moRE LABOR.

The San Francisco Post says the state
Of affairs that is being unearthed by the
Immigration Committee is as bad as 1t
well could be. The conditions Of Italian
immigration and the state Of the Italian
colony in New York seem to be much the
Same as that Of the Chinese on this side
Of the continent. The immigrants are
in general imported by Italian bankers
or psdroni. When the immigrant pays
his own fare the padroni collects 50 COM
mission on each ticket. When the immi.
grants fare is paid the importers hold
his wages and collect three or four times
the amount advanced. The Italian bank
ers act as contractors and sell the labor Of
their countrymen in gangs for any price
they can get from 70 cents a day up.
The bankers act in all ways as the Chi
nese Six Companies, except that they do
not care for their own paupers.
The Italian companies, according to
the testimony Of the immigrants, send
agents through the villages, telling the
peasants Of the immense wages to be had
In America. The walls are covered with
plecards guaranteeing laborers 81 so per
day in New York. This attracts all who
have money enough to buy a ticket, and
the bankers collect So a head commission.
A witness examined stated that he
would be willing to work for 70 cents q
day. He would spend % cents a day for
his living and save the rest. When
asked il he could live well on 25 cents q
day he replied: mot very well, but
pretty WE'LL" He earned a little more
than a franc 40 cents) q day in Italy.
on which he supported his wife and two
children.
The workingmen Of New York made
no mistake in demanding that Congress
should investigate the Italian influx.
The American workman cannot work
for rs cents q day nor can he live on %
cents of il. When the greed of steam.
ship companies and padroni food the
country with this kind Of material it is
well that they should protest.
There is no law at present to deal with
much of this immigration. Aside from
the professional paupers and criminals
and insane, the American workingmen
will have to submit to their competition
unless the law is amended. The laborers
do not. apparently, come under con.
tract, but their labor is farmed out by
the bankers in New York. The labor
unions are the ones to move in this
matter, if anything is to be done.
italian immigration is steadily increas-
Ing. 1t has risen from 4 1000 in 1884 to
over A, 900 in 1887. and over IS, 900 had
arrived in the first six months Of this
year,

IDAHO.

The Salt Lake Tribune says the Chi
cago Tribune insists that the Pan Handle
Of Idaho should be cut of and attached
to Washington, and that the remainder
of Idaho, being a desert as bad as Ne
vada, should be attached to Oregon or
Nevada, assuring the world that Idaho
canno expect Statehood through its nat.
ural growth for fifty years to come, and
that it is wrong to compel the men of the
Pan Handle to 60 around q thousand
miles to reach their capital. The answer
is that the horseback opinion of a news.
paper fifteen hundred miles away should
not count in a case OF the kind. Idaho
is growing faster than any other Terri.
tory except Montana and Washington,
and is increasing in wealth faster than
Washington. 1t is the best watered of
all the Territories, and there is no reason
why in five years from now it should not
be as well prepared for admission as
Washington now is. The Tribune cites
its status in 1880. Since then two rail-
roads have crossed it, and mighty devel.
opments have been made. From the Pam
Handle to Boise via Walla Walla the
distance is less than four hundred miles.
As to cutting off the northern portion,
that should be q matter for the people
themselves to decide. In making State
boundaries there should be some little re-
gard paid to the form Of the State to be
created. If the people of Idaho and
Western Montana would only agree and
have the western boundary Of Wyoming
extended north, and all Of Montana west
of that line added to Idaho, that would
make . glorious State, and there would
be enough Of Montana left to make a
State by itself. Bot that division is not
desired by the people directly interested,
and SO there is no occasion for changing
the boundaries at all. When Utah gets
fairly on an American basis, and our rail.
road runs through to Los Angeles, Utah
and Nevada will have common and indis.
soluble interests, and there may be then
an utilization, but there is no occasion to
cut up Idaho on the score that it cannot,
by itself, soon become . State. Idaho is
entitled to what she now possesses, un-
less her people decide to give part away.
Idaho is one Of the best mining regions
Of the Republic, and then she can, within
. few years. have more acres Of frst-class
agricultural land under cultivation than
there is now under cultivation in all the
New England States.

Brutal Indian Murderer.

