DEANE AND MACKAY.

Coll Deane and the Bonanza firm are
coming down to business. John Mackay
sent word to Coll Deane as follows: ~
will give you 100000 if you find three
bonanzas in .he Hale & Norcross, Ophir
and Yellow Jacket mines, you paying for
the work until they are found. When
fonnd will reimburse you for your expendi-
ture, with the addition of 100000
To this proposal Deane replied: "Tell
Mr.. Mackay to put the proposal in writing
and will accept it for myself and friends. "
This is as square and honorable a propo-
sition as any man could wish and if John
Mackay puts it in writing, as he most
assuredly will, if he ever made it verbally,
nothing remains for Deane but go to work
and show up the bonanzas which he be-
beves to exist in the three mines named.
The proposition of Mackay to pay all ex-
penses of development if the bonanzas are
found, is characteristic of the man and his
manner of doing business Deane now has
an opportunity of backing up his assertions
by actual demonstration, and if the work be-
gins Deane will either be the biggest or small

EASTERN AND WESTERN TARIFF

OF the Eastern and middle States People

eonveniences of railroad travel and the rates
charged for transportation now with the dread
ful era of shanks mares and ricksty stages and

following comparison of rates between
Eastern and Western roads "Ths present
average cost of sending 100 pounds
Of grain from Chicago to New York by
rail is SO to 40 cents the distance 1000.
This is 81 to 90 per ton. The Eureka and
Palisade, at 20 cents per ton per mile, charges
$lS for 80 miles and the Virginia and
Truckee road charges SO per ton for 50 miles
equal to the highest rates for freight on
grain between Chicago and New York, dis
tance of 900 miles Chicago is growing at
high railroad charges, too. 1t is proposed
that q new double steel track road be built
which will carry freight to New York for
from 80 80 to s. 80 per ton fer the 1000
miles. 1t is estimated that even At these low
rates the projectors will clear from 10 to 10
per cent. on their investment
"How long would the people of Chicago,

The wood is as black as Irish bog oak, in con-

excellent material for wood carving and mo-

One of them, about 81 feet in length and 5
