Bishop whistaker's Address.


The Pacific Churchman comments upon
the address Of Bishop o. w. Whitaker Of
Nevada before the Bishops Of the Episcopal
Convention at Philadelphia IS follows :
Bishop Whitaker would speak in q minor
strain. His address was afterwards de-
scribed by Bishop Elliott ss giving the key
note OF these meetings . sweet minor chord,
sad, yet comforting, and he proposes me
vada" as the word Of the day. The juris-
diction gives indeed q fourth as much as 1t
receives to the Board; but, as all mining
regions, it is likely always to need aid.
Many places have only his annual visits
for their religious ministration. Faithful
women had gone out from his school who
were the best Of missionaries; n gath
cred a whole neighborhood to q service,
making all the preparations in q days
notice. 1t Was such an overlooking con-
gregation as he had never seen before. In
conclusion the Bishop quoted the incident
at the meeting in England out of which
grew the sending Of the first Christian
Missionary to India since the sixteenth
century. Gary, the missionary, said he
would go Town into the mine, which was
wide and deep as the world, if those at
home would only hold on to the rope" II
will carry on the work." said Bishop
Whitaker, "but don't you let go the rope"

The Salt Lake Tribune discusses the

argues thai 1t should. for Salt Lake City's
sake. be run directly thence instead Of
from the terminus OF the Utah Southern.
Says the Tribune:
The road would supply a market for un-
sOid supplies OF provisions, coal and all
products sold in stores; it would bring

Urn Nevada; it would double the city's
power, wealth and business within three

THE LEADvILLE sMELrERs.
A Sort Of HOgging Business I'm the
Purchase Of Ores.

A Sort Of HOgging Business I'm the
Purchase Of Ores.
The Leadville smelters have issued the
following circular. dated Leadville, Oct.
IL, 1883, which explains itself:
To Mine Owners and Mine Managers:
We, the undersigned, en- yage in the bust
ness of purchasing and smelling ore, hsv-
ing arrived at the conclusion that the
methods Of asssying and settling for ores
heretofore existing are vexatious and often
unjust, have agreed that on all contracts
made after this date the following rules
will be strictly adhered to:
First. Assays shall be made by standard
specification.
Second. Moisture shall be determined
by our assayers, and no splits shall be
recognized.
Third. In silver assays, contents shall
be noted only in full and ono-half ounces,
that is. every fraction under one-half ounce
shall be left off, and every fraction over
one-half ounce shall also be omitted.
Fourth. Gold in ores shall be noted in
pennyweights only, no payments to be
made for less than one-tenth Of an ounce
contents per ton.
Fifth. In lead assays fraction of units
shall not be noted, and 10 payments shall
be made for less thar five per cent con-
tents per ton.
Sixth. The splitting Of assays shall be
discontinued, and settlement made on our
assays If within one ounce of silver, one
one-twentieth ounce Of gold, and one per
cent OF lead Of control assays. If q differ
ence OF more than one ounce of silver, one
twentieth ounce Of gold, or one per cent Of
lead exists, the umpire sample shall be
assayed.
Seventh. No person shall be allowed to
serve as umpire unless in the employ Of
the smelling works subscribed hereto, or in
the employ Of the mines.
Eighth. In case it shall be necessary to
employ an umpire assayer, the m~ine-owner
or manager shall have the privilege OF &C.
lecting an assayer from among the smelter
asssyers. Should the mine-owner or mana
ger prefer to have his ore umpired by .
mine assayer, than the smelter shall have
the privilege Of making the selection.
From the foregoing, it seems to us that
the Leadville smelters are very good to
themselves, but that sellers of ore will
hereafter be allowed little leeway. Un-
der the new arrangement prospectors' must
lose considerable money on every ship
ment OF ore to the furnaces when the value
per ton run into fractions. Sections
seven and eight. practically, allow the pros
pector no check assay against the furnace
assay. and effectually cuts them off from
anything like . fair deal.
