LIoUOR sELLLING TO INDIANS,

OF all the crimes of which those liv-
ing on the borders can be guilty, that of
trading liquor TO Indians is among the
greatest Frequently followed, as it is,
10y train ofrobbery and murder, it is a
crime second only to murder itself in
magnitude, and yet we hear of its COM
mission in numerous portions of the
Territory. Even those striving TO make
peace with the Indians are followed by
these whisky traders who would. for
their own gsin, place innocent lives in
jeopardy. Numerous instances OF trad
ing liquor to Indians have come 30 our
knowledge from the Benton road, and
we also hear of them from the vicinity
of Bear Gulch, where. two hundred
drunken Indians are rendering them
selves odious, not TO say dangerous TO
the whites. To prevent the commission
of this crime, the officers of the United
States are doing all in their power, but 1t
is still almost impossible to capture the
whisky traders or to convict them after
they are captured, so difficult is it to
procure testimony, especially when the
principal witnesses are the Indians
themselves. 1t is therefore right that
cur citizens should, in every possible
manner, aid the officers and give them
all the information that they can with
regard to any suspected parties, for by
so doing they will only be providing for
their own protection. The laws of Con-
gress authorize two years Imprisonment,
a fine of FIVE hundred dollars and con-
fiscation of property, as punishment
for any one who may dispose of liquor
10 the Indians, and we hope to see the
law so rigidly enforced that this whisky
traffic with the savages may soon be
broken up. A large band of the Nez
Perce will probably be in this vicinity in
few days. The temptation to obtain
dollars worth of goods for cents worth
of whisky will be hard to resist by some,
but we warn such that the eye of tue
law is on them, and that il they allow
themselves TO be governed 10y their de-
sires, they will not escape the clutches
If the officers. That any who may in
dulge their greed for gain. by thus incit-
IN; tSe Indians Ia murder and robbery,
may be visited with the full penalty OF
the law. is the wish of all good citizens.

Germany has, occasionally, TO receive aid
at the hands of the government, in order that
its hundreds of miners may be kept in en-
ployment. IT Is plain, then, that ANYTHING
that has a tendency to decrease the actual
cost OF extracting ores from their vein de-
posits, will in the end give increased import
ance TO that rapidly growing industry. We
cannot but concur in the views entertained by
one of contemporaries, that before long
there will be n substantial cheapening of the
cost of cutting galleries, shafts, etc, in rock
a labor the most important In all mining ope-
Tations. Let the cost of this work be reduced
to one-fourth, or one-tenth its present rate,
and scores, hundreds, aye, even thousands of
veins could then be taken up and worked re-
muneratively. But as the case now stands,
even with cheaper labor, they must remain
undeveloped. The question then is, how is
this reduction In cost to be brought about.
We are told that by the use of machine drills
the cost of driving some parts of the Mt. Cenis
tunnel was reduced by at least two-thirds :;
also, that in the Hoosae tunnel the cost of
taking out rock by means of machine drills
was TO that incurred by the old process of
hand drilling as the ratio of TO 2S; or, IN
other words, the cost of excayating a cubic
yard of rock by the former method was oufy
IS, while by the latter it was SIS. 1t is true
these Improvements in methods of drilling
have as yet been OF no avail in legitimate
mining work, but the fact that earnest
patient minds are at work solving the problem
OF auaptatlOn, ana that too, with more than
an even chance of success, cheers us with the
! belief that, before long, the muscular power
OF the human arm, IN sinking the drill, will
be superseded by far less costly agent.
But we are not TO stop here. The days OF
ordinary powder explosive agent are
likely, soon, TO be numbered with the past.
The use of Giant Powder is now to step in, as
a very important element, in reducing the ag-
gregate cost of blasting operations. From
experiments already carried out, it appears
that, under some circumstances, there will be
a saving of nearly one-half the expense in the
employment of this powerful agent of explo-
sion, and probably under all ordinary circum-
stances It's use will be found in a high degree
more economical than that of common Pow
der. Again, we have every reason TO believe
that In a short time we shall have an article
of steel for the manufacture of drills far su-
perlor to any now In use. What with tung-
sten steel, manganese steel, chromium steel,
silicon steel, boron steel, We must soon have
an article far superior to any of the kinds
now in use We are already told of a kind,
that, as an instrument for the purpose, has
thirteen times the cutting capacity of an or
binary steel edge-tool. The signs of the
times are, most assuredly very hopeful. These
separate influences, we make no doubt, are
taking form, and will soon combine in the
interest of mining industry, to the extent
that, much that Is now impossible will then
become capable of the fullest realization."

