Evrror Transerirt: I read in your pa. per of the 14th inst. a con:munication purporting to be from ‘‘an old Virginia City miner,” which is very good in most respects, butisa little off in others. He does not stay with his blessed historical old home properly. Of course, he may choose to forget or obliviously ignore the grand stream of weulth which the old Comstock poured into the lap of the nation and the financial world when it was most needed, but he thould not forget that there have been three or four periuds when the bottom. of the Comstock has apparently dropped out. This may be on2,of them and yet not the last. There is good hope yet and we continue to be ‘‘on praying ground:” Our streets are not. ‘‘crowded with idle men” and-‘‘two-thirds of the buildings not soon to be given to the rats and bats.” ~ It is pleasant to read that everything is going ahead so prosperously ‘in Nevada county, and that she is so likely to capture the golden cup on mineral prosperity (accept enclosed coupons which I have clipped in furtherance of the proposition). Safi Curtis, the old Comstock mining manager, is here now, recently from a three years’ mining siege in Mexico, and is happy to be at home once more among his old friends that are left. He speaks well of Nevada county from latest cbservations and you may meet him again. As for the electric railroad proposition of Frank Golden and other Comstockers from your little old town to Grass* Valley and Smartsville, all we, who. understand the situation and prospects, agree in strongly encouraging the idea as first-rate and likely to prove as financially successful as it deserves tobe. It is Sunday, now, as Iwrite, and a devotional spirit comes over me. Mr. Crittenton, the noted evangelist, after working Reno and Carson for some weeks, successfuHy, got through with a ten days’. siege with Comstock devilishness on Sunday night. He left on next morning’s train. During this week the local elergy carry out the details each evening, and on Sunday evening next will divide or apportion the convert scalps among. the respective churches interested. Mr. Crittenton is a good man, one whom we all like, but he struck usin a tough time when the “silver lining” has dropped out of our cloud, .and} there are few Comstock souls worth paying heavenly assessments upon, Bat, don’t understand that he did not aucceed as a hard worker in the vineyard of the Lord, according te all we deserve, and from repeated attendance at his revival, T imnostheartily indorse bhimand wish him continued success, hoping he will tind a already done it. And don’t you. forget. that the ‘‘cloud with thesilver lining” isn’t deuee high te the purse with the gold lining. Trot out the gold from your gravel and quartz mines lively during the coming season and even Cleveland will think favorably ef you.

Evrror Transerirt: I read in your pa. per of the 14th inst. a con:munication purporting to be from ‘‘an old Virginia City miner,” which is very good in most respects, butisa little off in others. He does not stay with his blessed historical old home properly. Of course, he may choose to forget or obliviously ignore the grand stream of weulth which the old Comstock poured into the lap of the nation and the financial world when it was most needed, but he thould not forget that there have been three or four periuds when the bottom. of the Comstock has apparently dropped out. This may be on2,of them and yet not the last. There is good hope yet and we continue to be ‘‘on praying ground:” Our streets are not. ‘‘crowded with idle men” and-‘‘two-thirds of the buildings not soon to be given to the rats and bats.” ~ It is pleasant to read that everything is going ahead so prosperously ‘in Nevada county, and that she is so likely to capture the golden cup on mineral prosperity (accept enclosed coupons which I have clipped in furtherance of the proposition). Safi Curtis, the old Comstock mining manager, is here now, recently from a three years’ mining siege in Mexico, and is happy to be at home once more among his old friends that are left. He speaks well of Nevada county from latest cbservations and you may meet him again. As for the electric railroad proposition of Frank Golden and other Comstockers from your little old town to Grass* Valley and Smartsville, all we, who. understand the situation and prospects, agree in strongly encouraging the idea as first-rate and likely to prove as financially successful as it deserves tobe. It is Sunday, now, as Iwrite, and a devotional spirit comes over me. Mr. Crittenton, the noted evangelist, after working Reno and Carson for some weeks, successfuHy, got through with a ten days’. siege with Comstock devilishness on Sunday night. He left on next morning’s train. During this week the local elergy carry out the details each evening, and on Sunday evening next will divide or apportion the convert scalps among. the respective churches interested. Mr. Crittenton is a good man, one whom we all like, but he struck usin a tough time when the “silver lining” has dropped out of our cloud, .and} there are few Comstock souls worth paying heavenly assessments upon, Bat, don’t understand that he did not aucceed as a hard worker in the vineyard of the Lord, according te all we deserve, and from repeated attendance at his revival, T imnostheartily indorse bhimand wish him continued success, hoping he will tind a already done it. And don’t you. forget. that the ‘‘cloud with thesilver lining” isn’t deuee high te the purse with the gold lining. Trot out the gold from your gravel and quartz mines

Heod & Co.,; Lowell, Mass,: “Gentlemen: Wishing to tell what Hood’s Sarsaparilla has done for us, I will say that 3 years ago we had a beautiful boy born tous, When about six months old he took a sore mouth. I had two doctors but allto no benefit. At the age of 11 months he breathed his last. Thlis we laid Our Darling Child in the grave. On Aug. 4, 1891, another boy was born unto us. At the age of two months he became afflicted with the same disease, Ibelieved the boy's trouble was constitutional, and not common sore mouth. I procured a bottle of Hood's Sarseparilla and commenced to give it regularly to both mother and baby, and occasionly washed his mouth with a syrup of buck brush root. Improvement began at once. We have suceceded in eradicating the scrofulous bleed from] the system and today we are blessed with a nice fat baby boy, cighteen-months-old,-—He is the-very Picture of Health. all life and full of mischief—thanks to Hood's Sarsaparilla. I am a minister in the Methodist Protestant church. I am here to back what I say and I am in noway interested in any profit in the matter, exHood’s =.
