BIG DOG HUAErG.-The Enterprise says
that ''the whitfets of journalism" accuse it
Of being the organ of the roughs. BY whit
fets" is meant, of course, those journalists
who do not belong to the big dog humbug
breed. The Enterprise oughsnot 10 be quern-
lous on that point, for, on the morning after
the election it clearly exulted over the "tri-
umph Of the roughS" and rejoiccd that its III
tercsts were with the roughs. Nobody could
mistake the tone OF the Enterprise then; nor
can it be mistaken now, that, in its growl at
the whites, it exhibits itself as the big dog
humbug trying to squirt its cologne water
over its confession of trough" organising.
Great men are always nfagnaHimous, and
great newspapers ought to be large and noble
in their notions and manners. But Of all
big things the Enterprise is the Httlest in ali
enlarged and pr, fessional observanccs. We
have hitherto described it as being only
"stinkingly windy" Such is the true de-
Scription of it yet.
peerless GOLD AND SILVER MINING Co.
This claim was Incorporated about one
year ago; since which time it has been

Isl feet. At this distance the claim shows
i well-dehned ledge, about six feet in width

Of the rock taken from the ledge, and the re-
suit Is very hattering to the locators. The
ledge was reached by means OF an incline
tunnel, and the rock is hoiSted out BY a horse
power "whim." Arrangements have been
perfected bv the company with San Fran
cisco capitalist for the erection of mill.
The owners OF this claim have industriouSly
worked It for the past ten months, sometimes
under the most embarrassing and aggrayat-
ing circumstances and we sincerely hope
that now they have struck it, they may
be amply rewarded for their perseverance
and industry.
