SILVER IN WISCONSIN.

A Colorado exchange has the follow
ing: W. c. Tonkin, a practical miner
from Nevada, recently found silver in
paying quantities near West Superior,
Wis, and is reported to be working q
profitable silver mine at this writing.
The location is on timber land, yet the
surface indications were so good that the
Nevada miner purchased an option on
the land, and the day following began
prospecting in earnest. He was laughed
at. but himself and a small shift Of men
only worked the harder. He kept the
men drilling, and the last blast after
dark the same evening d~islodged an I'm
mense pile Of the soft formation, sending
tons of dirt and rock flying down the
gulch below, and very nearly cost the
men their lives. At dawn Tonkin went
down himself, and says when he saw
what the blast had laid bare he did not
call down the men, though it cost him an
effort to contain himself. About thirty
yards of the ledge had crashed into the
ravine and everywhere along the newly
exposed surface the free metal glistened
in its bed Of silica. He called to the mer
to throw down rope and sacks, as much
dirt and rock as they could carry he
picked out in handfuls at random, and
the party went into town loaded with
wealth. Climbing up and down the hill
had reduced their clothing to tatters and
bruised Their: badly. The result Of thir-
teen assays show the ore ranges from 81
ounces, the lowest, to 3l2 ounce of pure
silver to the ton, with an average Of ovel
80 ounces. Tonkin says there is enough
in sight to pay for building q railroad
and level the ground. The peculiar ma
ture of the formation made experienced
men hesitate to accept as true the report
Of the silver find, but the men hauled il
the metal, and that settled it. Thu
woods are now full Of prospectors anC
capitalists are cultivating Tonkin's ac-
quaintance. The land in that section
was comparatively worthless q montl
ago but now hundreds of dollars pc
acre is contemptuously refused.

DEATH OF GENERAL CoNNoR.

General Patrick Edward Conner died
OF the Walker House in Salt Lake on the
evening of the 18th instant in the list
year Of his age. He was q native of Ire.
land, but came to this country young.
He was a man Of strong individuality,
which he generally impressed upon any
community in which he lived. As q mil.
itary man he won considerable distinc-
tion. He was q veteran Of three wars
the Florida Indian war, the Mexican
wal and the war Of rebellion. He was
commissioned q Colonel in the latter war,
but was finally made q General while
stationed at Camp Douglass near Salt
Lake. He bore q prominent part in the
early stirring times Of Utah. He was
about the first man who turned up in q
Government position in that locality that
Brigham Young could do nothing with.
He deied the Mormon power from the
start, and stood by his opinions until his
death. He also put down all Of the hos
tile Indian tribes through Utah, Mon
tana and Nevada. He earned the repu-
tation of being one of the best Indian
fighters in the West. General Conner
possessed combativeness in a high degree,
which made him a brave soldier. There
was never any question about hia patti
otism. He venerated the American flag,
and was always ready to do battle in de.
tense Of it. The General was widely
known and leaves a large circle Of friends
DO mourn his loss.

ELKINs, APPOINTMENT.

The appointment by the President OF
Stephen B. Elkins, of West Virginia. to
the position Of Secretary Of War, has set
. great many editors and politicians to
guessing what it all means. Elkins is the
close personal and political friend Of Sec-
rotary Blaine. He has been the Score
tary's political manager in several not.
able contests. The inference lie therefore
to be drawn that he was appointed at the
special request of MI. Blaine; and this
i~ustifies the further presumption that
President Harrison and Mr.. Blaine are
in perfect accord. and that the latter has
no thought Of sntagonizing his chief for
q denomination. In other words, II
means that the Blaine following is to help
the President to get the Republican nom.
nation for a second term. At least this
is the conclusion reached by most Of the
great journals of the country Of both par.
ties. To our mind there seems to be
nothing in politics more certain than that
Benjamin Harrison will be the standard
bearer Of his party in 1892.

DEATH OF SENATOR PLUMB.

United States Senator Plumb, OF Kan
sas, died at his lodgings in Washington
on the 2lst inst. His death was caused
by apoplexy, and came upon him in an
instant. He had complained Of pains in
his head for several months, and his ply.
stefan had cautioned him that q fatal ter.
mination might ensue Continuous over
work is ascribed as the cause. The de-
ceased has a brother living in this State,
who is Indian Agent of the Duck Valley
Reservation in the northern part Of Elko
county. Senator Plumb was an ener-
getio man Of fair attainments. He did
not rank with the biggest men in the
Senate, but he was nevertheless q very
useful Senator to his State. Where cor
porations were interested he generally
stood by them, but in all other matters
he went far enough in the other direction
to satisfy the people of Kansas. Ex.Sen.
ator Ingalls, is already talked OF as his
successor. AS the Legislature OF Kansas
is not in session this Winter IL will de-
volve upon the Governor to appoint q
Senator to hold until it does meet.

TILE RAILROAD pEnT.

