ITEMS OF MINING NEWS.

More copper mines are reported in the
Juniper range, Arizona.
Twenty million dollars of Eastern capital
have been invested in Western mines dur
ing the past year.
In the mining districts bordering Wood
river, Idaho, over three hundred locations
are said to have been recorded last summer
and fall.
In all the quartz camps of Idaho Terri
tory where work is going on, good reports
come from the mines, and this season will
see great revival of the mining interests
all over Idaho.
For the past week County Recorder
CROUCH, of Inyo, has had his hands full in
recording location notices and deeds to
mining properties in Beyeridge, Deep
Spring, Swansea, and other districts
Tuscarora, New, is excited over strike
in the Navajo mine. The Iimes-ReUie,o
says specimen of the ore assayed 81, 800
per ton, and it is said that there is we'll
defined vein of it. 1t is considered the
biggest find since the Belle Isle strike of a
year ago.
Silver ore has been discovered at various
points on or near the great Allegheny chain
of mountains in Vermont, Pennsylvania,
Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia, and
these discoveries, taken in connection with
the gold mines long known to exist in Vir-
glnia, North Carolina and Georgia, are
sufficient to indicate that both the precious
metals must abound in those mountain
regions of the Atlantic States to much
greater extent than has been known or
supposed.
In sinking we'll at the proposed town
of Keller, Inyo county, Cal, an abundance
of water was struck at depth of 33 feet.
The ground toward the bottom of the well
is perfect river wash, out of which fair
''color" of gold can be obtained in nearly
every pay of it. Captain Keller is firmly
of the opinion that it was the ancient
channel of Owens river or some antedilu-
Wan stream which debouched into the
Gulf of California.
W. H. Darling, of Blue Hill, is said to
be the largest individual owner of mining
property in Maine. He has been searching
among the rocks for the past ten or twelve
years, owns acres of them, and is constant
ly buying more. A few years ago, says the
Journal, of Augusta, he was compare
| lively poor, and was known as old Man
Darling;' later he began to talk of copper
and silver as existing in paying quantities
in the rocks at Blue Hill, and he became
known as "Old Crazy Darling ;" still later
he was saluted as esquire Darling" and
to- day he is ''Colonel" Darling, the bon
ANA king of Maine, with large wealth and
book.keepers galore.

THE BLAINE CANVASS.

Blaine's prospects are steadily brighten
ing thus far, though of course it is impos-
sible to conjecture what turn they may yet
take. 1t is now conceded that he will have
the entire Maryland delegation, while he
is given half the South Carolina delegation,
and in Illinois he is believed to have the
Convention despite the efforts of Logan
and company. The Grant men have
counted throughout upon securing every
Southern delegation, but it is already APP
parent that this programme cannot be
carried out. Sherman will have some
Southern votes, and Blaine will have some,
and whatever either of them get weakens
Grant. The Generals Texas speech is
doing his boom a great deal Of harm, for it
is dissipating the prevalent idea of the
"strong man government in the South,
and thus stultifying the Stalwarts, who
have been preaching that doctrine all
along. Grant has probably the largest
corps of trained workers y on his side,
but Blaine is a very experienced and adroit
politician, and his friends are animated by
an enthusiasm which is conspicuous by its
absence on the other side. As the canvass
proceeds it becomes more interesting and
exciting

BIMETALLIsM IN GERMANY.

German finance and fiscal science have
never attained high reputation, and the
indications are that they will not for some
time to come afford much valuable instruc-
ton to the world, unless it is from the
standpoint of the Z" shocking example" 1t
is true that there have been and are emf
nent German writers on finance. as, for ex-
ample, Soetbeer, but the best advice of such
men has seldom been followed, and when.
ever fancied political exigencies clashed
with the teachings OF science, the latter
have always been sacrificed. OF late Ger
man scientists have developed several va
carries OF kind which do not occur save
in nations whose governmental experience
is too limited to provide them with the
necessary evidences of the failure of fall
lacy. Germany is the youngest of Euro
pean nations in political experience, and it
is therefore natural that she should 90
astray, especially when it is considered
that she has had no opportunity
of testing great state questions in
scientific way. Her latest scientific
school appears TO be in the main reaction
against Socialism, and 1t takes the shape of
an extravagant laudation of Capitalization,
with strong leaning toward despotism of
the most lntolerant character. 1t Is this
school which has recently been crusading
so fiercely against the Jews, and it is prob-
ably to this school that the new crotchet
in favor of bimetallism is attributable.
The German scientists Tor sciolists) who
have adopted the new currency craze, hold

