MIR. B. F. Fields is having a shaft
house erected on this property, and
making necessary arrangements for
winter work.
THE ELLA,
Having been sunk twenty-five feet,
has been abandoned for the winter.
The ore now on the dump is being
shipped to the smelter and gives re-
turns of I75 ounces to the ton.

Messrs. Lawler, Hornbaker and 7.

MlCAWBER
u. F. House, superintendent of the
Douglas County Mining company,
has shown us fine specimen of ar
gentlferous galena taken from the
forty-foot level of the Micawber lode.
The vein is uncovered for five feet and
only one wall has been reached. The
work of drifting is going btavely on
with encouraging results. The mine
will be worked all winter.
THE MOLTKE LODE,
Situated in Grant Park, on Ruby
King hill, is owned by Chas. Schmidt
and Henry Schultz, our enterprising
jeweler. This property has shaft on
it fifteen feet deep, and the pay streak
is three feet wide, which shows ruby
and brittle silver in rich quantities.
These gentlemen are having their
property worked, and it looks better
and better as depth is gained.
THE RUBY QUEEN,
Owned by Kerner, spahr, Dunn &
Maloney, is proving to be marvelously
rich, and in all probability it is on the
same vein as that Of the Forest Queen
and Ruby King. They struck ruby
silver in large paying quantities at a
depth of only four feet, and an aver
aged assay shows I, 200 ounces of sill.
yer to the ton. They have had nc
mill run made yet, iut are sacking ore
for shipment that is rich enough tc
pay handsomely. The owners are
highly pleased with the richness of this
property, and flom present appear
ances they will work it all winter.
The Burlington is looking WELL
A patent has been applied for the
Durango.
Machinery for the Lead Chief arriv-
ed Monday and is being put in place,
The machinery for the Ruby King
has been shipped and will arrive here
in few days.
Walter H. Graves has been appoint
ed superintendent Of the 1ndepend-
ence mine. A good appointment.
The Elk, in Elk Basin, is the prop
erty of Mike Lawler g. Co., and is the
best claim in that vicinity as well as
one of the best in the camp. The ore
is galena.
Work will be resumed in few days,
on the Homestake No. 10 and Bees
wax, two Of the best prospects in the
camp. Had the proprietors the neces-
sary means with which to erect build
ings and place machinery on these
lodes, they would soon produce rich
returns.

Mr.. Flagg, Of the banking house of
Reed, Hurlburt & Flagg, New York
and Chicago, was in camp last week,
looking after his mining interest, some
of which is as valuable as any in this
district. His firm is largely Interested
in the Independence mine, which is
considered one Of Our best properties.
Although there has not been much
said about thiH mine, but We have no
doubt that WIN 1he company CON-
mence developing extensively that it
will become rich producing mine.
We understand that Mr.. Flagg has
made arrangements for extensive work
to be done on it this fall.

After the game the HancocRs invited
their visitors to partake of ice-c cream,
lemonade and cake, which had been
provided in abundance, and the refresh
n,ents were discussed with infinite rel
ISL.
Three members Of the Quickstep club
Of New Orleans being on the grounds,
proposed that a game Of five innings lie
played between picked mines, the Quick
step players to take six of the Hancock
ten and play against seven Grasshoppers
and two members of the Burnside club
Of Donaldsonville. The proposition was
accepted and a bout of absorbing inter-
est was had, resulting iii score Of to
8 iii four innings. 1t was considered too
late to play another inning, and the inn
promptu game was declared q "draw."
More music from the band and then
cordial good-byes were said and the
DonaldsOnville boys returned home in
splendid spirits delighted with the
amusement the afternoon had afforded,
the favorable result Of their game and
the hearty reception accorded them by
the gentlemanly Hancocks.
The Hancock club has irst-class
material, most of its members being
large, strong and hardy. All that is re-
quired to make them very proficient and
formidable in ball-tossing is practice. =
second match between the Hancocks and
Grasshoppers is on the tapis for Sunday
after next, the 25th inst, to be played on
the Donaldsonville grounds.
The Burnside and Grasshopper clubs
will cross bats GU the public square to-
morrow afternoon to play off their tie
game of Sunday before last.
1t is expected that the Quickstep
club of New Orleans will visit Donald
sonyille on the 25th instant to play the
Furnishes Of this place. If so, the match
will be played during the forenoon and
that sc the Hancocks and Grasshoppers
IN the afternoon. The advent of a city
club to meet one of our local organiza-
tinns On the diamonds field would be an
exciting and interesting event.

Mr.. Pierre Klopman sent to our office
yesterday several heads of rice as a sam
pie of the fine crop of that grain growing
on the little plantation of Mr.. John D..
Cantey. in the fifth ward of this parish,
and it just lays over any specimen we
have seen this season. Mr.. Cantey has
no pump, and the only water that has
stood npon his rice was what he let
through the levee while the river was
high. He held this in his fields as long
as possible, but for about three weeks
the rice has only had the benefit OF such
moisture as the occasional rains have
afforded. Notwithstanding this draw
back, however, the rice has headed up
splendilly, with large, full gra'', ana
gives promise of tirst-class yield.

