Salt for the Throat.

In these days when diseases of the
throat are SO universally prevalent. and
i'll so many cases fatal, remarks an eX-
change, We feel it our duty to say word
in behalf of a most effectual. if not posi-
tive, cure for sore throat. For many
years past. indeed We may say during the
whole of a life of more than forty years,
we have been subject to Il dry hacking
cough, which is not only distressing to
ourselves, but to our friends and those
with whom we are brought into business
contact. Last fall We were induced to
Try What virtue there was in common
salt. We commenced by usng it three
times day-morning, noon and night.
We Dissolved a large tablespoonful of pure
table salt in about Il half a small tumblei
full OF water. With this we gargied the
throat most thoroughly Just before mea
time. The result has been that durin.
the entire winter We were not only free
from coughs and colds, but the dry hack
ing cough has entirely disappeared. We
attribute these satisfactory results solely
to the use of salt gargle. and most cordi-
ally recommend a trial OF it to those who
are sub lect to diseases of the throat
Many persons who have never tried tn,
salt gargle have the impression that it i,
unpleasant, but after a few days use IL

About two weeks ego the public
schools of Gunnison closed down for
the want of funds, and through the
interposition Of Mr.. E. A. Buck, OF
New York, who is largely interested
in Gunnison County, the school has
been re-opened. Mr.. Buck fully
understands the great need of keeping
the public schools open, which 10
doubt is the cause of his generous
offer. There is no better inducements
for families to settle in new country
than TO know that there are good
schools to educate the young. 1t is
really too bad that up here in our
town all winter there has been no
school and the children have been at
liberty to roam at large and grow up
without the privileges ola common
school education. We are coming to
great crisis in this new country of
ours, holding court half of the year
to convict and clear criminals and no
money to run public schools to teach
the young.

Afr. S. P. Spencer, who was elected
clerk and recorder on Tuesday, is z
native of Baltimore. IIe las been
here for two years and is Interested in
some excellent mining property in
this vicinity. He is a thorough prac-
tical book-keeper and accountant as
we'll as good penman, having been
in the wholesale grocery trade before
coming here, and therefore we may
expect the accounts of the city kept
correctly. Mr.. Spencer has rare gen
ial and social qualities about him that
will always make friends for him.
While Mr.. Crow is equally as well
known and popular among the people
as we'll as competent for the office, he
perhaps did not make as good an
effort for tine election. We know of
number who did not vote because
they said they were friends to both
candidates. and if they scratched one
they would have to scratch the other.

Now that the election is over we
hope that the people will turn their
attention towards developing their
mines, and preparing for the boom,
for it is predicted that there Will be
more people here tbs summer than
ever before. From what we can
learn from the outside, Ashcroft and
Ruby have got the bulge this summer,
and everybody is coming to either
one place or the ether. The recent
developments in tl1is camp have open
ed the eyes OF some Of the hitherto
sore heads, and these who have been
impatiently waiting for favorable de-
yelopments have come to the conclu-
sion, that the Ruby Mining District
is all right, ard that time alone makesh
all things right.
The Elk Mountain pilot., 1882-04-06

Twelve car loads OF ore. Well, that
is not much, but still, considering the
high grade, and that only two mines
have made any shipments this winter,
it amounts to considerable. Our
freighter, Mr.. Bryan, informed us
that was the amount of ore shipped
from this camp this winter. Ofcourse
there are mines in the great carbonate
camp that will produce that much in
one week, but then we must remember
that it is low grade and that our
ore is worth probably ten times as
much. We do not know true fssure
camp in the state that is as Young as
ours that has that good showing, and
then again this is in the winter when
there is very little work done. The
first mine was located here in Tune
>
1879, and any one who is acquainted
with this country knows that we have
long winters commencing early in the
fall and lasting late in the spring,
therefore In the winter Of '7o and so
there was very little work done, and
1t was even thought at that time that
the weather never would permit OF
much work being done in the winter
season. While the camp has really
been discovered nearly three years
there has only been one third of the
time or about one year that work has
been vigorously pushed, and taking
all things into consideration we think
twelve car loads, or about 100 tons
OF high grade ore. for this winter:
shipment, to say nothing about the
amount that is held by the mines a,
/ -
present, very very good showing
While two winters ago 1t was though
to be very difficult to work here in the
winter, it has been fully demonstrated
this winter that mine work can b.
carried on to better advantage in
the winter. where preparations are
made, and that with very little trouble
roads can be kept open to the differ
ent mines SO that hauling can be car
ried on. Two winters ago it wa.
considered a difficult feat to come If
or out of the camp, while this winter
we have had daily communication b,
mail and travel has been daily Will
almost unbroken interruption.

