Placer Prospects Promising.

Shoshone Journal 25thl
Usually the placer miner wears
smile at the prospect Of an abund
ance of water, and the greater the
quantity the broader the smile. Not
so with the average Snake river
miner. The river has every indica
ton of falling as low as it did in
1869. The old-timers are iubilant
over the prospect of the return of
those days when it was no nncom-
mon occurrence to take out $40 per
day to the man with n rocker. There
are lnnumerable low bars, containing
the richest ground, which cannot be
worked in an ordinary season on ac-
count Of the water covering them to
such depth. This fall and next
spring promise to be the busiest
times on Snake river that she has
had for many years.

AMERICAN MINERALS,
The Output of 1887 the Largest Evel
Reached by ANY Country,

Reached by Any Country.
Advance proofs of the volume min.
eral Resources of the United States, y
to be issued by the Division of Mining
Statistics of the Geological Survey,
show that the mineral output of the
United States in 1887, had an aggre-
gate value of 1888, O56, 345. This is the
largest total ever reached by the
mineral industries Of any country. It
is nearly $73,000,000 more than the
product of the United States in 1886,
and considerably more than 500, O0O,-
600 in excess of the year 1885. OF many
items which have contributed to this
result it is noted that all the metals in
creased in quantity, except gold and
the minor metal nickel, and nearly all
increased in price. The significance of
this is seen in the increase in produc-
ton of the fuels necessary for reducing
these metals and preparing them for
use. All Of these fuels, including ma
tural gas, show marked increase.
The increased value of building-stone
is principally due to a more careful
canvass of the industry than has been
possible In the previous years. It is not
probable that the great total recorded
for 1887 will be equaled in the year,
1888.
The following table shows the metal
liz products of the United States in

Less Cotton and More Grass.

The Southern Agricults4rist tells Of q
farmers club in Alabama where a
speaker said ''hls section had capacity
to grow any kind OF clover and grasses;
but these were neglected because of
the idea of growing cotton" He said
cotton was the most expensive crop
cultivated, and paid less in proportion
to work bestowed on it than any other
cultivated. The more bales grown
the less the price, and indications are
that the present crop will not be sold
for over 8 cents per pound. If the
planters of the South would devote
one-fourth of their land to grass and
thus reduce the crop to 5,0OO,O0O
bales the price would be II to IA cents
per npound, and that would pay for
growing.

HARRISON ACCEPTS.
General Harrison Formally Accepts
the Nomination
rendered Him by the Republican Ma
tiOnal Convention and Defines
His Position ON the Issues
Of the Day.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Sept. 12.-Follow-
ing is General Harrison's letter Of ac-
ceptance:
HON. NJ. M. EsrEE AND OTHERS, COMMITTEE,
ETC. Gentleman: When your Committee visit.
ed me On the Fourth of July last and presented
the official announcement Of my nomination for
the presidency Of the United States by the Re-
publican convention, I promised, as soon as
practicable, to communicate to you more Tor
NAL acceptance of the nomination. Since that
time the work Of receiving and addressing, al
most daily, large delegations of my fellow-citi"
Gems has not only occupied all OF my time, but
has. In some measure rendered it unnecessary
municating to the public my views upon the
questions involved in the campaign. Iappre-
ciate very highly the confidence and respect
manifested by the convention, and accept the
nomination with feeling Of gratitude and a
full sense of the responsibilities which accom-
pany it.
1t is matter Of congratulation that the Dec
larations of the Chicago convention upon the
questions that now attract the interest OF our
people are so clear and emphatic. There Is
further cause OF congratulation in the fact that
the convention utterances OF the Democratic
party, II in any degree uncertain or contradict
DRY, can now be judged and interpreted by ex-
ecutive acts and messages, and bydeinite propo-
sitions in legislation. Thtsls especially true OF
what is popularly.known as the tariff question.
The issue can not now be obscured. 1t is not
contest between schedules, but between wide
apart principles. The foreign competitors for
our market have, with quick instinct, seen
how one issue OF this contest may
bring them advantage, and our own
St. Landry democrat. (Opelousas, La.) 1878-1894, 1888-09-22

on their own resources for language.
A great many letters start off with q
sentence to the effect that: Il take nv
pen in hand to let you know that I am
we'll, and hope this letter finds you az
well as it leaves me-" Some letters ad.
dressed to prominent men show an
amazing amount of ignorance. Last
February, when Charles Dickens was In
this country reading selections from his
fathers works, letter directed to him
at New York failed to reach him. 1t
read something like this:
DEAR SIR-Enclosed please find six cents In
! postage stamps, for which please send me a
| copy OF your latest novel: Cricket on the
| Hearth"
There are cranks who come to LIGHT
here, too. One man in Chicago, evil
| IDENTIFY crazy, has for years been sending
letters to some imaginary person in
Hamburg, Germany. He probably aver
ages one every day.
APPEALS FOR MONEY.
Appeals to prominent men for money
| are also numerous here They al
reach the dead-letter office from being
misdirected; and one can not help but
admire the nerve of person who
writes to George w. Childs for a small
matter of $1,000 or $4,000, and through
ignorance addresses his letter to New
York or Chicago.
A few figures as to the amount of
work done here during the fiscal year
just ended may prove interesting. In
round figures, the whole number of let
tiers received during the year was
100000. Of these, 100000 were
sent here because they were not called
for at the post-ofices to which they
were directed, 100000 were returned to
post-offices by hotel-keepers and thence
sent to the dead letter office, because
the departed guests for whom they
were intended failed to leave new adj
dress, 100000 were sent here because
they were insufficiently prepared for
mailing, 1000 because they contained
articles forbidden to be transported
in the mails, 100000 because they were
enormously or illegibly addressed,
and 10000 because they bore no super
scription whatever, The number OF
parcels of merchandise, books, cloth
ing, needle-work, jewelry, etc., received
during the year was about $4,000. The
number of dead letters and samples of
merchandise which were mailed abroad
was 100000. These are all returned to
their respective countries OF origin I'M
opened. OF the domestic letters opened
10000 contained money to the amount
of $40, 900; $4,000 drafts and money Or
ders, representing over $780, 900;
100000 contained postage stamps; 49,
600 receipts, paid notes and Cancelled
obligations of every kind; 10000 photo
graphs and $4,000 articles of merchan-
disc.
Every letter is delivered to the owner,
if possible, misdirected letters being
sent to the persons addressed when
practicable. OF these, 5000 domestic
and $4,000 foreign were so delivered
last year.
Every opened letter containing any
thing of value is recorded, and those
for which no owner can be found are
fled away, subject to reclamation at
any time. Letters of no obvious value
are not recorded, but returned, if pos
sible, otherwise they are destroyed
