Drifting on the ledge. A progress of
twelve feet has been made. The face Of
the drift is all in ore. The greater por-
ten of it is still low grade, with occa-
sional lunches of exceedingly good ore.
On the hanging wall there is narrow
streak, assays from which occasionally
reach a very high figure. A cross cut in
the drift shows the width of vein to be
eight feet, with a good clay gouge on the

Work in the mine is going on as usual.
The shippers cleared the dump of ore
on the 4th inst. About 40 tons have
since accumulated there. On the 18th
bullion to the amount OF S5,3267l was
shipped. The new shaft is now down
23l feet, and everything is running
nicely.

Everything is running smoothly once
more. Two shifts, OF fifty men each, are
now at work below, and about fifty men
are working at the surface, making in all
about one hundred and fifty. 1t is not
the intention to put on more men. Be-
tween IS and so tons of ore are taken out
and shipped by rail to the mills daily
More ore could easily be taken out. The
drift from the ninth level is now in l25

4 Case Decided.

Iowa has offered another warning to
the railroads In regard to the treatment
which they may expect at the hands Of
a jury if they persist in excessive charges.
A case OF overcharging has just been de-
cided against the Chicago and North
western railroad, at Marshalltown. It
has been pending, in one shape or Il
other, since 1869. The overcharge that
was made was but 81. 20 in the first in
stance, but the railroad managers were
obstinate, and contested the case at every
point. At the first term, the dispositions,
which the road had been at considerable
cost to collect, were thrown out on ac-
count of informalities. At the next
term, the entire costs of the suit were
thrown upon the railroad because it was
not ready for trial. At another term,
the verdict of the jury was set aside,
because it was believed that the attorney
for the railroad had tempered with the
jury. The Supreme Court of Iowa sus-
tanned the position, and the case came
up for a new trial. At last, a jury has
brought in a verdict against the road,
and fined it 5000, the largest penalty al
lowed by the law. The result of this
case illustrates a principle: Whatever
may be the error of Legislatures in deal
ing with railroad monopolies, the abuses
of which the people complain will be
sure to be punished. If prosecuted
under a statute, there may be moderate
fines, as in the recent Iowa case. If
successfully prosecuted under the COM
mon law, the remedy is of a broader
character, for the practice which is
found contrary to law will be summarily
stopped by the courts on the verdict of
juries. Statutes are thus apt to be
finally in the interests of monopolists,
but the abuses of overcharging and dis
eliminating ~unjustly will be reached in
n way or another, and they will at
last be broken down.-Chicago Tribune.

IT is estimated that there are at the
present time 5000 different manufac-
tories in Maine, giving employment to
over 40, 200 persons, the aggregate pro-

NJ. GAYoN, as theresult of experiments
on the putrefaction of eggs, finds, first,
that shaking the Eggs has little or no

and third, that the germs of these Or
ganisms are in all probability derived
from the oviduct of the bird.
IT was just forty years ago that, in
Florida, at a peace conference under a
flag of truce, between the Indians and
white troops, the American commander
was treacherously shot dead by Osceola,
a Seminole chief, who died a lingering
death in prison. And it is a noticeable
fact that the campaign that followed was
the only really successful one ever pros
ecuted against any largetribe Of Indians.
HISTORY is philosophy teaching by
example. The commercial failures in
the United States for 1870, 1871 and
1872 show hat the further we depart
from cash principle, the more we run
into danger. The failures for last year
are reportedsas aggregating S121 900, 900,
against $85, 900, 600 in 1871. A consid-
cradle part of this increase is known to
be due to the great fires in Chicago and
Boston.

Type.Setting Machinery.

1t may not be generally known that a
large number of machines have been
made that were capable of successfully
setting type. One has been in use in
New York for twelve or fifteen years
past, for certain kinds of book work,
and there is another of a different con-
~struction in Boston. But they do not
give results enough better than hand
setting to justify their general intro
duction.
No doubt further trial of abandoned
plans might produce something really
useful, for conditions have changed
since many of those plans were tried.
For instance, some composing machines
failed because they were liable to break
the type made of the usual type-metal,
which is very brittle. To obviate this,
machinery was constructed to manufac-
ture type from copper wire, which was
successfully accomplished. But it was
found that the soap used for washing
the ink from the types after printing
corroded and spoiled them, SO that the
project fell to the ground. Since then,
however, benzine, which does not cor
rode, has been quite exclusively adopt.
ed for cleaning type in printing offices,
and copper type would no longer be OBJ
iectionable from the cause referred to.

A County Bankrupted by a Corrupt
Ring.

