grape and canister and probably before charging on day will throw a pots though the newspapers stand ranged behind the I 1 party lines swearing they will neither give nor take quarter there are a already to bo be seen indications of a good deal ot of trading naione the skirmishers most of the trading will bo be in the votes least 1 cast for county offices but it will also extend to the offices As inthe in tho lato late war while the big generals general s on cither alther side 1 were I re talking nothing but i blood and death the common soldiers I 1 the yank and johnny rob were between the inas engineering coffeo and tobacco trades so there Is seen in tho the present political battle battlo a good deal of friendly dickering between the voters of 0 tile the two armies despite of the diro sh outings ot of the captains tho the republican primary election will bo be held october ath th and tile the county comity convention on tile the 11 hi of that month but on oil both sides tho the business Is already pretty nicch cut and dried arid and men aro are out for all the ollices offices THE MINING SITUATION shows but little change tho the pumps which kli fich are to drain tile tho old hooded flooded workings below the smitro antro tunnel level it at gold hill are not yet started up tip for regular work they are now being carefully tested and there aro are many starlings and stoppages those elioso who aro in of tho new pumps willbo will bo sure sujo they aro are right before going ahead it 19 s the general opinion that thai once the pumps aro put to work in earnest E the old lower levels will bo be very rapidly drained A good deal ot of oro ore Is known to atit in tho the levels of tho the crown point belcher and other flooded mines this is worth going after but those who know abo ground around are of the ci opinion anlon that the ore deposits yet to bo be discovered will mill prove immensely valuable ablo than any of tho the known bodies tho the return to to the old deep levels will bo e a good thing tor for tho the town of gold it Is tor for this that thai many people in the town leavo lave for years been holding on to their properly they havo have always had faith in tile tha old flooded levels although mining block blocks s aro are still rather dull and low the there ro aro are good showings of ore lit in nearly all the leading mines of the comstock

purposes wo we havn have land enough and mines and minerals mineral enough 11 in nevada for millions of people but lack of transportation facil facilities litell prevents an all inflow of settlers ualesi they should bo be able to get in and out in balloons our people are not likely to go down into that part of tho the state either tor for lands or mines while so many of both may still bo be had

WAVE not long since I 1 bragged of tho the health of this city I 1 spoke too soon very shortly after several cases of fevers of different kinds were reported the sic knobs must be caused either by foul sewers or by the decaying wood of tile hie many bulkheads in all parts parti of the town As one might pitch a tent and camp here on one of our mountains 1 s a lifetime without contracting either cither typhoid or bilious fever it Is 13 evident that the present sickness comes from sonic some of the works and contrivances of man it Is most likely that the hewers bewers are the source of tile the trouble during the whole summer there has not once been sufficient rain to sluice them out the gutters V shaped wooden troughs are also althy filthy at times but being open to the iho sun and air they cannot become so poisonous as the old plank sowers that foster fester in ground so long saturated in sewage as to bo be black as muck tho the sewers all op open en to tile east at a point ono one or two hundred feet below the ground level of the ilia town and when the wind Is from the eastward the foul gases are driven up into the city and out at the gratings on the street corners also au out batall at all other hopeni openings ll 11 not a tow of which are lit in badly co constructed dwellings after the first good square rain or snow storm wo we shall hear no more ot of fevers I 1 I 1 DAN
