The New York Worlds "Amateur En-
grant" concludes a long article describing her
trip across the Atlantic as a steerase passen-
ger in the following language: with this
narrative l conclude the Worlds investiga-
tions into the condition of the steerages OF At
lantic passenger steamers. l sntsred on the
task d~ispassionately, l have fulf!led it dis
passionately. l have moving extenusted, nor
aught set down in malicA.' The general
conclusions which | draw from my various
trips to and fro across tbs Atlantic are that
emigrants are well looked after; that the &C
commoda,ion is admirable when the low
price OF the tremendous journey across
the ocean is considered, and that rs regards
immortality, ships officers do all they can to
prevent it, aud only fail to do so completely
through the determinatien of some of the
passengers themselves to do as they ought
not 70 do. Life in q steernge 10 not exactly

the whole as a reasonable emigrant could ex-
pect, and has improved out of all knowledr &c

Editor Miner:

monthly dividend Dec. Is of one per. cent?
Or $4,000, making dividends paid since last
July of 100000, and leaving q cash surplus
on hand Of $50 900.
The mines at Lion City are now in condi-
tion to deliver to the transportation compauy
90 tons of ore daily. This ought to settle the
question of the p~ermanency of the Hecla
property, which "profs ssional e~xperts' pro-
nounced last January as "perered." 1t is the
opinion Of the best practical miners on Lion
Hill that the Hecla p roperty is the very best
in Montana Territory. In the Cleopatra
mine alone there is now developed and in
sight not less than $4,000 tons of first class
ore. TIE Atlantis and Fissure mines are dali
" furnishing their share of the one to be
smelted.
The Iron mines of this company at "Nor-
wood" were closed down Tor the winter, as the
company have on hand near 1000 tons Of iron
which will run both furnaces until April or

SCHEAR THAT WILL FAIL,

1t is just possible, if not quite probable,
that there is a huge speculation at the bottom
of the so-called Resdjuster movement in Vir-
ginia. If the superstition be true it would be a
fine thing for the few parties in the ring who
are credited with manipulating it. 1t seems
tho design is to ~frishtcn the holders OF Vir-
ginia state bonds into selling them at nominal
figures, and when possession of them is OBJ
tanned by the ring MASTERS, the policy OF the
Readjusters will be abandoned and that of
the Democrats to enforce their full payment
be taken up. The scheme is a beautiful one,
and in a financial point of view, we'll worthy
Of the attention of the Wall street capitalists
who furnished means by which four-ffths
of the negro votes were purchased at the late
election for The Readjuster's ticket. If it can
be made to work there are "millions in IT..
A glance at the following figures will show
this fact. The principal of the Gest was orig
inally about &45, 900 600. Of this amount,
one-third va. apportioned to West Virginia
which leaves nearly $~30,0OO,O0O for the old
state to pay. This It can do but it seems it
does not suit the purposes OF the keadjusters
to promise it's paymiut at the present time.
It i. p1 opposed to scale tho debt down, which
under the RiddleheIger bill would lower it to
so, 100000. Here is where the money comes
in. If the holders of the bonds eau
be frightened into taking, say six
ty-six aud two-thirds per cent, of their face
value there is a clear $4,000, 900 will, the
accrued interest, which amounts to $4,000
600, to divide among the manipulators OF this
magnificent scheme. In order to force the
sale Of these bonds large sums were contrib
uted by Northern parties, 70 be used in car
rying the Readjusters' ticket in the late cleo
ton. They were successful and have a Gov
ernor and Legislature at their rack. But the
best laid plans Of politicians, like those OF
mice, .gang aft sgles.' The Virginia bond
holders don't scare worth = cent. They
laugh to scorn Malone and Riddleberger and
his bill. Although, says the Richmond Dis
patch, there is geing 10 be a great deal OF
money made sud lost IN buying ard selling
Virginia bonds during the next three or four
months, ii 10 easily TO be seen that the credi
tors Of the State hold the ReadJusters ana
their NiIdleberger bill in derision. The
prices at which Virginia bonds are now sell
ing every day furnish conclusive evidence
that although Mr.. Gronsr, Mr.. Riddleberger
and General Malone have all just visited
New York and other cities north of us, and
have no doubt told all that they know as to
the designs of their party friends ill the Viz
ginia Legislature, yet nobody has any fears
that the Riadlebergsr bill will become a law,
Or, becoming a law, viii ever be put into OPP
Grafton. The Boosting of the Mahoneites go
FOR nothing with the capisalisis who own Viz
ginix bonds. Ties" gentlemen may lean up
on a broken reed bl.t it is a selt-evident
proposition that they are perfectly confident
that the Riddleberger bill will never become
an operative law.
