EDITOR CARSON News I'm regard to

say, that the true reason Of my flag being
draped in mourning, was not because Of

The Reno Gazette OF the 9th inst.
gives the following as its opinion oil the
present Legislature
1T is . question whether the common
people want any more legislation or not
as this session. even though they get IL
from this time on for nothing. The
Eighteenth Session has not been marked
by the exhibition Of much statesman
ship on the part Of any member Of eiths r
House. Nearly the entire session has
been devoted TO small talk" on subjects
not calculated to benefit the people. The
sooner the Legislature completes its
lsbors and adjourns the better off We
will eli be. The statesmanship displayed
in the Lower House would make . man
ashamed Of his mother. and the Senate
10 not much better. When men too ignor.
snt to compose . ten-word sentence
dramatically are chosen to represent
the people. the people have NO kick il
nothing 10 accomplished. A glance ct
some Of the committees' reports will tell
the story better than we can"

Haul KILLS Profit.
A writer In the Phoebe Record com.
menting on Ely Mining District, White
Pine county, says: There is ss much ore
here &c there ever was, literally speaking.
and while taking this fact into considers.
ton, there is hope Of Phoebe becoming ss
f%iourishing one more a. il was In its
earlier days. All that is necessary lie 70
tell the truth and speak . good word for IL
and encourage the people 70 endeavor 70
bring IL back 70 . point Of recognition TO
the outside world. and then IL will speak
for itself. But the people have been led
10 believe that the ore in this district Is
Of such an inferior quality Is not 70 pay
for the expense Of mining. 10 is 9 great
mistake, but was brought 70 bear upon the
community from the fact that the value Of
the white metal had deprecated from
81 20 TO Csc per ounce from the once
flourishing days Of our district to the
present time. or 10 the time Of the great
depression In the silver market.
The charges Of hauling from the mines
TO the railroad have fallen . tribe lower
thsn 60 per cent Of what they wore ct the
time this district Was fiourishing. while
the charges on the railroad 70 the smelters
have been reduced to . tTifle less than one
half, and the smelling charges have fallen
or been reduced In . like proportion.
While another fact Of which should be
taken into consideration is that during
the earlier days OF the district when silver
Was worth double what il 10 now, the ex-
cess charges on iron sulphides were 20
cents 9 unit for each and every unit above
4 per cent or units. And at the present
time, instead Of having to pay 20 cents .
unit you are paid is cents . unit for the
same. And while taking these facts into
consideration, 10 10 not q fact that mining
in this district IL more profitable nov than
IL ever WASP The district abounds 10
mineral deposits. some Of which are
already opened mp. and only waiting for
some one with 9 little capital In order to
place them In . position to work on an
economic scale and be made paying mines.
while others are partially hidden, and
need but little time and capital TO bring
them into prominence and make paying

The Sacramento correspondent Of the
Los Angeles Herald in . communication
to his paper has the following to say Of
the enactment Of the prize fight law by
this State:
"a gentleman who stands very high
with the Southern Pacific Railroad tells
me that that road and the Western Union
Telegraph Company put up the money TO
pass the bill to allow prize fighting in Ne
vads. One hundred thousand dollars were
contributed. but the bill was passed more
easily han was at first believed possible,
and only $40. 900 was used. Nevada WAS
selected as the State for several reasons.
II has q small population, 10 remote from
Eastern influence, and has . small Legis-
lature, and then it Is isolated, only the
Western Union Telegraph Company has
any wires in the State. and only the
Southern Pacific Railroad has any tracks
within its limits. Therefore the Telegraph
Company has a monopoly Of the telegraph
business. and the Railroad Company Of
passenger business.
"What the telegraph business will
mount to may be guessed from the fact
that ten wires have been laid to Carson by
the company. and they expect to send
5000, 900 words the day before and the
day Of the fight. The Southern Pacific
Company will have all IL can do to carry
the passengers. 80 it is easy to see that it
was . good speculation by the two great
corporations"
