Cement CLaims aT WASHINGTON.—A
fine mill for crushing cement is being erect¢d on the claims of Knowlton, Maltman &
Potter at Washington. The “hurdy gurdy’’
‘water wheel is to be used, and it is estimated
that with four stamps, thirty tons ef cement
can be worked ina day. The mill will be
ready for work by the Ist of September.—
The claims adjoin those formerly owned by
McKee & Co. The latter are now owned
by a San Francisco company and are worked under the supervision of Mr. Wilsey.—
Some of the finest specimens ever taken out
in the county have been found in these
<laims. We understand that specimens of
the same character are being taken from
the claims of Knowlton & Co. The development of these mines will add much to the
prosperity of Washington and, we hope,
make wealthy men of the owners. .
Tue TarGetT Excursion.—The members of the Nevada Light Guard are ordered
to appear at their Armory, to-morrew at 1
o'clock, P. M. for the purpose of engaging in
target practice. Wesuppose the Company
will march to the old shooting ground on the
Red Dog road. ‘The prizes will be the
Company medal, now held by Mr. FredenDdurg who won it at the last shooting, and
. the leather medal won at the.same time by
Mr. Cary. We are informed that the ex‘cursion on Saturday was suggested by the
latter who is willing to relinquish the laurels he won tosome member of the Company
more deserving than himself. The leather
medal is about the size of a full moon, georgeously decorated and bearing an appropriate inscription. We presume there will be
gome close shooting for it. The,first medal
is ofsilver and gold, made by Gevige H.
Loring of this city. It may bescenat Crawford’s store. We hope to see every member of the Company out on Saturday afternoon.
Our people should not forget the excellent entertainment to be given at the Baptiat Charch, in this city, this evening by Miss
Angela Starr King. Asareader she is withgut a peerin the State,educated in the same
‘school as her lamented brother, she came to
this State forthe purpose of giving readings.
Fow had fergetten the eloquent T. Starr
King and when the sister caine people expected much of her. They have not been
disappointed. Everywhere she has been received by crowded houses and the grentest
praise is bestowed upon her. We sincerely

The. Nevada Gazette—who does it
‘Bepresent? What are its Princi‘ples? Elegant Extracts.
It would naturally be expected that the
bolters of this county would have an urgan.
Pfititéples were not a requisite, but a newepaper under their exclusive control to utter
their séntiments, advocate their measures
jand announce to the world their policy,
. was an essential; and in the Nevada Gazette Kent, Sears, Davenport and Hawley,
for two years past, have had a most effective
. exponent. “ We propose to briefly trace.
the career of that sheet for the past two
J years, to show, as we shall coaclusively,
the parties who are controlling its columns,
and to favor all whom it may concern. with
a few apecimen bricks of its political structure. :
About two yearssince the Union party of
and Davenport to their present positions. _ Fually
resolved to deliver Nevada county, bound
. hand and foot, to their great ‘master, Conness, these new incumbents recognized the.
necessity of first disposing of Mr. Sargent,
and with this in view, O. P. Stidger of San
Juan. was invited to bring the material of
the San Juan Press to Nevada city, and start
a daily paper. He was promised all the
patronage of the Sheriff's office, and all the
support that the skorts could render him;
while as an additional consideration Kent,
Hawley and Birdseye were to give him a
further bonus of one thousand dollars. In
consideration of their munificence Stidger
was to beslobber his employers and bespatter their opponents. Under these favorable
auspices the official career of these worthies,
Kent, Hawley, Davenport and the Gazette
was inaugurated. Stidger kept hie word to
the letter. His fulsome adulation of his
employers disgusted all save the recipients,
whose capacious vanity drank it all in as.
their thirsty carcases did whiskey; while
his vulgar abuse of Sargent increased that
gentleman’s friends by scores and hundreds.
Confident of the influence wielded by their
organ, in the spring of 1864 the shorts determined to make an exhibition of their
strength, and ran a ticket for delegates to
the State Convention against one supported
by Mr. Sargent's friends, and were unanimously repudiated by the people. In the
fall of the year they received a new ally —
This accession to their forces was W H.
Sears, a new political equestrian, whose last
sommersault carried him through the mere
trifle of three or four positive pledges, and
one solemn oath. Mr. Sears’ adhesion to
the organ. clique, of which the galorious
Kent was the Alpha and the impervious Hawley the Omega, was properly honored. He
was forthwith nominated by the organ for
Congress, and: his transcendent abilities duly heralded before a dazzled but slightly
doubting community. To give him the sup
port of the county inthe District Convention
would have been a very easy matter for.the
‘organ. There was no other candidste (rom
the county for any position, and te had a
clear field. But the organ was ei s

