sFHamburg- Massacre" Butler.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-More
than three months ago General NJ. G.
Butler, of South Carolina, introduced
in the Senate resolution ordering an
investigation of the charges which
were then so freely made respecting
the bargain which he had entered into
to obtain the votes of Senators Patter-
son and Conover, and, through them,
a seat in the Senate. At that time he
was, or at least professed to be, exceed
ingly anxious to have the resolution
passed, and he then declared that it
was wonderfully strange and wonder
fully unjust that Senator Cameron, of
Wisconsin, should object to its passage
without debate. Since then, however,
General Buffers ardor in the direction
indicated seems to have cooled consd
erably, and the resolution in gu estion is
still lying on the Clerks desk, neglect
ed and apparently forgotten. OF
course it would be gross violation Of
Senatorial etiquette for any one but
General Butler to call the matter up,
and as be does not seem to be at all
concerned about it, now that he is Sc.
cure in his seat, it is probable that it
will be heard of no more. If the in
vestigation is ever begun, however, it
might not be amiss for the Senate at
the same time to enquire into the
causes which led to the co lfrmation of
Northrup to be District Attorney of
South Carolina. In this connection it
may be stated that the Committee on
Privileges and Elections will shortly
report in favor of seating Mr. Corbin
in place of General Butler. AS the
Senate now stands, however, that is
with Conover and Patterson in favor
of the hero of Ham burg, the lawful
claimant cannot hope to receive his
due.

fam iliarity with the commercial and
industrial history of the country, run

The sentiment was proven overwhelm-
ingly in favor of projection, subsidy to
American ships, and such Legislation as
is necessary to exclude foreign built
bottoms from participating in our coast
wise and foreign carrying trade, by
separate notes taken after full discus
sion. 1t was meeting of wide awake
men, representing millions of capital
and vitally interested in the revival Of

fail to be more or less influenced by
their presence here in their representa-.
tive capacity.
The National Agricultural Conven-
ton of the Grangers net here the same
day and at er a day and evening ses-
sion, adjourned without date. The at
tendance was large and the discussion
spirited, taking wide range. The
resolutions adopted favoring the owner
ship of the prlncipal railway lines by
Government; additional endowment
funds for the Colleges of Agriculture
and Mechanic Arts authorized by Con-
gresslonal acts OF 1872; favoring the
establishment of other "Experiment
Stations" in the states, and condemn
ing further distribution of public lands
to rail roads, seemed expressive Of the
sentiment of nine-tenths of the dele
gates present.

citation of Eastern Ontario (Can.),

the Province of Ontario during the
past year was 44OoO.OOO pounds, and
of butter l3,745,OOO pounds. In
paper |: he danger ofo7er production,
Hon. Harris Lewis enlarged upon the
magnitude of the interest involved,
giving statistics to show the growth of
the trade in the United States from
1870, when the exports of cheese we're
IA 900 pounds, and of butter the
value was s4S 900, up to 1877, when
the export of Butter was 21,5OO,OOO
pounds, and of cheese 107, 900 900.
There wee now 100000 COWS, val

wonder that the question arose, was
there not danger of reproduction ?

A Costly INDIAN WAR.-WAsH-
1NGToN, D. G., February 25.-The

We learn that a couple Of well-known
citizens of Cherry Creek, taking offense at
something that appeared in the columns Of
the Iadependents visited that Office one day
last week for the purpose Of 'lecfuring''
Brother Hoyt as to how he should conduct
his paper. They were fiercely set upon by
the editor and his two "devils," and fired
ont without ceremony, one carrying with
him an ugly cut from a lick with the Office
towel. The other, who got away unframed,
says it was his first visit to a printing Office.
and if God spares him his senses, it will be
his last. Brother Hoyt is new in the bust
ness, but he has started in well, and we
congratulate him on his great moral and
physical victory. BY the time he has
done" some half adozen malcontents in a
similar manner, those Cherry Checkers
will learn sense.
Caspar Schmidt, Of the st. Lonis Brew

We are sorry to lose SO good a citizen as

Bob Beatty successfully established the
ownership Of a promising looking pup, be-
fore Justice Cromer's Court yesterday
afternoon, but as the owner of the dog
couldn't come down with the lawyers
fees, Mr.. Beatty "snaffied onto. the cur
and started out to sell him. He Travelled
all the afternoon and until late at night.
When he first moved out he had q bug
chain fastened to the dog. and he only
wanted 500 for him late in the evening
he was seen walking toward Eureka from
the residence of a dog fancier on Ruby
Hill-some one had misehievonsly told
him that this nan had offered $50 for the
canine now in Mr.. Beatty p~ossession-but
when he got up there he found he could
only get 80 cents, and the man wanted to
stand him off for that until payday. At
III O'Clock last night Bob was trying to
give the dog away, but the brute had be-
come so attached to him-an attachment
formed by high living-that no one could
be found who would endeavor to coax the

One Of our teachers wants us to explain
to the "fond parents" in and about
Eureka, that they must not expect too
much development in one terms schooling
from children whose heads are ''long'' the
wrong way-that is, in some children, the
magnetic Influences Of the earth have had
too powerful an influence upon the iron
and fiue dust which has accumulated upon
the Youngsters heads, and thus the tops
have been drawn down, which has caused
them to olongate over the shoulders, or
fore and aft, to the various points of the
compass. Our idea of q well-balanced pate
in a boy just verginS upon the duties of a
Eureka hoodlum, is something after the
shape Of a pile Of charcoal; it should have
a tolerable pointed prominence about the
firmness and reyerential organs.

