Here we have both mines as operated
in nutshell. We find that Belcher is
operated as much for the insiders " as
for the stockholders, for, on the 1st of
January of the present year, there was
on hand 1,023, 302, which ought to have
been distributed to the stockholders.
while the Raymond folks only kept
Sl4S,57S on hand drawing interest?)
Ot Belcher's disbursements of S5,5l2,-
S34, there is credited to dividends paid
to stockholders, 81, 1S4, 900, while, dur
ing the same year, out of Raymond G.
EIy's disbursements of $3,7S4, O95, there
was paid in dividends 5000, 900. And
OF extraordinary expenses, not likely to
occur again, We find Belcher paying
nothing, while Raymond expends $780,
900 to the Nevada Central Railroad,
S26, $50 for balance for mill construction,
and S97, GOO more for legal and title ex-
penses. II these amounts could have
been transferred to the Raymond & Ely
dividend account, it would have been in
excess of the Belcher. Belcher, out of
s., SIP, 1884 received, paid 50, 1874 600 in
dividends; while Raymond & Ely, with
S3,7S4, 095 received, paid $2,O7O, 900 in
dividends. 1t would therefore seem that
the Raymond management was more lib
eral to stockholders than the Belcher,
and yet in the market to-day Belcher is
selling for $7,712,OO0 and RAYMOND at
81, 595, 900. In other figures, Belcher
sells for So, III 900 more than Raymond.
Is there any reason therefor? Is Belcher
too high or Raymond too low? !. Belcher
pays 50 der month dividend; Raymond,
20. Having presented the figures, we
leave our stock sharps to digest them.

A CONSTITUTIONAL Op1NIoN.-The Eu.
reka Sentinel, while discussing the SUBJ
ject of lotteries in general, and the Ne.
vada lottery scheme in particular, says
the constitutionality Of the Act of the
Legislature authorizing the drawing, is
very doubtful. This is the first time we
ever heard that there was any doubt
about the matter, as everybody admitted
at Carson at the time the bill was passed
that it was clearly in direct conflict with
the State Constitution, but as California
had set the example of violating its Con-
stitutlon to aid the Mercantile Library
Association, they concluded to follow
that dangerous example on the assump-
ton that the end santi6ed the means.

HANG Them FIRST AND Try THEM Az
TERwARD. Since the California coil. has
gone into effect some very remarkable
absurdities and contradictions have been
found to exist in its provisions, but we
have seen nothing more remarkable than
provision contained in the law relative
to appeals in criminal cases. The code
provides that no stay of proceedings
snail be had on appeal, unless the Court
or Judge before whom the trial was had
or Judge Of the Supreme Court, shall
certify that in his opinion there is prob
able cause for a new trial. One Puncho
valencia was convicted of murder in tina
first degree in that State and sentenced
to be hung. An appeal was taken TO the
supreme Court and a stay of proceed
ings asked for until the appeal could be
heard. The Supreme Court denied the
motion for a stay of proceedings, as no
certificate had been filed as required by
the code in such cases, to authorize a
stay OF proceedings. Sancho therefore
stands IN imminent peril of being hung,
and the Court may hear and determine
the merits Of the appeal afterwards.

MY DARLING'S SHOES.

God bless the little feet that never 60 astray.
For the little shoes are empty, in the cojet laid
away,
| sometimes take one in my hand, forgetting till
1t is a little half worn shoe, and much too small
And ali at once feel sense of bitter loss and
And sharp as when, two years ago, it cut my heart
in twain.
0, little feet that weary not, wait for them no
For am drifting on the tide, and they have
reached the shore
And while the binding tear drops wet these little
shoes so old
Try to think my darling feet treadng streets
Of gold,
And then lay them down again, but always turn
and say,
God bless the little feet tha now so surely cannot
stray.
And while am thus standing almost seem to see
The little form beside me, Just ss it used t. be;
The little face upiltcd, with its soft and tender
eyes
All me ! might lave known that look was born
of Paradise
reach my arms cut fondly, but they clasp the
empty air,
For there's nothing Of my darling but the shoes
she used to wear.
@ the bitterness of parting cannot be done away
Until meet my darling where her feet can never
strays;
When / no more am drifted upon the surcing tide,
But with him safely landed upon the rivers side,
Be patient heait Nhile waiting TO see the shining
way,
For the little feet in the shining st,cet can never
20 astray.
