HITS THE NAL SQUARE.

a miner who knows whereof he
speaks, writes to the Boulder News
as follows regarding the sale of
mining claims. Our prospectors
should read and digest it carefully:
Now, Mr.. Editor, as you wish TO
hear what miners think about adj.
vertising | have few remarks to
make, and hope some other miners
will also rise and explain" 1t is
an indisputable fact that il pays
the owners of any kind of property
for sale TO advertise il as widely as
possible. 1t pays TO let as many
people as possible know that some
thing can be bought. II also pays
the newspaper and increases its
circulation. The best way 10 ad-
vertise a mine is to ship car loads
of rich ore and have heavy bank
accounts, but in many cases this
cannot be done because the mine
owner is too poor to do development
work and buy machinery. He
may know positively that his mine
or prospect is the depository Of inn
mense wealth. and also know that
the means at his disposal are made
quate to extract that wealth. He
also knows that capitalists can ex-
tract it, and that they want good
mining property. Why then should
not the miner and prospector tell
the capitalists through the news
papers or otherwise that he has for
sale what they want to buy? 1t is
nothing but right and proper that
he should advertise. He need not
lie about what he has for sale, but
simply tell what it is and what his
price Is. This will not help the
'back-cappers and black-mailers'
one iota., II will rather block their
game. One great advantage of ad
vertising claims is that it gives the
prospective purchaser a chance tc
deal directly with the mine owner
Everybody knows that one great
curse and drawback to mining il
the ubiquitous Middle Man" In
many cases not one middle man
but perhaps a dozen. What dc
these middle men dD2 Why the
first one wants from D per cent. Il
80 per cent. commission. That is
tackled on to the owners price
The next middle man is bigger
bug and he doubles the price -
that he may get compensation fol
his valuable services. So il eoe,
on and il sale is effected the pric,
paid is enormous compared will
the pitiful sum paid to the min,
owner. Then what is the results
1t is this--the price paid is too
high. the mine cannot pay divi
dends, mining has received another
black eye--in fact the purchaser
has been swindled. 1t is not al
ways this way yet IT frequently is
Now | cav to those having claimi
for sale there is remedy. Adver
tisc in your county papers, tell thu
truth about your mines, deal direc
if possible with buyers. Ard
would sag 10 mine buyers, buy o
owners direct. Investigate first, j
misrepresentation is apparent don

Although in type, the following
was unavoidahly crowded out of
the BULLETINS columns last week:
Beatty moved to strike out Sec
ton of article on county bougd.
aries and organization, which pro-
vides that no county shall be d.
vided unless majority Of the quail
flied electors shall vote for the
same at a general election. He
stated that his motion was based on
the ground that the Legislature
would be forever tied from render
ing Justice to bleeding, suffering,
Polandized Alturas, and the work
of corrupt disgraceful Legislature
would thus remain unrighted. The
eloquent member pathetically re-
ferred to wronged CD Alturas and
stated that justice demands that
her lines shall be extended at least
six miles further south.
Wilton Of Logan stated that the
division bill passed by the cor
rupt' Legislature referred to by the
member from Alturas was the
work Of anti.divisionists in the hope
of squelching Elmore county. Tbs
bill passed contrary TO their ~owr

Gently, is fond Of playing practical
Jokes. The other day he had the
tables turned on him in good shape
at the hot spring, while bathing.
The News-aiiner says: while
the attention Of one of the party
was engaged, Simpson secretly en-
tered his room and abstracted an
article of wearing apparel known as
"unmentionables.n The owner leav-
ing the water before the others, dis
covered his loss and without saying
n word appropriated the ''unmen-
tionables' of Simpson and left the
springs. Simpson is six feet in
height with a girth of four feet.
The victim CD of the joke is but
five feet two inches and no paunch
to speak of Simpsons pockets
contained $40 TO 800. The little
fellow had but $1.75 in his clothing.

