Gold from the Placers.

The Robinson Canyon Placer Com
pany tested their bedrock dirt yester-
day by grading a quantity of the
same. The result proved satisfactory,
yielding up the precious metal in pay
in quantities. Some of the gold is
very coarse, some pieces going from
two-bits up to dollar. The company
have now thoroughly prospccted their
ground for 5000 feet. and the pros
poets made show gold in paying guam
tity over that area. There ia no doubt
but millions of the precious metal lie
buried in the gravel and on the bed
rock of Robinson Canyon.

Coed Advice.

The Eureka Sentinel, noting the
passing through of w. F. Cooper, q
mining expert IN the interest of Gov
ernor Tabor OF Colorado, to examine
the mines OF Robinson District. gives
our mine owners this excellent ad-
vice:
The Sentinel would be glad to con-
graduate our sister camp, should it be
fortunate enough to interest Governor
Tabor. He is going miner,
and has reached the top OF the ladder
from the bottom round-the hammer
and drill-and knows the difference
between a mine and prospect hole.
Mr.. Cooper must necessarily be
practical miner, or he could not hold
the high position that he does. Hence
we believe his opinion Of Robinson
District will have much To do with its
future destiny. We do not question
that should Gov. Tabor be induced to
invest capital there, 1t would result in
great benefit 10 all Of Eastern Ne
vada. We would advise the mining
men OF that district not to get excited
over the sale of a mine, nor to unduly
expand their estimates OF values to
snch an extent as TO shut out reason
able purchasers. II may be that no
game In mining can be- too big for
Governor Tabor 10 tackle, but mine
must be already developed and show
reasonable value IN sight for the price
asked before he will iouch IL.

Mining Matters at Aurum

From a business letter received a
few days ago from Simon Davis, OF
Aurum, we make the following ex-
tract pertaining TO the mining outlook
IN that camp:
My partner, B. g. Sanford, and my
self have had long, steady pull de-
veloping our mines. We have just
completed a tunnel TO tap a body OF
400 tons of ore that will sample
from 20 to l08 ounces ofsilver to the
ton. We occasionally ship one or two
carloads tn Salt Lake City, just to
pay our mining expenses, and the
balance we pile up on our ore dumps.
We will continue to develop our
mines and pile up the ore the same as
we have been doing and in time ex-
pect TO make sale OF the whole
property. but we are in no hurry
about Sc ling, for every days work
enhances the value OF our property,
and II the Silver bill should pass IA
vorably that will be so much better
for ms and all other silver miners.

Prior to 1878 legal tender notes and National bank notes were the only forms of paper money continuously in circulation in the country; but the act of February 2S, 1878, authorizing the coinage of the silver dollar by the Government also authorized the deposit of these dollars in the Treasury, and the issue of the silver certificates thereon. sln 1873, when the act discontinuing the com age of the silver dollar went into force, 312 25 grains of pure silver was worth as bullion Sl 03 in gold; but at the present time the same weight of pure silver m tue same dollar IS worth only about i2 cents in gold.

A reported Arctic discovery has been communicated by Captain George B. Leayitt, of the whaling ship Spy, of the Pacific Steam Whaling Compa- ny. He recently arrived from Alaska, where he has been for five years. He hnngs the first news, Of what may possibly be the discovery of hitherto unknown land, many miles directly north of Alaska. During d cruise of one of the vessels of the whahng fleet, winch veniured many miles farther north than any others, few years ago, ibe officers discovered land that could not be found on any of the charts or accounted for in any way A gale drove the vessel far north along the shore of the land, but the season was so late that the men dld not stop 10 explore. Tue men held 1t was land worthy of exploration at the proper season. No vessels since then have been so far north.

Prison Matters.

Chairman P R. Brady, of the Board of Prison Commissioners, states that the most pleasant personal relations exists between Ihe members of the regular and irregular boards of com missioners. During the session at Yuma the 'irregulars called upon the regulars and reiterated thelr old demand for possession and received the old denial. TLey then withdrew to bold an independent meeting else- where and audited their own accounts and those of their appointees. It was reported that they also proposed ap- pointing full set toi guards, lut upon counting the noses ef the unemployed people of Yuma they found insufficient material, and postponed action in the matter. The regular" board, hear ing of their intended step, kindly ten- dered the eight old muskets they had just condemned, for the use of the slr- regular" guards.
 The usual expenses of the prison we're about eight hundred dollars less than last quarter, but it was found necessary to purchase new boiler in place of the old and worn out affair, and this expenditure made the aqgre- gate slightly exceed the amount re- quired for last quarter. During the past three months there were about sixteen more prisoners under restraint than during the previous quarter.- Florence Enterprise.
