Ed. p. G. ADvERTIsER-Sir: Knowing
that some strange accounts have been

found it was not necessary to perform
any operations. The men had had a
little food, but were in dazed and ex-
hausted condition. The wounds were
dressed and the men put to sleep. They
had tried to sleep, but could not. Food
was ordered for them, and H. N Green

pared and sent down to them; ]. d.
Paris, Esq, purchased clothes and sent
them down just as soon as he could, SO
that they were well provided for. On
the 31st policeman came and had a
look at the men. On August 1st he
came again and brought some clothes.
He had the men removed to a place
where they could be more readily
reached. The men had an idea that
they knew best how their wounds should
be treated, and so the one who had re-
ceived the greatest amount of injury
took off the things first provided. They
have had the best of care under the cir
cumstances.
On August 9Th policeman came and
said he had orders to take the men to

least three hours for them to reach, and

Extent or our Placer Ground.
Cmur d'Alene Record.

Extent or our Placer Ground.
Ceur d'Alene Record
At no time within two years, ex-
cepting about three months of winter,
has there been probably less than
one thousand men prospecting in the
various districts comprising the Occur
d'Alene mines, and It's possible that
the limit of the Placer district can
now be defined, and the gold produc-
ing creeks named. First in size and
value is Prichard creek, which is
known to contain gold, in paying
quantities, for eight miles of its length.
Dream, Missoula, Dry, Nugget, Buck
skin, Alder, Gold Run, Cougar, Wesp
and Reeder gulches and Butte creek,
all tributaries of Prichard, add about
seven miles more of good paying
ground to the list. Along the noun
tain ridge, in which the tributaries
head, lies a large deposit Of old wash.
This has been opened in several places
and many rich spots have been found,
but owing to its great depth and ex-
tent, it will be many years before the
wealth it contains can be gathered by
man. Lying between Dream and
Daisy gulches, the latter being fork
of Eagle, is tract of old wash a
thousand acres in extent, which must
be in its centre from four hundred to
five hundred feet in depth. A shaft
over one hundred feet in depth, was
sunk on the rim, on the Daisy side,
and pay found, but owing to bad air,
and amount Of water on the bed rock
the work was necessarily stopped.
-Four miles of the lower end of Eagle
creek, and two miles of one of its
heads, are known to contain pay.
This creek is supposed to contain gold
in paying quantities for its entire
length, for though its channel bed has
never been reached, gold has been
found on its rim wherever touched.
Daisy and Fancy gulches, forks of
this stream have about wages diggings
as has Lost creek, which runs into the
North Fork of the Occur d'Alene.
Across the divide to the southwark
are Trail creek. which pays well for
three miles, Potosi gulch, which car
ries pay in the creek and on bar
running parallel with the stream, for
q mile, and Placer and Prospect
gulches, with about mile more of
rich ground. There is also paying
bar, running almost the entire length
OF Trail creek Gil the west side. Rea-
Yer creek, like Eagle, has not been
prospected, but there can be no doubt
that it will pay from Pony gulch to its
mouth. Pony, which has two miles
of moderate pay, must have given
some gold to the main stream, banks
of old wash run parallel with it for
miles, which, with the rich overflow
from Trail, must have deposited
enough of the precious metal in Bea-
yer, to pay for mining it. Outside
OF the Pricbard, Eagle and Beaver
districts all of the placer mining is
but an experiment. But our pros
pectors, who are digging holes in
every gulch, mountain and canyon for
fifty miles around may yet open up a
new field for mining enterprise.

PRACTICAL POLITICS,

In referring to the nomination of
a new Cabinet by a correspondent
yesterday, we said it would be out
of place to comment upon the names
preferred. What we meant to have
stated, but inadvertently omitted,
was that it would be out of place to
discuss the nominations until the
nominees had signified their willing
ness to stand. We are glad, how
ever, that the ice has been broken,
that note of practical politics has
been sounded. 1t is unworthy OF
the patriotic people of the Kingdom
that matters should be allowed to
drift fatuitously as they are doing.
What is the sense of murmuring and
disaffection at the administration of
affairs, if not finger is to be lifted
to bring about change until the
eve of the elections? The people
cannot be expected to give an in
telligent verdict unless they have
ample opportunity to discuss rival
men and measures. Complaint has
been made that the young men do
not take an interest in politics. The
letter published yesterday shows
that the indifference complained Of
is not universal. Many young men,
and older ones too, who do not now
take stock in politics would doubt
less do so if the lines we're drawr
upon explicit principles. As it is
they show good,sense in avoiding te

species of bushwhacking politica
warfare. Let those who are pre-
pared to give the country bette

acting upon, come out into the opel
and define their principles and nam
their standard bearers. A stand-ul
fight upon square issues would hav
lasting benefits to the country what
ever the immediate result might be

small space in your valuable paper,
in reference to an item published in
yesterdays issue, about Chinaman
losing some fine pigs in Kalihi Val
ley through eating glandered horses.
Now, the thing strikes me very forci-
bly, the informant does not know
much about pigs and knows less
about glandered horses. If he can
prove and make the public believe
that pigs will attack dead horse,
unless the flesh be cut for them to
taste the blood, then we might take
the thing for granted. am not
speaking of the wild boars of the
prairie. Secondly, he must prove
that the pigs will die through eating
the flesh of glandered horses, as the
article referred to stands contradic-
ton, and it is an open question with
people of common sense and reason
whether they will die from such a
cause. L for one practically say
they will not. l think your infor-
mant ought to have a little more

EMERSnN'S MlNSIRELS.

