THE MINT INVESTIGATION.

The Mint investigation at San Francis
co has reached a conclusion, and from
the way such things generally terminate
withdrawing report may be looked for
in due time. From the manner in which
the Commission admitted evidence in IA
vor of Dodge and rejected that which
was p~rejudicial to him, it looked as if
they did not care to probe too deep.
Dodge's attorney, Barnes, did everything
to complicate the case possible by pre-
senting a mystifying array of figures,
but he utterly failed to upset Pages
principal charge that there had been an
actual loss of 500, 900 to the Government
by a failure to exact refining. charges on
the low grade Northern Belle bullion that
was received from F. F. Low. Some
body got the benefit Of this loss, but it
does not seem to have been the Northern
Belle Company, as that company had to
pay refining charges when settling with
Mr.. Lows Anglo California Bank.

ell: "There is a somewhat more hopeful
feeling tonight in regard to the President.
The regular evening bulletin is more favor.
able, and the good indications have con.
tinued. The patients pulse is lower, be-
ing now Ill and of a better quality. His
mind is entirely clear. He has also shown
positive appetite, asking for milk toast, a
small quantity of which he was permitted
to eat. This is the first time for many
days be has swallowed anything but liquid
food. A slight increase in his respiration
is the only adverse symptom reported at
this hour-10:30 P. NJ"
UNOFFICIAL BULLETIN,
EXECUTIVE MANSION, Aug. 1880 p. M.
About half an hour ago the President said
10 Mrs. Garfield, who was sitting by his
bedside, that he would like to have a piece
of milk toast. She replied that IL the sur-
geons had no objections she would get it
for him. Bliss, upon being consulted said
it would do no harm if the condition Of
the parotid gland would allow him to move
his jaw enough to eat it. Mrs. Garfield
thereupon prepared the toast carefully her
self, and the patient ate WITH apparent rel
ish and enjoyment moving his Jaws with
less difficulty than was anticipated. This
taking Of solid food for the FIRST time in
about two weeks is regarded by the Presi-
dents attendants as a favorable indication,
and strengthens a little more the hope ex.
pressed this afternoon by Col. Rockwell
and Gen. Swain.
DR.. Bliss, in an interview to-day, said he
live more than two or three DAYS.
He does not think he will die suddenly.

As has already been noted IN these
columns a convention Of American bank
ers was held at Niagara Falls a short time
since. The Boston Economist says the
meeting was a grand success, and adds (;
"There were present not only a large
number of leading bankers of the coun-
try, but many of the c~learest financial
minds also. The assemblage was larger
than any previous one, and the interest
manifested in the proceedings was more
extended than ever before. The princi-
pies of banking, SO loosely conceived and
SO little understood, were submitted to a
searching discussion, and the lectures
and ESSAYS read on the occasion consti-
tute q valuable addition to the literature
of the subject. George S. Coe, who was
chosen President Of the association, read
a strikingly suggestive and comprehen-
sive address on the future currency OF
the country, and Comptroller Knox read
an instructive and thoroughly prepared
paper on banking. The programme,
which was an extensive one, was carried
out to the letter. The question of bank
taxation deservedly engrossed the atten-
tion Of the meeting, the speakers num-
bering among them some of the most
prominent men in finance in the country.
The magnitude Of the evil of bank tax
alton was set forth in highly impressive

Dispatches received at the usual hour
last evening indicated that the President
was dying. Our local operator, Mr..
Spinner, kindly consented to keep his
office open until midnight. Nothing
came through at a later hour than about
IL o'clock. At that time the President
scanned to be a little better. He called
for and ate milk toast with apparent
relish. There is a bare possibility that
he may now proceed to recuperate,
though the surgeons seem to be agreed
that there is no hope for his recovery.
We shall be surprised if he fingers until

Denver Mining Gazette Ignorant peo-
pie have sometimes been alarmed at q phe-
nomenon, which to prospectors about the
Holy Gross, has of late been q common
sight, namely, red snow. Red snow has
occasionally been seen in the neighbor-
hood Of Mount Shasta in California, and
these two places are the only ones in which
it is known in the United States thought
is an every day occurrence IN the Arctic
regions, from which travellers have re-
turned with very vivid accounts OF the
strange appearance. TIT cause OF this
blood red is the presence in the snow OF
animalcule, visible only through the mi
croscope, but though the microscope can
reveal them, nothing can give a satisfac-
tory account of the source from whence
they come or the reason Of their coming.
The red snow in the Holy Cross district
may be seen in patches OF various sizes
n different shades-from deep scarlet to
delicate pink. Held in the hand 1t dis
solves, leaving a clear red water which
makes no stain. The red snow in this re-
gion has come within the past two years,
as old prospectors before that time never
noticed it. 1t is an interesting problem to
solve how these little creatures fioated
there from their arctic home, or why they
they found a resting place under the Holy
Cross, from whatever spot they started.

Mr.. EDIToB: 1t may be that We fail to
get the representation in the newspapers
we deserve. True, we have no high school
of which to boast, no towering church spire
to ornament the town, but to claim the
neighborhood as being with us we say We
are progressive people. We think not far
in the future there will be another graded
school here. The times demand it, the
people want it, and the children and young
sters must have it,
Our steam saw and grist mill, owned by
Cooper 4 Bro, is doing a respectable bust
ness. We can also hear the shrill whistle of
another steam mill which is now IN our
vicinity. 1t is owned by Bishop & Wood
and is to be transient, going about seeking
whom and where it may do good.
Mr.. T. F. Cooper is selling goods to us,
and we are hopeful over the prospect of
having another store. We feel sure there
is good opening here for more goods.
On the twelfth of this month Mrs. Fox,
widow of Wesley Fox, deceased, babe her

lecture on the subject of electricity and
magnetism, and their relation to Edison's
inventions. All present were highly
entertained and interested at the
instructive and useful lecture.
Poi. Locket::elucidated very clearly the sew
eral theories of electricity and magnetism,
and made the points more forcible by illus
trating them with an electric battery and
other apparatus from the University. He
exhibited, on small scale, the genuine
electric light, and his operations
and explanatory remarks were wit

We are requested by the management of
the library to return thanks to Prof. Loekets
for his excellent lecture, and to the people
for their patronage.
