The Liberal Miner.

The New York Stock Report tells the
following, which is q fair illustration Of
the open handedness of the average mi
ner
One OF those ro~ugh-clad, big-hearted
miners who come into Santa Fe OCCASION
ally to lay in a supply of grub, stepped
into the postoffice Of that town recently,
and seeing in tho window three letters
held for postage, picked up one, and,
looking at the address, said in a one Of
great establishment, "Why. this is for q
lady in Denver /" "Yes," said the clerk.
"And you are holding it here !! +" in q tone
of great astonishment. "Why, of course"
answered the clerk, "don't you see it
hasn't any postage paid?" In q tone Of
utter contempt for the man who would not
forward q letter to o woman, paid or I'M
paid, the miner said "Give me some
stampsl 1t vas done he carefully put
stamps On all the letters in the window,
putting two on that Of the feminine gen.

THE PICNIC.
A Good Attendance, but the Sports
Interfered with by the storm

The picnic OF the Union Guard yester-
day drew a good crowd to the grounds near
the italian ranch. Everything went well
until about noon, when the storm set in.
Most OF those present managed to find
shelter, and but few got wet. The high
wind was the greatest set back. The i'm
mense dancing pavilion was blown down
Tor upl, but fortunately no one was in
jured. The company was damaged about
$3.50 by the storm. The pavilion was
partially reconstructed during the after
noon and q force of 10 men was left on
the ground to get it in complete repair and
readiness by an early hour this morning,
Those who attended yesterday speak in
the highest terms OF the management of
affairs and were without exception we'll
pleased with the days recreation and sport.
John Pemberthy, the miner lately in
jured in the Richmond, had charge OF the
fruit stand. A considerable portion OF his
wares we're damaged by the storm. He will
have afresh supply to-day and deserves to
be literally p~atronized.
The lunch stand was an excellent feature
and sp~lendidly conducted. 1t was supplied
with every delicacy the market affords.
The wants OF the hungry will receive due
attention again to-day.
There was some scrub racing and a base
ball match between the Eureka Juniors
and a picked nine. The Juniors won.
Tom Hoskipg carried of the honors in
the target shooting, winning the first
prize by a score Of Al. The pnpropitious
weather greatly interfered with the shoot
ing.
The principal games and sports will take
place to-day. The weather being favora-
BILE, there will no doubt be an immense
throng in attendance. General Sabin and
STAFF will visit the grounds in full uniform
dress.
Everybody will desire to get out OF the
fumes and breathe q little pure air. We
shall expect, therefore, a very large gather
ing as the guests Of the gallant Guards
to-day.

The Mining Market.

The New York Financial and Mining
News says: There is 10 present reason to
despair OF the mining market. Prices are,
generally speaking, very low, it is true.
but buying is active and comes largely
from the outside public. A great deal OF
money was undoubtedly lost by timid in
vestors in the State Line raid. But, TAX
ing the great bulk of mining investors and
speaking from our own experience, the
number OF losers has been no greater than
the number OF winners. The fact is that
the man who loses 500 in mining schemes
celebrates the loss with a $500 funeral,
while the man who makes $500 in mining
schemes discreetly holds his peace and says
nothing. Speculation in mining stocks il
no safer than speculation in anything else
nor is it any more risky. When there are
profits they are very large; when there are
losses they are usually in~considerable.

There are other salaries, but not named
in tho law, to-wit: Judges salary, which
we place for Eureka's proportion at 81 900,
we do not know how many deputies are al
lowed, but we allow So. 200 for the Justice
and Constable, and enough for deputies to
swell the total to $45, 900. This even is an
enormous sum for the county to pay, be-
cause most of the salaries are too high.
The receipts from fees have been to date
more than 49, 900, and will amount to $780,
ZOO for the year. This would leave the
county out $25 900 for all Of the services
rendered to the county by her officers, an
amount, we undertake to say, q great deal
less than the usual cost in any year since
the county was organized. If any tax
payer Of Eureka will take the trouble to
examine the quarterly reports Of the Of
ficers for 1880, and add thereto the salaries
and sums paid to those officials who did
not file reports, we believe the figures will
foot up nearly $4,000. 1t is no. possible
that the Salary Law can cause q loss to
Eureka. And in ~denouncing the Salary
Law it is not fair to attack it by adding up
the salaries Of the Judges, Commissioner,
District Attorneys, Treasurers, Recorders,
and all others that were paid salaries pre-
vious to the passage Of the general law.
But even with those included, in any
county where the salaries are not extor-
tionate for the service rendered, the COM
parison will always be in favor of the law.
We will take the business of 1881 and COM
pare it with 1880, and guarantee that, with
the possible exception Of Lincoln and one
other, every county in the State will have
been benefited.

A New York exchange has the following:
As Cyrus W. Field says, it is wonderful
that the prices of stocks have declined SO
much since the Sd of June without bring
ing a panic. But prices have. not yet
touched the bottom. in the opinion of this
astute observer, and his warning will in
duce the prudent TO take reef in their
sails ia expectation of a gale. If his warn
ing is generally needed the inevitable de-
cline in prices may take place without a
disastrous crash, but if maniacs continue
to throng Wall street, a sudden collapse
will shake that thoroughfare before the
end Of the Summer.

lust Missed It..

The conditions yesterday were most IA
vorable for an old time freshet down the
canyon. The heavy black clouds lowered
over Prospect mountain for an hour. but a
heavy wind storm coming up, they drifted
off beyond the Diamond range. As it was
we had a most refreshing shower. This is
the first time this year that the dense inky
clouds have made their appearance in the
right spot to send a flood through the town,
had they tarried long enough to discharge
their contents. Old settlers can tell to q
dot when there is danger OF q washout. A
good many had their weather eye peeled in
the direction Of Prospect mountain yester-
day.

fore it was considered booming. Now an

quite enough. The clippers rush to sell

Severe Surgical Operation. It is Endured
without taking Ether. Subject, HIrs.
Edward Myers, of ROndout, N. z.
from Correspondence Of the Kingston, n 2, Freeman
The case of Mrs. Edward Myers, of
Rondout, N. Y, furnishes an apt illustra-
ton of woman's power of endurance. This
lady had been treated for months in the
usual way for Erysipelas of the hand,
without benefit. Not until her hand had
become mass of purified flesh, did she
turn to DR.. Kennedy, proprietor of the
''Favorite Remedy" for help.
He at once informed her that it was
impossible to save the hand-it must be
amputated. She received this terrible in
telligence quietly, declining to take ether,
STIMULATING merely to hold her husbands
hand during the operation, and underwent
the painful process without moving a mus
Gle or uttering groan. DR.. Kennedy
then gave "Favorite Remedy freely to
cleanse the blood and prevent the return
| of the disease, and Mrs. Myers now lives
and reiOices in her great deliverance.
| 'Favorite Remedy" is fast becoming a
| trusted household friend in all cases OF
Female Weakness and diseases of the blood.
