has not been resumed, though the
pumps have been kept in operation
when needed.
This strike being a matter of special
concern only to tile Miners Union and

Galena Mines.

From Mr. Andrew Griffin. who is en-
gagged in business at Gaiena, and well
posted on the affairs OF that portion OF
the county, We understand that
| business generally il quiet, but the
mining interests are improving CON
stantly.
A. II. Moore has several mines that are
looking well. Among them the Nellie
Moore is improving as it goes down,
running from eight to twelve inches OF
good ore Griffin Il Moore are interest
ed in the Daisy mine. which is making
a good showing. The Senate is reported
TO be in body Of ore OF high grade,
about fifteen inches in width The SEN
ate Company are also the owners of the
Red Cloud and Chief. Their sn1eIter is
not running at present, but will start up
this fall. They win probably have
iaISe amount OF ore from other mines to
work as well rs their own rock.
Messrs- EasIey & Burns, at Galcna, are
doing well. The Paymaster has two
tunnels, and has struck fine body of
ore
Mr.. Griffin has an abiding faith in
that mining district. All that is needed
is money and enterprise Many of the
residents of Galena are now out in the
mountains prospecting.

Praising the National Clpital.

The capital of the Republic is not I'M
worthy of the great and prosperous coun-
try in which it occupies the first place.
Washington is an absolute creation of the
Federal Congress. Other cities have
grown, but Washington was made. The
site chosen for the seat of government
was we'll adapted for the purpose, though
some of the lower ground is said to be
conducive to malaria. Large ideas per
vaded the founders of the city. They
provided for development commen-
surate with the development of the ma
ton. Hence they placed the public de-
partments so far away from each other
that Washington was happily designated
the City of Magnificent Distances. The
distances are still magnificent; but the
intervening spaces have now almost all
been filled up with handsome residences.
The streets and avenues are all broad,
all planted with trees, and nearly all
asphalted. 1t is said that the average
width is double that of the streets
and avenues of Paris and Berlin.
Pennsylvania avenue seemed to me even
finer than the Champs Elysecs. The
management of the thoroughtares is placed
in the hands of parking commission,
which has done its work 50 well that up
ward of $1,000 trees have been planted
under its direction. Trees of the same
variety are placed in each street or ave
nue., regard being had to the surround
ing conditions. For instance, preference
is given in the lower locations to the
California poplar, which, in its power of
absorbing miasmatic exhalationS, bears a
strong resemblance to the eucalyptus,
which cannot be successfully grown so
far north. The result of the Parking
commissions operations is that 1870 miles
of shaded walks are provided for the
use and enjoyment of the citizens of
Washington. Many Of the public build
ings are splendid specimens of architec-
ture. The capitol, however, overshad-
ows them all. Situated on an elevation
in the center of the city, it commands a
clear and unobstructed view on every
side. Nothing can be finer than the
prospect from the capitol-the city, EN-,
bosomed in trees, lying below; the broad
waters of the Potomac beyond and be-
yond the Potomac again the Heights of
Arlington, where, around the ancestral
home of the late General Lee, IS, 900
Federal and Confederate soldiers lie side
by side in one common graveyard. From
the Potomac, too, the city has charming
appearance, crowned as it is by the dome
of the capitol, which shines in the sun
like globe of polished silver. l have
seen many of the capitols of Europe. !
have seen London, Edinburgh and Dub
lin; l have seen Paris, Berlin and Brus-
sells; | have seen Copenhagen, Christi.
ana, Dresden and the Hague. But |
have seen none that surpasses for effect
the city of Magnificent Distances. -
