Providence Mountain Mines.

We clip the subjoined items concern
ing the Providence Mountain mines
from the San Bernardino Iader of the
10th Instant
Fine new hoisting works for the Con.
Mining Co. arrived here to-day, and
will be forwarded without delay to the
mine in Providence district, this county,
where everything is in readiness to put
them in place at once.
This property was sold to New Y ork
capitalists but few weeks since and
they now have large force of men rap
idly developing the mine to greater
depth, and adding hundreds of tons of
most wonderful rich ore each week to
the now large dumps mined and piled
up ready for reduction, as well as add
ing thousands of tons to the reserves of
the mine.
This company are having built at the
Union Foundry OF Prescott, Scott & Co.,
San Francisco, q very fine mill which
will be completed and ready to ship
within ten days. This mill will have
every Improvement known for the saw
ing of labor and close working of the
ore. j. B. White, one of the best mill
builders on the Pacific Coast, will have
charge of the building of the mill and
agree to have it completed and in run
ming order within thirty days after the
arrival of the machinery at the mine.
We expect to see this mill yield more
bullion to the number of stamps than
any mill in the west, owing to the high
grade of ore these mines produce.
The Rather Con. Mining Co., also To-
Gated in the same district, and purchas-
ed by Eastern capitalists, is being rapid
ly developed and has large amount of
rich ore on the dump. A mill will soon
be placed on this mine.
Both of these mines will soon be divi-
dend paying properties. With such
showing in the Providence district, we
may soon expect to see that portion of
our county rank as the first bullion pro-
ducing district of California. Mr.. d. B.
Gillette, Jr., one of the most competent
mine managers in the West is in charge
of the work.

By Universal Accord,

AYERS CATHARTIc PIhhs are the best of all purga-
tives for family use. They are tho product Of
long, laborious, and successful chemical investi-
cation, and their extensive use, by physicians in
their practice, and by all civilized nations proves
them the best and most effectual purgatiye Pill
that medical science can devise. Being purely
vegetable no harm can arise from their use, and
being sugar-coated, they are pleasant to take.
In intrinsic value and curative powers no other
Pills can be compared with them; and every per-
son, knowing their virtues, viii employ them,
when needed. They keep the system in perfect
order, and maintain in healthy action the whole
machinery of life. Mild, searching and ehectual,
they are especially adapted to the needs of the
digestive apparatus, arrangements of which they
prevent and cure, if timely taken. They are the
best and safest physic to employ for children and
weakened constitutions, where a mild but effec-
tual cathartic is required

Precept and Practice.

The one hundred and fortieth ami
versary of the founding of the Chamber
of Commerce of New York was celebrat-
ed recently by banquet, of which the
two hundred and twenty-five members
of that body, and number of distin-
guished gentlemen, their guests, par
took. Mr.. Joseph w. Keifer, Speaker
Of the House of Representatives, re-
sponded to the first regular toast, which
was 'sthe President of the United
States. Mr.. Keifer's speech contained
nothing Of a novel character beyond the
assertion that the country twas never
better or purer, individually and official
ly, than it is to-day.
Although Mr.. Keifer, with charming
innocence, qualities this assertion by
saying that he makes it so far as he
s'can do so properly" it is not possible
that he can be forgetful of the fact that
he himself is the Speaker who appoint
ed Representative G. M. Robson, Of
New Jersey, Chairman of the Commit
tee on Expenditures in the Navy De-
partment, second on the Committee on
Appropriations, and to the same posi-
ton on that on Naval Affairs. Nor can
he be so oblivious of the possibility of
sin in public officials as not to imagine,
occasionally, that the coming appropri-
alton for navy may throw, possibly,
temptation in the way of the hitherto
virtuous Mr.. Robson as committeeman,
and the heretofore upright Mr. Chand-
ler as Secretary of the Navy. Every
body, except the good Mr.. keifer, is
aware that, when the former gentleman
was Secretary of the Navy and the lat
ter lobby agent for John Roach, the
purity attending transactions in which
these gentlemen took part officially was
not absolutely startling to the country.
Mr.. Speaker Keifer's speech was made
after he had dined, perhaps "heavily;"
but, rather than let desire for origin
ality carry him to such an extreme, it
were better that he confne himself in
future to the regular thing in replies to
toasts at public dinners.

Opium Eating.

