Reno's silver Meefiug.

At mass meeting of the People of
Washoe County, held in Reno July
18th, vigorous address was issued
to the people of the United States.
We have only room for the concluding
paragraphs:
Imagination fails to picture the dis
aster which will come from the over
throw of silver mining and the indus
tries allied to it. What the coal and
iron mines are to Pennsylvania, what
the manufacture of of textile fabrics
is to Massachusetts,, what the raising
of cotton means to the South, what
the raising of wheat means to the fer
tile valley of the Mississippi, silver
mining means to six States and three
Territories, constituting one-third of
the area of the Union.
We appeal to the people of the East
and South not to yield to the scare
which: has been created to designedly by
the gold trust with view to stamped
ing the friends of silver. We appeal
to them to insist upon legislation
which will free this nation from fnan
cial dependence upon England, which
will secure to it legislation creating a
financial system of it's own that will
bring in harmony with it the debtor
nations and the silver-using nations
and make the United States the money
center of the world.

Killed in the Mine.

Frank Pippanna, native of Italy,
aged 81 years, was killed in the Hunt
ington (Cornelrs) mine, on the east side
of While Pine Mountain, July 18th,
by rock weighing 800 pounds fall
ing upon him. He was dead when
taken out of the NINE On reading the
testimony taken at the Coroner's in
quest held before Justice Bush, we find
no one was to blame for the horrible
occurrence, and that all necessary pre-
cautions in the way of timbering had
been attended to. SO it seems the
accident 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.

Mark McKimmins, who lived in
Virginia City and Austin in the early
days, but who has resided in Utah for
the past twenty years, died in Salt
Lake City last Sunday.
The closing down of the mines here
was bad thing for the frieghters, but
the burning down of the Bullionville
Reduction works filled their cup of
woe to overhowing.
The infant child of VIM. Wheatley
died at Silver King yesterday and the
remains were brought to town this
morning. The funeral will take place
tomorrow at 10 o'clock.
Jack Wheatley was in town this
week from Silver King district. The
furnace in which he and his brothers
are interested is not completed, and
the condition of the silver market is
such that it is doubtful if anything
more will be done towards the erection
of the works this season.
The Union Pacific has suspended
its daily mail service between Juab
and Milford, on account of dull bust
ness. Hereafter the train between
those points will run tri-weekly. This
action of the railroad deprives Phoebe
of it's daily mail, which will now ar
rive Tuesdays, Thursdays and Satur-
days.