THE BEST CANE.-We received on Sun
day before last, the 4th inst, q stalk Of
cane having nine red joints, measuring
81 inches in length, AZ inches in circum
ference at the tlickest part. Several Of
the joints were each five inches long.
This stalk was cut from NJ. Israel & Co.'s
Saulsburg plantation, in the parish Of st.
james, and was the finest specimen of
the growing cane crop we had seen up to
that date. Who sends the next one :

gentleman, r. NJ. McCulloh, ESQ.,, graces

favorable attention of all who may be in
need of the services of an able, careful
conscientious attorney. Mr.. McCnlloh's
office is directly opposite the Court
House, where clients can consult him
daily. We are confident that none who
employ him Will ever have reason to
complain that their interests were not
properly and faithfully represented.

SUNDAY Law JOrTTNGs.- Our neiglt
| Dor, Mr. G. Kline; has again, ranged hin
self iii line With the merchants who hayI
determined to obey the Sunday law
pending the decision Of the matter in th|
courts. Nr. Kline's Old Reliable Z
store was closed as tight as drum las
Sunday.
The CHIEF is in full sympathy witt
those merchants who believe conscien1
tiously that the Sunday law will affect
their business disastronsly and thus in1
.jure the interests Of Donaldsonviile. We
are confident that their view is q lnista1
ken one; that the suspension of business
on the day upon which the great mass Of
the people rest from their weekly labors,
will prove benefit to the town and all
its inhabitants, by improving the moral
tone of the community to a degree that
will fully compensate for any temporary
disadvantage resulting from the new de-
parture but should the result show
that what has proved a blessing to other
localities would be an injury here, the
CHIEF will not be slow to acknowledge
the fact and to join the anti-Sunday-law
merchants in their opposition to the
measure. We distinctly avow, however,
that our sympathy does not extend to
the gambling and tippling houses that
have been tolerated too long in our midst,
contrary to law and good morals. Dom
aldsonville has for years possessed the
unenviable distinction Of being the only
town in the State where such institu-
tions are allowed to flourish undisturbed,
and long immunity from the prosecution
which the law enjoins has led the keep
ers of these establishments to assume
that they have legal and inalicnable
rights equal to those of reputable and
law abiding merchants, any Infringement
of whic. is an assault upon the liberties
and privileges of the people! 1t is time
this mistake was corrected, and it is en-
couraging to note that the prospect for
All early accomplishment Of this cousum-
nation is good. If any notifications of
the Sunday law are to be hereafter made,
We shall insist that they do not apply to
lianor vending. As fof the evil of public
gambling, we shall expect that to be
effectually wiped out long before the
question of the Sunday law is brought
to a defnitive test in the courts.
We learn that Judge R. N. Sims, the
able attorney of the Town Council in it's
fight against the SUNDAY law, has adj
viscd several merchants to open their
establishments tomorrow but to sell no
liquor. This counsel is probably based
npon the decision Of the Supreme Court
on the Baton Rouge Sunday law, which,
we are informed, especially affirms and
emphasizes the right of parochial and
municipal authorities to restrict and reg
nlate the barter and sale of liquor,
right that is recognized and exercised i'll
every State i'll the Union.
On Monday the rule taken upon Dis
trict Attorney Earhart to show cause
why he should not be punished for con-
tempt of court for presenting violators
Of the Sunday law, will come mp for trial
before Judge Cheevers at chambers.
An Iberville storekeeper has recently
paid fine of $3.50 for opening his cstab-
ishment on Sunday.

Capt. A. B. futile, the web known
Arctic explorer, arrived mere to-day, and
proposes to lecture at Ascension Hook
and Ladder Hall, Monday evening, on
the subjects of the Open Polar Sea and
its wonders, including the Aurora Borea~
lis and other phenomena of the Arctic
regions, the discovery of the Northwest
Passage and of a new race of people
speaking the Hebrew tongue, and some
of the startling incidents with which the
lecturers life has been replete. Captain
Tuttle has been on the sea SO years-ex-
cepting two years spent as Il captive of
the cannibals on the Fiji Islands, two
years in Hindoston and two years
in the Rocky and Sierra Nevada
mountains-has visited almost every
known portion of the world, been ship
wrecked several times, and hence pos
sesses fund of information and expert
ence of which few men can boast. He
intends to leave San Francisco in Octo-
Der for another voyage of discovery to
tie Polar Sea, and is filing up the in
terval of time with q lecturing tour. The
press speaks highly of his lectures, and
they can scarcely fail to be interesting.
The admission price is merely nominal
Is cents, and we bespeak fer the Captain
full house. If the first lecture receives
adequate encouragement, a second one
will be given Tuesday evening, mainly
devoted to the subject of his captivity
among the cannibals. $780,
Advice to Consumptives.
No man, however uncleanly, would
drink muddy, dirty water. A party which
occupies room for hours, breathing the
same air, might be compared to a party
Of bathers drinking the water in which
they battle. The patient must keep the
window of his bedroom open. Night air
is fresh air without daylight. In close,
crowded rooms, the patient suffering from
lung complaints breathes consnmptively.
By taking these precautions and using
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
and Pleasant Purgative Pellets, fully one
half of cases of lung complaints would
be cured in six months. For cough and
irritation of the lungs do not always in
dictate the presence of consumption, al
though it may result in that disease, and
if consumption has already become deep
~ seated in the system, this is the most
efficient course of treatment that can be
pursued outside of institutions that pro-
vide special facilities for the treatment
Of this disease. DR.. Pierce's celebrated
Invalids' Hotel is such All institution.

tanning also a complete treatise upon con-
sumption, explaining its causes, nature,