The extent to which the abuse of
opium may enslave and degrade an edu-
Gated American is graphically depicted
in recent brief dispatch from Portland,
Oregon. An eminent lawyer of that city
was found dead, at high noon, in Chi
nese opium den.
In all of the Pacific States there exist
laws which punish the opium seller as
we'll as the opium eater, but they are
enforced, generally, in perfunctory
manner by the police authorities, and,
even where this is not the case, do not
seem to be productive of much good. A
person on whom the habit of eating
opium has once fastened is well-nigh in
curable. We need not read the
lives of Coleridge, who took the
drug in the shape of laudanum
and De Quincy in order to arrive at the
conclusion that the deadly fascination
is greater than that of the wine cup,
for, while killing at last, it is habit
that cannot be abandoned save at fearful
risk. Yet the vice is steadily growing
amongst US, and further repressive
measures are imperative. Laws are
needed which will protect an opium
eater against himself. He should be
sent to an asylum or hospital, as con-
firmed drunkard is. If he be minor,
or married man, his parents, in the
one case, and his wife, in the other,
should be empowered to recover dam
ages from the proprietor of the opium
den-iust as, in some States, wife may
recover them from him who sells to her
husband intoxicating liquors. The fact
that an American citizen is discovered
dead in an opium den should make the
proprietor punishable for manslaughter,
without the necessity of any further evil
dence whatever. If at one time it was
necessary to punish horse stealing by
death, assuredly the sapping of our ma
tional existence is worthy of condign
punishment.

WE desire to say to our friends that
we regret exceedingly our inability to
supply the demand for the ILLUSTRATED
HERALD. OF the large edition publised
not even an office copy remains, but in a
very short time the new edition will is
sue, and we shall be able to meet the
situation. The ILLUSTRATED HERALD
will appear in an enlarged form, and, it
is believed, will contain more informa-
ton concerning our city and county
than any other publication extant.

A clergyman had just finished his SER

A clergyman had just finished his SER
mon few minutes before church time
and wanted to consult his new encyclo-
padia on the building of the lark. "
Under ark he was referred to cataclysm,
from cataclysm he was referred to del
uge, from deluge to flood, from flood to
Noah, and from Noah back to ark,
where he started from. Then he shut
up the book in despair and started for
church. The editor and the theological
contributor to the encyclopaedia had had
a falling out, and the topic mentioned
above had been left unwritten until the
last moment. The compiler, seeing the
vacancies, filed them up with cross ref
erences, as they are called, with the re-
suit of making cross clergymen.

Absentee COnsuls.

The trouble in Egypt is assuming daily
greater proportions, and, in case of seri-
Gus complications, the English Govern
ment, burdened as it will be by the me-
cessity of increasing the army in Ire
land, may be compelled to lose prestige,
if nothing more. Although this coun-
try has no concern, one way or the
other, in the upshot of the controversy,
our government is certainly entitled to
receive from the Consul General to that
country information which he is paid
to collect, inst as others of his profes-
sion.
Following the illustrious example of
the Consul of the United States at Glas-
gov, who lives in London, gentleman
named Wolf, who was appointed to the
position of Consul General at Cairo a
year ago, at a salary of four thousand
dollars, had been making a tour of Eu-
rope, and is now in Washington, having
been at his post for just fortnight Of
his time. A fraction less than three
hundred dollars per diem seems little
too much pay for the services of Con-
sui General, but perhaps Mr.. Wolf is
one of those who, according to Mr.. Mac
Veagh, late Attorney General of the
United States, received preferment in
the civil service because of "questiona-
bic services" rendered to the cause OF
great moral ideas. His present service
to the country, however, is something
other than questionable.

THERE is something decidedly wrong
in the official manner of handling the
Chinese on board of the Altenower.
After the authorities of the quarantine,
aided by the harbor police, had restored
comparative order, the coolies refuse to
allow the physicians to do their duty.
Why is this refusal permitted, and for
what purpose are the officers of the
harbor police employed! Would white
sailors engaged in mutiny be treated
with like leniency?
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1882-05-18