A Jacksonville GIL letter says:
A mandamus will shortly be issued
from the United States Court at Spring
field to the Supervisors of Macoupin
county, commanding them at their June
session to levy a sufficient amount of
taxes to pay the judgments already given
in favor of the parties holding the new
courthouse bonds, and liquidate the
accrued interest on the same to date. It
is authoritatively stated that the indebt-
edness on account of the courthouse
amounted to 1900, 600, and the judg-
ments rendered are nearly 5000, 600,
while the assessed value of the property
in the county for 1872 was S 1000, 600.
Thus it will take ten per cent. on that
valuation to pay off the present Iudg-
ments, while numerous new e Will
continue to accrue from time to time.
This sad state of affairs is causing a
general panic among property-holders
in that county. Many are selling their
real estate at about half its real value,
while nearly all are for sale at some
price. Property is depreciating in value
rapidly. and it is hard telling where or
how the trouble Will end.

The Mystic Number Three.

There are many reasons why the Mys-
tic Number Three is held sacred in this
country as well as in others. A man
lives to the age of three score land ten.
Three meals a day are all the European.

get into a bed with comfort, unless you
repose spoon fashion. Three persons
just make a trio. Three dollars Cor
more) will buy a bottle of wine. Red
postage stamps cost three cents, unless
they are blue or green. Knives are
made with three blades. On the cars
you can purchase three apples for a
dime. The girls are better company
than two or four, for then to the old one
you can be making love. There are
three branches of recommendations,
Senate and Faro Bank Three wheels

girl in it riding with you, causes the
pesky thing to upset. Three teeth

his looks as a general thing. Let a

gin cocktails in the morning, three
brandy smashes before dinner, three
punches before tea, and three sherry

will soon get into the habit of taking a
drop too much. Then it takes three
eggs to make a custard and nine tailors
to make a man. Three times one make
three, and three times three make nine.
Funny, amt it? Then men often have
three wives. Houses have three stories,
and stories have three chapters. Again,
some kinds of ships have three masts.
Ladies often wear three hoops, have
three skirts, and the same number of
lovers. Duelists always count three be-
fore shooting. John Wentworth has
been elected three times. Three pieces
of silver 1.-TWO quarters and a half will
make a dollar, and three babies make a
triplet. Three fatal stabs in the vitals
will seriously hurt an able-bodied man,
and three kicks in the rear from an in
dignant boot will breed trouble between
the lover and his proposed father-in-law.

Capt. Thomas and His Fellow-Martyrs


A letter from the seat of wal in the
ute to Capt. Thomas and his brave
but unfortunate party who fell under
the murderous fire of Capt. Jacks red
devils :
Justice to the memory of the gallant
dead compels Us to record the following
Observation-Disclosures facts: When Capt.
Thomas found himself and his men sur
rounded by the vindictive foe, true to
his nature as a soldier, he sought to
cheer the soldiers on to the bitter end,
obtain, if possible, life for life, and sell
their lives dearly, saying: "Men, we are
surrounded. We must fight and die like
soldiers" In his noble efforts to sus-
tain the courage of his small command,
he was ably seconded by Lieut.. Howe
and Lieut.. Wright. After receiving his
mortal wound he buried his gold watch
and chain among the rocks and emptied
his revolver among the enemy before
dying. IF living he would also write in
terms well deserved the praise Of Lieut..
Harris, who was similarly situated.
Capt. Thomas, with a portion of his
battery K, Fourth Artillery, set an ex-
ample OF bravery and determination to
his men, utteling such sentiments as
those already quoted, not that they re-
CURED such expressions to stimulate the
men to deeds of bravery, when every
man would willingly have followed
either officer wherever he chose to lead;
yet they show the mutual confidence ex-
isting between them. Since they were
to fall it is a pity that they had not been
where they could have opposed a worth
Ter foe; but it is a mournful consolation
hat each-Capt. Thomas, Lieut.. How
ard and Lieut.. Wright, and the son of a
soldier-met a soldiers death in defense
of their Government and the laws of the
country.
Of the men killed or wounded it is,
perhaps, sufficient to say that they
showed their bravery with their blood
the former with their lives, and the lat
ter in their total or partial disability.

Why the Modocs Killed CANDY.

