ThurstOn County Institutes.

Previous announcement have been
made concerning the County aud
Territorial Institutes to be held at
olympia commencing July Oh,
since which, Mrs. Jones an accom-
plished musician and successful
teacher of vocal and instrumental
music, has kindly volunteered TO
give lessons to the teachers during
the sessions of institute work.
Good music, under her direction will
be provided for public meetings.
This attractive feature together
with the services of the known teach
ers Prof. Taylor of Seattle, and Prot.
Follan,bee of Olympia, certainly
give promise of rare opportunity
for Improvement. May every teacher
in the county and many from other
counties reap tho benefit of the gen.
erous provisions made. Come one,
come all. Let US, if need be, make
some sacrifices, feeling that it is a
duty we owe TO ourselves, to our
profession, and to the children, to
give our hearty cooperation during
the entire sessions. We promise
faithful, practical work on the par,
of instructors, and shall deplore the
was Of time, labor and money if
the meetings are not largely attended.
Teachers should be provided with
note books, papers and pencils, and
BIZ entertained will please notify the
undersigned at an early date.

PrTsBURG June 10.--Mr. James
c. Bailey, OF Philadelphia. formerly
of the Public Ledger, read a letter
to the convention from Geo. W.
Childs, proprietor of that paper, ex-
pressing his interest in workingmen
and especially III printers, and en-
closing check for $40, 900, of which
S., 600 was from the writer and So
600 from A. j. Drexel. No condi
tons accompanied the gift, except
that it be used for the good of the
profession, in whatever manner the
convention may see fit. A CON-
mittee was appointed to draft appro-
pirate resolutions of thanks to the
donors.
A committee was appointed to
meet and devise plan whereby the
gift could be put to the best possible
use, which recommend that the $l0,-
600 remain at interest for the space
of five years. On Child's next birth
day it is proposed that every union
printer working in the offices east of
the Mississippi river shall set up one
, thousands ems, the proceeds of
which shall 90 into the fund. When
the birthday of Drex,el dawns every
union printer west of the Mississippi
river shall contribute one thousand
ems, thus for five wears it is pro.
posed to commemorate the birthdays
of these TWO generous glvers. At
the end OF that period it is expected
that quite handsome sum, some
; thing not far short of $50. 900 will
have been raised. With this it il in
contemplation to erect in Philadel-
phia beautiful hall which shall be
known as the Home of the craft.

COMMENTS of the Territorial press
on the late manifesto of the King
county Grand Jury betray an i'm :
preston that it was not COM
posed of men of very strong
mental power. The belief seems t.
be that they were "run" by some.
body for political or other effect.
It cannot be denied that there has
been rather more than ordinary zeal
manifested by certain officers in the
discharge of their duty, but we
strongly repel the idea entertained
by some that their actions have not
resulted from honest motives.

A BILL passed the Senate Tuesday,
which, with Van Wyck's amendment,
provides for forfeiture of the grant of
lands coterminus with that portion
of the road on tho Cascade branch
not completed at the passage Of the
bill, and by fair implication based
likewise on the vote On Senator Eus-
tees amendment, signifies u DISPOSE
ton 20 confirm title, on all completed
portions of the road up to that time.
As final action Oh the measure may
DO postponed some time in the
House, which subsequently struck
out Of the Senate bill as passed all
after the enactine clause, excepting
the provision subjecting the road
way 10 Territorial taxation, aud in.
serted in its place in the House bill
then on the calendar, there may be
disagreement that will prolong til.
matter some time, and every day
serves to close the gap On the small
remaining portion of the road on the
Cascade branch. 1t may, therefore,
be regarded as forfeiture in a decid
eddy mild form, and powerless to do
much harm to the company, or sub.
serve the purpose for which it was
intended-to destroy growing rival
city. If there is any portion of the
mountain spurs worth contending
for, when the bill becomes law aud
the grant is supposed to die, the
doors of our courts are ever open TO,
an adjustment of any difficulty and
redress of all grievances.

