THE TICKET.-We give on our first page
the proceedings of the Democratic Kent
County Convention and the ticket put
forth for the suffrages of the county The
matter attracts, however, much less atten.
ton than usual from the fact that there is
no opposition ticket. 1t must necessarily
be campaign fat and barren of purpose,
except the filling of certain offices, and the
interest in these must necessarily grow out
of the emoluments proceeding therefrom.
The present state of affairs does not show
healthy state of the body polite. The
founders of the Republic contemplated a
free and full use of the franchise privilege,
and when this is not the case, the individ-
uals themselves or the laws are at fault.
The ticket is considered q fair one; it
might have been better, but when the
more prominent men refuse to go to repre-
sent us at the capital, the delegates made
possibly the best choice they could of the
names presented by the different Hundreds.
An effort was made in this Hundred, it is
said, to control the selections by certain
new aspirants to leadership whose candi-
dates were not in the best interests of the
people, but some of the elder members of
the party seeing how "crankey" they were
engineering, took the machine in hand
with much better results. The sherifally
was particularly conspicuous. This Hun.
dred was promised it is said in completion
of bargain entered into two years ago tc
elect Harrington, and the parties to the
contract thought they had it ready for de
delivery, but the old leaders put a "head
on them" and the consequence was two
votes were only polled for Harrington
where eight were counted on. Frank NJ
Dunn, who triumphed over this wire pulling
and was nominated on the first ballot, wa
the real choice of the people if we car
form any judgment at all of the public ex
preston. He is said to be capable anC
every way qualified for the Office. Th
ticket in the field has the whole response
bility devolving in this election resting
upon them, and to the bar ofpublic opinion
they must answer for any deviation fron
the right.

Rev. John Laird Will lecture at the

ing, choosing for his subject on that
occasion, 1.-THE Fact of Earth's Changes,
Origin Of Life and Evolution" The
problems presented in the title 3 the
discourse are agitating the master
minds of the world, and engaging the
attention of every one who feels an in
terest in the scientific and theological
aspect of the great questions involved.
The theologians, alarmed at the ten
denotes to which the materialistic doc
trines of the Evolutionists are leading,
have become aroused, and with Cook;
Of Boston, for their leader, are repellinR
their assaults. Mr.. Laird will present
his views. as announced, and we hope
that he will attract d good audience:
The subject is q fascinating one, and
we judge that he will handle it elo-
quentiy, if not convincingly.

Tbe Kemp q Keen.

This il the name of a very excellent
mine situated on the great lode run
ming south from Ruby Hill. 1t is
located directly on the mineral belt,
only a short distance north of the Dun
derburg and Bald Eagle mines. Mark
Kemp and Doctor j. B. Keen are the
proprietors. The claim consists OF
/ 800 feet, running north and south, by
900 feet in width. The mine is being
steadily worked with a force of three
men. The ledge is 41a feet wide, and
splend;dly defined. In fact, we seri-
ously doubt if there is a better defined
lode n the whole district than the
Kemp & Keen. The pitch of the
ledge is to the eastward, just as the
great lode pitches on Ruby Hill, and
the walls are as clearly marked as
those of a house. The main shaft is
down so feet, showing ore the entire
distance. Average assays run from
$50 to $40 per ton. One of much
higher grade is sure to be met with al
greater depth. All in all, this mine
presents one of the most encouraging
prospects to be seen in Eureka Dis
trlct. In fact, we think there can moi
be a doubt about its proving a valua
bile and permanent mine at an early
day. The fortunate are much
elated over their prospects, as they
have a right tc be.

running on high grade ore.
The Christie, Day and Rock Cliff

Smith IL Co., is a good paying mine.
The ores are worked by the Rock Cliff
mill.

in fact, nearly every prospect on the
Reef, is being worked with more or
less profit to the owner.
The Christie Company's mines, the
Tecum>eh, California and Maggie are

plOys about 80 men.
Colonel Wall works about IA men on

On Tuesday last a number of young
boys climbed the hill east of town, and
amused themselves by rolling a lot of
rocks down the mountain side. 1t was
huge fun to them, but came very near
being death to the occupants of some
of the residences on Paul street. A
stone as large as a Stag pot came crash
ing into the rear of Charlie Living
ston's building, demolishing the store
house, and just missing two of his little
sons, who we're playingi in the vicinity.
In fact, they had just left the spot,
when the rock tore through, and their
escape was a very narrow one. The
boys, who are of an age to realize the
results that might have followed their
mischievousness. were brought before
Judge Cromer last evening. and be
read them a lecture on the subject,
After promising better behavior in the
future, they were let off without fur
ther punishment.

