The Recky Mountain Ne,cs says: The
resources Of this State Colorado are just
beginning 20 be understood. In addition
to her valuable mines of gold, silver, coal.
ETC., there is very valuable mine OF mica
This mine lies in Deer Creek District,
Jefferson County, about twelve miles
south of Morrison. The claim is 1,5O0
feet long, and the ledge is from 100 to 200
feet wide and is known to extend
200 feet deep. The claim is owned by
Mr.. Samuel Sheppard. Two men car
take out 100 pounds per day. AMI the
sheets are large size. As mica sheets foui
by eight sell in New York at SS per pound
some idea of the value of this mine NAV
be had. Every such discovery adds to the
material wealth Of the State"

A Liberal General.

Gen. Sherman told Sir George Camp
bell that the Only war he would like +"
undertake would be one against the Mex
leans, to make them take back New Mex
leo and Arizona.
Any why does General Sherman think
the United States ought to give back New
Mexico and Arizona to Mexico? Those
two Territories are rich in minerals, con-
tain large areas of farming and grazing
lands and are destined to be great com
menwealths. Perhaps the General thinks
slso that we ought to make Mexico take
back Texas, California, Nevada and
Utah. Ariz>na and New Mexico give
less trouble to the Government than
louisiana and Mississippi, and cost less
than the Territories of Utah, Wyoming
or Dakota. General Sherman is altogeth-
er too liberal with United States territory
but we suppose the Sherman family owns
this country and can do what they like
with it.

How the AncieEts. Engraved
GemS.

A writer in Harper's Maqas,s for Sep
tember says We must remain as yet
some little in doubt as to the methods
employed by the old, artists to perfect
these miracles of taste. We havs, how
ever, the absolute certainty that these
ancient masters were familiar with the
diamond, and their best work was made as
ing this, the hardest OF all substances, as a
tool. A splntered fragment of the dia-
mond served as scraping tool, and they
were well acquainted with the drill.
Prehistoric mar worked drill at the very
commencement of his sexlstence. A Phe.
nician gem--a lion attacking q bull
shows how the drill was used. Anumber
OF circular depressions are found in the
Sem' which mark the extremties of the
figures. This was done not only for the
sake OF effect, but to show the artist the
limit of mis- work as to. depth. After the

Character OF Mining.

|
The american Exchange in an editorial
on the character OF mining, very truly
says "What is denominated q fever or
speculation in mining is called revival
in other enterprises. The gradual return
Of prosperity after long season of de
preston is giving newilife to nearly every
trade and industry in the country, and
unmistakable evidences of a revival OF
trade are met daily, and in almost every
portion of the country. That the mining
interest should share in the general revi-
val of business is not to be wondered at,
nor Is that fact to be conclusive of the
existenee of speculative fever in mining
any more than III any other business"
There Is determined prejudice on the
part OF many against any and every phase
of mining activity. and these parties will
generally point to numbers of cisap.
pointed friends, who, without either
knowledge or capital made undue haste
to reach mining district, where, to theil
imagination, boundfess wealth might be
gathered as sands from the sea shore
These croakers forget that the same lack
of fitness and wisdom in any other field
would be productive Of the same results.
Those who "most loudly urge that rap
id advance in the price oil mining stocks
i. an indication of specuiation, and ls
simply gambling trick, take most sub.
dime comfort from the announcement of a
sudden ri.e-in real estate or an advance
IN Government or railroad securities
When contracts for the sale OF real estate
were sold for s o . more than the pur-
chase price, WITHIN twenty-four. hours OF
their execution, it was generally ac-
ceoted fact that real estate was a good in
yestmemt. The fact that this advance
Was due to NJ cxtlaneous circum stances,
but depended entirely upon the yiexs Or
hopes of real estate dea,ers did not il any
way detract from the importance of the
transaction. 1t would, however. be bsurd
To maintain that the value of real estate
as an Investment shOG,d b denied DC
CAUSE of he speculation which attaches
to it dudng prosperous times"
The set that speculation aitache-, iu
some degree, to mining upcrali an, c+,-
not BE- urged sa al objection, because no
business or profession is free from the
allurements of speculation. There Is no
absolute certainty in any business, there
must be risk and speculation.
Granting, then, the existence of spec.
ulation as connected with mining inter
ests, it cannot, or at least ought Eot, to
detract from the substantial qualities
which 60 to make up a valuable business
enterprise. The existence of one cannot
indicate the absence Of the other. Dis
earding, then, the charge of speculation
what is there left to make mining less
an industry than any other business
The product of mining is said to be I'm
certain; so it may with equal force b'
said of farming. Yet the latter is consid
cred not only an honorable but a profit
able pursuit
The facts are. that mining as business
has at the present time acquired a char
acter and a prominence that assures it
place with the most important industrie
, of the country. 'e-

