EXTRACTS FROM A LETTER.

The following extracts ara taken from
letter which was published in the Vir-
ginia Enterprise Of the 18th, and al
though rather highly colored in several
instances, contained many facts:
PIoCnE, August IL Your correspond
ent yesterday visited the Raymond d
Ely, in company with Fl. FL. Day, the
unassuming and polite superintendent
of this mine, and, without flattery, l
wish to say right here that l believe
Captain Day to DO the best and most
able mining superintendent in Nevada
to-day. Captain Day has done more
for Phoebe, and has taken out more
wealth from the mines that he has, at
different times. had charge of than any
other man, from Hoffman, the first
superintendent of the Meadow Valley,
in 1869, to the present The Raymond
& Ely Mining Company, have more
facilities for the working of their mines
than any other company in Nevada.
They have their own machine shop, with
all the latest improved machinery, which
is under the supervision of Sam. Stod-
dard, assisted by Professor S. l.. Dow.
ALPS SILVER MINING COMPANY
This company own the Alps, Wash
ington and Creole and Mazeppa mines,
and also the Floral mill, located ut this
place, and are the lessees of the Chicago
mill, located at Bullionville. l am in
debted to the superintendent for the fol-
lowing items appertaining to the COM
pany: The company's Chicago mill is
running TO its fullest capacity on ores
from the Mazeppa and Washington and
Creole mines, twenty-five tons being re-
duced daily. The Superintendent. re-

The MEADOW VALLEY MINE.
This company have their new hosting
works completed. The building is 120
x60 feet. Double hosting engines, OF
immense power, With two sets of boilers,
all complete. A portion of the pump
ing machinery is on the ground and
every one is hoping the next election of
officers will make some change for the
better, for with the Meadow Valley and
The Raymond Ely pumps both at work
the mines would be booming. for it is a
solid fact that they have plenty of ore in

A VERY BIG SNAKE STORY.

GREAT BEND, August A singular
discovery has just been made in the
mountains, six miles southwest of this
place. A party Of berry pickrrs, num-
bering sixteen, while passing through
the mountains near Susquehanna station,
on the line OF the Erie Railway, on
Saturday afternoon last, had their atten-
ton directed to small clump of bushes,
near where they were picking berries,
by the fierce barking of dog which &C.
companied them. Two of the party,
George Brink and Joseph Hilferty, went
to see what the matter was. As they
ueared the dog. it barked more furiously.
Walking cautiously on, they were star
tied by loud and continuous rafting,
which at once suggested rattlesnakes.
They did not go any further, but, mark
ing the spot, returned and informed the
company. The rest of the gentlemen,
four in number, each SEEING a club.
followed Brink and Hiferty into the
thicket. The dog was still in the same
place, barking turiously. Club IN hand,
the six descended small declivity, near
the bottom Of which they saw terrible
picture. Lying on the stones and sticks
were hundreds of large rattlesnakes,
cooled and rafting fercely.
The men not caring to approach too
near, began stoning the reptiles at a
distance. They succeeded in killing 80,
the rest, thought to have been several
hundred, making their escape into the
rocks and underbrush. The rafting
having ceased, the victors walked up to
where the dead snakes lay, where, to
their establishment, they deserted the
dead body Of a man, apparently 40 years
of age, lying with his face downward,
between stones and broken limbs OF
trees. He had undoubtedly wandered
into the den. Upon inquiry it was as.
certained that crippled tramp had
passed through the neighborhood some
weeks ago.

The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1877-04-23
From ne Chlcaqo Journal.

