Now, the ,tut a..rHt .fas god steak

Same propHtHHa HIrs uew and are
asked FOR mll.1H aal yr1l The cause
Of this gfc,t increase 20 the local prices
OF fresh meat are f5H For several years
Eastern buyers bought up, eJch spring,
all cattle in thiscouuery fit to drive; for
two or three years 10000 railroad build
ers have been fed with meat raised in
this country, a severe winter or two
caused heavy losses in cattle, and the
immigration has been very large, There
is little or no chance now for drover
to buy several thousand head of cattle in
Eastern Washington and Oregon,
and not much chance of beef being
again as cheap as it was last spring.
The increased facilities for transport
ing perishable food supplies over long
distances has made it possible to ship
dressed beef from Chicago to London
with profit to the shipper and benefit to
the consumer. Durin: the six years
ending with 1882, nearly $lO,000,0OO
worth of fresh beef was exported from
the Atlantic ports of the United States.
The value of live cattle exported during
the same time was about Sj0,0O0,0OO.
This great drain upon tho beef supply
has raised the price all over the country,
stimulated production and made the
raising OF fine cattle a more desirable
enterprise than ever. A very lively com
petition has arisen among the different
breeds Of pure-bred cattle; the
effect OF different feeding stulfs
have been thoroughly canyassed and the
cost OF producing a pound Of beef has
been figured as closely as manufacturers
of various articles compute the actual
cost OF their productions.

Loss OF THE Tacoma. Tho public
has been patiently waiting for the re-
suit Of the official investigation into
the causes producing the loss of this
magnificent steamship. The develop
ments of this investigation, as pub
lished in these columns on Saturday
last, throw no new light upon the sub
ject, except to fasten upon Captain
korts, by his own admission, the
guilt OF gross carelessness to say the
least. Our Port Discovery correspon.
dent recently hit the nail pretty
squarely in discussing this question.
1t was Captain Korts' business to
know about the exact deviation Of the
compass, and. knowing, to see to it
that his vessel was kept far enough
from shore to be safe.

Col. Oakford, who returned from
California by the Elder states that
capitalists at San Francisco are about
to invest considerable money in the
development Of AIaska's latent re-
sources. Takou is the objective point
of their operations; but the fisheries
will not escape their attention, Two
cannories will be established in the
spring at or near Carter Bay. The
interest that has been awaken in the
northern country will induce great
deal of travel and it is thought that
the P. c. S. S. Co, will put the Col
umbia or some other Of their fine
steamships on the route for two or
more excursion trips next summer.
Verify, Alaskan interests apparently
boometh.

Sampiing Mills.

The main business in hand by su. perintendents Yerington and Laws, of the Carson and Colorado, upon their present visit, Is to fix upon the location on their line of two or more sampling mills, where ores can be re ceived, sampled, bought and raid for by ore buyers. Such g ''plant, 1" consisting of q steam engine, rock breaker, small pulp mill, assay office, etc, can be established at cost of S2.500, and it is probable that three will be needed-at Bishop, Big Pine, or Independence, and near the lake. Mir. Wm. B. Miller superinten dent of the Melrose reduction works near Oakland, accompanies the party, and will spend some time in examination of the various districts, mires and character of the ores, in furtherance of the enterprise.
 In this our mine owners and pros pectors, whose properties have drag ged upon their hands as almost worthless, because of the absence of any way ofrealizing upon the ore ex- tracted, will at once begin to see q gleam of daylight. Many old dumps will be cleaned out, realized upon, and new work and actual deep de velopments begun. The railroad managers are wisely determined that the purchasing agents shall satisfy all ore producers that their sampling is perfectly fair, and the prices paid. by whatever works wanting the ores, shall be exactly in accordance with their true value in the metals con taiued. This is accomplished by the seller taking precisely similar sample and sending it here, to San Francisco or where he pleases to acknowledged experts, for assay and comparison of results.
 Now, if we want better times, let those wLo can and who know that they have good ore, get to work and take it out. The cash therefor can be obtained at the most liberal prices consistent with safety to the buyer. These affairs will lead up to the final establishment of some great central reduction works in the valley, ca pablo of handling any kind of our mineral products.-Inyo Independ ent.

many English coal mines, so as to
 avoid danger of gas explosion from powder. flash. It is found that though the lime IS very useful, in many cases 1t will not always meet the requirements of coal working.
 What now seems to be wanted IS a table of comparisons between the compressed lime and gunpowder. so that a miner may know how many ounces of lime are equal in
 power to given quantity of powder. A paper on this subject was read the other day before the Midland Insti tute of Mining Engineers, by Mir. C.. E. Rhodes, who gave the results of some experiments made in the Swal low Wood and Parkgate seams o1 coal at Aldwarke main, with the new ly invented lime cartridges. The ex periments commenced in the Swal low Wood seam. This seam, Mir. Rhodes explained, was of singular ly tough character, and 1t had here tofore been impossible to get 1t other wise than by blasting with gun powder. Record has been kept of every shot, and he was able to state that about 12 tons of coal were brought down for every pound oi powder used. For the lime cartridges AS feet of coal was holed to a deptl of three feet, six inches; eight shot holes were put in five feet apart, and the necessary time was given for the lime to take effect, the sprags were taken out, and the result was that three and one half tons were brought down for the eight shots. Another experiment, with seven holes drilled. brought down eight tons. This showed that in some instances the lime would not take the place of gun powder, which was much to be re gretted, for some less dangerous ex- plosive than gunpowder was much needed. Experiments had also beer tried iD the Parkgate seam, which had in some places a sticky top; there the lime worked better, but stil would not bring down the coal sc we'll as powder.-Mining and Scien- tiic Press.

