A bill was introduced in bbth
House and Senate on June IA, 1864,
and passed the same day. receiving
the signature Of the President soon
after, which made it a crime to specu-
late in gold. Many believed that gold
gambling WINS irjuring the people
and the credit OF the nation, and at
the same time prolonging the war, all
OF which was doubtless true. This
Act took Immediate effect. On July
1854, just seventeen days aiterward,
another bill was introduced and
passed both houses OF Congress re-
p~ealing the one forbidding speculative
transactions in gold. Comment seems

The Carson Appeal states that the
Mint engine now has a beautiful coat
OF parafine. Never before IN the his.
tory of the Mint has it been 50 treated.
The presses have sometimes been laid
off for a couple OF years and painted
with paraine to preserve them from
rust. but the engine has not been idle
long enough for that. 1t is a sad
sight to Mint men to see the engine in
this fix, but the order has gone forth
and it means the big engine will cease
its revolutions.
1T may be for years and it may be
forever but it will be after the next
Presidential election anyhow. This is
because the Mint has been looted by
thieves. and the Government has been
given nn excuse TO close it down.
Paraiine on the engine means more to
the Mint employee than anything else

lected. No one could tell the home
seeker where he could find land upon

The result Of this has been that the
tide OF immigration passed us by: our
population has decreased for want of
capital to develop our and

We must stop specializing, or, rather, gambling
upon what wealth a hole in the ground may con-
tain. and, instead thereof. manufacture and pro-
mand. We should produce our own flour, our
own butter, our own eggs, our own hams and
bacon, and all other things that we consume.
Bring the proper pressure to bear and not only
both the East and the West with the surplus We
are SO well able to produce.
There are thousands Of acres OF land lying idle
which await but the advent OF the frugal settler
to be turned into veritable Gardens of Eden.
Remember that the best lands OF Elko county
have been lying neglected for years; that the
poorest ands We have are our meadow lands.
Remember that the richest-the most fertile land
in the world-lies hidden beneath the homely
sagebrush.
Remember that Il forty.acre sagebrush ranch
once brought under the beneticent influence OF
water. will produce more aud better crops than
two hundred acres OF your best meadow land.
Remember that for our further development and
progress we must have population. Immigration
must and will solve this problem.
Thrifty immigrants, who will settle upon these
forty acre ranches and produce grain, alfalfa and
other products OF our soil, are but awaiting the
tidings of where this new FL Dorado OF the West
is located. We say Ell Dorado, for, remember,
that to the thousands Of Industrious working men
and farmers of the East, who are now either out
Of employment, OF who arc seeking farms not
subject to tickle and often failing rains "A place
to call home, Il place where they cnn raise all they
want to eat, where starvation does not stare their
families in the face, to them such a place is truly
an Ell Dorado.
Irrigation, once considered the drawback, is
slowly, but surely, becoming the blessing OF Ne.
vada. Even now the people OF the East are be-
ginning to realize what it means. Certainty OF
water when needed. certainty OF bounteous crops.

both our moral and actual support and to insist
upon and, if possible, to obtain good and honest

II we can count ON the active support OF all
good citizens in Elko county. we believe that our
