GOLDEN WORDS.

Satire is apt to be a glass in which we see
every face but Our own
He who says there Is no such thing as an
honest man, you may be sure, is himself a
knave.
If a man maketh me keep my distance, the
comfort is he keepeth his at the same time.
If you would have a faithful servant, and
one that you like, serve yourself.
There is no trait more valuable than a de-
termination to persevere when the right thing
is to be accomplished.
Men will never know us by our faith, for
That is within us they know us by our work,
which is visible to them.
The universe is but one great city, full of
beloved ones, divine and human, by nature
endeared to each other.
He that has really felt the bitterness of sin
will fear to commit it and he that hath felt
the sweetness of mercy will fear to offend it.

United States VS.. Geo. w. Fox.

In this case, yesterday morning, Judge
Wade gave his instructions to the jury. The
instructions were very full and able, covering
all the legal points involved in clear, terse,
and explicit language, and with utmost fair
ness. At the conclusion of the instructions,
E. W. Toole, ESQ.,, one of the counsels for the
defense, announced That in view of the full
instructions Of the court, the attorneys for the
defense were willing to submit the case to the
jury without argument. u. S. Attorney An
drews replied that his counsel and himself
felt it their duty to address tie jury briefly,
but were willing that the arguments should be
limited to two hours on each side. Mr.. Toole
then said that if there was to be any argu-
ment, he preferred that it should not be
limited, and the argument proceeded with
that understanding. Mr.. Andrews then
opened the argument for the prosecution in a
plain, pointed aud forcible speech, occupying
the greater part of the forenoon. In the after
noon, Mr.. DeWolf addressed the jury in be-
half of the defense, and in doing so confirmed
the favorable opinion already formed of him
as an able jurist and advocate. At the con-
conclusion of Mr.. DeWolf's speech, the court
adjourned until Friday neutrality-suspicious.

Postmaster General Key, in his annual re-
port, will recommend Congress to provide by
law for the payment of a limited indemnity
for losses of registered articles in transmits
sion through the mails. This course should
long ago have been adopted. By accepting
registered letters the Government ought to be
bound, IN consideration of the compens alton,
in addition to the regular postage which is
received, to indemnify the sender in case his
package was lost through the negligence of
the Postoffice Department, or through any
accident over which the sender had no COR
troll. Simple justice will dictate such a course.
A private person is compelled to pay for
losses under these circumstances Why, then,
should not the Government? The drain on
the Treasury will as a whole be very slight,
and the relief to suffering individuals will be
very great. Congress should not delay in
acting favorably upon the Postmaster-Gen-
erals recommendation.

THE MINING

Never in the previous history of this queen
OF mining camps has there been expressed so
much confidence in its future greatness as at
the present time, and never have the business
prospects Of the w been more encouraging.
Previous to the explorations in the Alice
mine below the water level, general appre-
hension existed that good paying ore did not
go down, that the point where the pumps
would be called into service would be the
limit of profitable operations. Even if the
~permanence and extent of the ore bodies be-
low the water mark should be established, it
was argued by a few skeptical men who were
unfortunate enough to possess no ground,
that the assay value of the ore would decrease
as developments progressed downward, and
that at no considerable depth it would carry
too little silver to pay the cost of reduction.
They were careful to give no utterance to
their bases for such conclusions, fearing,
doubtless, that future developments would
prove them to be fools as well as prophets of
no divinity. The apprehension was we'll
grounded; for if any fears were entertained
as TO the future of the camp, they have been
happily and forever dissipated, as no intelli-
gent observer in the light of recent develop
ments can longer entertain a reasonable
doubt Of the almost boundless extent of our
resources. At a depth of four hundred feet
in the Alice, far below the water level, the
ore body is fully twelve feet thick being mas
siye, well defined and rich. The prospects in
the lower levels of the Gagnon, though the
depth of the shaft is not so grsat as in the
Alice, are equally encouraging, the ore being
of remarkably uniform richness and extent.
That the productive capacity oftIe Lexington,
Burlington and other great properties is con-
stantly increasing as downward development
is pushed, is best evidenced by the amount of
their daily output. In fact it may be gener-
ally stated that with few exceptions in all the
leading properties, the ore increases in value,
(though its character is somewhat changed), as
depth is attained, as any unbelieyer if there
are any left in the camp, can satisfy himself
by personal examination. The utter absurd
iy therefore OF the supposition that future
Developments are likely to prove Improbable,
is clearly manifest, M as a result indications
are visible on every hand that next spring
will see Butte enjoying a deserved and wide

dignitaries. The bride was richly dressed in
white, and wore a dladem of brilliants and

one of the finest theatres on the continent.
The bodies of Wright and family have

estimated at 100000. Daniel Bandman,
tragedian, vino was filling an engagement at

Our Metal Product.

