THE MINE.
A Prospect Hole is STOCKED" for
$4,000, 900. ....,.

Our morning contemporary, the Helena In
dependent prints a complete expose Of the
Garfield Mining Company swindle. 1t ap-
pears that one Col. Grayson bought a pros
pect hole for $4,000, located about twelve
miles from Helena, and 'organized' a COM
pany and stocked the prospect hole tor w.
600, 900, and called the thug the ''Garfield
Mining Company One hundred thousand
shares were issued, of which Col. Gray son
induced some of the prominent citizens OF
Helena to take small amounts at Sl.5o per
share, reserving for himself about so'ooo
shares. A board of directors and officers OF
the company were selected from the most re-
spectacle men in Helena. In June last a
prospectus of the company was issued when
gave a glowing descr ption of the Garfield
mine, and stating that a 2O-stamp mill was
being constructed at an outlay OF So,ooo,
which would be in operation in ninety DAYS.
The prospectus aroused suspicion. Reports
were circulated that the whole thing was a
swindle. The board of directors was COM
posed of men who were not disposed to be
identified with a fraud and they appointed a
committee to examine the property. The
Independent further says:
awe learn that the committee found a SHAFT
| upon the mine, which, however, was filed
with water, thus concealing any ore that
otherwise. might have been visible. There
was only one other hole, which those who
visited the mine %variously estimated at from
6 to 10 feet deep, and members OF the com
mittee inform us that while good looking
quartz could be seen on the outside Of this
hole, none was Wis BILE inside. The shaft
above referred to is said to be 10 feet deep,
and it is to be regretted that the water pre-
vented any examination OF the ore, which
otherwise perhaps might have been visible.
The committee, we understand, saw much
loose float even estimated by some at $500
tons-and fair indications that a valuable
mine might exist in the vicinity, but 'only
this and nothing more We understand
| that Mr.. ParcIen, who was one of the visit
ing committee, has since resigned as a direct
or. The board has also directed a withdrawal
of the flaming circulars in regard to the mine as
being wholly unwarranted by the indications
in sight. This is clearly the proper thing
to do. No such circular should have beer
issued on such Developments"

The Bride of TnniS.
| news melancholy from Tunis.

A news melancholy from Tunis.
One knows that in this country
droll one has the habitude to admire
the women much stout.
There was there one young woman
of which the hand was sought by "A
lover impetuOus.
She saw him-she loved him.
Everything was of accord; the
parents were amiables, the fortunes
were equals.
But one day it found itself that
the husband future discovered a
thing affrightful.
The bride did not weigh but three
hundred pounds.
With calmness terrible he said
to her:
I'VE shall reese each other no
more. The bride of my brother
weighs four hundred pounds. Is it
that [ could bring the shame upon
my family in espOusing a skeleton ?''
He left her, bathed in tears hots.
AS soon as, she took the determi-
nation. She resolved that she
would enfatten herself. She ate
continually for a fifteen Of days.
Misery! Despair! She weighed but
three hundred and fifty.
Therefore, taking her courage in
the two hands, she bought a tube of
rubber, like those at the means of
which one fattenS the geese of
Strasbourg.
At the end OF twenty days she at
tanned the weight needful.
She sent to her lover. He was
run himself to the house paternaI.
AS he entered there was a sound
deaf Gun bruit sourd), like the noise
of gun.
What horror His bride was the
victim of her love to. true.
She had exploded.

production of precious metals in
California for the six months ending

entine, of Wells, Fargo s. Co.'s Elk.
press, is as follows: Gold, S9,41S,37S:
silver, $29S,264. If this rate is con-
tinued during the remainder of the
year, it would give the largest pro-
duction since 1874.
AT the election held to-day, the
following were elected directors of
the Central Pailroad for the ensuing
year: Leland Stanford, G. P. Hunt
lngton, ChaS. CrOcker,C. F. Crocker,
+. III. Miller, jr., w. V. Huntington
E. w. Hopkins. Subsequently a
meeting Of directors was held, and
Leland Stanford was elected presi-
dent; G. P. Huntington, first vice
president; Charles Croker, second
vice-president; E. II. Miller, ir.,
secretary, and E. W. Hopkins, treas
urer.
In the mint investigation. to-day,
Superintendent Dodge testified that
In making removals of some of
Pages appOinteeS he had been &C
tuated by the fact that they were
either unnecessary, inattentiYe or
incompetent. He continued: The
simple truth is that l could not get
along with Mr.. Page without sur
rendering to him the entire control
of the mint, and as l refused to do
that, he treated me as his enemy,
and in my own protection / was
forced to retaliate. 1t was under
that idea that did my best to defeat
his nomination for Congress He
further stated that Pages friends in
the mint were disposed to set at
naught the authority of the superin-
tendent; consequently they were
dismissed.
Mint DirGctor Burchard testified
the manner of passing
upon mint accounts. The first as
sistant auditor told witness that
Dodge'S accounts for the last quar-
ter were not yet acted upon owing
to the displacement of certain
and a request of Page
that action on them be deferred till
after the investigation. Page here
denied that he made such a request,
but stated that the first auditor told
him the delay was because
he was doubtful if the law
would justify him in auditing so
great loss as Dodge's accounts
showed, $4,000, taking that amount
Of silver from the profit fund.
Burchard reiterated his testimony
and Page informally sWore to the
truth of his statement, saying the
has his full permission
TO verify it by telegraphing to
Washington.