inener thet he would net vete for hin for

Hawley to be Kent's deputy. Of course
this would net do. Stidger had been “on
the inside" too long to be permitted to
blew. Sears called a council of the faithful;
Kent waa soothed, Hawley flattered and
Davenport bled. It would not do to let
the orgyn petish in this baleful eclipse ; of
woree yet, let Stidger. with all hia unhand
seorete, surrender it to the enemy: Soinething must be done, and was done Stidger
was bought off, and D:venport’s deputy,
Joha Bennett, took a mortgage on the whole
concern for tdie benefit of the clique— Kent,
Hawley, Davenport and Sears. This mort‘gige was executed Feb. 8th, 1865, to which
date we call particular attention in connection with the extracts from the Gazette
which wegivebelow. The foregoing sketch
may be thus summed up, The Gazette was
imported by Kent, Hawley and D venport
as their organ, it was kept alive by their official patrenage and personal contributions,
and when its old editor kicked in the traces
the’ same. parties got him out.and got'the
paper inte congenial hands, where it immediately began to express the sentiments of
the shorts as we shall now show. If any ove
wants to understand the motives that prompt.
ed such deeds as the killing of Dick Quinton
let himy read and ponder the following : x"
tracts. Kentand his gang are now hugging.
the employees of Allison Ranch.. Let us see
what he thought-of them a few months ago.
and what the paper that he kept alive by
the Shentfs printing and by contributions
of money said of them.~ The Nevada Ga-,
zette, then as -now-the organ of the shorts,
April 26th, 1865, published the fullowing :
“It is peace ? peace with theservile brute
of Allison Ranch, throwing their hats in the
air, shouting in-fiendish glee, aud preparing
a hellish orgie over the assassination of the
President? Peace with the hireling and.
sensual priests (ineaning Father Griffin and
Father Dalton) of a mind-enslaving religion,
teaching their embruited toliowers to trample on law and decency !”
April 25th,the Gazette suid:
“We hope McDowell will appoint a mitary commission to proceed to the (Allison)
miue and investigate the tacts in connection
.with this hellhole of treason.”
The shorts now go to this place they then
called a “hell hole of treason’ to beg votes,
and own that their only chance of success is
in getting support from those they called
“theservile brutes of Aliison Ranch” What
they said then of getting votes from such a
source will be tound in the Gazette of
April 29th, as follows:
“Not RESPONSIBLE, ETC —Certain parties persis! in asserting that the owners of
Allison Ranch mine are vot.responsible for
the outrageous demonstrations of their workmeu when they received the news of President Lincoin’s assassination; and these
same parties are trying to negotiate with
the owners of the Ranch for their workmen’s
votes—dves anybody see the point?”
Weask the ewners aud workmen.of Allison Ranch, ‘‘do you eee the point,” now the
shorts want your political uid?
It is only necessary to explain what follows to say that Phil. Galloway. is a man of
honor and integrity, generally knewn as
such. Jn the short hair organ to which we:
allude, April 25th, xppears a note from Mr.
Galloway requesting the Gazette to publish
the statement which he had left at the office,
and send the bill per Wells, Fargo & Co.
_ “This” says the Gazette “is an unmistaKable attempt at bribery ;" and after charging Galloway with “unqualified falsehood”
favors him with half a° Golumn more such.
stuff as we have already quoted.
But the Gazette was not willing to let Mr
Galloway off so easily. It has a clinging
spite, and never ceases saying nasty things of
any object of dislike. On the 5th of May. it
accuses “Galloway, the scuundrel,”’ as it
calls him, of destroying a Union ~ballot at
the Ranch, and then certifying to the returns;
and in the same paper says that he digcharged the man who cast the ballot.
On the 24th of April the Gazette announced that Union men of Grags Valley would
not act with the Copperheads in the President's funéral. It is well known that the
man who made the objection, who was too
good to mingle his tears with Copperheads
on that occasion, is D. B. Nye, who is on the
Bolter’s ticket for Assessor, and is now pleading tor Copperhead votes. -Copperheads
will be apt to say to him, if we were not
geod enough to walk in your procession
then, we will form our own procession to the
polla when you want our votes !
But the Gazette was not done with the
Allison Ranch and the Catholics. May 3fa°]
it published the following :
“The owners (Allison Ranch) have employed the md&t ignorant and degraded beings that ever disgraved the form of humanity; who under the moral teachings of a
hireling of bell, tricket out in priestly robes
(Father Griffin) have polluted the air with
their treasonable ravings.” :
Again it said— >
“Expecting every day to hear that Allieon
Ranch bas caved and buried alive a lot of
fiendish revellers, a little bird whispers in
our ear that it only waite fer some of the
owuvers to enter it.”
And again—“Jef Davis, Beauregard and Benjaminare
to swing for their crimes, letthe Government at least secure its domain from the
grasp of Colbert and Daniel, Tom. Findley
and the Watts—traitors as black hearted as
.
any that evér shouldered musket .or dtew a
‘sword in the cause of the slave. Confederaey.”” * a ; _
o We pause not fc r’want of clogind extracts:
but for wantof time Theshorts stopped at no
length of abuse and annoyance,to the men
they now court, when they thought that such
a course was necessary tu their popularity.
Their daily. conversation was.loaded with
just such sentiments as those put in ink by
their organ. When the news reached here
that Allison Ranch had gche unanimously
for McClellan, Kent. suid it “ought to be
sunk in hell.’’
We relate one other incident and let this

Griffin went to the Gazette office to publish
a card of thanks for the patronage received
by the Church, and was forthwith attacked
by one of-the writers of the paper about his

vlpaper back to Rome to your G—d d—d
*oll ; ~Pope?~ What do you stay around here
. ifor?” Father Griffin left. The managers
of the paper should have kicked the scrub
unealled fur insaki It referred to it next
day “as very wholesome advice given by a
gentleman of their office to an ignorant and
insolent priest.”
It is said the short hair organ has changed
editors, It has certainly, but it is and has
been the organ of the shorts, and during all
the time that these articles were appearing,
extending over months, Kent was furnishing
fresh sheriff sales to keep the institution alive.
The kind of article needed at the time for
party use was published. _The clique determined what kind was needed and seribblers
_in abundance to write them up were forthcoming © L.