THE PRospEcroR.

How EEc Usually Fares III Nevada.
The "Times-Review" pays this just trib-
ute to a much neglected class Of all min
ing communities: How very little con-
sideration is given to the men who leave
their homes, shoulder a pick and shovel
and 80 out prospecting. When mines are
developed and are paying handsome diyi-
dends, who ever thinks Of the men who
located them? Does any one who is reap
ing the benefit in golden ducats remember
the one who brayed dangers. suffered
hardships, delvod day and night, only to
be disappointed at last. In the State Of
Nevada especially, does the prospector fare
hard. He is not like the pioneer in other
countries, for in nine out of ten instances
lie gets no reaurn for his work. Accord
ing to the custom adopted in mining Cir
cles, his only chance to make q stake out
of his find is to incorporate. And how
often this very thing means ruin to him.
Assessments are levied, and the poor pros
pector, who can barely keep body and soul
together, is frozen out. lie has no money
how can he pay assessments? But the
prospector is a cheerful fellow as we'll as a
philosopher, Qaietly he shoulders the old
battered pick and shovel, scrapes together
a few dollars, and goes off to the noun
tains again, perhaps to some unexplored
region, and hopes he'll have better luck
next time. Meanwhile men Of capital,
men who probably never did a days work,
are enjoying the fruits Of his toll. Well,
he hnds another claim, and it Is the same
old story over again-assessments and the
final abandonment Of the fortune that
should have been his. Wherever the
pioneer goes and makes ahome for himself,
hewing down the trees and cultivating the
soil, he receives the benefit of his labor.
He is respected and becomes a part of the
country he has helped to subdue. But
how many men do we see every day, who
have spent years prospecting and are still
homeless. Their hair turns gray, and yet
they so on, over kill and valley, in search
Of the fortune they'll never find. Say a
good word for the men who break the way
to all of our mining camps, and to whom
We owe the wonderful wealth of all this
eoast-the prospector."

The appended items of interest are from
the San Of last Saturday:
Mr.. Haskell, the mining expert who came
up to examine the Gila mine, returned to
San Francisco last Monday.
Glen Ogden, Superintendent Of the ella
mine, Reveilic, was in town during the
week, and paid a visit in company with Mr..
Hawkins, Of the Tybo Con. Mining Com
pany, to Danyille.
Hon. 7. J. Bell arrived from Downey-
Vile Tuesday night. Mr.. Bell took in Eu-
reha on his way. He says the principal
amusement on the Base Range consists in
going around TO Pete Caravans saloon and
hearing the ''soreheads" OF both parties re-
late their grievances.
Remember. boys, the 7th and sth. then
no, for Hot Creek AMI the races. There
will be some lively times we op;ne. The
White River boys will be on band with
their brag horses, and Jot Travis Is coming

horses, then jockey for the stakes. A man
can have all the fun aud whisky he wants,
md get all his bets taken by going to Hot
Greek next Monday week.
Jerry Quinn, the man shot, in Ward, by
Horace Beene, was on old pioneer in this
section, so W. learn from our fellow towns
man j. d. Page. In 'G7 he lived at Twin
Springs, between here and Reveille. Dur
ing the winter of that year be got lost in
the snow and froza his feet. George
NicAoll, now County Clerk of this county,

at the risk Of his own. Jerry's feet were
so badly frozen that one Of them had to be
amputated. He is represented here as a
quiet. inoffensive man, whom everybody
liked.

THE HILLSIDE.


OAsc VI hnc Most EFOAtfstnS Mines
in southeastern Nevada.
While Mr.. J. b. MCGEE was here the
other day we gathered from him some par
ticulars regarding the Hillside mine at
Bristol. If the reports be one-half true, it
is by far the most promising mining prop
erty in Southeastern Nevada. The main
incline, which is well timbered, is dow.
ITO feet. showing ore on all sides and at
the bottom. In sinking this incline and
running two short drifts 1900 tons of ore
were extracted. A crosscut on the S0-foot
level showed the ledge at that point to be
l6 feet wide, carrying ore right through
worth $3.50 per ton. There are in the COM
pany's property four claims, namely the
Hillside, Red Cloud Dexter and Tiger, in
corporatod for 100, 900 shares. There
Is an excellent furnace on the prop
ertv, water rights, rock crusher. sampler,
scales, etc., all complete and in good run
ming order. The furnace has been run II
days, yielding So, 600 in bullion. The
principal part Of the bullion is shipped to
York, on the Southern Utah Railroad, BY
Mormon teams. 1t is landed at Ogden at
S27 80 per ton. The bullion is Of much
higher grade than the base metal of any
other district on the coast, being worth
$3.50 per ton. There has been some little
delay on account Of a scarcity of coal, but
this will soon be obyiated. The contractor,
Mr.. Deyine, has three lilns in operation,
and two more will be completed the pres
ent week. The Company pays 2G cents per
bushel. Mr.. MCGEE is highly pleased with
the outlook of the property, and thinks
that he has at last got himself in a position
to make all the money he will ever need in
this world. We are glad to know it, for
Mac is a number one, energetic miner, and
richly deserves any amount Of good luck.
