Chloride mine increases In rich

large quantities of horn silver. Acer-
tificate OF assay was shown me to-day
by Mr.. Wood Flippin Of ore from this
mine, tested at Salt Lake, showing the
large amount OF $20,266 In silver.
Reese has out abont four tons OF ore
that experts say who have examined it
will mill $1,000. A sever snow
storm has prevailed for the past few
days accompanied by q strong south

lie has materially assisted In getting
up the reports OF the Commission Of
Mining Statistics, but owing to the de-
lays that have attended the printing
and distribution OF these reports, these
carefully prepared and otherwise USE
full publications, have failed to keep
the world duly posted in regard to the
condition aud progress of mining at
fairs on the Pacific Coast, the infornia-
ton conveyed through this medium be-
Ing already mahy months old by the
time ir reaches the eye Of the general
public. With a view to furnishing
fresh intelligence on mining topics.
and bringing the history Of this great
industry down to the most recent date,
DR.. De Groot will, on OF about the
first Of February next. issue a large
octave volume, devoted to a considera-
ton Of mining matters, as they exist
ut the present time. In the States OF
California and Nevada. In the fulfill
ment of this purpose he will At c
visit every important district and To-
cality in these States that has not al
ready been lately examined or heard
from through reliable channels, to the
end that the information embodied In
this volume may be recent and anthem

book with live, practical, and truthful
matter therefore. only such properties
as have been brought to a productive
condition, or as have. through devel-
opments made, established for them
selves a good degree Of actual or pros
pective merit, will receive attention;
nor will any notice be bestowed on
processes or appliances other than such
as have met with approval after e1-
tended working tests. The work will
be printed on the best quality Of paper,
elegantly and substantially bound and
will be n very Important and desirable
acquisition to all who are interested In
this section and its neurological ro-
sources.

Alexander n. Stephens Of Georgia,
recently distinguished himself anew
BY opposing the repeal Of the salary
grab. defending the steal and sdvocat-
ing u still further increase Of pay. Mr..
Stephens Is part owner Of the Atlanta
Constellation, a Democratic paper. and
an influential political organ. A dis
patch says that the last number Of the
Constellation received In Washington
last Friday, the day after Nj. Stephens
speech in Congress, contains a savage
article on the grab" denouncing the
Northern members who took It, and
demanding that they give their votes
for Its repeal. Mr.. Stephens will per-
haps be somewhat surprised to find
himself disappearing the feelings OF
his constituents. but It Is no Less tact
that both he and every apologist for
that infamous theft, whether In Con-
gress or through the public press, not
only m~isrepresents and Insults ms
constituents or readers, but the Amer
lean people.

Brother Parkinson OF the Nevada
Tribune has lately been in Virginia
City and Gold Hill. He returns to
Carson and publishes his opinion on
the political feeling In these places ;
said opinion being that the Granger"
movement under the leadership Of the
Territorial Enterprise has little sup
port. We commend the conclusions
Of the Tribune editor As legitimate and
reliable. There are not twenty
"Grangers" OF the Eaterprise stripe
In the two places named, and not all
the rhetoric which can be belched forth
In the columns OF the Enterprise dur
ing the next twelve months can effect
another conversion. Brother Psrkin-
son Is much In earnest, and In our
opinion very wise In the following
declaration which we clip from tho
Tribune Of Saturday last:

AUSTIN, New. has a musical "katt."
According to the Reuefle, this cater
wauler, whenever the lady Of the
house opens the piano, jumps upon the
instrument during the playing and
marches along the keyboard, keeping
up a constant purring and taking an
occasional look at the wires to e that
the internal arrangements are all right.
When the lady ceases playing the cat
will scratch her hand vigorously, as II
her to continue. The cat has
been tried repeatedly and acts In the
same manner in every instance. The

A short time ago we stated on the
authority Of one who was posted that
Jones had gone to Washington direct
from California. A day or two after
ward upon fully as good authority we
stated that Jones had not gone, but
was coming over to spend the holidays
and enjoy n few weeka' sweet and
quiet repose in the bosom Of his anx'
ious constituency. Next day the Reno
Journal said Jones had passed there OH
his way to Washington. The Carson
Tribune Of Saturday says there Is not
the slightest doubt that Jones Is with
Joe Goodman, at Sacramento, log
rolling for Booth. Yesterday morning
we received a letter from Jones. evil
IDENTIFY written by his Secretary, dated
Washington, d. G., Decd. 1873. Now
the conundrum Is, where Is Jones?

