fashion of making "Card Collections" we are
having printed for them a set of seven beau
tiful cards each in six colorS and on a gold
back ground. in the very highest degree of
art, illustrating Shakspeare's ''SGyen Ages of
Main" We have spared no expense in these
cards-they are simply little art-gems. Our
only aim has been to publish the finest card
yet shown. Applications for them have come
in so rapidly that nearly the whole edition i
engaged before the receipt by us of the card
from the artist. We have therefore been
obliged TO adopt the following plan for th2
distribution of the remainder: Nomore of the
gilt Shakespeare cards, seven in the series, will
be sent excepting upon the receipt of a state
ment from grocer that the person applying
least seven bars of Dobbins Electric soap,
with price paid for same All applying III
this manner will receive the full set OF seven
cc"ds gratis by mail. This will insure us that
our friends and patrons get their share Of
these beautiful designs, although it in no
manner repayS us for the cost of the cards.
Your grocer has the soap or will get it. and
the purchase by you of seven bars of it at one
time will secure for you gratis seven really
beautiful cards. The soap improves with age
and is an article of necessity in your houSt
every week. Therefore, you are not asked to
buy useless article, but one that you must
have anyway. Please send US your a7,')rlc
tions at once, and tell your lady friends ma

STATISTICS.

The advance sheets of the fourteenth
annual number Of "Poor's Railroad
Manuel f" have been given to some of the
Eastern papers. The year 1880 takes
rank as the greatest railroad year the
country has yet seen. The dividends
paid were larger in the aggregate than
ever before, the nearests approach to
them being the dividend aggregate OF
1875. The capital stock last year
amounted to 80, $50, 600, 900, and divi-
dends were paid amounting to ST., 100,
600, which was not much more than an
average Of 3 per cent, but large pay
ments were at the same time made to
the owners of the railroad debts. The
gross capital Of the railroads in 1880 was
"a, S97, 000, 900, the interest and divi-
dends slS5, OOO, 900, with average per
cent paid 3.77. The reported net earn
ings during 1880 were S255, 900, 900,
which was $40. 900, 600 more than inter.
est and dividends paid, being So pei
cent on the stock and debts, against 4.S6
per cent in 1878, the highest amount
hitherto reported. Better results still
are confidently expected of the current
year. The total receipts of the railroads
amount to double the national revenue.

A NATIONAL MAN.

The Bulletin says General Hancock is
a gentleman whose sense of proprieties is
as delicate as it is of a high order. He
declines to meet the veterans of the Po-
tomac at their approaching union be-
cause of the critical condition of the
President. General Garfield and he were
brother soldiers in the war that resulted
in the salvation of the Nation. The two
entertain for each other mutual personal
respect. Each has an admiration of the
others ga~llantry in the field.
The two were honorable rivals in the
last National contest for the Chief Mag
istracy Of the Republic. The determine
tion of the people in favor of one left no
~heartburnings in the breast of the other.
The partisan rancor of contending politi-
cal forces was not communicated to them
as individuals or as candidates. The es-
TEEN of the defeated for the victorious
was pleasantly manifested at the inau-
guration ceremonies. Now we have the
other instance of it to which reference is
above made. Such citizenship is not
governed by partisan consideration. Gen.
Hancock is, in the best meaning OF the
term, a national man.

Says the Economist: ut is a great
deal to say that the bank deposits of the
country have increased during the year
more than $500, 600. coo. That assured
ly means prosperity if anything does. 1t
is needless to talk about financial confu-
sion and distress in such a condition of
things. The nation is plainly growing
richer. not poorer; and general disaster
and ruin cannot very well be evolved
from that fact. The country never expe-
rienced such solid good fortune before; it
nsver aoated on such a high tide of pros
perity. With the profits Of the people
in all branches of business and industry
showing at such a high figure as that, it
is impossible to question the real strength
Of the present financial situation.

