OPTION FOR A BOND.
The Joanna Group OF Mines VIII
Probably Change Hands.

The Joanna Group OF Mines VIII
Probably Change Hands.
Mr.. J. A. Heating and Joseph Cans
(brother of Herman Cans of the firm
of Cans & Kline accompanied by
Il. II. Frank of Cherry Creek, spent
five or six days here the latter part of
last week and the first of this, exam
lining the Joanna group of mines in
Robinson District.
The two first named gentlemen are
experienced mining men of Montana,
who can command any amount of
capital if the venture warrants its ex-
penditure. Mr.. Heating is the owner
of the celebrated Resting gold mine
in Montana, which he has worked
continuously since 1866 and from
which a great deal of wealth has
been extracted. He says the Heating
mine is very similar to the Joanna
and that the latter looks as promising
for the production of large bodies of
medium grade ore as the former did
in its palmiest days.
These gentlemen made a thorough
examination of the Joanna and ada
cent mines and expressed themselves
as we'll satisfied with what they saw
and the general formation of the min
eral belt. They also went through
the Chairman mine, which they had
no hesitation in pronouneing very
valuable piece of mining property.
They took their time, took no ones
say so, but PANIED out for them
selves, and the result has been salts
factory.
The News has time and again pro-
claimed the merits of the Joanna in
particular and Robinson District in
general as a great mine and great
mineral belt. whose wealth of the
precious mineral has only been
abrased at the outer edge to show
that millions lie buried in the vast
reeesses of its mountain depths,
awaiting only the magic touch of
capital and labor to bring forth its
treasures. And this is the opinion of
mining men of experience who take
the trouble to investigate the present
status and future promise of these
mines.
We learn that Messrs Heating and
Cans got an option of 60 days for
bond on the Joanna, Joanna No 2,
Cloud and Great Western. The terms
Of the bond, which are perfectly I'M
derstood between the parties, we are
not at liberty to make public, but,
we are informed, it is on such a scale
that as soon rs the bond is signed,
the construction of twenty-stamp
mill will be commenced at once and
they expect to have it ompleted by
the middle Of July.
The gentlemen left he;e Wednes-
daV morning ON their return TO Hele-
ma. and wien they get there, if every
thing is satisfactory, company will
be formed. the bond made out and
returned here for the signatures of
the mine owners, which appended
will seal the contract and place the
new owners in possession of the prop
erty.

The grippe struck Ely like cy-
clone and laid low all of its inhabi-
tants, both young aud old, with one
fell sweep, and for few days sat
down on them with both feet. Ninety
people in this little town were prostra-
ted at one time, whole families sue
cumbing in a few hours to the NAL
ady and leaving hardly any one able
to administer to its victims. Happily,
however, its duration was short, and
only IN one case did it prove fatal. 1t
left its victims weak and haggard-
looking as though struggling for a
long time with some terrible disease.
St. Patrick's day was celebrated in
Taylor by grand ball at Bassett's
Hall. The people got together to
dance off the grippe. A st. Patrick's
ball, without an Irishman present,
must have been novel affair, bUtsueh
we learn was the case. To improvise
the native shamrocks, the boys bought
at Felsenthal's what they supposed
was a green handkerchief and tore it
into strips for button-hole bouquets.
Next morning by the light of day the
st. Patrick emblems showed up a
deep blue--the temperance badge
which was dead sell on both the
Irish saint and cold water evangelists.
About four inches of snow fell here
Sunday night and Monday. Parties
in from Eureka tell US that over foot
fell on the Hamilton summit and
travel that way made tedious. This
storm will be of great benefit to the
grazing and ranching interests of the
county. The weather is now settled
and under the warm sunshine the
snow Is fast disappearing. Since the
above was put in type, the weather
has changed and it IS now showery.
What is fame With some it is
To go to the Legislature, work hard to
the best OF their ability in the Interest
of their constituents, return home at
the close Of the session and receive
the-approbation-no, the exeeration
OF the people who shouted themselves
hoarse in their praise the day after
their election. Ii is a mystery to us
why ambition leads men To court
such fame as this. But some people
banker after it.

from his legislative labors Thursday

Reduction of state Taxes.

The Legislature passed an act re-
ducing the State rate of taxation from
90 TO "a cents on each 500 valuation.
This makes the tax rate in White
Pine county 50 60 on each 800.
Those who have already paid taxes
on the basis of 90 cents for State pur-
poses will be entitled to a rebate.
Our County Commissioners will no
doubt at their next meeting reduce
the levy for State purposes from 30
10 rs cents to conform with the law.

The death of J. r. Williamson, Jr.,
son of Senator Williamson of Lander
county, at Carson last week, was
very sad affair. He was young man
of much promise, just entering on his
21st year, the idol of his aged parents
and admired by host of friends. He
went to Carson on a pleasure trip to
see the Legislature in session. On the
way he took bad cold which devel-
oped into pneumonia and in two
weeks ended in death. He was the
only son of an aged couple, whose
hearts are broken by their great loss.

MERCANTILE ADVANCEMENT
Remarkable Success of Recently Es
tabliShed Firm.

