The Census.
the Nflr York SIM

From the Nep York Sun:
The Secretary of the Interior asks Congress
to appropriate 500, 900 ''to complete the tenth
census" Congress has been voting money
for that purpose ever since 1879, and yet the
tenth census is not complete. Nobody knows
when it will be complete. Nobody knows
how many dollars will be required to complete
it. Nobody knows what it will be when fin
ished. All that is known with certainty con-
corning this wonderful work is that it has al
ready cost So, 503, 624.61, or about 81, 500, 900
more than the limit fixed by the original act
of March 8, 1879.
In other words, it has cost to count the
people of the United States rather more than
ten cents for every man, woman, and child Of
the fifty millions.
The cause for this outrageous extravaganza
is the departure from the constitutional OBJ
iects of the census. The purpose of an emu
meration every tenth year is to afford basis
for appointment of Representatives and taxes.
That is all. The fancy features of the census
have been tackled on at the instance Of theor
lists with theories to bolster and statisticians
hungry for more figures.
The expenditure for each succeeding census
will grow larger, and the scope of the under
taking more preposterously ambitious, until
public opinion forces back the work within
its proper limits. Like the appropriation for
rivers and harbors, the census appropriation
will always be made as large as the people will
stand. Just as there can be plausible argu-
ment for the improvement of every Mississ-
wiggin Creek in the United States at the ma
tional expense, so can a reason be found for
every new table, diagram, or map which the
ingenuity of the Census Bureau devises.
All statistics are interesting. All statistics
are valuable. 1t would be Interestingly to know
how many platefuls fsoup are eaten annual
ly in the Mississippi Valley. 1t would add to
the sum of human knowledge if the census
should show how many hairs there are on the
heads of the Free Will Baptists of the United
States.

j. NJ. Smith has received by mail some
specimens of the ore from the new
strike at Silver City. 1t is chlorldes
and argentite without any more rcck
about it than necessary to giveit a dirty

that it is rich. A person is not suTpris-
ed after seeing the ore, that the discov
cry was not made before. No man of
the least experience or intelligence
would pick up that rock to throw at a
skunk and its discovery could only he
by the purest luck, as indeed it was. The
ore resembles the blue and brown trap

Work on the Hagan's Peak tunnel is
progressing finely. The tunnel is now
thirty feet under cover with twenty
feet of an open cut. Two shifts are
working this week but next week there
will be three. A two hundred bushel
coal-pit is nearly ready for drawing,
and a cabin is almost completed. Supt.
Briggs will have eight men in all al
work next week. The face of the tun-
mel is in porphyry rock which is thor
oughly impregnated with iron pyrites,
the mineral lying in large chunks and
sheets. 1t looks a little as if this hole
is leading to something, and that this
something is not far distant.
A business change occurred this week
in Chloride, DR.. Driscoll selling his

DR.. Bllnn came here for his wife's
health six months or so ago and al
though Mrs. Blinn has made great i'm.
provement and feels and looks perfect
ly well now, yet the doctor does not
want to take her back to the states I'M
til he is positive that a permanent cure
is effected. He therefore purchased
this business to be doing something.
DR.. BlInn is popular among his nc.
quaintances and we are all glad to see
him settle down here with us, but we
don't like to loose an old settler like
DR.. Driscoll, who although, he has not
determined upon his future action will
probably leave this section before long.

vestment came to the range last Satur-
day and visited The Palomas TO look
at the mines. The professor didn't
like the American Flag because the ore
was galena as he said and he didn't
want galena. He was told it was not
galena and tests said that it contained
1900 ounces of silver. Then he admit
ted that Il a m~estaken, but l dond

mining expert - couldn't tell galena
from sulphuretts. It's probably a good
thing that he did not like the Palomas.
There are enough cattle men and such

A Joke on the Railroad.

1t is not often that a big corporation
like the Southern Pacific railroad proves
incompetent in a contest against a peni-
less, single-handed man, and we record
the following to note the exception:
The Southern Pacific engineer, while
securing the country for water OF the
desert about t%wenty-four miles west of
the Colorado river, saw a few tufts of
grass in a little valley. He put work
men to digging in the ground and de-
veloped about four inches of running
water, furnishing a bountiful supply
for all purposes. AS the work pro-
crossed, they abandoned the spring tenn
poarlly. A prospector came along and
stopped at the spring to drink of the
pure liquid. Perhaps the intensity of his
thirst induced him TO gaze longer into its
epths. Perhaps, in his fevered vision af-
ter a long struggle over dreary noun
tains and dusty deserts, he saw mir
rored in the water a sparkling mine of
silver. At any rate, he tested the sands
that drifted about and got a trace of
silver. This little trace of silver re-
solved into a hundred dollars a ton.
Here. then. was the realization of bis
hopes, and he concluded to rob the big
corporation. He located the spring for
a mill site and the ground as mineral
land-all of which is right and holds in
law. He notified the company to quit
using his water, and they have complied
obediently.-San Bernardino Index.
