The Comstock Mines---Influence of Stock-Bambling upon the Beneral Prosperity of the State How Merchants are Wleeced by | the C. P. Railway, and the Legislature Controlled by a Railroad-Lobby. San Francisco Correspond Chicago Tribune Nevada is pre-eminently a mining state. Nearly the wholg of its area being in the Great in, the part its surface is an platean; and this, ribbed by numer 51ih ey arly parallel chaing of moun tains, is divided into valleys of great elevation and length. Owing to the general absence of water for irriga tion, the dryness of its climate, the nakedness of the mountains, and the extensive salt and alkali plains, the greater part of the state is irreclaima bly barren; and only along the scanty streams is agriculture carried on with any degree of success. Take away the mines from Nevada, and from Utah to California there would re main a wideand desolate region, tray ersed by the Central Pacific railroad but with few other traces of civiliza tion, and inhabited only by a fow Mormon scttlers, cattle dealers and Indians, THE STATE GOVERNMENT The population at present is about 32,000, During the last ten years it | s not varied much from 50,000, Although scattered over an area of 105,125 square miles, the entire num ber of inhabitants is scarcely greater than that of an obscure *city in the east or Europe, and the present ag- ricultural and mining outlook hardly betokens any material increase in the near future, The present constitution of the state was adopted seventeen | years ago, and the number of officers as compared with the population is somewhat astonishing. The governor is clected for a term of four y and receives a salary of 86,000 per annum, and is also allowed a secreta at a safary of 82,400 per anuum. 7| licutenant governor receives annually 600, and during the 5 receives 810 per day as the ex-officio president of that honorable body. In addition, the state chooses every four years a sec- retary of state, treasurer, controller, surveyor general and attorney gener- al, each with an annual salary of 83,6000, and a superintendent of public instruction with a salary of 82,600. The first four named officers have also deputies, cach with a salary of §3,000. The legislative de- partment consists of twenty-five sena- tors and fifty assemblymen,—the of each being 810{»1:1 day, and uulu- age, during the biénnial sessions, — and with a score of clerks and other officials in addition. The judici consists of a supreme court, district courts and justices courts; and the officers of the first consist of a chief and two associates, each with a salary of 87,000, the term of oflice 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 tlm{, like the state ofticers, being elected by the di- rect vote of the people. The state sends one solitary congressman to Washington. yet boasts of as many United States senators as Pennsyl- vania or New York; and added to all this are fourteen county governments, each with its full complement of of- ficers, and supported 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 from outside barbarians, but also from the small army of tax-gatherers and oftice-hold- ers within their own borders. ECCESSIVE TAXATION. The revenue of Nevada is obtained from a poll-tax, a property, tax, and a tax on the proceeds of the mines, The entire assessed value of the real estate last year was only 568,658, upon which astate and coun- ty tax was levied amounting to §728, 092, or about 81 for every 840 of tax- ablo property. The expenscs of the government in 1879 were $2,276,000, or more than 26 for every man, w man, and child then in the state; and this year according to the report of the Controller, the rate cannot be less than £1.18 on the $100 valuation. It is not to be wondered that an outery against official extravagence is being every heard from the Wahsatch range to the Sierra, and a ll)npumllon to re- turn to rritorial form of govern- ment is being seriously discussed. Although the busiess of stock- raising has increased lirgely during the past five years, and thousands of cnulunru now annually shipped to San Francisco, yet mining still con- tinues to be the most important indus- try of the state, and from this source the main wealth of the people is de- rived. Scarcely more than a score years have elapsed since the entire r gion was inhabited only by the In- dians and a few Mormon settlers in Carson valley, yet during this time over $350,000,000 in gold has been produced by the Nevada mines, more than two-thirds of which has been roduced during the last decade. In &77 the most productive year yet known, the bullion shipments amounted to $561,308,017; while dur- ing the seven years proceeding 1880 the consolidated Virginia and Cali- fornia lines alone produced