A special dispatch from Carson says;
There was a terrible tragedy at Dang.
berg's ranch, near Genoa. A band Of
I Washoe Indians who had been working
in hay fields, got some whisky and soon
engaged in a drunken quarrel. One OF the
bucks was knocked down with a club and
then tramped to death. His head was
beaten in with bricks and nearly every
every bone in his body broken by the in
furiated savages. While he lay begging
for his life, half a dozen Indians were
jumping up and down on his head until
he was a shapeless mass Of blood and
bones. The murderers fled to the hills
and have not yet been captured.

A cable dispatch from Rome informs
the New York Herald that the Italians
resent the inquiry into the immigration
question on the ground that it is based
upon can unreasonable hatred of the
Italians" In reply to which the Herald
says; "There could be no statement
more absurd. There is no class of immi.
grants more welcome to the United
States than the Italians. They are an
ingenious, frugal, interesting people, and
make good citizens. What we object to
is a system Of immigration which virtu.
ally makes the immigrant a serf and a
pauper-a system carried on solely for
the benefit of foreign shippers, and which
does grave wrong to the immigrant. The
present inquiry is not directed into Ital-
ian immigration alone, but improper i'm.
migration from all lands"

OUR GOLD ANDsILVER PRODUCT

A valuable report from the Director of
the Mint states that the total product OF
gold and silver in the United States dur.
ing 1887 exceeded $50, 500, 900. OF this
total the gold was 1913, 093. 900. Califor.
MIA is the largest producer of the yellow
metal, the yield Of her mines exceeding
sl3, 0O0, 900. The Director estimates that
last year the net gain to the country of
bullion and coin by imports was S2S, 500.
600, and that we used in the industrial
arts about Sl4, SOC, 0Co worth of gold and
S. 900, 900 worth of silver.
The product of these precious metals
in the United States appears to be more
than one-third that of the whole world.
Ia 1856 the world produced about 500,
COO. 900 of gold and Sl26, 600, 900 of sill
YER. II, however, our production Of
these metals is larger for our population.
our consumption of them is proportion.
ately large and seemingly extravagant.
The worlds annual consumption of gold
and silver, as nearly as can be deter
mined, is respectively S46, 600, 900 and
s22. 900, 900. The population of the Uni.
ted States cannot now be more than five
per cent that of the world, but we use in
the industrial arts not far from thirty
per cent of all the gold and twenty-five
per cent of all the silver similarly con.
sumed by all the world.

TRAINING SCHOOLS FOR MINERS
ASD PROSECUTORS.


Engineering and Mining Journal: Ed
ucation shouldbe that preparation which
will best fit everyone to perform the
duties Of life, and since this is Of interest
to the whole community, aud it is far
easier to teach the young than the old,
this education should, where practicable,
be given in the public schools and to the
young.
It is, Of course, true that no American
expects to spend his whole life in any
one occupation in a subordinate position,
and so probably few young men expect
to be prospectors all their lives. Never
theless it is very important for the in
dividusl, and also for the country as a
whole, that the army Of men who so
arduously, and frequently so heroically,
spend the best years Of their lives in the
work Of prospecting for minerals, should
be we'll prepared for the successful per-
Torrance of their work.
What prospector cannot recall the
many moments Of bitter disappointment
he has endured when he learned OF the
discovery by some one else OF valuable
ore in the very rocks over which he had
often walked in his vain and weary
search for the fortune that was lying
under his feet, in full view but for the
cloud Of ignorance which obscured his
vision. There are few more important
occupations than that of the prospector,
and there is hone that requires and pro-
duces a fuller development Of the per-
ceptive faculties.
If a small collection of minerals were
kept at the schools in the mining dis
tricts, and some instruction were given
on their properties, modes Of occurrence,
values, etc., with the specimens and
practical lessons in the field, to enforce
the instruction, as in the kindergarten
system, what an impetus it would give
to prospecting, and what an immense
advantage it would prove to miners and
prospectors in being able to learn the
value of the minerals with which they
are but little acquainted.
There is in nearly every camp some one
who could and would devote attention to
such a collection, and if qualified persons
were engaged to visit the several mining
camps in succession and give a course oil
plain, practical lessons in the field, on
prospecting and mining, the cost, which
could be borne by the school districts,
would be as nothing compared with the
practical benefits that would result tc
abe State and community.

the explorers were all men OF small
means; they had pushed out too lar from

capitalists hundreds OF miles behind. AT
that time il was a very difficult matter

who pushed out into the regions in the
wilds in the early days soon found that
the times were not ripe for the opening
up Of mines in far.away fields. When
the small means they themselves pos.
sessed were exhausted they were obliged
to strike back into the settlements and