THE ALL-ABsoRBING ToPIc-THE TOWN DIvI-
 SION CONTROVERSY WAKES wARM-eBJEC-
 TONS RAISED TO THE PROPOSED SECESSION.
 The all-absorbing theme, the topic of the hour, is the town division. To an outsider viewing from Sentinel Hill, the three little settlements, Derby, Ansonia Birmingham, almost hugging each other in the valley be- low. The idea of cutting in twain such @ section would augur of pique among those who are fighting for separation. The ques- tion is often asked by those who are gazing on this local mutiny, "wherefore the feeling and what will be the proft?" Derby is al- ready small enough, and there should not be a stone thrown in the part of aggregation. The natural tendency is to union. Why this stranger and so will any party who rides over these hills and discerns on every side a leaning to consolidation. There is no ra- tional ground why the bill now pending @ hearing at Hartford should be on the docket. The people do not want dis-union. The call for tf is not spontaneous nor is it an issue from circumstances. Put to popular vote in the town the present measure for division would receive blow that would stagger the fraternity that is now coddling it. Even in the garden of this scheme, the borough of Ansonia, the plan has bitter foes. Not few of those who carelessly or without much musing on the real moment of the act, signed the original prayer for a new deal, either regret their au- tograph or are signing the remonstrance. The real ardor burns in the heaving bosom of 8 few tortured souls. With an implacable seal for the good, speciously of the village of Ans sonia, several unhappy gentlemen in this small hamlet, who could not work the political machine at both ends of the town to perfection or the success of favored son, are now in Hart ford striving to split up town that is fast blossoming into city, so as to shut out Bir- mingham from any of their soup. With composed grasp of the situation this brother hood will endeavor to show the right of An- sonia to distinct township because the grand list of the town of Derby accords her three-ffths of the tax-paying interests. An ather plan may be that few of the wares have the brand "Ansonia," and if 8 suspend CT buckle or sugar mill so labeled should find it's way into foreign country and the curious could not discover the locality of the manufacture on map, because Ansonia ap- pears thereon as fraction of Derby, the patrons of such goods would not be pleased.

Slight Changes in the Opening Pres eede a Decline, But This Being Fol- lowed by an Upward Movement she Market Closes Active and Firm at Fractional Advances.

NKw YORK, Feb. IA. Stocks opened with but slight changes in prices. The market was very quiet with firm tone, but the attack upon Burlington caused yielding all over the list and prices were brought down to a shade below those of the opening, Burlington touching 99 which it's lower figure for the day. Chicago Gas the strong spot in the list and sudden change in the temper of the general tone occurred at Il o'clock, everything moving up with will and the grangers and cealers taking tbe lead. The market displayed more activity at this time than at any other time of the day. Dullness fol lowed and portion of the morning improvement was lost but another raid upon Burlington failing to have any marked effect, covering was indulged in to q largo extent and the market again showed animation with decided strength in the last hour. The rebound in Burlington was very sharp and the best price Of the day was reacked just before the close, which was active and firm to strong gsner- ally at fractional advances for the day.

 Lengthy correspondence was then read be-
 tween MT. Shepard, general superintendent
 of the Consolidated road, and Manager Ste
 venson concerning the frictions between the
 two roads.
 MT. Harrison asked witness if these letters
 did not show disposition on MT. Shepard's
 part to accommodate.
 Witness replied:
 "Mr. Shepard and I write letters in 8
 friendly way and give each other taffy to
 make evidence, but whenever they come to
 the point of doing anything, we request it
 always; we want to, but confound it we
 can't"
 At this point the hearing was adjourned until next Tuesday afternoon, when some Of the books of the Housatonic and records of
 directors meetings will be produced. THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY. It was very dull in both branches to-day. Everybody was waiting for the railroad hear ing.
 In matters affecting New Haven was re- port that the resolution incorporating the Winchester avenue horse railsoad company should go to the cities and boroughs com mittee, which was ordered. The resolution empowering the New Ha- ven school district to issue bonds was tabled. Robert Redfeld and w. c. Russell of Or ange were appointed commissioners of the Derby turnpike.
 A resolution was passed in the House in cooperating the New Haven Improvement company for the purpose of investing it's cap- itsl of not less than $25, 900 in real estate, buildings and leasehold and other interests in real estate, situated in the county of New Haven.
 FROM THE CALENDAR. The Senate passed the resolution authoriz- l ing the Thomson Houston Electric company of New Britain to increase it's capital to $10,- | COG, GOO of common, stock, and to issue S5,- O00, ,000 of preferred stock. Senator Fuller explained that the resolution had been so changed as to be acceptable to the local elec- ! trio light and power companies; passed Sen- ator Reeds report to appropriate 10,O0O for Connecticut's representation at the New York celebration of Washingtons inaugura- tion.
 The judiciary committee reported favor ably on the bill to make the first Monday of September legal holiday, "Lsbor Day." and unfavorably on bill providing that in all civil actions demanding damages only, and in all hearings in damages after default or demurrer overruled, the trial or hearing shall be had before a jury at the request of either party to the suit. The House tabled bill for printing, however. The House passed the resolution to allow | the Meriden, Waterbury and Connecticut River railroad to issue $400,00 in bonds, but afterwards reconsidered the vote, as it was thought the assets were not sufficient to war 1 rant such an issue.
