The Leading Papers of England on the
Situation.
London Dec. 19.-The Posts leading
editorial foreshadows grant for military
prepar atoms, and after reviewing the rumore
which have been current oflate concerning
a separate arrangement between Rnssia and
Turkey, says: To make England's words
heard, to make mediation respected or In
tervention effective, it is necessary to appeal
to the representatives of the nation for re-
quisite support. We cannot entertain the
slightest doubt that parliament will not only
readily accord whatever moneys are necees-
ary to put the national strength in condit-
ion for active efficiency, but will heartily
lndorse the policy in accordance with the
true interests OF permanent peace and the
noblest traditions of the country. 1t is GER
tain the cabinet is united in the resolve, and
with the opening Of the new year we shall
witness the inception of clear and national
policy.
The Standard in its leader explains that
the victory of the Russians is not the cause
of summoning parliament, but the license
which is given to Russia by Germany and
Austria to use the victory in her own way.
This is what constitutes the danger to Brit
ish interests; England can never consent
to the quarrel being arranged on these terms.
She may even have cause to demur to 4
peace made directly between the belliper-
ents, but she claims voice in the settle.

insist upon that voice that the government
is adopting those measures which parlia-

ance being attached to the early sunmoninp
of parliament and points to numerous in.
stances in which the cabinets actions have
been misinterpreted, even by their own
supporters. as for instance the sending of q
feet to Besika Bay. If any previous cabi.
net had summoned parliament thus early
the natural inference would have been that
they were about to demand grant of
money for the support of some step taken
by the queen on the advice of her minis-
ters. The Times thinks such q conclusion
In this case would be far in advance of the
truth. Parliament will not meet to enforce

ministers, but more probably to snare the
ministers the trouble of forming a resolu-
tion. By the time parliament meets the
government will perhaps be able to show
that our interests are in some way attacked.

THE ORE PRoDUCTIoN.

There are now thirty.eight mills in oper-
alton in the Deadwood vicinity, aegregating
six hundred and five stamps, each with an
average capacity of one and half tons Of
ore per day, or nine hundred and seven tons
altogether. Ore yields an average of SIP
per ton, or total Of $lO,ss4 each day. AT
this rate land I consider the estimate a
minimum(, the yield for a year would be
$3,SlS000. OF course, we cannot compute
the yield of the past year by any such state
ment as the above. for the simple reason
that none of the mills have been established
over ten months, and many
of them are scarcely under way yet.
But q carefully prepared table showing the
date of establishment of each mill and their
actual running time, enables me to deduce
an average, as follows: STAMPS in opera
ton during the year, one hundred and fifty
one; ore reduced, two hundred and twenty
seven tons per day; Yield (totaD. 1866, 300

in any part of the Union. He says the
Presidents policy is cordially appro we'd

will give the President his en- tire support
and appreciation. Mr.. Stephe ms said he
thought President Hayes had "done more
for the pacification of the country, under
the doctrine of home rule, than Mr.. Til
den could have done had be been inau-
gurated." He thinks the President ought
to appoint representative Southern man
to the vacancy on the bench on U. S.

there. Mr.. Stephens suggested Herschel

son to appoint judge. Mr.. Stephens yes
