The Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria
evidently appreciates the value of good
example. When the Postal Savings
Bank system went into force in that
country, on January12, he had the first
account book issued to himself, and de-
posted a sum. of mo ney, in the P. O.
Bank, thus emphatic cally setting the seal
of his approval upon the system and
inviting his people to the habits of thrift
Philadelphia Record.
But then he is mere brutal despot,
you know, and his subjects are not free
and enlightened" as we are. The people
are not "sovereigns" in Austria; they
don't choose their own rulers, and make
their own laws; they have not the ines
Unable blessing of government of the
people, by the people and for the peo-
pie" Not much. They have not the
happiness Of placing the vilest of the
community in Office, and then grumbling
because they sell out to the corporations
and squander the public money. They
have no representatives and senators in
congress to guard the interests of the
humblest citizen, and to see to it that
not even the railroad king, nor the great
capitalist, nor the land-grabbor, nor the
monopolist nor any other despised and
prosecuted individual, is trodden under
foot merely because he is rich and has
neither friends nor political influence

just at present, as we will of course fur
nish the paper to all those from whom
he collected; but we hope none will be
foolish enough to visit his sins upon us
and lose respect and confidence in the
paper. Those holding receipts will
please bring or send in their addresses,

A Wonderful Strike on Wood River.

Nothing in the way of vein or de-
posit of high grade ore has ever been
found which in size approaches the Gen
eral Custer mine, located ninety miles
north of HALEY, Idaho 1t is the liter
ally mountain of quartz. 1t is the
only instance ON record where ledge
so immense in wealth and size was al
ready opened and developed when the
eyes Of the prospector first looked upon
it. Ore bodies are usually found beneath
the surface, and miners consider them
selves very fortunate if, after long search
ing by shafts and tunnels, they strike a
vein that insures them reasonable divi-
dends over and above the cost of devel-
opment. The Custer required no outlay
of money to make it paying mine. Its
face was good for millions. Nature, in
one-0f her philanthropic moods, did the
prospecting and development. The outer
wall of this great treasure-vault, through
the wear and tear of ages, crumbled and
slipped from the ore body for distance
of several hundred feet, leaving many
thousands of tons Of the very choicest
rock lying against the mountain side to
be broken down at little expense. Not
a dollar of it's total yield of $2,500,000 has
been taken from it's immense reserve be-
meath the surface.
The Custer, where it shows above
ground, is 60 to 100 feet or more in width
and is known to be all of 900 feet in
length. The discoverers, in two seasons
shipped $4,000 worth Of ore from an
open cut of 3Ox4O feet, and then sold out
for $16O,O00. The best of the ore mills
from 500 to $1,000 per ton Although
recognized as silver mine, the Custer
bullion contains Is to 20 PEI cent gold.
The mining engineers who came to ex-
anime the property soon after it's dis
covery reported $2,5OO,O0O to $3,OOO,oOO
in sight, In January, 1881, 2O-stamp
mill was completed and ready to COM
mence the manufacture of bullion. It
cost $l30, 100, and paid for itself in about
four weeks. 1t is claimed by professional
mill men and miners that the Custer
company's mill has produced more bull
lion for the time it has been in operation
than any one of similar capacity within
the history of modern mining, except
the Elmore mill of Silver CITY, Idaho
1t has ground out some $2,OOO,OOO in two
years. Four men extracted over 81 ,OOo,-
600 worth of ore from the Custer mine
in 1881. A single blast has blown down
$4,000 worth. Ten additional stamps
are being put into the Custer mill, and
will largely increase the product.

As the time for the conventions and

As the time for the conventions and
primaries draws near there is consider
able bustling among the professional
politicians and chronic ofice-holders
of the city. The initiated are having
their coat buttons sewed on with double
twisted waxed end, and candidatorial
whisky has begun to flow profusely.
The people are beginning to think, and
we feel justified in saying that there is
strong hopes of an organized opposition
to the sharks in April.
The Labor enquirer., 1883-02-24

WELL, what are you going to do about
the April election? The hour is drawing
nigh, and you have little time left in
which to make up your mind. The
enemy are beginning to lay their plans
to give you "a little of the same" you
have had in the past. Get to work,
marshal your hosts and rout the thieves
and thugs. Or will you lag along, half
asleep, until the polls are closed and
set up your biennial wall of corruption"
and "oppression?"

: He SIoped.