DISSATISFIED

A dispatch to the Alta California
from Washington alleges that ''thsrs
Is considerable dissatisfaction express
ed by some Of the Pacific Coast men,
bers with regard to the committee APP
pointments. They say that their sec
ton has been Ignored on the COM
nittess which will have before them
matters peculiarly pertaining to the
interests Of their constituents. They
particularly mention the Committees
OH Indian Affairs, Land Claims and
Naval Affairs. 1t vas confidently x-
pectsd that Nesmith, Of Oregon, would
be placed on that Of Indian Affairs, on
account Of his thorough knowledge Of
the subject and the vital Importance
Of the Indian question to the people
of his State. 1t was likewise presumed
that Houghton would be assigned TO
that on Land Claims which will have
before It many cases Of great interest
to C%alifornis. L.uttrell. 1t was ex-
pected, would he on the Naval Com.
mittee. His Congressional predeces-
sor was placed upon this Committee.
His colleague thought he had a right
to some position. The Territorial Del
egates express much regret that there
Is no member FROM the Pacific Coast
on the Committee on Indian Affairs,
as this question so particularly affects
their own Interests. They say the
Pacific Coast States aud Territories
embrace much the largest portion OF
the Indian tribes, and the committee
should be composed Of members from
the States Interested In their settle
ment on reservations and In the
prevention Of our constantly re.
curing Indian troubles. As now
constituted, many Of the commit
tee are from the Eastern and other
States, neither OIL or within the In
dian borders, and there are members
who never saw al Indian except rep
reseutatives in the visiting delegations
to Washington. One OF the CON-
mittee is a colored member from South
Carolina. The Territorial Delegates
are making strenuous efforts to obtain
representation on this committee.
which. IL Is thought, will be by the
consent Of the House conceded to
them" We have not heard any
%grumbling among our Democratic
friends about the want OF prominence
given the member from Nevada. The
fact is, he has already made himself
altogether TOO prominent aud that In
a very u~ntavorable manner In the
opinion OF his constituents. We are
not disposed to grieve over any over
slaughing of recalcitrant mis-represeu
tatives.

Members Of the Young Mems Chris
tlan Association have distinguished
themselves In almost every species OF
rascallty, from Congressional Credit
MobilIer to petty forgeries aud defslca-j
lions. Here, however, Is a member OF.
that eminent fraternity who has sought
and found new worlds Of outrage upon
decency to conquer. We find the fol-
lowing in a Washington ID. c. tele.
gram of Saturday last:
George Christian .(whites Charles
Green (colorsdl and Margaret Harrison
we're arrested last night charged with
being body-snatchers. When arrested,
Christian was found to have areyolver
and papers, from which 1t appears he
was formerly a clerk In the Surgeon
Generals office, and that he had been
carrying on an extensive business a. =
body-snatoher for some time. The
dates OF his memoranda show his trans
actions with several medical institl-
lions In Cleveland, Ohio, and Virginia,
extending back for about six inonts.
During that time he must have sent
away several hundred bodies. A re-
cent order from the Institution from
Virginia instructs him to pack the
bodies In whisky barrels. One memo
randum shows that he went to the
potter's field for the body Of Henry
Chung. who was hung. He was dis
appointed by having taken the body Of
another man instead. His books show
that he has taken bodies from almost
every cemetery 10 this District. The
Virginia University and the medical
departments of college, here have been
his best customers. His diary contains
entries for every day in the year, from
which 1t appears he had been attend
ing medical lectures. The correspond
snce shows that his demand for $40
per corpse was considered too much.
Some Of his customers thought $50
ought to satisfy him. In his pocket
was also found a card Of membership

old Democratic county. 1t has always
been relied upon by the unterrlfied

memorial 1t has been In the hands OF
the Democrats. Yet Investigations
show that for ten years past every
county officer has appropriated his per
centagc Of the public funds as regu-
larly as he has drawn his salary. A
reform movement would seem to be
in order In Butler county. Some OF
tho leading Democratic ex-officials
who have lost the confidence OF Butler

these Investigations should start a new

lucky and the management Of the GIFT Concert
announce the postponement Of the Fourth GIT
Concert until Tuesday. the 3lst Of March ncIt.
The public will readily understand the causes
which have made this postponement necessary.
The financial panic which has Tor the last two
months paralyzed tho business Of every section
q this country and Of Europe has prevented
Thousands from investing In tickets. The cpl.
spidsmics psrvaaing almost the entire South

have declined 10 invest without . more positive
assurance Of the drawing taking place on q

Ali interested desire . full drawing, but for
the reasons Just stated this could not ne had on
the Sd Of December. but the short postpone.
ment now announced will secure 1t.
The management have NIT with unprecedent.
ed success. The sales Of tickets, the proceeds
Of which have alresdy been received, amount
to OVER A MILLION DOLLARS, with q number OF
agencies in this country yet to hear from, and
all those In Europe.
Thus q drawing (scaling the gifts one'halD

best to have a posiponement and a(uR drdiing.
This postponement assures tie sale Of all Tie
Tickets and A FULL DRAWING. That this de

by tho very numerous letters received from ev-
