at least the wages of unskilled la
Dor. Wherever a railroad goes it at
once doubles the wages of the poems,
who dig and delve, who plant and
reap and take care of the herds on the
haciendas- great farms of Mexico.
At this very time there are places in
Mexico where the peon only gets
eighteen tJ twenty cents day, the
uniform wages of fifteen years ago.
As soon as railroad approaches up
goes the wages to forty fifty, sixty,
eighty cents a day. At this the
haciendado growls, unless, indeed. he
have enterprise and forethought
enough to see that the new market
will double the value of his crops also.
The haciendados who oppose the
"new-fangled contrivance" the most
bitterly are those who are near enough
to railroad to have to interfere with
the wages of their workmen, but not
quite near enough to have it raise the
price of their corn, wheat and pota-
toes.
Railroads! h-lr' exclaimed one
of these the other day. Talk about
their improving the country They re
a damage! Why, when the railroads
got within twenty miles of me poems
began to sidle off and get work there
for better wages than | was paying
them, and now they expect me to pay
them twice as much us they had be-
fore, and if Irefuse they quit and work
for somebody else. That's what the
railroad does! 1t raises wages-and
they say that benefits the country! 1t
is disastrous! that's what it ISL
There is another element of opposi-
ton to the treaty and the Yankee rail
roads--for these seem to be classified

who are in chronic state of discon-
tent. For these railroads pretty nearly
make future revolutions impossible.
Rebels hereafter will get short shrift.
Through the railroads and telegraphs
the government now can lay its hand
suddenly on Mexico, Formerly some
chief IN the states Of Michoacan or Du-
range could revolt, raise an army and
establish himself as successful chief

hear of it in a week; but now the tele-

March LIST.
Besides the 1900 miners from
Deadwood, 1000 have contracted
fares from Leadville, and it is believ-
ed there will be 100000 people pass
this way to Occur d'Alene.
Lots have raised from $3.50 to SOU
in ten days.
Among the business houses are Ba-
lzer. Brown and Grannis building
100000 hotel. Brick building for
bank, contracted.
On account Of dense growth OF
timber. both standing and down, and
thick under brush, prospecting IS very
difficult.
Snow is ten feet deep, and all a
man can do is to stake claims on snow.
The mineral belt is 50 to 100 miles
long, and forty to fifty miles wide.
Three weeks ago there were hardly
800 men in the diggings. Now there
are over 1000, and the number is re-
inforced every day.
Common labor is worth 80 per day
The miners have not decided upor
cutting down the size of claims. q
communication was received In CAM
purporting to come frop several hun
dred prospectors on the way, ina
threatened to force reduction In TIN
size of placer claims, but those on tn
inside sent back that they proposed
to hold on to the twenty acres unit

article was never known.
Claim jumping is the order OF tn

THE NORTHERN PACIFIC.
Statesman.

A recent New York dispatch says
that the former relations and agree
ments between the Northern Pacific
and the O. r. & n. remain virtually
unchanged; that the n P. will build
from Umatilia on the Columbia river
to Tacoma on Puget Sound, and that
the Gould party is believed to be in
control of the O. r. & n, and that
the intention is to operate it in con-
nection with the Union Pacific, SO as
not to injure the Northern Pacific. 1t
is also said that Gould is trying to
bring about a lease of the Northern
Pacific by the e. p. The n. p. and
the O. r. & n. are two distinct cor
porations, owned and controlled sep
arately, with a traffic agreement which
seems permanent. If, however what
is stated in the dispatch is correct, il
would seem quite among possible
events that the entire Northwes
railroad system may soon pass to th'
management of the Union Pacii
Company. The entire situation is
little mixed yet, and no one can tel
what the coming summer may brin:
forth.

