Getting At 1t in the Right Way.

Down about Silver City some of
the miners are getting to work on
their claims in the right way. They
take ore on the top Of the ground. or
wherever is to be found that
will pay, and digging it out mill it
and get their money. This is at last
getting at the business in the right
way. Heretofore, no matter what
was found on or near the surface, the
plan has been to go as far away from
it as possible and start shaft or tun-
mel in order to get an immense mine.
In most cases the tunnels and shafts
have never been finished, coin failing
before pay ore was reached, while
that which would have paid some
thing from the start has been allowed
to rest undisturbed.-Dan de guile,
in the Enterprise.

 fertile country. inhabited by people en l gagged in agriculture and conn cree. Int ; canal will have neither locks nor tunnels
 and it's cutting will reach depth Of three hundred and forty feet on the Cordllleras
 II is estimated the engineering difficult ties, excepting the Chagres torrents dur.
 ing winter, will not he great. Its cost
 will bs stupendous. The first estimate Of S10l00O0oJ has been suceessivgly in- creased, till now the amount reaches 2S0,000,000. Th's includes right of way and the purchase Of tue Panama railway. but does not include interest on capital during construction. It IS estimated that eight or ten years will be required to build the canal. Interest would form an important addition to its present esti. mated cost. The financial basis of the scheme is calculated upon a minimum revenue oi S4,5OO.Oo0 x year at first, de- rived from the passage of 6,OO0,OOO tons ot merchandise. It Is thought that the actual tonnage would reach 100000 at first, with prospect of great future in- crease. It Is claimed, and we have no doubt with truth, that the very existence of the canal would increrse international exchanges. Admitting all that is claimed for it, we do not regard the prospect, as investment, as very fiattering.
 On the 23d inst. M de Lesseps issued the prospectus of the Darlen Canal Con- pany. The capital is fixed at 0O.O0O, 900 francs. Only 125 francs per share will be called up in the first instance. Interest at the rate of five per centum per annum will be paid OF the actual money received during course of construction. M. de Lesseps estimates MI income of 90,000,000 francs from the canal, and reckons that the shareholders will receive eleven and one-half per centum per annum. In his NJ. de Lesseps has evidently figured upon the maximum revenue.
 M. de Lesseps promises that the work will begin on the 1st of January next. He made 8 grand success of the Suez Canal project; it remains 10 be seen whether an equal success will be made with this-Ec0noRist

A Hfgh-Priced Mistake.

Two miners sat down in the wilderness of Southern Utah few months since t.
 nunch their bread and then pursue thei
 wauderings and their search for wealth They were prospectors who, havinl
 left the beaten track of treasure
 seekers, wandering of, to the amusement
 of their fellows, into the comparatively
 level country. where months or searching had revealed nothing.
 "We had better get back into the noun
 tain country, Jim," said his "pard." As he spoke his tool struck something | 8 few inches under the sand, and the ! prospector found a fracture on rhe rocks
 and picked up smsll, yellowish piece of
 stone.
 "Wha:'s thstS" said Tom, as be saw with what feverish esrnestness his "pard" examined the piece.
 "Egad think it's horn silver!"
 They were out of provisions and clothes they had not means with which to pay the fee for securing their find" After open- ing up their prize sufficiently to show that vein existed, they offered it to Mir Ben Morgan. of Pittsburg, who is opera ting sn1clt'ng works few miles below Salt Lake City, for Rl8,JOG. Mir Morgan sought the advice oI the Superintendent of the Ontario mine. Together they ex- amned the new" find" and, unfortunately for the genial Ben. they decided it was not worth rlsking the money on. The mlners continued 10 open their vein, but soon again were stranded, when one of them wrote to two Irish friends. who had already lost money on supposed finds, and besUught them to try their luck once more. After much importuning they ln- vested enough money to gIve the miners good start, when .he development oi the mine proceeded rapidly. Four shafts were sunk ard number Of intermediate galleries run which connected the shafts The work WAS pushed solely with view to snow the magnitude Oi Gne utpOeiI. IL was the marvel or the whole country. Conservative old engineers measured the ore bodies actually in sight. taking noth- ing for granted, made numerous analyses in all parts of the mine to determine its richness, and the most cautious calculated the silver in sight is worth S27,00O,00O. Jay Cooke, hearing of this prize, secured an option of one-half interest for S2,50O.- 600 for short time, and hastening east ward, he induced a number of English in New York to invest, and they took it at this price, .he four original owners de- clining to sell the remaining half at any price,. This is the famous Horn Silver Mine or New Bonanza" around which a town has in few months cluste' ed called Frisco" and to which one mine the Utah Southern Railroad will this sum mer be extended nearly 800 miles-Pitts b..rq Ttkgrdph.

hit AGAIN.

The Olympia Transcript takes up a
subject hitherto considered by the In.
TELLIdENcER, and thus discourses upon
it,
We have noticed heretofore some Of
the exorbitant sums charged by the
Commissioners Of several counties for
their services at the May term. Their
excuse, % stated by one Of their organs,
is that they were obliged to keep the
assessment roll open for fifteen days for
public inspection. 1t is true, the assess.
ment roll has to be kept open for that
length Of time. but it does not necessi.
tate the Court to be kept in session. In
Thurs.on. Lewis, Chehalis, and some
other counties. the Commissioners fin.
ished the general business of the term
in not over four days and adjourned till
the end Of fifteen days. when they met
one day more to equalizc the assessment.
Their charges have not averaged 800
per county. and these counties have
had as much business as those which
were in session the whole fifteen DAYS.
OF the latter. Pierce county paid its
Commissioners S2O3 20; Whatcom, $225
80; and King $3.50. Here Was from 800
to $3.50 taken for services from each
county which it is fair to believe should
not have been paid. One Of these couu.
ties repudiated half Of its printing bill,
which we have no doubt was as honestly
earned as were the double amounts
which the Commissioners drew for their
own services.

The next annual gathering Of the
American Pathological Society will be
held in tho city Of Rochester, State Of
New York. 1t will commence on the
morning of September 18th and con-
.inue three days. For the deliberations
Of the Society the city OF Rochester
has granted the free use Of their Coun
Gil Chamber, and for the exhibition Of
fruits the free use of the grounds Of the
Western New York Agricultural Society
has been given. 1t is hoped to make
the exhibition Of 1879 the most extensive
and complete Of any in the history Of
tho Society, which is now in the seven
teenth year of its existence. All hOrti-
cultural. genealogical and agricultural
societies in the United States and Can
ada are invited to send delegations as
large as they may doem expedient. and
all persons Interested in the cultivation
of fruits are invited to take seats as
members of the Convention. Among
tho Vice Presidents Of this Society we
notice the name of Washington B.um(s)
Of Seabeck. W. T., AID among the mem
bers Ct its Fruit Committee the name
Of C. w. Lawton Of Seattle. A. J. Du-

Presidency and on the Fruit Committee.

ident of the Society, and Robert Man
ming. of Salem. Massachusetts, is Sec

It strikes us that it would be very
excellent idea for Washington Territory
to be represented in that assembly.

however, would be evidence indisputa-
bic. The cloquence Of such silen.
witnesses would tell more in our favor
than The tongues of score Of orators

to take this matter in handY We
cannot believe that our people intend
letting their light forever remain hid