Some allusion has been made to
the event of twenty years ago, which is
believed to have been the prime of
the massacre of Gen. Candy and DIR.
Thomas. The details of this event are
briefly summed up in the following tele-
gram from San Francisco on the Goth
ult.
"In 1852, North California was dis
turbed by Indian troubles, and the same
year a company, under the command of
Capt. Benjamin Wright, was organized,
and proceeded to Yreka to the Indian
country round Tule lake and the lava
beds. They fought three unsuccessful
battles, the force being insufficient for
the subsection of the Modocs. They re-
turned to Yreka, organized a larger force
and marched again to the Modoc coun-
try. Winter approaching, found the
Modocs' supply of blankets, ammuni-
ton and food extremely limited, conse-
quently the Modocs were anxious for a
cessation of hostilities. In April Capt.
| Wright received the Modocs' overtures
with great cordiality. A peace confer
ence was agreed upon, and a place APP
pointed in the immediate vicinity of the
1AobOSetC1C. LIN COulCICnCC l1OU, COlSlSU-
ing of about twenty-five Indians and
thirty white men. While discussing
the terms, Wright gave the men a sig
nal, and in a moment they killed eight
cen Modocs, only seven escaped. Thus
persisted the fathers Of the present Mo
docs. Capt. Jack was her 8 years old
and Schonchin 10. It is probable re-
venge grew with age, eliminating in the
Candy and Thomas massacre. Some
years after Wright was appointed In
dian agent on Rogue river. One night
a Modoc chief named Enos murdered
and horribly mutilated Wright's body.
Chief Enos was afterward captured and
hanged. He died exulting that he had
wreaked vengeance on the leader of the
massacre of his murdered tribe"
ANOTHER I TO HI FOREGOING STORY.
Those people who have such tender
sympathies for Indians, especially for
Modocs, are just now seeking to excul-
pate them for their treacherous murder
of Gen. Candy by the assertion that they
learned their treachery of the whites
n Capt. Wright, some years since,
having murdered a party of Modocs
while having al interview with them IN
der pretense Of friendship. The facts
in the case, however, afford little com
fort fo~ the sentimentalists. The Mo-
docs, two days before they were killed,
had massacred a party Of emigrants in
cold blood. Capt. Wright overtoob
them about shutdown, and the NIodocs
proposed to hold a council of peace, tc
which he agreed in good faith, the
council to be held in the morning. Dur.
ing the night, however, one of his scouts
crawled into the Modoc camp and over
heard the chiefs planning to attack sud
denly the whites, after they had taker
seats in the council, and murder them.
Capt. Wright anticipated them, attacked
them before daylight, and happily dis.
posed of them. SO much for the Modoc
yarn. The idea of an Indians learning
treachery of the whites is too absurd t.
be entertained by any one who is not {
blockhead. Those who pin their faitl
to such a story should read the nara
tives of the massacre at Detroit and For
Mackinac, and the Fort Dearborn slaugh
ter in Chicago.-Chicdgo Tribune.

Bubbles.

Blowing bubbles-what fun it is! Can
anything be prettier than those fairy
balloons, tinged with rainbow colors, as
they float away in the sunlight? And
we shall have to confess that, big as we
are, we never see a group of children
with their pipes and their soapsuds
without wanting to go and help them
without al aching to get the pipe into
our own hands and to send some of
those tiny globes soaring off into space
on our own account. The only draw
back to this sport is that the bubbles SO
soon break. But by using the follow
ing simple mixture, which any older sis
ter can prepare for the little ones, it is
said that they will last much longer
than when made in the old way:
Dissolve a quarter of an ounce of cas-
tile or oil soap, cut up in small pieces,
IN three-quarters of a pint of water, and
boil for two or three minutes; then add
five ounces of glycerine. When cold
this fluid will produce the best and
most lasting bubbles that can be blown.

Statement of an Eye-Witness-The Scene
Under the Waters.

jacob Armstrong, a young man who went
Town with the bridge, but escaped By being
penned between the falling lattice rods sepa-
rating the roadway from the sidewalk, thus
relates his experience: 81 was on the center
of the span between the abutment and the
shore when the bridge went down. As the
whole thing went under water a woman fell on
me, and some one caught hold of me. Just
then the sidewalk gave way and l slipped
through. The iron railing had gone lower
dow than the wooden sidewalk, and as l
fell through the sidewalk / struck the rail
ing. There was a little space of three feet in
size, through which I managed to crawl, and
thus got beyond the iron-work. This is what
saved my life, for the trellis-work of iron rods
fell over and crushed many of the people. SO
that they could not get free. l had kept nv
breath as I fell, and also had my eyes open
at the time. / saw a fearful sight as I was
struggling. Under water there were women
and children and some men. all STRIVING to
clutch hold of something to save themselves.
Some were held tight between the fallen iron.
and could not free themselves others had
got clear and were frantically wrestling with
death. They looked like dark objects wrestling
about. Some poor fellow got hold of me,
and would have dragged me down, only j
managed to get free and began striking out
with my right hand, For some time I could
make no progress. I swan a little way and
tried to touch bottom, but could not. I goi
into a big hole that is just there, and sank,
At rising again / saw a woman drowning, ap
parently going down for the last time. Iswam
to her and pulled her out. A man in a boat
took her. l do not know who she was. There
was a man named kendville, who had lost his
