but I asked the young man to explain HIM
self. why he answered, 4 took those an
swers you sent nae, and wrote 'em down in
the album of q young lady who has hereto
fore held me in the highest esteem. Well,
day or two afterward I found on another
page, written before mine, the same set OF
answers, word for word, which you had sent
me- I was hard on the young chap, for, you
see, being in hurry, had sent him dup
licate of the answers which had previously
sold to somebody else. But, as rule, am
very careful not to dispose of the same wares
twice. In the way of lectures, have written
great many of them on all sorts of sub
jects, from travels in Europe to temperance.
I recently did an address for Sunday school
superintendent, and I have furnished any
number of prize essays and graduating ora
tons for schools and college boys. On q
few occasions have even furnished minis
tiers with sermons, and think I got good
deal of spiritual good from listening to one
of my own discourses preached by a young
clergyman"
"Do you have fixed schedule of prices
for your work."
"No. The charges ara made to depend
on the ability of the customer to pay. I
once received ten dollars for what made three
lines in newspaper print. But that, of
course, was not in my regular line
of work. The most amusing
client I ever had was newly
fedged alumnus from Western college.
He had come on to New York to adopt the
profession of journalism as he put it. The
height of his ambition was to get place on
the Tribune to do the sentimental editorials.
His father was rich drover, so the boy was
not troubled about money matters. Then he
had letters from well known men, vouching
for his eminent responsibility. After per-
sistent application, they finally told him at
the Tribune Office that he might write up a
half-column article on any subject that he
pleased, and that if it passed muster they
would print it. Straightway upon this
promise the collegian came to me. did the
job for him, charged him $40 and the arti-
Gle was duly printed. The Tribune paid
hia $3.50. He was not over bright, but he
reached the wise conclusion that the profess
sion of journalism would't pay on those
terms. So he went back to his home. I
sincerely wish he had remained here.''

amendment, stated he offered it for the pur-
pose of preventing the offering of claptrap and

A District Attorney Caught on the Fly-He
Says Grant is the Coming Man-Wash-
burn Gives 1t Up-Donnel,y to Have His
Seat.
Among the guests registered at the
Merchants hotel, yesterday, was the Hon
John A. Stoyell. Mr.. Stoyell is United
States district attorney of Dakota, and is on
his return home, after sojourn of three
weeks in Washington.
The GLOBE and Mr.. Stoyell came in con-
+tact, yesterday, and both made pleasant
acquaintance-at at any rate they said
it when they parted, after talk
on politics. Mr.. Stoyell was
considered good subject for an interview
being SO recently from Washington, and
written up the talk sounded as follows:
chr. Stoyell, what's the political COM
plexion at the national capital?"
Everything is Grant. You hear nothing
else."
GLOW do Blaine's friends feel p
"They feel that tho Grant boom sweeps
everything now, but are hopeful that some
thing will turn up between now and the date
of the convention. Blaine's adherents are
aggressive and they intend working up 'the
third term against Grant"
Chow does Sherman stand p
"You hear nothing of him. He is prac-
tically out of the race"
''Did you hear anything of the Donnelly-
Washburn contest while in Westinghouse
eyes, a great deal?'
"What, if you please?'
"Donnelly is sure of the seat. I saw hin
frequently and also saw and talked with Mr.
Washburn. Mr.. Washburn practical
soles himself with the expressed
him in tho future; return him by an in
creased majority, maybe. I learned before
leaving Washington, that is last Tuesday
that the committee on elections would report
in favor of Donnelly almost unanimously
Thel only dissenting members are the two
Republicans on the subcommittee
The committee on elections consists O.
ten Democrats, four Republicans arc
one Greenbaoker, thus Donnelly gets thu
vote of two Republicans besides all the Dem
ocratic and the Greenback members.
MIR. Stoyell, continuing, said he had seer

had said Washburn told him that he hai

Lochren was very free and outspoken Will

| Washburn. Col. VIM. Crooks met also
he is firm DonnelIy man, and doubles
has done much in his behalf"
The conversation here drifted away from
politics, and shortly after the GLOBE and Nj
| Stoyell parted.
The object of Mr.. Stoyell's visit had ref
erence to efforts in behalf of the pardon o
John w. Proctor, who was convicted o
horse stealing at Fargo and sentenced to fiv
years imprisonment in the penitentiary. Th
transaction in which Proctor was concerned
was never clearly proven as regards his gull
and the efforts of his friends have bee,
directed towards securing his pardon.
Mr.. Stayell's visit was highly successful
and before leaving he had the satisfaction o
knowing that Proctor had been pardoned
The latter was released from prison at De
troit few days since and will probably pas
through st. Paul to-day.

Short.xighted Policy.

