THE BEEF MARKET.

The price Of beef through Western
states has jumped up 100 per cent over
what it was last summer, making the
market higher than 1t has been for IL
years. Inquiry among cattlemen eiieits
the information that the Reno market
is nearly exhausted, the small number
left being tied up IN contract. In Hum
boldt county the number marketable
during the next two months IS compar-
atively small.
Reports from California state that
there are very few beef cattle In the
State outside OF what Miller & Lux have
on their ranches; that the total number
ayailabls for three months to come is
no Nhere near the amount that win be
needed for home consumption. The
California papers state the cause OF the
scarcity of stock is due principally to
the failure of crops last season and that
Eastern buyers took the greater portion
Of the cattle East.
There being comparatively no cattle
around Reno the buyers will look TO
this section OF the State, and it IS safe
to saw that as an estimate not over
1900 cattle are Obtaipsble In this eoun.
ty aud Elko county put together that
could be marketed during the nexi

doubtedly cause beef to gomuch highe

Joe Downey, who has been working
for Dan O'Ksefe at the Grand Central
hotel at Reno, Nevada for some time
past, committed suicide early Sunday
morning by cutting his throat with a
razor. Downey was the son OF a vel
known Mason valley rsncher and q
brother OF Recorder and Assessor Dow.
nsy OF Dayton, OF Lyon county. The
rash act can be ascribed to no definite
cause, as Downey bad no trouble, had
enjoyed good health and the best oi
spirits and was well liked by his asso-
ciates.

Net Proceeds OF Mines.

The statement OF the Assessor OF the
net proceeds Of The mines of White Pine
county for the quarter ending Dec. 81,
1893. was filed In the Auditor office last
week. The report OF Smith, Jackson
a CO., lessees Of the Homestake mine
near Hamilton, is particularly crafty
ing, being the best made by any mine
IN the county for ten years. 1t shows
a production Of $40 tons of gross value
of S2I. as. 40. The actual cost OF ex-
traction was 81, ,690.92 aud of transpor-
tation, sll, s3S.2s, leaving net balance
of 81, s29. %, on which the tax amounts
to Still. This is in marked contrast
to the reports Of Lani x Co, the for
NOR lessees of the mine, who swore to
the Assessor that they did not net a
cent. aud swore in Court In the Paul
case that they netted $1,000 in one
year.
The only other mine to make re-
port is the Young Treasure, owned by
r. J. McEllin, which shows produc-
ton of l40 tons of ore of gross value
of ss.035.25. The cost OF extraction
was 81. 3l2: OF transportation, 81, BIS. 20;
of reduction, 81, 4O5, leaving net bal
ance of only SAT.
Several other producing mines IN the
county are rendered conspicuous by
the absence OF any report, but with
possibly one exception, all have been
engaged in making extensive improve
mepts which have far exceeded their
net proceeds.

A COMPLETE SUCCESS.
The Pumping Operations on the
comstOck Entirely Satis-
factory.

VIRGINIA CITY, Feb. 20.-That the
Risdon pump is a success was demon
strated beyond a doubt this afternoon.
In company with Superintendent Ker-
win and Manager Mem. Ross, the AS
ISOLATED Press correspondent descended
to the |, 700 foot level OF the C. & c.
shaft and at O'Clock water was turned
into the pump, and without hitch of
any kind the water was sent through
the pipes TO Sutro tunnel under 900
pound pressure. The water in the shaft
was reduced foot minute, the stream
running through the Sutro tunnel and
the boxes carrying the water, like mill
race. The water company furnished
all the water needed and steady pres
sure was maintained at the |, 700 level,
not one leak being discovered in the en-
tire pipe. There is great enthusiasm
here over the success OF the pumping
plant and it is regarded as the turning
point for new era ON the Comstock.

The GubernatoriaI Contest.

The Carson News of the 18th inst.
says: The Supreme Court handed
down its decision this morning in the
Gubernatorial contest. The opinion
was read by Judge Bonnifield. 1t sus-
tanned a portion OF Respondents de-
murrer TO Relator's complaint and
overulsd the other portion.
The practical results of the decision
will be TO defeat recount OF about one
fifth of the entire allegations In Rela-
tors complaint, leaving however, the
other four-ffths to be contested and
tried on their merits. Ths validity and
legality of something over hundred
votes which Relator alleges should ac-
crue TO his behalf are permitted by tn
decision To be regularly tested and de-
tarmincd.
1t was the opinion Of the Court that
the soldiers vote should not be couut-
ed. This deprives Mcmillan OF thirteen
votes to which It is alleged he WAS en-
titled, and efiectually disposes OF that
portion of the complaint.