THE MOUNTAIN VIEW AFFAIR. The
following is from the San Jose Herald of
April 2Sth:
The alleged attempted murder of Mrs.
Paul, of Mountain View, is still the topic
of much conversation. Mrs. Paul has made
another statement which does not differ
materially from that published in the Her.
aid of Monday. In addition she says that
the assassin made improper proposals to
her before attempting her life, and prom
ised he would spare her if she would ac-
company HIM to Mexico. The great in
terest taken by the community in the
matter induced ex-Sheriff Harris, Sheriff
Williams and several detectives to visit the
scene of the alleged attempted assassina-
ton, for the purpose of unraveiing the
mystery. Mrs. Paul made her statement,
and although cross-examined at length,
she did not contradict herself In any par
ticular. There are circumstances, how
ever, which throw doubt upon her story.
An examination of the wound, in the fiesby
part of the thigh, where she claims to have
been shot, shows that it must have been
made by something other than pistol
There were powder marks upon her cloth
ing, but they had the appearance Of having
been put on with the fingers. She states
that she was struck on the head with the
pistol, but there were no wounds found ex-
cept slight scratch and, also, that three
shots were fired at her with pistol having
the appearance of an English bulldog. A
careful examination of the premises failed
to show any trace of bullet marks except
that of one fired from her own pistol, which
was % calibre Her little son, aged ten
years heard only one shot. The officers
declined to make any further investigation,
which had the effect of throwing doubt
upon the whole story.

MONTEREY.
The New Hotel del Monte, Erected by the
Railroad Company.

The New HOTEL DEL MonJe, hfecCeQ by the
Railroad Company.
Monterey, which has recently exper:-
enced a decided social and business i'm
provement in consequence of the compile
ton of the Bay and Coast Railroad, is
about to derive yet further advantages by
the acquisition of a new and elegant hotel.
When finished, the hotel will be given into
the management of George Schoenwald,
formerly of the Lick House of San Fran
cisco. The date of its opening has been
fixed for the lst of June, when the resi-
dents of Monterey anticipate new era of
prosperity. The Hotel del Monte is very
picturesquely located amid grove of pine
and cypress trees, about one mile distant
from the town. 1t is tastefuly and con-
veniently constructed, is two stories in
height, completely encircled by a wide
veranda, and will accommodate, with its
outlying cottages, fully 500 guests. A lit
tie lake, giving facilities for sailing and
fishing, delightful park and commodi-
Gus bath house on the beach, each and all
enhance the natural and artificial attrac-
tons of the hotel, and promise to realize
the designs of its managers and make it
the Long Branch of California. The hotel
has also fine bowling alley and billiard
parlor, and stables where guests can pro-
cure fast and stylish teams for drive on
the smooth and excellent beach road, ex-
tending for distance of II miles. From
the tower of the hotel one gets good view
of a beautiful rolling country, Carmel Bay,
the old Capital of California, Point Lobos,
Point Pinos, the lighthouse at Moss Beach,
and the vast and mighty ocean. In close
proximity to the hotel is the railroad COM
pany's depot. The surroundings of Monterey
are rarely picturesque and romantic, and
now that it has such desirable, well ap-
pointed and costly hotel, the town may
well expect to become in short time one
of the favorite seaside resorts for tourists
and metropolitans on the Pacific Coast.

TILDEN IN CINCINNATI.

Mr.. Tilden's usual good fortune did not
attend him in the Democratic State Con-
vention of Cincinnati. An obstinate and
impracticable delegate insisted upon max
ing determined assault upon the slate
which had been carefully prepared, and
having delivered philippe against Mr..
Tilden, moved that no candidate should
be put in nomination who could not COM
mand the support of the entire Democratic
party. This was characterized as 'ssre-
brand, and the Convention was in immi-
nent danger of a confagration when the
Chairman, with great presence of mind,
left his seat, put motion to table all res
olutions, resumed his gavel and declared it
carried, before the hostile factions could
realize what was done As it was stated
on the floor that ten of the twelve dele
gates chosen were for Tilden anyhow, per-
sps Mr.. Blakes attack upon that gentle
n will not discomfort him much, but 1t

v of action which it is obviously
ar interest to procure the SEM

TRYING TO INVENT AN Issue"


Congressman Davis of West Virginia
appears to have expended good deal of
the public money and his own time in
hunting for great fraud in the national
treasury which obstinately battles his re-
searches. He has, or says be has, an
abiding conviction that somebody has
stolen several hundreds of millions of
dollars, yet, though he has been hard at
work on the inquiry for two years, he has
found nothing Of suspicious nature but
sundry erasures and changes in the books
of the Treasury which other members say
have been explained long ago. tbs posi-
BILE that Mr. Davis has a real belief that he
is destined to find huge fraud, or it may
be that he has been endeavoring to invent
one of those campaign issues which his
party stands so much in need of just now.
Certainly the time at which his committee
makes its abortive report seems to
strengthen the suspicion that he has been
seeking to manufacture an issue. Had
there existed real leak in the Treasury,
it would have been scarcely possible for a
hostile partizan committee to search for it
two years without success.

