Well, Devins, that internal Silver Bill

Bevins-oh. no. sir. ] think not so
much.
Editor-It must have dore. Itell you !
1t is tblanlt1 repudiation. and gold
must have hoped up TO $50 at least.
Bevins-No, sir. it didn't I'm sure,
or should hare heard of it.
Editor-only jumped up to 40, eh?
Well, even that is awful; it foreshadows
the ruin OF this country. This silver
craze
Bsyins-No. sir: gold did not go up
to l4u or anything like it. L
Editor-I tell you it did! It must
have done. Bonds must have come
down terribly, and gold must have
hopped up to at least 80 per cent. Was
it only 1870? q. .-

ton of legislation affecting the Union
and Central Pacific Railroads, has at
length arrived ct unanimous conclu-
sion and recommend the passage of
Dorsey's Sinking Fund Bill
The bill As agreed to is amended by
the entire omission of the section which
provides for the re-conveyauce of a.
O0O,OO acres of land grants to the
Government On condition that the
sinking funds should DO credited there
fore at the rate of 81 % per acre, the
section providing that the Union Pa
ciic and Central Pacific companies

ed bill are as follows: All money due
these two companies the first day of
April next for Government transpor-
tation nre to form q nucleus of the
proposed sinking fund. the amounts to
be made equal by cash payment il nec-
essary to at least 1000, 900 for each
company. They are hereafter each to
pay into the United Stntes Treasury
Sl,000,000 per year in annual pay
ments until the year 1900 when the
bonds endorsed by the Government
become due. E.iE
Interest is to be accumulated semi.
annuity at the rate of six per cent
year upon all amounts thus placed to the
credit of the sinking fund and these
payments are to'be in lieu of the re-
quirements of the present law as to an
nual payment Of five per cent Of the
net earnings and the retention Of one
half of the earnings for Government
transportation. The balance found due
the United States by the companies in
the year 1900 is to be paid in fifty equal
seini-annunl installments together with
interest on deferred payment ut q rate

RsVi.r with some mining items from
that district: The Falcon has been
forced to suspend sinking on account
Of water. until larger tab can be

average assay Of S7S per ton. The
mine throughout Is looking better than