Remarkable Success of Recently Es-
tablished Firm.
There is nothing which grows more
rapidly than our needed industries when
planted on ability and honesty. and not
handicapped by lack of means. That the
public appreciates meritorious effort is
proven by the fact that when energy and
perseverance are exerted, success invari-
ably follows.
The merchants of Sacramento have
always contended that goods can be pur-
chased in this market at lower prices
than can be secured in the metropolis.
and the truth of this assertion is evil
denced in the successful career of the
hardware firm of Schaw, Ingram, hatcher
d Co.
HWhile in competition with many of the
older and larger establishments, they
have made remarkable advancement.
a The members of this firm, eminently
qualified in technical education and bust
ness tact, are now considered among the
leaders in this line, while the distinction
of their house is worthy the inquiry of
the newcomer.
In conversation with member of the
firm yesterday information was elected
to the effect that additional facilities were
contemplated, owing to the vast increase
and continued improvement in their
business. Judicious management in the
selection of stock has secured to them the
advantage of selling to the closest buyer.
Sacramento may well be proud of this
enterprising firm, whose members have
cast their lot in our midst and intend to
remain,

Tartarians, and averaged for the entire
car s. 6s per box. The car left Sacra-
mento May 18th. and was ten days en-
route.
The above car was due to sell in New
York on Saturday last, but did not ar
rive until too late, hence the car was re-
iced, and held until Monday. Some
cherries shipped from the Mouton ranch,
near this city, were picked twelve days
prior TO the sale, and very many were
picked on Thursday, the 18th. The en-
tire car opened up on Monday in good
order, except thirty-one boxes of Black
Knights.
This practically demonstrates that cher
ries can be successfully handled in re-
frigerator cars. The Earl Fruit Com
pany tried to solve this question last sea-
son, but was unable to obtain the neces-
sary refrigerator cars. They consider
this test car, and that growers can now
ship with more confidence; for, in pre-
yious years, while some ventilator fruit
cars arrived in good order, many did not,
and growers have been getting very much
discouraged. In fact, many who shipped
in this car would have sold out very
cheaply on Saturday, when advised that
1t was late, but they will now realize an
average of about 81 per box, net.

over the moral destination of this people.
This is not the occasion on which to APP
propriately show our appreciation of the
beneficent consideration. But l speak
the hearty concurrence of each one of
your vast flock when | convey their
gratitude to you for the great good already
accomplished for them under your guild
highland as seen in that monumental
pile whose spires pointing heavenward
stands testimonial of devotion to your
charge, a temple of the ancient faith typ
zeal of the love of the good pastor for his
followers. Every earthly blessing be

who surround the throne, when yours
will be-
"That true happiness, which is no growth of
earth;
The soil is fruitless if you search it there:
IT'S an exotic of celestial birth
And blooms but il celestial air"
To you, ladies and gentlemen of this
city, a parting word. To-day you have
witnessed the closing exercises of this
institution, and doubtless all of you have
been pleased and edited by what you
have seen and heard. How gratified
therefore, must you be that you have in
your midst such seat of learning where
the opportunity is afforded for the educa-
ton of the young men who are in the
lukuIt ~ dSSuiit TIC uullGS Oh c1llZellS
and of fathers in the community. Here
is to be obtained not only that secular
education that properly fits the young
man for the duties of life, but paramount
to all is the Christian training impaired
to strengthen and adorn those literary
attainments. And need / say to this en-
lightened audience how desirable and
necessary the conjunction of both is in
this modern day OF corruption and de-
moralization Of conscience in public life
The portals of the institution are thrown
wide open to the world of scholars ire
spective of denomination. Nor need
there be fear of clash between its methods
and those of other schools: no danger of
assault upon our political system. Pat
riotism, embellished by moral training,
is of their curriculum one of the first
doctrines inculcated so that when the
young man leaves those hallowed halls
he does SO panoplied with those moral as
well as secular attainnentS that
strengthen him on the march of time to
natural enemies of this and every repub-
lie on earth; let these, with their mother,
idleness, together with profusion and ex-

the minds of the youth of the land with
knowledge and virtue, which are the le-
Ultimate Notifications of republic.
To that end, | know of no better op-
portunity than that to be found in the in
stitution which has SO gratifyingly enter

that encouragement and patronage to
which it is so justly entitled because of its
devotion TO Christian education.

Population of Forest County.

We are in receipt of Census Bulletin
No. 1O5, dated Aug. 13, giving the
population of Pennsylvania by coun.
ties aud minor divisions. From this
We learn that the total population OF
the State on June ], 1880, was 4,2S2,
S91, aud in 1890 it was 5,25S,014, an
increase Of 975,123, or 22.77 per cent.
during ten years.
There are sixty seven counties in
the State, of which only twelve show
decreases. In no case is the decrease
greater than 8 per cent. The counties
showing decreases are as follows
Armstrong, Clarion, Crawford, Fulton,
Juuiata, Mercer, Monroe, Perry, Pike,
Snyder, Susquehanna, and Wayne.
The counties showing increases of more
than 90 per cent. are as follows: AL.
legheny, Clearfeld, Elk, Forest Jeffer
son, Lackawanns, Luzerne, and Potter.
GhlladeIphla ana Allegheny counties
show the largest numerical increases.
Philadelphia county shows an increase
of 1924, or % So per cent, while
Allegheny county shows an increase of
196,090, or 55 10 per cent. The lar.
gest percentage of increase is found in
Forest county, where there has been
an increase of SO 43 per cent. since
1880. In other words Forest still has
the proud distinction of being the
banner county of the State.
The population of our county on
June 1, 1890, will be found in the
official table below, which contains
also the census of 1880, showing the
changes that have taken place during
the decade:
