handbook salmon can be caught less than nine

tne present laws for few years ought to favor
such an increase of valuable food fishes and

ton Lode, near Galeaa-Details Of Its
Organization and Property-A Smelter
to be erected Next Summer.

The Pocahontas Company has been
incorporated in New York to develop
the we'll known Washington lode,
which is situated five miles north of
Galena, on the mountain that divides
the waters of the Wood and Salmon
Rivers. 1t outcrops the entire length
of the claim, 800 feet.
The capital stock of the company is
100000, divided into 100000
shares, of the par value Of five dollars
each. Fifty thousand shares are in
TIE treasury to be sold for securing a
working capital. John NJ. littell, of
46S Washington street, New York, is
President; Charles II. Moore, NJ. d.,
Of New York city, Secretary; and w.
S. Taft, of Haley, Idaho, Superin-
tendcnt. Mr.. Taft will go to Galena
as soon as the weather permits, and
inaugurate active operations in the
systematic development Of the
property.
The Washington lode was located
September Is, 1880. The outcrop of
the mineral covers the top of the
mountain, extends down each side,
and contains large percentage of
oxidized iron. The vein is being cx-
plored by all adit tunnel from the
north end of the claim, which, at a
distance Of 1000 feet into the noun
tain, will cut the vein at depth OF
GOO feet. At the north end the ledge
is 20 feet wide, and increases to Sc
feet, with three distinct veins Of ore
The tunnel is now in :? feet and a
crosscut to the east wall cuts six feet
OF red and gray carbonate giving sc
ounces in silver per ton. A cross
cut west, which is in 16 feet, cut a
vein nine feet thick, of solid ore of the
same value-SO ounces silver per ton
and from this crosscut 100 tons of
ore extracted is now on the dump
Another vein cropping on the surface
to the west is not yet reached in the
underground workings. Crosscuts
will be run at distances of so feet in
the main tunnel. Another tunnel has
also been started 100 feet deeper, and
the vein can be worked at depth OF
1000 feet below the groupings by
tunnels. a smelter will be built by the
company the coming summer, and the

WHEH the Ohio Republicans met in Con-
vention to nominate a State ticket John
Sherman presided and a resolution was Of
fered indorsing Arthur. Sherman had to
put the resolution and announced its pass
age. But when John Sherman was r. b.
Hayes Secretary of the Treasury and Chester
A. Arthur was the Collector of the Port of
New York, John Sherman reported to Hayes
as follows:
That many persons have been regularly paid on
his (Mr. Arthur's) rolls who rendered little no
service; that the expenses OF his Office have in
creased while collections have been diminishing;
that bribes. gratuities in the nature of bribes.
have been received By his subordinates; that eff
forts to correct these abuses have not met his sup
port and that he not given the duties of his
office the requisite diligence and attention.
After this r. B. Hayes and John Sherman
proceeded to kick Chester A. Arthur ont of
the New York Custom House. "Chet" is
now President, and John Sherman, the man
who wore out fine pair Of brogans in kick
Jag him out of the Custom House because he
give the lie direct to former honest convic-
tIOns." Such is Republicanism. Take the
charges made against Chester A. Arthur by
John Sherman and the charges brought
sgairst S. w. Dorsey, the Star Route thief
and how do the two miscreants compare?
Dorsey has been pronounced mot guilty"
No such verdict has been rendered in favor
OF Chester A. Arthur. 1t looks as though
Dorsey Was ahead.
