Better Mining Laws Dem a md ed
The decision Of the Coroner's Jury
in regard to the deaths in the fatal
explosion at Newburg shows about
as sad condition of affairs as could
well exist in the management of any
mine-very meagre and inefficient
mining laws and disregard of what
little law we have H., 7.s.a,
The evidence and decision does
imply that blame is to be attached
to the company alone, though the
carclessness shown by the manage
ment is certainly criminal. butSthe
thoughtlessness of the miners and
the sluggishness of the people OF our
State in comprehending the dangers
of mining and passing efficient laws
for the safety of minors. When the
management of the Orrel mine and
the voters and Legislators of our
State seriously ontemplate the fact
that had they done their duty, these
thirty nine men might now be living
and supporting and comforting their
families instead of having been swept
away without moments warning
to fill untimely graves and leave
their wives and children destitute
and heart broken, the thought must
sting home to the heart with no
small feeling of remorse.. Such re-
sponsibility is fearful to think upon.
If anything could make men prac-
tice charity toward the stricken fam
lilies that have been robbed of sup
port, such contemplation should.
The recommendation of the coro-
ner's jury for passing more stringent
laws, should be the first sub
ject that occupies our next Legisla-
ture. The awful warning given by
this calamity cannot for moment
be unhecded by other miners and by
the people. Life is too precious to
be needlessly sacrificed, and the
Joys of home too sacred to be forever
swept away by such calamities.-

Mrs. Bayard, wife of the Secretary
of State, died Sunday morning. She
had long been an invalid, but the
immediate cause of her death was
grief for the loss of her daughter two
weeks ago. The Secretary is COM
pletely broken down under this
double grief, and it is reported that
he will resign within a few days.
Sam Jones, who is now retaining
many Of the "qpeens" Of the Queen
City of the West, said the other day
to an audience of eight thousand
people in Music Hall: 'If there is

little old cotton string for back

Kimberley Gold Field.

We are indebted to Mr.. Brownlee, a
miner on upper French creek, for a
copy Of the Northern Territory Times
and Gazette, a paper published in Pal
merston, Port Darwin, from which we
gather the following relative to the late
gold discoveries in Australia:
The placers in this new field are very
shallow, ten inches being the average
depth to the bed rock. The character
Of the gold is unusually coarse, consist
ing principally Of nuggets varying in
weight from several penny weights. to
five, and even ten on' ces. The distance
from Cambridge Gulf, the most favor
able point on the coast to start from is
$50 miles, which is travelled by stage
through country, the greater part of
which is we'll watered, twenty miles
being the longest stretch without water.
Miners supplies are transported from
Cambridge Gulf and are necessarily ex
pensive. Flour commands SO cents
pound; sugar and tea are less costly,
and can be purchased, the former at 25
cents, and the latter at 100 per pound.
The field is said to be quite extensive.
and up to date June l2th) no one had
returned from the mines without con-
siderable gold. Jack Horigan, formerly
of the Hills, is reported as having come
in for supplies with 100 ounces of gold.
The gold found in this field is said to
be of fine quality, the true value of
which is stated to be sl095 per ounce
Water at the mines was reported to be
getting scarce, which greatly retarded
mining operations. No Chinese are per-
mitted TO mine in the new field.

Four Per Cent Limit Act,

Under the provision of the recent act
of congress, limiting county indebted
ness in territories to per cent Of the
assessed valuation, Custer county cannot
legally issne any further evidences of
Indebtedness in any form whatever.
The total assessed valuation of the
county in round numbers is S657 900,
four per cent of which is S26,2S0, which
is the maximum beyond which we can
not legally pass. The county at present
has debt, bonded and floating, Of
nearly double that amount, and can not
under this act, be further increased
but since it is apparent that impossible
ties are involved in the compliance
with the absurd provisions of this law,
and that other counties similarly stuat-
ed, are ignoring it, We presume our
warrant mill will continue to grind as
usual, since it is now apparent that legal
limitation don't limit. Four per cent of
a fellows assets might be considered an
ample amount for spending money
down east, but in Lawrence and other
fast counties, peopled by class who
have nothing small about them except
their ministerial aspirations, it is too
ridiculously tr:tling tor serious consid-
Grafton Let heI grind.

County Nominations.

The nominating conventions Of both
parties, upon which devolves the i'm
portant matter OF the selection of men
to fill the leading offices Of Custer coun-
ty have been called to convene in this
city AT an early day, and in view Of the
paramount importance of placing good
men in nomination for Offices, the ut
most care should be exercised in the
selection of those whose thorough COM
potency is beyond question. While we
admit that integrity should be held as
an indispensable requisite, every con-
sideration of public policy demands the
thorough competency ofa public Official.
We have but to call attention 10 the
early official records Of this county to
illustrate the mistaken policy of placing
men in important official positions
wholly upon their reputation for hon.
esty, entirely ignoring the apparent fact
of their utter incompetency, which has
resulted in one instance at least, in so
completely confusing and ambiguously
mystitying certain records as 10 tax TO
the utmost the brain ofthe most expert ac
countant in his efforts to reach correct
solution. We therefore urge upon the
delegates to whom this matter will be
intrusted, the policy Of selecting candi-
dates who are not only strictly honest
but who combine with it the essential
qualification of official ability.

Custer Threatened.

Inc News man, VINO HAS fttthtiy
merged into the pale Of proprietorship,
vocing the sentiments Of his renowned
predecessor, who is credited with the
distinguished honor i?} Of having form
ufated in advance the brilliant action OF
the political triumvirate, whereby this
city and precinct was measurabiy dis
franchised, now seeks by threat and
intimidation TO force submission, on the
part of our people, TO an outrage which
is absolutely unparalleled in the history
Of this Oh any other county. We quote
from the News of the 10Th:
Custer is evidently 10th to realize
that owing to the fact of the increased
population consequent upon the passage
Ofa railroad through the eastern end of
the county, that the tail which was once
wagged by the dog now wags itself, and
| il Custer people insist upon bolting 1t
will wag the dog, too"
We have only to refer TO the appor
tionment Of delegates made by the Re
publican Central committee in this
place, which gave Buffalo Gap repre-
sentaton in the county convention
equal to that given to this precinct, to
show couclusively the utter fallacy of
the charge Of being 10th to realize" the
advent Of the railroad. Fair minded
mo" in every precinct in the county,
including Buffalo Gap, the sentiments
of whose citizens this model journal by
no means reflects, will, AMI do readily
admit the Justice of the latter apportion-
ment, and condemn in unreasonable
terms, the gross injustice contemplated
by the meager minority of the central
committee in their action at Buffalo
Gap on the 9th inst.
The fairness and unbiased character
of the action Of the committee in this
place Is further illustrated, by the action
Of the Democratic Central committee
which convened in this city on Satur-
day the 18th inst. which allowed the
Custer precinct one delegate in excess
oflhe number apportioned to Buffalo
tap, and which we DO not hesitate to
say, VIII toe found TO be nearer correct,
when the number OF voters IN each pre-
clhct lS determined than either OF the
app"rtIonments formerly made. The