SOME of our highly esteemed brethren
on the other side Of the house affect to
believe that the tidings of the coalition
between Blaine and the "sore-heads" of
Pennsylvania, who have risen against
the Boss, is an improbable story, and the
supposition that he proposes to take an
active part against the stalwarts in the
canvass in the middle States is simply
absurd.
This kind of whistling for the purpose
of keeping up its courage on the part OF
the Republican press OF the coast is in
itself sufficient evidence of knowledge
of the true facts of the case, and viii inn
pose only upon those whose acquaint-
ance with public affairs is gained exclu-
sively from the perusal of newspapers
wherein facts are garbled or suppressed.
The truth of the matter is that the
revolt in Pennsylvania is the beginning
of one that will be general throughout
the country 1t is the protest of men
who can no longer stomach the stalwart
creed of "bossism and spoils-men
whom the Chronicle, of San Francisco,
terms discouraged Republicans" and
who, at the coming Presidential elec-
ton, will, very generally, support the
Democratic candidate. From time
ante-dating the Chicago Convention
there have existed symptoms of lack
of accord in the Republican ranks.
These symptoms increased in gravity
during the brief administration of Mr..
Garfield, and the disease has now de-
clared itself. Why the statement of the
Eastern press to which we have referred
should seem improbable we cannot un-
derstand. Mr.. Blaine's place is with the
sheep rather than with the wolves, and,
if he does not enter into league ofen-
sive and defensive with Mr.. Mitchell
and his followers, where Is he to go to,
and what will become of his Presiden-
tial aspirations?

A Sign Which Conquered.

A Wayne county farmer who is much
annoyed by tramps came to Detroit q
while ago and had half dozen signs OF
"Small-pox-Beware!" painted to post
up on his house and grounds. Although
he had one on either side of his gate.
they had not been up two hours when a
rover passed between them and knocked
on the door and asked for food.
"Did you see those signs on the
gate?" demanded the farmer.
"Yes'r, but | can't read"
The next one said he was near sighted
and thought the sign read ''for sale. y
The third had had the smallpox and
was willing to nurse the family. The
fourth had been vaccinated and was
reckless. The fifth had remedy to
sell and the sixth, after getting away
with cold bite, turned to his benefac-
tor and said:
eff you want to beat the boys knock
down them signs and put up one read
ing: Help wanted. 1t never fails to
keep 'em jogging stra, ght along"
The farmer followed the advice, and
he hasn't had call since.

Railway Cars With Libraries.
IN. Y. World. May 7th.l

The special train which left the Penn
sylvania railroad depot at Jersey City at
noon yesterday was an object of interest
to more than the few prominent gentle
men and newspaper reporters who,
under the care of Mr.. Samuel Carpen-
ter, the general Eastern passenger
agent, were making an excursion to
Long Branch and back for the purpose
of testing two new cars which hereafter
are to form feature of the Chicago Ex-
press whish leaves Jersey City at 9
o'clock daily. Car No. 26S was dining
room car exclusively, having accommo-
dations for seating large number of
persons and having all the advantages
of an excellent hotel in the matter of
kitchen room and larders. When this
car is attached to the Chicago Express.
breakfast, lunch and dinner will be
served at regular hours during the day.
The other car, No. 70l, is a boon to
smokers. 1t is elegantly upholstered
and has well selected library for the
convenience of travellers. In it the
smoker can find all the comforts he
could wish, comfortable lounging chairs
in which he can doze and smoke all day.
1t is probable that similar cars will be
put on the Long Branch route during
the summer.

in the preceding year. The city has 1888
factories, employing 4, 456 hands. and a
new cotton factory, with 90, 900 spindles is
about to start. The city debt has been
reduced $362, 300
The South has lumber resources which
for the present may be considered mex.
haustible. Arkansas. for instance. is
supposed to have Al, 1926, 900, 900 feet of

600, 900 feet. The coal and iron re-
sources of the South are very great. and
have scarcely been touched. The South
has 252 cotton mills, with a capital of
$41, 241 ,450, and 1887, 400 spindles and
2O,609 looms. Hardly less important is
the attention now paid in the South to
fruit crops. farm animals, poultry, and
kitchen vegetables. And as the present
year has been exceptionally prolific, all the
transportation companies doing business
with the South expect to have an I'm.
commonly brisk autumn. 1t is a noto-
rious fact that the South avoids business
speculations, and that it tries hard to
work with its own capital. In this lat
ter respect 1t is not as independent as is
the West, where money was easy at six
per cent, while it was at seven in Boston
and not abundant at that But the pres
ent season bids fair to make the South
nearly independent, and to give a new
turn to the business of the whole country.
The time is probably past forever when
the South will import breadstuffs, and
the time is approaching when it will ex-
port corn and wheat.
