The last cleanup at the Elkhorn.

The last cleanup at the Elkborn
Hugh Turner informs us, has lifted |
him out of debt, and he thinks will
set him little ahead. He was squar-
ing up all around last Friday, but as
he had not yet made the round when
we saw him, he could not say exactly
how he stood financially, but was
sure he was out of debt. This will
be good news for Hugh's many friends
OF this county, who have taken an in
interest in his welfare, and have been
waiting to hear OF his unsurpassed
perseverance being justly rewarded.
He has worked hard and patiently a
great many years, winter and summer,
at the Elkhorn, under disadvantages
that would have disheartened any
man not possessed of an iron will and
unconquerable pluck. The past few
years he has been developing the
mine-"doing dead work"-in min
ing parlance. This mine, early in the
sixties, was worked to the depth of
200 feet, and 200 feet in length, and
yielded over half million dollars.
After that various parties have taken
hold of the mine, soon became dis
couraged and let loose. Finally Mr..
Turner got hold of it, and never let
go. A few years ago he started a
tunnel to open the mine at greater
depth. This tunnel was run in, from
Elk creek, q distance of thirteen hun
dred feet. He struck another pay
chute last year, in drift run from
this tunnel. THIS new chute is over
one thousand feet from the old one.
He has not yet reached the end Of
the chute, and there is no telling how
long it is. He has a valuable mine
with simply what is now in sight
At the bottom of the tunnel where
the chute was tapped the pay is fine
and the vein of good width, and there
is no doubt that the pay will continue
down to great depth. The pay il
the old chute never gave out, but II
the bottom was not so good as it wa
above. 1t will almost pay TO
working, and will very probably come
in again deeper down. This is tht
case with most all mines. In going
down veins apparently "peter out,
but on sinking deeper pay comes ii
again. The long tunnel mentioned
was run for the purpose of develop
ling this old pay chute, but Hugh, oI
striking the new pay chute on tn
surface, ran a drift to tap it on leve
with the long tunnel. He went At
work taking out ore and crushing a
soon as it was tapped, and of cours
abandoned the work of opening u
/ the mine below the old works, on tn
principle that "a bird in the hand
worth two in the bush" He has q
much faith as ever In the old chut'
but has left the development of it fe
\ a future time. Hugh now has one
the best mines in this part OF ldah
a and there is no telling yet the lengt
or depth of the new pay chute
neither end has been reached, an
the ore is rich at the bottom OF tt
level, which is one hundred and fort
! feet from the surface.

DOM PEDRO's PRICE.

Dom Pedro, who has been Emperor of
Brazil for more than half century, finding
his usefulness at an end in that country, has
retired very gracefully to Portugal. The
inducements offered to him to bow to the
will Of the people look very handsome on
paper. The new Republican government
gave him two millions and half of dollars
in cash, and an annuity of four hundred and
fifty thousand dollars. At this price Dom
Pedro agreed to depart, and did so quietly.
Almost any man, we fancy, would leave
Brazil on those terms. We would agree to
leave better places than Brazil for far less
money. Some people would demand as
much to lure them to Brazil. Yet, when a
man has been Emperor OF country for fifty
years, we presume it is kind of hard to give
up crown and native land at once. Dom
Pedro, moreover, has been an exceptionally
decent monarch, and his popularity figured
in the bill
But it is worth while remembering that
the dollars of Brazil are not the dollars of
the United STATES. To what extent pre-
cisely the money of Brazil is deprecated at
this time we do not know, but in considering
the big figures of the indemnity paid to the
retiring Emperor the difference between a
dollar here and dollar in South America
is worth reckoning. Still Dom Pedro ought
to feel that he is well paid for abandoning
Brazil He should also feel grateful, as his
late subjects may be proud, that the usual
bloody characteristics OF revolution in South
America were almost entirely wanting.

itism and the other means by which great
fortunes have been heaped up at the ex-
pense of the many. The New York Dock
Department was the acceptance of exactly
that idea with regard to the control of the
docks; and it is instructive to notice that
exactly the same evils, in proportion to the
magnitude of the interest involved, appeared
under Government ownership of the docks.
to a greater degree than was known under
the regime of private ownership under COM
petition. Discrimination and favoritism
were rife, and fortunes have been made at
the cost of the people, under system which
exactly realizes the Socialist idea.
The lesson is an important one. 1t DEM
onstrates the already obvious fact that if
our Government has not sufficient integrity
to prevent abuses which prejudice popular
prosperity in violation of the law, it will
not improve matters any to place the wealth
which causes the failure of our laws, directly
in the hands of the politicians.
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1889-11-19
THE CONTROL OF THE PARKS.

