Last Tuesday morning, as the cage

the Ophir mine in Virginia City was
about 80 feet from the surface, it

direction of Louis La Page, is already
made up. 1t will require about $751;

sum, it is expected, will soon be con-
tributed by "a number of gentlemen
living in Virginia City. Flattering re-
potts of the richness of the country to
be prospected have been received
from parties who have been there, and
those engaged in the enterprise are
confident of making valuable discov-
cries.
At a meeting of the Executive Com

MERCHANTS PROTECTIVE AssO.
CATION.

MERCHANTS PROTECTIVE ASSO.
CATION.
The american Grocer gives detailed
account of the formation of a rev asso-
citation, in Auburn, New York, known
as the Merchants Protective Associa-
ton, having for its object the protec-
ton of retail dealers from the imposi-
tons of ''dead BEATS" or non-paying
something upon the Hotel, Restaurant
and Boarding house Keepers Associa-
ton of Gold Hill and Virginia. Each
member of the society, no matter in
what branch of mercantile business he
is engaged, is obliged to present to the
society the names of all delinquent
debtors, the amount which they owe,
and, if possible, their residences and
the trade or occupation which they
those who fail to pay after sufficient
time has been given them, or those
who have a chronic propensity to new
er pay the bills they contract. These
names are published in pamphlet
form in alphabetical order, and each
member is furnished with a copy.
Printed notifications to delinquent
debtors are also supplied 10 members,
who send them to parties owing bills,
and being in the name of the soci-
ETY., are sufficient warning to such par
ties that unless they arrange. in some
way, the settlement of the claims
against them, their names will be
handed in as additions to the black
list, which bill deprives them
of credit from any member of
the association. We agree with the
Grocer that every town and city in
the United States should organize such
an association. The matter was sug-
gested to US by a prominent merchant in
this town, who assured us that in no
| place on the coast is such an organiza-
ton more needed than in Eureka,
where probably a greater percentage
of bad debts have heretofore been
made by the merchants than in any
town of its size on the Pacific slope.
To honest men DESTROYS of pay ing their
debts, such society would bea benefit,
for it would enable the dealer to sell
his goods at less rates when not obliged
to allow a margin of from three to ten
per cent as an insurance fund against
losses from delinquent customers.
Paying customers would only be
obliged to pay for their " goods in
stead of also being charged with their
proportion of the losses sustained by
| the merchant from dishonest purcias-
ers. The honest man needing woald
also be benefited IS there: would be
less distrust among dealers i'll regard
t o granting credit when they are as
sufed that they are only taking chances
of inability to pay instead of the
double risk of inability and dishon-
esty. The subject is worthy of the
serious consideration of our merchants,
and we are confident that the organi-
zation OF such an association would
inure to their benefit as well rs to the
benefit of their desirable customers.

non-payment of the revenue taxes was
filed yesterday by the United States
District Attorney against the Union
Copper Distillery, at Calumet. All
distilleries at Milwaukee released
on giving bonds, by order of the U. S.
Circuit Court, were to-day suspended
by orders from Washington, until new
bonds can be issu ed; the old bonds
having been forfeited by the first seiz-
ure. The distillers held a meeting last
evening and telegraphed the distillers
of Chicago, Cincinnati and st. Louis,
asking them to join in the expense of
prosecuting suit against the Govern
ment and contesting the constitutional

NTginla, for, as those departments of the
Exhibitisn which viii contain displays of the
minerals, woods and other natural products
from different parts of our country. will be
critically examined by all who may be con-
cerned in the problems of immigration and
the investment of capital, our own State surely
cannot afford to neglect such an opportunity
to make known TO the world the extent and
variety of those unwrought resources with
which she is so richly endowed, and upon the
development of which her prosperity depends
International Exhibitions being now so
universally recogized by the common sense of
the l9:h century as among the most effective
means for promoting the substantial Interests
OF those countries where they are held, it was
confidently expected that some provision for
suitable display of the States resources and
industries at the approaching Exhibition
would have been made by our last Legislature
The governor brought the subject to the at
tention of its members in his annual message,
and, subsequently,, in special communities
tion but no definite action was had by them
in regard to it, aud you are aware that the
time and attention of the present Legislature
was too much. .engrossed, at It's recent session,
by other and more exciting matters to admit
of its consideration. OF course it will not do
to wait, with folded hands, for the re.assem-
bling of the Legislature in November next,
and then incur the risk of another disappoint>
ment.
So, in this emergency, the undersigned,
United States Centennial Commissioners for
West Virginia, appreciatiug the respohsibili.
ties which rest upon them, and feeling that
failure on the part of our State to secure
proper representation of its natural and arti>
icial productions in time for the Exhibition,

ly appeal to you, our fellow citizens thruush>
out the State, to give US the benefit of your
counsel and cooperation. We hnvo done and
will continue to do everything in our power
to meet the requirements Of the onerous duties
we have assumed, but it must be apparent to
you all that our individual efforts cannot &C.
complish what is essential to be done without
the active aid Of our fellow citizens.
Therefore, we take the liberty of suggest
ing that meetings be held in june next Zone
in each of the three Congressional districts OF
the State, at Charleston, Wheeling and Mar.
