Failures among country merchants
create an occasional rifle Of disturb
ance in monetary circles, though our
local market has thus far been only
slightly affected thereby, yet more or
less u~neasiness results whenever news
arrives of these evidences Of over
trading and expanded credits. The
current rate for discounts remains un-
changed at s per cent, which has
been the average rate in southern
markets during the past winter. The
ruling rate in northern cities contin-
ues at 6 per cent. The disbursement
Of semi annual dividends by our
money earning institutions contin-
ues, and is increasing the surplus
available by borrowers here and else
where throughout the country.

CONDITION OF THE RIVERS.
The latest from the rivers above
indicate a breaking up of ice in the
upper Ohio, where the river is rising
at P~ittsburg, also in the side streams
Of that section. The Cumberland and
Tennessee, also Red river are reported
rising, and a general thaw is about to
take place, which will cause rising Of
the waters and resumption Of hsyiga-
ton. At this point a slow and steady
decline is going on, with but little over
two feet on the gauge at noon to-day.
The Ohio, at PittsbEFg, rose ten
inches, with two feet ten inches on
the gauge. AT Cincinnati it is rising,
with ten feet eight inches on the
gauge. AT Louisville tits rising, with
four feet five inches in the canal. At
Cairo it fell one inch, with five feet
Eve inches on the gauge. The Missis
sippi at St. Louis fell four inches, with
eight feet six inches on the gauge.
The Cumberland at Nashville rose
fourteen inches, with seven feet six
inck0s on the shoals. The Tennessee
at Chattanooga rose thirty-tWo inches,
Nth nine feet oRe ipeh on the gauge.
Red rsver at Shreyeport rose seven
inches, WITTY twelve feet eight inches
on the gauge. ArSapsas river fell two
inches at Little Rock yesterday, and
is very shoal between that point aud
Pine Bluff.
MISCELLANEOUS.

A Brides Terror.

The following is told by the Chey enne Sun of recent date: On the west-bound Union Pacific train was newly welded pair, who were as lOy- ing and tender as people in that inter- esting condition of life usually are. They had section in a sleeping car, and were on 0 bridal trip to the Pa cific coast. Near Sidney a wheel on the sleeper was broken, and the train stopped at that place about an hour to put on a new pair of wheels. Here during the delay, Mr. Goodwin, who is the bridegroom alluded to, got out to kick up his heels and look around, and while he was absorbing the beau- ties of nature and some other things about town, the train, which IS one Of those things that doesn't wait for time or the |" tied" quietly rolled cut of town, leaving Mir. Goodwin and carrying away his bride. Then there was cOusternatiOn in Sidney, and Ou board tho Pullman. The bride was in a state bordering on distraction be- cause of her lost liege, and vainly, though fTsntically, did the groom put in his best lOcomOtion to catch the retreating tram. As he and the bride were one, with a very clear case of {" a passenger on board that was left behind, it was fun tO everybody else except the two most deeply interested. Failing to catch the train on foot, ho clambered into the cab of 6 lOcOmO- tive which happened to be pulling about the place, and earnestly solici- ted help. The engineer, tender hearted man with tender, saw how ii was, and proceeded to obtain prop CT authority as quickly as possible, and started with MT. Goodwin on a stern chase after the flying train that was trying to make up an hour of lost time and which was proud of new pair of wheels. Away went the extra locomotive, sped on the wings of love and sympathy and steam. Goodwin petted the engineer ana fireman, and helped to shovel coal, and at Ante lope, 37 miles west, the wild-eyed pursuing husband overlook the heart less cars that had run away with his bran new wife, and soon they were bloomingly happy again in each oth- CTS arms.

Col. Tiffany and the Coal Fields.
 

