SOME time ago, when former Com
missioner OF Indian Affairs, Mr.. n. G..
Taylor, was explaining to Little Ra-
ven, chief of the Arapahoes, the diff
ference between heaven and hell, and
the fact that each would open to man
kind, irrespective Of race or color, the
chief answered.: ut is a good notion
heap good-for if all the whites are
like the ones know, when Indian gets
to heaven few whites will trouble him
pretty much all go t'other place."

Close Work.

Messrs. John Wilson and Myron
Crafts are proving themselves to be
good amalgamators. They have sue
ceeded in working the ore from the
Wolverine mine, at Banner, up to 80
per cent. of the assays. Over two
thousand pounds of sulphnrets have
been shipped from the Gold Hill mill
to Banner, by the aid Of which they
will be able to save 81 per cent Such
close working of silver ore is a very.
rare thing, and shows that the gentle
men above named understand their
business thoroughly. They are both
young men and will make themselves
popular with the mining public.

THE MATIsoN MINE AND ARAsTRA.


On last Saturday we mounted On

1t was discovered and located by

Work has been done in several places
on the ledge, and Mr. Harvey informs
us that in every shaft rock was found

been interested in the mine for four

A nENEIICENr MEASURE.

On the 22i OF March last Senator MERET-
MON introduced bill into the Senate in re-
lation to the payment of taxes and ASSESS
ments in the city of Washington, District Of
Columbia, which is next to the measure
that defines the relations between the Fed
eral Government and the District rs to the
rates of proportiOnate tnxpaying, in i'm
portnnCe to those prOpcrty-holdcrs who bear
the burdens Of taSatOn. These burdens
have been heavy ut the best, but the pcn-
altes that have bccu imposed upon dclln-
quency under these burdens transcend all
limits of justice or iorbcarancc. The bill to
which we now refer has for its purpose to
the payment of taxes overdue at the assess
mcnt rate, adding interest thereto at the
rate of q per cent. per annum. This is
highly just and bcneflcent measure and
Congress should not adjourn without pass
ing it to law. The relief to the people
would be immeasurable. The defaults in
payment Of taxes have, almost without cx-
ception, occurred from inability to pay
under existing circumstances. The
penalties have been heavy, and
have largely increased the burden
In this way the poorer property owners
have been literally crushed under the load
laid upon them, and the sacrifice of their
property seems inevitable.
If Congress will pass this bill it will
spread more joy throughout this city than
can be produced by any other measure
within the range Of conjecture. 1t will
bring emancipation from an oppressive con.
ditiOn of affairs that weighs down the en-
ergics of property y-holdcrs, and keeps them
constantly on the ragged edge of despair.
The city will receive its taxes and interest
thereupon, and the taxpayer will be re-
! lieved OF a burden that is constantly in.
creasing in magnitude and rendering his
prospects more and more hopeless We
| appeal to Congress, in the name Of Justice
and generosity, that it pass this measure OF
relief, and enable the Taxpayers to wipe
out all old scores and take an entire new
departure under the proposed new form o
| government.