Our foreign dispatches announced few
days ago the betrothal of King Louis Of Ba-
varia to the Archduclcss Valerie, the young
est daughter of the Emperor of Austria. As
the young lady in question is but 13 years of
age, and her Rbyal suitor &C, this inconsru-
GUS engagement, if it is correctly stated, will
have to. be set down as another Of the Ba-
Varian Kings eccentricities. He has been
upon the throne seventeen years, and is tull

sal passion, and with exactly the degree Of
sense that might be expected of this Royal

FURTHER examination and investigation of
Capt Howgate's administration as disburs-
ing officer Of the Signal Service leave little
doubt that that gentleman has used S100, 600
OF the money Of the United States for his
own personal purposes. Like all persons
who hare made free with public funds, it
appears that Howgatc has lived In most
luxurious: style, entertained his friends
most royalty, and paid extravagant prices
for everything which he used. He
sold 4 steam yacht to the Government
for $4,000, for the ostensible purpose of
laying cables It was never used for that
purpose, however. 1t was fitted up as q
pleasure yacht, in which Howgate and his
boon companions and friends had many
merry time. It was elegantly furnished.
Uncle Sam paid the bills. An island at the
mouth Of the St Mary's River, owned by the
Gay Club, of which Howgate was member,
had house erected on it at the expense of
the Government The medical stores fur
nshed for the Signal Service by the Govern
1nent were not good enough for the gay Cap

The announcement that the British Minis
try has determined to reward half dozen
Irish members of Parliament who have
given them thick and thin support during
the present session will take nobody who has
read the history Of Irish parties for the last
fifty years by surprise. The Emancipation
act brought into politics queer class Of
persons,-bankrupt 'Squires, tuft-huntlng
attorneys, and tradeslnen who got rich
mostly by accident, and penniiess adyentur-
ers. These persons spouted cheap scditlon
for while in order to attract tile attention
Of the gu1lible electors. They next ap-
peared as candidates, intensely patriotic and
intensely Catholic oncs. Once elected, they
became the most subseryient supporters of
the Ministry. The penniiess ones secured
Colonial appointments, the few rich ones
rcerases- The persons selected for reward
by Mr. Gladstone are excellent types Of their
class. Mitchell Henry is 4 rich man, vain,
ponpous, clustering. lie has yearned for Il
title. In order to be elected to Parliament
he became Home-Ruler alld Nationalist

Power, all out-at-tlbows gentleman, has
been Fenian, Home-Ruler, Parnellite,-
but always a humbug. The other persons

IT is reported from Berlin that the German
U1tramontane leaders have lately received
instructions from the Vatican to support Bis
marck's candidates at the forthcoming cleo
TONS Acting apparently on these instruc-
lions the Catholic journals are recommend
ing their leaders to support Conservatism in
districts where the Uitra1nontanes have little
chance. The Socialists will hardly elect
more than half dozen candidates. They
will muster sufficient strength, however. to
necessitate second ballots in many districts.
At the second elections they will be more
likely to support the party Of Bismarck than
the Liberals, because of the formers prom
ised support of semi-Socialistic ideas.

THE TRIBUNE few days ago published
Douglas Monument, with description Of
the finished work. The initial proceedings
looking to this monument date back to June,
1861, so that from the beginning to the CON-
pletion covered exactly twenty years 1t
must be remembered, however, that it was
subjected to innumcrable delays, and the
credit Of the undertaking is due to the ef-
forts and labors Of the artist, Mr.. Leonard
". Eolk. To him it las been 4 matter Of
loyc,-love for the work as an artist de-.
sirous Of completing such Il successful anl
finished specimen Of art, ami love for the
memory Of the stateslral whose lanlc and
fame are thus perpetuated. The completion
of this monument and ae statue by
which it is surmornted is a. event in
the history not only Of Mr. Douglas,
but also Of Chicago. The Tract of
land, embracing all Grc'eland Park, was p1r-
chased hy Mr.. Dou.las for something less
tha,, 81 ono Wl~n he laid off the park into
blocks and d-,eways he retained site on
wbic, ,,e.roposed to build Il residence for
hiux,,. This lot lie decided to his wife, and
wen he died she conveyed it to the State Of
illinois as a site for his grave and for this
now completed. The remainder
of the tract is now covered with improve
ments, and the lot OH which the monument
now stands is all Of his once extensive cs-
tate in this city with which Tie name of AIr.
Douglas is identified. The monument with
its statue fifty preserves his identity with
the city and the State lie so ardently loved
and So long served. It was Nr. Vok's good
fortune to be personally and intimately ac-
quainted with both Mr.. Douglas and Mr.,
Lincoln, and his abilities as 4 sculptor have
been shown in his admirable representation !
