The Comstock Mines Influence of Stock-Gambling upon the General Prosperity of the State How Merchants are loocod by the 0. P. Railway , and the Legislature Controlled by a Railroad-Lobby. SMI Knnrlw n CtormpoiirlMii'e ( lii < i | ro Trllimir NcMuln is pre-eminent ly a intniiif ; slntc. Nearly the w liolg of Us tirc.i being in the Great Uaiin , the greater > nrt of its surface is an elevated plateau , and tins , ribbed by numer ous nearly nniallel chains of moun tains , is divided into valleys of great dotation and length. Owintr t" the general absence of wntei fm irntfi- tion , thu dryness of its cliiimlf , the nakedness of the mountains , and the extensive salt and alkali plains , the L'rcatur i > rt of the state is iitrcliunu bly barren ; and onlj along the scanty stieams is agriculture cained on with any degree of success. 'J'ako way the iniiiei fiom ls'o\ncl.i , and from Utah to Cabfoiuii there would re main a wide and desolate region , lr.iv- eised by the Central Pacific tnilro.id , but witn few other traces of civiliza tion , ami inhabited only by n few .Mormon settlers , c.ittle dealeis and Indians. Till1. STATK ( lOM'.U.VMK.Vl The population at iircsciit is about 02,000. Dining the last ton ye.ua it has not varied much fiotn 50,000. AlthoiiKh scattered over nil nre.i of lO.'i ,125 sinmto miles , the entire num ber of inhabitants ii > scarcely greater than that of an obscure 'city in the castor Euiopo , and the ptcflcntau- licultutal and mining outlook hardly betokens any material increase in the near future. The picsent constitution of the state was adopted seventeen years ago , and the number of olliccrs as compared with the population is somewhat astonishing. The governor is elected for a toim of foui years , and receives a salary of 80,000 pur minimi. and is also allowed a secretary at a salary of § L',100 per anuuin. The lieutenant governor receives annually a salary of ? UiOO , ( , and during the session of the Senate receives $10 per day as the ox-nfllcio president of that honorable body. In addition , the state chooses u > ery four yours a sec- lotary of state , treasurer , contiollcr , surveyor general and attoincy gener al , each with an annual salary of $3,0000 , and a superintendent of public instruction with a salary of 82,500. The first four named ollicer.s have also deputies , each with a salary of $3,000. The legislative de partment consists of twenty-live sena tors and fifty assemblymen , the pay of each being ' $10 per day , and mile age , during the biennial sessions , and with n score of clinks and other officials in addition. The judiciaiy consists of a supreme court , district courts and justices courts ; and thu officers of the Fust consist of a chief and two associates , each with a salary of $7,000 , the tot m of oflico continu ing six years. There are no less than nine judicial districts , the salaries of the judges varying from $3,000 to $7- 000 per. annum , and they , like the state oflicors , being elected by the di rect vote of the peoplo. The state sends one solitary congicsHiuan to Washington , yet boasts of as many United States senators as Pennsyl vania or Now York ; and added to all this are fourteen county governments. each with its full complement of of ficers , and suppoited by a direct tax upon the products of the people. Verily , the 62,000 good people of Nevada may not only pray the good Lord to deliver them fiom outside barbarians , but also from the small of and ofllco-hold- army tax-gatherers - - era within their own bordeis. KCCICS8IVK TAXATION . The revenue of Nevada is obtained from a poll-tax , u propeity , tax , and a tux on the proceeds of the mines , The entile assessed value of the real estate last year was only 8ii7- 508,058 , upon which autato and coun ty tar was levied amounting to S728- 0 ! > 2 , or about $1 for eveiy $10 of tux- able property. The expenses of the government in 3870 were $2,270,050 , or more than $25 for every man , wo man , and child then in the state ; and this year according to the report of the Controller , the rate cannot bo less than $1.18 on the $100 valuation. It is not to be wondeied ( hat an outcry against oflicml oxtravageiico is being every heard from the Wnhsatch range to the Sierra , and a poposition to re turn to Tin n tonal form of govern ment is being seriously discussed. Although the busi'icss of stock- raising has increased largely during thu past live years , and thousands of cattle are now annually shipped to San Francisco , yet mining still con tinues to bo the most important indus try of the state , and from this notucu the muin wealth of the people is de rived. Scarcely more than a score of years have elapsed since the entire re gion was inhabited only by the In dians and a few Mormon sottlois in Canon valley , yet during this time over $350,000,000 in gold lias been produced by thu Nevada mines , more than tvvo-thirds of which has been produced during the last decade. In 1877 the most productive year yet known , the bullion shipments amounted to $51,308,017 ; while dm- ing the seven years proceeding 1880 the consolidated Virginia and Cali fornia linca ttlont' produced no less than 1,280,150 tons of ore , valued at $109,000,501. of which $50,702,478 was gold and $58,374,083 was silver. In