The Prayer OF an Idaho Editor.

Silver dropped to So cents per ounce
on the 28th ult. God bless the gold
bugs, the single standard men, the
honest dollar" thieves, and the devil
take the blind fools who have been
robbed and ruined and cannot compre-
bend that these sanctimonious, slick,
"honest dollar" wholesale robbers have
brought them to poverty, and have an
everlasting grip on their bodies and
souls. AS silver goes down SO goes
down everything else except gold,
which the money sharks demand in
payment Of public and private debts.
Let us all get down on our knees, clasp
our hands and ~reverently bow down TO
the great and grand Mogul-the single
standard, honest dollar, gold bug. Let
us continue to heap the shekels on his
pile, already mountain high, but never
earned. Let us pile it still higher. and
thank him for demonetizing silver, de-
creasing the currency, increasing the
value Of his pile and doubling the value
Of all debts, whether public or private.
Glory be to the gold bug, for he has
played his game successfully, and it
keeps on rolling wealth his way at a
rapidly increasing rate. What is to
become of the people-but in the po-
etc language of one Of The chief gold
bugs" the people be damned"

by appointing a youth TO the position.
He could make the appointment arbi-
trarily by naming q youth possessing

decided to give every young man op-
portunity to compete for the position
and has named three citizens Of Reno,
Messrs. Bergstein, Powning and Nor

years Of age, and not less than 5 feet 8
inches in height, physically perfect and

from his place Of residence to the acad-
envy are paid by the government. He

cellent opportunity for an ambitious

The New Railroad,

The Denver people are jubilant over
the bright outlook Of the proposed new
railroad from that city, by way Of Salt
Lake, to San Francisco. They do not
doubt the success OF the enterprise
and they are confident that grading
will soon be commenced. The News
has the following on the subject:
"The Denver, Salt Lake and San
Francisco railroad, now incorporated
and capitalized, is the most important
railway project, in its possible results,
connected with the history Of Denver.
1t is the one thing neededto place this
city on the most direct and natural
transcontinental highway, and will
open a great expanse Of ~undeveloped,
because hitherto inaccessible, territory
that is known to be rich in resources.
The character of the men who have
taken hold of that enterprise iustifes
the assurance that details of the route
will soon be settled and that grading
and tracklaying from both terminals
and central point will be commenced
in the near future"

An attempt was made to set fire to
a Chinese wash house at Reno last
Wednesday night, and this circum-
stance, taken in connection with the
numerous fires that have occurred at
Reno Of late leads the Journal to think
that a determined effort is being made
to burn the town. Recent efforts have
demonstrated the fact that the big fire
on Sierra street a few weeks ago was
the work Of an incendiary. AS that
fire originated at or near a China wash
house the conclusion at once arrived at
was that it was the result Of careless
ness on the part Of the Chinese, but
when a few weeks later an unmistak-
able incendiary effort was made to fire
another wash house on the west side
OF Virginia street, and a few days later
another attempt ismade to fire a wash
house on the opposite side Of the same
street, the conclusion is irresistible
that the fires from first to last was the
work Of the same party or gang.

BaId Mountain Gold Mines.

Assessor j. q. Powell, accompanied
by DIR. j. X. N. Owen, returned last
Monday from a trip over TO Bald Noun
tain, in White Pine county, where they
visited some Of the gold mines in that
locality. Among others they mention
the Lone Star mine, owned by Clay
Simms and Luther Clake Of this place,
and say that the ore vein lies between
porphyry and granite walls and is four
feet wide and the ore will average at
least 500 per ton.
DIR. Owen Of this place also has a
very promising gold mine some four
miles from the Lone Star mine.
There are a large number OF placer
mixes about Bald Mountain, but on
account Of the scarcity OF water they
can only be worked about one month
the rainy season. Water can
be obtained the year round to supply q
20-stamp mill. Mr.. Powell thinks
Bald Mountain will come to the front
in the near future.

Hard Times I'm Colorado.

The closing down OF the silver mines
and smelters and reduction of forces
in the coal mines. on the railways and
in the factories has put the laboring
classes in a deplorable condition. 1t
is estimated that there are 10000 idle
men in Denver and 10000 in the out
side towns, half OF whom are coming
here to become a public charge. To
avoid this the commercial bodies will
ask the railroads to make a five-dollar
rate to the Missouri river for this class,
in the expectation that they will be
able to get work on farms. 1t is esti-
mated that Colorado, Utah, Montana
and New Mexico have countermanded
orders for goods in New York to the
amount of we twelve million dollars.

Killed I'm the Mine.

Frank Pippanna, a native Of Italy,
aged 81 years, was killed in the Hunt
ington (Cornell) mine, on the east side
of White Pine Mountain. July 18th, by
a rock weighing 800 pounds falling
upon him. He was dead when taken
out Of the mine. On reading the testi-
mony taken at the Coroner's inquest
held before Justice Bush, we find no
one was to blame for the horrible &C.
c~urrence, and that all necessary pre-
cautions in the way Of timbering had
been attended to. So it seems the &C.
cident is not attributable to any neg
lect on the part Of those in charge of
the mine. Such at least is the verdict
Of the Coroner's jury.

rhe Comssock Mines.

Regarding the Miners Union, q we'll
known Comstock superintendent said
to a Daily Report reporter: The boys
have talked this matter over for q long
time and thoroughly understand IL.
l believe the Union, realizing the stu
alton and seeing how all the other in
terests are giving way, will voluntarily
submit to a reduction in miners wages,
which are o "a per day, the same as
they we're in the palmiest days Of the
Comstock. There are now only 325
miners at work on the Comstock, and
those who have left it have found it
hard to get employment at 81 and q 50
per day. In the whole State Of Nevada
only $50 miners are now employed and
only 500 of those are drawing pay. If
expenses are reduced 1000 men will be
put to work in the Comstock mines at
So per day each, thus making good
profits for several Of the companies and
increasing the chances for striking new
bodies of ore."
