W. H. Tattle of the Ow SaLoon, Nevada City, bas secured the Agency f@r GRASS VALLEY IS BROKE. A Pessimistic View of the Present ‘Condition of the City’s Finances. The Telegraph of last evening says: The city of Grass Valley is bankrupt and it has borrowed as much money-as the law allows. Its warrants remain unpaid. It is evident that something will have to be done. There never has been money enough to run the city government, yet the present Board of City Trustees has saddled an extra expense of $2400 on the city in a polive pay it. We would like to know if enough business licenses have been collected to meet this extra expense. If not, then the creating of a police force is very poor policy, as it will eat up money that should be used for other pnrposes. In fact a large number of our people think it is a poor move and the sooner: it is done away with the. better. We do not know that any one asked that it be created. It wholly occurred in the heads of the Trustees. Well enough should have , been let alone. , Here is a city of 8000 inhabitants, ‘$8000 in debt, warrants unpaid, an extra expense created and the question where is the money coming from. Surely the business men are not going to bear any more of the burdens. They are doing more than their share already. Sia hina Sitver has fallen 25 per cent. in value since March of last year and 20 per cent. since the November election in 1896. RE Tur Independence gold mine, Victor, Colo., is reported netting its owner, W. 8. Stratton , $50,000 per month. Mr. Bryan has not yet issued _ his schedule of prices for speeches in Mexico. force and the business men have to FPN TL TN ITI Hard Up For an Issue. Those Nebraska conventions must have been hard up for an issue when they had to fall back on silver, which has depreciated 20 per cent since last election and is still falling. But whatcould they do? They had to have something for an issue as against’ the Republicans, and they knew that the free-trade chestnut would never do for another campaign. @ a OBO — Has to Say Something. Mr. Bryan is still harping on “intim‘idation.” He was sure that it was this that caused workingmen to wear McKinley buttons last year, and now he says that it is last year’s threats of foreclosure that lead the farmer to hustle afid pay off his mortgages. However, he must have something to talk about. a as Se hao all, A Bostoy company, “$3,000,000 capital,” -advertises “control of -a dry washer so that the ground may be worked at all seasons whether the water is frozen or not.” Fancy a “dry washer” in the Klondyke. DS gia Sat Arizona’s mining law does not admit of the relocating of claims where such relocation is plainly to avoid assessment work, and is mandatory in compelling locators to do development work. Mercor, “Camp Floyd” district, Utab, is a lively mining section. In addition to plants now in operation it is locally figured that ten new mills will be built in that section by June 1, 1898. E. Beavuperre of Murray,” Idaho, claims to have discovered a new and sure way of extracting gold from the black sand. As usual, he employs “chemicals.” ———+ +. 4Forty. thousand farm mortgages, averaging $1,000 each, are being paid off in Kansas this fall. That’s “what’s the matter with Kansas” now.

It makes quite an improvement in their appearance. — : They Cannot Escape. With a fall of 15 per cent in silver and an advance of 20 per cent in wheat since the Ohio Democratic Convention, it is not surprising that Mr. McLean and his little band of followers in Ohio are trying to get away from their platform. ++ e@e Lue British gold bugs again have the American farmer by the throat.

We would like to know if enough business licenses have been collected to meet this extra expense. If not, then the creating of a police force is very poor policy, as it will eat up money that should be used for other pnrposes.

Mr. Bryan is still harping on “intim‘idation.” He was sure that it was this that caused workingmen to wear McKinley buttons last year, and now he says that it is last year’s threats of foreclosure that lead the farmer to hustle afid pay off his mortgages. However, he must have something to talk about. a as Se hao all, A Bostoy company, “$3,000,000 capital,” -advertises “control of -a dry washer so that the ground may be worked at all seasons whether the water is frozen or not.” Fancy a “dry washer” in the Klondyke.
