Richmond Mining Company.

A shareholder in the above.named
company publishes the following In
the London mining Journal" of 70.
cent date:
Strand now another light
upon the dividend subject, disguised
under the latinity of "Lucem," in the
supplement TO last weeks Journal.
So dissatisfied with "Forethought's''
arithmetic is this new light that he has
undertaken to furnish accounts with
out accurate data to show the wisdom
of this company distributing dividends
which are not yet available in cash,
In the Journal you quote from the
Eureka SENTINEL that pig-lead is "be-
ing offered in New York at Az cents
per pound, with no transactions at that
price; that the staynancy makes quite
a difference in the Eureka district,
which produces rs tons daily, and at
present price il does not pay to send
crude bullion to the refineries; the
Richmond Company are accumulating
a large stock of refined lead, and look
to a foreign market for sale." Does
"Lucem" think that the company
have the assumed profit which he
talks of in cash? He is very free with
his arithmetic, which / do not think
your readers will consider SO far SUI
perior to "Forethought's." Perhaps
he can turn his light on to the cost OF
refining in the desert, and the price
which lead is valued at in the weekly
returns. /, for one, shall be glad to
hear again from s.Forethought," whose
prudent observations are l believe ap-
preciated by all well wishers to Amer
lean enterprise, who are not dazzled
by the shine OF these weekly returns,
which have sent the shares up to so
high a price, In spite of an adverse le-
gal decision, which the best lawyers in
the United States have expressed an
opinion will not be reversed on appeal.
There are other Triggers on the wood
pile" which "Lucem" has not turned
his lantern to, but which, perhaps, in
duces "Forethought" to counsel pru-
dence in respect to. and the declaration
of large dividends. Firstly, do the
reserves of ore in the mine, and its
condition generally, warrant the enor-
nous rate of production at the mine?
Secondly, does tie present depressed
state of the market warrant it, as it is
contrary to all practice in prudently
managed British mines? Lastly, but
not leastly, what provision does "Lu-
GEMS" arithmetical mind propose to
make for the claim which the Eureka
Company have for ore taken out of
their ground to the extent of millions
of dollars? When the shares go down
this question will crop up, and then
buyers on weekly reports will say,
'Oh, dear, what swindles these Yam
kee mines are!" Let the directors ex-
ercise common business judgment,
and get all the cash they can together,
and stick to it till these questions are
settled and markets better, and in the
meantime pay 6 per cent. interest per
annum on their capital. This would
ensure the future prosperity of the
mine, and serve the best interests of
bona fide shareholders, though L must
confess it might be to spectators for
a rise AN EYEoPENER.

Caves.

Caves are multiplying on the lode,
and scarcely a mine but what has one
or more of these cavernous openings.
The Richmond Company has recently
broken into two, both of which con-
tain ore In large quantities. The Eu.
reka Consolidated has opened the larg-
est n on The lode, of immense
proportions. The X X has n on the
Sd level, the Jackson two. and the Con-
molly a medium sized one. Ore is al
ways found in close proximity to these
openings in the limestone, and many
miners embrace the theory that they
eventually ill up with vein matter,
constituting the mould for ore bodies
and that the present deposits were
filed In in this way.

Superintendent A. s. Peck, of the
Tenn Pahute Mining Company, re-
turned from Tenn Pahute District
Wednesday evening. Mr.. Peck is a
gentleman of observation and expert

selection in appointing him to the posi-
ton. He reports everything In that
section as looking well. The company
have a force of men at work getting
everything in readiness for future oper-
atoms, and will proceed to develop
their series of mines with vigor. Their

Kissed the Wrong Woman.