About two weeks ago, a poor, hungry
chap came into the office and asked for
to do. Upon inquiring we
learned that he had had some experience
in the newspaper business and as we
were wanting another subscri ption So
Iicitor, upon the production of letter of
recommendation to a we'll known Jour
nalist in this city, we put him to work.
He exceeded our greatest anticipations
in his first days canvass, bringing in a
good list of names and some money.
Although we never have a great deal of
the latter, we told our man to keep what
he had and get himself in good shape,
which we are now fully satisfied he did
all but the good shape. For several
days our pickup" did noble work and
we began to think we had at last secured
Mascot, but now our bright dream has
vanished. For over a week our jewel,
our treasure has been absent from the
evening circle around the imposing stone.
He has flown; gone where his hunger
and need will be beyond our benevolent
care, and from those who have called
with the query, "Why don't l get my
paper?n we have estimated that quite a
neat little sum of our m much-needed lucre

on behalf of the toiling people. The
times have been rather dull for the past
three months and business will not pick
up to any great extent for months or
six weeks and consequently we have had
a pretty hard row to hoe in keeping QUE
paper up to the standard, and Mr..
Laverty came to the conclusion thai
there was not at present a good living
for two men in the enterprise. For this
reason he withdrew from the partner.
ship, returning to the case. In another
column he says word to the public, to
which our friends are respectfully re-
ferred for his feelings toward US and the
paper he has so ably assisted in building
up amongst you. We shall continue the
paper in the course it has so far pursued,
endeavoring at all times to make it
worthy the support of the worklngmen
of Colorado No one need have the
slightest uneasiness concerning the ex-
lstence of THE ENQUIRER, for while we
might be forced through a temporary
shortage of funds, to reduce the size
until the spring advertising helps to fill
up the paper and our pocket book, there
is not the ghost of a suspicion warranted
that it will cease to appear every Satur
day, as long as we are spared life and
reasonable health 1t is to be hoped
that we will not even have to reduce the
size, and we don't really think we shall,
but mention that as the only change
possible on account of loosing our former
worthy colleague. 1t is needless to tell
the worklngmen that with them alone
rests the opportunity of making The
ENQUIRER one of the most successful
journals in this section of the country.
You all know this as we'll as we do, and
we desire only'to urge you to do your
duty, your whole duty, and nothing but
your duty.

THE Central Pueblo Cronicle is a new
one. 1t is a five column folio and is
neat and newsy, and is outspoken for the
rights of workingmen. The first num-
Der says: "This paper will be independ-
ent in its political views, but will never
be unmindful of the interests of work
ingmen-that class of Gods noblemen
which are a sure foundation for a pros
porous community, and the backbone of
every civilized nation on'the face of the
earth. We stand by the workingmen." !"
We give the Cronicle welcome.

YOUR FRIENDS.

If you are anxious to see this paper a
success-and it is our aim to ma ke it
such-we ask you to pAtronize the men
who advertise in its columns, We do
not say that because a business man
does not advertise with us he is not
worthy of your patronage, but we do
claim that those who use its columns
are such as have your interests at heart,
and who uphold the cause we advocate,
and evidence such feelings by lending a
helping hand to your organ.
The Labor enquirer., 1883-02-24
LAST CALL.

AS is announced in another place we
are going il alone, so to speak, on this
paper now, and, as the withdrawal of
our former partner deprives the institu-
ton of a practical man, to keep The
ENQUIRER up to it's present size we will
be compelled to incur addition al expense
in the way of type setting. To do this
we must have money, and as we desire
to get it only through legitimate chan
nels, we must ask those who have not
paid their subscriptions to do so as soon
as possible You should know by this
time whether the paper is worthy or not
of your support, and whether you care
to help the cause of labor to- the small
extent required of you in this case, 50
let us hear from you substantially. To
keep down expenses, we will be COM
PEELED to cut off those who do not pay
before the issuance of No. 13 Don't be
foolish, but come up like men and pay
for and support the only purely work
ingmen's paper in Colorado.

To the Public.

Finding the support given us not suffi-
cient to pay two practical men, and
having the welfare of the paper at heart,
l have this week disposed of my interest
in The ENQUIRER to Mr.. ]. R. Buchanan.
Knowing he will conduct the paper for
the general good, and in the inteaest of
Denver's wageworkers in particular, l
call upon all laboring men in the city
and state who have the cause Of labor at
heart to extend to Mr.. Buchanan their
utmost support, and that is, not good will
alone, but financial aid. Thanking my
many friends for fayors received in the
past, l ask for a further extension of the
same toward The LABOR ENQUIRER.

MURDER.

The coal mine disaster at Braid
wood, Illinois, was one of the most
horrible ever chronlcled, and will be
indelibly impressed on the memory of
the feeling and sympathizing to the end
of their lives. The accident is but an
other chapter in the unlimited history
of criminal carelessness and inhuman
indifference of the corporations and
monopolies of the world. The whole
world knows that these terrible acci-
dents, resulting in the loss of scores of
lives, would be very rare or never occur
were it not for the cold blooded neglect
or homicidal penuriousness' of owners of
mines The lawmakers are the persons
most to blame for these tragedies, having
the power to prevent them and failing
to exert it. But what do they care for
the coal miners, or any other class who
work for their living? Money controls
them when the question of legislating
for the safety of the lives of the poor
comes before them. A silver dollar has
the power to stop the mouths of the
crying and suffering widows and orphans
of men who have met their death dig
ging for bread IN a pit that might by just
legislation, be made free from danger,
but which, for lack of humanity in the
lords, becomes their graves. Oh, that
the breath OF a just God might carry the
wailings and meanings of those sixty
widows at Braidwood to the ears of every
toiler in this broad land and never cease
to be heard there until they arose and
