ery-The "Meat 4" OF the Snake Riv.
er Plaeers Secured.
The meeting of the Lucky Bar
Placer Mining Company, at the Unit
ed States Land Office in this city last
evening, was attended by Messrs.
Rorem, French, Furey, Waters, Fay
lor, and Picotte, who constitute the
company. A plan of operations hav-
ing been thoroughly discussed and
agreed upon, Mr.. Rorem was instruct
ed to proceed to Glenn's Ferry, to
make a thorough examination and
test of the company's ground. There
are some 30 holes on this ground,
dug by direction of either Pierce
Dorgan, K. B. True, or other experts
who already visited tho locality. Mr..
Rorem is instructed to sample these
thoroughly, and cause as many more
holes to be dug as he deems proper.
lie also has power to employ all the
help he may require to make this ex-
animation. If the result satisfies him
he is to telegraph to Salt Lake to send
Mr.. Gilberson to Raft river, where
the machinery which the company is
to buy is erected; he is also to notify
Sheriff Furey by wire, and then re-
turn to Haley.
AS soon as notified Sheriff Furey
will take the train for Minnedoka,
where he will meet Mr.. Gilberson,
and the two will proceed to the mouth
of Raft River and examine the ma
chinery. If it is all complete apd in
first class order, as represented by the
owners, Sheriff Furey will accept it
and telegraph for teams and assist
ants to take it down and move it to
Glenn's Ferry, where Mr.. Rorem will
be ready to receive it and have it
erected. 1t is expected that the works
will be started up BY the first of May.
The company has purchased the
three claims of Messrs. McTaggart.
Stamper, and Waters. which are stu
ated on the river front, and are the
key to the bar, as without them work
cannot be economically or profitably
prosecuted on the ground beyond.
They are to pay $4,000 for these three
claims: the first payment was made
March 81; the second payment is to
be made April Is; and the balance is
to be paid as taken from the ground,
the owners receiving rs per cent of
the net proceeds until paid, the re-
naming rs per cent to be divided
among the stockholders. The ground
has, in the meantime, been quit
claimed to T. E. Picotte, in trust for
himself, his legal heirs and assigns.
The machinery in question is en-
tirely new, having only made trial
run of few days. 1t cost over $27,-
900 as it stands, but the Lucky Bar
Company is to get it for $4,000, if
purchased within four months. In
the meantime, and beginning May 1,
1886, the company will be expected,
as remuneration for the use of the
machinery, wear and tear, ETC., to pay
the sum of $500 per month, in ad-
vance. If the Lucky Bar Company
decides to purchase the machinery,
the monthly payments already made
will be applied toward the $4,000 to
be paid for the machinery.
On the 18th inst, after the second
payment shall have been made on the
claims, the company will incorporate
and commence doing business.
An assessment was levied and paid
on the spot, TO defray the expenses OF
Messrs. Furey and Rorem.

SMOKY DISTRICT.
1t will Soon Give Employment to 200
Men.

George Richardson got in last night
from Smoky, where he had been all
winter, engaged in development work
on a claim in which he is interested.
He says that there is great deal OF
ore in sight in number of claims
there, and that the shipments, as soon
as the season opens, will average at
least two carloads per day. About
80 men are working there now, but
in the next 60or 90 days there will
probably be all of 200 men employed.
Mr.. Richardson had to come in by
way of Blacks, some rs miles out OF
the way, owing to the fact that the
road to Croy's gulch is not broken.

 The Eight Hour system.

Tho cry for the eight hour sys' tenn is becoming general. Eigh, hours for work; eight sleep, and eight hours for play. We all know how these eight hours are spent. Scenes that need no delineation here and the whole trouble comes of the spirit of wanting something for nothing. Less time and full pay. Can anyone think that the honest mechanic, with aspiI ations above savage would be content to sit down contentedly and suffer two. thirds of his time 10 slip by unimproved, when his family could be provided for and provision made for the future. Old age IS coming and want will bear it com. pany if man does not take advan- tage of the opportunities of youth and early manhood. What busi. ness is there in life that will yield comfortable living even, with on. ly eight hours work per dayi The merchant and his clerk and all bus mess men all day and much of the night. The honest farmer rises with the lark at tho break of day and follows his blow while his wife and children pull the hoe all through the broiling heat of the midday sun till darkness puts and end to their day of toll, only to be followed by another and another, as the days follow each other. There is an old adage which says, ''let well enough alone" and we would commend it to the earnest consideration of these same men who are so clamorous for this eight hour system, for if they can make a good living and lay aside some thing fer rainy day with only ten hours work, they are beating not only the hard working farmer, but every other class of the working world, and they had better be con- tent, and if they cannot make liv- idg and lay aside something, work ing ten hours a day, they cannot hope to accomplish anything more, working only eight hours a day.