The beautiful specimens of mineral
vegetation, the fairy frost-work of the
limestone caves that abound in the
caverns of the Eureka lode, are much
sought after by many persons, and
ornament the parlors and cabinets of
n hundred households in Eureka.
They are magnificent specimens OF
Natures handiwork, and when first
taken out are as handsome as the
fret work of the Ice King. and as
pure in color as q snowflake. Uufor-
tunately they are SO delicate and frail
that the least jar skaters the fern like
formation and destroys it's beauty.
When exposed to the air for any
length of time the clear white fades
into a dirty yellow, and the inter-
stices accumulate dust, which it is
impossible to emove. The only way
of preserving them is to enclose
them in a glass globe, fitting tight
enough TO exclude the air and dirt,
by which means they can be kept in
their original unsullied condition.

FATAL ENCOUNTER AT WARD.
officer Houston shot Through the
Heart and Instantly Killed.

We learn from a gentleman who
came in from Ward last evening. that
a fatal encounter took place Monday
night in a dance house in that town,
between Tim. Finnegan, a well-known
sporting character, and Nels. Houston,
the night Waterman. The difficulty
occurred in frankie Bassett's hurdy
house. Finnegan had been making
considerable noise, and the proprietor
called in Houston to suppress him.
After some talk bad been INDUCED in
about the affair, Finnegan refusing to
be put out, Houston assaulted him
with his club, administering several
severe blows, when Finnegan said to
the officer, eff you strike me again, l
will kill you" Houston bit him again,
when Finnegan drew his revolver and
fired, the ball RAISING through the
officers heart and body, and Afterwards
falling on the floor on the opposite
side of the room. Houston dropped
instantly and never spoke again, and
ceased to breathe in a few moments.
The ARRAY created intense excitement,
and it is feared that Finnegan will be
lynched. A vigilance committee is
supposed to exist at that place, and old
citizens of Ward, now in Eureka, are
of the opinion that they will take the
law into their Own hands. Sheriff
Raum is now at that town, and it may
he possible hat he will remove Finne-
gan to the Hamilton Jail before the
citizens interfere in the matter. Fin
negan is we'll known in Eureka,
having resided here for quite a time.
Nels. Houston is all old timer on the
coast, having immigrated to California
at al early date. He had occupied the
position of night Waterman at Ward
for over a year, and was an efficient
officer and we'll liked by the citizens of
that town. 1t will he remembered that
while in the performance of his duty,
he killed Frank Kerns some eight
months ago.

Take Your Choice.

In the matter of the County Com.
missionership, 1t was the settled idea
in the community yesterday that the
fight had narrowed down to Sadler and
Gillen, with the chances about even
between them. Acting Governor
Adams letter to Mr.. Sadler seemed to
be a clincber in his favor, but Mr..
Gillen had the positive verbal assur.
ance from our Lieutenant Governor,
while en route from San Francisco on
the cars, that he should have the place
if he (Adams) had the appointing
power. 1t is one of those cases where
you pays your money and takes your
choice.

Silver.

The future of silver coinage, and the
effect that it will have upon trade, is
the subject of much lively discussion
here. 1t is admitted that ii will have a
most beneficial influence on us as pro-
ducers of that metal, and will probably
enhance the value of silver sufficiently
to set off the loss entaiied by the de
preston in the price of lead. The
banks have taken no action as yet in
regard to the new coin. and will not
until it into general circulation.
Until that time, the subsidiary silver
coinage will be treated the same as i n
the past. 1t is a commodity, the price
of which is regulated the same a. in
the past, and will be discounted at the
ruling rates. 1t is probable hat the
silver certificates provided for in the
bill will come into general circulation,
and be used the same as gold notes are
at the present time. AS these will be
issued by the su~b-treasuries on de-
mand, the effect will be to cause a flow
OF silver to these repositories, which
will eventually be conferred at Wash
ington. The chances are that next
month some, if not all of our compan-
les, will pay off in the new coin, aud
that Trey will be as plentiful on the
Base Range as trade dollars were a
year or two ago.
