Only an Emlgrant.

Only an emigrant lying there
On the rock bound coast of halifax Bay,
What the salt sea damp on his yellow hair,
And his face against in Deaths d,smay!
Only an emigrant! one of five hundred;
Hurled to his doom when some one blund-
cred.
When the rich go down we may reckon the
cost,
And value their lives and what they are
worth;
But who will weep for the emigrant lost
This clod of clay which numbered the earth :
Drive the nails in his cofin-lid
And let his corpse from our sight be hid.
But list, pray. Leagues on leagues away,
In turf thatched hut on the Irish shore,
There are human hearts which are breaking
to day;
And bright hours dashed for evermore,
And eyes half. blind with passionate tears,
And the dreary outlook Of desolate years.
Only an emigrant lying there,
Lfeless and mute in Halifax Bay;
But his soul was strong and his skies were
fair,
When he left his home-a month to-day,
He fondled his child and kissed his wife,
Ere he sought new scenes in the battle OF life.
Brawny his hands and brave his heart,
And firm his belief that the hour would
come
When those with whom he dreaded to part
Should join him again in Western home
Hopeful and happy, and rich and free,
In better land You'd the sea.
Only an emigrant's family there,
In the Irish home where the news has ped
But the terrible look of utter despair
Makes the face of the living as sad as the
dead;
For the light of their lives went out that day,
When the ship struck the rock in Halifax Bay
Only an emigrant lying there,
With his parted lips grown ashen gray,
With the sea damp on his yellow hair,
And his face aghast in Deaths dismay!
Oh, merciful God! take his soul to Thee,
In better land beyond the seal

creased rapidly in that respect. New mines
are constantly being developed, and capital
furnished to work the old ones, and another
year will show still greater increase il the
development OF its mineral wealth.
For months past Denver. city of q. 600
inhabitants, has had a floating population of
1000 more, composed mainly OF Eastern
Capitalists and the State is full of laborers
New mills, smelling and reduction works,
are going up, and while gold and silver are
about as low ~ they can be, these new mills
Increase in the laboring population and de-
crease In the cost of miners supplies. and
cannot do otherwise than to make the cost of
INNING less and the profits consequently
larger. Then, too, new ways and means for
treating ores are constantly being invented
aud the day cannot be far distant when the
third class ores, now consigned to the dump
pile. will pay richly for handling.
In making this report have taken pains
to find out and give the facts, also the obin-
IONS ofall who were in condition to know the
facts relating to these mines. Though my
figures of the value of these ores may seem
low, In comparison to some of these
enormous assays which We see from other
mines, yet have tried to get at the bottom
iacts IN regard to their value; and | believe
aud trust that they will prove to be not only
lov-but very low.
The Horsefall Mine. which have previous
ly mentioned. has already yielded nearly
$500, OOO-yet it has not been worked for
over five years. though it was when last work
ed paying richly, and there seems to be no
end to the vein. SO if the mics near the
Juniata are not being worked. it is no sign
that they are not good.
The American Mine has shown by the mill
returns for months in succession that its
ores were worth 81, 500, per ton yet at times it
has not paid large. but the aggregate has been
satisfactory. SO with the other mines of this
class, throughout the mining country.
If a reason can be given why in addition
to tue true assure veins which are regular
and will continue, rich pockets do not exist.
and cannot be found in the La ayette, Ohio