THE MINES.
A plain statement From one "h'
Has Heen There.
I,o;lv Sage Brnsu

Has been There.
Daily Sage Brush
The following letter is copied from
the Pendleton East Oregonian, and is
dated s.Weston, Or, Feb. II, 1854"
In orr mind we are satisfied that the
mines are fraud, and any one going
there with the expectation Of making
fortune will get most beautifully
left:
GAS the Coeur d'Alene mine seem
to be the absorbing topic that is
agitating the whole country, thought
perhaps few words from one who
has been there might prove OF inter-
est and possibly of benefit to intend
ing stampeders. Last August | went
mo into the Occur d'Alene country
thoroughly equipped for prospecting
and for four months | prospected dill
igently throughout that section on
Prichard and Eagle creeks, the most
of their tributaries, and the neigh
boring streams and gulches, and al
though l found some colors, l failed
to procure in single instance what
could be called paying prospect.
Other parties claimed to have got
paying prospects on Prichard and
Eagle creeks, but It is my opinion
with the immense amount OF labor
and expense necessary to develope
those deep claims they will prove any
thing but paying property. The big
nuggets that are exhibited in evidence
of the wealth of these diggings are
Aoated in there from Montana and
other places, and the difference in
color and quality of the specimens
shown will convince any practical
miner.
oThere is not resident Of Eagle
, City to-cay, l venture TO say, VINO MAJ
, any faith in the diggings except loca
ted suckers in the spring. Their on
" expectation of getting even is b.
} sailing and selling their WORTHLESS
claims to the unsuspecting tenderfoo
G and for that purpose they are indus
t triously booming the camp, belnE
ably assisted by the railroad compan
and other interested parties.
sln conclusion will say with a
experience of over twenty years
. mining, and the knowledge | have
. the Occur d'Alene mines, that the

They see all the Shams.

One Of the greatest trials OF news
paper men, says De Witt Talmage, is
that they are compelled to see more
of the shams of the world than those
of any other profession. Through
every newspaper office, day after day,
90 all the weakness OF the world; all
the vanities that want to be pulled;
all the revengcs that want to be reap
cd. all the mistakes that want to be
corrected; all the dull speakers that
want to be thought eloquent; all the
meanness that wants to get It's wares
noticed in the editorial columns free
Gratis: all the men who want to be
set right who never were right; all
the crack Drained philosophers with
stories as long as their hair and as
gloomy as their finger nails, in mourn
ing because bereft of soap; all the
bores who come to talk five minutes
and stay five hours. Through the ed
itorial and reportorial rooms, all the
shams and follies of the world are
seen day after day, and the tempta
ton is to believe in neither God, man
or woman. 1t is no surprise to M
that in this profession there are 'skep
teal men. / wonder that journalist

The Anti Mormon bill which has
lust been introduced into the Senate
contains the leading features of the
old Edmunds law as well as many
new clauses which experience has
shown the early measures lacked.
For instance, provision is made
for obtaining evidence of polyga-
nous marriages more easily than at
present. No woman is allowed to
vote. The corporation of the Nor
mon church is to be placed in the
hands OF fourteen trustees appointed
by the President of the United States
All the existing election laws are alb
olished, and nearly all the duties per-
tanning to registration and the count
ing Of votes are put under the charge
of persons selected by board APP
pointed for that purpose. Ii the
measure as it now stands becomes
law. polygamy will undoubtedly be
gin to grow weak in the knees.

naIeb-NO British Men Killed.

LONDON, March 81.
A dispatch from Gen. Graham saws the
British advanced today to Tamanieb and
burned the village. The Arabs have fled and
the fighting is ended. The British forces
began to advance on Tamanieb at five o'clock
this morning. The firing opened at half past
seven and was brisk upon both sides. The
rebels were in larger numbers than Yesterday
The English cavalry and mounted infantry
led the attack and drove the rebels from the
rocks dispensing them among the hills. No
British casualties are reported. The loss of
the rebels is unknown.
CAINo, March 27
The authorities consider that Osman
Digma's retreat without battle leaves the op-
ening of the Berber route unsettled. 1t is
reported that Osman is now in Memaneh hill
valley, five miles from Tamanieb. He has
several hundred adherents, chiefly Bissha-
areens, from the Berber district. General
Graham after reconnaissance toward
Suikat and Nemaneh will return with the
whole force to Suakim, leaving Captains
Chermiside and Cameron with the friendly
Sheikhs to negotiate terms on which the
tribes will keep Berber road free.
Gen. Stephenson and Sir Evelyn Barring
urge on the home government the necessity
of the early withdrawal of all the English
troops from the Red Sea coast. Admiral
Hewitt proposes that 400 marines be left to
garrison Suakim to be relieved every fort
night. 1t is reported that Gen. Stephenson
is in favor of garrsoning Suakim and Mas
sowah with native Indian troops to be re-
lieved from Bombay monthly.
