Placer Mining.

About two and a half miles above Clifton, up Chase creek, some twenty men, ,ll of them, We believe, Me1icens. are at work with rockers, washing out gold. It is said that together they have taken out over S5OO during the past week. The gold is rather coarse and is being sold for Sl6 and SIT per ounce. Monday parties left town with sluice boxes, with the intention Of sluIclng for gold ID the same neighbOrhood. As the rains now falling give promise of con- tinuing the supply of water in Chase creek, our advice to any and all Idle men at present ID Clifton is-get rocker and go up Chase creek washing for gold. From S2 to g per day can be made on an average, and n eases Clarion.

BIsMAECK's refusal to hold diplomatic intercourse with the American Minister Sargent, at Berlin is to say ihe least n remarkable procedure. We have but little sympathy in that Lasker resolution of Tom Ochiltr-e. 1t was unnecessary. It was uncalled for and 1t was insulting to the great chi uceiinr, not SO much be- cause it was ont ot respect to the de ceased liberal. but because or the lam guage concerning the German govern ment Sargeut's manner was objection able; bu; SD far as Sargent is concerned the trouble dates back many months. Sargent made a report to the govern ment concerning the American hog ID Germany, and the position of that conn try concerning our mighty, much loved porker, which report found its way into the newspapers, published ID a manner as fl coming direct from Sargent for publication. Sargent is plain, blunt man, free fir n courtly ways, and says what he has to say in plain. blunt man ner aud Bismarck took offense at his to hold further diplomatic intercourse with him. The only result O! tais little affair will be to recall Sargent. for his usefulness is gone, and some other man sent there tna- has better knack in try ing his neck tie and perhaps, more polished manner of lowing; a man that can talk much and say little and that can fiatter the hog hater

HE credit of the city does not seem to be Of but little moment to Mayor oahlord and councilman Cronly, We are led to believe by their actions. The credit Of the city by the action of these men has suffered. They say they are !ustihed n pursuing the course they have because the city run out of money and becanse the language of the charter was to the effect that warrants should only be drawn when there was money in the hands of the treasurer. No city on earth ever passed from infancy to man hood, so to put it, witLout borrowing money. There IS no objection in borrow Ing money when there is visible means or paying the same. All business IS largely based upon the credit system, and where one man fails, thousands sue ceed- If a man or city pays their debts thelr credit IS good and money is easily procured. TuesoI, through little spurt ot extravaganza, which, however, is not such grave otfense, by orr Mayor with the consent of hIs council, pledged the city for few thousand dollars There was no money stolen; the only clarge that can be made upon Mir. Strauss Is that he paid high prices for labor and large profits upon purchasable articles, graded our streets to some extent, built culverts, built a city hall, guard room, engine house, purchased hose and hose carts, and furnished the council cham bers with elegant furniture. Everything that was done was done first class and good prices were paid for everything.
 Where money was expended Several hundred dollars) on the Court Plaza. was really thrown away, but had not the mayor been chOked of he would have made that spot very beautiful and done many other things to have beautiied the city. But these improvements were not doubtless justified in the light of the | condition of the finances of the city.
 They were. perhaps, done too early, but we have the improvements and they are good, and only few taxpayers grumble
 Finding ourselves owing Jew thousand dollars, and out Of money, IS it wise, is It right, to purposely sgitate the mat ter to such an alarming extent and make no effort to bridge over? What man in tue city Is wiling to confess that he IS not willing to pay just and hon. est deb;? 1T there Is one invite him to go | tO Halifax. \ statement was made | few days ago in the CITIZEN, spprOximat- ing the financial condition at the end of | thls year, that showed there would be balance in favor of the city, without making changes. The people will be called upon to vote upon a proposition, doubtless, to borrow money with which to pay cash for all claims which may ac- erue against the city during the year, and 60 pay the S900O outstanding in debteiuess, and We think there are very | few in this city who will refuse to vote for the proposition. There is no risk in | 1t. We had better face this little mole hill than let it grow bigger and have 10 tear down mountain. 1t will only be to pay for that We have received and are l receiving a benefit from.

THE city council passed 8 resolution
 last night That all demands or warrants
 drawn on the city treasurer during the
 year 1884 and payable out of the general
 fund shall be received in payment of | taxes, licenses, and fines, etc" Coming
 on the heels of the failure of passing the
 low salary resolution, this resolution has
 suspicious look. There is to be no ef
 fort to secure money to pay the expenses
 of the city goveInment-compelling en-
 ployes and others to take warrants, making such warrants good for taxes
 ualy. Ibis action so depreciates the
 paper that moneyed men will have
 'soft thing" O, it and buy up the war
 rants of policemen at greatly reduced figures. On its face 1t hHs two meanings:
 1st. Revenge upon policemen and the friends of the force who were opposed to reduction of salaries. 2d. Depreciate the value of the warrants SO as to enable mopeveG men to buy the warrants at 20, 30 to 10 per cent. on the dollar Wheth- CT it is so designed or not, 1t wlil SO work. That there IS no way TOT tne clly council to get ont of tms little embir- l rassment is simply acknowledging them | selves incompetent to carry on the affairs of tbe city. The credit of the city has | fearfullv suffered-not because of the little debt that hangs over lt-compara- lively speaking, nothing but by the talk of the city officials of the bankrupt condition of the city insinuations, and tbe constant effort to depreciate the city's paper It is uncalled for, and not only injustice but an injury. What II the city does owe a few thousand dol- lars if matters nothing, fl she continues to meet her obligations, her credit Is not inittred and money can be obtained at once and at A low rate of interest. Men in business borrow money even when they are m debt. and we think none the less of them for it. To virtually repudi- ate the debt of 1883, and force the peo- pIe employed by the city to take war rants in payment of taxes, is outrageous.

A oESTLEMAS, says the Clifton Clsr- ion, who IS reliable. relates a tale m re- gard to the reported capture of Geron- ino and his band which varies in many WAYS from those published in General Crooks organs. He says that Geronimo has not surrendered, nor have any of his warriors. The military authorities of this Territory not being able to kill or capture the chief, have resorted 10 ht- tie ruse. They dispatched twenty friendly Indians to Sonora, in parties of two or three, with instructions to meet at designated point, where Captain Rafferty was to be stationed, and where they were to go through the form of sur rendering. The plan WAS carried out to the letter, and, while Geronimo and hls bucks, who undoubtedly have little Charley McComas with them, are killing people down in Sonora, the pseudo Ge- ronimo is being marched with much pomp and show to the reservation by United States troops, and the telegraph wire is being used to convey to Eastern cities praises of General Crook and his Indian policy,
