hOW MINES ARE WORKED.

II wish you would tell me about
the way men get gold and silver out
of a mine my DEAR" said a lady in
East Laramie, the other evening, to
her husband, and he peeled off his
coat and sat down in three chairs for
the evening.
"Well, what kind of mine do you
wish to hear about; gold or silver,
quartz or placer, deposits or refined
lead
"Well, all of them briefly. I want
to know whether they scrape off the
gold from the under side of the ground
and wash the dirt off in the creek, or
how it il"
"Well, they don't scrape off the
underside of the ground exactly.
There you are in error. In placer
mining they have to collect the dust,
and pan it out with gold PAN"
"Oh they have to use gold pan,
do they? That must be what makea
mining SO expensive. Does the pan
have to be solid gold ?"
mo. 1t isn't made of gold; it is
simply to pan gold, hence the name
In quartz mining the prospector finds
first the float, and, tracing it to the
lead he begins to dig for the purpose
of ascertaining how extensive it is
and what it will assay"
"Oh, that's it. I thought they
first bored into the ground with 8
pay stroak until they found the shaft
and then they drifted for the assess
ment, and when they found that, they
lust Put a blast in the Indications
and salted the dump. Now, it seems
that you don't do that way. Yor
follow up the micacious slate till yor
strike the bias fold. Then you see i
ycu can find color that matches witt
the copper stained trillobites thai
you prospect, and you"
"No, l must stop you there; you
are getting little off the vein. Yor
probably have the right idea, but
you are using terms that are not cor
rect. After they get tbs wall of the
rock on the dump and pinch out the
night shaft, they salt the contract anc
blast the vertical chillblain. Ther
they drift for the blossom rock, baleo
hay and poverty, till they strike the
varicose vein. After that it is {

THE BACK TAX PENALTIES.

The Times Of last evening contained two COL
umns in defense of the proposition to relieve
the mines of Storey county of the payment OF
the back taxes. 1t gave pretended history
of the compromise made between the officials
of Storey county and the Bonanza firm, but
omitted to give some of the most important
facts. When this compromise was made, the
case was pending before the Supreme Court
of the United States, which is VIGOROUSLY
leakv body, and agents of the Bonanza firm
in Washington astertainod that the decision
would be in favor of the county, and tele-
graphei this information. Then the attorneys
of the mines rushed into court, by calling the
Judge up at night, and agreed upon a COM
promise. The District Attorney skill
fully hoodwinked into agreeing to the
compromise, but the Supreme Court of the
State declared the compromise Illegal Now
comes Col. Fair worth 81, GOO. 600. AID holds
out his palm for charity to the Present Legi'-
lature. Some of the Storey county memt'eIs
are advocating that his claims should be al
lowed. These men seem to have forgotten
the fact that the sixth plank in the Storey
county Democrtic platform, to which they
were pledged, reads as follows:
Recognizing the Importance of maintaining
Just and uniform system of taxation through

HANENOR'S ASYLUM BILL.

The most feasible Asylum Bill yet before
the Legislature is one introduced by Mr..
Havenor, providing for the erection Of an
Asylum for the insane, at an expense of $780,
900. The bill provides that Ormsby county
shall donate not less than twenty acres Of
ground as site for the buildings. The build
ings will be erected by convict labor, from
stone taken from the States Prison quarry
This bill has decided advantages over the
Powning Bill, insomuch as it asks but $780,
600, whereas the Powning bill asks for SS0, 600
The rock from the States Prison quarry can
be transported to the proposed site of the
Asylum at 81 perch, while to transport the
stone to Reno by rail would cost several
thousand dollars. Havenors bill provides
that work shall begin within ten days after
accepting the plans, and also stipulates that
the contractor shall forfeit $3.50 day for every
day it requires to complete the building after
the time agreed upon by the Commissioners.
This clause will prevent the delay in building
so favorable to Langdon & Clark.