no less than 1,286,156 tons of ore, valued at $109,066,661, of which 850,702,478 was gold and $08,374,083 was silver, In epite of such enormous yields in former years, the big bonanza mines can now be purchased entire in the San Francisco boards for $1,800,000, and the value 0s all the mines on the Comstock on the 1st of May was only $14,030,050, as aganst $13,3 on the st of May, 1880, $42.06 in 1879, §36,261,000 i 1878, §38,- 334,300 in 1777, #£371,000,200 in 1875, when the excitement was at its height; and $4,696,700 in 1870 just before the Crown Point bonanza was discovered THE MINING OUTLOOK, In proportion to the population no other community has ever furnished a product 8o large in value 1 so short & time, Successive bonanzas in Chol- lar, Jacket, Norcross, Crown Point, Belcher, Consolidated Virginia, and the avihized world; and in a score of years such an advance has been made n mining that science finds itself al most powerless to suggest further provements Twenty years have changed wild and de into a state in the American unon; the prospecting hole of the pioncer is | now a magnificent three or four com | partment shaft, 2,600 to 3,000 fect | by powerful drills and giant powder; the bailing-bucket is transformed into | the gigantic pump the old fashione |into the hug | palace of the quartz-mill; and the | millionaire now on the spot once occupied by the miner's cabin i The Novada mines have erected the | finest buildings in San Francisco. hey have ade millionaires | ackay, Flood, Fair, O'Brien, Mills, | numerous bills, Sharon have made and a this no time | Keene, Sutro, Ralston, thousands of other men comfortable competence. .

But, if the market be depressed, thon trade is dead, luxuries are Junter- manded, old clothes are worn, clerks and barkecpers are idle behind their counters, lamentations against fate are heard, and from White Pine to Washoe gloom and despondency every- where prevail. The state 18 then steeped in mourning, and nothing but the opening of a new bonanza will bring about again a lively state of i TRANSPORTATION MONOPOLY. ““When the Bonanza kingsand the Central Pacific railway oflicials in Ne- vada join hands in_the pursuit of any 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 influcneo of bonanza gold in buying up the legislature, and | thereby regulating the tax on the pro- coeds of the mines, has more than once heen acknowledged; and none | the less powerful is that other mon- ster monopoly which regulates the carrying trade of the entire Pacific const, and which leaves no means un- tried to gain o desirod ond. Nevada is even more cursed than California by an unjust system of transportation. In the mattor of freights and fares, extortionate rates are charged be- tween the various points within the state; and to points wathout the state rates are reguluted more in reference to the amount the people will bear | than according to just and upright | transportation rules. Recognizing tho truth of the old adage, ““A penny savod is o penny earned,” the peoplo within the state can often make more than they can earn by walking when circumstances compel them to travel from one point to another; and the | old “pack mule” and *go cart” meth ods of transportation are even now used to advantage on roads running side by side with the railroad. It is a well known fact that goods shipped from the east to Novada are charged through full rates to San Francisco, and then excessive local rates back; and this in spite of the fact that the goods are not carried boyond the Sierra A car load of coal oil and candles for example, from New York to Elko, is c.hnnpnl $300 through rate to San Francisco, and 8000 local rate back to Elko--being a charge for 1,230 miles over which the conl-oil and candles do not travel, A car load of machiuery from New York to Peno costs $218 more than the sume to San Francisco; while to Win- nemucea a car load of clothing costs £506 more than to California, @ great- er distance of several hundred 1niles. A car load of dry-goods in boxes is charged from New York to W mucea the enormous sum of §1, it go a consideaable distance further; to Reno, the charge is reduced to 81, 430; and if it cross the Sierra, and is landed at San Francisco the entire charge is only 81,200, This same ex- tortion is not confined to the class of goods mentioned above, but extends to every kind of merchandise capable of transportation; and the ruu] is, the people of Nevada are oppressed by a system of robbery which would not be tolerated in an - eastorn state. Nor is this all. If the Nevada mer- chant wishes to send goods to Utah or the east, heis charged a higher rate than would be charged for the same goods from California; and this not- wn.hnumhng that the Sierra lie be- tween.
