THE MINES.
BELL.


In the Bell the new ore shoot, the discov-
cry of which was reported last week, has been
penetrated for distance of 80 feet in the
6O-foot east drift. The character of the ore
remains unchanged, being still remarkably
rich and both impregnated and incrusted with
native silver. The whip shaft is being pushed
vigorously downward to make connection
with the south crosscut from the lower level
of the main shaft. In order to accomplish
this, the shaft, which is now 10 feet deep,
will have TO be continued to depth of 1S5
feet. After this the main level will be ex-
tended east from the bottom of the whim
shaft, the intention being to tap the new ore
shoot at a depth of 100 feet. Mr.. Meader is
intending at a very early day to import hoist
ing and pumping machinery, with which he
will he able to make better progress in the
development of the properly. 1t is also mere
than likely that new shaft will be started
between the north and south veins, from
which both will be worked.
ANsKLMo.
At the Anselmo everything is progressing
satisfactorily. The new shaft, which has
been connected by the extension of the 10
foot level with the old workings, is being
sunk with expedition on the man ledge,
| which, in the bottom, is two feet wide and of
excellent quality. The 10 foot drift running
west from this shaft is also being extended
on the same vein which averages about 20
inches in thickness and assays we'll. The
east shaft is being sunk rapidly.and the face
Of the 100 foot west drift is in body of fine
ore.
| STEVENS.
Forty feet is now the depth of the new
shaft, and the ledge continues to increase in
size and richness. The foot wall stratum
mentioned in our last report shows steady
increase in size and strength, and it is tolera-
bly, certain that the "horse" between that
and the foo. wall streak will. soon:pinch out
leaving a compact ore body with no barren
rock between the walls.

NOTES.

Yesterday morning the little son OF Mrs.
Peters, of Walkerville, was placed on the
stage bound for Washington, d. {. The un-
fortunate little fellow is deaf and dumb, and
a few charitable ladies and gentlemen have
made up purse to send him for a term OF
wears to the National Deaf and Dumb lnstl-
tute, Washington, d. G., where he will be
educated under the most efficient system
known for the instruction of deaf mutes.
The reputation of the institution is excellent
and the hope is entertained that he will come
back in few ears abundantly able to rem
der himself useful and self'supporting. His
grief at the thought of leaving his mother
who is a widow, was excessive, and quite
scene occurred near the stage office, but he
was finally placed on board the sleigh and his
fears to a great extent were speedily quietea.

Considerable money has for years
been appropriated annually by Ca-
gress for the psrpose of purchasing
choice varieties Of seeds for distribution
among the farmers throughout the
country. The custom heretofore has
been to have those seeds given to Con-
gressmen by the bagfull. The average
Congressman sent them by mail, under
MS frank, to his political friends, his
object being to make votes and iniu-
snce out Of what the Government-ih
whole eountry-paid for. A circular
received from Commissioner lie Duc,
who says he is not candidate for my
sf5ce, present or prospective, in the
pft Of the people, states that in thefu-
tre he will distribute the seeds him.
elf, regardless of the precedent esab-
Eshed by his predecessors in Office. For
d1is purpose, the. circular states, the
Commissioner has selected, upon the
testimony Of reliable witnesses, from
zen to twenty OF the best farmers in
every county in the United States, and
this without regard to. their political
preferences, or any other consideration
except that they be good farmers, who,
together with oranges, agricultural So
cieties, farmers clubs and like organi-
cations, are tc be made the chief re-
cipient of seeds.
This new departure ought TO meet
with the approval OF every fair-mirded
person. 1t is no, right that political
capital should bemade out Of the dis
tribution Of seeds purchased by the
Governments, as has been the custom
for many years. If the officers of the
Agricultural Society of this District,
will take the trouble to communi-
cate officially with the Department OF
Agriculture at Washington, they can
now procure for distribution among the
farmers choice varieties Of vegetables,
grains and othsr seeds adapted to this
climate. s<

At the extra session of Congress a bill
was passed repeating the law authoriz-
ing the appointment Of an unlimited
number Of United States Deputy Mar
shals ON election days. It was shown
by the record that in Philadelphia and
other large cities hundreds and in some
cases thousands OF these Marshals were
appointed at an expense to the Govern
nnent Of from FIVE to ten dollars each
for one days service. The bill was We
toed by Hayes, who claimed that its
passage would nullify the Federal cleo
ton laws. Recently, IN the House Of
Representatives, on motion OF Garfield,
OF Ohio, who stated that he was dis
posed to be fair in the matter, a clause
was attached to the Immediate Def
cheney bill, providing that not less than
two nor more than three Deputy Mar
shals should be appointed for each cleo
ton precinct, and that they should be
men of good moral character and Of diff
ierent politics. Federal Judges were
empowered by the bill to appoint the
Deputy Marshals. The bill IN this form
passed the House ard was sent to the
Senate, where it was amended to make
it conform to the requirements of the
Constitution by substituting Federal
Courts" for Federal Judges" The
Republican Senators in caucus decided
to oppose Gar6elds amendment con-
corning the appointment of Deputy
Marshals, which they claim would de-
feat the whele object of the Federal
election law, by depriving the partyin
power of the privilege of hiring as
many partisans as they pleased at the
public expense, to work for the success
Of the ticket as Deputy Mapshals on
election day.
What would the people say Of
Board of County Commissioners or Al
dermen who-appointed Judges and In
spectors OF Election exclusively from,
one party. Tweed, in his. palmiest
days in New York, never even attempt
ed to perpetrate such an outrage, and
the statutes Of Nevada and other States
prohibit it. Yet the Senate of the
United States, which ought to be the
most conservative. and fairest, as it is
the highest legislative body IN the land,
objects, for partisan purposes, to a
clause in proposed Federal law, which
Garfield, pronounced and uncompromis--
ing as he is said to be, introduced in
the House; and declared that it was
nothing more than night and fair that
each of the great parties into which the
people are divided, should have an
equal show at elections.

ILLEGAL TEeKETs.

There was noticeable difference in
the color and texture of the paper of the
Citizens and Workingmen's tickets in
San Francisco. That OF the Citizens
ticket was light pink, while that
used by the Workingmen was pure
white and quite thin. The Work
ingmen protested against the Citi-
zens' ticket being counted or tailed,
quoting the law On the subject, and
claiming that the paper used By them
was purchased of the Secretary of State,
and was of the legal standard, while
that used by the Citizens was not. 1t
is feared that the result of the election
may be changed for this reason. A New
York paper commenting on this subject,
says:
Such is the social condition of San
Francisco that the triumph Of the sand
lot element at this time would be un-
doubtedly a public calamity. 1t would
be doubly calamity if that result
should obtain through the law and or
der party's disregard OF the law. The
only motive which can be presumed for
any variation from the legal form of
ballots is an attempt to exercise an i'm
proper espionage over the individual
rights of voters. This is a blunder.
The Republican party in Minnesota
committed this blunder when it caused
the ballots in workingmen's district
to be numbered, in order to determine
what and how many mill-hands voted
the ticket prescribed for them by their
employers. On account OF this act.

that it can afford to petpetrate outrages
Of this sort in order to attain success. Z
