CHRONICLES OF 1882.
(Bya Pulaski County Repu blican. }

In the first year Of the reign of Arthur
and for some years before, even so far
back as the reign of Grant there lived in
the land Of Egypt, in the part thereof
called Pulaski, one Daniel, sirnamed the
Scribe. Now this Daniel had been scribe
unto the people Of Pulaski in the land of
Egypt for many years and he, Daniel, had
waxed rich NJ the hands Of the people of
Pulaski, until the men OF Pulaski who cast
the vote Of Pulaski, which is in the land of
Egypt, became wroth with Daniel the
scribe and cried out with great voice 1--WE
will no longer have Daniel to be our
scribe" Now when Daniel heard the voice
of the people and learned that he should
no longer be scribe unto the people, his
soul was troubled within him with great
sorrow. Then he called unto Joseph,
whose srname is "Fatty,n and Bob,
whose sirname is "Old Pomposity," and
with weeping and wailng, complained unto
his counseIors, Joseph and Bob, aud this
was the burthen Of his complaint. "Oh!
my friends, the people have become wroth
and will no longer have me for their
scribe, Now | have been scribe unto the
people so long my hands are too tender to
work my feet to soft to tramp; now, oh
my friends, what shall | do if cannot
fatten at the public crb2 | shall grow
lean; my shockles of gold and silver will
take unto themselves wings; my bonds
and bank accounts will be things Of the
past, for know OF no way of adding there
to, except by tilching from the people.
And how am to do that if | am no longer
scribe unto the people9" Then Joseph,
whose sir.name is Fatty" lifted UP his
voice and said: "Oh Daniel, know you not

THE SWANHOLM & co. FAILURE.
1t Was Liquidation, Not Bankruptcy
ALI Creditors Paid in Full.

Henry Swanholm, of the bankrupt
firm of H. Swanholm & Co., of Belle
vue, informs the TINES that, on the
18th instant, all the books, accounts,
and remaining property of the de-
ceased firm were turned over to him
individually, Mr.. Bixby, his partner,
giving him power Of attorney to use
his name in liquidating the affairs OF
the firm.
When the firm made an assign.
ment, last fall, their assets were
valued at $4,000 or $4,000; and
they had liabilities amounting to $685..
600 Since that date dividends ag.
gregating 49,, 064 have been declared
and paid, besides 1900 in preferred
claims. The cost of the assignment
was about $4,000. These amounts,
besides a few small bills paid since
the matter was turned over to Mr..
Swanholm, foot up about $3S,0OO
which is the amount realized from the
sale of the stock.
The Swanholm & Co. failure was
not bankruptcy. 1t was liquida

OUR THOROCGHFARES,
They Are Being Re.surveyed and s'Cor-
rccted.v

Mr.. Wallace, the Secretary of the
Idaho & Oregon Land Improvement
Company, has gone right to work,
taken hold like an old hand at the
business, and has already laid out
work enough to keep him busy for
a month. This morning he began to
survey the streets and avenues at
this end of town, beginning with
Croy street. These thoroughfares
are supposed to be 100 feet wide, but
actual measurement proves them to
vary from a few inches to over a foot
This is quite unimportant now, but
will not long be; and if it were not
corrected, would cause endless
trouble and litigation after this city
shall have grown. The work of re.
surveying and correcting the lines
at this end oftown will occupy about
ten days-at the expiration of which
time the remainder of the town will
receive similar attention.

eastern corner Of the l. & O. Co.'S
land.
This plot is very eligibly situated,
being on high bench overlooking
the town and just below the ditch.
Water can therefore be brought to
every part Of it. It is Colonel Case 5
intention to have the ground SUI
yeyed, laid off into drives and lots,
and to have rows of shade trees
planted along the drives. This will
be done at once, when the bodies
buried in the old cemetery will be
removed to the new one.

Of Failure to Reduce Taxes on the
Dcm0crats-Seyeral Influential Dem
Ocratic Citizens Opposed to Free
Trade.
Wood River times. [volume] (Hailey, Idaho) 1882-1915, 1882-07-15

