OUR MINES.
MEADOW VALLEY.


We visited the works Of No. 3 Thurs
day for the purpose of seeing what was
being done there. The Meadow Valley
mill is now turning out so much bullion
per month that it is commencing to ex.
cite considerable interest both here and
below. The hoisting.works at No. 8
have been cleaned up. the woodwork
painted and the engine placed in excel
lent running order. which is under the
care Of o. X. Wescoatt. engineer. who,
to facilitate the work OF hosting, has
added dial marking the different sta.
tons in the mine. We observed that
fine ore. mixed with waste. was being
hoisted from the Cd. 4th and It'll levels,
run into the ore-house, and there
dumped on coarse screen, under which
il finer screen. The fine ore and dirt
goes through the lower screen, while the
heavy rock and waste slides from the top
screen into anothsr car OIL the outside,
and by it is conveyed to the dump. The
fine stuff is shipped to the mill and pulps
from $50 to $50 per ton, while the heavy
and waste is picked over. This picked
ore is not obtained in large quantities,
but what is saved will go 5000 per ton.
About IL tons OF this mixed ore and
waste is hoisted daily. This ore. after
being crushed at the mill. is mixed with
the tailings and worked together, by
which process more silver is saved from
both than by working them separate.
This screening business was recently run
by Jno. r James, who made quite a
success of it The company, however,
has taken charge of this business since
the first OF June. and through its aid and

that it will not be many months before
the indebtedness of the pumping ma.
ohinery will be paid of.

II FAITHFUL MENTOR.

When the SUNDAY GLOBE assumed the du-
ty of Mentor of the Christian church it did
so with full realization of the responsible
ties of the position, and a knowledge of the
difficulties and distractions it would encoun-
ter in its path. It knew how sensitive the
churches were to criticism, and that even the
most friendly structures upon their conduct
would be construed into an attack upon re-
ligion. 1t knew that there is no appreciable
distinction among church members as class
between their bigotry and their religion, and
that denunciation of bigotry would be mis-
conceived and attributed to hostility to that
true religion which is taught by the scrip
lures and enjoined by the moral law which
is inherent in mankind. It knew that the
vices and prejudices of the church are more
dearly loved than its virtues, simply because
they are indefensible. Knowing all these
facts, the SUNDAY GLOBE has not been de-
tered from performing its duty as conser-
vator of the morals of the church. It has
been met with misrepresentation and mig
conception, but its soicitude for the welfare
of true religion has been its buckler and its
shield.
The question has been asked Why does

FROM an article elsewhere quoted it would
appear that Elizabeth is about to take the
lecture field and follow like an avsnging
Nemesis upon Beecher's track OF course
the library associations and other organiza-

also, as matter of justice, desire to secure
Elizabeth, his victim. All their thoughts

The good people who attend upon the holy

Il chance for the Library association. to Sc
care a band to totto,c IN Beecher's Wake.
IN. Y. Sun, July 25.l
Lately story has been whispered about
among Plymouth Church members and else
where in Brooklyn society that Mrs. Tilton was
to go on the lecture platform. The story is
that this had been suggested or at least sane
toned by Theodore before his departure for
Europe, and that he had even written lecture
entitled " Woman's Fall for her to deliver. 1t
was added that she contemplated following Mr..
Beecher in his lecture tour, speaking in the
places he did the night after his departure.
Mrs. Tlltons friends, it was said, were urging
her to lecture as the easiest method of support
ing herself and her children, and the only way
of Fighting herself before the public L1ttl e
credence was given to the rumor, but it made
much talk nevertheless.
A reporter of The Sun was yesterday advise
by gentleman who insisted on it's truthful
ness to call on Mr.. j. 81. Fox, 112 West Four
tenth street, who, he said. had made a hand
some offer to Mrs. Tilton.
MIR. Fox is an Englishman who has himself
been in the lecture field, and has also been a
journalist. He said he regretted that the
scheme should be made public at this time.
though it could probably do little harm. The
fact was, he said, he had heard incidentally
from friends of Mrs. Tilton that she was con-
templating the possibility of lecturing. The
would be a good business venture. As soon as
he heard of it, he had made Mrs. Tilton an
offer of 800 night and trayelin- expenses
for herself and such companions and she should
choose to have with her. He had received a
reply, but it was not decisive. Mrs Tilton
doubted whether she had physical strength to
undergo the fatigue. His friends had no doubt
Of her mental strength. The reply concluded
by saying that for the present she would hold
the proposition under advisement. Mr.. Fox
believed she would accept, because he knew she
had been advised by her friends to lecture, and
his offer was a good one to her, though an en-
tirely safe one for himself. He had not heard
that she had ever practiced elecution but he
told that Mr.. Tilton had written the lecture
s'Woman's Fall,' or at least had suggested the
subject, but he had no knowledge about that
nor about the rumored proposition to follow
Mr. Beecher on his lecture tour. If she accept
ed his offer she might lecture wherever She
chose to do So

the SUNDAY GLOBE lay such stress-can such
attention to the abuses of religion? Why
does it not bring into prominence
churches, instead of denouncing
the vices which cling to professors of re-
Ggion? The answer is: The mission of the
SUNDAY GLOBE is not to call the righteous
but sinners to repentance. We would not
detract from the usefulness of the church or
belittle its great mission, but we demand
that the walk and conversation of its mem
bers shall comport with their professions.
We demand that instead of possessing the
Christian graces only for exhibition on
special occasions they possess them for
daily use; that hypocrisy shall be driven
out of the congregation of the Lord; that
charity take the place of illiberality; that
honesty be regarded as a greater honor than
dishonesty; that tolerance be esteemed yir-
tue rather than crime: that humility shall
take the place of arrogance, pride and sim
full love of display. We would correct the
faults of the church in friendly spirit, with
view to increasing it's usefulness, not to
bring reproach upon it. AS father chasteneth
his children, SO does the SUNDAY GLOBE chas-
ten the church, because of the great love
it bears towards it.
We are not surprised that our efforts have
thus far been productive of but few results.
Great reforms move slowly, and we can only
look for success through persistent effort
and constant care. Nor are we surprised
that our well-meant criticisms have not been
received in proper spirit by some of those
for whose benefit they were intended, for
mo Christening for the present seemeth to
be joyous, but grieyious; nevertheless, after
ward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit
OF righteousness to them that
are exercised thereby Therefore, with the
sole and sincere purpose of purging the church
OF those sins that make of it a Kissing and a
by-word among men, of exposing to the
scorching rays of public sentiment the hy-
pocrisy, the malice, the uncharity that SO
seriously hinder the progress of true religion,
the SUNDAY GLOBE will pursue its course un-
daunted, commencing where truth will per-
NIT of commentators, and criticising and
Christening where such course shall seem to
be necessary. 1t expects to tread on some
body's corns and to provoke resentment, but
nevertheless, will not swerve from its high
purpose. The church needs the application
of the thong, and the SUNDAY GLOBE will
not shrink from welding it. The only way
to escape chastisement is for the church
members to make their practice conform to
their profession. Then the GLOBE will be
as hearty to commend as it is to criticise.

This speaks we'll for the moral sense of the

can then be made up. Bring on 'Lize.