John 7. Dreto Esq President of S,nshin,
Mining and Reduction Co.
DEAR SIB:-It will not be necessary for me
to add snv thing to the statements which have
already b en- made in Diet ILL., AS to the Lafay. tie,
Ohio and Juniata Mines so will conf ae my
self to the simple recommendation Ms to what
should be done to work the mines profitably
The expense necessary to put the Juniata
In perfect shape for working to advantage
will be about $500. The Lafayette can be
prepared at an expense of some $500, and
the Ohio about the same.
As both Mr.. Lowell and Mr.. Elliot have
made mention, specifically, as to the machin-
cry. etc, needed 1 will not repeat it here.
In case of Juniats l think force
of six men and an expenditure of
$500 for within, a horse, etc, will en-
able us to sink the shaft ten feet deeper.
and take out during the first &c days work.
ing. net profit of at least $1,000 1t will be
best to work on the tunnel at the same time
by contract. The first so feet. worked by con-
tract, and two gangs of sorters and miners,
two In each gang. and two blacksmiths for
the necessary blacksmithing for shaft and
tunnel, aside from contract work, will enable
Us to assert the pile Of ore now at the mouth
OF shaft and tunnel. and all ores taken out of
the tunnel by the contractor and thus Sec
cure at least, as q net result, over cost of tun-
nelling.a further sum of at least 81 500 Thus
you see the mines are in good condition to
be worked on your estimate of $40, 900 to
begin with.
OF course you can put larger force on the
Lafayette and Ohio and work from all the
shafts at II paying rate now, and also from the
Junmta But advise gangs of 6 to 10 miners
at first, and run tunnels into both mines on
contracts, and thus. out of the earnings of
the mine. secure fair dividend, and work.
ing capital that will be ample, with the bal
ance of the assessments on the treasury
stock sold, to develop the mines by tunnels
30 fully that the Results will be AZ large as we
can wish. Reduction works will soon be in
full working order, not over two miles from
Juniata and not over , l-2 miles from the
other mines. and all our ores can be milled
at paying rates. i am satisfied We shall find
an abundance of ores in the Lafayette worth
on AZ average $500 per ton. and in the Ohio
the same. aid do not think any of the ores
in these mines will run under $50 per ton
while the great bulk of it must go over 500
per ton. at the very lowest The mines are
so located that the work can be done at least
expense, and the nearne-s of reduction works
and the excellence of the roads will tend to
decrease expenses.
Respectfully, &c..

Below the Ohio IS the main road at d.
lance OF 700 or 500 teet. This road follows
along the stream, known as Lett Hand
which runs only few feet beyond it.
Pack mules could be used TO carry the ore
sacks TO the road above the Lafayette or to
the Left Hand road, below the Ohio. until
such time as it should be thought best to
grade abroad to the mines.
The Ohio mine is 300 bv So feet. The
discovery shaft has only been sunk 10 teet
and is locsted,in the centre of the mine.
Above this, and 100 feet to the northeast,
another shaft has been sunk IS feet.
Both shafts show we'll, yet do not think
it advisable to work either at present, but
instead do whatever is necessary TO hold
the claim, and possibly more. in prospect

What is Thought of him in washing.
tOn-A Most Useful Member, he
Ought to be Returned to
Congress.

Washington Gazette: The many friends of
Hon. Casey Young, who has so ably repre-
seuted the Memphis (Tennessee) district in
congress for the past three years, will be glad
to learn that there is strong probability OF
his reelection. His great personal popular
ity and the fidelity with which he has at
tended to his duties, make him valuable
representative. His successful efforts in be-
half of the Memphis customhouse, and for
the improvement of the river front of that
| city, show that his influence was of good ac-
count, and that he commanded the respect
| and attention of the house. His ability as an
able lawyer, ready debater, always courteous
toward his opponents, has placed him In 4
conspicuous position IN congress. Having
developed the capacity to deal with all pub
lie questions as a conscientious legislator, his
services are now made more valuable by the
experience which lie has had in the national
councils. The most influential members of
the house of representatives are those who
have been returned by their constituents year
after year. And In some sections of the
country member vino possesses the ability
to occupy a seat in the house with such cred
it to himself and his people, Is constantly re-
elected, upon the ground that familiarity with
public affairs is one of the most important
acquisitions in the character of a legislator.
Colonel Young has always shown due APP
probation of the commercial interests of the
country, and in this regard other public men
might profit by his example. Such quality,
to the great southwest especially, is one of
vast Importance. He is a staunch Democrat,
aud always evlnces the strongest allegiance
to his party. His utterances, however, are
characterized by q spirit of tolerance and
fairness which has won for him the admira-
ton of his friends and the respect OF his OPP
ponents. 1t is to be hoped that the people of
his district will not be influenced by any local
dissensioDs which may arise, but that they
will return COIOnal YouuO To the fortU-Siyth
congress, where his useful career may he

THE FALL TRADE.
The Outlook from a New York stand
point Very EncOuraging-The Rot
ten Houses Weeded Out-The
Bottom Reached.

