the Mt Diablo Company
shows that in 1890 the costs were:

INCOME TAX.
This Question Is Ably Discussed
Before the Single Tax League.


A regular meeting of the Single Tax
league was held at the West hotel last
night. at which Ulysses Hertig read a
paper on Income Tax The speaker
advocated in the strongest terms a
graduated income tax. starting with the
point which he said was generally con-
ceded that civil government necessitates
tie collection and disbursement of pub.
lie funds. He held that taxes on
personal property were generally
evaded. the wealthy thereby gaining
great advantages over those of more
modest means. The rich. he c0ntended.
had enjoyed special privileges and
should therefore pay special taxes. This
tax, however. he would not have the
chief source of revenue. No system
could be absolutely perfect and it would
be absolutely impossible to ascertain
the exact amount of any mars income.
but he favored having penalties so great
as TO make it precarlOus for man to
falsify reports as to his income. He
read from the writings Of Henry George
several passages III support of his argu-
ments.
The other side of the question was
discussed by Maj. Bassett. who present
ed many torcible arguments. He pro-
claimed himself as in favor of those
property holders who enjoy the pro-
lection of the law paying fair share
toward the support and maintenance OF
the law. Mr.. Hertig's point that the
property in sight was the most gen.
orally ard most heavily assessed"
he turned to his own account by
insisting that as that was generally the
property of the wealthy 1t would be un-
just under the same argument 20 make
the wealthy pay an income tax on top of
that on the property in sight
1t was decided to take measures &c
