NEW TO-DAY.
A CARD.

To MR.. FOX AND
party who signs himself Day" who Is super
intcndent of a mine which, among other dis
tasteful matters to the stockholders OF q min
ing company afflicted with the name of Day, has
published an open letter in the Phoebe :" Re-
cord" of June Goth.
1t was Day who purchased the mine 1T was
Day who incorporated it it is Day that super
intends il, and Day is the name of the once ia,
nous Jack Rabbit mine. Bat instead OF IL ali
being day, ii is all night and darkness, Day Is
the agent. the 4" trasty " servant, and the 700
willing instrument OF Mcdonald. Whatever
Dav does. is MeDonafd's deed In all transactions

fulI of kindness, in which he chooses to brand
the writer of this as q liar, | viii not dwell
upon. as it is we'll known by all thinking men
that, whenever a man abuses another IN an
argument, which should be onsed on rea-
son, he should be mindful Of the saying about
the pickpocket, who cries out, there is a cat
in the meal tub
1 wish to state here that the Day mine was
discovered by 1. N. Garrison and j. Emery f;
that the ore taken out by them yielded u little
over 81 goo per ton. After the purchase, and
incorporating the same, there was sacked up
and deposited on ths dump, ready Tor snip
ment, at least forty tons OF ore, which, py thc
lowest estimate Of persons VINO were 1ainluar
with the ore. by working in the mine, and by
assIys made, showed a value OF 500 per ton 10
rs high as $1,000. We will now allow and dis
card the moisture, as it laid in the open air
nearly three months, at a heat Of 10 degrees.
Now, what should ii have yielded? This ore
was taken cut between the time it was bonded
and incorporated, and tie bullion went, ms a
matter Of course, into the vaults CT the Day
Mining Company.
Mr.. Days incapability as n miner Is easily
detected by the most ignorant man inst ever
visited a mine. tlrst, he nun an upper tunnel
Il distance OF 100 feet to strike the ore at a depth
where it had already been penetrated. The
sinking of tie shaft was done principally with
a shovel. The tunnel was run in hard lime
rock, and required blasting. which cost about
81 600, 5nd WIS never put TO any other use than
q man taking a shoulder lead OF empty sacks
through it to throw down the shaft. thereby
costing the company 81 900, as 1t was used only
once. This was called economy,
Th second tunnel was run a distance OF 700
feet from its mouth TO it's destination, which,
however, lacks all of 800 feet OF being finished,
which would strike the ledge at a depth of
about $50 feet, and is very nearly the depth al
ready reached in the winze, end, az Mr.. Day
says, in perfectly valueless ore. Another great
objection is the location of the mouth of the
tunnel, which is so situated that 1T is almost
impossible. or only ut great expense, that a
wagon road could be built to 1t. II the tunnel
had been built 400 feet lower, with the addition
of a little more distance, a natural wagon road
could have been built, and il would have struck
the ledge at u depth of 700 feet. ! cite these
facts merely to show the greatskill and wisdom
of the Day mining engineer and open letter
writer.
After all these works and extravagances were
in full operation, the foreman of the mine, who
is q gentleman by instinct. slnelled a large
sized mouse, and quit the mine. People say
that lie WAS unwilling to be u party to the
fraud. He keeps silent, choosing to remain II
silent spectator. Now, Mr.. Dorsey makes his
| appearance, clothed with fun powers. granted

that. when / say ON my word OF honor, that TIL
mine has not been an expensive one, by an,
means, and that, to the best Of my belief. baseS
upon knowledge obtained by past experience,
say that a wholesale destruction Of the best orr
ever produced in Lincoln county has been car
ricd on by the managers of the Day mine, or
has been allowed by them. l can get q MAORI

In conclusion, allow me to ask why. II Their
