The North End.

Drifts are being run north and south
from the bottom Of the Wine recently
sunk to the east Of the ore body on the
$500 level OF the Union Consolidated mine.
The ore holds good in both drifts. As
soon as these drifts have been extended q
sufficient distance they will raise and stope
the ore up to the $500 level. A large
amount OF fine milling ore will be obtained
at that point. The ore now coming to the
surface is being deposited in the orehouse,
ready for shipment. In the drift running
south into Mexican ground, on the 270O
level, the drain is being cleared out and
put in order, and the air pipe is being ex-
tended. They will probably be able to re-
sumo work in a day or two at hat point in
the Mexican where the streaks OF good ore
were recently found. The drift will be
pushed on. and in due time an upraise will
be made at what appears the most promis-
ing point.

borrowing Newspapers.

II has been quite common in many To-
~calities for persons to use newspapers ad-
dressed to subscribers while lying in the
office waiting for the owner to call. This
is to be stopped; so says the P~ostofice
Department.: "Postmasters will not allow
non-subscribers to take from the boxes, nor
will they hand to them newspapers address,
ed to subscribers re-folded and returned to
them into the general delivery, without
verbal or written permit from such sub
scriber. A violation Of this regulation will
be considered as sufficient ground for the
removal Of the offending Postmaster"
This is the late order Of the Postmaster
General. and will put a stop to the prac-
tice Of borrowing from the Postmasters
papers addressed to subscribers. You
must now steal the reading Of FOUR local
paper after 1t has been delivered from the
Postofice to the rightful owner.

THE STOCK MARKET.
How Helpless Shareholders Are
Being Fleeced.

Being F1eeced.
The Comstock stocks continue depressed.
From the northend the news is encourag-
ing for q small boom, but shares remain
inactive. At the southend the situation
appears to grow worse every day. The
water continues to rise and some of the
mines are drawing up their machinery
from the lower levels. Assessments are
exacted, and no one seems to know for
what purpose. Belcher's was due yester-
day, and the stock failed to carry it. The
day previous shares sold for 80 cents, and
yesterday, with so cents assessment ad-
ded, they were literally dealt out at IS.
There is some peculiar management to this
mine. On the LIST Of January it had &c.
600 OF hand, as per official statement. On
the LIST OF this month it claimed an indebt-
edness Of $39, 900 / There were no extra
ordinary expenditures. The mine was

Ia apparently something wrong in the
southend group. and 1t will be interesting
for shareholders to watch the movement
Of the managers during the ensuing
months. One Of two things appears cer-
tain: either the mines will be shut down
or there is a gigantic Job in embryo.

Rights OF N.turaIl.ed Citi.ens.

The debate in the House Of Represents
tives on Saturday, in which Cox and
Robson were the leading figures, was in
some respects an instructive one. The
fact that Mr.. insolvency, q Californian,
and other Irish-Americans are imprisoned
in British jails merely because suspected
Of some political ~offense, and are denied
an opportunity to appear before a Judge
and fury and stand trial, was made the
occasion of some remarks which led to the
discussion of the whole subject OF the
rights of American citizens abroad. There
can be no doubt that our Government
is bound to take o~ognizance OF the
cases of the Irish-born citizens referred
to, and ask either their release or their
speedy trial. 1t would seem, also, that
Cox is right in calling for the abrogation
OF the Bancroft Treaty with Germany, en-
tered into during the Presidency OF Grant,
at q time when Hoar and Robson were in
his Cabinet. By that agreement we dis
eliminated against German born citizens,
conceding the claim Of the German Cow

zen ia Germany for 9 brief lxed period
robbed him OF the protection OF his citi-

Mining.

The Chicago Mining Review says When
the mining industry was in the Hrst flush
Of its bloom, and all was new and fresh.
while public attention was turned with an
eager curiosity to the wonderful promises
Of recent discoveries. newspapers by the
hundred sprang into existence ready to
reap the harvest from the multitudes
pressing into the mineral bearing fields as
toward q new Eldorado. So popular did
mining journalism become that newspa-
pers OF every class. even in the Eastern
cities, added mining departments, edited
by those who never saw q mine, or copied

Journal. Staid old dailies and Anticipated
weeklies made laughable attempts to give

upon mining matters. Like the history of
all other things, q time has come when the
marks OF pretension must be torn off, and
the sincerity Of all must be tested by the
sacrifice that must be made. and the posi-
ton taken,

Recovery of Money Lost I'm Gam
bling.

The Superior Court Of New York has
given an opinion on q novel question aris-
ins under the law. for the recovery OF
money lost in gambling. The Revised
Statutes give the right to sue for such
money. and the Code gives the right Of ar
rest in an action for "ipjury to
property, including the wrongful TAX
ing, detention or conversion OF
personal property" Under these pro-
visions the plaintiff had sued for thirty
odd thousand dollars, lost at faro, and
had obtained an order Of arrest against
tho keeper Of the bank. The Court sets
aside the order. 1t holds that the right of
arrest does not exist unless expressly given
by statute, and that the provision OF the
code cited neither expressly nor impliedly
covers the case OF money lost at play.

Keller. OF Provo. This Keller told how

didn't run-not at all. They only
turned a point which hid them from the
view of their prosecutors, crossed q held

they circled in order to lead the mol of

then goes on to tell what happened to the
men who thus prosecuted the Saints. To
appreciate it all in its f~ullness, it is neces-
sary to understand that all this happened
the day before Keller left Georgia for
home, where he has just arrived. Yet all
this had time to happen, and he to find it
out. A Baptist minister who prosecuted

ter took votes in his church to see who

CHEAP COKE.
A New Railroad Connection which
Will Please the Smelters.


The Denver q New Orleans Railroad.
says the Salt Lake Tribune, o being sx-
tended to Pueblo, where 1t will be CON-
nscted with the Atchison Topeka 4 Santa
Fe. At Trinidad. on the Atchison, To-
peka & Santa Fe, are coke furnaces, where
. very superior article Of coke 10 msnufac.
tured, most Of which Ia sent to Leadvile.
With this new connection, which will be
made in o few months, coke can be laid
down In Salt Lake at q reduction Of at
least % per cent on the present rates. The
Union Pacific Railroad, with q view Of fos-
terine the mining industry Of Utah, have
made arrangements to ship coke over the
road at very low figures, so that the smelt-
ing furnaces will get 1t very much cheaper
than at the present rates. This will ens-
BILE every furnace in the Territory to be
run at a profit, and also enable many
mines to sell low grade ore, where there is
now no demand for it. The railroad, in
adopting q system Of cheap freight for
coke, materially benefits itself, as the in.
crease in the smelling business will bring
heavier freight shipments OF machinery
and other material to Utah. This 10 only
one Of the many things which are shaping
Just at present to make . great city Of Salt
Lake.
