Somebody writes of feminine type-set-
ting: "As a class, female printer are
diligent and worthy. They never sojer;
they never bother the editor for chew
ing tobacco; they never prowl around
among the exchanges for the Police Ga
zette; they never get themselves full of
bulge and try to clean out rival print
shops; they never swear about the bust
ness manager; they do not smoke the
nasty clay pipes; they never strike for
more pay; they do not allude to editorial
matter as slush or hog-swash-in short,
they are patient, gentle. conscientious
and reliable.

Mining Items.
CUSTER M VICINITY.

The force of the Minnie May mine,
Ruby gulch, has been laid off for a short
time.
Work at the Penobscot is being push
ed uninterruptedly and steady and big
clean-ups are the result.
A full force is at work on the Grand
Junction and the mill is being run to its
full capacity.
The owners Of quartz claims in the
vicinity of Camp Washington are doing
their assessment work and rich develop
ments are expected.
A large force Of men is employed re-
pairing the recent break in the Rocker
vile hume and dam, and will have the
works in good condition in a few days,
when mining will begin In earnest and
on an extensive scale.
The continued rains ofthe past month
or so have at last given the placer
miners on French creek a good sluice
head and they are all improving the
opportunity by making money plenty
while the water runs. On Tuesday in
company with Mr.. Curran we took in
the creek and found every claim run
ming in good shape. Michigan Bros.
on Calamity Bar are working three neil
and have been sluicing for about two
weeks. The brothers who are the most
hospital and obliging men we ever met,
kindly turned off the water and let us
look ut the rifles. Our call was made
about 2 o'clock and they consequently
had only been working 6 or 7 hours, but

Despite the supposed popular cutlery Of Il few
years ago it is evident that the dollar Of the
daddicS'' is not wanted by the children. Up to
the first of April last there had been coined
under the Silver act ll2.O1s $50 legal tender sill
Yer dollars. of these, in spite OF the most in
duStrou> efforts of the Treasury to put them
out. only 33 .097 Were in circulation. and
7S.l7S5S3 We're fatally lodged in the Treasury
II it should be said that the people neglect sill
Yer only because they prefer paper money, the
answer Is that of 1862 900. 000 of gold coin in the
country last November nearly $400. 000. 900 were
III circulation. or at any rate outside of the
Treasury. The truth is, that the owners of sill
Yer mines were mainly instrumental in secur-
ing the passage of the silver act. which they
claimed would raise and steady the value of sill
Yer. But it has had Just the contrary effect.
When Congress ordered the coinage of legal
tender silver dollar il worth ninety-three
and onG-tenth cents: ii is now worth less than
eighty-lline cents and it is clear that. as the
principal European nations have stopped COIN
Ing silver, our Silver act places upon the peo-
pie OF this country the sole and costly burden of
Il futile attempt to bolster up silver. The issue
OF SILVER certificates mtenSlfleS the evil of the
danger arising from the continued coinage of
legal tender silver dollars. These certificates
are used i'll place of gold TO pay customs duties.
and through this substitution we are beginning
to lose gold-the money of the world-which
has begun TO flow to Europe. Legislation in
the interest of sound and stable currency is
therefore necessary. The President and Secre-
tary of the treasury have recommended to Con-
gre>s that provision be made for the early re-
tirement of silver certificates, and that only
such an amount of silver dollars shall be neces-
Sary to supply the demand. The House Com
mittee on Banking and Currency having given
these recommendations careful consideration
have prepared a very conservative bill. 1t does
not propose 10 withdraw the silver certificates
now outstanding and it provides for the coin
age of silver dollars to the full demand bv the
country. If the people want these pretended
dollars, worth less than ninety cents they can
have thcm but we are inclined to think the
dollar of the daddies" will be given "a long
rest.
