THE PRIMITIVE BEDROCK OUGHT 10
BE REACHED.


of hard formations, entered into a pro-
ject for sinking shaft through it, A
small engine was procured and shaft
started just above the junction Of
More and Elk creeks. All went well
until depth seventy-ive or eighty
feet was obtained, when a large
rush Of water was encountered, which
increased as further depth was OBJ
tanned. When at the depth of one
hundred and twenty-eight feet the
rush of water from the bottom was SO
great that the work had to be aban-
doned, the engine being too small for
the work required. But the msuc
cessful attempt made, then TO sink to
the primitive bedrock should not de-
ter our citizens from making another
trial.
We think the easiest way to ascer-
tain whether there is gold below the
formation would be for the business
men to combine'and receive contribu-
tons and get apparatus for boring a
six or eight inch hole. The cost
would be only about $500, a mere tri,
fie, when the amount Of gold it may
discover is considered That there is
untold wealth below the Stratas is an
almost certain fact, and when once
proven positively machinery will be
erected for hosting the gravel. We
DO not think there is a miner in this
vicinity that would not contribute a
few dollars toward such 4 work. and
all that would be necessary to set the
ball rolling and make the enterprise a
success wonld be for two or three Of
our business men TO take hold of the
matter and make some move toward
getting up company Paying mues

The Lee Monument Ball.

That American ladies of fashion
are really very democratic, notwith-
standing the hankering after Euro
pean titles, was shown by pleasant
little matter that grew out of the Lee
monument ball. Colonel French,
who got up the affair, conceived the
idea that if he should open poll
where gentlemen could, at ten cents
q ballot, vote for queen, the gentle
men would all stand around and
just hurl in the dimes for their favor
ties. The ladies were pleased with
the idea at first, but afterward be-
thought themselves that only one of
their number could be queen. They
therefore got together and petitioned
Colonel French to do away with his
queen business. as they all proposed
to reign, each in her own way, at the
ball, and of course the Colonel was
obliged to succumb.

LYON COUNTY TIMES
PROJECTING THE BALLOT.
A North Carolina COntrivance for
Registering Votes at Elections.

A correspondent sends from North
Carolina a sketch and description of
a machine devised for registering
votes at election, the purpose being
to prevent ballot-box stuffing and in
sure an approximately fair election.
Without entering into a description
of the device it is enough to state
that it is sort Of electoral bell
punch, to be applied by the indivie.
ual voters, which promises no more,
however, than the successive register
ing of votes on dial. No check is
provided against repeating and other
more elusive frauds on the ballot
box. Although machine is to
be provided for each candidate, no
means appear to be provided for en-
aiding the Independent voter to cut
the regular ticket according t, the
dictates of sometimes hayward
fancy. The point is made that the
continuance will lessen the service re-
quired at election precincts, but this
is hardly clear, as the same clerical
force will be needed in caring for the
registry books, and the number need
ed to look after the machine would be
equal to, if not greater, than those
now employed in receiving and de-
posting the ballots. Our cores
pondent appears to unwittingly ac-
knowledge the defects of his crea-
ton by the statement that it "can be
as closely watched by detectives out
side as we'll as by officers within, so
that mutual protection is at once
established" In general, any plan
which promises to lessen illegal
voting BY substituting mechanical
devices for the Strengthening of
moral forces is to be avoided as likely
to prove delusive. The methods of
voting now in vogue are sufficiently
suggestive of machinery.