The great debt due the Government by
the subsidized railroads begins to mature
10 1894, and runsthrough about ten years.
The bonds were issued in installments IS
the roads we're completed in sections Of
ten miles. The Government holds only
a second mortgage. The roads cannot
pay the FIRST and second mortgages at the
SAINT time. A policy has therefore been
formulated to extend the time for the
payment Of the Government from fifty TO
one hundred years. The Reno Journal
indorses the idea in tie following words;
"As there is no disposition shown by
the Government 10 foreclose the mort
gage or run the road, some other means
of securing its indebtedness must be de-
vised. 1t has been proposed to extend
the time Of payment fifty or more years,
and, as this will probably be done, the
sooner il is arranged the better for Ne
vads. So long as the debt is hanging
over the Central Pacific, the company
will make DO effort to develop the resour-
ces Of the country through which it
passes. One Of the brightest of the rail.
road officials asserted before the Commits.
sion appointed some years ago to investi.
gate its affairs, that the Central Pacific
between Reno and Ogden is the same as
a bridge. The idea which that assertion
conveyed has since prevailed, and it looks
as il no effort would be made on the part
Of the company to change it until the
debt question is settled. That disposed
Of, seli-interest, if nothing more. would
induce the railroad people to build up
Nevada, by assisting in developing its
resources, and reducing transportation
rates 70 the lowest paying figures"

a srexrFICANr SPEECH.


Under this heading the New York
Mail and Express, the rsbid Republican
organ OF the metropolis, speaks as follows
of Governor Hills recent great silver
speech: Gov. Hills speech at Elmira last
night was the most significant u~ttersDce
in his public career. 1t was addressed
10 the Democracy Of the country, just be.
fore the opening Of q Democratic Con-
gress, Of which he is 9 member. IL was
intended to be, and no doubt was, the
voice OF the New York Democracy. Gov.
Hill recommended that efforts be made
10 repeal the Mckinley bill and the Sher.
man silver act. and that the Democratic
Congress shall make an issue Of alleged
Republican extravaganza. This was not
the most significant part Of the speech,
for that was devoted to the silver ques.
ton. Gov. Hill broadly and bluntly
came out as the advocate Of the free and
unlimited coinage of silver and gold.
What will the conservative influences Of
Wall street and all the business, financial
and commercial interests Of New York
say to this! Those who thought no harm
could befsll the people from the election
Of q Democratic Legislature now see the
fruit Of q Democratic Assembly a year
ago. On joint ballot the Democrats sent
Mr.. Hill to the Senate in place Of Mr..
Evarts; an advocate Of free silver to take
the place of an advocate of 81 honest dol.
lar. II is not improbable, certainly not
impossible, that Gov. Hills vote may Sc
sure the passage of q free silver bill by
Congress before the close Of his term.

ground.-Sslt Lake Herald.
That is true. The few Republicans in
Congress who stand for free coinage are
being read out of their party by the man
ayers of the &. o. p. in the East. Stew
art was also a pretty good Democrat on
the Force bill. There is but one thing
for the Republicans in the mining States
TO do. They will be compelled to come
over to the Democratic party in a body.

A CELEBRATED BARITONE.
A Nephew of Sims Reeves Thinking of
Locating in This City.

Henry E. Reeves, one OF the greatest
baritone singers in the country, is at
the Hoffman house. He is nephew OF the
late celebrated Sims Reeves, of England,
the most famous tenor singer of the
day. Mr.. Reeves who is in the city is
celebrated as choir organizer, and is
thinking of locating in Los Angeles.
He is very favorably impressed with
this city, and is of the opinion that the
climate here would agree with his sis
ter's health much better than San
Francisco. That is the reason why Los
Angeles may gain baritone singer who
is known all over the world. At all
events, it is to be hoped that some
church will gobble up the services of Mr..
Reeves without any delay. as he is an
exceptional baritone singer, and as an
organizer OF church choirs has few
equals. He conducted the music at
the funeral services of President
Arthur; gave up the choir at the
finest church in Baltimore in order to
visit California for the benefit of his
sisters health.

WATER AND RULES.
A STATEMENT FROM THE CITY
WATER COMPANY.
Mr.. Creasinger's Statements Contradicted.
The Company Says That Its Water Is
Pure and Its Rates Low Some
Figures.

The HERALD some few days ago pub
lished an interview with Mr.. Creasinger,
in which he severely criticised the City
Water company. The following COM
munication is statement from the
company:]
August 10th appears statement of Mr..
s. P. Creasinger, so full of falsehoods
that it betrays either great ignorance
or malice, and we feel it due not only to
the Los Angeles City Water company
but to the community at large to contra
dict it.
He gives the revenue of the Los An
geles Water company at $500,000 an
nually.
Our sworn statement as filed with the
city clerk, for the year 1890, shows
$225, 900.
Within the past two years several
water engineers of great experience
have examined the source of our water
supply, and the quality of the water,
and report that in all respects this com
pany furnishes most ample pure and
wholesome water.
Mr. Cnurcn, one OF the consulting en-
gineers of the Croton Water works, of
New York, has made report on this
subject, after personal examination of
the works of the Los Angeles City Water
company. hence an erroneous statement,
such as Mr.. Creasinger makes, as to the
quality of the water, must have ten
dency to evil.
The Los Angeles City Water company
is delivering to the city and its consum-
ers ten million I0,000,000 gallons per
day, or an amount equal to 240 gallons
per capita for that portion of the city
covered by the distribution system of
the company.
As to prices paid by the consumers, we
copy from the Manual of American Water
Works for 1890, compiled by the Engi-
neering News of New York city, high
authority in such matters, which shows
the average annual family water rates,
which includes house use, water closets,
bath and sprinkling for each state in the
union.
These rates do not include hotels,
boarding houses, business blocks or me-
chanical uses, but the average rates for
families only.
