What the Bill Is.

The bill now before the President excluding the Chinese provides (Sec- tion l) that "from and after the pas sage of this act it shall be unlawful for any Chinese laborers, who shall at any time heretofore have been or who may now or hereafter be resident within the United States, and who shall have departed or shall depart therefrom, and shall not have returned before the passage of this Act, to re- turn or remain in the United States. The second section provides "that the certificate of identity provided for in Sections and of the Act to which this is supplement shall not here after be issued, and every certificate hereafter lssu ,d in pursuance thereof is hereby declared void, and of no effect. and the Chinese laborer claim ing admission by virtue thereof shall not be permitted to enter the United States" Section 3 provides that ''all duties prescribed, liabilities, penalties and lforfeiturss imposed and powers conferred in Sections ?, 10, II and l2I Eof the Act to. which this is supple mentary, are hereby extended and made applicable to the provisions of this Act" Section 4 provides that ''all such part or parts of the Act to which this is supplementary, as are inconsistent herewith, are hereby re- pealed." This Act shuts out all Chi nese laborers who, it is alleged, for merly resided in the United States and are now in China, It also shuts out all those who may hereafter de- part. The Act is not by any means as harsh as it appears on its face. It is, Oh the contrary, just retribution for the coflossal perjury that has been employed in the Coolie traffic. Pro ba5ly nine-tenths of the Chinese who leeve this country never return. The certificates are subjects of barter in Hongkong. The Act merely shuts out the fraudulent holders of certih- c ties. Chinese of the privileged classes can still enter under the Act-that Is to say, merchants, students, teachers and travellers. Bnt they must present passport from their Governmen t fully describing them.

their mine in few months, and u @ result in both cases, development opened new ore bodies. Having prac- tical superintendents, however, they went slow, and having achieved practical and tangible success, with the result that shekels galore have swelled the exchequers of the Arizona, Clip owners, and the Paymaster, Bos- ton people. This successful operating of private mines is a we'll known en- tity among practical western mining men, and is but an example of what exists throughout the great west.
 Considerable ore, silver smelting is being mined by tributers and owners in a small way at the old Castle Dome mines, owing to the advance in lead; the ores average thirty ounces silver, sixty five per cent. lead, and are situ- ated twenty miles from the river, fifty from Yuma northerly.
 The Indian, Mexican, and few American dry placer miners are scat tered through the country and consid- erable gold dust is received regularly in Yuma by the merchants. This dry washing is an industry to which I shall devote paper in the early fu- .ture; it is pecnliar alone to desert mining. TAYLOR D. MACLEOD.