epito of such enormous yields in former yours , the big bonau/a mines can now be purchased entire in the San Francisco boards for $1,800,000 , and the value os all the mines on the Comstock on the 1st of May was only $14,030,050 , as against $13,378,600 on the 1st of May , 1880 , $12.000,700 in 1870 , $30,201,000 ill 1878 , $38- 334,300 iu 1777 , $371,050,200 , in 18"5 , when the excitement was nt its height ; and $4,600,700 in 1870 just before the Crown Point bonan/.a was discovered THE MIMNO OUTLOOK. In proportion to the population no other community has over furnished a product BO large in value in BO short u time. Successive bonanzas in Choi- lar. Jacket , Norcrvsa , Crown Point , Belcher , Consolidated Virginia , ' and the tivili/ed world ; and in n score of years such an advance has been made in mining that science finds itself al- moat powerless to suggest further im provements. Twenty years have changed n wild nnd desolate region into n state in the Amcnuui union ; the pinspocting hole of the pioneer is now a mignificcnt three or four com partment shaft , 2,500 to H.OOO feet in depth ; the miner s pick is supplanted bj powerful drills and giant powder ; the bailing-bucket is transformed into the gigantic pump ; the windlass has given way to the engine in hoisting ; the old fashioned nrastra has passed into the huge tiuartx-mill ; and the pilaco of the millionaire now stands on the siKit once occupied by the miners cabin The Nevada mines have erected the finest buildings in Kan Francisco. They have made millionaires of Mackay , Flood , Fair , O'llrion , Mills , Kcono , Sutro , Ilalston , Sharon , and thousands of other men have made a comfortable competence. While this is true of the past , jet at no time have the the mining industries lan guished more than now , and no prom inent developments in the fuluie ate likelj to bo made "It would be use lens to disguise the fact , " sajt the uiratoi of the state museum in his late report , ' 'that ronfidom.o in the Com stock lode , horetofoio considered the backbone of mining in Nevada , has gieatly diminished. Attention is be- nit ; turned theiefrom to other mineral veins , almost oveiywhcto in thu state , and there ate those who think that , oven if the Comstock should fail , Nevada'will still bo , for an indefinite ) petiod , conspicuous for her great wealth of resoutces in thu picuious metals. " SOOI.U , I'll t 1,1 VltlTII.s. Mining being the great industry , the people hole can scaicely _ bo ex pected to conform to thu social rulcn of the older rftates. In Virginia , Eu reka , and other of the largest towns , gambling and other evil pi.ici.ices are earned on in broad daylight , and a public outcry against such proceed ings is seldom made. Thou * are many good and true people in thr unions towns and mining camps of the Sagebrush - brush state men and women who have left homes of luxury in the east , and who are hue as steel to them selves and their God , but society in geneial is crude and disorganized ; skepticism is popular at the expense of religion and morals , and saloons and bawdy-bonnes are more hugely patrnm/cd than reading-looms an < l churches. Everybody deals in stocks , from the mining milliomiiio to the bootblack or common laboier on the street ; and the fashionable young lady can converse as intelligently about thu lower levels of thu Comstock mines as abouc thu charactoi of the toilets worn at the last public ball , or the fearful re sponsibility resting upon bachelors who do not marry. If stocks be up , then business is lively in Caison , Keno , and other towns ; stores are pationi/od , saloons are filled with customers , and n general time of re- idicing on every hand is apparent. Silt , if the market be depressed , then trade is dead , luxuries are counter manded , old clothes nre worn , clerks and barkeepers aiu idle behind their counters , lamentations against fatu are heard , and fiom White Pine to Wnshou gloom and despondency ev 01 y- whcre prevail. Thu state IB then stooped in mouinint ; , and nothing but the opening of a new bonan/a will bring about again a lively state of atlairs. TIIKTUAN.SPoHTATKiN MONOl'OM . "When thu Honan/a kingaiuul the Ceutral Pacific inilway oflicialtf in Ne vada join hands in the pin suit of nny particular object , then the devil takes the cake , " said a Sagebrush statesman not long since to a friend ; and the statement , though crude , is true in its way. The influence of bonanza gold in buying upthu legislature , and theieby legulating thu tax on thu pio- coeds of the mines , has nioiu than once been acknowledged ; and none the less powerful is that oilier mon ster monopoly which leguhites the cauying ti.tde of the outiio Pacific coast , and which leaves no means tin- hied to gain a desired end. Nevada is even mote cuised than California by an unjust system of transportation. In the matter of ft eights and fares , extortionate rules aio charged be tween the various points within the state ; and to points without thu state rates are i emulated more in refoionco to the amount the people w ill bear than accotding to just and upright transportation rules. llocognumg the truth of thu old adage , "A penny saved is a penny earned , " the people within the state can often make more than they can