Some of the residents of Buel street OBJ
ject to filling in that ~thoroughfare. on the
ground that it will cause their property to
be inundated in case Of q flood. This is a
short-sighted policy. Should the cen ter Of
the street between Bateman and Clark be
raised two or three feet, it would carry the
water caused by any ordinary freshet
into the ditch through Bateman street,
while a heavy food would be thrown into
Main street by the Richmond dump. As
long as Buel street remains in its present
condition. it will be little better than a
sewer, and during the warm months those
who now object will be the most anxious
to have the grade raised.

We CLEAN the following facts in regard to
the mines in Mexico from Mr.. R. F.
S.raine's address to the Board Of Trade Of
the United States. Combining our present
views to the American continent, il is of
much interest to trace briefly the develop
ment of mining. The Spaniards who first
came to this continent began the working
OF gold and silver ores. The Potosi mines
in Mexico were discovered in 1915; and such
was their yield that mining industry in
other parts Of the world was powerfully
stimulated. In 154S, Zacatecas began to
pour fourth its treasures. Sambrerete fol-
lowed in 1856 and Guanajuato in 1858. The
important discovery was mad in 1857, by
a poor Mexican miner, of the process OF
matchmaking ores with quicksilver. Po-
tosi yielded 81, 500, 900 per annum during
the last years OF the 10th century. In 1926
and 1857 the vizcania and Jacal mines of
Zacatecas yielded 81, SOC, 900, then a large
sum. The bonanza of Real del Monte was
opened in 1852. yielding in % years Sis. 900,
600. The methods Of mining IN those times
W. re but rude and imperfect and the work
was constantly interrupted By wars and
Indian depredations, aud especially by rev.
olutinns, yet in spite of these serious draw
backs, Mexico was for a long course Of years
among the largest producers OF the precious
metals in the world. These Instructions
however, in time closed her mines entirely.

The Richmond.

cember 9th, Richmond stock commanded

from i,074 tor OF ore. During the week
the refinery produced dore bars to the
value of $50, 900. On Tuesday a special
telegram was received relative to the devel-
opments under the Tip Top ground. Il
states that the chamber has been opened
so feet by IS feet, and that the ore has been
followed upwards As feet. aud dowDwards
IS feet, at an angle Of 10 deg, the pitch
being northerly. The Manager dec. 81
reports that operations both in mine and
smelling works nave been carried on with
the usual regularity. The new ore body in
the 400, that referred TO in the special tel
egram, was at the date of the report OPEN
ing cut very well. The report adds that
this ore body is undoubtedly a continuation
OF the ore bodies discovered in the 600.
There was nothing new in any OF the
other ore bodies; they are looking very
well, and turning out the usual quantity
of ore. The furnaces are in good working
order, and smelling the usual quantities"

Simply

Commenting upon the refusal Of the
Bosrd to pardon Chartz, the Gold Hill
News says The real truth, sum and sub
stance Of the matter is just this The
movement itself has been undertaken too
soon; it was premature, and many of the
best friends Of Chartz nave so regarded it,
although they did not Withhold their sup
port. Chartz has so regarded it himself,
therefore the disappointment is not SO
great with him as it would otherwise
have been. He may, however, consider
it as a well-founded step toward the object
in view, for the time will come. in The not
far distant future, when his punishment
will be considered sufficient, the ends of
law and justice answered, and Alfred
Chartz will walk forth pardoned and free
from his prison walls.

For several days past a steady stream Of
water has been running down Poverty
Gulch, past the Jail aud Courthouse. and
at the corner Of Main and Bateman has
formed a junction with another stream
coming down Main street. 1t then crosses
Main aud follows Bateman to Buel, down
Buel to Haskell's, and thence into the
ditch. As a natural consequence, the sec
tom referred to are ankle deep in mud
during the day. and covered with ice at
night, making 1t extremely disagreeable
for pedestrians. ms man could, in a
couple Of hours, obviate this by turning
both streams into the sewer that runs from
the Courthouse to the ditch, and thus pre-
vent the most prominent portion Of the
town from being the most uncomfortable.
There is no money in the Town Fund with
which to pay for the work, but Mr.. Horn
has money at his disposal, belonging to the
Road Fund, and no complaint will be made
should he attend to it. He has put the
upper and lower portions Of Main street in
excellent condition. and a few dollars could
be judiciously expended in improving the
center Of the town.

Nevada Railroads..

The Reno Journal says that this State
shows progress in railroad building, and
before the close Of the year there will be
800 miles in the State. The Central Pacific
has 452 miles; the Virginia d Truckee has
SO miles, and the Eureka q Palisade 80,
making a total of 594 miles ; TO which can
now be added 80 miles from the new Aus
tin aud Battle Mountain road, and the
Bodie road will swell the total another
hundred, which will give us a mileage Of
784 miles, not including side tracks. As
the country grows we can expect two or
three new roads running through the
northern portion of the State, and some Of
the roads to be extended southwark.
