The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1882-12-09


1t is apparent by this exhibit that so far as
concerns most of the items to which the act
of August 2, 1882, relates there can be no need
of further appropriations until after the
close of the present session. ii, however,
any action should seem to be necessary In
respect to particular objects, it will be en-
tirey feasible to provide for those objects by
appropriate legislation. It Is possible, for
example, that delay until the assembling of
the next Congress to make additional pro-
vision for the Mississippi River improve
ments might be attended with serious oonse-
quences. II such should appear to be the
case just bill relating to that subject would
command my approval. This leads me to
offer suggestion, which trust will commend
itself TO the wisdom of Congress. 1t is not
advisable that grants of considerable sums
of money for diverse and independent
schemes of internal improvement should be
made the subjects of separate and distinct
legislative enactments. 1t will scarcely be
gainsaid, even by those who favor the most
liberal expenditures for such purposes as
are sought to be accomplished by what Is
commonly called the River and Harbor Bill,
that the practice of grouping in such a bill
appropriations for a great diversity of objects
widely separated, either in their nature,
concerned, or in both, i e one which
it is irremedisble. t. Inevitably
tends to secure the success OF the bill as
whole, though many OF the items, II separate
ly considered, could scarcely fail of rejection.
By the adoption Of the course have recon-

The Tobacco Plug Patent Deciar'
ed Invalid.

The United States Circuit Court of
Kentucky, Judge Baxter presiding,
has declared invalid the reissued
patent of Miller g. Worley, 5000,
January 80, 1873. This patent was
for the idea of stamping letters or
other marks by pressure into the side
of the plug of tobacco. Instead of
the usual plain plug, the inventor
produced plug marked with the
makers stamp or other ornamental
ton. This patent was considered to
be of great value; but the court de-
clares it to be invalid on the ground
that Miller was not the original and
first inventor. The testimony show
ed that Edward F. Smith invented
and worked the same thing in 1875.

Highway Robbery.

The Esmerslda Herald says dis
patch from Candelaris, dated April
18th gives the following account of
q highway robbery: j. L. Borland,
well.te.do farmer from Bishop
Creek, and teamster for Frank
Shaw, of Adobe Meadows, were
stopped this afternoon by two high
wsymen, two miles from the end of
the track on the G. s. c. railroad to
Benton and only half mile from
Pat Forey's toll house. Mr.. Borland
was requested to hand over $500,
which the robbers declared he had.
Borland showed Wells, Fargo &
Co.'S receipt for the money, and stated
he hal sent it from Belleville. He
was then relieved of $40, and his
companion of SIC or S14. The men
who were robbed went on to Forey's
and told their storey. Borland and
Shaw's teamster state they can iden
tify the robbers. Parties in Belle.

The wretched imitation of bum

while on his road to. Candelaria.
"Needles" is supposed by . great
many to have the fire of genius hid

bis talent lies entirely in loud voice,
to which whisky gives energy, and

A Project With a Possible Fu-
furA.

There is talk of persuading some
capitalists to run tunnel into Mt.
Grant. There are numerous lodges
cutting this immense mountain in all
directions, and tunnel could be
started at Walker Lake, near Haw-
thorne, which would prospect them
at great depth. Mt. Grant is very
high mountain-about 1000 feet
and its steepest side is towards the
lake. The tunnel would be neces-
sarily long, owing to the size of the
mountain, but it would from the time
of breaking ground be in the prom
Using country. 1t would begin pros
pecting the moment the header was
under ground, and would not have
to run under miles OF barren foot
hills to get under the rich lodges. A
south drift could also be run under
Mt. Cory, and the lodges in this
mountain as we'll as Mt. Grant pros
pected at depth hitherto unattained
from the surface. IKE.

Some time ago the TIMES called

Bowers and other mining experts of

writing from Denver that he can
point out a bonanza in the Crown
Point and Belcher. He also owes
one in the Gould & Curry, and could
kill two birds with one stone ny
coming on with his witch hazel and
marking out the boundaries of the

claim the credit, and it will be proof

ore bodies in the several mines along

these is uncovered, the reputation of

A Splendid Success.

The May number of our home il
Illustrated magazine, The Californian,
opens with full page portrait of the
poet Longfellow, which, it is not too
much to say, is the finest piece of
engraving ever done on the Pacific
Coast. The publishers have not
spared time, money, or trouble in
making this picture the best that
could be produced. Prof. Sill has in
the body of the magazine an article
on the dead poet that is at once dis
corning and appreciative.
A pr"fusely illustrated series OF
"Studiss of the California Missions"
by Frances F. Victor, is begun in
this number. So much that is TO.
mantle and fascinating 10 the earlier
history of California is connected
with the Missions, that thes 9 articles
will prove OF unusual interest. nc
lures are given of the Missions San
Gabriel, San Luis Obispo, Carmel,
San Diego, San Buenaventura, and
San Juan Cspistrano. That of tie
Carmel Mission is a full-page sketch
by the well known artist VIM. Keith.

Amelia w. Truesdell has a poem

there are numerous other articles of

The Irrepressible Conflict OF the
Ages.


Starting out from Central Asia in
the prehistoric era, our race, stream
ing north of the Caspian Sea, land
south by Asia Minor, establishing
grand Empires by the way, took
possession of Europe and laid the
foundations of modern civiIiz alton.
Pressing over vest, they discovered
the New World, and, ct length, in
their long march around the world,
have come to halt on the shores OF
the Pacific. No longer will the Star
of Empire westward take its course.
The end has come, aud there Is no
further to go. Here the head of the
column is met by hordes whose vi
cinity they had ages ago abandoned,
not great deal more advanced than
when the Aryians migrated. There
is danger, if Eastern people were to
have their way, that this barbarian
back-water may submerge the civili-
zation for which it Is unified. That
is the Chinese question ig its broad
aspect. Journal. o.

Nickel In Nevada.

done considerable prospecting for
copper in the mountains between
Humboldt and Churchill counties,
and recently while testing some
green looking rock, he found no cop

Gazette reporter. He says he has
three veins of ore, one almost black
by being stained with cobalt, iron
etc, one stained green by copper,
and the other gray or natural nick
ell color. He says his rock yields
from 8 to 3S per cent. nickel, while
the only other mines known only
work between 2 and 2t per cent.