earn by walking when circumstances compel them to travel friim , one point to another ; ami the old "pack mulo" and "go cart" meth ods of transportation are oven now- used to advantage on loads miming side by side with the railroad. It is a well known fact that goods shipped from thu pant to Nevada are churgod through full rates to San Francisco , and thoi\ \ excessive local rates back ; and this in spite of the fact that the goods are not carried beyond the Sierra A car load of coal oil and candles for example , from Now York to Elko , ia charged $300 through raUi to San Francisco , and $500 local rate back to Elko being n charge for 1,230 miles over which the coal-oil and candles do not travel. A wr load of machinery from Now York to Puno coats $218 more than the same to San Francisco ; while to Win- nemucca a car load of clothing" coats $500 moio than to California , u great er distance of several bundled miles. A car load of dry-goods in boxes in charged from New York to Wiiinu- mucca the unoiinous mini of $1,010 ; if it go a conaideaablo distance further ; to Hone , the chiugo in reduced to $1.- 430 ; and if it cross the Sierra , and is landed at San Francisco the entire clmrgo is only $1,200. This same ex- toitionia net confined to the clus of goods mentioned above , but extends to eveiy kind of merchandise capable of transposition ; and the losult is , thu ppoplo of Nevada aio oppressed by a system of robbery w hich would not be tolerated in un eastern state. Nor is this all. If the Nevada mer chant wishes to uond goods to Utah or the cast , heia charged n higher rate than w ould be charged for thu same goods fi oni California ; and this notwithstanding ' withstanding tha't thu Sierra Ho be tween. THK INIXUKNCK Of THU LOIllir. Time and again Imv o the people ought to have these evils remedied. J . * . . . ! * < 1/VltJI ltllllf licans and ilonioctnta liavo inserted planks in their platforms favoring the regulation of freights and fares ; and have declared unequivocally that all discriminations and excessive charges by rnihoadtorporalionsshould be pio- lubited by appropriate legislation Legislatuio after legislature has been pledged to carry out the wishes of the people ; but , under the influence of Central Pacific gold , these pledges have ever disappeared , like thistle down before the wind or snow in the sunlight. A powerful railroad lobby , headed by Stove Cage , is over nt Car son during the biennial session ; and every suspicious bill is carefully scru- United and i ejected. To confuse the legislators is always the plan of the raihoad-lobby. "We are protected in our rights now , ' they argue ; "lot us stave oil legislation , and all will be well " They introduce numerous bills , and then confuse men who desire to do right. They are ( puck , wiry , and strategic They are not fiank , open , and manly. Success is their high priest ami god. They take the law.makers aside , jingle gold in their pockets , whisper woids of sophistry in their ears , and tell them thai nny bill fiom the people willwoik gieal injustice to the rouls Thu question of fieights and fares , they say , is a very intiicale one at best , and such questions only gieat minds like their own cm comprehend. Ask them a few pertinent questions about thutiansportation tax from California ; thaige the corporation which they lepresent with blackmail , with delib erate extortions , with coiispnacius to corrupt the ropn-Hontativos of the people , with diHUimmations , and the other evils of the tailroad calender , and immediately you arc confronted with such a mass of subtle logic that you can do little else than listen and applaud. Pel haps some day in Nevada n leg islature will convene , u majority of whoso members will not consider it the square thing to vote each of the Central Pacific directors a gold modal ; perhaps men will not then foiget their manhood , and w ill remcber that God helps those who help themselves , perhaps the ills of the people will then have n patient hearing , and laws will bo enacted foi their relief ; but , until such a legislature convenes , bu siness will bo paraly/ed , cruel extor tions and discriminations will be practiced , mid thu railroad monopoly will continue a policy which will rob every poor minor in the state , which will destroy industry and which will promote wholesale poverty and dis tress. Gone to Moot Prod Hall. "Do you want any moro editors ? " asked a very mild-looking gentleman at The Herald counting-room yester day afternoon. The advertising man looked him over and answered , "No. " "I'm n funny writer , " said he. "Ycsi" "I can write poetry. " "So ? " "Yes , sir. 1 think yon will likr > this , which I In ought for a H.nujilu m what 1 can do , " and ho handed out this epic : Thtre wrw a joun lady of Fife , Who idunyH ati-pic uith liur knife , Which MI tiiuioled lur friuulx , That to make mime nmonilH , Thuyqtiiitly took lur sweet life. " 1 think it is veiy good , " said the advertising man , "but they would like you bettor at The Tribune office. " "Do you think they would ? " "Yes , sir. I think they would pay you about $100 a week. " He vanished to the southward , and his remains are piobably at this mo ment bestowed in Fred Hall's burial ground. [ Chicago Heuild. Hiumtoel Mo.
