To THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES !:
l send you an anecdote concerning the
father of the late Colonel Case. 1t
bears on the Sabbath
The father of the late Colonel Case
of this city, in early days left his home
in Pennsylvania, with his family and
household goods, to seek new fields in
Indiana. A nei ghbor in much the
same circumstances, and about the
same stock, joined him, both taking an
early start Monday morning. AT the
close of a hard weeks Journey, in
which men and horses were tired out,
Mr.. Case on Saturday evening pre-
pared his camp to observe the Chris
tan Sabbath. The next morning,
when the good man had his family
about him in quiet study and worship,
his neighbor stopped at his camp with
every preparation for the journey.
Mr.. Case reminded him that in the
States he was accustomed to keep the
Sabbath, but his neighbor replied that
as he was going to a new country, he
intended to leave the cold supersti.
tion," to him hereafter one day would
be as good as another, and he would
work and work hard in them all until
he should be established in a new and
comfortable home, and with that he
pressed on in his journey. Resting
Sunday, with fresh spirits he rose and
made an early start Monday, and over
took and passed his ne;ghbor Friday
While at rest the Sunday following
the neighbor overlook and passed him
and was again overtaken and passec
on Tuesday. The following Sunda,
night they were csmped again to
gether, and the Monday following Mr.
Case lett his ne'ghbor III the rear, no
to see him again until he was settled
in the broad rolling prairies of In
diana.
Mr.. Case found in doing that whicl
was religious duty was source o
profit. This is the experience of man
kind where the Sabbath is observed
Six days of active business and har'
labor are more profitable for man am
beast than seven days of tell withou
rest. This is as true in new countrie
as in old. One day of rest in the wee
is profitable everywhere. P.

honors. lie had seen much rough
service, having participated in the bat
tie Of Chickamauga and other of the
most noted engagements, and
"marched through Georgia" with Sher-
man, during that chieftain's famous
march to the sea.
He came to Wood River four years
ago, and settled IN Haley. From this
place he would make trips to the hills
during the prospecting season, sup.
porting himself in the winter by doing
odd jobs around town. Although one
of the unlucky and poor, he never
complained, and was always jolly,good
natured, and ever ready to help any
one in need to the extent of his
means. These were very small, how
ever, as poor Sam bunked in the old
log ce-house corner Of Croy and River
streets, to save expense. Proud of his
service in defense of his country, he
always claimed the right to fire off the
salutes on holidays, and in order to be
on hand he made 1t a point to come in
from the hills a day or two in adj
vance.
A few days ago he was missed, and
some one happened to drop in at his
lodgings in the ice-house, where he
was found chilled to the very marrow
He was at once removed to the hospi.

"New Philadelphia Only an Addition.

A business man of ketchum informs
the TINES that the new town which
was last week reported to have been
laid out at the railway terminus, is
merely an addition to ketchum; and
that the natural growth of the town
will extend to that addition in the
course of a year. The streets have
merely been extended from the town

MULDUON AND VICINITY.

MineS-A Few Of the Prominent
Claims that will be Heard Of Sooa-
Excellent Opportunities for Investors
Etc.
Simon Healey, an experienced miner
and prospector we'll known in all the
Wood River towns, came in from
Muldoon yesterday. He reports things
quiet there now, but says that there
are more world-beaters, in the way of
mines, than in any camp he ever saw.
There are so many good claims that a
book would be required to describe
them all. A few, however, are well
known, and as Mr.. Healey visited
them he can speak from personal OBJ
servation.
The Eagle Bird, owned by the
James Brothers, and situated on the
northwest side of Garfield gulch, and
about half way up, is showing up
wonderfully. Three shafts are sunk,
80, ~, and 10 or II feet deep. The
35-foot shaft shows about two feet of
galena and carbonate on the footwaIl
and about three feet on the hanging
wall-of carbonates in which a shot
broke through accidentally. Several
assays have been made, and showed,
respectively, 303, u, and IS ounces
silver, besides about AZ per cent.
lead. In the other Shafts they also
have two feet of solid galena and four
feet of carbonates lying alongside,
and the hanging wall has never been
cut into yet. The 22-foot shaft makes
the best showing. The shafts are
about $50 apart, all on the same
ledge (which crops out boldly, and
any one who knows ore when he sees
it can see that this is big mine.
Adjoining the above is the Win
chester and Edwards group. The
Tom Paine-one of these-shows Is
feet of carbonates that average 80
ounces silver and 40 per cent. lead.
They also have about a 1O.inch
streak of gray copper that carries be-
tween 500 and 600 ounces silver per
ton, and about 6 per cent. of copper.
A shaft sunk on this claim is about "a
feet deep, and shows good ore all the
way down. Not one shovelful of
waste was ever hoisted out of the
shaft.
In the same group, and belonging
to the same parties, are the Infdel,
Bob Ingersoll, and Bunker Hill
They all show ore in large bodies, but
although assays of as high as TIC
ounces have been obtained, the aver
age will scarcely exceed so ounces.
On the west end of the James
Brothers clam is the Whistler
owned by Harry Jay & Co. There il
a shaft about rs feet deep sunk on it.

