Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1882-05-11

EVERY decent man and good citizen should
set himself sternly against all de6ers of law.
No man is above it. In all constitutionally-
governed countries it is, it must be supreme.
Even In countries like Russia and Germany,
where the emperors assert the most latitude
marian ideas of government and assume
to be The fountain and source OF all authority
and law, the Public Opinion of the civilized
world is acknowledged to be power which
neither William nor Alexander can safely
or comfortably DEFY. The absoiutist en-
perors must plead at the bar of Public
Opinion, and they have. Assassination is
therefore unjusti6able and cannot be de-
Tended upon any plea. The contrary of this
once admitted, and the cowardly bully would
reign supreme, the constituencies black
guard would rule, the courts would be ter
rorizsd, judges would lie afraid to enforce
the law, policemen, sheriffs and constables
would be subdued, and the pistol and the
knife and the bludgeon would arbitrate all
differences and difficulties between citizens.

Trouble Ahead.

The Northern Pacific Railroad, in
all probability, will experience some
trouble in the Crow Indian country,
Montana, the coming summer. The
Crow country is rich in gold and sill
yer, and the white man having dis
covered this, is encroaching on the
right of the Indians and stalking off
their lands into claims. Col. Brisbin
gives the warning that the Crows will
make a bold stand for their homes,
even to the taking up of arms against
the governments They number 1900
fighting men, but the regulars are be-
ing moved up in that direction from
east and west in force sufficient to pre-
vent any serious results. The railroad
will be pushed, as strong forces of
white men, besides Cinnamon. will be
employed, armed with revolvers, who
in conjunction with the army will be
amply able to cope with the Indians.
The Crows have heretofore been
friendly with the government and
rendered valuable services in the Gus
ter war. They sent out scouts and
warriors to relieve besieged troops, and
also to take prominent part in the
battle of the Little Big Horse. They
were given to understand that they
would not be molested on their linn
tied reservation, and now that they
are to be removed and their lands will
be open to settlement, they are uneasy
and talk of fight. Col. Brisbin says
that he advised them to load their ri
flss and stand pat, but this avails them
nothing, rs they will have to give way
to the march of civilization. Work.
men on the road do not seem to feel
any alarm and are going up constantly.
The end of the road Is not within a
hundred miles of the reservation, and
before they reach that place the In
dians will be disposed of.

A years ago the idea of shipping
oysters to California or even to Ore
gon, would never have been enter
tanned. They were thought to be too
small and in too limited quantities.;
besides, those of Shoalwater Bay
nearly supplied the markets. Since
the failure of them at that bay those
of Olympia have been growing stead
lily in demand, until they now furnish
large supply in the California mar
ket, as well as those of Oregon and
down Sound. These oysters are car
ried in boats, canoes and steamers
from Oyster bay, from Is to 20 miles
northwest of this port, measured, re-
sacked or boxed, and shipped by rail-
road to the Columbia river, and thence
by steamers to San Francisco. Some
six or eight firms are engaged III ship
ping, who, with the exception of two
or three firms that own beds and do
their own Oystering, purchase their
oysters of the oystermen or Indians.
The latter pick them up and sell them
to the oystermen, either at the bay or
at Olympia, and make considerable
money by doing SO. All engaged in
the business have done well, and the
the future. Some of the oystermen
have beds transplanted with them,
and in the future, when the natural
beds are more exhausted, will be able
to supply the markets with finer oys-
ters than they now ship. The supply
of small oysters, however, will never
give out. What the business has been
will readily be seen when it is known
that during the last Is months, which
includes the months dead season OF
last year, over $4,000 worth of these
excellent bivalves have been shipped
from this place.-Otyn.pid Transcript.

Many farms have already mulberry
trees growing upon them, SO that any
farmers wife or daughter can make
the experiment of cnltivating silk at a
very small expense.
We have given room to this informa-
tion regarding silk culture, because it
recommends itself on the score of po-
litical economy, besides offering a
means of earning support, or at
least of assisting many thousands of
women all over the country, who find
it difficult to procure work, or mar

Mica.

