WHEN the Congregational church
at Easton, Massachusetts, was de-
stroyed by fire Oliver Ames told the
subscription committee that if elect
ed lieutenant governor he would
give $500 toward rebuilding the
edifice. Gen. Butler thought some
votes might thus be influenced, and
made a similar offer on condition
that he be elected governor. The
Congregationalists have won both
stakes.

The Financial Chronicle in speak
ing of the recent great Democratic
tidal wave and the comforting COM
mercial outlook, says: "This quiet
substitution of one party for another
simply tends to strengthen conf
dence, as it gives new evidence OF
the power of the non-officeholding
class, by their votes, to administer
reproof when it is needed. The
people have not changed masters,
but have simply asserted their SOW
ereignty."

The Republicans are calculating
that the errors of Democrats will
bring them into power in 1884. Ger
tainly discretion has been learned by
bitter experience. There must be
no fighting on empty issues. There
must be retrenchment and reform in
the civil service; there mast be less
taxes, far less protection, and the
rule in all legislation must be that
the greatest good shall be extended
to the greatest number of people.

THE French government increases
its expenses. A vast sum is paid for
large standing army, and yet there
is but little disposition to emigrate
to avoid heavy taxation or draft into
the service. The German people, on
the other hand, hasten in great num-
bers to avoid both. The French

action Of the water. 1t was supposed
when the Long Tom made its appear
ance that the great dcsideratum for the
miner had t,tei, reached and that 1t was
useless to pursue further investigations
looking to the improvement nf mining
appliances. but one by one other boxes
were added with cross bars or " Hunga-
ram " rifles placed within them, and
as no gold reached the '''Tnm' it was
finally laid aside and the string Of
sl,,icc boxes on ''hOrses' succeeded the
former clumsy appliances. This change
was effected in the years 80 and ':,3 and
miners appeared to feel satisfied with
their means for working the rich p!Ac-
crs. Up ~ this time it was thought that
all collaborating gravel and dirt must he
washed in rockers, bumpers or tightly
cOrked sluicc boxes. But in ~ II was
found that gold could he saved in
ground sluice and where the fall was
sufficient to admit Of this mode of min-
ing II was adopted. Much more dirt
could bc disposed Of and no lifting pow
cr was required to subject it I" the
washing process. \ great deal had
been gained. Square rods Of " placer-'
could be- washed where heretofore
square feet was disposed Of The little
rocker and >luicrs were still used to
some extent in IL few localities, but the
"Bumlrr" and Long Tom were left
to crunblc and decay upon the huge
piles Of tailing~ ar permitted to be COW
cred with ''-lickcns." In the meantime
bitches had been constructed I" convey

districts in the State. With this .li~tri-
button nfwi,ter the shallow placer$ soon
yielded up their treasures and the deep

these successfully raiuireda still further
advance in the science Of mining. This
advance was made with the substitution
Of the hose and pipe for ground sluicing.
With the inauguration of hydraulic
mining commenced the washing away
crous gravel To facilitate the work
tunnels have been run into immense
deposits Of gold hearing gravel and
blasts composed Of from $50 to 3W kegs
Of powder discharged therein to shattcr
or break up the tenacious bodies of
ground.
II will thus he seen that great im-
pr0vcmcnt has been made in placer
mining during the last third of II centu-
~. The pan, 1.-THE rocker, the bumper,
the Long Tom, the sluice, the ground
sluicc and the hydraulic have each sue
ccc'lcd the other in the order named.
While all the former modes of surface
mining were considered complete in
their day each was compelled to give
place to the other as the conditions in
mining changed. There is probably no
mining appliance which is associated
with 50 many pleasant "reminiscences of
the aged pioneer of the Pacitic Slope as
tn" little rocker. Around ii once clus-
tered all the hopes of the .Argonaut; his
waking hours were spent in its colnpa-
ny and in dreams ut night he would
gather its hidden treasure to his we'll

past and long ago crumblcd to dust its
memory is still dear to the brave pio-
neers who led the van and brokethe trail
which opened up fortunes to those who

The Mountain Consolidated Mine.

The Mountain Consolidated Mining
Company was organized during the past
year, with capital of S+,MO,M0, to
work several valuable lode claims in
ing District, but north Of the town site
Of the city Of Butte, Montana. These
claims are contiguous, and are known
as the Mountain, the Burnett, the Buff
falo and the Lowville, having II length
on the lode Of =, 100 feet, and covering
an area Of - G4-lOO acres. ...5
The Mountain lode was discovered in
1864, and it is now stated that there are
in sight in the mines owned by this
company not less than 5000 tons of free
silver ore and 5000 tons Of firSt-cass
copper ore.
Mr.. James \. Talbot Of Butte is
President of the company and Mr.. Geo.
F. Prescott Of Salt Lake, Secretary.
The officers and trustees generally are
men whose reputation for business, skill
and energy guarantee the successful flu
turc Of the company. So recent has
been the formation of the latter that the
extensive improvements proposed have
not yet been put up, but contracts have
already been let for the erection Of a
forty-stamp mill and tirst-class hosting
machinery. A three-colnpartments shaft
will he sunk ut once and levels and
crosscuts run to develop the vein
which appears to he very wide, below
water level.

OF the company, attends to its general
business at the New York office. No. 7s

organized under the general laws of
the Territory of Montana, which secure
to companies the largest freedom of ac-
ton in corporate action consistent
with the security Of third persons and
stockholders. Thesto is full paid and
unasscssable, and the title of the COM
pany to its mines is by direct grant from
its original lmtentceS.
The Mountain lode is characterized nv
the same leculiarities which pertain to
many Of the other more important leads
of the district, being II double vein like
the Alice, the Magma Charta, Gagnon
and Original, with granite walls and
heavy clay seam or porphyry horse sep
arating the two veins.