WASHINGTON, July ia spicy
political debate preceded the consid-
Grafton of the Internal Revenue bill
in the House to-day.
AS this bill passed the House it
provided mainly for the abolition of
the National Bank taxes, or taxes on
proprietary medicines. There was
such a clamor from the West for
reduction Of those taxes that bear
directly on the people that the Re
publican Senators determined to add
to the bill provisions lowering the
duties on steel rails and sugar. The
Democrats hoped that Congress
would adjourn without making any
more reductions than those reported
in the House, because the response
bility for such failure would rest
upon the majority. They could not,
however, consistently vote against
the consideration of the bill as
amended by the Finance Committee,
but revenged themselves by talking
loudly against the measure and re-
fusing to vote.
When the measure came up for de-
bate, early this afternoon, the Demo
Gratis claimed that a reduction of du-
ties was agreed upon by the caucus
because the Republicans were afraid
to enter the campaign next fall upon
the record made thus far by the Re-
publican ma Iority. That the changes
proposed in the tariff laws indicated a
want of confidence in the Tariff Com
mission, and tina. the sections pro-
posed i'll relation to the duty on steel
rails and sugar were q delusion and a
snare intended to hoodwink the peo-
pie and supply the Republican stump
speakers with ammunition for the
campaign.
The Republicans maintained that
the position of the Democrats on the
vote for the consideration of the bill
showed that they were not sincere in
their professions of desire to reduce
taxation.
The Republicans were trihe un.
certain this morning what the ulti.
mate result would be. 1t was as
serted that Hoar and Dawes would
not vote for the bill unless it provided
for a reduction of duty on steel
blooms, firm Of influential stee
manufacturers ia Worcester having
requested the Senators to vote fol
such reduction.
The representative of the sugar
trade were out in force against the
proposed use of the polariscope, as
provided in the bill, as a test to de.
termine the standard of sugar The
sugar men profess to have received
assurances from Republican members
Of the House that the polariscope
feature of the bill will be rejected il
that body, even if it is accepted by the
Senate.
Senator Voorhees, surprised hi.
Democratic friends by making
strong protestation against the bill
and it is asserted privately that Soma
tors Camden and Davis, of West Vir
ginia, Morgan, of Alabama, Call, O
Florida, and one or two other Demo
cratic Senators will stand with hin
against free trade, and majority 0
the Democrats Senators.

BULLIoN's CONTRIBUTIONS.

GOuld Spectmens-Native Silver That
Appears to be an Artificial Pr0duc.
ton.
Specimens intended for the Den
yer Exposition continue to arrive at
Burkhart's. Last evening chunk
OF yellow carbonate and galena ore
from the West Fork mine of the Phil
adelphia company, was received. It
weighed $50 pounds, and was secure
ly lodged in box made Of two-inch
plank. Its assay value is unknown,
but it looks rich-as if it carried at
least 500 ounces silver per ton.
Seven cases Of Jay Gould, four of
Mayaower, one Of Ophir and Bullion,
and one of Eureka specimens were
also received yesterday. They
weighed Il tons altogether. One of
the boxes, containing solid chunk
Of galena showing a three inch streak
of gray copper, and much native and
wire silver, was opened for short
time, to give the crowd that had con-
gregated an opportunity to see it. 1t
is a wedge-shaped piece about 20
inches thick at one end, and IA or Is
at the other, and it will probably as
say 500 ounces to the ton, at least.
1t weighed $50 pounds.
This was only one Of the Jay
Gould specimens. AS stated above,
seven cases of these are sent. They
weigh an aggregate of over IA tons;
but as they are all of solid galena,
they take up very little room in pro.
portion to their weight, and will, be
cause Of this, greatly astonish all
mining men who will see them.
A TIMES reporter, having received
word that the specimens were ready
to box, went up to Bullion last
Wednesday evening to see them.
The sight we'll repaid him the trip.
Ranged on the floor and on shelves
in the Jay Gould office were 200 or
800 pieces of solid, gray copper ga
lena ore, of various sizes. They all
showed native silver in its various
forms, in seams in the rock, in sheets
thin as a film, in wads half the thick.
ness Of a half-dollar, in wires, and
in feathers.
All the specimens were of kline
that could not be duplicated any
where, but one was especially fine
It was piece Of gray copper, weigh
iag half pound and having wac
Of native silver on one side, which
seemed to have been produced arti
iicially. The first thing about i
that caught the eye was a lot O
Feather ends" suspended to mum
Der Of wires fastened upon plate o
solid silver. A close examination
revealed the fact that this silver did
not merely lay on the side of the
piece, as at first supposed, but that i
extended through the rock. This wa.
evident on the other side of the rock
where thin seams of native silve
could be seen. Of course, in such
specimen as this, the dark color of tn,
galena is actually changed, and give.
way to the dull white of silver
: These specimens assay from SOC
to 1000 ounces; but they are unus
|; ually rich, for the experience ha
heretofore been that the presence o
native silver did not very MATERIAL,
increase the assay value Of a vein o
galena ore.