UNI between silver and gold. They do this,
of necessity, in utter contempt of the ex-
perience of mankind, but they find support
for their disregard of experimental proof
in the theory that the abandonment OF the
single standard is somehow necessary to
the empire, and that therefore it will sue
coed. Among people who have already got
the length of indorsing Capitalization and
race persecution, this kind of reasoning is
likely to appearquite sound. tits interesting
toobserve the general resemblance between
the new German school and our own aGvo-
Gates of the "strong man theory of govern
ment Prince Bismarck is of course the
German strong man." and his ideas,
which on finance and fiscal science have
always been singularly crude, are accepted
by them as somehow part of the order of
the universe, to be taken for granted, and
not to be questioned or resisted. 1t is
probable that if the Chancellor should de-
eide upon the revival of bimetallism, his
policy will carry, and in that event the
United States will be thrown into fresh
silver agitation, though the first effect
would be to raise the value of our 'buz-
"zard dollars, and so at once to stimu-
late and alarm the silver men. However,
things do not proceed so rapidly in Ger
many that there will not be ample time to
observe the progress of the new movement
in favor of bimetallism, and to judge
what effect it is likely, if successful, to
have upon our own currency. That it can
only produce mischief for Germany is,
however, not at all doubtful

The EDISON ORE MILLS.

The following is from the Oroville Me1..
curry Major Frank Mclaughlin, mining
expert of the Edison Ore Milling Company
says that the object of his present visit to
this city was to ascertain the cost of ma
terial needed to construct the mill and
machinery, select location for the works,
and also to contract for their erection. If
the materials can be purchased on this
coast at the same figures that they can be
delivered here from the East, the prefer
ence will be shown to local dealers In the
articles. The works will be in operation
by the middle of August. The tailIngs and
black sand Will be concentrated at the
mines and then be transported in large
freight wagons to the mill, where the gold
will be extracted by an electro chemical
process. The company does not in
tend to purchase either tailings or
black sand, but will haul them to
the mill and work them for share of the
gold, free of expense to the parties from
whose mine they are taken. They do not
even expect the miner to save either the
tailings or sand for them, but will make
their own arrangement for doing so where
ever the privilege is granted. Mr. Nc
Laughlin also says: 1.-The company comes
here of its own free will. 1t has ample
capital to carry out its intentions. No
body is asked to invest in it. Not one
share of the stock is for sale. 1t cares
nothing for public opinion, and the gentle
men who have put their capital into the
scheme are perfectly willing to abide the
result of Edisons genius. Whatever they
see fit to purchase will be promptly paid
for. In short, it is absolutely independent
proposing to save only that which the
miner cannot-and suffers no annoyance
by the opinions of ignorant people, whether
uttered in private or public capacity"

The Lower Sacramento Another Broken
Levee-A serious Loss.

RIO VISTA, April 295h.-The interests of
this community suffered severely yesterday
in the total loss of the Toland levee. A force
of men had been working heroically to save
the levee for days, even having their meals
brought to them, that they might not for a
moment be absent from their posts; but not
withstanding their efforts, an irreparable
break occurred about 10 o'clock. The flooded
district comprises nearly 5 900 acres, about
half of which was under cultivation and in a
most fourishing condition. The owners of
these ruired crops are Woodworking men,
all of whom are closely allied to
the business interests If this COM
munity. Andrus Island had an almost
miraculous escape from inundation. Yes
terday about l o'clock A. NJ. between 20 and
so feet of the levee gave way, and through
this break the water poured with terrific
velocity The alarm spread rapidly, and
within an hour 200 men had gathered from
different parts of the island. By almost
superhuman efforts, working in water up to
their waists, they constructed bulkhead of
sand-b bags on the bank oItside the levee and,
sheltered by this, set about repairing the
break. They succeeded so well that it is now
thought TO be as strong as any other part of
the levee. The river is falling slowly, and if
the weather remains dry and calm no further
danger Is apprehended.
