Show Nevada' Delegate. The state of Nevada has sent as her dele-ga'.e dele-ga'.e to the Denver mining congress the lion. Ge.. W. Cassady, an cx-member of c-. .nut tv from that slat aud at present the ci. ior nnd proprietor of the Kr.rcka .V.' '. Mr. Cassady was in the city for a few hours yesterday, but left for Denver this morning over the K;.- Grande Western. To a Times man Mr. Cassady said: "I have no idea of th.- oV.wt or the eoj e of this raining eon- srress. In a general wa;,-, I suppose it is to .i'-e-.;ss tue minuig interests and the Lest j iii-.-: h-ny wl-.k-h u:,p industry cm be stim-n'tit- J. It ii posv;l!ie, even probable, that &ini'.' demands v.:':! be tru.de for legislation in iaav.iuf iuuresr-; but of that 1 am not informed, in-formed, should the matter of coiniii'ecome up, 1 am nu'-quivocaiiy and uucomproaiis-inirly uucomproaiis-inirly in favor of making it free and unlimited. unlimi-ted. This is not the time to discuss compromises. com-promises. We have been lighting for free coinage for years a ;d it docs not seem the. tune to lose courage or make any conces-sious conces-sious now. f course if it come to where we could get free coinage of the American product and nothing more, I might, if I hail a voice, in the matter, accept the proposition but we must not try to jump the fence before be-fore we get to it." Asked of the condition of the ruining industry in-dustry in his own section, the reporter was informed, that the camp of Eureka was shipping ship-ping about 3000 tons of ore a mouth, most of which was coming to Salt Lake, the freight rate being ?t a ton. Both of tl e snieiters there, the Eureka Cove, and the Richmond, had been closed dowu for the winter. Both of those company's mines were doing fairly well, but on a whole the camp was dull. , The best new mine, was the Diamond, a property purchased about a year and a half ago by R. C. Chambers and Richard Mackintosh Mackin-tosh of this city. That is employing nearly a hundred men and is producing approximately approxi-mately fifty tons of good ore a day, all of which comes to the Mingo smelter. But the low prices of silver and lead, the lack of railroad transportation and general business expression was having its elect on all of Nevada, and until those conditions were changed there was scarcely any hope for an improvement. |
