which is now here, died somewhat sud.
denly, and after but a short illness. As
near as we get the facts in the case, it

hours. He had also been drinking. but
not to excess it is said. though he asked
for and was given hypodermic injec.
ton of morphine to steady his nerves.
He had used the drug in the same man
ner before, but not regularly. He COM
planned of feeling unwell on retiring
Sunday night and rested poorly. Heavy
breathing on his part attracted the atten.
ton of his companions during the night
and in the morning finding him unable to
speak they set out to carry him from tbs
barn at Rich's, where they were stopping,
to Rich's house, but before reaching tina,
point the man died. He was buried al

was case of suicide are denied by Leh

years and that he was always jolly ane

COUNTY OFFICERS, SALARIES.


A bill is before the Senate to increase
the salary of Lincoln County's Assessor
from Sl400 to $500 a year: This is the
only bill looking to an increase of any
officers salary here of which we have
heard. As general rule, opposition is
made to raising an officers salary at any
time, but when circumstances and the
service rendered abundantly justify it. it
should be promptly done. The Assessors
salary here was reduced from $4,000 q
year to $l400 in 1885, when business
with us was at its lowest ebb. Since
that time we have largely increased in
assessed values, and new legislation has
added materially to the Assessors work,
notably in the matter of the State Board
of Equalization and report to the Sur
veyor General of the State. The work
Of our present Assessor in both these and
in other respects has met with the high.
est praise. Our geographical situation
makes the travel necessary to properly
list the property of the county expensive
and serious inroad on the small salary
received.
While there is general provision by
our salary law looking to increase com

the fees which may be turned into the
County Treasury by an officer. quarterly

Assessors case this provision is inoperat

ouRFLOATlNG INDEBTEDNESS
Steps Takento Alter the Manner of
Its Payment.

The question of altering the manner Of
payment of our general indebtedness,
which has been talked Of several times Of
late, has taken definite shape, and dur
ing the first days of the week bill, to-
gether with an extensively signed petit.
ton favoring its immediate passage, was
forwarded to our representatives at Car.
son.
As the law stands at present all our
indebtedness outside of the bonded por.
tion, is payable out Of two funds, the
Redemption and the General Funds.
The bonded debt includes everything
issued up to April. 1873. From that
time to April 1875, general certificates Of
indebtedness are payable out of the Re-
demption Fund, under published notices
from the County Treasurer, on COMPETE
tive bids from scrip holders. During
the first years of this laws operation
considerable amount Of scrip was redeem
ed at less than par value. but Of late
years the unredeemed scrip of this class
appears to have centered in the hands Of
ono individual and no bid at less than
par value has been submitted for some
time. Some sl4, 600 of this scrip is still
unredsemed. though a large portion of
this sum is believed to be lost and the
scrip will never be presented for pay
ment.
| Certificates of Indebtedness. or scrip,
as it is more generally called, issued
since April, 1875, are payable at par, in
the order of issuance out of the General
Fund. This fund may properly be called
the general dumping ground Of county
revenues and has been drawn on very
largely in the past to maintain the credit
OF other funds, and comparatively
small amount of revenue has gone from i
for the redemption of scrip in the past
twelve or fourteen years, The create
part of scrip issued in 1878 remains un
paid, together with all which has beel
issued since that time.
/ The bill now submitted to our repre-
, sentatives for action provides for the re

demption Fund and that all unpaid scri

CONSEQUENCES OF THE Low
PRICE OF SILVER.

The miners of Tuscarora, New, and
those of Austin, Eureka, Candelaria'
Phoebe and even Virginia City, all in the
same State, are in bad way, says the
Mining and Scientific Press. A dozen
other smaller mining towns and camps
are also in distressed condition owing
to the shutting down of silver mines and
the discharge of men. In every one of
the camps the number of employed Ia
comparatively few, and in some instances
there is absolute distress. The men have
been holding on in hopes of better times
until their money is expended and they
can now get no work. Even if they can
get away, there is no place to 60 where
they can follow their vocation, as all the
silver camps on the coast have more men
now than they can employ. These Ne
vada silver miners are about in the same
predicament as were the miners in the
hydraulic mining regions of California
when the gravel claims were shut down
by process Of law They found their co.
cupation gone, and for some years there
was much distress. which to some extent
still continues. Not only miners, but
store keepers, artisans, and all the peo-
pie dependent upon mining operations,
feel the effect of hard times in such cases.
In some instances, cases of restitution
are reported. These people have not
brought this upon themselves by laziness
or improvidence, but the conditions have
resulted from the low price of silver and
the consequent loss in mining operations.
When the mines closed down and there
was no work for the men, all sorts o.
business In the camps languished and nc
money could be made by anyone.
