The Sherirs Office Again

The report of the sheriff's office to
the board of county commissioners at
their last meeting, will give the tax
payers of this county a clear idea of
the necessity of employing two deputies
for the conduct of the affairs of that
Office. In the month of February the
receipts of the office were one dollar,
and the several salaries paid for this
service amount to two hundred and
sixty-two dollars and fifty cents.
We merely make the statement for
the benefit of the tax payers and do
not consider that it calls for any
lengthy comment by us. But we do
feel that it is fact worthy of mention
when the commissioners of a county
permit such fragrant injustice to be
practiced upon the public.
Commissioner Alexander stated that
Tic tIIOuS III IL dill pOSltioi ukOi Ni'S
county to retain the present force in the
sheriff's office at the expense of the
county, when the needlessness of it
was so very apparent, and requested
the other members of the board to take
the necessary action to prevent it, but
his motion was over-rulcd, they SEEM
ing to think that it was a matter of no
import to the people that they pay two
hundred and sixty-two dollars and
fifty cents for the collection of one dol
lar in fees for one month.
We would like to know just what the
tax payers do think of it, and Just
what action they will take.

Of ore averaging $3.50 to the ton. All
Of the ore thus far extracted from the
drift has been sacked and is ready fol-
shipment.
Up to date it is conservatively esti
mated that $4,000 worth of ore has
been extracted from the shaft ard
drift in the process Of development
This is equivalent to saying that fo1
every foot of work done $500 in Or
has been secured. 1t sounds like /:

Action.


Action.
Herman Zadig departed for San
Francisco last night after short Wis
it to the Comstock. He was interview
ed by a Chronicle representative on
the opinion of the existing conditions
and the outlook for the future.
Mr.. Zadig stated that the principal
object of mis- visit was to inspect the
ore body in the Ophir and that the
shortness of his stay precluded an in
spection of other mines. He expressed
himself as being highly elated over
the outlook for a long time to come
as a result of the find in Ophir AMI
declared that it meant the unwatering
of the entire lode and the Gold Hill
group in particular.
THE discovery, in Ophir," he con-
tinued. shows how little the Com
stock has been prospected." AS to the
slightly poorer showing in the ledge
he says it is but a repetition OF what
has always occurred in Comstock ore
bodies, even with the big bonanzas.
It is to be expected, accoring to MS
bpinion. that horses" and punches OF
porphyry will be encountered, Dut
these have little bearing on the pro-
bable dimensions of the ore body. He
stated that there is showing OF alb
ont twelve feet Of ore exposed in the
face Of the northeast drift in the 1890
level sufficient to allay any fears OF an
immediate "petering out" of the ore
When it is taken into considerable
that the ore has been followed and ex
posed for a distance OF nearly 2ot
feet and the dimensions Of the Slopes
that can be raised above the drift II
this distance are figured, it will b'
seen that Mr.. Zadig's favorable pre-
dictions have foundation in fact.
In conclusion he predicted anothe
