Organize. Do not be scared at the cry
of secret organization there is nothing
in it. When bank directors and off
cials meet in some back rooE there is
secret meeting, and it never is for
the promotion Of the farmers interest.
When lawyers congregate there is a
secret meeting; you cannot lind out
what they are at. Are farmers to be
scared by the talk of secret meetings.
The farmers never meet TO consult
about their business with one another,
and yet they are the fathers of the
good morals, brains and money Of the
country. 1t is because of his isolated
condition, or living apart from neigh
bors, that he is SO powerless. He the
greatest power in the land is the least
powerful. Look at the organizations
of every interest in the country, and
their published rules aud regulations
for the government of business. Ii
the secret organization is thorn in the
flesh, organize and hold meeting once
month IN every town6hip-once a
week Hould be bet.er-without any
secresy about 1t; let th6re be some
kind of organization. Coming together
once a week, or once a month, will
make your children more contented, and
by and by they will feel their power.
1t is the association of other interests
that causes the sons of so many farmers
to leave the farms. 1t is too bad that
the lands of the pioneers have almost
entirely passed into the hands of other
men, and that the sons of the original
owners have become the tenants, but
such is the fact in a majority of cases.

Notwithstanding the number of pro-

conviction of these gentry under the

denouncing the loafers and their acts,
very few people are willing to go on
the stand and testify in such cases,
and for That reason our officers are
powerless, and cannot enforce the law.
The class that are idling around town
at tho present time, are, with few eX-
ceptions, men who would not work if
the opportunity was given them. We
witnessed a cast in point yesterday.
a number OF extra laboreTs were
needed to unload some ears at the de-
pot, and at least a dozen of men who
were sitting around the corners were
approached and offered "A couple of
days job. In every instance the work
was declined, n the men turned up
their noses at the proffered employ
ment. AS a consequence, the cars
went unloaded, while the idlers

with the restaurant keepers for a meal
to keep them from starving. of
course, there are a number ofdeserving
and industrious laborers in and around
Eureka who are unemployed, but the
majority of the working population
have found steady employment in the
last month. and, unless we have an
unusual influx OF miners and others
in the next few weeks, there will be
very few idle men in the community
after the LIST Of October.

MINING ITEMS.

Ore shipments from the Bald Eagle
mine have ceased until such time as
tie levels can be connected by air
drifts. Work on the latter is being
vigorously prosecuted. and will be
finished in a very short time.
Good work is being done on the Sat
telite mine, and the two compartment
shafts is attaining depth rapidly.
At the jefferson, the prospecting
shaft is down 40 feet, and will be con-
tinued until the value of the location
is fully demonstrated. In our judg-
ment. it is n of the most promising
locations on the lode.
Work of extracting ore at the Meta
mOras mine will be resumed as soon
as the new machinery is in place.
Workmen swarm at the new furnace,
and the structure will be completed by
the 10th of October.
The south drift. in the new shaft. at
the HoosAc Is making good Roadway,
and will soon reach h east wall.
The pump from the Pancake mine
has been put in complete order. aud

70 as the pump station OF the 450;
too level can be cut out Work will be
commenced as soou as Superintendent
shaw arrives from San Francisco.
Regular ore shipments from the
Richmond mine to the reduction works
continue.
The switch to the Jackson mine is
completed and the ore dump will be
finished by Saturday next.
There have been some very encour-
aging developments met with in the
new shaft at the Rescue mine, in Sill
verado District.
The Connolly mine is looking splen-
didly. Manager Potter informs us that
the ore bodies are coming In very
strong and are of a high grade.
The extension of the main shaft al
the Hamburg, a further depth of 100
feet, will soon be finished. and the
connections with the 400-foot level will
soon follow.