According to the records in 1858, S65, OOO,-
600 in gold were produced in this country ; in
1854, only 100000, 900, and in 1857, only $685.
OOO,OOO. During these years there is no
account OF the silver production. Our official
records are blank, and our total bullion pro-
ducts are IN the most precious yellow metal.
In 1858, however, the official estimate is $780,
600 for the production of silver and $500, O00,-
600 for the production of gold. In 1850 the
silver product was only 100000, and in 1860
only 100000. In 1861, however, there was
S2,O0O,OCO of silver produced to $43,000,00O of
gold, and in 1868, SS,500,OOO in silver to $40
100000 in gold. The production of silver has
been gradually rising, until in 1878 it reached
nearly $36,OOO,OOO while the gold product
was a trifle more. In 1878 the silver produc-
ton was 4 100000, and the gold production
S50,000,000. 1t will be noticed that in the
figures we have given that the proportion of
silver is gradually rising, and no doubt, in the
not distant future, the silver product will be
larger than the gold product of the country.
In deed, it must be borne in mind that the
gold product of the world is decreasing.
There is probably less gold in circulation to-
day than ten years ago. Indeed, gold was
always the more fluctuating metal, being
more often found in great quantities, and then
the supply suddenly ceasing, but the produc-
ton of silver in this country while it had
been steadily rising, presents a uniform
advance and takes one step backward. 1t is
only twenty years since we have commenced
to produce silver in the United States, and
the production has steadily risen from $780,
600 to $49,O00,00O, while w produced more
gold by ten or fifteen million in '53 and '55
than we did in IT ard 'TS.-Graphic.

Developments i'm the Blum Case.
New Northwest 2sth.

New NORTH est Zotn' $50
The only developments in the Blum case
the past week have been that the Sands Bros.
have offered to buy all the claims of the cred
itors at 40 cents cash. The San Francisco
creditors, represented by Mr.. Naphtaly, re-
fused this. The San Francisco creditors then
took up the $4,000 Donnell, Clark q Lara
bic mortgage and got possession of the prop
erty covered by it. The goods were at once
removed and stored. We learn that Sands
Bros. are about to replevin the goods under
attachment, giving bonds in the sum OF $14O,-
900. The San Francisco men will then have
$4,000 to hold the goods. This they are
preparing to do. Mr.. Naphtaly is still here
managing the case, and seems to be as fruitful
in resources as he is ~resolute in execution.
He expresses the belief that Mr.. Blum's prop
property is worth $4,000 more than the just
liabilities, and is going to fight it out on that
line. 1t will be an interesting case when it
gets to court. "

spread fame. 1t is already certain that sew
eral mammoth enterprises will be ~inaugura-
ted. A great many sales have been recorded
during the past summer, the purchasing par
ties being men of capital, who. may be relied
upon to carry their several enterprises to a
successful issue. Extensive preparations are
being made by the representatives of the New
York Copper Company for a large business
which will undoubtedly prove profitable to
the interested parties, for it is demonstrated
that the copper mines of this district can be
made to return heavy profits. In all likelihood
a smel.er and refinery will be erected in the
early spring, and work prosecuted with all
possible energy. 1t is also expected that
Messrs. Largely & Armstrong will put up a
mill to work ore from the famous Black Chief
ledge, and as soon as the weather will permit
the Importation Of machinery, there is little
doubt that the Alice Company will begin the
erection of a forty-stamp mill, their present
reducing facilities, extensive as they are, being
altogether unequal to the handling of a 1.-THE
of the ore which abounds in such unmeasured
abundance in the Alice bonanza.
The present prosperity of the camp is
known 10 all who live here, the bullion ship
ments being in themselves volumes of in
formation to ali who live outside. We can
therefore consclentiously recommend and en-
courage the promised extension of the min
ing industry. Let us solicit by promises
which can be fulfilled, the still further invest
ment of outside capital. Let the resources Of
the camp be made known in moneyed circles.
Let us invite intelligent examination, resort
ing none of the receptions customary in other
localities; and though last not least, let us
not forget to recognize the value of printers
ink as a necessary aid to the diffusion of facts.
If this is done, if all available capital can be
interested, the prediction may be ventured,
that years of unprecedented activity will fol-
low in the mining development Of his dis
trict, and that Butte will soon be celebrated
the world over as the Comstock city of Mon
tana.
