A few nights ago one Of tie mer-

Afew nights ago one Of the mer-
chant princes of Chicago, busy, with
his money making, which kept him
at his Office until a late hour, was as
founded to see his son, the pride of
his palatial home, staggering from a
saloon with a company of registering
companions. His mind had been so
continuously occupied with business
that this accident was a revelation
which spoke volumes of his neglect
Of his family. He could only lift
his hands and exclaim: "0h, my
boy, where have you been tonight"
There are a multitude Of parents in
this town who might wellrepeatt that
question. The dens of vice are very
alluring, and unless you throw ar
ound the boys and girls your strong
arms Of love, before you are aware,
they may pass beyond your reach
and be overwhelmed in that vortex
which snatches as eagerly, and often
as successfully, the brightest and best
of the most observation-disclosures as from
more humble abodes. Parents should
knew their children and seek to gain
their confidence. They should know
where and how they spend their ev-
enings and leisure hours. They
should know the literature thy per-
use, and the character of their asso.
ciates; not spyingly, but by the
kind, considerate means which every
parent should study who has the
care and guidance of children and
young people. Study the happiness
Of home and the wants Of the fami.
ly more and money.making and fash.
ion less, would be a good motto for a
of fathers and mothers.

MUS Foglesong, son Of James Fogle-
song, Of Robinson District, aged
about sixteen years, was killed on
Saturday evening while engaged in
digging a well on his fathers farm.
The circumstances are about as fol-
lows Several were engaged in dig.
ging the we'll, and rested each other
at short intervals. They had got
down to depth of about thirty feet,
and the air becoming bad, work was
suspended for day. or two. On Sat.
urday evening it was arranged to
build u fire in the well to purify the
air, and young Foglesong went down
in the bucket for that purpose. He
made several attempts to light
matches, all of them failing to burn.
Pretty soon be complained Of a pain
in his head and called to those at the
top to haul him up, as he was feeling
bad. When about nine feet from the
top, he asked them to stop winding,
whichsthey did, and he attempted to
get out ona rock that prUtruded
about two feet out into the we'll,
when he let go and fell to the bottom
OF the well. 1t is not certain wheth-
er he was killed by the fall, or died
from the effects Of the foul air. At
the time he fell from the bucket his
mother was looking ut him, and the
sh"ck was so great upon her nervous
system that she is now lying in a
very dangerous condition. We ex
tend to Mr.. Foglesong and Instantly
our heart felt sympathy, as well as
that of our whole community.

The writer returned Last evening
from q two weeksi visit 10 the copper
uines Of c~opperopolis in the northern
cart OF Lsnsmis county. The develop
ments in this camp during the past
month have been on an extensive scale.
Many e discoveries have been made,
and our predictions that all the hills
leading from the Platte to the Raw
hide are mineral-bearing, are gradually
being verified.
Early last week the discovery Of a
vein Of rich silver and copper bearing
ore was reported on MineralHiIln at the
Indian Springs, about five miles from
Copperopolis.
A stampede of all the miners of the
Platte Canon mining district soon after
set in for Mineral Hill, and a large
camp was formed at the Springs in a
few days PROJECTORS in great num-
beers swarmed oyer the mountain, and
in a weeks time eight leads were dis
covered and located on this hill, all Of
them showing up fine surface indica-
tions Of silver and copper. Specimens
OF the ore assaying from $50 to S125
per ton. The miners are now hard at
work developing their new discoveries.
Blasting is heard in every direction,
and every shot brings to the surface the
rich mineral heretofore hidden in the
mountains.
A meeting Of the miners located near
Indian Springs vas called last Monday
evening. for the purpose of organizing
a town site company. Thirty-two men
were present at the meeting and much
enthusiasm was manifested. H.
Glafcke was elected president, and ].
G. Stacy, secretary and recorder. At
ter some discussion, the new town was
given the name of Hartpille, by q
unanimous vote of the miners. This is
in honor Col. v. X. Hart, major 9th U.
8. cavalry. who has been identified with
the new camp for some tim Q. and is de.
veloping several very promising loca'
tions in the vicinity.
The plateau south and southeast Of
Indian Springs, including the latter,
was by a vote of the meeting, designat.
ed as the town site of Hartville, and
upon motion the president, Messrs.
Coleman, Hart and Stratton, were ap-
pointed a committee to stake of the
lots and cause a survey to be made.
Upon motion of Col. Hart. the size Of
lots was fixed at 25x100 feet.
There being nc other business, the
meeting adjourned, subject to the call Of
the Recorder, with three hearty cheers
for Hartville and Col. Hart.
We shall give a description of the
mines near Hartville in our next issue.
