ECONOMY ON THE oomsToOK.
Proposed Reduction I'm General Ex-
penses.

Proposed Reduction IN OeneEal Ex-
penses.
The officers of the different mining
companies on the Comstock have
agreed to scale their salaries 20 per
cent. The railroad, wood and water
companies and the miners are expected
to make proportionate reductions as
the mines will close immediated I'M
less concessions are made.
The Report says at the annual meet
ing of the Savage Mining Company the
directors made heavy cut in the sal
aries of all officials. In some cases the
reduction amounted to 30 per cent.
The superintendent of the mine, who
had been receiving $500 per month was
cut down to 5000. The presidents
salary which had been $3.50 was fixed
at $125. The secretary had been re-
ceiving $3.50, and was reduced to $125
The clerk at the Virginia Office was
cut down from 5000 a month to 500.
These reductions were voluntarily
made in the interest of retrenchment
and to help along the movement for a
general reduction in expenses along
the Comstock, including transporta-
ton of wood, lumber, water and other
supplies and miners wages.
At the same meeting the following
directors were elected by the Savage
Mining Company: George r. Wells,
Charles H. Fish, Thomas Anderson,
w. S. Wood and Herman Zadig-the
last named in place of w. E. Miles,
one of the old directors. George r.
Wells was appointed president, Charles
HI. Fish vice president, E. B. Holmes
secretary and r. P. Heating, super
intendent.
There are millions of tons of low
grade ores on the Comstock, which at
reduced expenses can be worked at a
profit, as they contain a high percent
age of gold. Such ores abound in vast
quantities in the Consolidated Califor-
MIA and Virginia, Savage, Hale &
Norcross, Chollar, Potosi, Yellow
Jacket, Consolidated Imperial, Crown
Point, Belcher, Overman, and JUS
tice mines and are to be had in lesser
amounts in many of the other mines.
Regarding the miners union we'll
known Comstock superintendent said
to d. Z. reporter:
s'The boys have talked this matter
over for long time and thoroughly
understand it. | believe the union,
realizing the situation and seeing how
all the other interests are giving way,
will voluntarily submit to a reduction
in miners wages, which are now 81
per day, the same as they were in
the palmiest days of the Comstock.
There are now only 1926 miners at
work on the Comstock, and those who
have left it have found it hard to get
employment at So and So 80 per day.
In the whole State of Nevada only
$50 miners are now employed and
only 800 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 MAX
ing good profits for several of the
companies and increasing the chances
for striking new bodies of ore.

Homicide at Panaca.

Monday morning about 10 o'clock
in front of the Coop store, Panaca,
two men named James Matthews and
Nephi Orion engaged in quarrel,
drew their pistols and exchanged shots,
seven being fired in all. Matthews
was shot through the heart, while Or
ton escaped uninjured.
The facts of the case are about as
follows as brought out on the prelim-
mary examination:
It appears that Matthews had been
drinking during the morning and went
around the streets acting in bois-
ferrous manner. Meeting Orion, some
words passed between them in rela-
ton to horse owned by Orten. Later,
they met in front of the Coop store,
when Matthews made an insulting re-
mark to Orion. Both men instantly
drew their guns and commenced shoot
ing, Matthews firing four shots and
Orion three. Matthews shots failed
of their object, while two of Orton's
shots took effect, both striking Mat
thews in the right side and passing
through the body, one lodging in the
heart After firing the fourth shot,
Matthews started to cross the street,
but had proceeded only few feet
when he dropped dead.

bred Deserted Mining Camps.
From the Salt Lake Tribune we
take the following extracts from let
ter written by Frank Burk from the
Summit of Jeff Davis Peak to his
brother in Boston
DEAR BROTHER For two days [
have been climbing mountains and de-
scending gulches and am now on the
loftiest summit in Nevada, Is, 100
feet above sea level, in perpetual
snow.
Snow, ice and cold winds make it
very disagreeable, but the view is sub
lime. l will write description for
Globe or Post and you will see it in
cold print. This is my last trip and
last venture in Nevada.
The English Government, in order
to break down wages in America and
thus reduce independent American
workingmen to the level of the slaves
who toll in England, has caused the
Indian minis to be closed to the free
coinage of silver. This action on the
part of the old enemy, all-round thief
bully, England, gave the sharks on
Wall street, N. Y, chance to run
silver down to zero. The consequence
is that every mine and mining indus
try of the great West had to be closed
down, throwing hundreds of thou
sands of good and true men out of
employment. I write this on pocket
tablet from the summit of Jeff Davis,
where I can look down on fully one
hundred deserted mining camps, each
one capable of supporting thousands
of people were it not for the machin-
ations of England and her tools in this
country, and my heart is sore at the
prospect There was time when our
great Republic acted and forged ahead
as an independent nation, but now
there is springing up a fawning,
sycophantic aristocracy in the East
that would see the whole world starve
in order to be en- rapport with the
fading and played-out gentility of the
Old World.
The President has called an extra
session of Congress to convene on the
first Monday in August, but true to
his English and aristocratic proclivi-
ties, he does not desire to give to the
Congress that free sway that belongs
to that great governing body, but dis
tinctly states that his object in calling
the Congress together is the repeal of
the Sherman purchasing bill. The
repeal of this bill will take away from
the miners of the West their last
chance of living, but apprehend that
Grover will have hard time in sub
DUNG or bull-dosing the members
from the West or South into playing
into the hands of England.

You say you like the Examiner.
To be frank, do not. The Exam
liner lives on the money made by the
late Senator George Hearst out of the
mines and miners of the West, but
his son, dude of the modern type,
spends his time and his millions in
the East. Senator Hearst, during his
life, was a model of true Western
manhood and so far removed from
dudeism that his bluff and good
natuped, honest, manly, Western
ways, often called out adverse criti-
cism in the East. The elder Wander
bilt, nor the founder of the house of
Astor could ever be accused of dude
proclivities, but this is the era of
prominence of the degenerate sons of
rustline sires,
