VALE KEARNEY.

Time is great leveller of all things
human, and particularly so of human
vanity. This is proven in the reaction
which has taken place in San Francisco
regarding that arch-humbug Denis Kear-
ney, showing that when excitement wears
OIL, many OF the great agitations of the
day, popular in themselves, have, by
cunning rogues, been made the vehicles
OF personal gain, with the general result
OF duping all who followed the crafty
leader. In 1878 Kearney, with a few idle
workingmen, took possession of the
empty lots in front of the new
City Hall on Market street (the
lots We're covered with sand hauled
there for building purposes, hence the
name Sandlots) and on a rude stand of
carpenters horses, made his first public
announcement OF the now famous slogan
"The Chinese must CO." All OF San
Francisco at that time was ripe for the
expulsion OF the Chinese, and the cry
was taken up and repeated by every man,

IHE Indian Summer is upon us, and
the air is laden with a golden pentecost
OF health to humankind, and beauty and
fragrance in nature. The autumnal
equinox has past and left no trace Of
trouble in its path, and this part of the
universe is as silver-tongued pleader,
holding forth upon the bounteousness of
Providence, and reminding the people of
Utah that over and beyond the narrow
line OF human wishes, something greater
and more God-like exists, of which the
present beauties OF nature give undenia-
BILE evidence. Notwithstanding

character sketches? How eagerly are the
papers favored with "Uncle Bill Nye's"
letters, caught up and read in public and
in the family, and laughed over till tears
come, by men and maidens alike, not to
mention mothers, fathers, uncles and
aunts! There is q school of American
humor 1t is in the writings of these
men, and the people know it, and if the
home tables of the gentlemen of the
Enquirer and Times furnish only dyspep-
tic food, that is no reason why all the
rest OF the world should not recognize
the ludcrous in the writings OF the day,
and ease their load of care with healthy
and catching laughter.

The Mormon County Convention, held
in this city last Saturday, instructed its
delegates to the Territorial Convention
to vote for John T. Caine for Delegate to
Congress. As the county delegates were,
OF course, acting under the orders of the
head of the Church, it is quite certain
that it has been decided to continue Elder
Caine as the representative of the Nor
mon people at Washington. The other
county conventions will follow suit, and
Mr.. Caine will be nominated by the
unanimous voice of John Taylor, echoed
by the votes of the delegates in the So
called Peoples Territorial Convention.
The order will be as faithfully obeyed at
the polls, and the Mormon Delegate will
be reelected by the usual majority.

The Democratic Convention in Califor-
mia adopted, with great enthusiasm, the
following resolution bearing upon the
Presidents policy:
WHEREAS, In the election of Grover Cleve-
land, President of the United States, the
people have given decided expression as to
the change in the government of this Ma
tion; and whereas, the Republican party
has been in office for the last quarter of
century, to the exclusion of every Democrat
in subordinate positions of trust; therefore,
be it
Resolved, That the Democratic party Of
the State of California demands the removal
of every Republican now in office by ap-
pointment, except those holding under
OWL service reform, and that Democrats be
appointed in their places.
This is certainly plain and to the point,
and what is more, it expresses the senti-
ment of nineteen-twentieths of the Dem
cratic party in the United States.

Old Dad stalked into town last

he had just been dug out of the

covered up by SO many slides last
winter. Old Dad is a cOdger that
has got pretty good eye to the
welfare of Mr.. Freeman. He came
back with his teeth all in his head

Its Present and FMtmre-The
Prospects for lsSs.

The spring opening finds Saw
tooth, the pioneer mining district
of Alturas, in a most favorable sit
uation for greater accomplishments
in the way of rapid developments
than has been witnessed at any
time since it's first discovery OF
mineral. The Columbia & Beaver
Co., through the most efficient
management of Superintendent w.
d. Vernum, is making preparations
to handle large quantities of ore
from the mines there, and there is
now probability that the excel
lent plant, erected by that Com
pany within stones throw of the
camp, will soon be put into motion.
Mr.. Vernum assures us that the
toll road, owned by his company
and leading over the divide, will
be opened, and this once accom-
plished there will be a steady
in flux of prospecters miners and
freighters to that great country.
The known richness and extent Of
the mineral deposits there is bound
to create a steady growth and
effectual development in spite of
the extreme advesity of deep SHOWS
and long winters.
The Silver King mine is still in
moderate operation and has
extracted a valuable lot of ore dur
ing the past winter. The Pilgrim,
Atlanta and C. & b. properties are
all looking well-needing only de-
velopment, and the future of the
camp is undoubtedly one of sue
cess.

A rich strike was made in the
Independence mine in Elkhorn dis
trict, last week, and the crew has
since taken out several thousand
dollars worth of fine ore. A drift
having been begun between tunnels
Nos. 1 and 2 it was run q distance Of
about 100 feet when the ledge was
crosscut, which at the time of our
interview with the foreman, Mr.,
James. was Of unknown extent
The above amount of ore was ex.
tracted before the hanging wall was
struck, and the ledge crosscut q
distance of six feet. Contained in
this was q fine eighteen-inch vein
Of galena-high grade, and much
good concentrating substance. The
owners have every cause to feel jub'
liant over their good fortune, and
will doubtless make large ship
ments to the emelters this summer

The BlackhOrse Mining Co., OF
Boston and Ketchum, we are
pleased to learn through undisputa-
BILE sources, is now on the best OF
footing and reimbursed with CAPT
tai for the operation of its mine in
this locality. The company has re-
Gently taken up its lease of that
property to T. +. Clohecy 4 Co.,
and is now in full possession of the
mine and ore extracted. Of the
latter there is a fine lot on the
dump which will be shipped to the
Philadelphia smclters in a few days
Mr.. w. II. Page, superintendent OF
the company's interests here, will
return shortly with fresh resolves
for the future development of theil
property on Boyle Mountain, and
fortunately, will find the mine il
excellent condition, as it is left by
the successful management Of Mr.
T. E. Clohecy, who took lease up
on it last July. This is another in
stance of the virtue in leasing unde
veloped mines, and, along will
other examples, goes to demon
strate that the lessee is no mear
factor in the mining development

and business. The concentration
of the motive power and car work
of the Oregon Short Line at the
most central point, was contem-
plated when the extensive stone
machine shops were erected at Sho-
shone, and should that line be ex-
tended in the near future to the
Pacific coast there will be seen
such a new and rapid growth as
has not yet been witnessed in Ida
no. Added to the attractions OF
the Shoshone Falls for tourists, is
the unsurpassed climate of this
section for health-seekers, and as
a winter resort for the families OF
mining and stock men having bust
ness in the Territory. In this re-
spect Shoshone has an advantage
similar to Denver for it is the nat
ural distributing point and center
for travel and business. 1t is only
a question of time when cOncen.
trating and reduction works will be
established for treating the low
grade ores of Idaho. In addition
to this the winter and summer
ranges Of the Snake river plains are
capable of sustaining from $4,000
to 100000 head Of horses and cattle
and several enterprises looking to
the stocking of this range, are now
contemplated. The placer mines
of Snake river are adjacent, and
thousands of acres of rich sage
brush lands are being reclaimed
and cultivated. The nucleus OF
one or two institutions of learning
are assured, and many persons
with capital are turning their eyes
toward the coming city of Sho-
shone.-Shoshone Journal.
