Richest Mines in the World

The Go1den Era seems to he
terribly thin-skinncd. or as our
friend, "Dick," would say, "Red-
Headed" where anything is said
tending to show up our town and
camp III a favorable light. There
has been scarcely an issue Of that
sheet, for the past six months,
which has not contained refcrenc G
to dull times, or something to indi-
cate that the concern was dispeptic
or the proprietors tired Of things
generally.
Such publications are not calcu
lated t. build up or retain the con
tidencc of people in the camp, or
aid in inducing strangers to come
here and Join us in the develop
ment of our mines.
Recently somebody has remark
ed that "we havcthe richest mines
in the world" and the Era true to
its ruling passion, came down on
that fellow like "thousand of
brick and published the most
elaborate editorial which has APP
peared in its columns since Mr..
Ilelphingstinc retired from its man
agement. The editor doubtless, at
once, soaked his head, for the
effort must have been trying to
his mental powers.
When the ores from our mines
show an average OF more than
double the amount realized from
the best paying gold mines, now
being worked, in the country,
which the facts demonstrate, we
think we are justified in saying
/ that "we have the richest mines
in the world" And it does not
show a desire, en- the part OF news
papers, to promote the interests Of
the people from whom they receive
their support, to 60 cut 6 their
way to attempt toprove the reverse
Of what their managers know Is
truth and not only truth, but fay
orable to the camp and community.
This camp can show the veins OF
gold bearing rock, the rare speci-
mems, and the returns from mill
runs Of ore, to prove beyond any
question to amy fair mind that I'VE
have the richest mines in the
world.

This and That

Mr.. Jno. 4. Walters rushes into

cate himself from some charge

tended to make against him last
week, relative to the dump Of the
Solitaire. The local item referred
to had no reference, whatever, to
Mr.. Walters, nor did the writer OF
it, even think OF the existence OF
such an individual, at the time.
What there was in it which could
be construed into reflection upon
the superintendent " Of the
llomestake, we are yet unable to
discover.
On the editorial page of the same
paper which contains Mr.. Walters
selfyindication appears the follow
ing;
"Thc columns of the Eiu have
always been open to its friends,
when they desired to set them
selves right before the public. We
are Of the opinion, however, that
men often rush into print to 'vindi-
cate themselves, when silence
would have done them more good.
Nindication articles are generally
written in the heat Of passion, and
language used that the writer, in
his calmer moments, regrets. 10
err is human, TO forgive divine. :"
When we put this and that to-
gether, we conclude that the "yin.
dication " is referred to IN the edi
torial, and we entirely agree with
the editor "that men Qtte2, rush IN

LOGAN

a man who has been in public
life as long as has Gen. John a.
Logan, our candidate for Nice-P Pres
ident, and about whom the opposi-
tion could make no unfavorable
criticism, would hardly be worth
the notice of Il National Conven-
ton or worthy the support Of his
party.
There is one charge against the
subject of this article which has
been sounded louder and more
perslstently since the war, and in
which there is less truth than any
other we remember to have heard,
and it is that Logan was rebel or
in sympathy with rebellion in S61,
and that he encouraged and assist
ed his relatives and friends in
Southern Illinois in recruiting for
the rebel army.
Why his enemies should persist
in this charge. in the face of the
plain facts, it is difficult to see.
That they know they are accusing
him falsely, is clear.
The following words uttered by
John A. Logan, then member of
the lower House Of Congress from
Illinois, on the 5th Of February
1861, will illustrate his attitude to-
ward rebellion before the first shot
of the war was fired. In speech
on the Crittcnden compromise, then
before the House, Mr.. Logan said:
81 have always and do yet deny
the right of secession. There is
no warrant fer it in the Constitu-
ton. 1t is wrong, it is unlawful,
unconstitutional, and should be
called by the right name-revolu-
ton No COED, sir, can result
from it, but much mischief may.
1t is no remedy for any grievance.
! | hold that all grievances can be
much easier rcdressod inside the
Union than out Of it, ] have been
taught to believe that the prcserva-
Of this glorious Union, with its
broad flag waving over us as the
shield for our protection on land
and on sea, is paramount to all the
parties and platforms that ever
have existed or ever can exist. |
would to-day, if had the power,
sink my own party and every other
one with all their platforms into
the vortex Of ruin without heaying
a sigh or shedding a tear to save
the Union, or even stop the revo-
luton where it is. -
Disloyalty in a man who could
publicly express such sentiments OF
/ devotion to the Union would be an
Inconsistency, to believe the exls-
tence of which would require the
most convincing proof.
In perfect keeping Of these scnti
ments we find the subsequent ac
tion Of Johu A. Logan. Early IN
/ the conflict, and but a few weeks
after his speech was delivered, liz

a Confederate commander can alsC
testify as to the ability and un
flinching courage with which he
asserted these sentiments on tht
field of battle, where they finally
prevailed and were accepted anC
proclaimed by united Nation.
With such expression of loyslt,

conspicuously to his credit
Gen'l Logan need have no fears a

charges against him.

Indignation is not so general, be
