COLONEL MARKHAM At THE MINES.
Calico Solid for the Democratic
Party, from Cleveland and Hem
bricks to Del Vale.

EDITOR HERALD: 1t seems that the
Los Angeles Times, and also the pro-
phetic editor of the San Bernardino
Black Republican Inder, are consider
ably exercised over "Prospectors' re-
ports concerning the political outlook of
this portion Of the county, SO 1 will
give them another dose that will not
serve as an anodyne to quiet their nervous
system, as well as to give the readers
Of the HERALD, the workingmen and
miners of the country some of the
reasons why the miners of Calico and
vicinity will not support Mr.. Markham
for Congress. In the first place large
majority of the miners are staunch and
true Democrats, and are dissatisfied with
the nominations of the party. State, Ma
tional and County, and are not disposed
to be misled by Republican slander or
corruption taffy, nor washed by mo-
nopoly soap. Miners as general thing
act and vote as they think best for the
welfare of the country and themselves.
In the second place they know it to be
an indisputabls fact that the King mine,
under the rule of right minded, but
poor Democrats was paying wages,
whilst opening and developing the said
mine, at the rate of "a. 90 per day. And
they have also not forgotten that when
rich Milwaukee Republican corpora
tion with Colonel H. H. Markham as
the Grand Sachem succeeded TO the con-
troll of the mine, that Markha himself
was the man first to reduce miners
wages. That he wanted 10 reduce them
to $50 per day is fact that can be
proven; but failing in this miserable and
penurious action. When informed by
Mr.. Samuel James, the foreman of the
mine, that no men could be employed at
those rates, Mr.. Markham, acting for his
Company agreed in the liberality of his
love for the laboring man, to give good
miners under ground $3.50 per day, and
that in camp where water costs from
three to five cents per gallon, board IS
per week and wood $40 to Sl2 per cord,
thereby making it hardship upon many
OF the miners who have families to sup
port. And another thing that has not
been forgotten is that when bids were
let for work at Orc Grande on the
mines owned by the same parties, name
ly, Markham l. Co., that white men
offered to take the contracts at the low
est possible living rates, but were under
bid by Cinnamon; and, consequently,
large amount of work was let to the Ce.
lestial beauties. These are few Of the
reasons why the miners will not support
the genial aud affable Republican candi-
date for Congress-.
The Democrats Of Calico have well
organized club of over one hundred
members. aud work in harmony with a
smaller club in Dageett. The Republic
cans have small club in Calico, also in
Daggett, and everything points to
good majority for the grand old party.
We have no Prohibitionists and no But
lerites. The mining outlook was never
better, everything indicating that Calico
has not yet seen its best days.
Twill state in conclusion, for the ben
eft of the Times and the prophet Of the
lnder that this was not written by
letter writer of the HERALD, but by
PRosPEcToR.

colonel Markham and the Miners.

EDITOR HERALD: In your issue of
the 18th you say that rumors reach you
from all sides, "that the Republican
candidate for Congress in the Sixth Dis.
trict has steadily endeavored during his
career, as a mining man, to reduce the
wages of the hard working miners to the
lowest possible pitch, and that upon
the ir resisting the reduction he has dis.
charged Caucasian miners wholesale and
replaced them by Chiuamen." These
are grave allegations, but they are not
true. During the summer of 1881, the
Oro Grande Mining Company lin which
Colonel Markham was stockholder, but
not manager) did during the Colonel's
absence in the East, employ crew of
Cinnamon. A part Of this crew were
discharged within ten days after their
arrival, the balance remained about six
weeks or two months, or until Colonel
Markham returned from the East
when the control of the mines passed
into his hands-when they were dis.
charged. And from that day until be
severed his connection with the mines
there was not Chinaman employed in
any capacity whatever; and, the allega-
tion that he reduced the wages of miners
is not true. When Colonel Markham
took hold Of the King mine at Calico
the mining interest in this now famous
camp was in a languishing condition.
Neighboring camps were paying
$500 per day. The majority
Of mine owners, advocated making
that figure the price for Calico, but the
Colonel said mo; we will call it 50. SO
per day" and that has been the price
ever since. l would say in this connec-
ton for the benefit Of those who do not
know. that was the Superintendent of
the Oro Grande Mining Company from
June lst. 1881, to July 18th, 1884, or
from almost the first inception of the
Company and until after the Colonel
had sold out, and consequently was in
position to know all the facts.

Connected by Rail.

NRw YORK, Sept. l6.--The Mail and
Express says: High among remarkable
enterprises, ancient or modern, must be
ciassed the completion Of the railroad
system from San Francisco to Newport
News. Initiatory Of this system was the
formation Of syndicate in nan Fran

News to Huntington, West Virginia.
Later the Elizabeth, Lexington and Big
Sandy lines opened the way to Lexing-
ton, Ky, BY the Kentucky Central,
Cincinnati was reached. and by building
the Chesapeake and Ohio to point west
of Huntington linked Memphis to New
port News. The next work was to con-
meet Memphis and New Orleans, and the
New O.leans Company was prospected
for, which system is now completed and
embraces line OF 1000 miles 70 the Pa
cific. The syndicate has constructed
and raised funds, and now forms capi-
falization of nearly $500, 900, 600.
