THE GLORY OF. THE COMsTOCK

During recent visit of the Ne
vada state bullion and license COL
lector to Virginia City, there was
unearthed at the Office of the
county clerk and treasurer, an old
journal showing the amount of
bullion tax paid in this city alone
dlring the interval between the
years 1875 and 1880. The infor.
nation contained in the book is of
intense interest and Importance, as
it gives official facts and figures of
the output of the leading produc-
ing mines of that period and
furnishes historical data that is of
immense value. AS far as known
these figures have never been
published and we Gull therefrom a
few of the totals that will revive
The tagging memories of the
veterans of those days, and furnish
to those of later generations an
impressive statement of the
marvellous production Of one period
alone Of the Comstock mines.
At the close of the quarter end
ing June 80, 1875, to the quarter
ending December 81. 1886, there
was paid in to the Virginia City
treasury bullion taxes amount ing
to $397,79759 The two heaviest
years were 1877 and '78 and the
largest single quarter was that
ending March 81. 1873, when the
total tax paid was $44,649.39. In
one quarter in 1877 there was paid
in bullion tax in a lump sum
5000, 1856, representing a back tax
which had not ben paid on account
of misunderstanding as to the law.
AS this money was recovered by
suit, and the district attorney re-
ceived q commission on the same,

REFRIGERATED CAT

When refrigerator car from

was found that a cat had made her
home in the car and had succeeded
in raising family of kittens in the
icy atmosphere of the meat car.
The mother cat and her kittens
seemed to be not the worse for
their confinement in the refriger-
ator car. Some cynics remarked
that the meat trust evidently did
not know about the cat incident.

Of the cat family its members

porter was forced to- testify as to
the wages paid him. He declared
that the company employed him
paid him only $25 . month. and
that the tips he collected amounted
to about SIS a month on the aver
age. In other words the sleeping
car company pays is employees
only one-fourth of their wages and
compels the travelling public to pay
the other three-fourths. When
you tip the porter, remember that
you are not really tipping him, but
the sleeping car company. Every
time you tip the porter, you are
adding to the size of the COM
pany's dividends, already swelled
beyond reasonable return upon
the actual capital invested. If the
sleeping car companies employ TO-
900 porters and the public pays
5000 of the annual wages of each,
it is contributing annually SO, 900, :
