The industrial prosperity or adversity does
not so much depend on what kind OF money
we have, but on the quantity of it.. If there
were a thousand millions of counterfeit green
backs in circulation, so that they circulated,
tbev would perform all the offices and func-
tions that thousand millions of genuine dol
lars could perform, even if they were gold
dollars. Here is the key to very important
financial fact, into which it would be well for
all Greenbackers to inquire most seriously
GIeenbdck or-CHTonicIe.
The important financial fact OF which the
above is the key is that people will take
the greenback so long as they believe that 1t
is genuine promise of responsible party
to pay dollar, and no longer. They accept
it on the strength of the promise and not be-
cause they believe it is worth anything in
itself.

Austin Reveille ism: The Alexander

Austin Reveille, 10Th: The Alexander
mine at Grantsyille shipped yesterday
eight bsrs of bullion valued at 81 ,436.76.
TIE mine looks better than ever and il
being explored to the northern boundary,
where q magnificent vein OF rich ore is
being opened, and from which was taken
the ore which is at present going through
the mill.
Reno Journal: 1t is pretty well ad-
mitted fact that this furnace will work
any ore found in this county, for about
every kind has been thoroughly tested
and the result seen by the miners. Mr..
Tredway, who has the right OF this
county, proposes to 60 to Sacramento in
few days to examine the furnace in
active operation there and then return
and build one here, just as soon as it is
possible.
Paradise Reporter: From Robert
Smith, Distric. Recorder of Rebel Creek,
we learn that in the Moonlight some
very rich chloride ore has been struck !;
also that the Ohio Company has let a
contract to sink an additional twenty
feet on its ledge. He tells US that if the
ledge improves as much in the next
twenty feet as it has in the depth already
attained, the mine will be one of the
richest in the county.
The Typo Sun, speaking Of the Typo
mine. says: The mill was started week
ago and thus far has run steadily. The
ores have been chlorodized to even a
higher percentage than was expected and
the amalgamations give high, and profit
able returns. This is cheering news, as
there is enough milling ore in sight to
keep the mill running for years to come.
Two rich bars of bullion have been pro-
duced this week.
Paradise Reporter: On Thursday last,
two emigrants, whose names We could
not learn, were employed by Henry
Warren to cut wood on the head of Cot.
tonwood Creek. about four miles from
town. After hard days work, aud
while preparing supper, several gun
shots were heard by them, the bullet

terday to investigate the matter, and as
We go to press have not returned.
Ward Reflex: Recent advices from
Hamilton state that the Jennie A min.
ing property is looking better than ever.
and that recent assays of the ore gives as
high as $50 per ton in gold, and in.
creases in this metal as depth is obtained.
Work on the Henry Tunnel has also
been resumed under the supervision Of
some capitalists from Norfolk. Virginia,
who propose to thoroughly carry out the
views of the original locators, and push
to completion this important enterprise
We are glad to note these signs of i'm

THE MORMON GOLD PLATES.

The following letter, addressed to q
gentleman in Utah, and published in the
Ogden freeman. will reflect that light
upon the discovery Of the Kinderhook
plates which so many have long sought:

Mr.. -: received your letter in
regard TO those plates, will say in an
swer that they are bumbug. gotten up

is dead. Wiley may be living. He was
Missonrian. None OF the nine persons
who signed the certificate knew the
secret except Wiley and myself. There
were two Mormon elders present when
the plates were found. Their names
were Ward and Sharp. A man by the
name Of Savage, of Quincy, under an as
sumed name. borrowed the plates OF
Wiley to show them to friends there, and
took them to Joe Smith. After they
were returned. Wiley gave them to Prof.
Mcdowell. of st. Louis, Mo-, for his
museum, but since McDowell's death we
heard they were taken to the Chicago
Medical College and placed in the mu-
scum. BY writing to Prof. John Hodgen,
of St. Louis, you may find out where
they are. and also II Wiley is still living
He was graduate of that college.
DR.. Harris was not Mormon. He
was chemist, and took the rust of the
plates when found. The Doctor is dead.
Wiley was not Mormon.

sion that the plates were made for joke.

tions and given you the particulars con-
corning them. Yours respectfully,
W. FUaATE.
P.S.-As father is too old and nervous
to write, be requested me to answer. and
the above is written as be directed.
MATTE FUGATE.
Your letter came to Mount Sterling,
and as we moved from there several
years ago, we did not get it until few
days ago. consequently the delay in an
swering.
I will give the reason or cause of the
joke. We were reading Pratts prophecy,
that truth yet was to spring up out Of
the earth, and, as they were digging at
Kinderhook, we concluded to make the
plates, and dug down about eight feet
and came TO fiat rock and put them
under it. They were fastened together
with rust made of nitric acid. lead and
rusty iron. The hieroglyphics were i'm
pressions made in beeswax and filed
with nitric acid and placed on the plates.
We understood Joe Smith said they
would make book of 1900 pages. but
he would not agree to translate them
until they we're sent to the Antiquarian
Society at Philadelphia, France and
England. They were sent. and the an-
swer was that there were no such hero
glyphics known, and if there ever had
been they had long since passed away.
Then Smith began his translation
w. FUaATE.