A HORRIBLE discovery was made on Mon
day by Samuel CraDdall, a farmer living .
fe miles south OF Terre Haute, Indiana.
He was informed that the family of Thomas
Stauly was very sick aud they desired his
help. He immed lately started for their
house and found, to bis horror, tha. The
family, consisting OF eight persons, father
and mother and six children, were poisoned
and that death would be the result. A
physician WAS summoned and upon investi-
CATION it was found that they had, throug h
some mistake, mixed jamestown weed idd-
tIrG SfrGm0UfUm) with there food and
that all had paItakcn Of it. Stanley died
on Monday night and the others are not
expected to survive. The rest Of the un-
fortunate family have been taken to the
pOOIhOuse.

The bill fixing the compensation of
members of the Legislature, was discussed
at length in the House during the sessions
of two days last week, and the subject
would again come up on Wednesday last.
The bill reduces the salary for a session of
one hundred days from 81, 900, the present
amount, to $500, aud provides that for each
day over 100 days, and not exceeding 80
days, member shall receive IS per day.
Among the amendments offered to the bill
was one fixing the payfor a session atS1, 200,
no matter what the length of The session
may be, and that no member shall receive
anypOstage leach one now gets 800 in post
age stsmps), stationery(now S25), and mile
age, .he latter being 90 cents mile in go
ing to and returning from Harrisburg
The proposition contained in this amend
ment Of a fixed salary, whether the session
be long or short, is undoubtedly the cor
rect one. When the Legislature passed
the act Of 1874, as required by The new
constitution, fixing the compensation at
81, 200, with a proviso that after the expir-
alton of one hundred days the compensa-
tion should be ten dollars per day, not to
exceed ffty days. it offered premium of
$500 foT SESSIONS of one hundred and fifty
days. The session OF last year was only
six days less than that, the present session
promises to be equally as lengthy, and SO
will all future sessions be under the present
law. Nor does the proposed new act re-
move the temptation, since it offers
bonus Of $s, instead Of $40, per day for
an extended session of $50 days. Each
member of the Legislature now costs the
State about 81, 600 a session, which in
cludes salary, postage, stationery and
mileage. We do not undertake TO say
what the salary ought to be, bat insist
that it should be fixed at definite amount,
without any dependence whatever on the
duration of the session. It is perfectly
plain that il even 81 200 was the amount,
and all extras, such as 800 for postage
stamps when no member spends the one
fourth of it, we're excluded, the State
would save very nearly one hundred thou
sand dollars each session. 1t is an Insult
to man OF intelligence to say that the
Legislature cannot do all the necessary
business required of it in a hundred days,
and that fact would be made very manifest
if the salary was fixed at certain amount
Tor the session. Not tithe of the assorted
aud fancy legislation that is now pending
in the two houses would ever be dreamed
Of If the session could be restricted to a
reasonable limit by a fixed compensation.
The passage of the bill now in the House
will no. cure the evil of long sessions. but
would just as certainly operate as an in
ducsment to them as the act Of 1874 now
does. The new bill is good subject upon
which to deliver speeches for home con-
sumption, and we are strongly of the be-
lief that such will be the only outcome of
this spasmodic effort at retrenehment and
reform in the enormous annual legislative
expenses of the State.

boasted they would, to any troublesome
extent az the organization Of the House on

cast their votes 13J for the man Hendrick
B. Wright, who says he esteems it an
honor to be called demagogue. Randall
