autro Tunnel Extension.

Chas. Fish and Ex-Governor
Blaisdell are on the Comstock to
look over the proposition to extend
the Comstock tunnel and drain the
American Flat country.
Among Mr.. Blaisdell's many
other mining interests in this State
he owns a large interest in the Pa
cific Mining Company, of which Mr..
Chas. Fish is President. The Pa
ciic Mining Company owns 1900
feet of virgin ground adjoining the
Rock Island on the south and other
property in the American Flat
country. The Pacific claim is vir-
gin ground, and with the exception
of drift which was run into it fifty
feet from the Rock Island claim is
unprospected. In the face of this
drift they had just struck ore as
saying $50 when the water drove
out the miners. The history of min
ing operations in American Flat are
familiar to all old time Comstockers,
who remember how the foods of
water rushing into the mines then
rendered operations impossible, al
though there were glittering pros
poets almost on every hand.
1t is to promote the proposition
of extending the Sntro tunnel by
the way of the Alta shaft to the
American Flat and again render it
impossible to reach the point in the
Pacific Mining Company's ground
where the $50 rock was abandoned
SO many years ago that has taken

The Tax List,

Our efficient Sheriff and ex-oficio
Assessor has compiled the tax list
of Lyon county and had the same
printed. Whether Mr.. Littell knows
that there is printing office in
Lyon county that is fitted up to do
job work of all kinds, or not, we are
not sure, but we do know that the
list was given this year to person
who has little junk-shop printing
office in Mason Valley and he had
to send the work out of the county
to have it done. This may be the
Sheriff's idea of patronizing home
industry, but he will have to do
considerable convincing talk to
make many people believe in his
way of thinking. Mr.. Littell evil
IDENTIFY thinks that the way to en-
courage an industry that is a tax
payer in Lyon county is to send the
county work that he has control of
to a Storey or Ormsby county con-
Germ, but there are many who do
not believe in such a narrow gauge
policy.

WARTIME JOURNALISM.
MANY WERE THE DIFFICULTIES
EXPERIENCED.
The Sheet Was Gotten Out According
to the Size of Paper to be
secured-An Amusing Strike

Atlanta had six morning dailies and
one afternoon paper when Sherman's
guns were booming on the banks of
the Chattahoochee, seven miles west
ward. The Intelligencer, Southern
Confederacy, Gate City Guardian,
Reveille, Appeal and Register were
all good papers, when the fact is con-
sidered that they were published in n
small inland city about to undergo
one of the fiercest sieges of the war.
The Commonwealth was bright af-
ternoon paper and the Appeal and
Register attracted a good deal of at
tentiOn because the former hailed
from Memphis and the latter from
Knoxville, Tenn.
They were all four-page sheets with
five or six columns to the page, when
they could get paper of the right size,
but it was a common thing to see
them issue half sheets of brown wrap
ping paper and sometimes they We're
printed on cheap wall paper. Their
telegraphic news service was very
limited and two columns of kilograms
in an issue always attracted atten-
ton. These kilograms were never
padded and the result of great battle
was often told in four or five printed
lines
In the local columns of these war
newspapers there was very little
news, but the editorial pages were al
ways well filled. Howell Cobb and
l.. Q. c. Lamar frequently wrote the
Registers editorials and Henry Wat
terson was for several months on the
staff of the Southern COnfederacy,
which achieved great success under
the management of Col. George w.
Adair, who afterward made reputa-
ton as a dashing officer in Forests
cavalry.
At that time Watterson was a slim
pale-faced young man and he was
anything but an enthusiastic worker.

men," it says, would refuse to buy,
because of the uncertainty Of being able
to sell again; factories would shut down
and wages stop, because merchants
would not dare order goods which nigh,
be worth less than they cost in few
months, laborers and mechanics, the
chief consumers Of food and clothes,
without money TO buy, would cause the
demand for these articles, the raw ma
terials for which the farmers supply, to
dwindle almost to nothing. Surely, with
business at standstill, factories closed
and operatives out of work, the prospect
for the tller of the soil would not be q

continued Ito issue a little sheet con-
tanning a column summary of the
news until the day before the city
fell.
Before the bombardment commenc-
ed, the Atlanta papers ridiculed the
idea of a siege and predicted that
Sherman would never cross the Chat
tahoochee. When the Federals crossed
the river the Confederate editors de-
clared that, they were rushing into a
trap set for their destruction. Then
came the siege and with it more edi-
torial predictions to the effect that
the city could never be taken. Even
when the exhausted Confederates
marched out, it was claimed by the
editors that the invaders would find
the place a second Moscow and would
soon be forced into a disastrous re-
treat They were jubilantly making
these predictions when Sherman laid
the town in ashes and started to the
sea.

WHO WOULD GET The BENEFIT,
The Real Gamers by Free Silver Would
BE the Mine Owners.

The Real Gainers by Free Silver Would
BE the Mine Owners.
If l6 to free coinage measure were
to become law next year, who would it
benefit the most? Certainly not the
farmers and workingmen, who would
find that, though it might increase the
number of dollars they received in re
turn for their labor or their products,
these dollars would be worth but half as
much as those now in use. Neither
would the manufacturers and business
men be benefited by a law which would
make goods of all kinds far dearer, and
therefore lessen the demand for them
and check productive industry and
trade.
The real beneficiaries of free silver
would be the owners Of silver mines,
who would get a higher price for their
products, and the debtors, who would
be enabled to pay off their obligations
in 90 cent dollars. Among those debtors
would be some farmers, but by far the
greater part Of the debts Of the country
is owed by large firms, corporations,
banks, insurance companies, and sim
liar organizations
Thus the farmer, who has many years
been paying premiums on $1,000 fire
insurance ON his house and barns, would
under free coinage receive, in case of
loss by fire, only the equivalent Of $500
in our present currency. The working
man, who has been paying for $1,000
life insurance, would find that the adop-
ton of the silver standard had cut in
two the provision he had been making
for his wife and family.
The millions of farmers and workers
who have little money in the bank
would be compelled, if the banks
wished, to take dollars worth half
of those they had deposited. The
great corporations which have borrowed
large amounts from thousands of small
investors, or from banks representing
thousands of depositors, would have
half of their debts wiped out.
These results would doubtless be
good thing for the big insurance COM
panies, railway corporations, banks,
Wall street spectators, etc. But is that
any reason why the masses should favor
the 30 cent dollar policy?