A ludicrous scene took place at the
depot last week, aud one that furnished
much amusement to the lookers-on.
A husband, who had been separated
from his cherished wife for a long Pc
Rod, had received news of her expect
ed arrival on that particular night,
and was impatiently awaiting the ar
rival of the train. He paced to and
fro on the platform in a fever of excite
ment, longing for the moment to come
when he should meet his darling
again. The minutes passed all too
slow, but he was at last rewarded by
hearing the faint puf1s of the locomo-
tive down the canyon, and in a short
time the cars rolled up to the depot
and the passengers made their ext.
He eagerly watched each descending
form until q lady hove in sight, and
without further examination he rushed
up, flung his arms around her in low
ing embrace, and implanted a dozen
hasty and hearty kisses on her face.
Fancy his horror when she, in return,
set up a scream that would have done
credit to a locomotive whistle, ending
Off by a frantic appeal to the bystand-
ers for protection from the ardent man
To his horror, he found that she was
a total stranger, aud that he had be-
slowed his osculatory performances
on the wrong III 1t took q long
time to explain the situation to her
entire satisfaction. and she still labors
under the impression that it was not
as much a mistake as he declares. The
wife, who was aboard and witnessed
the scene from the platform, was also
disposed to blame him for his impetu-
osity, but reserved her opinion until
she could get him into the quiet OF
their rooms, where she doubtless read
him a severe lecture.

THE LOCAL EDITOR.
His Trials, Troubles and Tribula.
lions.

We have seer many pictures Of that
very useful individual, the local editor.
One of the latest and best that has
come under our observation is from an
Eastern exchange. OF course, it is not
applicable at this altitude, but it is
nevertheless readable. Here it is:
If a man buys a new buggy, or if his
COW can bawl three times without
winking, the local is expected to pro-
claim IL with a grand flourish. II he
starts a two penny business, his first
thought is to bride the local with z
ive-cent cigar to write up a five dollar
puff. Indeed, he thinks it is a mission
of the local to make his fortune for
him by Stree blowing" He will take
tho local TO me side and point out the
superior qualities of a rat.terrier dog,
and cooliy ask him to give him a
hoist. He don't care anything about
it, only Spriggins has a dog which he
thinks is a buster, and some OF 'em
wanted his ''put in" just to take the
conceit out of Spriggins." Everybody
wants TO be "put in" They are the
'Great l am" but no one says, "Here,
local, put yourself inside of this new
suit of Clothes" or Throw yourself
outside of this oyster stew" or ''Stuff
This watch into your pocket" Oh, no,
of course not; that would cost some.
thing. The shoe Is on the other foot,
you see. The local is supposed to
know everything about other peoples
business, aud is expected to show up
all the actors in every family broil in
the town. If the vile tongue of scan
DIAL finds a victim, people wonder why
he don't run about with his note book
and gather up the vituperative bits of
Islander for his pa per. If he steps into
a billiard hall he is requested to make
a note of the astonishing fact that Bill
Tompkins had made a u of eleven
points. When a minstrel troupe ar
rives in town, the agent Immediately
rushes into the printing office. and,
calling for the local, he slips three or
four tickets into his hand, and whis-
pers: Draw us a big house, put it in
strong;" and patting him patronizingly
on the shoulder, the agent admits the
inferiority of the troupe, but we are
not to let on. 1t is no sin for the local
to lie. To please the lecturer, the local
is forced to sit two mortal hours to
hear him through an insipid discourse,
so that he can "write it up" And so
it goes. All are anxious to appear
fovorably in print, but few are willing
to pay for it. The locals time is worth
nothing but to bother his head writing
puffs for ambitious persons. 1t don't
cost anything to live. He never eats,
or drinks, or travels, and money is OF
no use to him. Put it in! Put it in!

FATAL FIGHT.
Two Men Killed During a Dispute Over a
Game OF Cards.

-
On Christmas Eve a frlghtful and
fatal affrsy took place at a ranch about
twelve miles south of Evans, Colorado,
between two men, Aiken and Gerry,
in which both were killed almost out
right. From Mr.. Hufersmith, con.
ductor on the Denver Pacific railway,
we yesterday CLEANED the facts, which
are as follows:
Aiken, who is an Irishman, sat down
In the room with Gerry, q half breed
Indian. and proceeded to play a game
of cards. They had been drinking
freely, and, although they began play
ing on the best of terms, a controversy
soon arose. Gerry accused Aiken Of
cheating in the game; the latter sprang
to his feet and fourished a huge knife
which he habitually carried about his
person. Gerry seized an Ak, and the two
Infatuated msn commenced the work Of
death. Gerry's head was almost en-
tirely severed from his body, and Aiken
was mangled terribly by the ak In the
hands Of Gerry. The floor Of the room
in which they went down to their
death looked like a slaughter house
when the bloody conflict ended.
