STEADILY IMPROVING.
The Formation In the Ophir Tunnel
Showing Ore.

The formation in the heading Of
the Bullion Ophir tunnel is improving,
slowly but steadily, and more ore is
showing up in the face than hereto
fore. 1t is not yet concentrated sui1i-
GENTLY to make graded ore, however,
but can be jagged into second or third
class. Samples are now taken regu-
larl y and assayed, and the specks and
Jumps of ga|ena are more frequent.
1t is not unlikely that paying ore
will be found there by the Fourth OF
July.

THE NEW SMOKY ROAD.
S2COO More Subscribed to Complete 1t
The Heaviest Donors Ore to be
Hauled 10 HAi!ey for $40 per Ton.


AS it was evident that the funds
available would not sNIlice to open the
new Smoky road to that point where
the pack-trains would be shut off, and
that $4,000 more were required to do
this: a committee started ont yester-
day to see what could be done.
Messrs. McElhaney and Pierce Dor.
gan subscribed $500 more each, and
Mr.. Carter 500, the Philadelphia
Mining and Smelling Company $500,
J. o. Swift $500 (making $1,000 sub
scribed by Mr.. Swift, Whitman &
Walker $50 more, E. A. White $50
more, the Parker boys $40 more.
Parke, Lacy & Co. s25; and so it
went on yesterday and to day, until
the amount was nearly all subscribed.
Work will be resumed immediately
on the remaining six miles of the road,
up Carrie Leonard creek. When
completed to this point it will only
cost so per ton to haul the ore to
Haley, the teamsters agreeing to do
it for that amount, and this rate will
eiiectualy shut of the pack trains
and secure the trade and ore to Hal
ley. AT present 10 tons are shipped
daily by pack train from the Carrie
Leonard mine alone.

A Contemplate COURSE.

Newspaper Organs of the Republican
Party Calling upon the Senate to Thwart
the Popular Will.
Is there not enough patriotism or
common sense left in the Republican
party to stop the mischievous advice,
which is being given by some of its ac-
credited organs, to the United States
Senate? They are constantly harping
on the artagonism which must occur be-
tween the President and that body,
which they designate as the last bulwark
of Republicanism. They call upon the
Senate to stand firm and resist the
further encroachments of the Democ.
racy. The main point, of course, is in
regard to the appointments to Office.
According to those Observation-Disclosures the
Senate should embarrass the President
as much as possible by Withholding its
consent to his appointments, or, at least,
to the majority of them. In other
words, the Senate should set itself up
rs tribunal superior to the American
people, who have given incontestible
proofs of their acquiescence in and
Endorsement of the policy of the Presi-
dent. Besides, there is another branch
of Congress, which more directly repre-
sents the people and that branch is
Democratic, by large majority.
Can the United States Senate afford
TO set at defiance the will of the people,
as expressed in the late elections, the
authority of the President, in relation
to which it only holds a confrmatory
power and the House of Representa-
tives, which is directly from the people?
1t would be as if the House of Lords of
England were to disregard the Lower
House and the plainly expressed will
of the English people. With all their
traditional ideas of feudalism and priv
ilege the peers of England would not
dare what Republican newspapers are
now urging the United States Senate to
do. There is Republican majority of
eight, at the most, in the Senate and
Democratic majority of forty-seven in
the House. Yet such generally care
full paper as the Philadelphia Inquirer
says substantially that while the small
majority in the branch of Congress ex-
lists lit will be matter of very little
consequence to the country what the
majority of the House of Representa-
tives does. The Democrats can only
propose; it will be the Senate that will
dispose"
Nothing can be palmer than the in
timation that the United States Senate
is a sort of oligarchy, placed above the
will of the people and entirely free
to disregard anything that its majority
of eight does not desire. Can anything
be more unrepublican, moreun-Ameri-
can? We have a better opinion of the
Republican majority in the Senate than
to think they would thus set themselves
above their masters, the people? What
ever little life remains in the Republi-
can party would be extinguished COM
pletely by the tidal wave of public
wrath that would follow such an un-
warrantable exercise of power. In re-
spect to the Presidential appointments
and wise legislation in the House of
Representatives we do not apprehend
any marked hostility on the part of the
Republican majority of eight in the

however, insisted upon some VINE
being brought. He drank glass, and
then, with a strange, enforced calm,
told me what had taken place. His
tale was this:
After we had parted company on our
return from Scotland, Carriston went
down to the family seat in Oxfordshire
and informed his uncle of the imperd-
ing change in his life. The Baronet.
an extremely old man, infirm and all
but childish, troubled little about
the matter. Every acre of his large
property was strictly entailed. so his
pleasure or displeasure could make but
lite alteration in his nephew's pros
poets. Still, he wac the head of the
family, and Carriston was in duty
bound to make the important news
known to him. The young man
made no secret of his approaching
marriage, so in a very short time every
member of the family was aware that
the heir and future head was about to
ally himself to nobody. Knowing
nothing of Madeline Rowan's rare
beauty and sweet nature. Carriston's
kiDsmen and kinswomen were sparing
with their congratulations. Indeed,
Mr.. Ralph Carriston, the cousin whose
name was coupled with such absurd
suspicious, went so far as to write a
bitter. sarcastic letter, full of ironical
fluctuations. This, and Charles Car
riston's naughty reply, did not make
the affection between the cousins any
stronger. Moreover, shortly afterward
the younger man heard that inquiries
were being made in the neigh
borhood of Madeline's home as to
her position and parentage. Feel
ing sure that only his cousin Ralph
could have had the curiosity to institute
such inquiries. he wrote and thanked
him for the keen interest he was mani

was King of Syria.
1t was not long after Ben-hadad's failure
to capture Elisha at DOthan that he in
vaded Israel and laid siege to its capital,
Samaria. He was determined to add the
kingdom OF Israel 10 his Syrian domin-
ions. How long the siege continued we
know not, but it appears as though
Jeh0ram submitted to this siege, being
unable TO cope with Ben-hadad In the
field, under some assurance from Elisha
that the Lord would deliver the city. But
when, as a punishment to the people, the
famine in the city became SO appalling
that mothers ate their babes, Jehoram
determines to put Elisha to death as the
one VINO Is responsible for all their dis
tress by a deceptive promise. Fol-
