Speaking OF the mining country on
vi eastern border the Salt Lake Tri-
bune says:
Last evening a Tribune reporter met
two old mining men who are familiar
with many mining camps. One mined
in California, Nevada, Idaho, Montana
and Utah and went to China and spent
nearly two years in the mines; has
been in Mexico and lately in Tintic.
He places the later district as
one OF the best he knows, but the big
gest and best of all will be the country
that will be tapped by the Deep Creek
road. He mined there in the palmy
days OF White Pine and knows scores
Of claims that were producers fifteen
years ago, some Of which yielded 100
ounce ore, but the high prices OF labor
and transportation did not permit pro-
fit to the miners. "0pen that country
with a railroad and you will see the
best mining country that | know OF,
and | don't believe there is another as
good anywhere" said the man, and
his friend, who was very familiar with
the subject, and could give names Of
dozens Of districts and scores Of mines,
fully assented to this statement.

Refused 60 PoIIute Her Lips win
Ohseena LAnguAge.

Last Wednesday a young lady who
had the misfortune to be a witness in
a divorce case then on trial, was asked
by one Of the attorneys to repeat to the
jury some vile and obscene language,
which she had been compelled to hear
and which was an important factor in
her evidence. The witness refused,
and, in our opinion, very properly, to
pollute her lips with such obscenity,
and she continued to decline TO answer
even after the Court had mildly
admonished her OF the consequences
OF her refusal. The matter was finally
compromised by the witness writing
On a slip Of paper the words she would
not utter. The paper was shown to the
Judge, attorneys and the jury, but the
contents we're not read in court. There
is no sense or decency, nor the ends Of
justice promoted by such a tax upon
womanly modesty, and q law should
be enacted requiring that such trials
shall be conducted with closed doors,
so that at least the embarrassment OF
innocent witnesses should not be made
a public spectacle, or a matter for
1ippant jest or bar-room comment

The Nevada Legislature voted down
a resolution indorsing the action Of
their Senators in Congress for voting
against the Election bill. At the same
time one of these same Senators re-
ceived every vote in the State Senate
but two, when he was before that
body for reelection TO the u. s. SEN
ate. There is a good deal Of con-
sistency about that.-Silver State.
Oh, they shouldn't be blamed. The
chances are that nine-tenths of them
didn't know what the Election bill was.
They thought it was somethingin con-
n~ection with the Australian ballot or
Constitutional Convention, and Black
Wallace didn't happen to be around to
tell them the difference.-Virginia

The Phoebe Record Of the 26th ult.
says: The malady, la grippe, which
made its first appearance here two
weeks ago Yesterday, has since that
time swept the whole town and sur
rounding country. Fully 80 per cent
Of the population here have been af-
fected by it, and five deaths have thus
far resulted. 1t appears in several
forms, a severe cold, with much cough
ing and pains in the head and body be-
ing the ordinary symptoms, leaving
the patient after a few days weak, en-
ervated and unable to bear exertion
and slow Of permanent recovery. In
those cases which terminate fatally
the disease developed in pneumonia
more or les acute and death resulted
after not more than a weeks sickness
usually. The question still is, not who
is sick, but who is well, and the sufferers
are found in every part of the town.

Under boss Rule.

The Virginia Chronicle SAYS there
will never be an honest, independent
or intelligent Legislature as long as
boss rule prevails in the State. The
bosses do not want men OF combined
intelligence and honesty, for they can
not handle them. Tncy waut NO
honest man with more intelligence
than their lobbyist, although some
times they do not object to honesty
combined with extreme ignorance.
There are doubtless men in the present
Legislature who are not personally cor
rupt, but who might just as well be.
for they are hoodwinked and ~blarneyed
into the support Of measures which
could never be passed except by cor
rupt methods, and which were de-
signed for none but corrupt purposes.
With an honest, independent and in
t~elligent Legislature the lobbyists who
are running the concern this Winter at
Carson would have no more influence
than a hoodlum at a camp meeting,
or a Nevada Congressman in a
Congressional Coinage Committee.
The very presence OF such lobbyists
would be an insult to any honest and
intelligent Legislature.

There is nothing left for the free

Duh PUBLIC SCHOOL.
To the PatrOas of the Eureka
schools.


With a view Of increasing the interest
in school work, and thereby raising the
standard Of the Eureka schools. we have
arranged a system Of monthly exAmina-
tions. The result Of these examinations
will form a basis for promotion at the end
Of the school year. This is the system
that has been adopted in the best schools
of California and the East, and we be.
lieve it will be productive Of the greatest
good in giving the pupil a feeling Of self
dependence-iD making him feel that his
promotion depends largely upon his indi.
vidual efforts.
In connection with these examinations
we have adopted the Monthly Report
Cards, which were sent to you at the be.
ginning Of the second school month. We
trust that you will recognize the import
ance Of these cards, and that you will not
be satisfied with merely signing them,
but that you will examine them carefully
and note particularly the standing Of the
pupil in each study, and also his rank in
GLASS.
The work OF making out these cards,
involving as it does the critical examine
ton Of almost endless papers, is one Of
no small magnitude. The work is, more.
over, purely voluntary on the part Of the
teachers and is done solely for the benefit
Of the pupils and patrons Of the school.
We, therefore, ask that you c~riticise
spsringly, and thus help, rather thar
hinder us in our work. Any mistakes in
our work we will gladly rectify, but if
for any other reason you have cause for
dissatisfaction, please report TO me in the
High School room at $3.50 any evening
except Friday, and / shall be glad to give
the Ease my personal attention.
To secure the best results in our school
work, il is important that we have your
hearty cooperation. We trust, there
fore, that you will see to it that your
children are promptly in their places at
the opening Of school, and that they are
absent from school as little as possible
and only for good cause.
The cards will hereafter be sent to you
on the Monday following the last Friday
OF the school month.

such cases should be investigated. Very

We cordially endorse the statement
of the New York Press that the great
need of the Republican party is
organization, and we take the liberty
of reminding the gentlemen at the
head OF our local and State Committees
that a little activity and agitation is in
order. 1892 isn't very far off, and now
is the time to begin to hustle for votes
by bracing upthe week-kneed brother,
and convincing the man whose mind
is in doubt as to which party he ought
to support.
No, the Republican party don't need
any bracing in this State. All that is
necessary is for the bosses to say who
they shall vote for.

Opposed to the Australian system.

Although the Enterprise tries to
make it appear that the Democrats are
opposed to the Australian ballot sys-
tenn of voting, it frankly admits that
La Grave, one Of the two Democratic
Senators, has introduced a bill which
sis better than the Massachusetts law
as it is a compilation Of most of the
best points of all similar laws now in
force" The fact that Boyle. Gallagher
and Stearns, the three who voted
against the bill are all Republicans,
does not add much force to the claim
that the Democratic party is opposed

fornia. II California wishes to show
her generosity proving her gratitude
for the many favors received at the
hands Of Nevada she will allow Ne

proven that any kind OF timber can be

Not much. California is not built