California Stage Driving.

The skill of the drivers in the
 downward drives is something won
 derful. The roads are a continuous
 succession of the letter $, winding in and out about the heads of gulches
 in many places the turns being SC
 sharp as to let the three teams of
 horses form the three sides of it,
 They are also rough and rutty at this season of the year. and at tine rapid motion the toughest places must be avoided.
 The driver on the high seat with his long whip in hand and one foot on the brake, with the other on the footboard, appears to have as perfect control of the whole turnout as if 1t was pupret. He throws those six horses from one side of the road to the other to straddle rut or avoid a stone, as if they were one anlmal.- Sometimes the hub will scrape the bank on the upper side, and the next instant the wheels will be on the very verge on the down side. When approaching a sharp corner and ones impulse is to slow down, crack will go the whip and We dash around it like gush of wlnd. The reins seem to be nerves, or living tis- sues, conveying the drivers thoughts and their pulses beat aud their hearts throb in uniso n.
 An accident seldom happens with those drivers, for extreme caution, coupled with absolute control of their team and vehicle and perfect knowl edge of the laws of stage motion, governs all their acts. They are compelled to make rapid progress down hill to compensate for the slow CT motion up, and they learn by ex. perience all its safegards, and prac- nee them. One driver will make this drive of 75 miles into the mo4n- tains one day and back again the next, every day of his life, until he knows every turn and rut and stone on the line, and his sinews are as strong as the lash of his whip.
 From the snow and mud of the Upper Slerras to the flowers of the foothills and the ripening grain of the valleys below is only a daylight drive, and we rejoice again in the presence of early summer.-Milwdu- kee Sentinel.

The New Trans Continents
 Roads.

It is reported that the engineering corps of the Atlantic and Pacific rail road, at tn 3 Needles, have received instructions to move their outfits across the Colorado river at once and begin operations on the line, thence through Cajon pass to Colton. It will be borne ln mind that when the Atlantic & Pacific reached the Colo radO rlver short time since, they were met by the Southern Pacific with Q road from their Mohave sta tion, which brought the A & P. to $ halt. If the above rumor proves true 1t means that the A. & P. intends either to go to San Diego and put Il d line of steamers thence to San Francisco, or that they will turn 10 the west, near Holcomb, and reach the Coast range at or near Point Con ception, and thence along the coast 10 San Francisco. This would form an opposition road to the Southern Pacific.
 Again, It is reported that the Den yer aud Rio Grande, which is already at Salt Lake, thereby completely fanking the Union Pacific, have de- termined to continue their line from the southern point of Salt Lake west wardly direct to San Francisco. If both of these projections are carried out we shall soon have three l1nee in. full mpetition for the great and growing business of California, and one of them a double line.-Ex.

 "Ab, when was that ?" was the question of 3 shrewd lawyer, who was the counsel for the prisoner.
 ''Well, as near as 1 can remember. it was about i've years ago, and about 3 o'clock in the morning; none of the bank officials were present at the time."

The County Roads.

The attack ofthc Times upon the road sys-
TEN and the condition of the public roads
of Hartford county is dismal failure. 1t
meets with no responsive echo. No man who
knows anything at all about road.mending or
can remember the condition of our public
roads twenty years ago can truthfully say
that they are not inestimably better than they
were then and altogether in most excellent
condition. They are steadily improving, as
every intelligent person knows and as every
fair minded man will admit.
The condition of the public roads in Ian
caster and Chester counties, Pennsylvania, is
frequently adverted to by agitators who are
constantly seeking n change for their
roads in those counties are better than they
are in Hariord-which many travellers as
sert is not generally the case-it must be
borne in mind that Lancaster and Chester
Hartford. The taxable basis is much greater
and a comparatively small road tax will pro-
vide large sum of money to be expended on
the roads.
1t is extremely doubtful if any system of
road-mending could be introduced that would
give as good results for the same outlay of
money as the method now practiced here
The contract system has been tried in other
places, bu: the results have not been general
ly satisfactory. Men who will not mend
roads properly on n warrant would not mend
them on contract. 1t is true that under the
contract system the work of repairing our
roads might be taken entirely out of the
hands ofour people and committed to stran-
gers, who would have no other int crest in
the roads that to receive the pay for their
contracts.
If the contracts were given to our own
people is it likely they would mend the roads
any better by contract than they do now? No
doubt the road money is in some instances
misapplied, but on the other hand many road
supervisors do more work on the roads than
they are paid for, from desire To improve
the roads near their farms.
The road plank in the Republican platform
is the verest political clap-trap and will de-
ceve no intelligent person into voting the
Republican ticket. That is the whole object
of the false cry about bad roads.