The Bloomington Bulletin has the fol-
lowing to say of the militia system of this
state and there is world of truth in its
utterance: s aa
1.-THE Illinois militia organization, if we
NAV Judge from outward indications, is in
a languishing conditions indeed in a
state Of great weakness, and its early dem.
Use may be anticipated The ailment
which afflcts the Illinois National Guards
is complicated one, and has been dag
nosticated as follows: The first great
cause is adverse legislation at Springfield;
second, politics; third, weakness, indecis-
ion, lack of backbone, unwilGngness to
enforce discipline among subordinates. and
incompetency of high commanding officers;
fourth, incompetency, jealousy, envy, bick-
erings, INSTRUMENTATION, and lack of disci
pline among subordinate field officers; fifth,
dlstrust among the rank and file, resulting
from all these causes. This diagnosis was
made, we believe, by consulting physic-
ian.w who expresses the opinion that there is
but one hope, and that weak one, for a
favorable termination of the case, and that
is that several officers of high rank shall
send their designations to general head
quarters. 9

TO use il. Yesterday he did; he cast it
for himself. No democrat viii dispute the
win Of the majority-thatis a Republican
trick-and Mr. Davis took his seat with
no demurrer; but at the same time many
men wondered to see the man, who had
voted for the democratic organization last
Spring, because the democrats were then
in power and he did not believe in
there then being ousted, vote to GUST
another democratic organization simply
because he was the opposition candidate.
He declared that he did not feel bound to
act with the republicans, but republicans
declare he is. Malone got what he wanted
from the republican party. and has been
voting with them ever since. Davis has
now secured one of his desires, VIII he still
continue to vote with the democrats, or
win aisudden conversion of opinionoperate
in his case The democrats did their duty
in electing Bayard, if the republicans with
the aid of Malone and their candidate
choose to reverse that action there is moth
ing further to say. DAVID Davis wanted
the presidency and the republicans
being willing, he took it. There is nothing
more to say.

Yesterday the British Government was
fit to arrest Parnell. That arrest was made
because he saw fit to antagnoize the Land
Bill as passed by Parliament. That arrest
was wrong; wrong in many ways, at least
it seems so to us Americans. 1t was an
attack upon the right of independent
thought; upon the right of free speech
1t was an attack on rights which Ameri
cans must ever reverence. Parnell had OPP
posed the present Land Bill In that he
was wrong The Land Bill was, Glad
stone claimed, an attempt to relieve the
Irish people of share of their burdens
and it was nothing more than fair that q
trial should be given it. This trial Mr.
Parnen fought against, and in this fight
he was wrong. No harm to Irish interests
or Irishmen would have come from that
trial; and if the Bill proved successful
more concession could have been expected
But in his arrest atotally different question
springs up. 1t is not whether Parnell was
right or wrong in his fight against the
Land Bill. That does not enter into this
matter. It is whether or no free speech is
allowed IN Great Britain. Whether free
thought and action independent OF dicta-
ton will be allowed Mr.. Parnell may
have been wrong in his opinions, the ques
ton is, does that constitute a wrongful
action America claims to be a country
OF free speech; does 1t then recognize any
excuse in England for restraining it I?

The terrible loss of life in the mill fire at

The terrible loss of life in the mill fire at
Philadelphia yesterday is of more than pas
sing notice. The fire could not be guarded
against but the deaths could. Mills will
catch on fire, but lives of inmates can be
saved. Had there been anything like
fire escapes in that mill there would have
been no such fatality, but the fire escape
were wanting and men and women went
down together to terrible death. 1t was
greed for gain which caused the death of
those workingmen and women. Had the
mill owners cared as much for the safety of
their employees as they did for the size of
their pocket books, those casualties could
have been averted. But desire to make
all they could was the ruling passion and
for that reason they neglected their labor
ers safety, and looked only to their own
profit. There are laws in many states to the
effect that proper fire escapes shall be pro
vided; can not they be enforced, and the
lives of the workingmen protected.