TIE BOSS MINING CALCULATOR

In our time we have lone something
in the way Of embellishing and making
attractive mining camps. We have also
perused the guided words of many other
Journalists in the same direction. But
we have Just struck the boss in the line.
We allude to the Butte (Montana)
Miner.
1t appears that Helena has been bid
ding for the Northern Pacific Railroad.
The Miner wants the road to pass through
Butte, and as a slight inducement puts
forth the following paralyzing statement
of a few Of the Of the camp;
At its present rate of increase in popula-
ton it will contain in three years $4,000
souls. This estimate is based upon indis-
putable data. At the present time there
are over $40 lod locations that are known
to contain valuable mines-not prospects
but mines upon which sufficient develop
ments have been made to warrant their
classification as such. These are ell To-
Gated in Summit Valley District and, with
one or two exceptions, are 1.5O0 feet IN
length. A few figures will now show that
the lode matter, if placed in a continuous
line. would make over 60 miles OF an ar
gentiferous ore body. Now. let us enter
into a little calculation and find the value
of this great deposit. The lodes will aver.
age six feet in width, and will be probably
worked to a depth Of 5000 feet. This
gives 6,48O. 600, 900 cubic feet Of ore
Counting Is cubic feet to the ton. we have
432, 900 tons Of ore to treat. We Will now
place the value Of the ore at the low rateol
500 per ton, we have the enormous sum OF
$25, 900, O00. 900. When we get fairly to
work we expect to ship annually 500, O0O,-
600. il this annual shipment shall be
kept M. it will require $50 years to work
out the known mines of this district. In
this calculation we have not taken into
consideration the hundreds Of lode loca-
tions in this and contiguous districts which
NAV prove to be equally as valuable.
Now we will carry this calculation a lit
tie farther and ascertain the amount q
work we will have for a railroad to perform
The ore, bullion and matte shipments foI
the present year will reach about S3,0O0.'
900 in value. While this sum is being pro
dnced labor is given to 1900 men. Thii
number added to their families make 5,OOt
souls who derive a living from mining pur
suits. Now by solving a little problem IL
Simple Proportion, We find that when We
shall ship annually ore and bullion to the
value of 500, 000, 600 we shall have a pop
ulation of 165, 900. Last year the imports
and exports of Butte amounted to abou
Is, 900 tons. 1t will not fall far short o
25, 900 tons this year. Another simpl'
sum will show that when we shall receiy'
our full population Butte will furnish
transportation annually for about 500 ,00'
tons of freight. .
We wonder what would be the result
if the statistician Of the Miner had sucl
a magnificent camp as Eureka to writ

Savage incline has receded % feet
since the bulkhead was opened. They
will start the pumps in three or four days
and pump out the remainder of the water,
when sinking will be resumed. Work will
soon be commenced on the 2300 level also
at taking out ore. On the 1900 level, next
the hanging wall, they have three feet hat
will average S134 per ton, then a stieak
of s feet averaging $50. They calcu tie
that a width of So feet west from the slay
OF the east wall will average S24. They
will probably start with a width of we
square sets next to the hanging wall.
To-day the water had so far decreased at
the Union shaft that there was no more
than could be handled by the pumps;
therefore the tanks were taken off. 1t is
not yet known whether this will prove a
permanent decrease or one caused by the
stoppage of the drill holes.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 20.-In the case OF
Burke vs.. Flood ct al. Referee Latimer

News has reached Oakland of the find
ing Of the body Of Captain W. W. Gillespie,
who was lost in Inyo County In July last,
about 80 miles from Darwin. He left that
place on July 25 for the purpose of To-
eating mines for a San Francisco firm, and
was moi heard Of or seen after that date.
On the 14th instant a party OF travellers
came across the body, partially eaten by
coyotes and badly decomposed, which, on
examination, turned out to be that Of the
lost Captain. The body was buried where
found.

it. Besides the box contained two large
bars of gold bullion, valued at S29, 600, hut,
strange to say, the robbers put the bars
back into the stage. probably concluding
that they were too heavy to carry. There
were only two passengers on the stage, but
they were not molested.

That Normal School,

Apro:os OF Senator Of Burgess late

seen that steps had previously been Ia.
ken looking to that end:
MIR. Editor: The buildings Of Cor
Onal Institute were offered to the State
Tor the use Uf Il Summer Normal School
about two months ago. when the Board
Of Education i'll their report to the Leg
islaturc recommended the establish
mcnt Of such schools. During the last
days of the Legislatures bill was passed
authorizing the Board Uf Education to
establish three summer Normal Schools
but with the expectation of the Pea
body Fund paying expenses. lmmedlat-
" the buildings Of Coronal Institute
were rendered to he Board by myself
and pcrsounllyby MIR. Gid g. johnson
at my request. II the needed crpectttn-
cy ever arrives the school will be es-
tablished and syn Marcos will stand u
good chance for one OF them. am OF
the opinion there will lie no Normal
Schools this summer. The former
agent OF the Peabody Fund, DIR. Sears.
attempted one last summer. but the
teshcrs showed SO little interest he
soon desisted. The object intended is
better reached at less expense by the
schools under consideration than by
the Normal schools that run through
a scholastic yeur.