Appropos of the numerous mica mines
TO be found in Custer county, nature
very seldom creates a supply without
making somewhere a demand that shall
utilize and develop the treasured re-
sources. 1t is, therefore, evident that
some new uses will sometime in the
near future be discovered for this min
eral, made mp of SO many valuable ele-
ments, beside its use in stoves and in
soles Of shoes, two new uses for mica
have recently been patented. one is Il
compound Of ground mica, flour and
cement, which are mixed, pressed into
shape, and backed for Journal boxes
The other is for use as Il mixer in starc' :
gloss, and oily compositions, the mica
being reduced to an impalpable powder.
Chemistry reveals the fact that mica is
composed Of silica, alumina and potash.
Silica is one of the hardest substances
in nature, represented in its purest form
as rock crystal.
Alumina is also an exceedingly hard
substance, IN its impure form known us
emery or corundum, SO extensively used
in polishing operations; and in its best
estate, it is shown in the ruby and the
sapphire.
Potash the other principal ingredient
Of mica, is we'll known in the arts, the
supply being chiefly from the ashes Of
vegetable life, which has been absorbed
from the supply furnished by the gran
tie rocks. 1t will be seen that science
will yet find a wide field in which mica
will be used extensively.
One use by which the refuse of our
mines might be utilized has been ever
looked here, and if once tested, we are
certain it would find a demand, and that
is in identifying the ceilings and walls
of residences and halls. All Of our
readers are aware how the most minute
particles of mineral Eliminates the beds
of our creeks, and even the dust Of our
streets, like SO many diamonds, and can
imagine how much more beautiful
would be the effect of these brilliant
particles ifthey were mixed in the fin
ishing coat of plaster and put on the
walls and ceilings of buildings, and
especially SO in the evening, one would
almost imagine they were in some ofthe
tabled palaces of old with walls set with
precious stones. Let but one hall in the
Hills be finished in this banner and
we'll guarantee the demand for the
refuse would equal the supply.

Mining Items.

Work on the Old Mike mica mine is
progressing finely.
The shaft being sunk on the New
York mica mine is now within about 8
feet of the lead, which, when reached,
will probably show mica Of a superior
quality.
The Gold Star is running regularly
and a cleanup will probably be made
tomorrow or next day. The plates are
looking better than they did the last
run which went over $6 to the ton.
T. q. Woodbury. is doing the assess
ment work on the Silver Chief mine at
| Camp Washinton. Prof. Hill of Denver
has made several assays on ore from
this mine which averaged 1920 to the
ton in gold.
At:the Junction property things begin
to look ship shape under the manage
ment Of superintendent Mcdonald. A
new bedrock dam has been put in at
the head Of the ditch and the lume has
received an extra covering Of dirt maxi
ing the total thickness Is inches, suff
Client to keep the water from freezing
during the winter. Mr.. Geo. Kimble, a
good amalgamator, and n who has
had considerable experience with the
ore from this mine and succeeded in
saving more gold than any other II
who has tried, has charge of the mill
and has q valuable assistant in Oscar
Elliott. At the mine twelve men are at
work and a new and rich strike has
been made. Everything taken into
consideration, this property never look
Ell as well as it does to-day, and from
the time stamps are dropped, which will
be by Monday at the fartherest, we
predict u continuous output frem the
property that will astonish even the
owners.
Pioneer: For some weeks past, Chas.
Posner and other parties have been
working a silver ledge which is located
on Spring creek. a few hundred yards
west Of Elizabethtown. The shaft is
o down twenty feet, and a body of
high grade carbonate ore has already
been struck that goes $500 ounces to
the ton. 1t is the intention of Mr.. Pos.
ner to put up a smelter and begin ex-
tracing the bullion.
The Galena reduction works are turn
ing out about 81 800 in silver bullion
every other day, and as soon as their
additional machinery is put in, the out.
put will be accordingly enhanced. There
were Il brace of silver bricks at the
Northwestern stage company's office
last evening ready for shipment this
morning, valued at 81 1900, and Brother
Selbie assured us that they were every
other day episodes.
