How strange it is for miners to salt their
mines on themselves, says the Chicago
Mining Review. They will open their pros
pect holes, put a piece of rock in their
pocket as big as a walnut, get a big assay
then show it around, telling everybody
they have from two to four feet OF such
material-tell it until they appear to be-
lieve ii themselves. But when they finally
conclude to get a mill run they shovel'up
their dump, get a run, and it goes say 2o
ounces, they d%enounce the mill men
Fifty ounces is above the average OF mill
ing ore in all mining countries, and that a
paw streak OF 5 inches is a good average
vein. Ii You have only a little rich ore,
sort it carefully and take it to the nearest
market. Men on the hunt for mining
investments look around the smelters. A
few sacks Of fine ore in a smelter beat a
heap of wind puffs. Suppose you have
oaly a few hundred pounds; get up your
jack, pack it over, get your money, let it
be ever so little, keep to work. One worked
mine is worth a dozen idle prospects. You
will never. by standing by and blowing
about your $50, 900 ore, get FOUR ore.

There arc two things which should be
done at once, says the New York Graphic,
and VIC appeal to the good sense Of the
people Of the country to see that they
are done. One is to stop all further sub
scriptions for the widow, mother aad
children Of President Garfield; the other
is to rapidly and most generously swell
the fund for the relief of the $1,000 per-
sons who have been reduced to utter
restitution and are now suffering In
Michigan. The fund for Mrs. Garfield
and her children up to this writing has
reached the ~extravagant figure of nearly
s325. 900. She is the sole inheritor of
her husbands personal and real estate
including q very comfortable homeland
Congress will, no doubt, give her a PEN
sion Of perhaps $1,000 a year; the salary
OF her husband for one year, S50,Oo0,
and probably more. Mrs. Garfield to-
day is a m who is practically worth
$500. 600 or more. And still here are
little children being coaxcd to send their
pennics to her as if she were IN object OF
charity. In the list Of the subscriptions
published the other day were such items
as these "Little girl friends Of Mollie
Garfield; s. 1872 "Bessie, Mini and
Oliver, 81 49,"
We very much mistake the character
of Mrs. Garfield if she does not blush
with regret as she reads the record OF
such contributions, and reflects that
within a DAVIS ride OF her comfortable
home at Mentor are $4,000 men, women
and children whose houses, barns, fences,
crops and clothing have been swept away,
and who are now, despite the aid fur
nished them, suffering and dying from
exposure, sickness and starvation. We
are confident that if Mrs. Garfield had
anything to say about the matter she
would ask the people who are sending
her money which she does not need aud
over which she can haze no control save
to receive the interest upon it when in
vested, to stop this worse than unneces-
sary exhibition of feeling and to send
the money to the Michigan sufferers. As
for her husbands mother, surely she can
we'll take care Of her, and her pride and
affection must alike revolt at the imputa-
ton that while she is made one Of the
most worthy women in the country, her
mother.i in law Is to be considered an OBJ
jeot Of charity.
No; let the Garfield fund be stopped
now and at once, and let the Michigan
fund be Immediately and largely in
creased. 1t Is stated that the vast sum
Of 81, 500, 900 viii be necessary to relieve
the existing distress there, but as yet
only $4,000 has been received.

The best way Of bringing the merits OF
q mining property before the public is
through the medium of a reliable paper,
with the corroborative evidence of jour
mails and individuals located in the neigh
borhood of the properties described.
There is every evidence that we are ap-
preaching the greatest stability ever known
in mining, and as confidence is gradually
restored we may expect an unprecedented
amount Of capital to flow in that direction.
AS in oil wells. so in mining, many mer-
chants have years ago ventured to their
cost. Petroleum has now reached a set
tied basis, and although there are fewer
Goal Oil Johnnys," there is a more gen.
eral prosperity. We may expect to have
fewer Mackays, Fairs or Floods in the
future OF mining, but more widely diver
sified benefit, and the mercantile element
which has been frightened off in its early
stages will return and contribute to the
development OF our vast mining territory.
In short, we are to have more mining and
less stock dealing, more mines and fewer
promoters.

