Walking up the Line.

At a meeting of the Board of Direc-
tors OF the State Bank and Trust com
pany the resignation Of w. }. Harris
a. cashier Of the Tonopah branch Of
the bank was received and accepted.
George Richards was elected in his
place with George ". CoWing assjs-
tant cashier.
This means that the TWO Georges
are advancing along the line. George
Cowing departed for the new camp OF
Tonopah a few months ago to work in
the bank. His advancement is only
what was expected by his many
friends in this city. When the rest of
the world want first class material. il
comes to Carson for it and never
makes a mistake.

STRUCK A GEYSER.
An thrush Of Steam in Great Western
Tunnel.
T Tunnel.

At 4:30 yesterday morning the mi
ners in the drainage tunnel OF the
Great Western mines, operated by the
J. w. Hopkins company at Steamboat
ran into cavity containing heavy
pressure of steam The miners had to
get on a 2:40 clip. but none Of them
were scalded Steam is now issuing III
clouds from the mouth of the tunnel
This working was run IN order to
tap these cavities containing steam
and boiling water so that work in the
main shaft would not be hampered by
striking them there. 1t is believed that
this big boiler down in natures work
shop will soon blow itself off
Steam will he raised this morning
in the hosting works and the main
shaft will be sent down as rapidly as
possible Another shaft will be started
at the drill hole which developed such
huge assays. Work will be vigorously
prosecuted on both these shafts and
other developments may be looked for
in the next thirty or forty DAYS.
AS the main shaft drains the drill
holes there is little fear Of water
bOthering the men in the new shaft
and work can therefore be carried o.,
very apidly-Journal

Governor came along. After a few re-
marks, the Governor said
Boys, that one chair has cost me
more cash than any one object | own,
l suppose it has cost me couple of
thousand dollars 1t originally came
from the South with me, but the first
cost amounted to nothing. The thing
that has made it cost is the very

my house has nearly poEed an eye out
with it. Just let youngster walk by
that chair and if he don't try>to punch
his eye cut, he is not of the ordinary
kind Well, the youngsters all had to
have a doctors bill added to the orr
ginal cost
But where that chair shines is with
the ladies of the household My wife

get on their fine clothes and pass near

have pretty expensive tastes.
Whenever get out of thehouse for
a few days, my wife just pitches that
chair out into the woodshed or any
place that will get it out OF her way.
OF course have to hustle it out ag-

me Appeal has received a vOlumn
containing the veto messages of Gov
ernor Sparks, on bills passed by the
last legislature and were vetoed by the
Governor. The compilation is by Sec
rotary of State Douglas and is exceed
ingly comprehensive.
A summary of the laws vetoed are as
follows, also the reason of the veto:
A. B. No. 52-An Act to compel
peace officers to wear badges while on
duty. The Governor states that peace
officers, if compelled to wear the bad
ges as proposed would make ready
mark fer criminals, and also crea, e

LEVIED that the bill, should it finally
become a federal law, would act ag-
ainst the best interests of the South
ern wool growers and cotton raisers
luton No. 8. introduced by Senator
JacksOn-Relative to censuring the
State Board Of Canvassers en- their &C
tion regarding Concurrent Resolution
No l. OF the session Of 1889. The
Governor vetoed this action for the fol
lowing reasons:
% 1t is implied, i not an actual
censure upon the three Justices Of the
Supreme Court. who in December last
constituted the State Board of Can.
vassers; and
90 The censure is not justified
because there was not in December
last. and is not now, SO far as | am
able to ascertain, any law authorizing
or empowering the said Board of Can
vassers to make such canvass. There
can hardly be a failure to do an Off
cial act unless there be law empower
ing an officer to do such act
As II the duty Of the present State

Baxter C Co.'s Cotton letter.

