IN THE GOOD
OLD THIRSTY DAYS

The following data on the
amount of liquors brought into the
Comstock lode about the time of
the Big Bonanza has heen carefully
compiled from the United States
government statistics, and is
correct. While little out of the
ordinary, it ought to give a fair
idea of just how lively this old
town was in those days.
During the year of 1876, 1925
pounds of vermouth 48,5lO
pounds of spirits; 1858 pounds
ofsrum so, $40 pounds OF gin ;35, 818
pounds of bitters; 25,118 pounds
of sherry; 10000 pounds of port:
5,673 pounds of brandy; 100000
pounds of wines; 819,197 pounds
of whiskey; 1861 pounds of
porter and miscellaneous liquors
were shipped into Virginia City by
the Virginia & Truckee railroad.
Over $4,000 pounds of champagne
were shipped in during the same
year and, despite the fact that five
breweries on the lode were doing
a good business, the beer brought
into the place 1,187,698 pounds.
The total comes to 2,607,558
pounds.
There were set off at Gold Hill
during the same year the follow
ing weights of liquors
Beer. 6,O78 pounds; ale, 181, 1865
pounds; porter. 46,O50 pounds;
claret, 1o,1O6 pounds; port, 1906
pounds; champagne, 1906 pounds;
sherry 3.l40 pounds; brandy, 81,
735 pounds; bitters, 4,675 pounds,
wines, 58,245 ounds; gin, 1925
pounds; rum. 1000 pounds; whiskey
208,783 pounds; spirits, 6,8l9
pounds; miscellaneous liquors, AZ,
365 pounds
This makes a total of 649,686
pounds making the whole number
of pounds Of liquor shipped to the
Comstock lode in one year 3,257,
214 pounds. The weight of
mining machinery brought dur
ing that year was 10,138,217
pounds, or in other words. the
weight Of liquor consumed in
one year was nearly one-third that
of the mining ma chinery and more
by over 10000 pounds than all
the apples, beans, bacon, butter,
crackers, coffee, cheese, candle,
candy and canned goods. - Virginia

PITTMAN AND TALLMAN
A STRONG TEAM

Last week we mentioned that
without a doubt Key Pittman is the
proper candidate for the United
States Senate to head the demo-
cratic ticket in the coming cam
paign Second only in Importance
to the Office of the United States
Senator is that of a representative
in congress to succeed Mr.. Roberts.
For this place on the democratic
ticket the man thus far most pro-
minently mentioned is State
Senator Clay Tallman, who up to
recently has been the active and
efficient chairman of the democratic
state central committee. The
Miner unhesitatingly endorses Mr.
Tallman; his splendid record rs one
of the democratic leaders in the
last two sessions of the legislature,
is we'll known throughout the state
he, doubtless as much or more
than any other one person, has beer
responsible for the progressive and
constructive legislature. From the
stand points of personal ability and
integrity, experience as law
maker, clean record of things
accomplished a forceful campaign,
er and loyal servcie to his party
and the state, Mr.. Tallman car
qualify. We are for him. -