 A Matter of Anlusc mcnt,

It is a matter of no little amuse. ment to watch tte Nevada county Greenback party pose as "thc last friend fthe poor man and laborer; andif that party could only consoli- date into one individual, 1 imagine hc would appear with his under lip drawn in and a big tear trick ling down the side of his nose.
 Now the intention of this party may be good, philan. thropic, benevolent to the highest degree; but it's sympathy for the ''laboring class" reminds us very much of the melancholy toad 0! the fable, who sat upon boulder and mourned all day from sympa- thy for the great big mountain that got caught in the rain.
 This little party is too narrow in it's compass, too weak, too insig niticant to cover more than one boulder of tho great mountain Of American labor, and while 1t may cover that one boulder very well; yet the great forest, rooted and imbedded in that very mountains heart, is the mountains real shel- ter. The Democratic party is the forrest growth in and of American labor. It's princi les are for Ia. bor's protection-are the poor mans principles.
 "United We stand, divided We fall' is a maxim too weIl-known to require explanation. 1.-the labor ing people desert their tried and true, capable, active old Demo. cratic party, and join some ultra, ineffective little orgsnization.-it matters not how sound that organ ization's principles may be-the Democratic party is just to that ex- tent weakened, and the morning dawn of labo:'s prosperity is just to that extent retarded. Now, fall in, friends. Don't be a part of the mourning frog, but be leaf of the great labor-protecting forest ofDe- mocracy. We are all poor and nothing but our combined strength will protect ns. Little combina tions do good-the combination must be big, great, strong, capable of measuring arms with the mill ions of money and millions of min ions of rich corporations and mo- nopolies. Now is the time for you to take your stand-take it in the party where you can do yourself and humanity the most good.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, D. c. May, 9th, 1886.
 From our Regrlar CufreanOndent.

Washington, D. c. May, 9th, 1886.
 From our Regular Correspondent.
 The prospect for the establish ment of 6 permanent Exposition hero in 1889 is gradually taking shape. The promoters of the scheme are very impatient for Congress to do what it has been asked to do towards advancing the enterprise, and are disposed to criticise the dilatcriness of our law makers in rs.ard to this mat ter. The Exposition board is com posed of about one hundred and fifty energetic business men, anu if they were assisted by the coveted appropriation, the great work would begin without delay.
 One of the first things they did was to go to the railroads and get them to agreeto lower fares, without which no great crowd will assem- ble anywhere. Not only can the government contribute many col, lections of interest to this eXpOsi- ton which would not be allowed to go out of Washington, but if a permanent exposition building be erected, many things would be turned over to it that now take Ap room in the department buildings, room which is needed for the act nal transaction of public business.
 The Government has completely outgrown all the provisions made for it thirty or forty years ago and supposed to be adequate for at least century. The Capitol is jammed--the library has overflow. ed; even the Senate and the House are pushed for committee rooms; the White House is too small; the executive departments have had 10 use additional buildings outside. Nothing has ever proved large enough for the growing exigencies of our government.
 Wednesday was a field day in tho House of Representatives and Mir. Hewitt, sturdy Democrat from New York, deserves the thanks of every American tax-pay CT for his assertion of the rights of the people at large against the demagogues in Congress and the claim agents in the lobby.

AmoLg the Northern members the Republicans are com mitted to the policy of heavy pen sion appropriations, not only in pursuance Inf the standard thu par ty has set up for itself in its treat ment of everything connected with the war era, but because the pen sion system affords the readiest outlet for the surplus which accu- mulates in the Treasury.
 The bill upon which Rcpresen- tative Hewitt made his savage as- sault was one to allow bounty money to he paid commissioned officers in the late war who had enlisted as privates, and had failed on account of promotion to get a bounty. He declared that the linn it of endurance on the part of the tax payer had been reached. and that the disoontcnt on account ot excessive taxation was breaking out in riots, dynamite and death Those wanted to dive their hands down into ,hc treasury, toek al vantage of the delicai position the Southern members are placed in, being subject to tho charge of dis. loyalty if they resist the steal. But no one could bring this charge against him and he would make the fight. ''The question today" he said, "is sociul order. At all costs and at All hazards IL must be maintained. II ia better to have bad laws ti.an no laws; it is better to have tyranny than anarchy, and l it is measures like this that are forcing tls issue upon the people. 1 The House should address itselftC measures of rclief-to the reduc tion of taxation"
 "If the reduction of taxation is the primo necessity of the hour why does not your majority reduce it?' asked Mir. Hepburn of Iowa.

 This was tho pitA of the attack upon the bill, and although there are many in sympathy with Mr. Hewitt politically, who do not agree with him on the Tariff cues ton. there are none who do no! commend him for his abuse of the present system of wasting peoples money for undeserved pensions. The fight was stubborn on both sides of the Hall, and lasted from an early hour in the afternoon un- til after midnight.

 "Now, 1t is a fair question wheth. CT the nature of our Federal Union is not such that when one member suffers the whole body suffers?' Are not onr social and political interests and destiny so intcrllnked that we must stand or fall as one?