A large audience was present at
Music Hall last evening to witness
the fifth entertainment by the above
troupe, and everyone went away
fully satisfied. Messrs. Reinhart
and Berger opened the programme
by playing selection from William
Tell, after which AL Holland sang
most tastily the song, "Blue-eyed
Bess." He has a most pleasing
baritone voice, and knows how to
use it. Those fine song and dance
artists, Walsh and King, gave an
amusing ditty, Swim out to Glory"
which was redemanded. Harry Cogill
was loudly encored for his selection,
'sLittle Wife Nellie" and then
came his brother Charley, the funny
man, who sang comic song. OF
course he was encored and gave
1.-THE Hungry Man from Frisco"
introducing some very clever Ha-
waiian hits. The first part concluded
with the great Emerson in his
Climb-up" medley. Stanley and
Pixley followed with their specialties,
after which the two favorites, the
Cogill Bros, appeared and kept the
house in one continual roar Of
laughter. The best thing of the
evening, musically, was the next
number, "The Anchors Weighed"
sung most exquisitely by Ben Clark,
who has a fine tenor voice, and sings
with almost perfect expression. This
number was encored, he responding
with a song, "Good Bye" Walsh
and King appeared in the amusing
sketch, i5"Old Kentucky Home,' y
taking five different characters be-
tween them. Billy Emerson as
"Moriarty,,' &the well-known New
York policeman, was simply i'm
mense. 1t was given rs only he can

SO that we have nothing to grumble
at as far as the weather goes. The

INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY.

If individuals would only recog-
nize and act upon their responsible
ulity to the community, there would
be less railing heard at the inertia of
the mass, and there would be less
dealth Of means OF physical and
mental improvement. That PROPOSE
tion may be hastily put down as q
bald truism, but as it applies to
Honolulu it is more than that. Tho
fact seems to be here that most
members Of the community have
fallen into respondent habit re-
specting every proposal for the COM
mon good which requires common
action. 81 believe it would be
good thing, but it can never be sus-
o tanned here" is the disheartening
response most people will give to an
appeal for their cooperation in ANY
movement designed for mutual btne-
fit, which requires sustained interest
and perseverance to make Success.
Because project has failed once or
often in past times is not sufficient
reason why it should meet with cer-
tain failure if tried now. Previous
failures may only serve to give a
clue to the causes why success was
=, not achieved and. so be helpful

is good motto for communities as
well as for individuals, and for the
latter in their relations to the former.
Therefore, we would suggest that
from henceforth, when any member
Of this community is solicited to join
in a laudable social enterprise, he
should take hold and help if he can
do SO, and if he cannot, then do
nothing to dampen it. Times OF
business stagnation should be favora.
BILE for a revival Of intellectual ac-
tivity, When people have not enough
business to fully occupy their minds,
q there would be great advantage in
turning their thoughts to other mat
ters OF personal and social benefit.
If there is not to be compara-
iltive intellectual stagnation in
o this community, its member:
must meet upon common ground al
frequent and regular periods for in
terchange, of ideas upon practica
questions of both universal and loca
bearing. There are probably few
citizens Of Honolulu who do not be

EDITORIAL NOTES.

A correspondent calls in question
statement made in one of yester-
days news items, that q number of
hogs in Kalihi Valley had died from
eating glandered horses. Our infor-
mant is q credible one who lives in
the locality named, and we have no
doubt he will be prepared to give
his grounds for the statement. At
all events, q similar statement was
made some time ago by another
paper, and it is incumbent upon the
authorities to investigate the matter.
Out of eighteen of the chief citi-
zens interviewed by representative
of the A1vertiser, thirteen were de-
cidedly opposed to the issuance of
liquor licenses for the out districts.
OF the five who approved Of licenses
two are directly interested in the
liquor trade. Most of the majority
were in favor of the principle of
local option, some with the reserva-
tion that it would be useless if it
included the vote of the masses. II
is useless, however, to talk Of local
option now, when the last Legisla-
ture decided against it. The Minis
ter Of the Interior has the option OF
deciding whether the wishes of pro-
perty-owners in the districts affected
are to be regarded in the matter.
