MORE ISLANDERS REFUZED.

MORE ISLANDERS REFUZED.
Mine jumping has been extensively
practiced in Ruby since the first Of the
month. A large number Of valuable
properties have been re located, prin-
cipally on the theory that the camp is
on the reservation and mines can only
be held by actual possession. These
proceedings will have bad effect on
the camp and deter outsiders from
investments. The same course has
been pursued; though to a less extent,
in Gothic and on Rock Creek. 1t
certainly behooves miners to restrain
the practice if possible.-Gsnuso
Democrat.
The above is specimen Of the few
advertisements which for the past two
or three weeks have been appearing in
the Gunnison Democrat in some shape
OF other. One week it says " the snow
has Just lit SIX feet deep on the new
countless" which SO far as we are con-
cerned here is untrue. In anoth-
er item it says, ga snow slide from
Mt. Carbon has blocked the Ruby
road on Ohio creek" but it fails to
explain that our citizens shoveled a
roadway through in few hours and
that the road IS open to Irwin for,
teams.
There has not been a single claim
relocated in this camp on the pretense
Of its being on the reservation and
we can prove the truth Of what we'say.
Our miners, prospectors and citizens
acknowledge a higher law even thsn
that written in the statutes, namely,
the right of every man to hold the
property he has acquired in good faith
either by purchase or discovery, always
providing, if a mining claim, that he
has performed the lawful amount Of
work upon it. This is moral law
which always has and does and will
obtain in this camp, all slanderous re-
ports to the contrary Notwithstanding.
Were it not for Ruby and the other
mining districts which contribute to
Its support the bcastful city Of GunniT
son, the city Of great expectations,
with its brand new court house, aed
anticipated railway, would now be lin
tied as it was no later than the spring Of
'79. to solitary log cabin upon which

would announce the various pursuits
of the citizen Of multitudinous occn-
pations. rr b. m.
But alas to be human Is to be IN
grateful, and this then is the reward
om miners and prospectors receive for.
their efforts to open up our mineral p
region to which the city Of Cunnison
now 50 proudly boasts Of beins, the /
gateway. This is the reward given
our merchants for the support they >
have contributed to. the Gunnison
papers. I'd - r

MINING INTELLIGENCE

A number of claims are being
worked in the neighborhood Of Grant
Park. -.
The Comstock tunnel, owned by
John McElroy, E. L. Scott and W.
B. Kent is being worked. When they
get in about forty feet they will strike
the vein at probable depth Of one
hundred and twenty-five feet.
We understand that the Mollie Van
lode, situated in Peeler Basin, has
been sold along with group Of other
claims to Louisville Ky. company.
This claim is looked upon as being
one of the best in the basin.
The owners of the Old Mexico and
Durango are running tunnel on the
latter to cut the vein of the former,
which is cross lead. The workmen
are in about a 100 feet, which is very
near the said cross lead. v. A.
Wilder, Of New York, who is one OF
the owners. is expected in camp every
day.

NEWS NOTES.

The Pacific Commercial AdUertiSer reports
that in the third week of March there were
nearly sixteen hundred Chinese immigrants
in quarantine at Honolulu waiting for the
time to land.
According to the N0tha (Russian) we'd
ding festivities in Russia are usually graced
by a general officer, in full uniform, who
comes to give eclat, and receives roubles
or more, according to his decorations.
Emile de Girardin had always a large
white horse to his brougham, which was
painted yellow. This was to enable him to
find it always on coming out of receptions
or dinners. He was very well preserved to
the last, looking many years younger than
he was.
According to the Belgian Constitution
every $4,000 of the population are to be
represented by a Senator, and every 40, 900
by member of the Chamber. The present
number of Senators is 66, and that Of mem
bers of the Chamber 1872. In consequence
of the increase of the population, the Gov
ernment will soon be obliged to propose an
augmentation of those numbers.
The town of Bridgeton, Mo, takes high
rank for cowardice. Valentine Walker a
drunken bully, announced his determine
ton to murder the schoomaster, and pro
ceeded quite slowly and cody to beat his
victim to death with club. Thirty strong
men stood by, and did nothing more than
to expostulate. Nobody had the courage
to arrest the murderer, and he rode away.

THE CANAL.

Major T. NJ Allen, of Geneseo, publish
ed in a local paper the following card III
relation to the Hennepin canal:
! Laws we have and must have restraining
railroads from too much outrage in charges
! and discrimination. At best such laws can
| not be made to regulate them so well as
can be done by water competition. The
rivers lakes and canals prove this conclu-
| sively. The cost of a large commercial
canal, sufficient to carry the entire tonnage
of the northwest, can be made for less than
! five millions, from Hennepin to Rock Is
land.
| The tonnage of the northwest for 1880
was not less than 2O,0O0,O 900. The cost OF
that tonnage was not less than $75 900, 900,
probably 800, 100000. If the canal from
Hennepin to Rock Island had been in OPP
Grafton last year, the people of the north
west would have saved more than enough
to build the canal In ten years the ton
mage of the northwest will be fifty millions,
probably. Then the people of the north
west will save annually, more than twice
the cost of the canal, if in operation. This
is easily understood by comparison OF
charges east from Chicago, and the rates
westward.
A canal from Hennepin to Rock Island
will not only furnish additional and cheap
transportation by water, but will compel
every railway in the northwest to reduce
their charges to a much less rate than IS
now collected by them, not only in sum
mer but in winter, as will be seen by COM
parison of such charges where competition
by water exists. The Erie canal regulates
charges upon all great railroads from ST.
Louis and Chicago to the great cities on
the Atlantic.
This question of cheaper transportation
reaches every acre of land in the north
west The Hennepin and Rock Island ca
nal will give the people of the northwest
MANY millions of money annually, for their
own use Without that canal they must
continue to pour these vast sums of moneys
annually, into the Golfers of the great cor
porations.

Senate goes into Exec
utive Session.
A New Paper Established in
New York.
Miscellaneous Collection of
Daily News.
SENATE.

WASHINGTON, May 6. - In the senate
this morning Mr.. Dawes made an attempt
to secure action on the resolution for the
election of senate officers, but the demo
cratic senators resumed the tactics of alter
mating motions to go into executive session
and to adjourn, until Dawes gave up the
fight for the day, and upon his motion the
senate went into executive session
The Republicans refused to support the
Democratic move for an executive session
to-day but made it themselves showing
they extended to control the business.
The Republicans plans have been upset by
the Presidents coup yesterday and no talk
OF adjournment to-day. All nomina-
tions reported from committees
have been confirmed but there
are about a hundred yet unreported.
Several republican senators this morning
urged the President to withdraw Robertson
to remove all cause of trouble and open
the way for nominations in New York sat
isfactory to all the Republicans. The Pres
ident positively refused saying he desired
harmony, but could not now, after threats
had been made, withdraw Robertson.
COnkling said to-day to Garfield senator
that he was confident as ever that Rob
ertson would be rejected. 1t is evident,
however, that large majority of the sen
ators support the administration, and they
say Robertson will be confirmed within a
week