The speck of disagreement as to the con-
troll of the new parks which appears in our
local reports, raises very interesting ques-
ton. There can be no doubt as to where
the control rests under present arrangements;
but whether the control may not be modified
or altered, is another question.
Mr.. Bigelow is entirely correct in saying
that the care and improvement of the parks
rests in his department. Under the present
charter and ordinances it could belong no
where else than in the Department. of Public
Works; and it is quite possible that every
one will be satisfied to leave the improve
ment and beautifying of that valuable prop
erty in the energetic and hard. working de-
partment of which Mr.. Bigelow is chief,
Nevertheless, if majority Of Councils
should decide that it is best to follow the
policy os other cities, creating an especial
organization for the Improvement Of the
parks, it is not likely that there will be any
serious dispute as to the power of Coun-
ellis to do so. Indeed it will probably be
necessary for Councils to take some action
in the matter. The work is so distinct from
that of building sewers, paving streets, or
operating water-works, that Councils will
probably have to create either a new bureau
in the Department of Public Works, or a
Commission.
It is not probable that either course will
occasion any dispute. Either can be made
to provide for the full and artistic improve
ment of the property, and that is the main
object to be gained.

THE RAILWAY ACCIDENTS.

The old idea about the recurrence Of rail-
way casualties in groups receives new
corroboration by the wreck on the New
York Central and the two wrecks on the
Pennsylvania Railroad in this vicinity, all
within thirty-six hours of each other. More
over the recurrence of these casualties
strengthens the opinion that their happen
ing together is not the result of blind
chance, but OF causes which naturally prod
uce such disasters. In these cases the gen.
eral cause is not hard to conjecture. The
railways are overtaxed with traffic; their
tracks are crowded with trains; and their
men, not improbably, are overworked. Such
a state of things is almost certain to produce
casualties unless the difficult task of in
creasing the precautions is correspondingly
enlarged. 1t is to be hoped that the warn
ings which have been received will result in
full safeguards against worse disasters.

PITTsBURG, TUESDAY. NOV. l9, 1859.
IT SHOULD SUCCEED.

The call for an Interstate convention OF
the coal miners of the districts supplying
the Northwestern markets gives some color
to the rumor that an effort will be made to
restore the old interstate scale of mining.
1t is to be hoped that the movement will be
resumed, and that success will attend the
effort.
The harmonious action of both miners and
operators for the establishment of wages on
a unifosn basis In all the districts came
nearer to a solution of the wages problem
than any other arrangement yet resorted to.
1t stopped the attempt to compete by cutting
down wages to a starvation level. and was
only defeated by the determination Of
operators in the Western districts to adhere
to that oppressive policy. The strikes and
suffering which have resulted in those dis
tricts is the best proof of the value of the
system which was thus, temporarily at least,
rejected.
1t is safe to say that the miners and
operators of the Pittsburg district will work
together for the restoration of the inter
State agreement. May their efforts be at
tended with success.

Grand Opera House.

"Kajanka," /" which is billed as great Paris
ian spectacle" opened last night at the Grand.
The play is Of 'Black Crook" variety, and the
little plot it contains is taken from Ansley's
ingenious novel, "The Fallen Idol" where
malicious imp, Sdr neIIo, the son of Beelzebub
destroys the idols of two contending sects Of
Buddhists and raises merry hob generally until
he and his mother are finally routed by the
good fairy, Electra. The scenery carried by
this company is very pretty and in some in
stances gorgeous, and the rapid changes made
without dropping the curtain was welcome
relief from the wearisome waits which gener-
ally characterize performance Of this
nature. The chorus, while not
quite SO large as advertised, is
composed generally Of young and, in some in
stances, pretty women, and their costumes are
handsome and effective. The features of the
evening we're the papilioD dancers, Misses Rose
and Alice Bachelor, Nellie Sennett and Edith
Machlin, and the six Donazettes, acrobats. The
former are very clever dancers, and the latter
did some remarkable tumbling. Edith Craske,
in her transformation dances, won consider
able deserved applause William Ruge, who
took the role of ZdrnelLo, the imp, is a wonder
full contortionist, and George d. Melville made
a very fair clown. The other roles were filled
about as well as they usually are in shows of
this character, and a packed house appeared
very well satisfied with the performance as
whole.

ART AND ARCHITEcTuRE.

The improvement of municipal architect
ure is certainly very important subject,
and on which the spread of correct ideas is
much to be desired. Anything that will
contribute to the general Identification of
cities and the ornamentation of city houses
would be gladly welcomed. But there is
such an idea as carrying estheticism TO an
excessive degree, as is shown by paper
recently read before an Art Congress held at
Edinburgh, and the agreement of the North
British Mail in bewailing the absence of a
power to control "the style of architecture
or the kind of material"
The idea of superior power, which says
to an intending builder, "If you do not
build your house in the Neo-Renaissance
style, of granite, you shall not build it at
all, strikes the mind as giving a rather ex-
treme supremacy to the principles of high art
in building. But it is not more so than
the lamentso the Scottish cotemperary over
the incongruousness of certain structures
and the surrounding houses. The assertion
of the idea that the style of architecture al
ready established in street must control
the new buildings, leads to a suspicion that
the aesthetic soul would be enraptured by the
New York, Philadelphia. and, to certain
extent, Pittsburg idea of long blocks of
houses identical in every respect down to
the front door step and the range in the
kitchen.
1t will probably have more satisfactory
effect both for material uses and the pur-
poses of art if the popular taste is allowed
to produce some variety even at the risk of
incongruousness. An aesthetic effect that is
not spontaneous will not be likely to amount
to much.