New York. December 12.-There was a rise of points in Liverpool today in the future market and points for spots. The Chronicle sail that cotton was being marketed promptly and the same authori- ty published vague report on the situa- ton against a moderate crop. There was a gain during the week in the visible supply of 1360OO bales. Stocks in the Liverpool market were gaining, the in- crease being 34,000 bales, although there was a falling off in the aioat stock of 55, 600 bales. Print cloths were advanced at Fall River and elsewhere. Port re- ceipts today. 430O0 The market started ragged but soon turned very strong. Sell CTS were in the back ground. The bear element were simly pointing to the big movement but feared to sell. Small crop estimates were standing firm and there was a good deal of anxiety in dry goods circles to secure supplies.

cothran & Co.'s Cotton Letter.

By C. w. Lee
 New York. December 12.-There has been heavy profit-talxing for two days by outside holders. This cotton was bought below 12 80 and some below 12.25 The shorts who sold, have been covering so that once more professionals have had the worst of the argument. Part of the strength today was duo to talk of bad weather in the south. There was enough buying to carry the price above that touched by the reaction of Tuesday when May sold from 20 to 12.57. The profit taking, however, left the tone rather un- certain after May passed 12. and talk of trouble in the far east brought out some cotton The Financial Chronicle came out with the statement that evil dences pointed to larger commercial crop than last year. This is not in line with other reports from the south and we are not inclined to credit the figures. Still. the size of the crop is uncertain and as prices have reached point where con- sumption is being cut down, it is advsa- ble to proceed with greater caution than when cotton sold at 10 cents or even Il cents. We cannot but feel that profits should be taken now on advances, how ever bullish the situation may appear.

on an declines we feel sure will yield a

on all declines we feel sure will yield a profit.
 There has been during the week an ad- vance in. cloth goods of from half cent to three-quarters of cent per yard. Ticking advanced half a cent, bleached cloth half a cent yard, and sheetins l cent a yard. We are further advised from southern mills that goods have been advanced to the equivalent of 1s4 per cent on cotton and the demand continues fav- orable on that basis. This is the most satisfactory evidence of the stability of the cotton market that we have had at any time and as soon as all spinners take action to advance the price of manu- faetured goods and force the world to recognize that cotton has established a new high level of price in keeping with the now normal values of other staples and necessities of life, there will be no further trouble or cry of unsettled condi- tions and the cotton world will move along as smoothly as 1t did when the sta- pie was selling at 8 cents.

Caldwell ( Wards Cotton Review.

By Miller X Co.
 New York. December 12-As the holl- days approach, the arguments pro and con about cotton are numerous, and the differences in opinion become more va ried. The main point made by the bulls is on the increase and excess of receipts over last year, they claiming that this indicates that the crop is fast going out of the country. and that as 1t Is short, there will be no cotton at any price Tn the next few months. On the other hand. the bears claim that the heavy insight movement this season. allowing for the fact that we are calculating on a basis of 102 days for this season. against lO3 last season, puts the insight movement 5O000 bales ahead of last year and they further claim that the first of January will show an excess movement over last year of 2O0Oo bales, but all this has been ignored as the strength of the market is demonstrated by it's easy advance on the slightest buying. The sentiment among conservative brokers on the floor is that we will have rather waiting market until after the holidays, but with good f,uctuations. the tendency being upward and 1s cents being freely talked for cotton before Christmas. favorable opportunity is offered for scalping, so purchases made

 By Miller & Co
 New York, December 12.--The market has not been very important. The bank statement was about what was expected and as there were no new buying orders some stocks were offered down. Penn- sylvania was attacked. We have sus- picion that the selling was by a proml- nent bear operator. although we have no means of confirming this. The market closed with some gains over last Satur- day and we think the short interest is still very large, larger than generally sup posed The underlying conditions are sound, but it should not be forgotten that there have been some very severe losses sustained by the people usually promi- nent in the making of markets. We do pot think there will be any big specula- iion for the balance of the year We think Erie common, which has not been exploited for any particular group of capitalists, cheap Most of the indus trials have no friends at present.
