Like n lion growing low,

Like the tread of unseen foe
1t is eoming-it is nigh,

ON your own free thresholds die.
Clang the bells in all your spires,
On the gray hills of your sires
Fling to heaven your beacon fires.

Heart to heart and hand to hand,
Round the old graves OF the land.
Perish party-perish clan,

Next Tuesday the fight for Local Option
takes place in this county. The battle
should call into the field every man who is
honestly and earnestly opposed to the sale
of rum There should be no question of
politics in the fight. 1t makes no differ
ence whether a man is a Republican, a
Democrat or n Prohibitionist in this fight.
II he is a temperance man his vote should
be recorded in favor of this law, because,
if the fight is won, the sale of liquor will
be prohibited in this county for three
years.
Let us now have consistency on this mat
ter. The temperance nan who fails to
turn ont, on the plea that ''the law is not
all it ought to be" thathe desires to pro-
hibit the manufacture and sale throughout
the entire country" ETC.. is simply and
plainly aiding the opposition to temperance
legislation, and his foolish action will here
after return to plague him.
\ full temperance vote will mean a big
victory, and give inspiration and enthusi-
asm Tor greater victories along this line.-

A majority of votes against the ilquor
traffic is always desirable and the circum-
stances under which the election of Tues
day was held render the very large major
ity especially gratifying. Do you know
what will be one of the probable effects OF
so sweeping a majority, temperance voter
who thought sit did not matter much"
whether you voted or not? Next Tuesday
Salem votes on Local Option-and it will
be a much closer fight there than it was
here, When Judge Reed sat at the Court
House to hear what might be said Tor
and against ordering the election, two
prominent license advocates OF Salem were
present. As they were leaving the Court
House, after Judge Reed had agreed upon
August 2s as the day, one was heard TO
say to the other: That's too bad, having
it SO early. l thought we were all to vote
on the same day. If Cumberland should
give a big majority it will make our tenn
perance men work so much harder against
u.s." And on the same day another license
Salemite was heard to remark: eff Cum
berland gives an old fashioned fanatic ma
iority Wen have to work like the over
in our county to come out on top
And how will Salem go? We will not
venture a prediction farther than to say
that Cumberland's result will undoubtedly
have a very s~alutary effect, but We will
quote the words of a gentleman whom we
consider exceedingly well posted in such
matters: Il look for a temperance major
ity of two or three hundred anyhow, and
should not wonder if this would bring it
up to five hundred. Cumberland's cleo
ton will help us at least two hundred
tes."-Bridgeton Meas.

COMBINATION.

Tho cleanup in progress last week
was eifectually completed, and five bars
OF bullion run, which contained in all
1894 ounces fine silver and 1.3 ounces
fne gold. The mill is again running
steadily, crushing as much ore as its ca
pacity will allow. A 20-ton carload of
carborates vii! be shipped this week to
tho Colorado smelling works, Butte,
which will be followed by the shipment
of carload of the best grade ore taken
from the mines. The orc is all hauled to
Philipsburg, from which point it is
shipped. The mines Of the company are
locking first-class, and Supt. Akers has
much faith in tho two properties no"
being worked, viz: Combination and
Buen, Ientre. The Royal Bounty is
not being operated.

SAN FRANCISCO.

On the 20O-foot level the east and west
slopes have been sending up more than
the usual quantity of shipping ore. An-
other carload will be shipped this week.
On the 4oo-foot level, the event of the
week and in the life OF the mine, was the
strike in the east level Friday last. Four-
teen inches of very rich high grade ruby
and gray copper ore came in on the hang
ing wall, essaying from 2O6 TO 1,71O
ounces. Since its appearance it has
grown steadily, and without break or
pinch. The finding Of this body Of ore
23377 feet before it was expected magnl-
ties the chute OF orc whose apex appears
in the winze 300 feet above and 400 feet
east Of this point beyond the reasonable
expectation of the most ardent believer
in the San Francisco and its fortunes.
In the west drift ore has been encoun-
tered. showing twelve inches in the floor
ard twenty eight inches il the roof, as
saying from . to 96 ounces. Without
the strike in the east drift in view this of
itself would be considered lucky to any
company.

Another OF the interesting little
shooting scrapes that occur so frequently
on Willow creek, occurred last Friday
morning between the Dooloy- n ilroy
factions that some time since had a
lively shooting match in the same place
and on the same ground. Pat Dooiey,
was the prosecutor in case before
Justice Labrie Tuesday. having had
Thoo anJ Isaac Ailroy arrested on q
charge Of attempting to kill. The tes-
tincny. as ia the other case, was very
conflicting, each party swearing the other
fired shots at the other It seems as
near us co;:ld be found ont that Dooley
and a man by the name OF Lewis Lair
were in Dooley's field closing up water
bitches that run from the main ditch
through some OF Dooley's land into
Nilroy's Theo Milroy and his brother
were also Oh tho ground attempting to
keep them from doing the same, and the
Dooley party claim they fired couple Of
shots, while the Milroy's claim Dooley
took shot at them. After hearing all
the testimony the justice saw fit to bind
over each of the ,Iilroys in $500 to wait