New York Commercial AdUertiSer: The
merchants and commercial classes of this city
have been looking forward with great conf
dence to a good fall trade, and from the evil
appears to be no doubt but that their hopes
will be realized. None of them expect the
rushing" kind of business which character
lied trade In general before the panic of 1873,
but, all believe that a sound and steady style
of business will be carried on, mainly upon
cash principles or on those of short credit
Country buyers show by their orders that all
their stocks are low, and that the fine crops,
having given the farmer encouragement,
have also induced their wives and daughters
to replenlsh their depleted stores of dry
goods, etc., to an extent which shows that
prosperity Is again apparent In the rural
districts. Firm trade has been guaranteed
by the general sweeping out OF rotten houses
and reckless traders Heretofore there have
been located in this city, in common with all
cities, number of speculative firms that
have sought trade at ruinous sacrifices, re-
gardless of the fact whether or not the pro-
ducers of the goods or their agents realize
anything by the sales. Millions upon mill
lions of dollars worth of goods have been dis
posed of In this manner, to the injury of the
fair trader and to the pecuniary loss of the
producer, such unprincipled dealers general
ly winding up in a failure for hundreds of
thousands, with mo assets. These houses
have been nearly all wiped out, so that the
prospects are that trade will be conducted
this season on business principles. This
statement is borne out by inquiries as to the
meetings of creditors, which were so COM
mon short time ago, for the purpose of eff
fecting a compromise with debtors and real
lzing something from the wreck-a chance
which was extremely remote of the debtor
should take advantage of the bankrupt laws
1t was found that these meetings of creditors
had lately been exceptional rather than the
rule. and from this fact it is believed that hon.
est business houses generally had found
bottom and rested securely thereon, while
spectators had been driven out to a great
extent

CONTESTED ELECTION.
The ONCE of AttOrney-Generat of the
Bartlett Circuit Court to be Con-
tested for On the Ground of
IneligibiIity

A contest has grown out of the late county
election. Mr.. Ben Reeves notified Coroner
Caldwell that he claimed the certificate of
election to the office of attorney general of
the Bartlett circuit court, on the ground that
MIR. w. j. Duval, who received the certificate
OF election was ineligible to the office, on the
ground that when elected he resided in Mem.
phls and not within the jurisdiction of the
Bartlett circuit court. In the election, w. J.
Duval (National), received nine thousand
four hundred and forty-tbree votes IN the city
and county. Ben Reeves, who resides at
Bartlett, received FIVE votes In the country
districts, which, he claims, gives him title
to, and elects him to the Office OF attorney
general OF the Bartlett circuit court, he being
eligible by reason or residing within the
jurisdiction of the court, and his opponent,
w. j. Duval, not being eligible, no matter
how many votes he received, by reason of his
residing in Memphis, and outside the
jurisdiction of the court The matter fcon-
test will come up before Judge Kortrecht, of
the chancery court, when he takes his seat on
the first Monday of September, and by writ
OF qua tCG1TGHtO. There are said to be some
nice legal points involved in the
question, which the lawyers and the
chancellor will have to solve. Some
years ago the Bartlett circuit court had con-
current jurisdiction over Shelby county,
Memphis included, and the people of the en-
tire county voted to elect its officers, but SUBJ
sequent Legislatures restricted the criminal
and civil jurisdiction of the court to the coun-
try districts outside the boundary line of
Memphis. 1t is a question whether or not
the citizens of Memphis have the legal right
to vote to elect the officers of the Bartlett cir
cult court, except the judge of the court, who
as probate judge of Shelby county, is er Off
clio judge of the Bartlett circuit court. Should
it be decided that the citizens of Memphis
had no right to vote in the recent election for
candidate for the Office of attorney general of
the Bartlett circuit court, it would cut no fig
ure in the contest, because w. j. Duval re-
ceived greater number of votes in the coun-
try than his opponents, Ben Reeves, who re-
ceived FIVE votes, and Mr.. George g. Dent,
who received twenty-six hundred and sixty
one votes; Mr.. Duval having received in the
country thirty-nine hundred and sixty votes
So the contest, if any, must hinge on the
question of ineligibility, because of non-resi-
dence within the jurisdiction of the Bartlett
circuit court on the part of Mr.. Duval. Mr..
Dent, who received the next highest vote in
the country, could not raise the question of
ineliglbility against Mr.. Duval, because he
| Mr.. Dent also resided in Memphis at the
time of the election, so it leaves the entire
contest to Mr.. Ren Reeves, who received five