THE QUEENS DEEP FEELING

THE QUEENS DEEP FEELING.
The publication OF the latest messages
from Queen Victoria to Mrs. Garfield
and the late Presidents venerable mother
shows that the coincidence offered by the
Queen to the Garfield family has not
been merely formal but inspired by
the deepest sympathy. The Queen is
better able than most women to under
stand Mrs. Garield's grief, because of
her own widowhood. The affection and
the happiness of the married life of
the two were much alike, and therefore
the death Of Prince Albert enabled the
Queen to fully sympathize with Mrs.
Garfield in the death of her husband. It is
probable, too, that the attempts upon
her WI life have made her peculiarly
sensitive to assaults upon the lives Of
other rulers, so that the assassination Of
President Garfield was a calamity that
transfxed her whole attention. Then
the heroic bearing of the President un.
der suffering touched her heart to unre-
served admiration, and the fortitude of
his wife and mother were equally noble.
The Garfield family have displayed vir.
tues which recall to memory the Spartan
heroes, and it is not in human nature to
withhold admiration. It is not diplo-
macy but sincere feeling which prompts
the Queen to send messages of condol.
ence to the late Presidents wife and
mother, and to ask that a good portrait
the fallen hero be sent to her.

THE MOTHER's CHARACTER.

That great men have owed much to
their mothers is proverbial; and that the
relation Of the mothers character to the
children's conduct is accepted as a truth
is very curiously illustrated in a report
drawn. up upon the parochial schools of
England and Wales. The inspector was
informed in a large factory, where many
hundreds Of children were employed,
that the managers before they engaged a
boy always inquired into the mothers
character, and If that were satisfactory
they engaged him. being tolerably GER
tain that her children would acquit them
selves oreditably. No inquiry at all was
made into the character Of the father.

~ may not be in excess of the de-
mand. After a full and careful
consideration of the matter, we are
uatisfied that this will not be the
case. The ravages of the phyllox-

3simply wonderful, and the end is

tive departments of "sunny

Jersey Cattle in America.
Richard Goodman, Jr.

In 1858 the American Jersey Cat
tie Club was estab lished. The So
ciety has done vigorous and sue.
cessful work in guarding the purity
of the stock and In extending the
knowledge of the merits of this
breed. There merits were not, al
first, either widely or willingly
recognized; and the Jerseys-or as
they were then, and are sometimes
now, wrongly called Alderneys-
were seldom seen except upon the
lawns and in the stables of men OF
wealth. Gradually, however, the
reports of the great annual yields
of butter made by cows of this
breed reused the interest of practi-
cal farmers, and the growing de-
mand for the butter of these COWS
further increased their popularity,
and soon the little COW which had
been laughed at as an eXpesive and
foolish luxury became to practical
breeders of butter stock an abso-
lutte necessity. In fact, the growth
in numbers and in value of this
breed of cattle in this country
during the past eight or ten
years has no parallel in the histo-
ry of thoroughbred stock. A
dozen years ago Jersey cattle were
not seen at the shows; half a dozen
years ago they were shown, but
with no expectation of rousing
such interest, much less with the
expectation of winning prizes, for
none were offered for this despised
breed; three years ago, at large
fairs, Jerseys were not classed with
or judged according to the rules
which then governed exhibitions
of thoroughbred cattle. To-day in
nearly every State OF the Union,
the Jerseys shown outnumber any
other breed upon the ground, and
in some States they outnumber all
other breeds; it is about the stalls
of this breed that, to-day, the lar
gest number of interested spects-
tors gather; and this breed during
the past year has, in the average
amount realized at public auction,
taken its position at the head of all
others In the United States.

The laws of all civilized nations
have provisions which restrain
men from a suicidal impulse, yet
these Arctic expeditions have, in
truth. psrtaken of the character of

sulting from any of these expedi.
tions has been simply nihil. Tried
in the alembic of common sense
and utility, the remnant is moth
ing, and hammered out very thin,
at that. Yet still the farce goes
on. The Rogers has gone after the
Jeanette. Other expeditions will
probably be organized to go after
the Rogers, unless the command
ant of this latter vessel shall come
to the conclusion that discretion is
the better part of exploratory valor,
and come back betimes. AS TO all
men imbued with high and chiv-
alric impulse to plung into the icy
congelation and sure and grim
death of the Polar regions, we feel

heroic lines of the burlesque song,
"Oh Jack, Jack, Jack, come back, back.

ling inspiration in the programme
