WILLOW CREEK, OCT. 81, '84.
Ed. SENTINEL: Fifty-two miles north Of
Winnemucca, on the stage road to Silver
City, l. IT,, lies Willow Greek. Leaving
Winnemucca at 2 O'Clock P. M. you reach
Willow Greek Station at midnight. A
good station it is; nice, clean beds, q
bounteous table, hospitable people and a
bar supplied with the usual kind OF
whisky and cigars that leave the cellars of
San Francisco. A fine stream Of water
comes from the mountains Just In front
OF the house and is lost in the d~esolate
plain which stretches away for miles be-
hind it. It's clear, limpid waters are used
for purposes OF ablution and irrigation
only. The natives, being Democrats, drink
whisky. 1t is easier to get and saves
frewood, which is very expensive.
Willow Greek Canyon, wherein the
mines are situated, cuts into the hills
directly in front Of the house. The forma-
ton is principally slate. For five miles
up the canyon you pass claim after claim,
most of which have been merely scratched,
the enterprising proprietors finding too
great an attraction at the station to devote
much time to the development of their
claims. l never saw a camp about which
30 much has been said and where 80 little
has been done. The ore ia quartz, carry
ing more gold than silver. The veins are
not clearly defined, as they mostly run
parallel with the country rock and are
badly broken and mixed up with the slate
lodges. Every claim can show pieces of
quartz rich in free gold, but the average
of the veins is not high. There are some
claims in the district which bid fair to be-
come good mines. One in particular, the
Ohio, which has just been sold to q Salt
Lake company, has been worked for sew
ersl years with great profit to its
ners Carload lots : Of this ore
shipped to Salt Lake City returned $500
q ton net. One or two other claims upon
which considerable work has been done,
are all looking finely, and as depth is
attained silver predominates. 1t is very
hard as yet, to judge the merits of the
camp, as nothing more than assessment
work has been dore upon most Of the
claims. Less whisky and more rustic is
what is needed.
In the canyon is a fxe stamp mill owned
by the most enterprising men Of the place,
McColley and McLarsn, but they find it
difficult to get ore enough to keep it run
ming. The mill has a complete outfit. with
room for ten more stamps, a fine assay
office, boarding house. and blacksmith
shop. We have plenty of water and good
society in the canyon. Two families Guilt
vate small ranches and make a good living
by supplying the miners with garden stuff
aud dairy produce. Three young ladies,
slender, willowy, unsophisticated creatures
lend their gentle charm to the scenery
while fresh trout and buttermilk are
among the delicacies of the table. The
trout are are almost as shy as the girls,
however. and as q rule we have to ring the
changes on bacon and beans. Beans and
bacon twnety-one times a week. 81"

Failure of a Little Scheme to Pull
AN Irishman Down.


BUFFALO, Oct. 20.-Something of o stir
was made in political circles to-day by the
exposure of an alleged attempt to bride an
Irish Democratic orator to come out for
Blaine. The Courier this morning gave
editorial prominence to a statement Of the
case. 1t says about s O'Clock Sunday
morning John H. Colgan, OF Dunkirk,
who had made q speech for Cleveland at
ward meeting on Saturday night, was
called from his bed by three Republi-
can politicians. These were Ammi Gut
ter, Treasurer. and Henry B. Green, Vice
President Of the Central Blaine Club,
and Messrs. Jules O'Brien, An ex-member
of Assembly. These persons ordered wine
and began to talk politics, n to argue
with Oolgan that Irishmen ought to sup
port Blaine. Finally the spokesman OF the
party said that he was authorized to offer
Mr.. Colgan $50 a night and a position in
the Interior or the Treasury Department,
with at least 81, 500 a year, in the event of
Republican success, il Colgan would
abandon the cause of Cleveland and
advocate the election of Blaine. As
an alternative, an offer was made Of
$3.50 for a single speech repudiating
Cleveland, to be delivered on the
same platform with the Hon. Richard
Crowley. at a meeting 10 be held in the
First Ward next Thursday night. Colgan
declined the offer and the party withdrew.
After the exposure of their attempted
bribery this morning Cutter and O'Brien
were interviewed. They did not deny the
visit or negotiation. but said the whole
matter 10 not universally accepted