NITRo-GLYCERINE AT THE HoosAC
TUNNEL.-A correspondent writes =
"Nitro-glycerine has been used only
few days, but has achieved a marked
success. 1t is prepared by q. w. Now
bray * Co, on the spot, that is, above
ground, and is brought down, charge
at time, as il is wanted. The makers
claim that the danger of premature ex-
plosion in ordinrry nitro glycerine is oc-
casioned by decomposition resulting
from being kept long time, and car
ried a considerable distance; and that
when prepared on the spot, and at the
time, il is less dangerous than powder;
and | must say that though at first
little nervous at being in the same hole
with that far-famed illuminate, l was
delighted with the expedient It cer-
tainly has a great superiority in its
effects. The trouble with powder is,
that it does not blow out the rock to the
depth of the hole drilled Nitro -glycer-
inc is like a regular old fashioned turn
key for getting at the roots of things
1t tears the rock out from the very bot
tom of the hole, and so saves Just that
amount of drilling The charges are all
exploded at the west end by electricity.
The workmen draw back the drilling
machines and their carriages behind
rude but strong doors, placed one hun
dred and fifty TO two hundred feet back
when the electric spark is excited, and
terrific noise is succeeded by the pat
teriug OF small stones and the grinding
OF big ones on ;he heavy timbers."-

Forged Bank Notes-A Startling
Disclosure.

The New York Journal Of Commerce
brings to light very important fact in
reference 10 counterfeit national bank
notes. A prominent bank of that city
some time ago, received on deposit a
500 note of the First National Bank OF
New Jersey, and sent it TO that bank for
redemption. The officer OF that insti-
tuition returned it, saying that the signaS
lures were forged The plate being
genuine, and the bill bearing the Treas
ury stamp, there was no possible way
for the public 10 guard against the
fraud. and the holders of the note sent
it on to the treasury department at
Washington to ask who would father
the loss. The following is the reply:
TREASURY DEPARTMENT,
ofIICE or THE CoMPTRolLER OF CURRENCY,
WASHINGTON June 20, 1eoc-
SIR Your letter of 23d inst received,
inclosing $50 national currency note of
the First National Bank of Jersey City,
n. ]. (check letter A. treasury, No.
10 ,6O0), she same bearing forged sigma
lures of the President and Cashier OF
that bank.
In reply TO your request for an opinion
from this office, as to who must bear the
loss, can only state that in my judg-
ment the loss must rest upon the party
who deposited the note at your bank.
until such party can be relieved through
its acceptance by the preceding holder,
and so on from hand TO hand, as prior
holders can be ascertained.
The fact is established that this inn
preston of $50 was surreptitiously taken
from this office. At present, however,
no provision of law, nor money appro~
priation exists, to enable this depart
ment to redeem the note or indemnify
its holder. . -h.t 7-'ni
The $50 note referred to is returned
herewith .f.I ..-e liza ..E. .-
Very respectfully, 49,
II. r HULBURT, Comptroller.
The Journal adds This is & start
ling disclosure. The whole impression
of the $50 issue OF the bank in question
has been taken "surreptitiouslyR from
the Comptroller's Department Has any
wide public announcement been made
of this fact2 Have bankers and others
all over the country been cautioned not
to take any $50 notes of the First Ma
tional Bank of Jersey City or has the
department concealed this loss, and left
the public wholly at the mercy of the
purloiners of these bills? For mo-
inent's consideration will show that, the
notes being genuine and complete in all
but the signatures, there is absolutely
no protection against their successful
issue. The signatures appended by the
rogue who holds them need not even be
an imitation of the officers names-no
one looks at anything but the plate and
the treasury stamp.
We may also add that the Govern
ment will be obliged to make an appro--
priation to redeem these issues, bearing
its official stamp, and the sooner the
department. takes some steps for the pro
lection of itself and the public the better
for all concerned. - BIfs fsIi0 CoDnaerci0E-