For many long and weary years the
good people OF Prescott and surround
ing country have hoped, planned and
prayed for railroad, because, said
they, railroad will bring Us capital
reduction works and all things neces-
sary TO bring out this long dormant, but
unquestIOnablY rich mining region. Now
that this long hoped for event IL q con-
ceded certainty, aud Prescott will IN q
short while, be. connected with the out
side world, IL behoOves our people to
put their shoulders to the wheel in the
matter OF making the best showing OF
our mineral resources In order that peo-
pie coming here may see. IN the shortest
time possible, the advantage that Is
bound to accrue 10 them o. well as TO
Prescott, 10y the erection OF complete re-
duetion works IN this vicinity. The
Courier has often spoken Of this aud
some OF our most enterprislng citizens
have tried to work the matter up; but
tine time Is ripe for successful move,
and Messrs. Crsigue, Frank Murphy and
other mining men, who know the true
worth Of our mines ere even now moving
IN this direction.
We think there should be, at some
place IN froscotl, u1der charge OF pro-
per persons, samples from every good
mine in this section, two tons from each
mine-One ton high grade and the other
ton low grade. We think the citizens
should take hold OF the matter in
earnest, provide a place for the
exhibit, and, where the mine owner
is unable to transport his ores
to Prescott, TO provide him transpOrta-
lion. Then, capitalists can see right
here, without travel, trouble or unDeces-
sary expense, what ores exist within
radius OF fifty or q hundred miles, and
no better argument or inducement can
ever be offered them to invest here than
this. We do hope that people interest
ed will hearken to this appeal and work
together to accomplish this common
good, IL there is future commercial
greatness in store for Prescott, 1t must
come from the mines. and the man or
men who first put up complete reduc-
tion works here that will successfully
treat our rich, but rebellious ores, will.

Mr.. Dan johnson, one OF the veteran
miners OF GreAterville. is in the city and
will remain here several days. Dan has
prospected the bills OF Arizona for many
wears with varying success. and nov be
contents himself, with taking out the
precious nuggets IN such satisfactory
quantities that be concludes he Is doing
we'll.
In and about GreGterville the mining
Is confined chiefly TO the plscers. At
the present time there is plenty Of water
for the sixty or seventy rockers in opera
tion, and considerable gold Is being tax
en- out. The diggings are about fifteen
feet deep, but sometimes the cement
bed Is fully twenty or twenty five feet
from the surface, aud about all the gold
Is at this bed rock.
Two Chicago companies have the ma
cbinery IN place for running dry con
eutratOrs, and one Of them started up
last Saturday on trial test for Few
hours. Their process is quite simple
aud seems TO be reasonably effective.
The gravel Is screened, and Is passed
slowly through a dryer which evspOraies
ell the moisture. II next passes through
The pulverIZer and afterwards the dust
Is extracted from the heavier par.isl es
by an exhaust draft. The residue des-
cends by gravity to the concentratOrs
and ii the metal is concentrated down
very clean. The machinery is all run by
steam and gravity Is used exclusively in
passing the gravel through the works. A
thorough trial. with ordinary working
Quantities, can only demonstrate the
utility Of the process. but the ooncen-
traitors are said to be so delicate in their
operation that a handful Of feathers can
BE- concentrated easily into one com
pact bunch.
One Of these companies have already
erected fine two-story house, and the
Others will soon erect suitable buildings,
when the place will assume a greater
appearance Of activity.
The two stores at Greaterville seem to
be we'll patronized and they esch do a
good business and buy a great deal OF
the placer gold produced.

Mr.. Conlee Is the superintendent for the
HumboltMiningCo Co. whose mil and mines
are located sixty miles southwest OF
Tucson. He said: "The company owns
three mines. The Plutas, the Golden
Rule, aud Fidelia W have a working
bond on the Octopus group, besides
three other outside groups. We have
erected twenty stamp gold mill, and
have it now about resdy to run. The

gold on copper plates, the residue pas
sing on to the concentrator. The Oc-
topus ore will average $50; Of this the
copper plates Will save about So, and
the c0ncentrator will retain the balance
~ well as all base metals. Twenty tons
of this ore can be reduced TO one ton OF
concentrations. The character OF the
ores embraces black sulphurets, pyrites
OF iron and some galena. The Plutus
hss a width OF SIX feet, and averages
$50. The Octopus Is ten feet wide and
ranges from $50 to $40 per ton. There
is a streak In this ledge which carries
500 IN gold and 80 ounces in silver.
The streak Is small, however. The con-

and Is vastly superior to the Frue Van

Considered from an economical stand
point, Il has no rival. We propose to

care Of the city for his burial goes no further
than % see he gets 20 Potter's field
Formerly the coroner could bring a party
Of his friends as jurors, and the sheriff gave
out cards Of invitation as he would to a ball
That has been stopped, and Sheriff Grant
keeps the number Of spectators down to the
lowest legal number. The reporters acted as
both sherifs and coroner's jury at Chacon's
hanging. The hanging is set down for as
early an hour as possible in the morning 70

dressed in mourning, gather at the sheriffs
Office and march 70 the Tombs. Each bears
his staff Of Office. At the hanging they take
of their hats Us sOons as the weights fall, and
put them on when the body is cut down
In case on the walls in the sherifrs Office
are a score Of slaves and two swords. The
slaves have been present at every hanging
since a time that no employee in the Office can
recall They are about thirty inches long,
and are made Of dark hard wood The mid
die is covered with thin, dark velvet. On
each end is bras tip shaped like an Indian
arrow head The sheriff staff has a crutch
at one end instead Of dart, and the under
sheriff's has a crook The two swords have