MR.. FOLGER'S SUCCESSOR.
A Belief that the President Has offered Gen
Gresham the Treasury Portfolio.

New YoRK, Sept 13.-President Arthur who,
with three members Of his Cabinet and his pri-
yate secretary, has been able to transact a good
deal of executive work at the Fifth Avenue Ho-
tel for the past two or three days, left here for
Secretary Frelinghuysen's home, in New Jersey,
this afternoon. There has been good deal of
talk about the choice of a successor to Secretary
Folger, and an appointment is likely to be made
by Monday. The President is known to have
about determined upon the Secretary, and he
says he is not quite ready to make the name
public The choice seems to lie between Assist
ant Secretary Coon and Judge Gresham. It is
believed now that if Mr. Gresham does not want
the place, he will be speedily appointed TO Judge
Drummond's seat on the Bench. The President,
it is said feels the Importance of giving the most
important circuit in the West to Judge Gresham
before the opening of the October term.
A Washington dispatch says it is believed the
President has offered the Secretaryship of the
Treasury to Postmaster general Gresham, and
that the latter has the question of acceptance
under consideration. He refuses to talk on the
subject, but the opinion is gaining strength that
General Gresham will succeed Judge Folger

Whatever the necessity may be in the esti-

ceptlonal legislative measures recently enacted
IN respect to that country, this government can
not view with unconcern the application of the
summary proceedings attendant upon the prose-
cutlon of these measures to naturalized citizens
OF the United States of Irish origin, whose bust
ness relations may render necessary their pres
ence in ireland or any other part of the United
Kingdom or whose flial instincts and love for
kindred may have prompted them to revisit
their native country.
IF American citizens, while within British
jurisdiction, offend against British laws this
government will not seek to shield them from
the legal consequences of their acts but it must
insist upon the application to their cases of those
common principles of criminal jurisprudence

County taxation Of RAILWAYS.

HELENA, M T., Sept. IA County commits
sioners representing all the counties through
which the Northern Pacific railway passes in
Montana convened at Helena yesterday. to take
uniform action concerning taxation of the road
which the company opposed. Eight counties
were represented. A law firm, which was em-
ployed to investigate the legality of assessing
and taxing the property of railroad corporations,
presented an opinion affirming the right of the
counties to impose taxes upon all unsurveyed
lands and town sites. A resolution in favor of
taxation was passed with but two opposing
votes. and an agreed case was made between
Jefferson county and the railroad corporation.
The counties interested, except Deer Lodge, will
bear their proportion of the expense.

Reinforcements for Courbet-A Stormy Meet

LONDON, Sept IA Paris dispatch says a
Haiphong telegram to the Temps says all interest
is centered in the operations on the Chinese lit
toral The troops at Haiphong are on the de-
fensive, awaiting the dry season before a
further advance. Twelve companies of marines
have gone to reinforce Admiral Courbet
1t is stated on good authority that the meeting
of the French Ministers yesterday on the Chi
nese question was an exceedingly stormy one.
Several members urged NJ. Ferry to convoke the
Chambers at once. They gave as a reason for
their belief in the policy of this measure that the
peasants were becoming alarmed at the prospect
of big war with China. M. Ferry, however,
ridiculed this idea and stated that as far as
he could discover, the country people thus far
had taken little or no interest in the matter.
In any event they could only understand the
situation to the extent that it was explained to
them by their leaders, and there was certainly
no ground for the pessimistic view Of affairs
said to exist in the provinces One more ''Cour-
bet lesson, urged M. Ferry, will bring China to
her senses, NJ. Ferrys calculations, the strate-
gists claim, will surely be upset in the event of
formal declaration of war by China Then he
will probably be forced to convene the Chambers
and lay his policy before the people. Several of
the Paris newspapers persist in the state
1nent that negotiations are still in
progress between the two powers,
and that the high ground taken by
the Premier can only be accounted for in this
way, tits denied that parleying of any kind has
recently occurred. The rumors that France has
offered the island of Corea to Japan, as com
pensation for her assistance should war be openly
declared, are assuming such shape that many of
the French journals assert that they have some
foundation in truth. But this event is extremely
improbable, as it is known that Russia has al
ready notified the French government that she
objects to any interference with existing allegi-
ances in Chinese waters, and that an attempt to
parcelou territory as a reward for armed assist
ance will not be tolerated