THE Rock ISLAND ARGUS suggests that
in view of the discouraging circumstances
attending the erection of the new Illinois
state house at Springfield, it should be
taken down, the material removed to
Chicago, and re-erected into a structure
suitable for the purpose of Capitol. The
arguments in favor of this change are alb
surd, as a whole, because the proposition
itself is. On one point it says:
Springfield promised to aid in furnishing certain
grounds and other aid for the new house, and
Springfield has meanly sneaked out of her promise,
stolen her contract and pleads baby The result Is
that side of the house the state has no
ground-not even enough for porch!
Of course what is said in regard to the
social, political, business, railroad, tele-
graphic and other advantages of Chicago
over Springfield for capital city, is trne
IN fact and cannot be disputed; but if
Springfield does not object to the change,
we are not so sure about our own citizens.
What with our park rings, hummer
cliques, corner loafers, small potato politi-
clans, divorce lawyers. etc., we can get
along without the Legislature. even if it is
run" by the Cook delegation.

Nine-tenths of the Republicans don t

other leading New York Democrats were
ALWAYS opponents of Tweed and always
fought him and his ring. Tlden could
never be elected delegate to state con

Tweed ruled the roost there-but he
was always chosen from his old home in
the country. The Young Democracy,
in 1870, under Tilden's lead, got control OF
a majority Of the general committee and
called meeting Of the committee at Tam
many hall for the purpose of dethronlng
Tweed and recognizing the committee.
Tweed came down from the state senate

q. Change of Tune.

We hardly expect our readers to believe
it, but the following extract is actually
taken from the editorial columns of that
staunch Republican organ, the Chicago
Times
Military force is not decision of law
Armies are not legislatures to make laws,
nor courts to try cases. The business of
sOldiery is to kill and destroy. The troops,
when ordered, are to kill all who oppose
them: destroy all that obstructs their
path They decide no questions of law,
nor titles to Office or property, The gov
eminent which has existed in Louisiana
since 1865 has been a government mair-
tanned by federal troops, whose business
it is to kill all who opposed it. Govern
ments like it were put in Office and kept
in office by armed force in other southern
sta,es, and the moment the troops were
withdrawn the governors ran away, and
other governments, accepted and sup
ported by the popular strength, were
erected 10 their places. One day il
Louisiana, couple of years ago, the fed
eral troops happened to be absent or of
guard and Kellogg's government tOppleC
over and upset, as nobody supported il
except some helpless, non-resistant blacks
and Kellogg, who is now in Washington
blowing ike porpoise. Well, he ran of
and hid himself in the vaults Of the gov
ernment warehouse iG New Orleans anC
remained there until the federal troop,
could be got back there under orders t,
kill all who should oppose the reinstate
ment of Kellogg and his carpet bag gov
ernment."

We'll Do2e, Springer.

From The Petersburg, Ill.,, Democrat
Mondays dispatches from Washington
heralded the gratifying Intelligence that
the supreme court of the United States
had decided what is known as the centeu-
NAL case in favor OF the government. The
case in question involved the construction
of the amendment which Hon. VIM. NJ
Springer, OF this district, proposed and
succeeded in attaching to the centennial
appropriation bill, which amendment pro-
vlded that the 81 $780, 900 appropriated by
congress should be repaid to the United
States before any dividend should be made
to the stockholders of the company. The
centennial exhibition over, as every one
expected, the greedy commissioners set
about cOntestlug the matter of returning
the 81 100000 loan of the government.
MIR. Springer, at the close of the late SEES
sion of congress, remained in Washington
to defend the cause OF the people of the
United States versus the greedy cormo-
rants OF the centennial commission, and
the case had a hearing last week before the
highest national tribunal, Mr.. Springer
made the hight on the proposition asserted
IN his original amendment that is, that
the United States should be repaid before
any dividend, either of profit or stock, and
his argument before the court was able
and exhaustive. y Copgratulatorv
kilograms have poured in upon Mr..
Springer, at Springfield, during the week
from all parts Of the country-irom friends
who have watched his gallant bearing, and
never for moment doubted that he would
u!tlmatel ~ win his cause and thus compel
h MS traducers to quaf the cup of gall.

ever, needed not this additional evidence
OF Mr.. opringer's splendid energies aud
honesty OF purpose. Here he has been