Col. Tiffany, of the San Carlos Res eryatiOn, has, it seems, reported to Washington that the Deer Creek coal beds are on the reservation. The festive Colonel has peculiar Iways of finding facts upon which to base his conclusions. The executive order es- tablishing the reservation declares tlfat the southern boundary is 15 miles south of the bed of the Gila. Now, the Gila winds, and courses and twists, forming opposite the coal beds an arc 45 degrees to the horizon. Col. Tiffany sent out hIs private sur yeyor, who took out q solar Observa- ton of the coal beds and pronounced them of the reservation by half a mile. Not content with this, the Col Onel went out with him and had him to take another observation. The Col onel knew the first one was incorrect. The surveyor the second time took the observation, and lOl the beds had naughtily moved two miles and half, for they were then two miles inside the reservation. The Colonel was satisfied with that result.
 Now, let us see. The observation, if taken with perfect accuracy would establish the location of the place, when taken, as an absolute fact. If thus having the latitudinal location of another place, with this data the ex- act distance between the two could be asCeTtained. But Colonel TifIany's man of the Galley transit had only one point Tn the prOblem-the coal beds. How could he tell its distance from the bed of the Gila opposite without the location of that point? Impossible. No observation was taken of that point on the Gila, and the whole assumption upon which Tiffany proceeds is utterly ridiculous. The coal may be on the reservation, but Co assume it proven in this flimsy manner, and go Co reporting to Wash ington and sYaggering generally, threatening to drive the lOcators of, IS simply disgusting, and calls for his removal, for such toOlishness on the part of the agent may arouse the h. dians, who are ignorant of the true merits of the case, and then it will be too late to allay the devil aroused by his super OtlclOusness and his unnec- essary demonstrations.

Wildcat Mines.

Parties in the Eas. frequently write
 us, asking about mines in Arizona.
 We are not a mining expert, and if
 we were we should expect to be paid
 for eur services for examining and
 reporting upon mines. There are a great many good mines in Arizona, and some which are not good. A
 party in Boston who desires to invest in mines requests us to ''furnIsh, for his private use, a list of all wilG cat mines in Arizona" We should be pleased to comply with his modest request, but rot having made a per soLal examination of all mines in Ari- zona, nor of one twenty fourth of one per cent. of them, we fear our list would not be worth much. Besides, it is very delicate question to decide whether a mIne Is wildcat or other wise. We have heard some very good experts declare that certain mines were worthless, yet those mines turned out well, and are to-day considered among the best. Others which may be looked upon as good may not turn out so well. Mining is not so sure fer an individual investment as agri- culture and many other legitimate branches of business, but in the az gregate 1t pays greater dividends the many trick |

Silver Nugget.
Boston Ecouomist.l

The reorganization of the Silver Nugget Mining Company has been practically completed. The debts have nearly all been cancelled, and the uitling balance still 10 be seitled will soon be adjusted. SuperInttnd- ent Lennon has gone t0 the mine to start up the work. The Mack Morris mine has been extracting more ore than It could reduce, and the con- pany Is desIrOus of working the Mug get mill upon this surplus, and a sat isfactory arrangement will undoubt- edly be made. Altogether, the outlook for this sadly mismanaged property is encouraging. There must be something very satisfactory in the showing in thIS mine, or the credit ors, who have a thorough knowledge of the facts, would not have accepted stock at the price named, when their own claims could hold the entire mine unless their debt was cancelled by cash payment.
 We have always had faith in this property. Many of our readers own stock which cost them high figures in comparison with present prices, and we believe they will yet realize satis- factory returns. The old stock which is still cut Is in demand at twenty-five to thirty cents, an advance of twenty. three cents from the lowest point reached.
 Indications of active dealings in the new stock are apparent, and the price is advancing.
 The lesson learned in the east in the past few years regarding the sub ject ot mining has been severe and expensive one, but in the end will be like all lessons learned from experi- ence. valuable one.
 Silver Nugget should have been to- day a dividend mine. The money expended upon it should have been more than sufliCIent to have brought it to that point, and had the present management had it at the time, it would undoubtedly have been done. We have, as We have said, great faith iu the future, and hope no mistakes will be made which shall give us req son Co regret our words.
