xlsES AND MINING.

greater amount of work Is being done
 on the smaller properties. The large
 mines are working about the same.
 Good reports continue to come in from mines in outside districts-notably the
 Copper Queen, of Bisbee, the report being that an immense body of high percent copper ore has been found
 with the diamond drill after drifting 600 feet and drilling 1900 feet. No
 further particulars are obtainable at
 present. The mines in Turquois dis l trict continue to increase in richness
 with depth and work has commenced
 on several adjoining properties. We understand that the Dragoon, pat
 ented mine in that district, will soon be started up by MT. Seaverns, the owner This mine adjoins the Defi- ance and no doubt is equal in extent and value. Other outside camps give similar good reports.
 Assessment work is being done on the Fisher group of mines, which ad- join the Rsttling Boy on the south. | The group is owned in San Francisco and the work is being done by c. F. | Hines, who will also do assessment ] work on the c. 0. D. and Telephone mines. There is a strong probability | of the Telephone mine soon starting | up with good force of men.

 Nothing new to report for the T. NJ & M. Co. Everything is going on a, usual.
 The Vizins is proving surprise to many who thought the mine was worked out. It is steadily producing sufficient good ore to run the mill, which is satisfactory evidence to all concerned.
 It is stated that the mines belong ing to the Watervale mining company will be started up in short time and that an engineer and assistant will be put to work this morning to put the machinery in order.

 The owners of the Joanna gold { mine, Robinson district, Eastern Ne v.da, ask s250,OOO for their property They have been offered S1O0 900, which they refused. It is said there Is in that part of the State great gold zone. This zone passes through the Snake range just north of Wheeler's l , Peak, commonly known ss Jeff Davis , Peak, and has heretofore been thought to run a trifle south of west, instead , of north of west, as now seems to be the case. The wonderful Osceola placers are situated in this gold belt, about ten miles north of Wheeler's Peak, and Robinson district lies about thirty-fve piles north of west of 0s- 1 ceola and some ten miles north of ( Ward, in the Stepvoe mountains. Mining has been carried on in that district many years but gold rock was never found in paying quantities and it was generally thought to be & ( copper district. Numerous gold ledges have been found about thirty-five miles south, near the northern line of Lincoln county hut they were too low !

expc,liency, common sense, nor justice In
appointing persons for pos,masters that

The Situation Of Aizairs in old
Worcester.
colored men Of Worcester DO you
know ihat you would have no free schools
lifit was not for The large Democratic tax
payersf Il is fact
Democrats there is no independent
ticket this year 70 be voted for In worces-
ter county. Every candidate is an &C.
knowledged Republican and stands on
the Republican party platform. Don't be
fooled by the "fhsion" cry.
Col. John Walter Smith has given
more employment TO colored men and
done more 10 help them live In Worccs-
ter county than any Republican In the
county has done for them. Do the color
ed people appreciate Il.
The Republicans are promising Offices
right and left TO recalcitrant members OF
their party. or course they have no idea
Of fulfilling these promises even II they
were able TO do so. The truth Is that
when the Democratic majority Is known
the influence OF Worcester Republicans nj
Washington will be Insignificant.
The Democratic candidates have thus
far met with the most enthusiastic recep-
tion In every district where they have
gone. The people geneR1ey appear to
appreciate and recognize the superiority
OF our ticket. Every man on Il can be
trusted to acceptably discharge the duties
Of the Office for which he asks the suf-
frages OF the people.
1T Is very amusing to witness the ter
riblc agony the Republican party OF Wor.
ccster Is In over our taxes. Ours among
the lowest.taxed counties in the State aud
the Democratic party has promised that
they shall be lower just Us soon rs II Is
possible to make them so. But the funny
part Of this serious matter Is that the Re.
publican party should have the cheek 10
make cry about taxes. How many Re-
publicans in this county pay taxes! Out
OF every one hundred citizens Of this
county, IL is safe to say that there Is not
10 Republican taxpayers. On the other
hand the Democrats pay ninc-tcnths Of
the taxes aud any man with ordinary
sense knows that Democrats are not go-
ing TO tax themselves any more than can
be helped. Farmers think Of these facts
"A fanatical Prohibitionist, of POGO.
moke City, writes TO friend In Snow
Ilill that they have only few Prohibi'
iionisis there and they almost risk their
lives in voting. The letter concludes with
the Anarchistic expression. that there Is
only two ways to break up the liquor traf.
fic by ballots or BULLETS! Now this Is
pretty state of affairs! Is 1t not. II
the SIXTY odd millions Of people OF this free
country refuse TO vote for Prohibition.
then these foolish sixty millions must be
the targets for Prohibition bullets. We
know there are great many sensible and
conscientious men In the Prohibition par.
" and among the number Is the county
chairman, Tor whom we have great re-
spect, hut II would be well for the cause
if someone would put his hand over the
mouth of such blatant fools rs the POGO
moke writer.
