San Francisco Call: One of the Senate
amendments to the Silver bill that passed
provided for the issue of notes based on
the deposits of silver coin. Thus, per-
son depositing ten dollars or upwards OF
silver dollars at the Office named in the
bill would receive notes for the same,
redeemsble in silver dollars. Senator
Cockrill of Missouri has introduced an
other bill, authorizing the deposit of
silver bullion and silver bars and the
issue of certificates therefor. These
| certificates are made receivable at par
for duties, and may be exchanged for
silver dollars or United States notes
at any United States Treasury or Sub
Treasury The object of the bill is to
launch silver upon the country faster
than it can be coined. The bill JUS
passed limits the amount of silver that
may be coined in year to $4S, 5000, 900,
and 1t is not expected that more than
about $36. 600. 900 will be coined. But
there is no limit to the amount Of silver
certificates that could be launched upon
the country under the bill of Senator
Cockrill. Silver bullion can be run into
bars and stamped so as to furnish a basis
for certificates by the million dollars.
These certificates being payable to
bearer, will be money to all intents and
purposes, and will, to the extent of their
issue, constitute the imitation of the cur.
rency, if it should become law.
Enterprise: B. r. Williams, engineer
at the Gould & Curry, has invented an
apparatus to .prevsnt over"winding, which
appears to be about what is required,
BY means of screw attached to the reel
on which the cable is wound, it acts
upon the engine itself by means of
valve in the exhaust pipe, which is grad
ually closed. The valve begins to close
when the cage is yet twenty or thirty
feet below the surface, and brings
1t to a stand at the points OF the
guides The same machine also guards
against stopping places in going down,
and makes it impossible to lower Gage
upon men at work in bottom of shaft.
| Ward Reflex: The miners employed
in the Paymaster became excited Tues
day on learning that Tim Finnegan had
been captured and brought into town
The report reached them that there were
going to be hanging scrape, sure, and
and all quit work in order to witness tn
performance. This had tendency to
excite others, and for a time things
looked quite squslly for Finn4gan, nor
was all doubt removed until next day,
when the prisoner was started for Hamil-
ton under a strong guard.
