November, owing to the breaking OF
some Of the machinery, they were en-
abled to run but seven stamps. Thus
crippled, they produced and shipped
$l6, 500 that month. On the frat Of
December they again got the whole
ten stamps into operation, and should
they have ordinary luck. they expect
to clean up at least $25, 900 by the first
day Of January. Their mine Is look

Of first-class milling ore. 1t is prov
ing itself to be one Of the best mines
In the State.

LET Us GIVE AID IF NEEDED.

Spain, In accediag to the demands
Of our Government In the case Of the
virginius, placed herself right before
the world. President CASTELAR, and
the Spanish Cabinet deserve the sup
port OF all lovers Of free government
all who appreciate the blessings con-
ferred by and desire the extension OF
republican institutions. Spain, under
the terms Of the protocol. has agreed
to restore the Virginius, and institute
proceedings against the officers BY
whom the late executions were or
dered aud executed. There seem to
be grave doubts Of her ability to carry
out that part OF her agreement rel
alive to q surrender Of the Virginus.
Public feeling at Havana, where the
Virginius now lies, is represented as
sternly opposed to the terms OF the
protocol, and It Is claimed that II an
attempt Is made to deliver the Vir-
ginlus to our Government, resistance
will be offered BY the Spanish res
idcnts I; the Colonial authorities will
either refuse, or find themselves unable
to carry out the orders Of the Home
Government aud q revolution will en-
sue While we do not apprehend such
results, It Is we'll enough to look them
In the face and make up our decision
as a nation thereon. 10 our mind tho
course to be pursued seems clear
enough. Let Spain attempt to COM
plets her agreement. II resisted and
unable to carry It out, then let the
United States feet at Key West,
Florida, aud In Cuban waters
offer its aid 10 enforce obe-
dience from the Spaniards In Cuba.
We believe the offer would be well
coined BY President CASTELAR, and Cab
met. 1t will not do to let a few hun
dred thousand Latin-Moors slavehold-
ers flaunt in the face OF humanity
and civilization, barbari,ies aud infa-
mics which would have disgraced the
middle ages, without some reparation.
The demands of the Spanish Govern
ment upon Its subjects In Cuba should
b. enforced. II she Is unable to gu
force them, then we, a stronger and
earlier Republic, should help her.
There Is nothing of law or justice or
decency which the barbarous, halted
ucated and brutal Spaniards now ruling
Cuba have not daily outraged for five
years past. We have deprecated a war
with Spain, having confidence In her
President and Ministry. But If she
needs u aid ndoing Justice; In ayeng-
ing insult In the punishment Of those
inhuman brutes who lately perpetra-
ted 4 brutal massacre, insulted the flag
of our Government, aud now defy the
sense Of the whole world, we are In IA
vor Of helping her, even to the extent
of sinking the accursed island and her
brutal government in the waters which
surround her. The inhuman, bull
fighting, slave-whipping, child-mur-
dering authorities who govern that OPP
pressed island should be made to know
that the civilization Of this age con-
dennis them and their helllsh deeds.

sh.ba Nina,

The Sheba mine Is fo6Eihg better
than for some time past, and Hopes are
entertained that the main ledge, dis.
located by a dyke or "cross course
In the old works, has again been found.
At any rate, ore has been discovered
al n greater depth than ever before,
and a. the manner of Its discovery
might be of Interest to p~rospectors, we
we give the particulars: In the early
DAYS Of mining In this county, the
Sheba was one the most prominent
and promising mines In the State, aud
sold readily at from $500 to 500 per
foot. Large bodies. Of ore were de-
yeloped By u tunnel OIL the vein from
the groupings to a considerable dis
lance under ground, from which suf-
ficient ore was extracted to u a ten
stamp mill steadily for several months.
AT this juncture, when feet were high
and everything running smoothly, tie
ledge was intersected by a"cross
course" The superintendent and
Foreman being inexperienced miners,
were at a loss what to do to recover
the ledge. and after spending several
thousand dollars In searching for it.on
the "going 1t blind" system, tho com.
pany, tired OF assessments, suspended
work on the mine. Several years at
forwards the property passed Into 9TH
er hands, and work was resumed In tile
old works. The new company con-
fined their operations exclusively to
extracting ore from stringers and por..
tions Of the main ledge LEFT by the old
company between the tunnel and the
surface, and made 1t pay. Recently,
however, they concluded to DRAMA
shaft sunk by the old company. In the
tunnel, and drift from 1t In the direo-
ton In which the ledge should be be-
yond the "cross course" Accordingly
the shaft was drained aud q drift run
from 1t into the hill, which, at a dis
tance OF twenty five feet, cut a vein OF
excellent ore, supposed to be the ledge
lost In the upper works. Should their
surmises prove correct, 1t Will show
how inexperienced superintendent
aud poor management depreciatc the
value Of mining property ; but whether
the vein discovered In the drift Is the
main ledge or mott It contains sufficient
ore Of a high grade to amply repay the
amount expended In searching for 1t,
and teaches n lesson which p]rOSpectors
should remember that Is, when a
shaft Is sunk to find H le,lge, and falls
to do so. always drift from 1t before
you abandon 1t. The niue Is In charge
OF Peter Wo0lcock. to whose miuing

OK Thursday last a very important
resolution wal offered In the House Of

will tend to somewhat settle the ques-
ton Of the constitutionality or propri-

and canals. The resolution iustructs
the Committee on judiciary to inquire
whether Congress has constitutional
authority to create corporations for
constructing railroads or canals pene-
trailing two or more States, aud wheth-
or 1t has authority to regulate the rates
Of railroad transportation Of existing

1fany thing more were necessary to
convince the incredulous that the Lib
eral Republicans of last year cannot
aud will not be forced Into the Demo-
cratic ranks, the recent action of Sem
ators Sumner, Schurz and F%enton, pro-
nounced and avowsd opponents Of
Grant last year, should be satisfactory.
The Republican Caucus Committee on
assignments to standing committees
OF the Senate, agreed to appoint these
Senators to positions on such commit
tees II they would accept designation
as Republicans. They were inter-
viewed by the committee and each ex-
pressed himself in favor Of such assign
ment. The result Is that each one Of
the Senators named occupies a place
on two standing committees, not as a
Democrat but as a Republican. IL
this consideration and concession to
honest conviction had been manifested
by Republicans In the Senate two
years ago. there would have been no
Liberal Republican party. Our SEN
ate Is evidently learning something.
