All the machinery for this mill was
built by Fraser & Chalmers, Of Chicago,
and is absolutely perfect. Everything
ordered of them by the Collar Co. wa
to be first-class, and from the evidence
here shown the conclusion is reached
that they filed the bill. The Collar
mill will remain a standing advertise
ment for this firm.
Mr.. Angus Mackay, of Denver, Col
Orado, Fraser & Chalmers constructing
engineer, had immediate charge Of the
work, and the Collar mill is another
proof of the truthfulness of his repu-
tation as one of the best and most sue
cessful mechanical engineers in the

ions in the Mine.

In February, 1883, the present Col
lar Company began shipping machinery
for the prospective 2o-stamp mill, to
be erected in Ford's gulch, at the foot
of Crystal mountain, and ever since
mechanics have been busily employed
erecting buildings and building stone
foundations for the ponderous rock
crushing machinery that is now reduc-
ing the ore wrested from the heart of
Crystal mountain, and now famous
throughout the country as the "Collar
Mine"
This mine was discovered in in Au-
gust, 1880, and located in September
of the same year, by c. c. Snow,
+. A. Erwin, Chas. Bessey, c. Young,
]. r. Kemper and F. +. McPartlin.
These parties, all old miners, and the
first prospectors in this district, devel-
oped this property, exposing a good
body Of paying ore, and in July, 'S2,
{. {. Snow, representing the then
owners, went east to secure the assist
ance of capitalists SO as to continue
development and procure the neces-
sary machinery for reducing the ore.
Through his solicitation, General
Meade, Of Omaha, largely interested
in the smelling works of that city, and
S. S. Eaton, of St. Paul, invested in the
enterprise, and from that moment in
terest in the Collar Mine, and the
Warm Springs Mining District, was
general, and confidence in the richness
and future of the district was freely
expressed by those who had seen the
country and studied its geological for
nation.
Monday, November 10th, after nine
months of continuous labor, employ
ing constantly nearly 100 men, the
mill, having reached that stage of com
pletion that would warrant, was set in
motion, in the presence Of most of the
officers of the company and construct
ing engineer Mackay, as well as the
patentee of the adopted process, Mr..
! n. P. Boss, and low grade ore run to
Ihll seams in machinery Every part OF
the vast machinery worked to perfec-
tion, showing the care and skill that
had been taken in its construction.
The total cost of the mill, including
buildings and machinery is, as near as
can be estimated at present, $4,000

LET HIM SPEAK FOR HIMsELF.-ln view
OF the fact that Mr.. HENKEL is the regular
Democratic nominee for the State Senate in
his district, is sound Democrat, and was
acting in concert with w. w. HENRY, ESQ.,,
and other leading Funders when his bill
for protecting the public schools was
framed, discussed, and passed. it does
seem preposterous for the Mahoneites to
try to claim the credit of that bill. In
Woodstock, the other day, says the Shenan-
dodh Valley, Mr.. HENKEL made a fine
speech, in the course OF which "he
showed most satisfactorily that the Hen
KEEL school bill was not, as claimed by
some, a Readiuster measure, and that it i:
through that bill that the public schools
are supported, and not 10y any special mea
sure inaugurated by the R,adiusters."
Shall not Mr.. HENKEL be permitted t
decide whether he is Democrat or not
Has he not a distinct recollection as 10 tn

the Legislature who were active in pro
noting his scheme, as contradistinguishet

moment and voted for his bill only becaus

medical College Of Virginia.


Before the close Of this month the young
men who propose beginning the study OF
medicine will have determined to which OF
the MANY schools outside Of the State they
will 20. or that they viii listen TO the nat
ural promptings Of their hearts and turn to
their own home and State institution.
where for forty-fve years the most eminent
and successful practitioners In Virginia
have received that education which led
them to fortune aud fame.
We would ask them TO calmly weigh In
the scales OF patriotism and self-interest
the claims Of the Medical College
OF Virginia TO their support, and
II II falls short in any Cd the requirements
of a sound foundation for the making OF
thorough physician we would advise them
to 90 elsewhere TO find what Is lacking
here. We do not urge narrow and sec
tional argument for the support Of anv in
stitution of learning, or OF any business or
trade, for we believe only in the criterion
OF merit; but, other things being equal,
we think we can with perfect propriety
advance home institution TO the forefront
for patronage and announcement.
The Medical College OF Virginia can,
like the Roman matron when asked Tor her
Jewels, point to her children, who, in every
part Of our State and country, in civil and
military life. on land and on sea, have
been, and are, among the most eminent
practitioners Of medicine; and she con-
tinues to offer to the rising generation OF
medical students the same. and even better,
means Of learning and instruction than
those that were the stepping-stoncs to their
success
The faculty is composed of practical
workers in the different branches they in
struct i'm, and are not mere "knigilts
faineant," or perfunctory professors, who
lecture from the books and have no eX-
perience. The school is completely equip
ped with all OF the apparatus and accesso-
ries for instruction, and has the entire
command of all the clinical material OF the
city.
In addition to the regular faculty. we see
that there is corps Of able young men
who are adjuncts, and supplement the in
struction OF the other professors by thor
ough examinations and rcctatons, keep
ing the student all the time up to his work,
and, as the teamsters say, "pressing on
his collar
The present outlook is the brightest
that has fallen upon the co)lege-path since
its foundation. The next class will be
much larger than the one of last year,
which, despite all attacks upon the college,
was quadruple that of the one two years
before. Let Virginia's youths rally around
Virginia's Medical College.

done to the rest OF the building. The
front wall may be repaired at reasonable
cost. The injury to the building by the

Furnishing Audiences.

The PHSylUonid Tribune has the follow
ing;
: "On the day OF the Convention Colonel
Sims, chairman of the Coalition party,
made proposition TO Mr.. j. X. Whitehead,
chairman Of the Democratic party, TO hold
Joint discussions through the county; all
of which propositions MIR. Whitehead very
properly declined. The reasons for de-
Ginning are: First, the Democrats did not
feel inclined 70 furnish audiences TO be
harassed by the Coaitionists, when it was
known that il the latter made separate APP
pointments the people would not 20 to
| hear them, and it would not have been
| treating the people right TO force them to
listen to speeches which they did not want
to hear. And another reason. while we
know il joint discussions were held in the
day the CoalitionistS would also hold their
negro meetings at night, as they did in the
Munford. Davis, and Oliver campaign.
"Tbe CoaIihonists cannot rally more
than hundred white voters in the county.
They depend almost entirely or the negro
votes. and the chairman OF the Democratic
party, had he accepted any such PROPOSE
ton from the other party, would have only
| furnished them with a white audience,
which they otherwise cannot get. The
colored allies will have to come to the
rescue"
Mr.. WHITEHEAD's example ought to be
followed whenever the ColSlitionsts re-
fuse to agree to fair terms. Divide the
crowd. Let the Coalitionists "ilock by
Themselves" as DUNDREARY would say,
and expose the relative strength of their
white and their black forces. The Demo-
Gratis know that their crowds will be OF
the right complexion in more senses than
| one.