Empire, what can be expected from
a haphazard selection in China? IN
dia in the south, as Mr.. Bronl hurst
has pointed out, possesses illimitable
sources of supply for the labour NAV
ket and moreover the employment
of Madras coolies would give the colo

our own subjects. This is worthy Of
consideration. AS an examplro # what
course is.pursued by those who under

point out that when the British North
Borneo Company was f Imtd, one of
the first acts Of the Directors was to
send Sir Waller MedhurSt to China to
select Chinese families to settle IN the
new territory, land being given them
under certain conditions of work. This
plan has been most successful, but,
ever there, a los stringent supervi-
sion is kept over the tide Of lmmigra-
ton and strict laws are enforced
against the incoming Of The riff. of

might do. With rc2ard to the Por-
tuguese, they have been a success, and

The Oriental Bank.
From the SPECTATOR

There is nothing m, s~tcriouS about the
fall of the Oriental Bank, though it may
prove a more important event than is
generally supposed. TO begin with, the
misery spread by the disaster viii in some
circles be very wide. In spite of the
warnings given 10y the Press, which for
two or three years past have been unusual
ly OutSIckcu, and Of the steady fall III
the Banks shares, the Anglo Indians, the
Anglo-C eNIOnpSp, and the planters of the
MauritiuS nave been unab c to rid them
selves of a traditional belief in the Bank
which twenty-five years ago occupied
throughout Southern Asia a position akin
to that of the Bank of England in Europe.
1t was the Bank, its support made the ere
dit of the greatest firms, and its hostility
was a danger even to those great native
houses whose resources are so much more
sold than those of the European traders.
In India its promises were as good as
those of the State, and in YCeylon better.
Even nOw, when the Bank has fallen, the
Government Of The Island, to avoid wide
spread ruin among their Subjects, hes been
compelled to guarantee its notes. When
evil days came, therefore. its shareholders
hoped against hope that new capital, or
restricted business, or a turn in the mar
ketS, would revive the Bank, and chung to
their shares with a t~pnacity for which
they will now be compelled to pay a heavy
price. Few, perhaps, will be totally ruin.
ed, tor the Bank was not unlimited, and
the shares were not held in great blocks;
but still, osmall investors the loss Of, say,
G35 per share in property and G25 per
share in call to pay creditors, means the
difference between Ives that are comtor-
table AMI lives that are pinched. The
ultimate result depends, OF course, upon
the sale Of properties in Cel Ion and the
Mauritius, in which two millions Atcrlin@
have been invested; but those who know
most of the prospects OF coffee, cinch0na,
and sugar, will have the least hope that
the Ecall' Will be less than The legal liabl-
lity, now EOS. Hundreds, too, who were
afraid Of bank shares, considered a deposit
with the Oriental Bank the least trouble
some and most profitable form of invest
ment they could find. Tupy relied on the
sh areholders, ifn0tthe Bank, to keep them
safe in the long run and TO draw . per
cent. for your money without the trouble
even of asking for it, in regular half
yearly payments, WAS to men like the
Anglo-Indian~, who are never rich, ana
who fret under the low English rates OF
interest, an irresistible temptation. The
Bank had SWarmS OF such utpoSltorS, ana
though they may all get their money III
the end, they will have months of anxiety
to endure; and may, should the proper
ties not sell well, find that ConSolS would
have paid them Il much larger return.
For, as we have said, the cause of the
failure of the Bank is not a mystery.
Times speaks of an unsuccessful
speculation in CHILEAN Bonds, and of
another in silver, based upon the idea that
bi.metaiism would ultimately prevail; but
fhounh wa NAY wonder at t. transactions so
