TAYLOR ITEMS.


The work Of sinking a new shaft on the
June mine was commenced a few day ago.
An agreement has been entered into be-
tween Robert Briggs of this place, and
Mrs. A. @. Cleveland of Spring Valley,
that in the event Gov. Cleveland is elected
President she will send him q 14-pound
turkey, but if he is defeated she is to send
him a crow and he is to eat it.
Col. James Fitton, Of Ward, announces
himself a candidate for County Recorder,
subject to she decision Of the Democratic
County Convention. If nominated and
elected it can be depended upon that

Some of the former residents OF Cherry
Greek, now here, express the opinion that
the burning Of the Star hosting works was
q fortunate rather than an unfortunate
affair for that place. 1t is greatly to be
feared they have jumped at a conclusion,
for it will take many times the amount OF
the insurance to sink a shaft and put up
new works.

The Beef CrOp.

The work of rounding up and branding
is going on all over the country, says the
Enterprise, and the number Of calves are
turning out better than the average. This
ia accounted for by the stockmen on
account of the fine grass all over the coun-
try, which far surpasses anything that has
been in this section since the ''white man
come" During the past two or three
years Eastern cattlemen have appeared as
buyers in Montana, Idaho, Utah, Nevada.

depleted the ranges. The prices have been
forced up to $50 and S35 for 2-year-olds,
and $40 to S45 for 3-year-olds, on the
range, while COWS bring from S25 to $40.
Calves have been very scarce, and few
rsnchers care to sell them. preferring to
raise them for beef; and cattle are quite
scarce even at the prices quoted. But
this will only be for a few years. Almost
every rancher on the slope and Coast has
now gone into the cattle raising business,
and in a few years beef will again be quite
reasonable In price,.

Toe Much study.

Recently sn English higher court had be-
srs h on sppeal q case Of assault by a
teacher on q pupil who had failed to learn
srhip lessons that would have had to be
studied At home. Both courts decided
t,t aboms lessons set by teachers cannot
b enforced" The question has not infre-
cusn.ly come up for discussion in regard
10 our own public schools, and, apart from
,he manifest improperly Of teachers throw
ing any portion Of their work upon parents
and this Is practically the result of homo
study-s more serious objection is the in
crease in the hours Of study thus occa-
stoned. Children, as 9 rule, do all the
work that d good for them In school hours,
and II 10 neither good policy nor wise cul-
iurs TO force them during their hours OF
freedom, which should either be devoted
10 recreation or to proper home duties.
Two weeks ago a young girl living near
Piltsburg, Pa, committed suicide because
Of dependency brought on by overstudy
aud fear Of being behind in her class.
The responsibility Of teachers rests quite
as often iu the necessity for REFRESHING the

it. Certainly, whether a child be an apt

The Jews In Russia.

There can be no question that the Jews
have q hard time OF IL in Russia. The
miserable scenes which have just been en-
acted at Novgorod are only a repetition of
what has repeatedly taken place during the
past two or three years in various parts of
the Cars dominions. The Russian law
itself teaches the people to look with con-
tempt and hostility upon the Jews. Under
that law the avocation open to the Jews are
strongly restricted. He cannot be a law
yer or a doctor, or even a merchant in the
ordinary sense He is 4 forever forbidden to
hope for anything like social rank of politi-
cal preferment. II he would live, he must
stick to usury and the smaller trades. He
stands, moreover, in perpetual peril Of
insult, outrage, and even death. His ap-
peal for justice in the courts and for
protection from the State is often little
needed. The orthodox Russian, however,
seeks aid aud converse OF the Jew, when, as
often happens, he is in need of funds. All
over Eastern and Southern Russia, the jews
have been for many years absorbing the
land and other properties of the small boy
ard and tho agricultural class, foreclosing
mortgages and grasping pledged effects.
The natural issue is the eyer-recurring per-
secution which the Government is not
always prompt TO check.

strike I'm the Stafford.

On his arrival here yesterday, Eugene
N. Robinson received news by telegram
from Hamilton that the development
made in the Stafford mine. one Of the
sweetwater Compsny's properties. in
charge OF Mr.. Robinson, was assuming i'm
p~ortance in the size Of the deposit and the
quality OF the ore. Il. d. Clark, Superin-
tendent OF the Geddes & Bertrand, tells us
that he examined the strike, some weeks
ago, and that il then looked very promis-
ing for something big. He brought over
a number OF specimens which assayed 500
to the ton. The news since then is that
the deposit has widened out into a CON
siderable chamber and that he ore goes
from $3.50 30 $3.50 per ton. The find ID
about $50 feet below the surface on the
eastern part OF the mine. The Stafford is
an old mine which yielded, in times past,
large quantities OF rich ore.

INC DeotOr to Pay, Fails
aud Acquires Extra Eyes.
In front of one OF our principal grocery
stores, about 10 o'clock yesterday morn
ing, a we'll known business man of Eu.
reka confronted a we'll known man OF trade
and demanded the payment of S25 due
and promised to be paid. There was some
psrley, when the creditor, thinking doubt
less that the chances Of collection were
slight, pitched into his debtor, tearing
away some Of his clothes and slapping his
checks. Never was there a more striking
exhibition Of patience under punishment.
When it was over the man OF debt
and humble endurance spoke with spirit
for the first time. Look a here, said he,
''you pay me now for my clothes you nave
destroyed. You do that and I'll pay you
your S25." A smile Of qualification over
spread the creditors face. Good" he
said, what are your duds worth ?" The
answer was: Fifty dollars" That smile
vanished. Bystandersj Judged by the look
which replaced it that 1he creditor didn't
think his debtors suit was worth six bits.
AT any rate, in utter despair now of col
lecting his money, he struck out and built
two large dark-blue eyes on his ~jocular
debtor, who resisted not. The case may
come up before Justice Harmon.

the lamps in the lighthouse in Razza have

OF the best oil lamp. 1t is directly visible
for q distance Of 3lk miles, and by its re.
Election on the sky can be seen for several

that it is u matter OF surprise that 1t has