Early in the spring of 1880, there
was a,grea. rush to Ruby camp, among
the number WAS our fellow townsman
4. H. Pell, Esq. Work was plenty
and wages good and Mr.. pcli soon
mad quite number of workmen en-
ployed on the numerous contracts
taken by him. He was quite successful
IN his contracting, but. he, like a
great many others, was not content
with making money at contracting.
rs soon as the snow had disappeared
he begun prospecting, and was as sue
cesstul in this, as he had been in con-
tracing. He was among the first to
prospect near the head of 0, Be Joy
iul guich. He located the Iron Mon
arch lode, an extension of the Yankee
Blade. The latter is owned by a
company and is valuable property,
but, no doubt, the Iron Monarch is
equally as good and only needs the
necessary amount Of development to
show it to be such. The lead can be
traced for the distance of mile by
the Groupings, the ore is arSentlter-
Gus galena and brittle silver. 1t is de-
veloped by a tunnel. Assays from
this lode 60 from IS to rs ounces in
silver.
The Little stel is an adjoining
claim, which is valuable and is owned
by Mr.. Pell. Both walls of this lode
are we'll defined and the lead is about
six feet in width. The character of
the ore is argentiierous galena and
sulphuretes, and assays from Il to 100
ounces in silver. This ere is of a
character that will smelt readily. Tim
Der is accessible and abundant. A
fine spring Of water is near the place
that the developing work has i,ecn
done. This lode is developed by a
tunnel, and can be advaDtageouslv
worked by tunnel. II the same
vicinity is tie Wide Awake, also
owned BY Mir. Pell, and adjoins the
Iron Monarch. The character Of
this ore is similar to the Iron Mon
arch and Little Ste!, and assays from
20 to 90 ounces in silver. This lode
can be traced the full length Of the
claim by the outcroppings the width
OF the lead is from to 10 feet at the
surface. 1t is developed by g shaft.
The shaft IS sunk in the vein matter
neither wall having been found. Mr.
Pell is certainly fortunate is being the
possessor Of three such promising
lodes. He has shown himself to be
an energetic shrewd prospcctor as
well as a good business man. No
doubt more will be heard Of t..is prop
erty IT the near future, as that part Of
our district is rapidly coming 10 the
front.

To give an idea how much snow
there is here now to those who are
acquainted, we are able to state
that the corral posts at the entrance to
town, which have usually been a
criterion by which we can see how
much snow there is, are at least two
feet above the top Of the snow. Two
years ago at the fifteenth of May they
were just visible, now fve weeks before
that period. There is from two to
three feet less SO that it is reasonable
to suppose that the snow will all be
gone SIX weeks before it was last wear
or the year before. Our streets are
nearly bear and the water is cours,ne
down the streams IN perfect torrents.

Our election on last Tuesday ~

Our election on last Tuesday pass
ed off quietly, in fact too quiet, as
there was no opposition ticker IN the
field to make any excitement. The
only opponent in the field against the
regularly nominated ticket was S. P
Spencer against L. G. Crow for clerk
and recorder. Therefore, in conse-
auence OF there being no opposition
ticket, very little interest was felt in
the matter, SO much so that grea,
many citizens did not take the trouble
to so and vote. Of course both Crow
aud Spencer's friends worked hard
but al good naturedly and more for
spost than anything else.

beer indulging in most disgraceful
scene, that is Of allowing two men to
be taken from the Jail and hung by

worse crimes than stock stealing for
which these men were accused, but
then in a civilized community like

THE ELECTION! !!

Last Tuesday oar city election pass

posisionsticket in the field and only
one man on athe ticket who had an
opponent, consequently there was no
excitement to speak of, very little
tamrocS floating around, and only
one paryllzatlon up to the closing Of
the polls. Being only one ticket in
the field it was impossible to get at
the voting strength Of the town, as
there we're great many who did not
feel enough interest in the matter to
vote, while there were a great many
men working in the mines, who did
not come down at all, as they would

each position, except clerk and re-
corder, what is the use to vote" We
met one group Of five good voters in
one store who did not vote and also

there were only 1913 votes cast, and

The Hawkinsville Dispatch is a strong
friend of Hon. A. o. Bacon, of Macon,
as the Gubernatorial candidate Of the
Democracy for Governor. In its last
issue it has this to say on the subject:
1--WE are gratiied to see throughout
the State many expressions Of public
sentiment in favor of Hon. A. o. Bacon
for Governor. His ability, his integrity,
and his experience render him an &C
ceptable man for the place. There is
not in the State man better qualified for
tie position, and there is no one who
would show greater appreciation OF
the honor, or take greater pride in dis
charging the duties of the Office. For
eight or ten years past the Speaker OF
the House of Representatives, he has
won the esteem and admiration of hun
dreds of public men, and those who
know him best commend HIM most
highly. There is not, in our opinion.
before the people of Georgia any better
man whose name has been mentioned in
connection with the G0vernorship.
Should Dir. Bacon secure the Demo.
cratic nomination he would be heartily
supported by the Democratic press and
people of Georgia, and would, we doubt
not, give the State satisfactory admin
istratiOn.

The Senate bill for the restoration of

army which he held at the time of his
dismissal is regarded as a measure of
simple justice to that officer, who has
evidently been prosecuted only to
crafty the malevolence of military and
political enemies. 1t does not go far
enough, however. The bill is virtual
recognition of the injustice done to
Porter, and if be was improperly dis
missed from the service, he is clearly en-
titled to the amount Of pay which has
