Failure of tho mission to Turkey.

There is no longer any doubt of the failure of
the mission Of Sir Henry Drummond Wolff, the
British special envoy to Turkey, as it Is an
nounced today that an Anglo Turkish joint occu-
patton OF Egypt has been abandoned and that the
Porte will consider the expediency of sending a
commission to accompany Sir Henry to Egypt. II
Is generally thought that the Sultan's reason for
not accedng to the terms offered by the British
envoy is that he feared Russia would forget her
promises respecting the treaty of Berlin in the
event Of an Anglo English allianca

Thomas J. Read, formerly supsfin-
tendsnt of the Eureka Con. mine.
came in the other day from Hamilton
where visited the mining properties
belonging tn the Sweetwatsr Mining
Company, and he appears very favor,
ably impressed with what he saw. In
the Stafford mine is spar seam dips
ping Into the hill parallel with the
Bescher, Aurora and Hidden Treasure
mines. On the spar seam they have
= body of ore, similar to the ones in
the above mentioned mines, and run
ming to the north into ground entirely
unprospected. That is the deepest
ore ever found ON Treasure Hill. 1t
is high grade, and the lode is about
90 feet wide. In the Fishers Point
lode, near the road between Treasure
Hill and Hamilton, and about a quar-
ter of mile from Treasure City, they
have opened body Of ore about five
feet wide, which looks we'll. The ore
Is high grade, and there seems to be
an abundance of it.
The Sweetwater Company have
number of fine prospects. Their mill
will probably not start up before
Spring They are making some con
nections in the Stafford mine that will
snable them to bring the ore to the
surface at less expense. The prob
abilities are that large amount of
mining will be done this Winter.
The above we take from the Eureka
Sentinel of last Saturday. Of course
we do not doubt its correctness; but
what puzzles us is, that corporation
with such fattering prospects in its
mines and such SQUAD financial back
ing in New York, should resort to a
policy of exscting from its employees
conditions that reduce them lower
than Mexican poems = conn elling
them to wait till June next for pay
day, and making them sign articles,
rslinquishing all right of suit or at>
tachment against the Company. Of
course men who will accept such con-
dltlons deserve no sympathy, but
those who impose them should not
be upheld by the press or public. 1t
is downright tyranny, and no mining
community can afford to contenancs
such policy. The next Legislature
should place law upon the statute
books of this State making such
grinding sxactions by foreign copper
ations impossible for all time.

Tax payers should remember that
this is the Last week of grace in which
to pay taxes. Unless your coin is in
Hamilton on Monday, the 10th, ten
per cent. will be added to your already
onerous burden. Bear in mind that,
unless you are foreign Ito this State J

the payment of this annual contribu~
ton than you can stay the summons
of the Angel of Death. Both are
inexhorable.

If Grand Jury is empanneled at
this term of Court, it should not fail
to sift to the bottom the attempted
poisoning of Mike Ahsrn some months
ago. Mike, it is true, is not the most
desirable citizen; but he is far above
the cowardly assassins who attempted
to take his life in the manner they
did. Let the Grand Jury, when it
meets, investigate the matter by all
means. No human being should be
treated like a coyote or other noxious
animal. The law should throw its
protecting care over all.

The Sentinel says At about 12 40
yesterday morning, (Oct. 800 the

out Of his chair, stood erect and wept

There is a diversity of opinion on

10 Hours BEHIND Time.

The mail which left Eureka on
Wednesday morning did not reach
Taylor till o'clock Friday morning,
being ninetsen hours behind time.
That there is any excuse for such
delay we do not believe. A passenger
who came with the stage informs us
that no serious trouble was experienced
from the effects of the late storm.
The stage reached Jake Harris station
at 0 2. NJ. Wednesday evening and laid
there till next morning to suit the
comfort and convenience ofthe driver.
II behoves Superintendent Townshend
to see that such gross inefficiehcy and
neglect on the part of his employees
do not occur frequently. There is no
one here SO unreasonable as tn growl
over some delay in case of Indictment
weather or heavy snow on the nouns
tain passes, but the delay caused to
our last mail is too much to excuse
under the circumstances.

performed to fair houses. We have
heard but little adverse criticism of

and certainly the performances were
devoid of ought but the strictest
decorum. Ii Manager Peters had
dene AS well in holding his troupe in

permitting them to paint the town

The Kennnbec Reporter says Of Tasker's
team, which met with disaster in this city
last Tuesday: The horse was quite valua-
BILE animal, $3.50 having been refused for him
but few days before The buggy which was a
side-bar top carriage, was considerably broken
up, and it will cost some s25 to $50 to repair it.
The man was cautioned on taking the team
to be particular not to leave the horse alone
without hitching. On being questioned in
regard to the affair on his return to this city,
he did not seem inclined to satisfactorily ad-
lust the damage, claiming that he was not
worth anything and the bill could not be col
lected. Not relishing that kind of talk, the
owners of the team mad him arrested We'd
nesday afternoon and he was lodged in the
lookup over night. Afterwards he was taken
to Jail at Augusta to await the proceedings of
disclosure, which will follow before he again
gets his liberty.
