pearing in this paper must do SO under
their own name" In other words,
n. letter for publication, addressed to
the editors of the MINERAL ARGUS,
signed by the full name of the writer,
on new subjects, or in reference to
published ones, if clothed in proper

that all the newspaper reports he has
seer relating to that country are gross
Misrepresentation Chronicle.
Parties who have lucrative employ
ment, or something that promises well
in the near future, had better keep
away from that region, at least for
the present. If there is a. much gold
in that section as has been reported,
there is no need of haste, if not, then
it viii not pay to venture. 1t is esti-
mated that $4,000 people will stampede
to that country before May Ist; if SO,

hundred make a living. Itlooks more
like a railroad scheme, augmented by
lot spectators, than anything else.

for supper, and rs many of us had
ridden a long distance, we we're quite
willing to obey the call. The supper
WIS elegant. The tables fairly groaned
under the weight of good things they
were laden With, and would tickle the
palate of the most ~fastidious epicure.

1t is reported that the Marquis de
Mores has lost 5000 head Of sheep,
out of a band Of 1900. These sheep
were brought in from Wisconsin and
Iowa, last Summer. The disease is
not named, but the animals are said to
swell up and bleed at the nose, before
death. The Marquis ig a novice in
the sheep business, and these unaccli-

heaps ofthe bad lands, it could hardly
be expected that they would survive.
